22-Legs Stretched On The Bed
Nora:
“Why on earth is my dad here?” Ryker glanced at me as I steadily got up from the ground, straightening my sweater.
“I don’t know. He didn’t tell me before coming here,” I lied, wondering if he would catch me in a lie.
“Hmm!” he placed his hands on his waist, taking steady and deep breaths, all the while making sure he quickly came up with a plan. “You’re going to meet my dad and tell him to stop coming for you,” as he watched me get ready to leave for school again, he threatened me, “and if you don’t convince him to leave you alone, I will tell everyone that you lied about your wolf.”
I bet he sensed I had reasons to hide my wolf and act wolfless. So he was going to use that fear of mine against me.
“Okay! You don’t need to threaten me. I will tell him,” I grunted, not meaning a single word I said to him. I began to walk back into the building, and he left to attend to the students who had finished their first round.
As I entered the principal’s office, I saw Lord Atwood sitting alone. He must have asked the principal to let us talk alone.
“I am so glad you forgave me,” Lord Atwood stood up to hold my hand and thank me.
“You don’t need to even talk about forgiveness. I understand the position you’re in, and yet you have come around to take
back, which means that you know how to give importance to those you call family,” I was being honest with him. He had stunned me with his affection and concern for me.
I don’t ever remember my own father being so generous to me.
“But I have one thing to ask you. Do you think my stepbrothers would be fine with me returning home?” I asked politely. I remember Nash was so nasty last time. If he sees me again, he will lose his mind, not to mention, he knows that I heard him talk about my breasts many times that night too. It’s going to be so awkward.
“You don’t worry about them. I have figured out the best way to ensure your security,” Dad’s smile said he really knew what he was talking about. So I let him be in charge and chose to leave in his car.
Thankfully, the perk of being the alpha king’s daughter was that I didn’t have to attend today’s exercise. Not like I craved to attend them anyway.
As I walked out of the building, I watched Ryker stand with the students for class. As his eyes wandered around, they laid upon me and his father. Lord Atwood didn’t notice, but I did. I watched Ryker narrow his eyes to grasp reality. He now knew that I had lied to him and that I was going with his dad.
As soon as I stepped into the car, I noticed a number popping up on my phone. It was Ryker calling me.
“Do you want me to take you to the hostel first so that you can get your stuff?” Dad asked, and I nodded meekly.
“Yeah, that will be a good idea,” I was super excited to return to

As Dad stared outside the window, I sneakily rolled the ring on my finger to speak to my wolf
Wow! We are going back’ she was as excited as I was.
We were best friends. I’ve never made any good friends because of trust issues, but when it came to Akira, I could trust her with all my heart. Same with her, she somehow always understood me and didn’t object to me hiding her behind the Hing
I just think I will need to say the right things to Ryker or else he will make sure he eats me alive, I sighed when recalling what happened on the school grounds today.
I was still not comfortable about the mate bond I had felt with him. It didn’t make sense either. Usually, we feel the mate on the full moon night only. So why the hell was I able to feel the mate bond with him? And why with the guy I was calling my stepbrother?
“What about the mate bond? What are we going to do?” I knew my wolf would ask me that question.
It wouldn’t be easy for her to stay close to him and avoid the mate bond
“Maybe it was a mistake. You see, it is not even a full moon’s night, I hated talking about that topic.
I wanted a family, and having to feel a mate bond with one of them would mean the entire relationship that I was trying to
build with them would go down the drain.
them
The worst part was that he was so s**y that the mate bond would make me act up and to others, it would seem odd that a stepsister is checking out her stepbrother.
I rested my head against the window and avoided ten more calls from Ryker.
He must have been losing his mind to keep calling me like that. Soon the hostel arrived, and I stepped out of the car to grab my luggage. I intended to speak to Natalya but only after I had collected my bags and left for the mansion.
“You are back early. Did you s**p school?” Mrs. Finlay yelled as I sprinted upstairs.
“No! I am leaving this time for good,” I yelled back and heard her grunt at me.
“You are not getting any more rooms in my building again,” she screamed bitterly, but I had already escaped to the top floor by then.
I didn’t want to argue with her. It’s not like she was doing me a favor. She had me pay double for a shared room.
Thankfully, I didn’t have to suffer because of her now. But as soon as I stepped inside the room, my worst nightmare sat on the bed with his legs stretched and crossed.
“Welcome back, sister, I knew I would find you here,” Ryker muttered, forcing a grin over his lips.
