Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 348

348–My Mates In The Crowd 

Nora: 

It’s been a month since I started fighting for them. The weather had been terrible, with floods affecting parts of the northern packs. Yet, my struggles never ended. I was still ordered to go to the mountains and capture a mutant to fight. 

Now, I’ve heard they’re bringing some other creature from elsewhere. Or, more likely, they’ll ask me to capture it. 

The cage fight with the mutant hadn’t impressed many, as I couldn’t let him land too many hits on me. I wasn’t a fool; my safety was my priority. If I allowed the mutant to beat me down, I’d have little chance to recover and regain my footing. 

Still, that fight earned Brody a lot of gems and money. Rumors suggested he might get an invitation to the royal council meeting this year, possibly elevating his pack’s status significantly. None of that mattered to me. I wasn’t interested in praise or wealth. 

But once again, I was facing a mutant I had personally captured from the mountains with Rollo. Straightening my posture, I stretched my neck, trying to shake off the tension. The crowd was already roaring, cheering for me. I had been instructed to delay the kill as long as possible and let the mutant land several hits on me. 

I stared at the mutant, standing at a distance. We had been fighting for half an hour, and the crowd couldn’t stop cheering. It was the most violent battle yet. The rain and storm only made it harder to overpower the creature, especially since I wasn’t allowed to kill him instantly.

Landing blows just hard enough wasn’t working. The louder the crowd became, the more savage the mutant grew. He lunged at me, his massive claws in view, and I barely dodged, rolling to the side before leaping to my feet. I quickly moved behind him and jumped onto his back. 

“Tear his head apart!” 

The crowd began chanting. It had become a twisted game for them. In moments like this, they’d scream out suggestions for brutal ways to kill the creature—and I would obey. It reminded me of livestreams, but my situation was different. There was no money for me, but what I was getting was far more valuable. 

However, today was different. Ever since I stepped into the arena, I couldn’t shake a strange sense of familiarity. It was as if someone was watching me—someone I had once longed to watch. It was unsettling, and I couldn’t figure out why. 

It was nighttime, and most of the crowd was hidden in darkness. The spotlights illuminated only me and the beast, with every corner of the arena displaying the fight on massive screens for everyone to see. 

Now was the moment. I wrapped my hands around its head and neck, applying as much force as I could while throwing my body backward. Its neck snapped with a sickening crack, and as the mutant collapsed onto its back, I quickly jumped off. 

But I could tell the crowd wasn’t satisfied. They craved more. They wanted to see blood on me. So, I climbed back on top of the mutant, gripping its head once more. With all the strength I could summon, I tore it from its neck. The sickening squelch of flesh and the crunch of bones. breaking filled the air. I was used to it by now, but the sound still sent shivers down my spine. Blood splattered everywhere, drenching me in 

crimson. 

That was what they wanted. The cheers erupted, louder than ever.

The chants echoed as I stood over the lifeless beast, soaked in its blood. I knew what came next. I was waiting for the sting of a wolfsbane injection. It was the usual pattern after every fight—I never left the arena on my own two feet. They’d drug me, and I’d wake up tied to my bed while the celebrations continued outside. 

But today, something was different. It was taking longer than usual. I glanced at the giant screen above. I had never paid attention to that part. The screen showed me standing victorious, then panned to the cheering
