263–Getting Kicked Out
Nora:
“I have come to realize that Ryker is not someone I would feel safe around until he is fully checked and under control,” I muttered, feigning concern.
“Nora! He showed his wolf for you, and you’re saying-” Nash clenched his jaw, but Lord Atwood silenced him with a hand gesture.
“Let her finish.”
“I think until he calms down, I will stay at the apartment,” I murmured. I knew the soothing therapy would take a week. I can survive in the apartment for that time.
“Okay! You should go and stay there,” Lord Atwood didn’t ask me any more questions. I wanted this conversation to end quickly, but it passed so rapidly that I began to wonder if this was what Lord Atwood wanted all along.
He wanted me gone. But Nash looked so hurt by my words. As I was walking back upstairs, I gestured to Daphne to play her part. She nodded and then hurried downstairs.
“Good news, we have recovered the deleted footage-” I heard some cheers from downstairs while I went to my room to pack for the week. When I return after this week, I will fix everything.
“Are you sure, Nora? I mean-” Brody asked as he sat on the bed, watching me collect my clothes and shove them into a bag.

“I know what I’m doing. I have to stay away for a week, and Lord Atwood seemed so pleased with the idea,” I couldn’t even finish my sentence.
“But why did you say all those things to him? You hurt his feelings. when you spoke about his son like that,” Brody watched my face intently. I noticed tears in his eyes whenever I broke down.
“I had to. They’ve been saying whatever was on their minds. Couldn’t I speak up just once? All they expected from me was constant praise,” I mumbled, feeling like I was dying inside.
“Relax! Calm down. We’ll go to my place and stay there for the whole week. Then you can come back when things have settled down a bit,” he got up to help me with the packing.
“You’re right, that’s the plan. Hopefully, by the time I return, things will be better,” my voice was meek that day.
I couldn’t even lift my gaze from the ground.
That’s when a knock on the door caught our attention, and we turned to see who had arrived. It was Lord Atwood with Yuki behind him.
“Your Highness,” I didn’t even want to show respect to that elder, but I had to since his anger towards me could ruin my life.
“We’ve come to discuss some matters,” Yuki took the lead while Lord Atwood stood beside him with his arms folded over his chest.
“Yes?” I asked.
Lord Atwood didn’t even glance our way.
L you! Tuk asked, though
“I do. I love her desperately,” Brody was always quick to express his feelings for me, unlike my own mates, who had to stay silent because of so many forbidden ties.
“Then why are you taking her to your apartment and not your pack?” The moment he asked that question, I raised my head and watched Lord Atwood, hoping he would look me in the eye.
“Because I’m only dating her. She has a family and school here,” Brody quickly explained, knowing I wasn’t ready to leave my pack just yet.
It was too soon.
My name had been cleared from Mia’s case, so why were they talking about shifting packs again?
“Hmm! But I guess it will be for the best if you take her with you. Your pack has schools, right?” Yuki continued, and this time, I decided to step forward and speak for myself.
“But I want to stay here with my family. I don’t want to go yet. I’m only nineteen and-” I started rambling because I could tell Lord Atwood was siding with this idea, as he hadn’t protested against it so far.
“You will not address me, and neither will we talk. I’m speaking to an alpha, who, unlike you, wouldn’t lie to everyone,” Yuki pointed his finger at me, and I realized I was challenging the wrong person.
So I changed my approach and turned to Lord Atwood, who instantly stepped back just to show me that he was no longer on my side.
“Dad! You don’t want me to leave this pack, do you?” I asked, smiling
