Ryker:

“But what about her husband? How are we going to get rid of him?” Thankfully, Silas was on my side. We were already making plans for the worst case scenario. The best case was that she was only pretending but if she was indeed in love with Brody, I was ready to ruin her relationship so get her back.

“I say we challenge him to a battle and kill him on the ground,” Nash was really hyping up, and I didn’t blame him. Watching Nora with anyone else was not easy for us, especially when she was mated to us.

I turned my gaze to Cain, who looked equally upset and disturbed. I remembered Nora had mentioned feeling a mate bond with Nash as well. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

My eyes then shifted to Silas, and I felt a little lost. Why would she feel a mate bond with three of her stepbrothers? What made the Moon Goddess spare Silas? Was he not lucky like the rest of us to have her as his fated mate?

‘It’s not like she gave her heart to us either,‘ my wolf reminded me, and I grunted in response.

“We should have killed him way before,” Silas groaned under his breath, “look how he put her in the arena with a beast. We should put him with a beast too. I am sure he wouldn’t even be able to fight them.”

“That would be too obvious. If she truly loves him as much as she claims, she would never forgive us for her husband’s murder and might even hate us,” Cain said, trying to make us understand how risky it could be if we didn’t handle this matter carefully.

“Then what can we do?” Silas sighed.

“I say we observe everything first. Brody is already one step out of her life. He has married another woman, an Alpha’s daughter,” I stroked my chin as I reviewed the information I had gathered on Janet. The moment I saw her, I ordered my warriors to get as much information on her as possible. I saw a potential weapon that I could use against Brody.

“Ryker is right. All we need to do is make Brody mess up,” Cain agreed.

“But how are we going to do that? Did you check the message from the council?” Nash pulled out his phone, looking troubled as he showed us the screen.

I hadn’t checked anything. My mind had been clouded ever since I came here and saw Nora with Brody. I had stopped feeling better and was back in a dark place.

“What does it say?” Cain asked Nash.

“Yuki has requested us to return. He and the others think that us being in Brody’s pack might trigger Brody’s trauma. Since-” Nash hesitated, but I knew what this was all about.

“That I killed Christina,” I nodded, understanding that Brody must have reached out to the council.

“They also think we shouldn’t stay in this pack and that the pack members are not very fond of us,” Nash continued, and we all exchanged uneasy glances. That was odd. There was no way the council was suddenly taking this matter so seriously. They had previously told Brody not to mention Christina and act as if the trauma would worsen if we remained in his pack.

“Why do they care suddenly?” Silas asked, getting off the couch. He stopped abruptly and looked at us. “Oh shit. His pack’s reputation is

improving.”

So that was why the council was suddenly so concerned about Brody’s mental health.

“If the pack starts thriving and their warriors are strong enough to fight the mutants, Brody could order them into the mountains to gather precious herbs as well,” Cain explained how Brody’s rich land could be so beneficial for him. It hadn’t been the case before, but suddenly, he was able to train his warriors to go into the mountains and catch the mutants. They must be incredibly powerful to do so.

“And somehow, he’s able to train everyone. Look how he controlled Nora‘ s wolf. Brody is up to something. Do you think he got his hands on some magic lamp or something?” Cain inquired, and Nash grunted angrily.

“How the heck can he be so good at everything now?” Silas was also disturbed. Brody was able to challenge our abilities so easily. The training, the fighting, the convincing of wolves, and even controlling them–he was outsmarting us.

“He has a beautiful mate. Of course, he’s in a better mental place now,” Cain shook his head and grunted again.

“But what about the council? They want us to return,” Silas hissed under his breath.

“We will need to find a way,” I squeezed my eyes shut, determined to do whatever it took to break Brody and Nora’s relationship.
