Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 167

167–Brutally Pushed Away 

Nora: 

“No! You’re lying.” I said, almost pleading. 

“I’m not. I was drawn to your body, but after we had sex, I realized it wasn’t worth all the trouble. I’m moving on, and so should you. You’ve never been loyal anyway. Go enjoy your dry sex with that alpha boyfriend of yours,” he spat angrily. His veins bulged as he hissed at me, which shattered me even more. I didn’t even pay attention to responding to his accusations. I was super focused on Natalya and his relationship. 

“You need to kick her out of your studio right now,” I said, trying to assert my authority over him, though I wasn’t sure why I believed I still had that power. Sadly, that wasn’t the case anymore. 

When I grabbed his collar to stop him from leaving and listen to me, he slapped my hands away and quickly freed himself. He continued to glare at me as if I had committed the gravest sin. 

“You’ve lost the right to touch me,” he warned, oblivious to my tears. 

“Fine then. I’ll go and kick her out myself,” I said defiantly, attempting to walk past him. I don’t think I’d ever been that angry before. It was like he had brought my worst enemy into the mansion right before my 

eyes. 

“You will not do that,” he said, gripping my arm tightly, causing me to grimace in pain. 

“If you disrespect her, I’ll tell Dad and show him how crazy you are,” 

he threatened, moving his face closer to mine. “If you ever argue with Natalya or upset her, Nora, there will be serious consequences from me.” 

The threat was deadly serious, and tears started streaming down my face as he pushed me back and left my bedroom. 

I was left with a broken heart and bruised ego. I couldn’t move or recover from it. With my hand on my heart, I knelt down and covered my face with my hands to cry silently. 

“It was the worst kind of feeling. I feared that the next time I let my wolf out, she would feel the pain of betrayal. And then what? How would I comfort her? I didn’t even know how long I stayed there on the ground, mourning over my broken heart. But even the knock on the door couldn’t snap me out of my trance. 

Soon, the door opened as if someone had grown tired of knocking. I heard footsteps, but my mind was so blocked that I thought maybe Cain had returned. Perhaps he had reflected on his actions and realized his mistake. So I waited for his apology instead. 

“Nora! Are you okay?” Surprisingly, it was Silas’s voice that broke through my thoughts. I raised my face from my hands and saw him standing over me, 

his forehead creased with concern. 

“Cain is dating Natalya,” I said, feeling miserable and seeking comfort in him despite the circumstances. 

“That snake? No way,” he exclaimed, shaking his head and wrinkling his nose in disgust. 

“She must have lied to you,” he assumed it was Natalya who had given me the news. 

“I saw them together in his studio just now,” I sniffled, feeling tears welling up. 

“Are you sure?” he knelt down, his arms folded over his knee. 

“Yeah, I’m sure I heard Cain tell me that I need to respect Natalya now.” I finished, not expecting him to go against his brother. 

“I don’t want to control who he dates but why her? Why that girl of all the people in the pack?” I was losing my mind thinking about Cain and Natalya being together. 

I just needed to confide in someone about what happened, to see if I was the crazy one or if I was overreacting. 

“Has he gone mad? Why the hell would he bring that bitch under our roof again?” Silas’s tone grew harsher this time, his eyes briefly flashing a different color that I couldn’t quite discern. 

“I’ll go make her leave,” Silas tried to get up, but I held his arm, freezing him for a moment. The awkwardness lingered until I released him and sniffled again. 

“No, it’s alright. He’s made it clear that he’s happy with her,” I said after some thought. Despite feeling broken and upset, I didn’t want anyone to force Cain to end his relationship. After all that had happened, would it really make things better between us? Never. I would never be able to move on from today. 

“I can’t believe this,” Silas muttered under his breath, shaking his head slightly. 

“I have no clue what my brothers think sometimes,” he continued. It was oddly comforting to see him react just like I did. 

“You know what, come on, let’s go for a walk,” he said, grabbing my

arm and pulling me up. 

“No, I’m fine. I’ll just rest now,” I insisted, but he was insistent when he wanted something. 

“I said, let’s go. Why sit here and cry when they’re the ones at fault? If they enjoy each other’s company so much, you need to show them you can have fun without them,” he said, poking my nose with his finger before dragging me along.
