359–They Are Planning Something
Nora:
The woman that just came around was not Brody’s sister or relative, the brothers could tell. She looked so obnoxiously into Brody. I bet they must be noticing it and they were. They were sharing glances.
Brody awkwardly stood up to give Janet a proper hug, and I couldn’t help but relish his discomfort. However, the moment my eyes landed on the brothers, my happiness evaporated. They were scrutinizing my every
move.
This could delay their stay.
“Hello,” Brody broke the hug and cleared his throat, turning to face the audience, who were waiting for Janet to be introduced. “She is, umm- Janet-”
He struggled to complete the introduction. Janet was already aware of the plan, but I wasn’t sure how long she could maintain the facade of being okay with Brody having another mate. She already looked like she wanted to attack me.
“I am his second wife and mate,” Janet announced, cutting off Brody’s hesitation. She wouldn’t let him stumble over his words when it came to
her.
Lord Atwood and the others immediately stood up, their concern for me evident. Of course I lied about them suspecting Brody having another
mate.
“What is this woman saying?” Lord Atwood demanded, using a much

It reminded me of the overprotective stepfather he used to be.
“What is going on? How can it be possible?” Lord Atwood hissed, his eyes shooting glares at Brody and Janet.

Brody was struggling to come up with an excuse, his lips had turned blue out of fear. But I was worried if he would take that frustration out on my babies.
“She’s not lying. She’s my friend, and I suggested to Brody that he-” I tried to explain, but Cain stepped forward before I could finish.
He had never looked so aggressive before.
“This is bullshit. You’d suggest your husband take another mate, and he accepted? What kind of twisted games are you two playing with us?” I should have anticipated that my plan to make Brody anxious and nervous would backfire.
Their anger was intense, but I didn’t understand why. It wasn’t like it was as bad as being brutally kicked out of your own house.
“Easy! I wanted this. Actually, I’ve been so busy that- I couldn’t give Brody enough time. He was suffering because of me, so I suggested he marry my friend. If he didn’t-” I tried explaining, but every time I made it seem like I had coerced Brody into marrying Janet, her anger grew.
Cain looked like he could transition any minute.
“Oh, eut the crap!” Ryker finally hissed. His eyes were filled with an emotion I couldn’t quite place. Even when I was upset with him, I couldn‘ t forget how he had stepped up to save me that day. He was the only one I felt might have a legitimate reason to be angry with me, especially since I had openly admitted to being afraid of him while he was imprisoned for

my sake.
“And this horny alpha agreed?” Ryker’s outburst snapped me back to reality as he yelled at Brody.
“Hey, this is between us. She insisted hard, and I had no other choice,” Brody replied, sounding both clever and clueless. He had no idea how bad he looked for saying it out loud.

“Huh? What are you, twelve? You couldn’t take a stand and tell her you didn’t want-” I had to cut him off or else things might escalate. I didn’t want Brody to suspect I had lied about the brothers suspecting he had another wife.

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 ....
