Tasting 14

14-Basically, Kicked Out Of The Pack Mansion.

Nora:

I found myself sleeping with my head resting against the wall eventually. It wasn’t easy for me to

stay awake and hear all those things said about me by the council and everyone in hushed tones.

Some claimed Lord Atwood was a fool to give a lowlife like me a chance to live a life of respect

when I didn’t even value such a huge family. Some even said I was just using my young body to

maybe entice the lord and eventually make him accept me as his mate.

Meanwhile, Nash made sure to walk around and capture every single word said by everyone.

Obviously, none of them said it in front of Lord Atwood, but I had already lost the place I wanted to

build–a place of a stepsister and a stepdaughter. I wanted a family that would care for me and

protect me from any harm coming my way.

So, the best option left was to just fall asleep. When I woke up, daylight was streaming in. I got up,

feeling my body stiff and hard to move a muscle. I attempted to open the door and found it

unlocked. Sometime after returning to the mansion, the brothers had unlocked my door. I walked

outside, sneezing and looking for my phone, which was placed on the bed and had run out of

battery. Dropping my body on the bed, I just stared at the ceiling, knowing I was going to leave this

place today.

Getting dressed for the day was challenging. There was no

school today, so I didn’t leave the bedroom early. After all, I had -to gather as much strength as I

could to face Lord Atwood

guys? Next thing you know, she will say we stole her speech,” Ryker dramatically dropped his fork

onto his plate and shook his head in disbelief.

“But you did,” as I raised my voice, I received threatening glares from the brothers.

“Last night was very important. I asked the council and the alphas from faraway packs to postpone

their busy schedules and come meet my stepdaughter. Do you have any idea how I felt when you

didn’t show up? I know they must have been laughing at me, calling me s**d for believing someone

else’s daughter would see me as her father,” I could tell he didn’t expect those words to slip out, as

he quickly bit his tongue.

“Hmm! Then I guess I have no reason to stay here,” not wanting to come between them anymore, I

gave up too easily. The look of excitement on the brothers’ faces and the shock on Lord Atwood’s

face was discouraging. I wanted to stay here more than ever, but I realized that I couldn’t fight these

brothers no matter what I did. They would make my already hellish life an even worse hell for me.

“What? But I welcomed you here as my stepdaughter,” Lord Atwood began to tear up. All that for

someone he barely knew?

“Dad, let her be. You have us,” Cain quickly placed his hand on his father’s shoulder to remind him

he wouldn’t be alone if I leave.

“Actually, you just said you shouldn’t expect anything from a girl who isn’t your biological daughter” I

reminded Lord Atwood, feeling guilty for doing that to him, but I had to find a reason to leave.

“But–,” Lord Atwood attempted to get up when Ryker elbowed Silas to comfort their father. Silas,

seemingly indifferent with not expression on his face, got up from his seat along with the others and

reached their father.

“Dad! We cannot force someone to be a part of our family, can we?” Silas mumbled in his heavy

and raw voice, showing no expressions even when he was trying hard to look worried for his father.

He just didn’t care at all.

“I will go pack my belongings and leave,” I uttered with a heavy. heart and turned around to storm

back into the mansion. I was on the verge of tears; to have found a home and then lose it. made me

realize I was the unluckiest girl ever. I could never belong to a family. Maybe I was the problem.

After packing my bags, I sat on the bed for a few minutes to catch my breath. It was a weekend, so

by Monday, I would be going to school to face the bullying. Worse, if anyone found out that I had

been welcomed into the royal family and then kicked out. The brothers had taken their father for a

walk, apparently to shield him from watching me go and getting hurt.

I was left at the mercy of a cab, which I took to return to the mountains and live in the hostel for

orphan girls.
