Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 153

153–Dating The She–Devil 

Nash: 

“You’re doing it again,” I narrowed my eyes at her face, threatening her with my glare. But she seemed determined to argue with me. 

“How much do you know about her?” she asked, her head tilted and her eyes showing a strange danger in them. 

“Enough! I know enough about her. And if there’s something she hasn’t told me, I’m sure it’s because it’s not related to me. Everyone has secrets, Daphne. And if I find out that anyone has breached hers–,” I was talking nonstop when her smirk silenced me. 

Then, in a very calm tone, she added, “There’s a rumor going around. that reached my ears today.” She had her arms folded on her chest, no longer holding her stomach. Her face started to show color too, no longer looking blue and cold. 

“What rumor?” I asked with a frown. 

“Nora has been intimate with her stepbrothers,” the words from her mouth shook the ground under my feet, but I kept my posture to not give her the satisfaction of seeing me react to something crazy about Nora. 

“That is nonsense. You started this rumor, tell me now,” I demanded angrily, watching her shake her head at me as if she thought I was some idiot. 

“Nash! Her own best friend saw Nora kissing Ryker and Cain painting 

her naked,” she mused, making my heart skip a beat. 

The hair on my skin stood up, and my throat started to dry. I knew she was getting aroused, and it wasn’t something I didn’t know already. However, I was shocked that Daphne knew about it now. 

“Who told you that?” I growled, showing her my anger so she wouldn’t pass this information to someone else. 

“Everyone in the school is talking about it. Apparently, her friend saw her kissing Ryker and getting intimate with him. And then she went on to date Brody. It’s like she’s being passed around–” The minute she said that about Nora, my hand raised beyond my acknowledgment. Her body flinched when I stopped my hand midair and quickly stepped away from her. Her eyes grew double in shock at what I was about to do. 

“How dare you!” I yelled, still not over the fact that she said something like that about her. 

“How dare me? Why don’t you go listen to what everyone is saying about her? You’re lucky your name wasn’t in it because I’m pretty sure your brothers are going to lose their crowns for having inappropriate relations with their stepsister,” she continued, but not in a whisper this time. 

She wasn’t wrong, though. This could happen. If the council believed them, they would take harsh steps, including sending Nora away forever. 

I couldn’t believe this. Even when Nora had told me about it, I just found it odd that she did all that. I am sure she was young and maybe feeling something. But why? Why would she lead on both my brother and Brody? What about my brothers? Did they know she was intimate with both of them, or were they unaware of it? It was all so messy, and 

if they knew, why didn’t they stop her? She is just a young girl without a wolf. They have their wolves; they have more control than her. 

“What happened? Shocked?” she grimaced, shaking her head and looking me in the eye with anger. 

“It is all a lie. That never happened. That friend of hers–” I was talking when she interrupted me. 

“I heard she has some proof too. In fact, maybe the council will be on their way to check Cain’s studio just now,” she whispered and then pulled back. 

“Oh! So they’re going to find your painting there too?” As I said that, her mouth turned dry. 

“See! This is why you never wish for someone’s downfall. You don’t know what you’ll get entangled in,” I was certainly worried for Nora and my brothers and knew I had to deal with all this mess. 

“I wasn’t–” Before she could continue, I approached her and held her 

hand. 

“I know. But Daphne, you have been to our home. You know Noral never acted that way around us, don’t you?” I hated that I had to be that close to her again. But we needed witnesses who could say Nora was innocent. 

“I–” she frowned in confusion, her eyes constantly traveling to my 

hands holding hers. 

“Listen, I don’t know what her messy friends are up to, but I didn’t expect that from you. I was planning a date for us, and you’re over here talking crap about my stepsister?” I shook my head at her in disappointment, watching her eyes regain their shine.
