Chapter Tasting 37



37–Stop Staring At My Breasts 

Nora: 

I was in my room after that, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t confront Nash for his cruel plans. ‘I’m glad I listened to you,‘ I twirled my ring and told Akira, who had been the reason I had taken care of the baby last night. 

Flashback: 

‘Goodnight,‘ I bid Akira, attempting to rest when she cleared her throat. That’s why I didn’t adjust my ring, sensing she had something to say. 

‘I don’t know. I just feel like we’re making a mistake. Why would Nash let you keep the baby?’ She was probably right, but maybe he was just concerned because it was only a baby. If he told anyone, the baby would be in danger at the hands of the pack members. 

‘Hmm,‘ I sat up in bed and gazed at the closet where the baby was sleeping and cooing. I understood he was a monster’s baby, but he was just a baby. 

‘So what do you think we should do?‘ I inquired, biting my nails anxiously. 

‘I think we should leave this baby back in the woods so that his mother comes and collects him,‘ she suggested. 

‘Are you sure he will be safe in the woods?’ I worried about what would become of the baby if I left him all alone in the woods. 

‘We need to do that because if he is caught in the same room as ours, 

we will both be punished,’ she was right. I nodded my head and got off the bed to grab an oversized gray sweater, wearing only shorts and sneakers. I carried the baby in my arms and started climbing out of the window. 

With Akira’s help, I didn’t fear falling or anything. She basically assisted us in climbing down easily. It wasn’t hard for me to jump off the walls of the mansion and head for the woods. 

Even though I had only been staying here for a few days, I knew where the guards were. The night was so cold that my legs were constantly getting covered in goosebumps. The darkness around me made me hold onto the baby even tighter and closer to my chest. I was worried somebody might see us. However, when I crossed the road and reached the woods, I began to relax a little. I headed for the woods, and once deep into the woods, I laid down the baby and stepped back. 

“I’m so sorry for leaving you here, but your scent will lead your mother to you,” I mumbled, watching the baby having no idea what was happening around him. 

“I wish I could keep you for long,” I just felt weird that some creatures were extremely hated upon. But then again, these monsters were called monsters for a reason. They have been killing the werewolves for some time now. I stepped away as he kept sleeping in the blanket made from my blue sweater. 

My heart was burdened with the sadness of leaving him sleeping and clueless. But I knew from Nash that once the baby was out, his mother would sniff him out easily. 

I then returned home and slept uncomfortably, waking up for school in the morning. 

End of Flashback.

“I can’t believe Nash did that. When are these brothers ever going to be nicer to me?” I pouted, sitting on the bed and staring at the door, waiting for the omega to come collect me for dinner. 

And that’s exactly what happened when maid Galinda walked inside with a smile on her lips, “Lord Atwood is waiting for you at the dinner table.” 

She walked away, and I leaped out of bed to follow her. The family seemed to be enjoying dinner in the garden. The brothers exchanged glances and then rolled their eyes, while Lord Atwood smiled at me. 

“I hope you’re not upset about today,” Lord Atwood uttered, and I took a seat right next to him, with Nash on my left side and Dad on my right. 

“I’m not. I’m glad everyone took it seriously. There’s nothing more important than the security of the pack,” I smiled, noticing how proud Lord Atwood looked at my words. 

“Look, that’s how a true Luna acts,” he chuckled happily. The title of Luna was bestowed upon me by my stepfather’s side, and it was indeed a huge responsibility because whoever is my mate will inherit the title of the Alpha and will be given a pack where we would rule. I just don’t know why, but Lord Atwood was too generous to me. 

“Right!” Nash straightened his back as he scoffed and stretched his arm out to grab the spoon to fill the pasta when I snatched the spoon before him and started filling my plate very slowly. 

I watched the others stare at me, not liking my behavior either. 

“Can you hurry up?” Nash muttered, trying to conceal his voice from his father, who was now busy talking with Alpha Cain over the pack’s business.

“Why? Do you have another dirty plan against your sister?” I taunted, dropping the spoon on his plate after licking it entirely. 

He grimaced and angrily grabbed a napkin to clean the spoon. 

“I think that will do,” I heard Cain’s voice, and when I turned to look at him, I saw him briefly watching me and Nash while talking to his father. 

His eyes made me uncomfortable, as his gaze was very specific and mesmerizing. 

“I will do my full research to find out who stole that monster baby,” Cain’s words fell into my ears, and I lifted my head again, this time frowning. 

“Because there’s no way a monster sneaked back into the warriors‘ camp to reclaim her baby without causing any noise or commotion,” as he continued, I felt my heart flip inside my chest. 

So far, I had thought Nash only told on me, but now I was even more confused because from their conversation, I understood that they found a monster’s baby, and then somebody stole that baby from under their noses and left him in my room, and then Nash told on me. 

Who would put the baby in my bedroom and why mine only? Could it be Nash’s doing? I suddenly turned to stare at Nash, who paused eating and raised his brow at me. 

“What happened now?” he grunted, shaking his head and continuing to eat. I sighed and looked away but the unease stayed for the rest of the dinner. I couldn’t help but wonder if this whole thing was orchestrated just to get me kicked out? As the dinner ended, I got out of my seat to follow my target. 

37–Stop Staning At My Breasts 

My target was Nash, so I sped, ignoring everyone to make sure I caught up with him before he disappeared into his bedroom. However, he was already in his room on the third floor and was about to close the door when I placed my hand on the door and slid inside. 

He was taken aback and stepped away from the door in shock. I locked the door and turned to face him, my back against the door. He seemed like he was frozen as he watched me raise my brow. 

“What the f**k do you want?” he uttered under his clenched jaw, his eyes on none other than me, and that’s when it took me a minute to understand, but his eyes landed on my breasts before he looked away.
