28-Making Friends With His Ex

Nor

“A girl pulling a girl down just out of jealousy is the most ugliest quality a woman can attain, the man hissed, making me look around and then steadily point a finger at myself to confirm he was talking about me. And who the f**k was he anyway?

“He’s my father” Daphne must have noticed the confused look on my face when the man kept advancing towards me.

Then tell your father to step back, I’m Alpha King’s daughter,” I suddenly straightened my back and announced, observing the people around Nash, who hadn’t clearly heard when Daphne introduced me in a hushed tone. She urged for Nash to glare me down through her miserable stare.

Nash grunted and blinked his eyes with force. Did they really think they could mistreat me and get away with it?

“My brother will stand up for me if anybody dared disrespect me again,” I added, making everyone look at Nash. I knew Nash would hate being seen as incapable of protecting his stepsister.

“Mr. Ford Ledger!” Finally, after stroking Nash’s ego, he stood up and confronted the man. “Nora only spoke the truth. Your daughter was in my brother’s studio, and she never denied it,” of course, Nash hadn’t forgotten that his girlfriend had been to his brother’s studio. The same brother who was notorious for stripping off she-wolves whoever stepped into his studio. That made me tense up.

I recalled how he had spoken to me as well. Not to mention, I’d be stuck with him the next time he was babysitting me.

“I only went there to- Daphne stopped talking when her father turned to glare at her. Her father looked younger up close. He had dirty blond hair and hazel eyes, not like hers. She was a red- haired, blue-eyed girl,

“Fine, my apologies, Ford said to me from behind Nash’s

shoulder. “I’m Nash Ford. I’m the royal **a of the pack. We might have met if you had come to the welcome event that was organized for you,” his tone was taunting even as he introduced himself to me.

“I wasn’t feeling well that night,” I hated making excuses, especially when the person responsible for my absence was no longer interested in the conversation and had moved on to taking off his shirt.

“Eh? That’s not what we were told,” Mr. Ford mumbled, his eyes demanding eye contact, but my attention had drifted to Nash.

His muscular body was on display, and even though it wasn’t the first time I had seen him shirtless, the shock was the same as before, I couldn’t get over how strongly built he was.

Their attention shifted away from me when a group of warriors brought someone to the ring. I stepped aside as Nash and Mr. Ford took charge of the situation. He was helping Nash put on his boxing gloves while Daphne had moved closer to me.

“You’re his stepsister; you shouldn’t meddle in his affairs. I can see he’s not very excited like your other brothers about having you around. It’d be best if you don’t try to interfere with me. We can actually get along, and I can help Nash warm up to you,” she

kept her voice lowered so nobody else would overhear I turned to her and studied her face for a homent before grunting

“Didn’t he break up with you?” I uired, and she frowned.

“No! I’m his ride-or-die. We argue but we never split. My father is his mentor He’s been training him since Nash was just 7, and my father was also in his teen years” she paused when she noticed a frown forming on my forehead

“He’s my stepfather” she rolled her eyes, “anyway we can be friends. You back me up, and Pll type you up.” She extended her hand, and after pondering for a njoment, I figured it didn’t sound like a bad idea to shake hands with her

If my brothers’ girlfriends like me my brothers will eventually come around too. So, I shook hands with her, but that’s when the announcement began, and Daphne left me behind to ge support Nash

“Tonight, we’ve got the a**hole of a roque who tried to cross our border,” Mr. Ford grunted as he gestured towards a burly

man.

“He was kicked out once because he posed a threat to kids” her father added, and everyone began hurling some vicious insults at him.

“Tonight, our alpha Nash, the future alpha King, will give him a reason to never want to come back to this pack again,” once the announcement was made, Mr. Ford shouted, and soon the twe were left in the ring.

I focused on the red ribbon on the roque’s ankle.

“What does that ribbon signify?” I asked Daphne, moving closer to her as all the chanting and screaming gave me a headache.

“It means the rogue was electrocuted for a few minutes. That means he’s stronger than most werewolves and has a hunger for power,” she responded before raising her hands in the air to cheer for Nash, adding, “and blood.”

Goosebumps covered my body as I turned around to see what was happening.

The rogue attacked Nash first. He was grunting and screaming.

His loud screams made me tremble somehow. I covered my ears and stepped back, but someone pushed me forward again. The crowd was going crazy, and nobody was allowed to leave.

Nash dodged his hit and punched him in the ribs, which made the rogue scream even louder, almost causing me to lose my balance.

Then Nash went wild on him. He started pummelling him until his skin started to tear open, and blood began to pour out.

“I can’t watch this anymore,” I gulped, feeling nauseous. The rogue’s screams were what brought tears to my eyes.

“Let me go!” I couldn’t leave, so I closed my eyes and screamed at the top of my lungs.

When I opened my eyes, everyone was staring at me in shock.

For a moment, I even distracted Nash, who had turned his back on the rogue and was watching me when the rogue snuck up on him and punched him in the back of the neck.

“Nooooo!” I screamed as I realized it was my fault

The next thing we knew, the rogue was pounding him, not giving him a moment to get back on his feet.
