Nora:
“This is so beautiful,” I exclaimed, scanning around the apartment. It was on the topmost floor, and most of the apartments around that level were unoccupied. That is what made this place even more secure for
me.
“I picked out everything that will suit your taste,” he added, walking behind me as he watched me explore everything like a lost kitten. behind me as he w
“There are two bedrooms,” it was hard not to notice this pink one. He had decorated this room entirely with things I would like.
“Yeah! This is your bedroom,” the moment he said that I turned around to look him in the eye, with a sad pout covering my lips. “What? I knew you wouldn’t be comfortable sharing a bed with me. And I’ve told you, Nora, I will never force you into anything.”
With every passing minute, I realized that I had made the right decision. Sometimes, the fated mate is really not a mate for you.
“Also, there will be a guy on the first floor whose only job will be to get you whatever stuff you need if you don’t want to leave the apartment to buy groceries,” he had taken care of everything.
Honestly speaking, it felt like I had found my lost freedom. Not that I was caged in the mansion, but with the mates and stepbrothers, it had always been a struggle to have alone time. Especially now that they weren’t really who I thought they were, I needed some time by myself.
“You are so cute,” I clasped my hands together and brought them

closer to my chest, smiling as I watched him.
“This isn’t some luxurious place like your mansion, Nora, but I will make it very comfortable for you,” the fact that he didn’t try to touch me after bringing me here made me even prouder of him.
I didn’t understand how he and April were cousins. They were both so different.
“Thank you, can I hug you?” I asked, feeling awkward since he wasn’t touching me and I didn’t want to without his consent.
“Of course, you don’t even need to ask. I am all yours,” he happily opened his arms and I fit like a glove in them.
After staying in his embrace for a while, we decided to have something to eat and then watch a movie. I couldn’t believe I got so comfortable with him that I sat so close, with his arm wrapped around me. We snuggled throughout the movie, making this experience even more pleasant for me.
But then it was time for us to say goodbye. I had to return home because Lord Atwood would be waiting for me.
“I wish you could stay here tonight,” he pouted, getting up after me and fixing his sweater.
“I wish so too. But I guess I will be frequenting here after the ball,” that is all I was waiting for. After that, I will try to leave that mansion. behind for some time and stay here. Especially whenever Brody wouldn’t be around. I didn’t say it out loud to him, but I wanted to be
alone.
With him, I was reminded of mate bonds and love. And in that moment, I was not ready for any of it. Love and mates have left me

deeply scarred.
Brody and I sat together in the car and made our way back home. I asked him to drop me off a little farther away so that I could take a walk.
I wanted to be on my feet. I used to walk so much before, but ever since I arrived at the mansion, I’ve become so lazy. Not to mention my hyperactive wolf. She needed to use her limbs, and I couldn’t figure out how to give her that satisfaction. There were times when I thought about telling Brody and asking him for help, but then I changed my mind.
After Cain and Ryker, I’ve realized it only takes someone one night to change, and then whatever secrets you’ve shared with them become a threat.
“Bye!” Brody waved his hand, speeding away.
I sighed and began to walk towards the mansion. I could see it in the distance. Then, something caught my eye.
There was a girl standing next to Cain’s car, not just standing but doing something. It was so dark now that I couldn’t make out what she was doing from that far away. So, I briskly started to make my way when I realized what was going on.
She was actually using paint to write something on the car. My heart skipped a beat, and my pace quickened. His car must have just arrived from the wash, and the driver must have parked it outside for some
time.
“Hey! What the heck are you doing?” I ran, even dropping my purse in the dark. It was only a matter of time before I got my hands on her. She heard me and briefly turned to look at me.

I suddenly stopped and gasped to see Natalya.
Why was she here, and what was she doing?
Seeing me startled her. She quickly pulled her pink hoodie over her head and ran in my direction with the spray paint in her hand.
She was wearing all pink: a pink hoodie, pink boots, and even pink gloves. She thought she could run past me without getting caught. Just as she was about to pass me. I lunged at her, but instead of grabbing her arm. I managed to snatch the spray paint out of her hands.
I stopped and tried to run after her again, but she quickly turned and pushed me, knocking me down on my butt. It hurt, so I had to close my eyes and wince in pain. By the time I got up, she had stopped at a distance, doing who knows what in the dark. When I stood up, she started running away again. I chased after her, but she was already too far gone. I did find my purse on the road and grabbed it, briskly making my way back to the car to see what she had done to it. I gasped.
She had spray–painted the car with the words, “The Alpha King Cain is horny for his stepsister.” My jaw dropped, but that wasn’t the worst of it. Someone arrived while I stood next to the car with a spray paint bottle.
