37–Stop Staring At My Breasts

Nora:

I was in my room after that, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t confront Nash for his cruel plans. ‘I’m

glad I listened to you,‘ I twirled my ring and told Akira, who had been the reason I had taken care of

the baby last night.

Flashback:

‘Goodnight,‘ I bid Akira, attempting to rest when she cleared her throat. That’s why I didn’t adjust my

ring, sensing she had something to say.

‘I don’t know. I just feel like we’re making a mistake. Why would Nash let you keep the baby?’ She

was probably right, but maybe he was just concerned because it was only a baby. If he told anyone,

the baby would be in danger at the hands of the pack members.

‘Hmm,‘ I sat up in bed and gazed at the closet where the baby was sleeping and cooing. I

understood he was a monster’s baby, but he was just a baby.

‘So what do you think we should do?‘ I inquired, biting my nails anxiously.

‘I think we should leave this baby back in the woods so that his mother comes and collects him,‘ she

suggested.

‘Are you sure he will be safe in the woods?’ I worried about what would become of the baby if I left

him all alone in the woods.

‘We need to do that because if he is caught in the same room as ours,

we will both be punished,’ she was right. I nodded my head and got off the bed to grab an oversized

gray sweater, wearing only shorts and sneakers. I carried the baby in my arms and started climbing

out of the window.

With Akira’s help, I didn’t fear falling or anything. She basically assisted us in climbing down easily.

It wasn’t hard for me to jump off the walls of the mansion and head for the woods.

Even though I had only been staying here for a few days, I knew where the guards were. The night

was so cold that my legs were constantly getting covered in goosebumps. The darkness around me

made me hold onto the baby even tighter and closer to my chest. I was worried somebody might

see us. However, when I crossed the road and reached the woods, I began to relax a little. I headed

for the woods, and once deep into the woods, I laid down the baby and stepped back.

“I’m so sorry for leaving you here, but your scent will lead your mother to you,” I mumbled, watching

the baby having no idea what was happening around him.

“I wish I could keep you for long,” I just felt weird that some creatures were extremely hated upon.

But then again, these monsters were called monsters for a reason. They have been killing the

werewolves for some time now. I stepped away as he kept sleeping in the blanket made from my

blue sweater.

My heart was burdened with the sadness of leaving him sleeping and clueless. But I knew from

Nash that once the baby was out, his mother would sniff him out easily.

I then returned home and slept uncomfortably, waking up for school in the morning.

“I can’t believe Nash did that. When are these brothers ever going to be nicer to me?” I pouted,

sitting on the bed and staring at the door, waiting for the omega to come collect me for dinner.

And that’s exactly what happened when maid Galinda walked inside with a smile on her lips, “Lord

Atwood is waiting for you at the dinner table.”

She walked away, and I leaped out of bed to follow her. The family seemed to be enjoying dinner in

the garden. The brothers exchanged glances and then rolled their eyes, while Lord Atwood smiled

at me.

“I hope you’re not upset about today,” Lord Atwood uttered, and I took a seat right next to him, with

Nash on my left side and Dad on my right.

“I’m not. I’m glad everyone took it seriously. There’s nothing more important than the security of the

pack,” I smiled, noticing how proud Lord Atwood looked at my words.

“Look, that’s how a true Luna acts,” he chuckled happily. The title of Luna was bestowed upon me

by my stepfather’s side, and it was indeed a huge responsibility because whoever is my mate will

inherit the title of the Alpha and will be given a pack where we would rule. I just don’t know why, but

Lord Atwood was too generous to me.

“Right!” Nash straightened his back as he scoffed and stretched his arm out to grab the spoon to fill

the pasta when I snatched the spoon before him and started filling my plate very slowly.

I watched the others stare at me, not liking my behavior either.

“Can you hurry up?” Nash muttered, trying to conceal his voice from his father, who was now busy

talking with Alpha Cain over the pack’s business.

“Why? Do you have another dirty plan against your sister?” I taunted, dropping the spoon on his

plate after licking it entirely.

He grimaced and angrily grabbed a napkin to clean the spoon.

“I think that will do,” I heard Cain’s voice, and when I turned to look at him, I saw him briefly

watching me and Nash while talking to his father.

His eyes made me uncomfortable, as his gaze was very specific and mesmerizing.

“I will do my full research to find out who stole that monster baby,” Cain’s words fell into my ears,

and I lifted my head again, this time frowning.

“Because there’s no way a monster sneaked back into the warriors‘ camp to reclaim her baby

without causing any noise or commotion,” as he continued, I felt my heart flip inside my chest.

So far, I had thought Nash only told on me, but now I was even more confused because from their

conversation, I understood that they found a monster’s baby, and then somebody stole that baby

from under their noses and left him in my room, and then Nash told on me.

Who would put the baby in my bedroom and why mine only? Could it be Nash’s doing? I suddenly

turned to stare at Nash, who paused eating and raised his brow at me.

“What happened now?” he grunted, shaking his head and continuing to eat. I sighed and looked

away but the unease stayed for the rest of the dinner. I couldn’t help but wonder if this whole thing

was orchestrated just to get me kicked out? As the dinner ended, I got out of my seat to follow my

target.

My target was Nash, so I sped, ignoring everyone to make sure I caught up with him before he

disappeared into his bedroom. However, he was already in his room on the third floor and was

about to close the door when I placed my hand on the door and slid inside.

He was taken aback and stepped away from the door in shock. I locked the door and turned to face

him, my back against the door. He seemed like he was frozen as he watched me raise my brow.

“What the f**k do you want?” he uttered under his clenched jaw, his eyes on none other than me,

and that’s when it took me a minute to understand, but his eyes landed on my breasts before he

looked away.
