439–The Kiss Of Life

Nora:

Everyone celebrated while I walked away to avoid appearing upset in front of them. I didn’t want them to think I was envious of Clara or affected by Silas choosing a mate.

Once I reached the terrace, I began to inhale and exhale deeply to feel better. I felt heavy in my heart, worried too. Brody never discussed adopting Roman or making him Janet’s son. But the way the two had been talking about him and spending time with him gave me the impression that they were already acting like one big family–without me.

“Oh!” I sighed, hugging myself.

“What happened? Why did you leave so abruptly? We’ve just started the celebrations,” said Silas. I didn’t expect him to come check on me; he was probably here to rub it in my face.

“Leave before I say something hurtful, Silas,” I replied, not turning around because watching him would be too painful.

“I haven’t come here to leave. I will not fucking leave until I find out the truth and take you back with me.” His mention of a plan surprised me. I turned around hastily to confront him. “Oh really? All the while you’re getting married to Clara?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He narrowed his eyes at me, and I gently pushed his shoulder, wanting to hurt him intensely.

“Why do you want to take me back then?” I hissed.

“Because you are my mate, and I am not going to let anyone keep you

chained here,” he shot back, moving toward me without a thought of being seen by anyone. I quickly stepped back because I didn’t want any trouble.

“I will fucking turn this pack upside down, Nora, because now I know Brody did something so horrible to you that you’re afraid of him. The Nora who fights monsters, the fucking weeping queen, is afraid of that asshole. Does he keep your son hostage? Is everyone else involved in this crazy game? All against you?” The way his veins were pulsing and his jaw was clenched made me zone out for a moment before I realized what he was doing.

“Why did you ask Clara to marry you?” I suddenly lunged at him, grabbing his collar.

“No, Silas. You cannot play her. Her brother is the only one on my side for now. If she gets hurt, he will turn against me again, and then-” I was rambling as I understood it was his grand plan to come here and stay for however long he wanted.

I should have guessed it right away. But I was so messed up from what I

think clearly.

I was learning about Brody and Janet that I cou

“Huh. There’s no need for him to be on your side. You have a fucking` army of alpha kings behind you now. I don’t care what Rollo will think or how much I’ll hurt Clara in the process; I don’t care about them. I only care about you, and I’m telling you right now that I will not go back home alone this time,” Silas finished, freeing his collar from my grasp before he stepped back.

I couldn’t respond to him. But if he could really do it, I would be the happiest. I kept staring at him, tears forming in my eyes as I sniffled silently. “He has the remote to my anklet, I cannot take it off. And if I disobey him, he will hurt my baby,” I uttered softly, feeling miserable once again.

“I knew it. I will make things right. Just act as he tells you for now, and then-” He hadn’t finished when I decided to tell him that we didn’t really have time anymore.

“He gave me one week,” I took a deep breath as he tilted his head in confusion.

“One week for what?” he whispered, carefully touching my hand and holding it. I felt so much at ease when he touched me.

“If I didn’t let him mark me or–give myself to him as a sex toy-” That was all I said as I watched Silas’s eyes catch a strange heat. It was as if they had been set on fire.

“Silas!” I reached for him, holding his hand. “Please, you have to control your anger.”

As I rubbed his hand between mine, I found him feeling much better. But his body was warm; his skin seemed to be burning up.

“I will take care of everything. Before one week is up, you will be out of here with your baby, okay?” He cupped my face, barely able to stand straight as his wolf was still trying to break through.

“I am here now, we are here now,” he added, gently pressing his lips against mine before pulling away.

That kiss!

That kiss was a kiss of life. Suddenly, I felt so much better and not so lonely. It is indeed true that your mate can heal your broken heart very

easily.
