Silas:

“Okay, where are you?” Ryker asked me on the phone. I had left home hours after Nora had

departed.

My brothers and I planned to visit the Silver Jaw Pack and ask Rollo for his sister’s hand in

marriage. Of course, I wouldn’t go through with it.

If they had played Nora, I felt no shame in playing them back.

She was an innocent young woman who had endured so much pain because of us. Brody must

have had something on her to make her not even complain.

“I am entering the border. I’ll let you know when I meet Nora,” I said, aware that my brothers were

worried about the whole situation with Nora.

Ever since Brody took her away again, my brothers and I had been restless. Even my father agreed

that I should go check on her. Well, he didn’t know I was also going to get engaged to Clara, but

only to break it

off later.

“Okay, make sure you snoop around and focus on gathering information from Clara,” Ryker

instructed me, and I nodded as if my brother could see me through the screen.

After I spoke to him and hung up, I watched the mansion come into view. I felt uneasy seeing that

building again.

“This is where our mate lives,” Laso muttered.

“And this is where

guilt wash over me.

“I don’t want to discuss it because I know it will tear our hearts open, but I have to. Nora must have

felt it and is hurt by what we can’t even talk about,” Laso explained, indicating he was going to bring

up a distant and painful memory. “Can you imagine how she must have felt when she woke up and

found us gone? She must have thought we used her and then discarded her.”

I groaned inwardly, feeling a pain I couldn’t articulate.

“I heard she contacted Ryker, but April had his phone. In fact, the girls had our phones because we

couldn’t secure them. They had Cain, Ryker, and Nash’s phones,” I remembered my brothers

discussing wanting to get the old chat back in their hands. They wanted to see how much damage

the girls had caused.

“Yeah, well, I just hope this journey can end this misery. I want our mate with us, Silas. Did you not

see how angry she looked last time we said goodbye? She opened up to everyone else except us,”

Laso had noticed the disdain in Nora’s eyes.

She was now very open in expressing her emotions. She didn’t fake much even when she thought

she could.

“True, but we are doing this for her. Besides, it means she is jealous of seeing us with someone

else,” I told myself to feel better.

I mean, I was going to feel better very soon because I would see her again.

I arrived at the parking lot and got out, finding no one around.

“Where is your alpha?” I asked the warrior taking a patrol.

“I saw him heading toward his royal beta’s house for some urgent meeting,” the warrior responded,

and I nodded my head.

“And where is Clara? The royal beta’s sister?” I inquired again, looking

around at the distant mountains.

There were growls like nothing I had ever heard before. I bet it was from all the killings of the

mutants. We had warned Brody to stay away from the mountains, yet he decided to play this

dangerous game and threw Nora into the mix as well.

There was no way I believed it was Nora’s idea.

“She is at her home too,” the warrior responded, and I sighed.

“Umm, where is the Luna of the pack? Luna Nora?” I corrected myself to ensure he didn’t mistake

her for someone like Janet.

“You can find her on the second floor. She is probably-” the warrior paused, thinking, “in one of the

locked rooms.”

He finished with a hint of confusion.

Locked rooms?

Why would she be in a locked room? Or more specifically, why would the room be looked if she is in

it?

“Got it,” I decided to find her myself instead of asking around. I had seen her room before, so it

wasn’t hard for me to locate it. However, I did not expect to find a lock on the door and so many

warriors outside it.

They didn’t even let me get past them to reach the door.

“Why is there a lock on this door?” I asked as the warriors recognized me and bowed in respect.

“There is some important stuff in this room,” one of them replied, causing a frown to crease my

forehead.

Did Nora change her room?

“I was told to check the locked rooms for Luna Nora?” I scratched the

back of my neck, getting even more confused.

“The warrior must have meant the unlocked room. Many rooms have locks in this mansion. Check

for an unlocked one,” the warrior with a pleasant smile over shared and I nodded my head.

That’s when I remembered something. She said she was living with Brody, and they had days when

she spent time with him when Janet was not around.

Just the thought of finding her in his bedroom made me want to rip Brody’s heart out.

I decided to go downstairs and wait for any of them to show searching for them myself had proven

unproductive.

up because

However, as I was about to turn around, I saw Janet walk out of a dark hallway and then head

downstairs.

She was in such a hurry that she didn’t even notice me. Something urged me to go to that hallway,

and I followed my instincts.

I began to head toward it and found one room open. The warrior had told me to look into the

unlocked rooms.

As I drew closer, I heard Nora’s sweet voice, but it was her words that shook the ground beneath my

feet.

“My little baby, Mommy is back, and she will not leave you alone again. Now quickly finish feeding

so that I can change your diaper.”

And with that, I heard a little coo of a baby from inside the room.
