Nora: 

I thought maybe he was so shocked because he assumed I would not forgive them so easily. 

“Don’t be so shocked. I’m not that stubborn. I know you were expecting me to throw a tantrum or something like that, but I’m fine. I’ll argue and fight with you once we’re back home though.” I shrugged, pouting. My heart was pounding so loudly even when I was pretending to be normal. 

Wow! 

Standing before him felt so unreal. I couldn’t believe I was able to communicate with him again without him yelling at me or being harsh. 

“I don’t get it,” he shook his head, acting all confused. 

“Silas, I know why you came here. You heard about me passing out, so you arrived to check on me and take me back home. I’m only agreeing because I care a lot about Lord Atwood. Otherwise, I would have said no–” I rambled until I noticed him furrowing his eyebrows. 

“You came here for me, right?” Now that I realized he hadn’t once said anything about me or why he was here, I began to feel a bit uneasy. 

“Who told you that?” The tone of nonchalance spoke volumes. “Remember there were those fog people in the pack a few months ago? I was supposed to investigate that case. I’m here for that,” he quickly explained, causing my heart to sink into my chest. “And what do you mean by ‘you are coming back with me‘? Nora! My dad and my

brothers—I don’t think they’ll appreciate it. At least, stay here for a 

while. I think it’s too soon for you to be coming back to our home,” he finished, but the emphasis on ‘our home‘ didn’t escape my attention. 

“You didn’t come here for me?” As tears welled up in my eyes, I felt my heart shatter at the realization that April had fooled me once again. 

“Nora–,” I heard him call for me but I guess I was done here. I have made myself look like an idiot once again. 

I didn’t stick around and rushed back inside, briskly making my way upstairs when April blocked my path. 

“What happened? Why are you in tears?” she pouted, almost like she was mocking me. 

“You are so full of hatred,” I grunted, hissing at her while she smirked. 

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” she pitted, faking a very sad look on her face. What was wrong with her? Why wouldn’t she stop? 

“Get out of my way,” I closed my eyes, putting pressure on my words as I warned her not to test me right now. 

“Oh really? You’re going to show me attitude now?” She raised her brow, challenging me to straighten up and face her. 

I could hear Silas talking to the guards as he entered. 

“April, the only reason you and the other bitches are still around is because I don’t play dirty. You better pray I never stoop so low, because if I ever did-” I warned her, and she rolled her eyes. 

Obviously, she believed I was just making empty threats. Since I hadn’t been able to do anything to her so far, she thought I wouldn’t be able to

do anything now. 

“Or else? There’s nothing you can do,” she placed her hand on my shoulder and chuckled. My eyes drifted to her touch, and then I grasped her wrist. 

“You’re just a wolfless–” she began, but her eyes widened as I applied force to her wrist.
