291–April Fool
Nora:
“Did y you hear that, Akira? Now stop being upset and come out. Our stepbrother is coming to take us back home,” I cheered happily, taking big bites from the waffles I carried in my hand without any syrup. I looked around at the things I needed to pack.
“I shouldn’t have unpacked all this stuff.” I rolled my eyes at myself for not trusting my stepbrother before. They were obviously emotional when they made me leave. Now they have returned to their senses.
“But it will be fine, you know? I will keep coming here to visit Brody. He’s so nice, but I think he deserves someone who doesn’t carry the baggage of so many mate bonds on her shoulders. He doesn’t need to babysit someone who is in love with someone else,” I truly believed Brody was the best.
But my mate bonds would never let me fall for him. And even if I did, whenever I faced my mates again, my heart would ache to be with them. That would be unfair to Brody.
Besides, keeping me as a friend when his pack members think we are chosen mates wouldn’t be good for his reputation either.
I grabbed my bag and shoved my clothes back inside, hastily trying to gather all my belongings.
Once I go back with Silas, I’ll tell all of them how much I have cried because of them. I know they will somehow make amends and make me happy again because that’s what they are good at.
201–April Fool
Once all the packing was done, I stood on the terrace, keeping my eyes on the main gate. Hours passed, and my anxiety began to grow.
Once again, I started to question his arrival. What if he changed his mind?
“Oh no, what if Brody called him and told him not to come?” I gasped in shock, tearing up. How would I ever find out why Silas didn’t come? Well, I have to call him.
He cares so much, of course, he’ll answer my call. But why didn’t he reach out to me himself? Maybe the guilt didn’t let him.
Just when I was about to call him, I saw the big gate open, and it was like the sight instantly brought a smile to my lips. It was Silas‘ car.
He had really come to take me back home. With tears of happiness and a big, bright smile, I rushed out of my room to go see him.
I didn’t even care that the others were still in the TV lounge, watching me run out of the mansion like a madwoman.
Once I was in the driveway, I slowed down and sniffled. He was supposed to drive all the way to the end, but seeing me made him stop. his car and get out.
There he was—Silas!
He looked so handsome in that blue hoodie and black pants. His eyes. shone from behind his glasses.
He was just as I remembered him. It hadn’t even been many days, yet it felt like I was seeing him again after many years.
“Silas,” I uttered his name, and he gave me a nod in greeting.

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 ....
