“How can I trust you?” Nora yelled turning back to face her ‘brother’
He looked at her pleadingly as tears kept running down his eyes. She sniffed, “Give me a chance Nora! Please. I promise you won’t regret it” he said softly. His heart tugged in grief and guilt, in front of him wasn’t the Nora he once knew. The one who was kind and always those guys of others, put others before her. No. This Nora was far from that Nora.
She is wild beast, ready to kill anyone at any moment. One should be cautious of how they breath her way, even that could aggravate her enough to tear their limbs apart.
“How do I know you and you mother are not playing again? Tell me??” She said memories of last week came back when her entire hard work was on fire before her eyes.
“After what your mother did last week?? How can I trust you? TELL ME!!” she yelled out the last part.
Thomas looked at her in confusion, “What are you talking about?” He asked. Nora furrowed her brows, she could tell he genuinely had no idea about what she is talking about. She pulled out her phone and showed him the video where Thomas’ mother was pouring gasoline all over a place that looked like a restaurant.
He watched silently, confused as to why it is even related to Nora. Brianna, Thomas’s mother lit a torch on fire and threw it on the very expensive looking restaurant. Then he remembered, “Yes! I remember a well known chef’s restaurant was set on fire last week. I read it on news..” he told Nora.
“But why would she set the restaurant on fire? And how is this related to you?” He asked her. She rolled her eyes, “THAT chef is me and THAT restaurant is mine” she said incredulously to him. Shaking her head.
“Why am I even telling you this” she said to herself and walked away. In desperation to hold her for a second Thomas said the first thing that came to his mind, “I’ll help you” Nora stopped hot on her tracks.
He cautiously walked to her, “I’ll help you get the justice you deserve…” He said as he stood in front of her. She cocked her head to the side and folded her arms in front of her, “A word like justice does not suit coming from you” she mocked him.
“I know, you are thinking this is some kind of joke or an evil plan to bring you down. But I swear Nora! I swear on my dead kids that it’s nothing like that. I just.. I just wanna mend our relationship” he said in all honesty, “I have done a lot of unforgivable things in my life, I wanna mend everything. I wanna right my wrongs” he pleaded. Nora’s heart tugged at her once chauvinistic brother to see him begging for a chance.
“Fine” she exasperated, “But if you mess this time, I’ll roast you alive!” She warned him. A smile tugged on his face, “I’ll lather my body with barbeque sauce that day” he joked. Nora shook her head chuckling.
That night both of them went to another bar and drank their feeling. They shared a lot of tears, laughs and heart breaks. That night they finally bonded as brother and sister. But the night hadn’t come to an end.
“Urgh.. I wanna sleep” Nora said yawning and stretching her limbs out.
Thomas looked at his watch that said 3. 27 am
“It’s pretty late..” he muttered. Nora groaned and looked at the watch herself then another groan left her mouth, “The guard would have already closed the compound and the gates by now” she cried in frustration and leaned back to the plush chair.
Thomas looked at her hesitantly, “You know… You could crash at my place tonight” he offered kindly. He was 100% sure that she’ll turn down the offer. But she looked him them shrugged, “Okay, just don’t let they weird mate of yours came near me or else I won’t be responsible for the damage” she said with her hands up in surrender.
Thomas chuckled, “I remember when I first introduced her to everyone. Nobody liked her” he snorted along with Nora who snickered. Now he knows what others saw in her before he did, a pathological liar and many more adjectives. But that one standing up the most.
They both quietly went to Thomas car and drove to the TealRiver pack ground. Thomas had told Alice (his mate) that he’d be out for two days and she did too inform him that she’ll be at her friend’s house so their place would be locked. Thomas didn’t have to worry about Alice running into Nora. He didn’t want that mate of his to spoil his quality time with his sister.
Thomas parked outside his house and opened the door for Nora. She smiled at him and walked towards the house. A part of her was glad that Thomas doesn’t stay at their old house. Too many haunting memories.. for both of them.
Thomas’s heart quicken it’s pace when he heard two heart beats already in the house. He furrowed his brows in confusion and looked at Nora who just shook her head. She looked at him sadly, “You should go to your bedroom” she said softly.. as if trying to console him.
He didn’t question her, just quietly walked to his room. The further he came the noises increased. He didn’t wanna believe his ears, it was her. His mate, her moans. With a aching heart he opened the door.
A lone tear fell from his eyes. People always underestimate the power mates have over each other. If they can built you. They can break you just as easily. Wolves go through so much just to have a mate and that’s all they need mates. Nothing else from them apart from love. But love has become an inanimate object now. It’s nothing but materialism and sex. Nothing more nothing less.
And there she was, the one he loved, riding another man’s cock. The sudden rage that ran through him not only shocked him but also the other. In a blink of an eye Thomas’s hands clutched the man bloody throat. A shrieking scream made him snap, “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO??? WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?” Alice screamed at him.
