Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 47

47–Oh Alpha Brody! 

Nora: 

“So, tell me about yourself,” I turned around when he cleared his. throat, trying to sound normal. I mean, I heard his husky voice, and now he wanted to continue with a regular conversation? 

“What do you want to know about me?” I felt awkward talking to him. I wasn’t a very special person, and that had been my biggest complex. I might have done well if nobody tried to control my life. 

“Hey, why don’t you take a shot with us?” Suddenly, his friend pushed him aside but then wrapped his arm around his neck to talk to me. 

“I don’t drink,” I shook my head, thinking that would be all I needed to say to get him off my back. 

“Oh, come on, everybody drinks,” his friend insisted, “I’m Paxton, by the way,” he abruptly mentioned, but instead of going for a handshake, he tried to shove a drink into my hands.. 

“I don’t like to drink,” I refused to hold the drink, even going as far as pulling my hands behind my back to avoid it. 

“Oh, don’t be shy,” he insisted and started tapping the glass on my stomach. Brody pulled his hand away and grabbed the drink out of his. friend’s hand. 

“She said she doesn’t drink,” he then unwrapped his friend’s arm and eyed him to step back. 

“Geez! I was just being nice,” the guy was heavily drunk, so I couldn’t

judge him. Maybe he acts differently when he’s sober? 

“Don’t worry about him. He won’t bother you again, at least until the alcohol is out of his system,” Brody smiled weakly, almost as if he was apologizing for his friend’s behavior. 

“Thank-,” I was in the process of thanking him when I heard a loud, blood–curdling scream from outside. 

I knew whose voice it belonged to. It was Natalya. 

I shared a glance with Brody, who seemed worried too, before I sped. out of the kitchen to see what was going on. 

Natalya was sitting on the ground with her hand wrapped around her ankle, tears brimming in her eyes. 

“What happened?” I rushed over to her, pushing everyone aside 

aggressively. I could see April at the top of the stairs with her friends. And I could also tell that she wasn’t happy that I had come to witness everything. 

“They pushed me off the stairs,” Natalya mumbled, her lips curling downwards, and her body shaking. 

“What?” I yelled in shock. 

April started walking downstairs with a look on her face that made it very clear that she was not at all guilty of her actions or worried about Natalya. 

“That’s not what happened. She was talking about her wolf coming out when she’s in despair, so we asked her to show us just that. She couldn’t, so we thought maybe being in despair, her wolf would help her,” she was so nonchalant that even the partygoers nodded as if it justified April throwing her downstairs.

17Ch Alpha Brody! 

“Even though you knew there’s a chance her wolf won’t wake up to save her?” I didn’t care if I offended her at this point. This was too much. How dare she lay her hands on my friend. I stood up to face her. 

“It was nothing. It’s not like her wolf hadn’t woken up before to save her,” she argued, looking a bit tense now that I was looking at her differently. 

“Waking up to save her from a freaking monster is way different than helping her out of a mess with her bullies,” the moment I called her at bully, she gasped and dramatically put her hand to her chest. There was also something wrong with the people around her because they all acted like it was something that came out of the blue. They were all watching her face like in no way shape or form she could be described as a bully. 

“How could you call me a bully? I’ve been so nice to you and your friend.” she started whimpering, covering her face with her hands constantly. I could tell it was all an act. Had she known I was not the stepdaughter of the lord, her response would have been much different. She would have definitely thrown me down the cliff as well. But now, she was using her cunning ways to make me feel bad for her. Too bad. I could only feel bad for one person at a time. 

“Natalya, can you get up?” I was done with April and her stupid party already. We shouldn’t have come to this party. On top of that, they never wanted Natalya to join the party anyway, she sort of forced herself into the group and then this happened. April was such an evil 

she–wolf. 

“I maybe can,” Natalya uttered softly, offering my help and holding my hand while I supported her body and made her stand up. 

“You’re leaving?” The audacity of April to be shocked that I no longer wanted to stay here baffled my mind.
