179–The Unwanted Transition

Nora:

He broke off the kiss but only to wrap his arms around me and pull me closer. My body warmed up as his hot skin came into contact with mine, even through the clothes. His hands moved up and down my back, groping my body. He tilted his face and deepened the kiss, slowly sliding in his tongue.

Just like a hungry tigress, I sucked his tongue instantly.

“Ahm!” A little moan escaped my lips into his mouth. He rubbed his lips all over mine, his hands exploring my body. The wind blew, and we finally realized we were not in the comfort of my room but outside, under the gaze of my brothers. I almost didn’t even remember. As we broke off the kiss, we stood under the cloudy sky with our foreheads touching, breathing rapidly and staring at each other’s lips. It was then that I realized this is what I wanted–to forget about the harsh past.

Just one kiss from him, and for a few seconds, I was in a completely different world.

“Thank you for coming here today,” I said breathlessly.

“I would even cross the border for you,” he laughed against my lips. before planting another kiss and pulling away from me. It gave me tingles, or maybe because deep down, I knew he cared about me. And in his care, there was no hidden agenda or revenge.

“Let me walk you to the exit,” I said and held his hand. However, as I walked away with him, I recalled something that made me uneasy.

“Do you hate my mother?” The question slipped out, shocking him into turning to me and watching my face in bewilderment.

“What? No! Why would you say that?” he frowned, but there was a sweet smile of disbelief on his face.

“Earlier, when I was talking about her, you didn’t even react and changed the subject,” I reminded him about our car ride back home.

He narrowed his eyes but zoned out to recall the full incident before he started chuckling, shaking his head at me in disbelief.

“You silly one. I just didn’t know what to say. I’m not really good at comforting someone,” he winked, scratching the back of his neck. “Unless it’s a kiss. I can do that for you anytime,” he playfully licked his bottom lip, and I shyly slapped his chest.

“But it’s true. Not that I hate your mother, but I do look at you and cannot believe you are the daughter of the woman the entire pack hated,” he decided to be honest with his words.

“Why? Because of the alpha king?” I questioned.

“I guess. The other packs weren’t informed of the personal matters of the pack, so I can’t be sure. As for me personally, I didn’t even know your mother, so I can’t say much. But definitely, whatever everyone. used to say about her must be wrong.” he caressed my cheek gently, and that was all I needed to hear at the moment.

“I’ll leave now. Today is a full moon, and I need to have a meeting with my pack’s royal beta as well. I’ll let you know when I get the

apartment,” he was so excited to have an apartment of his own where he could invite me over.

Not going to lie, it would be for the best as well. I was really not okay

with him living under the same roof as the two people who hate me desperately. Once he left, I sighed and spun around to get into the mansion. These days were so difficult for me to get through.

Most of the time, I just sat in my bedroom and either watched TV or did my homework, which I had no interest in anymore.

I strolled steadily back to the mansion, and once I stepped in, I came face to face with Ryker, Cain, and Nash.

They seemed to have been waiting for me. Ryker was leaning his back against the wall, his legs stretched out and his body bent forward with his hands in his pockets. Nash was pacing around, clenching his fists, and Cain was standing straight with his arms folded over his chest.

“What was that!” Nash broke the silence, making sure to show that he was unhappy about something.

“What?” I asked politely, avoiding the two behind him.

“We get it that you two are dating, but to make out in front of your stepbrothers? Did you not understand that he was hurting our pride by groping and kissing you in front of us? It was like he was taunting us for sleeping with our stepsister,” Nash kept going, angrily hissing every few words as well.

“Oh, I don’t think he did it to make a point or anything,” I defended Brody. Although I used a gentle tone, Nash was seething with anger.

“He did it. I know him. He wants to get back at us. And by the way, weren’t you only supposed to date him to clear your name?” He placed his hands on his waist, grunting as he demanded I answer him. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

The ones beside him had barely said anything. They were making sure they stood beside their brother but not to intervene too much at the

same time.

“I have decided to give him a chance,” I murmured softly, “I’ll be in my room.”

Before Nash could react, because I’m sure he was going to, I briskly walked past him to my room.

While getting away from them, I had to walk past all three of them, and it was so hard to inhale their scents and avoid them. Once in my room, I scoffed. My fingers rested on the ring on my finger.

I wanted to twist it and let her out to have a word with her. I owed her an apology and needed to explain why I had kept her trapped for so long. Taking a deep breath, I twisted the ring. Since I was in a much better place today, I expected her to be calmer than before.

However, I was wrong. She had suffered so much in silence that the minute I let her out, she lost control and did exactly what she was not supposed to do..

She started the transition.
