Helanie:
I returned to my room, and at that mont, I saw a maid rushing out of it. I frowned and instantly entered to see what she had been doing in my room when I found a dress lying on the bed.
It was the most beautiful purple gown in a plastic cover. It was a beautiful one.
"Maybe Emt got this dress." I quickly uncovered it, and a huge smile spread across my lips—until I read the little note on the side.
"This will look good on you, pumpkin!"
Tears started to sting my eyes, my nose getting stuffy as I realized who the dress was from. It was not from Emt.
"Mom!" I hissed.
Why was she suddenly doing this for ? There’s no way she doesn’t have a plan in mind to get in trouble. I know her well. And I also know she would never be kind enough to get anything for .
I put the dress in the closet for later. I’ll see what to do.
The rest of the day was quiet for . I did so assignnts and worked out until it was ti for to head out again for training.
"Let’s see. He’ll have to open up eventually."
Norman was standing with Emt outside the mansion near his car. He had his arm folded over the roof of the car, his other hand running through his hair nonstop, while Emt was casually drinking from a bottle.
"Ready?" Norman saw and asked with a quick jerk of his head.
I only gave him a nod in response.
Emt subtly slipped his hand down and hid the bottle behind his back, as if he didn’t want to see him drinking. It could be because he was my professor. I also didn’t look at him until I was sure he had hidden the bottle.
I would hate to make him uncomfortable.
"Going for training?" Emt asked, clearing his throat.
A huge smile spread across my face while watching him talk to .
He was so special and decent. His maturity always surprised .
"Yeah, I’m trying to get ready before the combat classes," I replied, and he started nodding his head.
"That’s actually a very good idea. I see you’re doing very well, but Helanie, you shouldn’t tire yourself. Going to the hospital, then to the woods for your job, and then training—don’t you think that’s too much?" He continued to show concern, asking in a worried tone.
Standing next to him made look so small. But it was Norman’s scoff that pulled my attention away from Emt.
"She’s a pretty annoying person. And such people never get tired," he remarked while getting in his car.
I could tell the brothers were joking with each other, but why did Norman have to put down to laugh?
"Co on, blonde, we’re getting late," he said, snapping his fingers with his hand extending out of the car.
"If you’re free, I’ll take you out shopping tomorrow." Emt was strangely calm as he offered to shop with .
Training went well. Actually, pretty well. Norman taught so moves for attacking and defending myself. And luckily enough, my wolf was still sharing her strength with . That was the best part of her waking up.
But I just couldn’t wait to talk with her. Having soone to talk to would be so much better than being alone.
"We’ll work on your reflexes tomorrow," Norman said, getting in the car while I rushed after him to sit with him.
"How is Kaye?" I asked the minute he started the car.
"He’s fine and none of your business," he replied coldly, fixing the mirror and then tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.
"He’s my mate, of course I care about him," I retorted, feeling judged.
"Well, he’s your mate that you don’t want. So basically, you have no right over him," he continued to drive and talk without any emotion.
"Still—can’t I even ask how he is?" I got so defensive that I raised my voice.
And obviously, he didn’t like it.
"Will you shut up? Or I’ll drop you right here and make you walk—" he threatened as he suddenly parked the car on the side of the road.
That’s when I pushed the door open and jumped out of the car.
"Helanie—" he grunted, getting anxious as I slamd the door and started walking.
"Get back in the car," he yelled, leaning on the door.
"No!" I yelled back.
"Helanie, it’s not safe out here after dark," he muttered through clenched teeth this ti.
"Then you shouldn’t make threats," I yelled back, briskly walking away.
But the minute he started walking, it was so obvious.
His heavy steps and long strides made him catch up to in no ti. Even when I was doing my best to get away fast, he had already reached .
"I was just—get in the car, Helanie," he spoke in his deep tone, standing tall and broad in front of , blocking my path.
"Then I’ll drive," I hissed as he placed his hands on his waist, lowering his body a little to look in the eye.
"Do you even know how to drive?" he asked in a low tone.
"No! But I want to so I can run into a tree and get you killed," I hissed, stomping my foot.
He gets under my nerves every ti.
He’s always so harsh to .
And about Kaye—I didn’t an to hurt him. I asked for rejection because he had already made his choice over . Why drag with him?
"Okay, you can do that so other ti. Besides, a little accident won’t hurt ," he said, walking back to his car.
Reluctantly, I followed him.
After I sat in the car, he silently drove us back ho. And the minute I got out, I slamd the door shut on purpose.
I could hear him grunt in complaint every ti I did that.
