8-1 Swear I Won’t Peek Again. Nora: I woke up early in the morning to join my new family for breakfast. Dad insisted that I be there to start the day on a positive note after the not-so-great evening we had yesterday. I dressed in a black top and jeans, tying my front hair at the back and leaving the rest loose. Facing my brothers again, especially Cain, was going to be quite a challenge. I believed the previous night’s incident was entirely my fault. I promised myself not to invade their private spaces and avoid seeing what I shouldn’t. Stepping out of the room, an old Omega led me to the terrace with a fantastic view for breakfast. Dad proudly pointed at me, announcing, “My daughter is here, with a wide smile on his lips. “Good morning, Dad!” I greeted, scanning the brothers’ reactions. They were explosive the day before, to the point. where I couldn’t even leave my bedroom. Dad pulled out a seat for me, and I sat down beside him. He was cheerful and smiling, unlike his sons, who hadn’t greeted me back yet. Glancing at the brothers, I could see they’d rather be on a battleground than here. Alpha Silas and Alpha Ryker sat beside me, silently judging. Silas, with his messy hair and glasses, looked nerdy yet charming. He was the only werewolf doctor, who was so young yet so good at what he did. Ryker, with his two-colored hair, seemed wild. His body language appeared calm and electric simultaneously. On the opposite side were Cain and Nash, with a young girl between them. I frowned recognizing the red hair and gulped as our eyes met. She must have see me last night, making it confusing and creepy that the stepsister was spying on her brother’s intimate session. But her back was facing me, so l should be fine. Since you guys weren’t so welcoming before, I plan to make today special for my daughter. Lord Atwood announced, stealing the attention and sitting up on his seat. Nash expressed his disappointment, “You say it as if you’ve never had kids before,” in a tone that overpowered his deep husky voice. The white shirt looked good on him, his muscles straining
against it. Cain had his head tilted, eyes resting on me as if deep in thought. His gray shirt contrasted well with his hazel eyes and dirty blond hair. All in all, my brothers were really good- looking “Hi” I waved awkwardly. When nobody smiled back, I took matters into my own hands and started a conversation. I needed to speak to this girl and make sure she understood that I wasn’t watching my stepbrother for any inappropriate reason. I don’t even know why I was watching him, just in case they caught me when I ran back to my room like crazy. “Ahem! I cleared my throat, and the brothers eerily turned to me, making me uncomfortable. It’s nice to meet you, I told the girl, who rolled her blue eyes before forcing a smile on her lips. was actually looking for the kitchen last night. Then I heard some weird noises from my brother’s room, so I wondered if he ( 1 Wort Park Aqui 1 ses Wouters was okay!” I joked, the only one laughing while the others narrowed their eyes at me. “And then I saw you there. I mean, you looked amazing.” I paused when I noticed Cain straighten his back and glare at me. Oh my goddess, he was angry that I was spying on them? Lord Atwood had already walked away to attend a phone call, so now I was on my own, up against the angry beasts. “I mean, I came across you guys and then walked away quickly. I didn’t want to bother the couple. Are you two mates?” I kept yammering to make things normal, but they kept glaring at me. The girl looked like she would reach down my throat and cut my tongue out. I didn’t understand the anger on their faces. “Uh-huh!” I heard Ryker say, and when I turned slightly to him, I found his eyes down but a smirk on his lips. “Daphne, what were you doing in my brother’s studio?” Just when I thought if I don’t say a word for another minute, everything will sail smoothly, I heard Nash raise his voice at the girl. “I am asking you something,” Nash slammed his fist on the table. It was at this moment I understood why he is a boxer. Somebody needs to keep his anger in check, and he does it byCòntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
boxing. “Where would a girlfriend be? We are all adults here. The couple can stay-,” I thought maybe I should defend the couple. because nobody likes them together, until I saw Nash turn to glare at me into silence. “I wanted him to make a painting of mine, babe,” the moment she placed her hand on Nash’s hand and uttered sweetly, I 40 201 ||| 15:53 mized messed up. She was Cans girfriend she was Nasts ginnend and happened to be the one to expose them “You know itre pams expici caminos.” Wash stretched his reck removing his hand from under her hand and granding. Yest-listen Dacie seemed out of words. Well how could she defend herself when I literally e nosed her. Nothing happened Cain, now breaming profusely, muttered under his breath. Acart from you seen my girfriend naked and painting her? Or acan from you and her making noises, isn’t that what our sister saic? Nesh finally lost his temper and got out of the chair. Dachine got up and rushed to the side while Nesh grasped Cain from his collars, dragging him out of his chair to make him face If you are looking for an apology have nothing to give you. She came to my studio you know I don’t reject offers like that the way Cain angered him instead of handling the situation by apologizing made my ears turn red from embarrassment. I got the brothers into this mess. “What is going on? Are any of you ever going to make me proud by not bickering for a single day?” Lord Atwood cut the call and arrived in time because it appeared as if Cain wasn’t even defending himself against Nash. I swear it looked like Cain wanted him to attack him. “I don’t want this family breakfast and b**it,” Nash let go of Cain and walked away. His body seemed even bigger when he strode away. Daphne instantly ran after him because she
couldn’t face the eyes of the others on her “I will be heading inside then, Gan uttered under his breath, standing still until he rateed his head, and our eyes met for a brief moment. Geaht they looks re “I am so sorry, I guess my sons is jealous of the attention you are gelling” as soon as Lord Atwood said that, I heard Silas “Then there is no point in me sticking around either. It’s not like our dad cares,” Silas grabbed his Jabeont from the side chair and walked off “I will plan a good welcome party for you soon after I speak to the werewolf council,” Lord Atwod promised, but that wasn’t even what I was concerned about at the moment. As he too walked away, I gulped and straightened my back. “Bravo! Little sister arrived to ruin the already destroyed family,” Ryker hadn’t left, and neither did he look too worried about his brothers “I didn’t mean to, I didn’t kn” Before I could continue talking, his chuckle silenced me and compelled me to turn to look at him. “Why were you spying on your brother, little sister?” he stopped smiling and tilted his head, squeezing his eyes a little until the silver part of his eyes was prominent. “-“I gulped, having no answer for his question. “Huh! I hope you don’t peek around my room. Because Nora!” he got up only to hunch over me and whisper in my ear, “You will # see some really big things.” Something I didn’t want to hear from my brother.
