บททั้งหมดของ Nora: Rejected Lost Princess : บทที่ 211 - บทที่ 220

Griffin POV My body went rigid. What I saw couldn't be real. Nora, vulnerable Nora grabbed the rogue wolf by the scruff with bare hands and flung him away like a rag or paper. The beast yelped, crashing into a tree trunk with a sickening crack. The remaining rogues circled her, fangs raised, claw sharp, but hesitation now clear in their movements. Nora stood, blood dripping from her torn sleeve, but she didn't seem to notice. Her lips pulled back in a snarl that looked wrong on her human face. Then she lunged at the closest wolf. Her movements weren't human. She twisted with impossible speed, ducking under snapping jaws and driving her fist into the rogue's ribs. Bones crunched. The wolf howled. I wondered what was going on. My eyes and mouth remained wise open in amazement. She grabbed another by the throat, fingers digging into fur until blood seeped between them. The wolf thrashed, claws raking her arms, but Nora didn't flinch. She squeezed until something gave way with a w

Carlos POVI lay awake, staring at the ceiling of our bedroom as Nora slept beside me. Her breathing had finally steadied, but the memory of what had happened earlier still haunted me."Karen... Karen, please..." she had murmured, her voice desperately pleading.I had been drifting off when her voice cut through the darkness. At first, I thought she was talking to me, but as my mind cleared, I realized she was still asleep. Her face was tense, brows furrowed as if in pain or concentration.That name again. Karen.It wasn't the first time I'd heard it on her lips during sleep. For weeks now, this Karen had been appearing in Nora's dreams. Each time, I said nothing, hoping it was going to stop. I stood there, watching Nora sleep, her chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. But my mind was elsewhere, replayed on the words she had whispered in her sleep severally."Karen..." The name had slipped out so softly, yet it had struck me like a thunderclap. I hadn't reacted then, didn

It's been days, searching for the spy who was working with the sorcerer. It seemed like my search was over since the spy was staring at me in the face right now. "She still doesn't suspect anything," the spy said, voice clear in the still night air.I hid still as I listened to the conversation between the snitch and the sorcerer. "Good," the sorcerer replied. "And Carlos?""Completely distracted by her dreams. He thinks she's hiding something romantic. Men are so predictable." Her laugh was bitter. "When do I get what you promised?""When we have the girl. The dealer isn't interested in half-measures. You said it was romantic?"The spy nodded," Yes, Sorceress. She always mentioned a name in her dreams. I think Karen-”I felt a jolt listening to the spy mentioning my name. Does this mean Nora still remembers me? An overwhelming emotion swirled all over me, yet it disappeared as quickly as it came. Who was I kidding? No

NORA'S POV I was still trying to process everything Griffin had told me. My entire world had shifted in a matter of hours. I picked up my phone to research about lycans. I sat on my desk as I began to scroll through my phone. Different types of lycans and what they were capable of. "A bloodline of powerful lycans," I muttered. The words on the screen blurred together as I searched through obscure mythology sites and forums dedicated to supernatural lore. Most of it seemed like fantasy, but after what Griffin had revealed, I couldn't dismiss any of it outright.I pushed away from my desk and walked to the storage closet where I'd stashed my mother's belongings after she died. I hadn't been able to part with them, but couldn't bear looking at them every day either. Now they might hold answers I desperately needed.I pulled out several cardboard boxes and began methodically going through them. Old clothes, books, kitchen items— nothing unusual. Then I reached the last box, tucked i

NORA'S POV "I can't just leave," I told Griffin, my voice steadier than I felt. "Carlos is my not just my mate. We are married with kids, Griffin. With kids." Griffin moved closer to me. He did it like a reflex, and each time he got close enough, he pause before getting too close for comfort. "Nora, think about it. If Carlos truly cared for you as a mate should, why keep so much from you? Why let you stumble blindly through life, never knowing who or what you truly are?"I knew that Carlos would not just lie to me. He must have his reasons for doing so. I could not just leave him because of that. I hoped to be able to convince Griffin, even though his offer was tempting. "Maybe he was afraid," I countered, though doubt was beginning to creep in. "Afraid of losing me if I knew the truth. Afraid of something else. Perhaps, just trying to protect me." Griffin shook his head. "It goes deeper than that. Carlos has been actively w
