| marched straight up to her and spat in her face. She recoiled, wiping the spit off with the back of her hand. She looked at me with pure disgust.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“If | find out you had anything to do with my brother’s death, | will personally chop your head off,” | said, my voice shaking with rage.

“You are not his sister,” Emily said, her eyes cold and calculating. “Harry, get her out of here,” | ordered.

Harry grabbed her by the arm and began to drag her from the room. She struggled, but he was too strong. “You can’t do this,” she screamed.

| walked numbly back to our room, and Aisha pulled me into a tight embrace. | buried my face in her chest and sobbed, the grief and anger pouring out of me.

“He wanted to come home,” | said, my voice raw with emotion. “And then he was killed, just like that.”

Aisha didn’t say anything, just held me close as | cried, her fingers gently stroking my hair. After a while, my sobs began to quiet, and | pulled away, my eyes red and swollen. Aisha looked at me with such compassion and concern.

“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice etched with concern.

“| don’t know,” | said, sinking onto the bed. “I don’t know if | can ever be okay again.” | thought of the years of separation, of everything | had missed, all the time that had been stolen from us.

“| always wished that one day we would be able to reunite, to catch up on all the things we had missed. And now...” My voice trailed off, my throat tight with emotion.

“Shh! You will be fine,” she said, her voice pulling soothing.

“You can heal,” Aisha said, her voice soft but firm. “It will take time, but you can heal. And we will be here for you, every step, | promise.” She muttered, pulling me into a hug.

As | hugged Aisha, my memories of my brother came flooding back. We used to play together, our wolf forms tearing through the forest, racing each other. He was always. faster, his wolf stronger than mine. And he never let me forget it, always teasing me

But | had always admired him, had always looked up to him. | let out a soft, sad laugh. as | remembered him, and Aisha pulled back to look at me.

“What is it?” she asked.

“| was just remembering when my brother and | used to play,” | said, a bittersweet smile on my face. Aisha stood up and poured me a glass of water. | reached for it, but before | could bring it to

my lips, the door burst open. Alpha Kex strode in, his expression unreadable.

His hands were clasped behind his back, and he looked from Aisha to me. Aisha bowed her head, giving him a deferential nod before slipping out of the room, leaving me alone with the Alpha.

The tension in the air was thick, almost suffocating. Alpha Kex’s gaze was unwavering.

| felt compelled to break the silence. “Please, you don’t have to treat me any differently,” | said, my voice quiet but firm. “I’m still Nelly, and | don’t need to be treated like some kind of delicate flower. | can take care of myself.”

Still, he said nothing. | raised my head to meet his gaze, and | saw nothing but impenetrable steel. He didn’t move, didn’t speak, simply looked at me with an intensity that left me breathless. | took a sip of water, trying to calm my racing heart.

“Sorry,” he said, and | nearly choked on my water.

He rushed to my side, patting me on the back as | coughed and spluttered.

“Are you okay?” he asked, his eyes full of concern. | nodded, my hand raised in a gesture to show I was fine. “I'm so sorry,” he apologized again. | nodded, taking a deep breath to calm my racing

heart.

“You shouldn't apologize,” | said softly. “| wasn’t offended by anything you said before.”

He cleared his throat, his gaze fixed on the floor. “I was just... trying to do what | thought my late beta would have wanted. | never knew it was all a lic.”

I gave him a weak smile. “My late brother would be happy knowing how much you. cared about him. And | know he would understand why you believed her.”

He nodded, his expression pensive. “I just wish | had known sooner,” he said, his voice heavy with regret. [e) 80%)

“May | go to the place where my brother was buried?” | asked.

“Of course,” Alpha Kex replied. “Why wouldn't you be able to?”

| took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. “I want to go now,” | muttered, my tune firm. anda

| stood up and went to the bedroom to change. | picked out a simple black gown scarf to cover my hair. | changed quickly and then came out to find Alpha Kex had disappeared.

“Where did he go?” | wondered aloud. | looked around, but there was no sign of him.

| was about to open the door when Alpha Kex walked in. He was dressed all in black, his face grim and serious. “Ready?” he asked. | nodded, and we joined hands as we stepped outside..

The air was crisp, the sun was dim. | stared out the window as we drove, lost in my thoughts.

Along the way, we stopped at a florist’s shop and picked up some flowers. As we drove, | began to tremble with emotion. When we reached the graveside, | knelt down and placed the flowers before the headstone.

“Hey brother,” | said, my voice quavering. “Little Nelly is here.” Tears welled up in my eyes as | spoke. “I never imagined I’d be talking to you like this. | guess you are now with mama and papa,” | continued, the words catching in my throat. “Astel, my mate, rejected me.” Alpha Kex placed a hand on my shoulder, and | looked up and bittersweet smile.

“Guess who he rejected me for?” | said, my voice laced with bitterness. “Shantel.” | let out a bitter laugh, and Alpha Kex’s hand tightened on my shoulder. “The good thing is, Aisha is still with me,” | continued. “She’s more than a best friend. She’s like a sister. She even rejected her mate to come here with me. We heard that Kex was a ruthless man, and she wanted to make sure he didn’t hurt me even though she wasn’t powerful. | miss all of you, Why....did...”

My voice trailed off as the tears flowed freely. | was unable to speak, my words trapped. in my throat. | simply stood there, tears flowing down my face. Alpha Kex gently helped me to my feet, and | found myself sobbing uncontrollably. He pulled me into a tight hug, and | clung to him, my tears soaking his shirt.
