278–Treating Me With Care

Nora:

I didn’t want to stay here any longer and eavesdrop, but unfortunately, Rollo suddenly turned to the side and

acknowledged my presence, forcing me to step forward and make myself known.

“Is there a problem because of me?” The moment my voice echoed through the empty hall, Brody turned to look at me.

“No! Everything is fine,” he instantly approached me, causing Rollo to roll his eyes.

To be honest, he looked pretty hostile. The way he kept scanning me from head to toe was also unsettling.

“The pack members don’t like you,” he spoke confidently from behind Brody, who turned around and looked at him in disbelief.

“Rollo!” Brody yelled with a hint of disappointment.

“What? I’m just telling her because if somebody gives her attitude, she should know why,” Rollo replied, eerily confident and honest, even when standing before his alpha.

“Thank you for your honesty. Now, let me have a conversation with her,” Brody gestured for him to leave, and the big guy walked away. He was so tall and broad too.

“What’s going on? Why don’t they like me?” I inquired of Brody, who was scratching his forehead and sighing non–stop.

“They know you as Ryker’s stepsister. And you know what went down in this pack when Ryker was here the last time,” he

finished, not even looking my way

Lunderstood now why they must hate me. In their minds, Ryker was guilty of killing the Beta’s daughter–Brody’s fated mate. Of course, they weren’t happy to have me here. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“It’s alright. I understand their concern. And I’m sure with time they’ll realize I’m not here to upset anyone,” giving Brody a close–lipped smile, I walked back upstairs to change and take a shower.

Entering the bathroom felt so awkward. This place didn’t feel like home.

‘Okay! Please don’t be mad at me,‘ I finally let her out, twisting the ring on my finger, but all I heard from her was silence.

‘Akira! I’m sorry,‘ I said, hoping she would talk this time. But she was oddly silent, something she had never done before.

I had taken a shower, put on a brown dress, braided my hair from the sides with some loose strands, and left the rest to dance freely on my back and shoulders. All the while, I was calling out for her and waiting for her response. But Akira never spoke to me again. She had gone silent as if she never existed, and that worried me. Even though she was so quiet, I had to adjust the ring on my finger because I feared she might jump out during dinner and start the transition.

“All ready?” Brody peeked his head inside with a smile on his lips. I gave him a nod, and he stepped inside.

“Wow! It’s so unfair for me to have such a gorgeous Luna and

not be able to flirt with her,” he joked as he watched me apply lip balm. I gave him a playful eye roll. Even though I was so

stressed and worried about nearly everything going wrong in my life, I managed to look happy with him.

He was doing so much that if I kept complaining about being here, he would think I hated it.

“Here! Your new cellphone, and this has all the contact numbers of the—Red Storm Pack, including your stepfather and stepbrothers,” he handed me a diary and then a phone.

“Thank you so much, Brody. You have no idea how much this means to me,” I quickly accepted the phone, and the diary was going to come in handy. I wanted to talk to Lord Atwood and apologize to

him if I had caused him any grief.

“Now! Shall we go attend dinner? The pack members are waiting,” he watched me put the diary down with great care because my stepbrothers‘ numbers were in it.

I then straightened my back, took the phone out of the box, and smiled at him, “Thank you.”

With that, I got on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek.

“Ah! It was worth it,” he smiled, gently touching his cheek.

He was so sweet and innocent. I felt bad that he had to do so much to get my attention, yet I wasn’t entirely his.

“Let’s go,” now that I had my phone and could contact the brothers, I wrapped my arm around his and walked out of the room with him.
