10-Why Am I Under Him In Bed?

Nora:

We both froze, our bodies connecting. He raised his head, and our eyes locked. No expressions

adorned us face until he cringed and pushed himself up.

“Ew! Ew! Ew!” he hissed, shuddering and stepping away from

me.

“Why the heck would you drop under me?” he yelled, making me blink hard to ensure I heard him

correctly. Was he accusing me?

“Oh, I’m sorry I wasn’t watching while threatening my

stepsister.” Despite my attempts to avoid irking them with my raw mannerisms, I ended up raising

my voice and retorting to his complaints.

He placed his hands on his waist and narrowed his eyes at me.

“Do you even know what’s going on outside?” He quickly. changed the subject, and I didn’t insist on

sticking to the subject of inappropriation either.

It made me feel weird.

“We are under attack,” I answered.

“Not just any attack. These monsters come from everywhere to collect weak and pathetic Omegas.

And I can make a wild guess and say they came here for you today. Since you are the only -weak

and pathetic she-wolf who came into our lives to remind

us why aur mother died in the first place/ His yelling turned Intense, and I watched his eyes shining

from behind his glasses.

He was so angry that he was tearing up now. i realized why it was so hard for him to accept me as

his stepsister

We not my fault that my mother and your father fell in love, 1 whispered, honestly not knowing how

else show that i was Indeed not proud of that narrative

“Fell in love? They didn’t just fall in love. They committed adultery and betrayed their fated mates.

We shouldn’t have to Take care of you, Nora. You should not be here” Silas, who hadn’t spoken to

me since my arrival, was pouring his heart out and directly letting me know that was not welcomed

here.

“I wish I could tell you that I will leave, but I cannot. Now that you told me these monsters are

coming after Omegas, I can’t even move back to the mountains,” I uttered with my head. down. It

struck me why there used to be so many guards outside the hostel where I had been living before.

But since the mountains had so many other scents, the monsters never showed up. Here, everyone

was powerful, so an Omega’s scent would be easily distinguished.

“Really!” Silas stretched his neck, then I’ll make sure you beg my dad to let you walk out of here.”

With that threat, he took a step back and walked out of the bedroom. However, the fog had lifted

already, and the storm had calmed down.

I waited only for a few minutes before stepping out of the mansion to find the brothers in the living

room with their father, who seemed worried.

esting in front of his sons, who were seated

on the touch and sofas around. Dad watched with a sad face and gestured for me to sit down.

2008 should call you in for this meeting, there was a hint of sadness in his face, almost like he was

quilly

you going to ask me to leave?” It struck me that maybe the morses coming so close to the mansion

that had pack’s weapons and important documents in the basement had upset

“No Why would ask you to leave? However, Dad’s response was quick as he shook his head and

came closer.

“You are my daughter.” As he said that and held my hand, I noticed the brothers’ reactions with

either an eye roll or shaking of heads.

Tim just sorry that now you have to be on your toes forever,” he continued, making me sit on the

couch.

Today what happened is a clear hint that the monsters had smelled her existence. They will come

after her to take her away from us. Now it’s up to her brothers to keep her safe and make sure no

harm comes her way.” Dad’s words didn’t fall on the right audience’s ears.

Nash hunched over, placing his elbows on his thighs and grunted, almost like laughing at his father

sarcastically.

“I didn’t say something funny,” Dad retorted.

“Oh! You didn’t? I thought you had finally decided to pursue your career as a stand-up comedian,”

Ryker was the one who spoke

on behalf of his brother. Neither of them looked pleased with their dad asking them to take care of

me.

“It will be funny when I take the crowns from you boys and hand them over to some other Alphas. I’ll

see who will have the big laugh then,” Lord Atwood’s threat tightened Nash’s back. He leaned back,

placing one leg over the other, staring at his father before glancing my way.

Cain, on the other hand, sat on a sofa alone, silent, leaning to the side with his thumb resting

against his cheek and his index finger on his temple. His deep, crazy gaze hadn’t moved from

me.

“And what do you expect us to do when we are all out for our regular routines? I hope you’re not

asking one of us to stay behind with her,” Silas cleared his throat, yet his voice came out heavy and

rough. One would think he’d be gentle with the glasses and fuller lips, but he radiated the darkest

energy to me due to his silence and abrupt raising of voice.

“Of course not,” Lord Atwood answered. The brothers sighed, but then their father added sneakily,

“you will have to take her with you.”

The brothers shared a glance before staring at their father.

“I can’t take her to my boxing matches with rogue prisoners,” Nash complained.

“What is she gonna do sitting among my patients?” Silas added.

“I don’t think she’ll be safe at the pack’s border,” said the border patrol officer Ryker.

“I don’t even go outside. I paint in my studio, and you know what happens when a she-wolf steps

into my studio!” Cain’s

statement won. Everyone looked at him, including Nash, who was still hurt at the fact that Cain

didn’t even spare his girlfriend.

“Well, then you’ll have to make sure you don’t ask your sister to follow the s**d rules of your studio,

dad grunted at Cain before looking at Nash. “She can cheer for you.”

Nash groaned, sighing and throwing his hands in the air at the burden being tossed on his

shoulders.

“As for you, help her with her wolf, dad turned to Silas, and my body stiffened. I wouldn’t want a wolf

healer so crazy.

“And you!” Dad then asked Ryker, who tilted his head to see what his father had come up with, “you

will be helping her learn to fight and defend herself.”

And that is how I was going to get in trouble.
