I don’t like the sadistic smile he has on now, and I can see Elisabeth has started shaking. And it’s not my “former” Clan, I’m still part of the Jade Moon, it seems! But Liam doesn’t care; he’s having fun right now. He is intentionally scaring her and using his aura. I don’t like how he is cruelly making fun of her.
“Liam, stop it!”
He stops but gives me an annoyed look, like a kid who just got his favorite toy confiscated. Idon’t care. I point my index at the door, ignoring that pissed teen attitude of his.
“If you’re going to make things difficult, you can wait for me outside.”
“Tsk... Weakling.” He growls while exiting the bar.
Elisabeth seems to relax as soon as he’s out.
“Nora, who is this guy? And how can you not be scared! I had to fight all I can to keep myself seated; my wolf was going nuts with this guy here.”
Now that I think about it, it’s true I should have been just as scared as she was. But I’ve never been really affected by an Alpha’s aura. Vincent, Nathaniel, Liam, none of them intimidated me. Only Damian could scare me, but only when he was furious. And now even his little brother could make a grown wolf shiver so much within seconds?
I, indeed, must have some immunity of some sort because of my mate. I don’t know how to explain what happened any other way.
“Don’t mind him, he’s just a... friend.”
And Liam Black, my mate ‘s youngest brother, but that I won’t tell her. I feel like I’m desperately trying to prevent two worlds from colliding. I run my fingers through my hair, trying to relax a little. This is way too much information for me to take all at once. I sigh and take a sip of my soda, but Elisabeth can barely contain herself.
“Now, will you tell me? I’m dying here, girl! You’ve been away for weeks!”
“Sorry, Liz. I... Someone attacked me, and I was taken to the hospital. I stayed there a full month, and then a friend took me in.”
She looks at me suspiciously, apparently disappointed by my lousy explanation. So far, I didn’t say anything that wasn’ttrue. I just made sure not to mention any names. Even if he’s outside, I’m pretty sure Liam can still hear us, and I don’t want him to hear anything bad that could reach Damian’s ears. Elisabeth ponders for a while, then points an index at me. I’ve seen her do that before. She is about to fire all her questions at once.
“Who attacked you?”
“I don’t know,” I lie.
“How did you escape?”
“My friends intervened just in time. They chased my attacker away and took me to a hospital.”
“How long? In the hospital, how long did you stay there?” She asks.
“About a month. I was in a coma for a few days, and they asked me to rest after that.”
“And now, where are you staying?”
“I told you... at a friend’s place, in the city.”
“A friend?”
I know she won’t believe me, simply because I never had any friends. Not until I met Tonia and Bobo, and Elisabeth knows that. I sigh, annoyed by this endless examination.
“Listen, Liz, I just happened to meet some good people, okay?”
“People who gave you branded clothes...” She mutters.
I see her thinking, and she looks at me suddenly, with a big, excited smile.
“Oh, Moon Goddess, Nora, you have a Sugar Daddy!?”
“What? No! Are you crazy!”
Moon Goddess, how can she say such things? I’m bright red from the embarrassment, and her stupid idea is really vexing! Elisabeth knows I’m a virgin; she used to make fun of me for it! I’m not even sure about what a Sugar Daddy reallyis! That is so humiliating, I can’t help but growl at her when she starts laughing out loud.
