Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 364

364–Stealing Her From Brody 

Cain: 

I couldn’t believe she was acting as if she didn’t care. I had been upset with her and even felt betrayed before. But to see her treat me the same way was just terrifying. I don’t ever remember being afraid of losing someone or something like this for so long. 

“I have ended things with Natalya,” I hoped that would make her happy. I wanted to see her act like herself around me again. It’s not like I didn’t appreciate the new, confident her–I did. But her indifference and lack of affection were breaking my heart. I wanted things to return to normal. 

“Oh, I’m sorry!” she shrugged, briefly pausing, but I didn’t let her slip away. I stepped into her path quickly. “I did it because I never loved her.” I watched her nod her head, purse her lips, but avoid looking at me. 

Why? Why was she avoiding me? 

I noticed her body language and felt it was forced. It had to be because of our last encounter in my studio. I’ve thought about it every day since. I remember it word for word. She offered me her body–was that why she was so upset and couldn’t even look me in the eye? 

I have imagined accepting her offer after that day so many times. I accepted not only her body but her too. And those dreams were the best. 

“Okay! It happens. Don’t worry, you’ll find someone better,” I didn’t expect her to be so indifferent. 

“Nora! What has gotten into you? I know you’re pretending not to care, and I understand why. I messed up, but-” Before I could explain myself,

her little chuckle interrupted me. 

“But you had a reason. Yeah, I get it. It’s just that–I feel sorry for you and Natalya, but that’s all I can offer. Sympathy! Everything else I have to offer is for my husband. Now, if you’ll excuse me,” there was not a hint of love for me in her eyes. 

I felt like the sky was collapsing on me. My head started spinning, and I had to rush to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. 

I’m heartbroken!‘ my wolf uttered. 

‘She doesn’t love us anymore,‘ I was still in disbelief. 

Nora used to be so obsessed with me. Her possessiveness made me feel alive and special. 

‘Remember how she used to make us feel like we were all she wanted?‘ I asked my wolf, feeling my heart skip beats. 

‘I think that’s why she’s so indifferent to us now. She gave us her all while we offered her nothing. Of course, she got exhausted with us,‘ I thought. My wolf didn’t need to say it out loud; I already knew. What we did was simply brutal to her. 

But she was my mate. She was supposed to be hurt or at least complain to me. She didn’t even care about the reasons I hurt her or why I ended things. 

‘Did you did you feel anything?‘ I asked my wolf, since we should be 

you–did able to sense more than I could on my own. 

‘Nothing. I felt nothing,‘ he replied, which shocked me further. I knew her wolf was out, so my wolf not feeling anything was a bad sign. Maybe she was right. She was genuinely over me and didn’t even want to think about us anymore.

‘Are we just going to leave?‘ Since she had been loudly proclaiming that she was happy and didn’t want us to interfere in her life, it was clear she wanted us gone. Did that mean I would leave her here?
