314–I Feel No Pain
Nora:
Life was finally good. I didn’t have a comfortable bed or healthy and tasty food to feast on. I have to get up early and do chores during the day but there was a weird silence in me that didn’t let me feel
emotional.
I had been cleaning the living room since morning, and every time the royal beta and royal gamma came in, they would throw things around. like they were kids.
I knew they were doing it on purpose. Even Clara was enjoying herself. I also knew she was in constant contact with April, informing her about the mistreatment I was receiving here. I wondered if April would ever tell the brothers that I’m pregnant and not being treated well.
Well, even if she does, it would change nothing. They’ve made it clear they don’t want anything to do with me anymore.
“Clara!” Brody arrived with a smile, completely ignoring me as he walked straight to Clara.
“Hey, you’re home early. What’s going on?” she smiled, quickly sitting up and running a hand through her hair.
He grabbed the remote out of her hand and turned down the volume to have a proper conversation with her. The way he sat with her and placed his hand on her thigh made it clear there was more happening between them now.
It was pretty obvious she had a crush on him, and his new behavior

toward her was going to escalate things between them.
But why do I care?
I continued mopping the floor with a cloth. They didn’t even give me a broom today. I just think I can get better cleaning supplies.
Ugh! That was all running in my head for two hours. A good mop! A perfect vacuum cleaner.
“Remember you wanted to visit the waterfall in the The Crimson Hallow pack?” he asked her, holding her hand. Her smile widened at
his offer.
“Yes?” she raised her brow but quickly glanced at me with a smirk, almost as if she wanted me to hear their conversation.
“So, I’ve decided to take you out for a fancy dinner tonight while I visit the The Crimson Hallow pack for some work,” he said, and she lunged at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.
“Really?” she broke the hug, looking into his eyes.
“Of course. I was going there for some work and thought of you. They‘ ve promised to prepare a fancy dinner for us near the waterfall. So, let’s get ready because you’ll be staying in that pack with me for at least three days,” he spoke softly to her, and I even noticed a bit of seduction in his tone.
“I’m so happy,” she pouted before clearing her throat to get my attention. “Nora, I’ll need you to pack my bags.”
I closed my eyes briefly before forcing a weak smile, “I already have too many chores today.”

It was like I had hit her with something hard. The way her eyes widened in shock, followed by Brody’s frown, was quite a sight to see.
“See! She never listens to me, no matter what I ask of her,” Clara folded her arms over her chest, making Brody laugh as he found her reaction cute.
“Don’t worry,” he patted her shoulder and then turned to face me. “Nora! Stop this at once and listen to her. You’re not some queen here, so know your place,” his tone was harsh, cutting through me.
Since I had rejected his offer, he had become even crueler, deliberately insulting me or calling me names for having slept with someone who wasn’t my mate and carrying his child. He had shown me how people act when they no longer feel the need to impress you.
I remember how he used to behave with me before. He was so gentle and kind until he no longer wanted to be. Or maybe he was respectful towards me because I was the stepdaughter of Lord Atwood. I wasn’t anymore so he didn’t need to.

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 ....
