130–Leaving His Girlfriend Because Of Me
Nora:
“I asked you something.” Nash glared at me, the sudden change in his tone warning me that he didn’t actually know.
“Nora! I am asking you something,” he narrowed his eyes at me, making me squirm uncomfortably.
I know I’ve ruined their relationship before, and now, if I say something without any proof, I might provoke another heated argument.
“I’m not sure if she–” I shut up. I didn’t see who pushed me or if there was even a push. What if I just slipped?
I then watched his face and remembered what Daphne had told me. They were fated mates. The Moon Goddess would never forgive me for disrupting a bond between fated mates.
“Nora, what’s going on?” He got up and marched towards me
aggressively and briskly. I held my breath and stepped back, but he had reached me already and had grabbed my arms to make me look into his
eyes.
“Tell me now, what did you mean by what she did to you?” he inquired. There was a clear warning in his eyes that I needed to be honest with him now before he lost his temper with me.
“I’m just—I don’t know. I don’t want to come between you two,” I sighed, hoping he would let me go, but he held me so close that I felt like an ant in his arms.

“Look me in the eye and tell me what the issue is. Don’t worry about our relationship,” he said, and my eyes shot to him.
“Our relationship?” I raised my brow.
“Yeah, Daphne and mine,” his face softened as he watched me realize how stupid I am.
“Oh! Right. But how come I not? I’m not even sure, and imagine I make the fated mates argue because of some doubts,” I sighed as I delivered my fear to him.
He squeezed his eyes in my face, and as I didn’t add anything else to the conversation, he leaned over me to speak very softly. “Fated mates?”
I noticed the confusion in his face. It rubbed me the wrong way. Why would he act like he was hearing this term for the first time?
“She told me about you two,” I divulged.
“And she said we are fated mates?” he questioned, compelling a nod from me.
“Oh, Nora!” his smile was so goofy, and then he shook my body a little, trying to wake me up, “she fooled you.”
He kept pulling me closer to the point that I had to rest my hands on his chest, and the minute I did that, he quickly wrapped his arms around my back, shocking me. This wasn’t normal behavior. But why was I not complaining?
“She lied to you. She is not my mate or anything. I’m not even sure if she is going to remain as my girlfriend after what happened with you either. So tell me, what did she do? Doubts or conspiracies, just share it with me,” he insisted, his hands on my back, and our bodies

connected in such a sinful way.
“She was talking about all the weird stuff. About my mom and how it’s unfair that your brothers have to take care of me. And then she asked me if I can even do anything for you when you’re showing so much concern for me,” I recalled every bit of our conversation and attempted to summarize it for him.
“And?” he raised his brow.
“She asked me that there was no water and that when you will return, you will have nothing to drink from so she told me there was a river that I can get water for you,” I explained and stopped when his hands. gently groped my back. It was so subtle but so comforting that I didn’t even show a reaction to it.
“And you walked into the woods without anyone guiding you to get me water?” I’m sure he was shocked that Daphne played me like that, but why the hell did he look so happy? Almost happy until he focused on what happened.
“Wait! She told me you wanted to text someone—that bitch! How did you fall down?” The realization was slowly dawning on him.
He let go of me and stepped back, running his hand through his tiny hair.
“I don’t know. I’m not sure. I feel like somebody pushed me, but then I could be wrong. I really don’t remember that well,” I finished and watched him nod his head aggressively.
He seemed angry.
“What are you doing?” I asked him, watching him grab his phone.
“I need to give her some hearing,” he said, eyeing me to not stop him.

He dialed her number and after a few minutes, she finally received his call.
“You finally remembered to check on me?” she sounded so sassy even after she had lied to me about the river and had possibly put my life in danger.
“Why did you tell Nora there was a river to get water from?” he started, and she scoffed.
“I have reached home. But I am sure you are more focused on her– wait! You found her?” The change in her tone and attitude was a bit too much. It didn’t even seem like she cared that I have been missing.
Answer me, Daphne. Why did you lie about Nora wanting phone signals and hide it from me that it was you who manipulated her into walking into the deep woods where there was no river?” he was now hissing at her. I noticed the veins popping in his biceps and at his temples.
“I did not. Did she tell you that? Oh my Goddess, she is lying. She knows she messed up, and now she is lying.” Daphne yelled, making my jaw meet the floor.
“Hey! You told me. Remember all that useless conversation and that testing me to see if I would do anything or Nash?” The minute I yelled into the phone, I watched Nash turn his head to me.
I’m not sure what he was observing, but I haven’t seen him act so cautious around me before.
“Huh! You are lying. We know your truth and who you are dating. So stop fooling your brother–” she screamed, but Nash had pulled the phone away from me.

“It’s over between us,” he declared, putting silence to her almost like there had never been noise.
