269–Not Even Silas!
Nora:
It was time I begged some more. I guess the Moon Goddess wanted me to use all my might and then see for myself that I did everything, but it was supposed to happen.
Maybe if none of them stopped me from leaving, that will be the last time I would ever consider staying with them. But I wished someone would stop me.
“Sílas! Please! You should understand. You treat patients, right? You would know when someone feels like they belong
somewhere,” I stepped in his path and began to murmur, hoping he would empathize with the pain I was feeling.
But he didn’t.
He shoved his phone into his pocket and grabbed my arm, leaving another bruise to join the ones his brothers had already inflicted on my skin.
“Yeah! And I’m making a diagnosis right here and right now. You’re mentally ill, Nora! You crave attention. I know why you don’t want to leave this mansion—because Brody’s place won’t have as many people for you to bother. You want everyone to suffer. And why are you asking for my help when you wrote in the files that I was the one who planned Mia’s murder? Huh? And now you want my help?” The scoff he let out blew air in my face.

“Nora, all I’m saying
good time—you’re making us–” He clenched his jaw, and I watched his veins pop up, but he quickly looked away.
“Just go for now, please!” It was as if he was begging, but with a harsh tone.
“Just give me one chance,” I raised a finger to plead, but he tightened his jaw and began dragging me back to my room.
“We have suffered enough because of you. We don’t want Ryker to see your face when he returns. He wants you gone, and we want you gone, so please don’t make it difficult. Leave the doors open–” He didn’t even slow down until he kicked my bedroom door open and threw me inside. However, he hadn’t finished what he was going to say.
Brody quickly rushed over and caught me, preventing a bad fall.
“The fuck–” Before Brody could yell at him, Silas hissed and silenced him.
“Keep your girlfriend on a leash. She’s going around begging everyone to let her stay. And you know? Because her heart is scared to leave with you. I wonder why? Does she not trust you?” He wrinkled his nose as he delivered those words to Brody, then slammed the door behind him and vanished from sight.
I cried on Brody’s chest, and he didn’t ask why Silas had said all those things. Recent events had weakened me.
And since I hadn’t completed my wolf transition, I was even more vulnerable now.

“Calm down,” he rubbed my back, and I finally broke the hug just so I could tell him this wasn’t what I meant when I said I didn’t want to leave the pack. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“You must think I’m such a horrible girlfriend, going around– begging to stay here just so I don’t have to leave with you,” I was hiccuping from crying so much.
“No!” He steadily shook his head and wiped my tears. “I’m not one of those people who doesn’t understand anything. I know why you don’t want to leave. You told me when we got into this relationship that you weren’t ready for anything serious yet. And now they’re forcing this relationship on you that they
themselves suggested. I know the pain you’re in right now, Nóra. And I’m just—trying to find a way to ease it for you,” he said all the right things,
The things I wanted to hear from my stepfather, from my stepbrother, and from my mates.
I suddenly stopped crying but was still sniffling a little.
“They took my phone away. Maybe if I could speak to Ryker—he could convince them,” I said, since Brody seemed to understand my struggle to stay here.
“I’m not sure if he would pick up, but since he’s still with the council, I can give them a call and say you want to talk to him. If that’s what you want,” he said softly and very kindly.
“I would like that, please,” I muttered, and he pulled out his phone.
