265–Asking My Stepbrothers For Help

Nora:

“I’m giving you a few hours to plan and decide. If you don’t want her with you, we’ll have to get her married to someone here and ensure she moves to their home,” Yuki told Brody before patting Lord Atwood’s back to bring him back to the conversation.

As the two walked away, I turned to Brody with tears streaming down my eyes.

“What are they saying? Can they really do that?” I asked him, my body trembling miserably.

When will this humiliation end?

“They can. They’re the council and the Alpha King-” Before he could finish, I realized what I needed to do regarding this matter.

“I need to speak to the brothers,” I blurted out, feeling like a fool for just now coming up with the idea.

“Huh?” Brody frowned.

“Think about it, if the brothers say they’re fine with me living here, the council won’t be able to make any decisions for me. The Alpha Kings will have the final say,” I smiled widely as I remembered how much we had bonded over the time we spent together.

“I think the council must have spoken to them before coming here. It would be a fool’s errand to go and request this from them,” Brody held my hand to prevent me from running after the brothers. But I freed my hand from his grasp because I knew they would do it for me.

The type of bond I had with these brothers was different. Even if there was no mate bond, we had been so close that there was no way they would ask me to leave their home so easily.

“I’m sure they’ll be against the idea. Even when they were upset with me, they were against the idea of me staying in your apartment, Brody. You see! They will never want me gone,” I gave him a confident smile, but the sympathetic look on his face was a mood killer. No way would the brothers let Brody marry me and take me with him.

However, I was determined to show him how wrong he was. They would never hurt me by asking me to leave. If anything, they would go crazy on the council for demanding my departure.

So, I left Brody in the room and went searching for the brothers. After failing to replace them anywhere, I had only one place left to check.

One of the maids told me she had seen them go upstairs, all the way to the roof. We hadn’t used that area much, so it was surprising news, but I guessed their father must have sent them there to avoid hearing what was happening downstairs.

Ryker hadn’t come home yet, and I was worried about him. But right now, I needed to stay in this place so we could all work together and help Ryker recover from the trauma. I had so much planned for him. I would make him the happiest and even apologize for ever being rude to him.

All the times when he kept showing love and I used to get angry at him -even when he would jump in from the balcony and I hurt him with my words–I would make everything right. I just needed to stay.

Once I reached the rooftop, I found the brothers sitting together with wine bottles in their hands. They seemed distraught.

“Stepbrothers!”

My voice sort of woke them up. They all shared a glance before turning their heads toward me. I quickly approached them, noticing Nash in his white shirt, Cain dressed in all black, and Silas wearing a gray hoodie.

“Thank goodness I found you. Do you know what’s going on?” I asked, standing beside them while they sat around a small table, watching me silently.

“No! Please tell us,” Nash’s voice had a bit of harshness in it, but I tried to avoid it.

Maybe they were drunk, but their bottles were not even half empty. Their eyes were shooting darts at me, making me wonder if they were upset with me about something.
