Tasting 101

Nora:

“Wait, what? Are you sure? Why would the alpha king come to ask about her?” April took over,

laughing hysterically.

“I don’t know. He even came yesterday and then in the morning, worriedly asking about her,” the old

lady uttered, and my jaw clenched.

“Okay, thank you so much,” I grabbed April’s hand and pulled her away from the old lady. Before we

could step out of the hostel, April resisted, and we stood staring at each other.

“Why would Ryker come to see her?” April asked me as if I would know.

“I don’t know,” I shook my head, zoning out.

“She must have been mistaken. What connection could they possibly have?” April let out a laugh,

still in disbelief.

But I started to have thoughts. A connection, she said.

There could be a connection between them. Natalya liked someone

who was my mate, and Ryker hated me spending time with someone Natalya liked.

Could it be?

Could they be planning something?

“Let’s go, Brody is blowing up my phone,” April, who was so upbeat just a few minutes ago,

sounded low in energy.

I gave her a head nod and followed her to the out where Brody stood with his car, wearing a brown

shirt.

He smiled at our sight, but his expression changed when watching our faces. We were both low in

energy.

It was like we were both in shock.

Ever since Ryker was kicked out, he didn’t try to come see me. He had his phone, but he didn’t

even send me an apology yet he was busy looking for Natalya, who had also gone missing on me.

My heart was hurting now.

“Nora, he will drop you home. I need to go home, I hope you don’t mind,” April pointed at Brody,

who frowned at her.

“You said we were going to talk about some important stuff,” Brody made the hand gesture of quiet,

but April didn’t seem interested at all as she walked past him to her car.

“I just need some moment with myself. Nora! Do you allow me to leave? Will you be okay?” she

ignored, barely audible.

Wow! She was disappointed in Ryker. Then imagine how I must be feeling.

“Oh no! She wouldn’t be playing with me. I am going to eat her alive,” Brody hissed at her,

dismissing her with a hand gesture before running to the other side of the car to open the door for

me.

“I will be fine. Please drive carefully,” I watched April nod to my statement and slide inside the car.

She stood frozen behind the wheel.

I am sure she had never liked Natalya, and to find Ryker paying

attention to her left her in shock. I wanted answers too, but I had hoped Ryker to be the one to

contact me first.

“Are you okay?” once it was only Brody and I and he hit the road, Brody began to adjust in his seat

to start a conversation with me.

“I am fine. I just don’t know where Natalya went,” I uttered, taking deep breaths to keep myself

calm.

“She must be at the mountains with that family member of hers. Why?” Brody questioned, his eyes

on the road.

“Why didn’t she tell me before leaving? We are friends. She even stayed in my mansion with me.

And you know what?” I turned in my seat to face him.

“No! Please tell me,” he asked in a playful tone.

“She hadn’t responded to any of my calls either,” I stopped, and he gasped.

“That bitch!” the way he said it froze me first before I burst into laughter.

“What? I am serious. She is so damn lucky that Nora is calling her and she is not returning her

calls? What a loser. I would have left everything for that call,” he was in a playful mood until he said

that last sentence.

“I really would have loved to get a call from you. But you just go missing after our meetings,” the

little hint of disappointment in his voice matched mine.

I didn’t know there was someone waiting for me to contact him just like I had been waiting for Cain

or Ryker to contact me.

“I didn’t know you wanted to be contacted,” I stated awkwardly.

“Really? I didn’t give obvious signs?” he frowned to himself, making me laugh again. At least he

was able to make me smile.

We drove home, but neither of us got out. He parked the car outside. the mansion, and we stayed

leaning back against our seats.

“You are so beautiful,” his comment came out of the blue. Then I realized, as we sat there, lost in

our own thoughts, I was thinking about Cain, Natalya, and Ryker while he was just staring at my

face with so much adoration.

“Thank you!” I shyly looked down, trying to find enthusiasm in anything.

“I want to take you out on a date,” he said, and my body shuddered. I sat up, expressing extreme

shock, and that too, very visibly.

“You want to what?” I asked in bewilderment.

“I want to date you or at least take you out on a date,” he insisted, looking so handsome.

I sat there without any response. Not because I didn’t think he was cute; he was hot. But I had two

mates who I had tangled myself with.

“Umm! Never mind. Whenever you are ready!” he said as I awkwardly stared at his face.

“No! That’s not it. Can you please give me some time? I am worried sick about Natalaya going

missing on me. So once I have answers for her disappearance, I will be able to focus on my life

too,” I said as I didn’t want to lose any chance with Brody because of my stepbrothers, who didn’t

even seem to care about me unless it was something sexual they wanted from me.

“That’s absolutely fine. If you want, I can help you with anything you need,” he said, and I nodded

my head happily. Having a good friend on. my side was all I wanted. I couldn’t rely on April, but I

could on Brody.

“Goodnight!” I gave him a straight–lipped smile, and before I knew it, he leaned over me and

planted a kiss on my cheek. I didn’t pull away because his affection made me feel better. And I was

single.

“Goodnight,” he said. His lips were so soft when they touched my cheek. I got out of the car, and

the minute I raised my head, I watched Cain stare at us through the balcony of his studio.

Oh no! There stood a problem and awaited another argument.
