Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 262

262–Hurting Their Feelings 

Nora: 

I wanted to save Ryker at any cost. 

“Even if he is the killer?” she inquired with a scoff. 

“He is not,” I replied firmly 

She nodded and continued, “You do realize you’re in all this mess because of them, don’t you?” 

I tried to argue but paused, allowing her to finish her statement. 

“They were supposed to take care of you, but instead, they welcomed your enemies. And look at you now–you almost got humiliated yesterday.” 

As she reminded me of yesterday, I realized I had been out all night. 

“Have a seat; this is going to be a long talk,” she gestured for me to sit down, and I reluctantly took a seat. As long as she offered me a way to save Ryker, I was willing to listen. 

“Here’s what you will do. You will convince Lord Atwood that you’re scared of Ryker, so you want to stay at Brody’s apartment until Ryker clears the test,” she instructed, making my heart skip a beat. 

“He will be taking a test where his wolf will be subjected to torture to see if he is indeed capable of killing someone. But if you want, I can stop it,” she offered, her intentions becoming clear. She was using this opportunity to send me away. 

But why send me to Brody’s apartment? I will eventually come back, and then what? What will she do then? 

“You want me to say I’m scared of Ryker?” I was shocked she was making me do this. 

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to. save Ryker,” she shrugged. 

I’m just giving you an option to 

“But how do you plan to save him?” I wasn’t going to trust her blindly. I needed to ensure she could actually save him. 

“Remember when they said there were no cameras outside, but there were inside? Even when they claimed there were some faults, I managed to get my hands on some footage. It shows Ryker and Cain heading to the rooms to rest,” the moment she said that, my heart revived. 

In the end, I understood exactly what she wanted from me. It was going to be one heck of a thing, but I was ready to do it. 

“So?” she asked. 

I lowered my head and then nodded, 

“You’re right. The brothers have done the worst to me by welcoming my enemies to the mansion and allowing them to mistreat me. Not only did they bring them in, but it seems like they’ve unleashed them on me. I’m miserable. I want to do this one good thing and then cut ties with them. It will be my way of repaying them for what their father has done for me,” it was decided, and I wasn’t going to back out. I said all the right words that would ensure the girls wouldn’t dismiss the plan. 

If I told them I would stick around, they would never help Ryker. Even April, who loved him so much, wanted to use this moment to kick me 

out of the pack. 

I nodded and left the room to find Lord Atwood. I didn’t want to delay this any longer. 

He was in the living room with Nash, both looking worried. The minute I entered, they started to get up. 

“Are you okay?” Nash’s eyes were filled with sadness at what I had been through.
