143âMaking Ryker Jealous
Nora:
I drifted off to sleep after we finished. He wrapped his arms around me tightly for a few minutes
before gently releasing his hold.
I noticed his departure, but I was too tired and comfortable to bother seeking his closeness again.
Maybe he needed some space.
In the early hours of the morning, I woke up to the sensation of an empty bed beside me. As I
shifted and reached out, finding the bed deserted, I couldnât help but rub my eyes, breaking my
slumber.
âCain?â I called out, but he seemed to be absent from the bedroom. Hist usual bathroom was in the
studio, so I assumed he must have been there.
After waiting a bit longer, I came to the realization that he wasnât returning. I also knew that soon
everyone would wake up, making it difficult for me to sneak back to my bedroom unnoticed.
So, I rolled out of bed and got dressed. It was clear that these brothers were quite rough. My back
was aching, as was my vagina. Cain had been quite forceful and passionate last night. I should
have realized he was feeling particularly lustful.
Even the memory of his words made me giggle. Stepping out of the bedroom and hurrying back to
my room, I found the studio empty as
well.
That was unusual. He never left his studio unlocked like that.
Thankfully, he had closed the bedroom door before leaving. Not that
143âMaking Pyker Jealous
anyone would wander into his studio, but still, even a one percent. chance could be risky for us.
As time passed and he remained elusive, I dashed out and made it back. to my room just in time. I
took a quick shower, got ready for school, and as I was leaving my room, I noticed some messages
on my phone from Ryker.
I rolled my eyes, knowing I would lash out at him the moment we talked, but his message already
left me in shock.
R: You are going to tell Brody today that you are severing all the contacts with him.
I frowned.
ing to take
R: I am going to take you under my team today.
I hissed under my breath, seething with anger at the fact that instead of apologizing, he was still
making demands?
I began to angrily type a message for him, something I wouldnât have dared to say to his face.
Me: After how you humiliated me and behaved with me last night, you seriously think you get to
make demands?
Me: And donât even try to change my teams, I wonât be in your team.
I hissed, shaking my head. But little did I know, he was sitting with his phone in his hands. His
response came pretty quickly.
R: You are really making me wonder.
I narrowed my eyes and kept staring at the screen. He typed for some time but then never sent it. I
didnât bother asking again because I was
143âMaking Ryker Jealous.
running late for school.
I left the room to join everyone at the dinner table, but there was one person missing.
Cain!
âGood morning,â I greeted, earning a smile from Lord Atwood.
âHow are you now?â Nash asked curiously. I hadnât seen him since the whole trip.
âI am good now. How are you? How is your mission going?â I asked. excitedly, and he gave me a
pleasant head nod to indicate everything was going fine.
While I communicated with Nash, I tried to avoid looking Rykerâs way because he was just staring at
me with so much anger in his eyes that it made me uncomfortable.
âWhere is Cain?â Silas inquired, who I had been completely avoiding ever since the party.
âI donât know. I was told by the guards that he left in the early morning with alcohol,â Lord Atwood
seemed disappointed when delivering the
news.
âIs he crazy or what? We have backâtoâback meetings today, and he planned an alcohol trip for
himself?â Nashâs mood changed almost instantly.
The two would butt heads quite often, but it was indeed concerning what I was hearing. He was fine
last night, so what the hell happened to him?
âIt is okay. He will return. He is a responsible one,â Lord Atwood

uttered, trying to diffuse the situation, but the head shake from Nash was a sign that he wasnât
satisfied.
âNora! Ryker will drop you to school. But try to come straight back home today. There have been
some rumors about some unusual activity in the pack. So unless it is entirely safe, it has been
recommended that the students come home directly and with some responsible adult,â Lord Atwood
delivered the news that I would have to face Ryker now, who seemed to have been sitting all set for
that moment.
I couldnât even ask for someone else to drop me. Nash was busy worrying about Cain, and Silas
was another forbidden story. I did not plan to ever ask for his help again.
So all I was left with was to give Lord Atwood a head nod.
However, the minute I had grabbed my belongings and left for the main exit, I watched a car that I
recognized to be Brodyâs.
âHey! Good morning,â he came out with a bright smile on his lips.
I felt bad for him because he had no clue what happened to the gift he had brought for me
yesterday.
Then I remembered what Cain had said. He was okay with my friendship with Brody and even
believed me. So why was Ryker, the one who didnât even want to talk about us unless I had listened
to all his demands, making rules about who I should and shouldnât meet?
âHello, what are you doing here so early in the morning?â I approached him, looking around and
finding Rykerâs bike empty. He was not around, which is why I got to even speak to Brody.
âI heard about the whole danger thing and I wondered how amazing it would be to drop you off to
school myself today. What do you say?â he
143âMaking Ryker Jealous
questioned, a smile never leaving his lips.
I stayed silent, watching him and then at Ryker, who was just coming out of the mansion when he
spotted us together.
Part of me wanted Ryker to feel comfortable, but the other part wanted him to understand that he
cannot just expect so much from me when he doesnât even want to go official with me.
So I did what I thought was the best decision in the moment.
âSure. I would like to go with you.â
