Nora:

“She blackmailed you?” I wondered if he was even telling the truth. “She blackmailed an Alpha King, and you couldn’t come and tell me?” I shook my head, refusing to believe his lies.

“I’m not lying. At that moment, I had to submit because there were other things going on that I couldn’t tell you,” he tried to hold my hands, but I pulled them behind my back, and he went silent.

“I’m sorry. I mean–none of us wanted you out-,” at this point, I felt like he was just making up more and more lies.

“So, she blackmailed you into dumping me after you slept with me?” I raised my head and noticed he had started to look away. “You wanted to talk, right? So talk,” I folded my arms over my chest and smirked.

It felt like a “gotcha” moment until he asked something that left my mouth dry.

“That’s because you lied to me when you said you hadn’t slept with anyone before me.”

I didn’t even know how to respond, frozen for a moment.

“So, you were angry because you weren’t my first?” I realized I was missing something here because the tears in his eyes seemed real.

Was he crying because he couldn’t take my virginity?

“Nora!” He closed his eyes and tilted his head back. “Imagine feeling a mate bond with someone, and you two start flirting. Up until that point, your mate is a virgin, and then suddenly, they’re not. Don’t you think they cheated on you? And then they also lied to you?” He lowered his head, and our eyes met.

I went completely blank, with no answer to his question.

“I wasn’t going to punish you for it. But it was hard for me to accept that you had cheated on me. It hurt because, Nora, it was my first time.”

I was shocked to hear those words come from his mouth. He hadn‘ t had sex? This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“And after that-,” he tried to continue, but the door opened, and Ryker walked in.

“I’m sorry to interrupt, but… that kid from school-,” his expression told me it was bad news.

“Robert? What happened to him?” It was as if I knew what he would say, but I didn’t realize how much it would hurt.

“He’s gone.”

“Huh?” I felt like a complete failure at that moment.

“He went missing right after school,” Ryker added, and I saw Nash and Silas standing behind him.

“What? How–I told–oh, no,” I slapped my forehead so hard that Cain immediately stepped forward to check on me.

“Fuck off!” I yelled at him as desperation took over me.

went silent and stared at Cain, who was equally shocked by my

reaction.

“Why the hell did you have to take up my time? Was this the moment you thought was appropriate to talk about our history together? You were supposed to come and arrange warriors for that guy’s safety, but you–you wasted my time.” I didn’t know what was taking over me–the guilt of cheating on him and then lying to him, or just the realization that I was now understanding why he wouldn’t want me in the mansion. But suddenly, I was taking my anger out on him.

“Nora! That is not fair. He just wanted to-,” Silas stepped forward in defense of his brother, but Cain gestured for him to stand back.

“I think I did take too much time.” Cain stepped aside, and I briskly left the room, even pushing Ryker out of my way.

I rushed downstairs, followed by Ryker, Nash, and Silas.

“Where are we headed now?” Nash asked, trying to get information on my plans.

“I’m not sure about you three because it seems like your mission isn’t even to get rid of the main problem, just to talk about random issues. But I’m headed to the school to see if I can find anything

about him and also ask the freaking principal why Robert left school without anyone accompanying him,” I yelled, shaking my head at the brothers for not taking it seriously.

I rushed into the car, and Nash stormed in with me. There was no time for the others to join us because I had already told Nash to start driving. The others took a car behind us.

Now that I was sitting in the car and we were headed to the school,

I couldn’t help but remember Cain’s complaints. He thought I had cheated on him and then lied to him just to sleep with him. Of course, I would have been furious if he had done the same to me.

So was I wrong to expect him to still accept me when I acted like I didn’t even understand why he was so upset with me? How was I so naive in the past that it never occurred to me that he would catch on to my lies?
