193–I Am A Drama Queen
Nora:
“Calm down. Drink some water,” Nash said, sitting beside me on the bed, while everyone else inspected the room and checked the windows to see if someone had sneaked in while I was away.
“But who could have done it?” Silas asked, looking confused and lost. However, I wasn’t lost. I knew exactly who could have done it.
“I know who did it,” I muttered grumpily, wiping away tears and clearing my cheeks with the back of my hands. Their eyes turned to me and then to their father, waiting for him to ask further questions. Cain stood in the doorway as usual, leaning against the frame with one hand in his pants‘ pocket and the other holding a brush, gently stroking it between his fingers.
“Who did it?” Lord Atwood took the lead, briskly walking back from the window to stand by the bed.
“I think she should rest,” Cain intervened, which made things even creepier. Did he know Natalya did it, and was he trying to cover for her?
“No, I don’t need to rest. I know who did it,” I said angrily, making eye contact with Cain and gesturing for the others to follow my gaze.
“It was Natalya.” As soon as I said her name, they looked at me before. glancing back at Cain.
“She was in the mansion, and she did this. There’s no other
explanation,” I insisted. I was certain she was behind it. For her to come here and for my dress to be ruined on the same day wasn’t a coincidence.
“Hmm, I don’t think Natalya did anything,” Cain said calmly, tilting his head.
“But she was here, and we know they’ve been having troubles,” Lord Atwood grumbled, giving his son a disapproving glare.
“There’s no way Natalya did that. She left the mansion an hour ago, and I escorted her to the exit myself. She didn’t go to any rooms in between,” his confidence in defending her side irritated me, and I jumped off the bed.
“You’re lying! You’re covering for her. If she didn’t do it, then who did?” I yelled, not realizing my tone or behavior.
“You think I would cover for her if she had done something wrong? I am not just her boyfriend but I am also the pack’s alpha king. I have some duties–,” before he could finish his ramblings, I intervened.
“You are very much capable of lying.” I yelled and his eyes darkened.
“Tone!” Cain hissed, straightening his back. “There’s a working camera in front of my bedroom. We can take a look,” he muttered, sending shivers down my spine as I recalled standing outside his room for too long, peering inside.
“Shall we?” Cain asked, but it was Nash who dismissed the idea.
“That won’t be necessary. The truth is, someone messed up her dress. She was so excited when she received it,” Nash sounded slightly bothered by the situation unfolding in our lives.

I couldn’t understand why Cain was defending her so vehemently. He knew she had done it, yet he was taking her side?
“I understand you all want her to be comfortable, but why is it that every time something happens, my girlfriend is being questioned?” Cain addressed his brothers directly, not even looking my way.
“Because she–” as I tried to make a point, he turned hastily towards me, pointing his finger.
“Not talking to you! I’m talking to my family,” he grunted through clenched teeth, making everyone visibly uncomfortable.
“Cain!” Lord Atwood interjected, urging him to be polite with me, though it sounded more like a request.
“No! If there’s a problem, I’ll never bring my girlfriend here again. I’ll consider this place Nora’s home only,” he made it clear he wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect towards Natalya again.

This might be a good read if it quits switching languages. It starts English then I believe maybe dutch then possibly Spanish so makes it hard to understand with not being able to read paragraphs at a time ....
