Nora: 

“I’m sorry!” I apologized again, refusing to release his arm. 

He rolled his eyes before pulling h m away, but then paused and returned to face me. “Why did you go for him?” he leaned against the wall, placing his hand behind me. 

“For Natalya. She insisted on him because you had April on your team,” I explained, observing his disapproving head shake. 

“Nora! You’re clueless!” his remark made me frown. 

“I was just trying to help my friend,” I defended, but his head shake silenced me. 

“Natalya can handle herself. She’s not as helpless as you think. If anyone needs looking after,” he paused, and I expected a joke, but his tone remained serious as he continued, “it’s you.” 

I pouted, “I can manage on my own–,” but his cold finger against my lips silenced me. 

“Forget it. I can’t rely on you. I’ll look out for you myself,” he said, bringing his face close to mine and whispering. 

My cheeks tingled, but I managed a faint smile. “So, you’re not mad at me anymore for not choosing your team?” I asked, winking playfully. 

“Nope! You just doubled my workload,” he sighed, rolling his

“For Natalya. She insisted on him because you had April on your team,” I explained, observing his disa roving head shake. 

“Nora! You’re clueless!” his remark made me frown. 

“I was just trying to help my friend,” I defended, but his head shake silenced me.

eyes as he casually leaned against the wall, hands still resting there, and leaning over me slightly. 

“How did I make your work double?” I asked, genuinely puzzled. 

“Now I’ll have to keep an eye on Brody to ensure he treats you well,” he sighed, his tone devoid of playfulness, which touched my heart. 

“Actually, Natalya exaggerated. He wasn’t being mean to me. He’s just upset with Natalya because he found out she lied,” I explained before he went off to confront Brody over something that didn’t happen. 

“But-,” he paused, realizing Natalya d. 

“I don’t like how she messes with your head,” his comment made me frown. 

“She doesn’t. She just wanted to provoke you to get her help,” I mumbled, noticing for a moment his gaze lingered on my lips, and then he licked his own, nodding as if he were listening to 

1. me. 

“Aha!” he finally snapped out of it, realizing I had stopped talking. He shook himself out of his thoughts and looked away awkwardly. 

“Why?” My question made him look back at me. 

“What do you mean, why?” he frowned, his scent hitting my nostrils as he stood so close to me. 

“The change in you is new. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look at me like that before,” I said, no longer blushing as I recalled 

the harsh and cold months we’d had. 

“Maybe you weren’t looking at all he replied with a sad sigh, his lips heaving. 

“Do you remember that monster baby you left in the woods? | could have exposed you and gotten you in trouble. They wouldn’t have even let you defend yourself. The punishment for harboring a monster means you’re labeled a liar. Do you think anyone would have believed you about us being mates after that?” he watched me gasp as I now understood why he helped 

1. me. 

“But why are you so open about wing your emotions now?” I folded my arms over my chest, making it clear that I’m not the type to blush and forget to ask important questions. 

“I thought I had time,” he admitted, “I had time to understand my feelings and you. But I was wrong. Time never stops for anyone.” 

“So, you’re afraid I’ll choose your brother over you?” I whispered softly, watching him close his eyes and nod. It was 

heartwarming to watch him show his emotions and even be sad at the thought of losing me. I haven’t thought about choosing anyone yet. I didn’t even know until now that one of my mates wanted me to choose him. 

“I don’t want to lose you-,” the words slipped from his lips. before he realized, and once he did, he instantly corrected himself, “my mate.” 

“I know it won’t be the same for you because you have two mates. And that’s confusing me so much. Why would a she–wolf be granted two mates without the first one rejecting her?” he 

rambled until he faced me again, his body hunching even more.
