438–They Won’t Stop Betraying Me.
Nora:
I cried so much after Silas saw me with my baby. I don’t even know if I gathered myself properly. After he left, I kept wondering if it was a nightmare or if it really happened.
“Akira! I am so scared. What if I didn’t tell him properly to not tell anyone? What if right now, he is confronting Brody?” I recalled how crazy Brody had become after the last time.
This time, he would make sure to make me pay by hurting my children.
“You should quickly go and see what is going on,” Akira advised, and it made me realize that even she was not as calm as she usually is.
It was a crazy situation.
But how the hell did Silas appear out of nowhere?
I was drowning in overwhelming emotions. I walked out and looked around, wondering where the nannies were. There was no way I would ask Janet to come and take care of my baby.
“Oh,” Mrs. Fisher stopped when she was about to walk toward the room but spotted me instead:
“Mrs. Fisher, where is the nanny? Don’t tell me Janet takes care of my. baby,” I watched her slow down, her eyes holding animosity and grudge for last night’s incident.
“Actually,” Mrs. Fisher uttered before an evil smirk played on her lips, “I‘ m the one who takes care of Roman when Janet is not watching him. You

know, Jane and Brody really like him. They were even talking about adopting him,” she shrugged, wrinkling her nose.

My heart flipped; I couldn’t even move a muscle until I finally did. I turned to her and watched her lean over Roman to smile at him. I heard him giggle as if he knew her.
No! He cannot know them.
“How could they? His mother is here. I am his mother.” Tears started to sting the corners of my eyes while Mrs. Fisher held Roman in her arms, rocking him back and forth. So this is what they had been doing while I was gone. I was afraid they would hurt my children if I didn’t listen to Brody.
Instead, they were even thinking about stealing him from me. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“I told you what I know. Oh, and by the way, Alpha King Silas is here. You might want to go meet him. Brody wouldn’t like it if he heard you were with the kids when Silas is around,” she uttered very calmly.
I wanted to snatch Roman out of her hands, but my other kids were at their mercy, and I had to be careful.
At least she was taking care of him. Convincing myself of this, I rushed out to take a deep breath. This had gone out of hand now.
I wish I had done something about it earlier.
After cleaning my face with the back of my hand, I left for the living room where they were all gathered.
Brody was sitting with Janet on his left side. Clara was sitting close to Silas, who clenched his jaw before faking a smile.
Rollo stood behind their couch, observing my face.

I had a minute to act. Ever since I had returned, I had realized they were plotting something behind my back.
And their target was Roman.
I steadily strolled closer to Brody and sat down on his right, causing shocked gazes to turn toward me.
“What a surprise visit, Silas!” It was so hard to keep my tone steady.
“Yeah, I wanted to come here and, umm, talk to Clara’s brother about her,” Silas uttered, fixing his posture. He spread his arm over the couch’s backrest and tapped his foot on the ground.
“About what?” Brody questioned, sparing a glance at Clara, who was happily sitting and blushing the whole time.
“Ever since I met Clara, I have felt this deep connection to her. But then she appeared at my pack, and that’s when I really started to look at her differently. Hence, I have come here to ask her brother for her hand in marriage,” Silas said, his tone eerily calm.
He lacked emotion, his eyes bluntly fixed on me before he turned to Clara and gave her a weird, forced smile.
I was shocked by the choice of his words.
He found out that Brody had been keeping my son from me, and he thought the best way to handle it was to focus on his own life and marry
omeone who might be involved in the conspiracy against me?
I was deeply disappointed and hurt. My mind could no longer think straight.
“What? I don’t think-” As Brody started to object, Clara got up and ran over to her brother, holding his arm and shaking it.

“I do think it is kind of out of nowhere, but then again–it would be such a pleasure to have my sister marry such a capable Alpha King.” Rollo
completely disregarded Brody’s glares and accepted the proposal the very
instant
Of course, he did. His sister would become the next Luna Queen. And here I was, thinking maybe Silas would be able to help me. Gosh! I was so wrong. And I was left alone while Silas moved on.
I should not have let my emotions get the better of me.
