I didn’t understand why she was being so pleasant to him until I noticed her biting her lip. Oh! She had a crush on him. It reminded me of my own days when I used to be infatuated with the brothers. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“I’m kind of in the middle of a conversation here,” Silas said bluntly, hoping she would take the hint. Instead, she pouted and placed her hands on her hips.

“No, no, no! I wouldn’t want you to waste your time,” she wagged her finger at him, making me laugh at her foolishness. She turned to me, giving me a deadly glare, but then remembered that I was supposed to be the Luna of the pack for now.

“Carla! If you really want to help, go inside and grab some of the trays from the maids. They’ve been working since morning, and you’re just arriving now?” Every word of mine elicited a reaction from her. She looked shocked, then offended, and finally awkwardly nodded, recalling Brody’s lesson for the day.

Gosh, it was so much fun.

As Carla walked away, I noticed Nash standing at a distance.

“As for the comment I made to your father about being afraid of—” I fell silent when I saw Nash approach us. I didn’t feel like explaining anything anymore. In fact, I shouldn’t be explaining anything to my mate, Silas, who had left me like a coward after mating with me.

Everyone had begun eating, but I could sense the awkwardness in the air.

I was getting anxious, wanting to leave this place so I wouldn’t waste time and could meet up with my children.

“By the way, I heard you guys are leaving in an hour or so?” Brody asked the brothers with minimal excitement. I nodded my head rather visibly, excited.

“Why, didn’t you know? I heard you told the council that you were uncomfortable with our presence,” Nash said, not holding back and speaking openly.

I found it amusing when Brody was called out for his games.

“I didn’t know you’d be asked to leave so soon,” Brody now had to come up with a lie, with all eyes on him. It was quite a sight— caught red–handed talking trash about his guests.

“Yeah, right,” Ryker hissed, and Brody grunted in response.

“And we would like to invite you and your beautiful Luna, Nora, to our pack for dinner, as we couldn’t congratulate you on your wedding before,” Lord Atwood said, shaking me in my seat with his invitation.

My fingers tightened around the fork I was holding. I had already decided that I’d never return there.

“Oh, I wish we could come. But we’re sort of busy these days,” Brody said, clearly not wanting to miss a single day of arena and earning money.

“I’m sure you can manage some time. It is the Alpha Kings‘ wish,” Lord Atwood said, cleverly using his son’s title to make his point.

We were left with no option but to nod in agreement.
