Page 35 of His Blue Moon Princess

“Could you accompany me?” I ask Liam.

“Sure. But I warn you, if those guys do anything to you, I won’t let it slide. I was at the hospital when the doc examined you. I’m not dumb. And trust me, you should be glad it’s me rather than one of my brothers.”

“I know. I just need to settle things with them.”

“Okay, then. Don’t be a weakling.”

But instead of heading for the door, he goes behind the bar and starts undressing. Once he’s naked, he stuffseverything inside his school bag and changes to his wolf form. His transformation is extremely quick.

The youngest Black brother has a somewhat standard size for a wolf, but his big paws indicate he might not have reached his final size yet. He is dark, but not just black. He has some dark brown-red hair here and there, on the collar and below his ears. He comes up to me and gives me his backpack, and I turn back to Elisabeth.

“Okay, let’s go, then.”

Elisabeth gives me a happy smile and comes with us, closing the bar behind her.

I am in a terrible state of nervousness. If Liam wasn’t walking beside me, I might have turned around already. We walk up until we can finally see the main house. I know the Jade Moon members can already smell us if they are in their wolf form, and there are always some guarding the area.

As expected, as soon as we approach, several wolves start following us, growling with a menacing tone. But most of them recognize Elisabeth and me, and no one approaches us. I suppose they are most cautious of Liam, who is a stranger, stepping on their turf. But he just keeps walking by my side, ignoring them.

“Alpha is coming,” says Elisabeth next to me.

She probably is talking with some of them telepathically right now. I wish I could, too. I wonder what everyone is saying right now. We are a few meters away from the main house when I stop. I don’t want to come in, and Vincent is coming anyway. He looks stunned, and his eyes keep switching between the black wolf now sitting at my feet and me. Liam acts like he doesn’t care, patiently waiting, but I can tell he is watching what’s going on very closely. Peter comesout right after Vince, and Liam growls lowly as they approach us.

He lets out a menacing bark when they’re a few steps away, and they stop, aware it’s a warning. Vincent looks at me, dumbfounded.

“Nora... I really didn’t recognize you from afar. What happened? We looked for you!”

Did they really? Damian mentioned Alec as soon as my brother was spotted looking for me, but I realize now that I haven’t heard from the Jade Moon Clan at all. Moreover, since Damian and Nathaniel were actively looking for which Clan I came from, I doubt they would have missed people asking around for me. The Jade Moon most likely already considered me dead and didn’t bother to check.

“Hello, Alpha. Beta.” I salute without averting my eyes. “Sorry I disappeared. Lots of things happened.”

“Lots of things? Nora, you better have a good explanation for why you were gone for...”

But before Peter finishes his sentence, Liam is growling loudly beside me, and everyone understands he’s most likely warning him to watch his words. Peter glares at the black wolf and turns to me.

“Who is this?”

“A friend.”

“From which Clan, Nora?”

I hesitate. Is it okay to reveal my new connection to the Blood Moon Clan now? I’m not sure if it’s a good thing to do. After all, I have no official connection to them yet, and I’m not supposed to be here either. Neither is Liam. Will Damian be mad if he knows? I don’t care about the Jade Moon, but I would rather not take chances with him. I decide to ignore Peter’s question and turn to Vincent.

“You exiled Alec?”

“Yes, about a month ago. Your brother had become too troublesome. He stole from his Beta and kept borrowing money from everyone. Peter confronted him, and we decided to banish him.”

“Do you know where he is now?”

“I don’t know, and I couldn’t care less. But you are not in a position to ask questions now, Nora. We need to discuss this. Come in.”

They turn around and start walking to go to the main house, but I don’t move. I am not going into that house ever again. I feel like I will be back in prison if I take a single step closer. Next to me, Liam hasn’t moved either, but he is still growling at the other wolves circling us. Now I realize this situation is not so good either. I may have decided to not give in anymore, but that won’t hold Vincent from getting mad at me. What if he decides to punish me and attacks us? Liam is probably very strong since he is the Headhunter of his pack, but he is alone, and I can’t shift.

I exchange a glance with the black wolf, he doesn’t seem worried one bit.

“What are you waiting for?” Growls Vincent. “I said come in.”

“We can discuss from here.”
