429Can I Trust Them

Nora

What happened? You guys were saying something,Brody smirked at the others as he introduced himself and pulled a chair next to mine. I could barely breathe in that moment

It took me a minute to snap back to reality and force a smile to greet him

Hey, I didn’t expect you to come here,I said, breathlessly, while the others fell silent

What was it that you wanted to tell us?Nash ignored Brody and leaned over the table, trying to catch my attention

Yeah, you were saying something,Brody wrapped his arm around my shoulder and tapped his finger on my skin. Goosebumps spread across my body. My throat was tightening, growing dry, and my eyes searched for Clara until she appeared with a smirk on her lips

I should have known she would be the one to bring him here

I wanted to talk about Brody being alone, and since the quest is over, I wanted to discuss my departure,I lied, watching them narrow their eyes 

at me

Of course, the brothers were not expecting it. Even Brody let out a cough

That is so sweet of you. You were missing me, and see, I arrived,he said in a teasing tone

That’s right. I was missing you,I replied, my mood turning bitter. Clara continued smirking as she took a seat next to Silas

The way she gave him a warm smile made me raise my eyebrow at the two of them

What was going on between them

May I have a word with you alone?Ryker was bold to ask me to step aside from my socalled husband to talk with him

Su-,I desperately wanted to escape from Brody until he placed his hand on the back of mine and said

Sure, you can go. I just really hope you pack your bags soon because things are very serious in our pack. Some small matter we set asidewe thought it would be okay, but it turns outit has gotten bad.His word choice was deliberate

He was mentioning Roman

The way he loosened his grip on my hand and then smirked hinted that it was a warning

Shall we?Ryker asked, standing up, but I shook my head firmly

You can say it here. There is nothing to hide from my mate,I replied, my energy depleted as I declined his offer. He suddenly sat down again but kept his eyes narrowed at my face, much more angrily now

I was sure his anger wasn’t directed at me, but at Brody’s presence, which was shifting my mood and tone

I’m not really in the mood for breakfast; shall we go pack?Now that Brody had given me a hint, I needed to return home for Roman

Sure, hey, why don’t you bring our food to our room while we pack together?Brody asked the maid, who looked over at the brothers for a nod

Instead of the brothers giving permission, Lord Atwood gestured for her to follow the instructions

Why can’t she eat here then?Silas groaned under his breath, but it sounded more like a comment than a question

Brody held my hand tightly as we marched upstairs to my room. The way his fingers were wrapped firmly around mine gave me the feeling that he was unhappy about something

The minute we entered the room, Brody slammed the door shut and glared at me

What was that? What were you going to talk with them about me?he hissed, keeping his voice low, but his aggressive body language spoke volumes

Nothing really,I lied, averting my gaze as he stood facing me, my back pressed against the wall

Oh really? Do you think 

I’m 

an idiot? You were going to tell them, weren’t you? Did you forget I have your children?He slammed his hands on either side of me against the wall, making me lift my head to glare
