253–The Bitter Ex Friends
Nora:
I had been locked away after they decided to put me through a forced transition. It was going to be terrifying, and I wasn’t prepared for it.
There were moments when I was confined to the bedroom that I considered running away. But where would I go? I didn’t have anyone out there who would accept me back without punishing me for fleeing.
“Where are the stepbrothers?” I asked myself, rubbing my palms anxiously.
As evening arrived, the door swung open and Lord Atwood walked in with Daphne, Natalya, and Ford behind him.
“This is the only way things will be resolved. The council is not ready to listen,” Lord Atwood seemed so helpless as he spoke to me.
Of course, they wouldn’t be able to do anything, especially when the pack members demand justice for all the people the monsters have killed. And now he claimed I was one too. And most importantly, that I was on his side.
“Where are my stepbrothers?” I inquired, noticing Natalya rolling her eyes behind them.
“The council had to send them away without revealing their plans. It would be awkward for you to transition in front of them or go through all that–” He paused, as if remembering something.
“What? They won’t be there when I am forced to–,” my mouth hung

dry as I understood what was going to happen to me now that all my support had been stripped away from me.
“Silas will be called back to the scene. But–” Before Lord Atwood could say more, Ford stepped forward to take over.
“But don’t rely on them. They won’t be foolish enough to side with someone whose father was responsible for killing the monsters. They won’t risk upsetting their pack members and the council,” he stopped speaking when Lord Atwood gave him a harsh glare.
“Please help her get ready,” Lord Atwood said as he quickly covered his mouth, breaking down, and rushed out of the room.
Ford went after him to check on him. They had taken my phone away, leaving me no way to contact my stepbrothers at this point.
“Hmph! Remember the humiliation you caused me when you told everyone I tried to kill you?” Daphne folded her arms over her chest, forcing me to confront her expression of satisfaction.
“See! This is what happens when you become too cocky,” she smirked.
“You know, I didn’t even realize how easy it would be to get back at you. I was considering lying and making them give you this test. Little did I know, it was important that you go through with it because there was some truth to it.” They seemed so pleased watching my downfall.
What had I ever done to them?
If anything, they were dating my fated mates. They were wronging me, but of course, the moon goddess would never side with me. She would always choose them over me since I am just a
monster.
“I can’t wait for you to leave this mansion forever. You don’t deserve

this love and affection. This was supposed to be our place,” Natalya pointed a finger at her chest as she glared at me. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
I didn’t expect anything from Daphne because she had never been at friend to me. But Natalya deeply disturbed me, making it almost impossible for me to trust anyone again. I did everything for her except give her my mate.
“Our friendship meant that little to you? If you couldn’t date Cain, would you still be friends with me?” My voice broke as I wanted her to explain how she only cared about being in a relationship with Cain.
“Cry about it,” Daphne commented with a laugh.
“Your friendship? A friend would do anything to make her friend happy. But what did you do? You told Cain not to paint me. I saw you do that. Why would you do that and then tell me he wanted to paint me just to embarrass me? What was all that about?” Natalya’s voice turned heavy almost instantly.
“You were so thrilled to have a new family and stepbrothers that the
idea of sharing them scared you and turned you into an evil witch,” she finished with a scoff, then wiped away the tear that was about to fall down her cheek.
