Twenty-three: Nora Connolly She hadn’t been trapped for very long. But with all of Mordred’s talk about trying to marry her off, she didn’t like the idea of being left alone. She didn’t know who she could trust anymore. What she did know was that Roman was her mate. The future Alpha. And powerful enough to keep anyone at bay that might try and hurt her. That was what Nora needed. She had always run whenever she was in danger before. But for the first time in her life, there was someone to keep her safe.

“I know. And I won’t let that happen. We’ll get through this. The twins… they need her. I need her. And somehow, she’s going to make it through this. She has to.” Mrs. Rodriguez’s chest heaved, a sob catching in her throat. “Every time… everything gets so hard. I can’t… I can’t stand the thought of losing her.” “You won’t,” Daniel said firmly. “She’s strong. She’s smart. And she’s got us—me, you, the twins. We’ll fight with her. Whatever it takes.” FLASHBACK - TWO YEARS AGO Daniel stood in the doorway of the hotel room, watching Katherina unbutton her blouse. She was still married to his brother Damien. This was wrong. This was betrayal.

' thought Nora as she headed straight for the waiting room. Nora's flight was in an hour. Nora had turned off her mobile phone and chose to read a novel by her favourite author. The novel told the story of the adventures of three people in various parallel worlds. This work was the second part of the previous work. Just by reading the novel, she felt like she was in another world and forgot for a moment what was happening to her at the moment. She seemed to be immersed in her own world of reading. Meanwhile, at the Torrence family mansion, Vivian, Adam's mother, was engrossed in reading a magazine in the living room. There was tea and freshly baked cookies on the table.

“You’ve rumpled and dirtied my clothes.” I straightened immediately. I stood up from the ground, trying to collect what remained of my dignity. My ceremonial dress felt like it was strangling me. I bent down and yanked off my heels one by one, throwing them aside. Killian watched the whole thing, still grinning like this was the most entertainment he’d had in months. Alpha energy radiated from him in waves, making my wolf pace restlessly inside me. “So the bride is making a run for it, huh?” His voice was lazy, teasing. “Don’t want to show how gentlemanly your future mate is?”

I didn’t trust banks. I was so lost in thought that I barely noticed someone slide into the booth across from me. “Hi,” the stranger said brightly. I blinked. “Hello?” “I’m Mary,” she said, extending her hand. I shook it automatically while studying her. She looked… average. Brown hair, neat nails, nice purse, friendly smile. But her eyes weren’t friendly. They were calculating. “What’s your name?” she asked. I crossed my arms. “Do we know each other?”

he finishes. "I'm sorry about your wife," my voice solemn. The imagery of Orpheus and Eurydice, suddenly making sense. My heart fills with sorrow at his loss. He must have loved her very much. "I named our daughter after her. Little Eurydice has her mother's spirit. An old fashion nursemaid will try to break her. A Roman Senator's daughter must be subservient to her father's will, then when she's older, to her husband's wishes. I won't let that happen. She will make a love match. Just like I did. Therefore, I need a nursemaid that will nurture her properly and will allow her to grow. And to be strong." Brixtius turns and starts walking down the corridor; little Eurydice ran down.

“Doesn’t this make you happy? After everything… after we’ve lost whatever we had, I actually fell for you.” Nora steadied herself, her shock fading. Her gaze turned cool again, laced with mockery. “And what’s that worth, Travis? Your so-called feelings… are they supposed to be some kind of prize?” This time it was him who couldn’t answer. “Six years ago, the Yates dragged me back out of nowhere,” she continued, her voice calm but cutting. “I married you without even knowing who half of them were. Do you have any idea what I felt going into that marriage? Or the despair that finally drove me to give it up? You think I divorced you just so you could eventually start liking me?”

Nora felt sad because after she died, Liam would be left alone in the world. She didn’t want to leave him. She wanted to witness a future with him. Liam hurriedly carried Nora into the car and sped towards the hospital. “Please, stay with me, baby,” Liam said hoarsely.
