Page 107 of His Sunshine Baby

“You wench! You should just shut up and be grateful the Alpha accepted a cursed, damn freak like you! No one wanted—”

But before she could finish, the black wolf jumps at her. I could tell before it started, that girl had no chance. In a couple of minutes, it’s over. What an idiot… Smart werewolves don’t fucking provoke one of the Black brothers! Despite my relationship with Nate, I can never forget how powerful he and his brothers are. That girl was probably blinded by her wrath, but attacking at that moment was clearly suicide.

It’s my first time seeing one of them kill someone, though. It’s the younger brother, but I’m very aware it could have been Nate. I can feel his cold anger from here. He could have killed her exactly as his sibling did.

Next to him, Nora seems shocked, looking at the body in horror. Welcome to the Black brother’s world. I try to step to the side, but I still can’t see her face. I want to get closer, but that’s just when Nate’s voice resonates.

“This was the last time I hear one of you talk like that about Nora ever again. We will leave behind as many corpses as necessary for that.”

I felt that. It’s the same voice he used whenever he was angry. So cold and frightening. I don’t get to hear it often. A typical dominant Alpha warning. That Jade Moon Alpha is such a weakling compared to them. I don’t even understand how he could have mistreated that girl all these years?

Suddenly, another of his wolves attacks. Did I miss something? His attempt is cut short. Another wolf dies right in front of us. Another wolf jumps, right after his death. A female, this time. Moon Goddess, are all the Jade Moon wolves idiots? They are all going to get killed at this rate! I don’t know what they did to that girl, but this is suicide!

This time, Nate is the one to stop her. I barely saw him move. He was so fast! When I look, he is holding that she-wolf by the throat. I know what’s about to happen, and I can’t help it, I close my eyes. I wish I didn’t hear it, either. The horrid sound of bones breaking and death.

“I warned you. Anyone else wants to try me?”

The body falls at his feet. Moon Goddess, I’ve never seen him like this before. I can’t control myself and take a step back.

This isn’t the Nate I know. The sweet, gentle, and patient Nate. This man is Nathaniel Black, the Alpha, angry and impatient.

“Enough, enough, please!” begs the Jade Moon Alpha.

“I have yet to hear any names,” hisses Nate.

“Nathaniel, stop it.”

I’m surprised to hear her speak so familiarly to Nate. And somewhat bitter to hear that, too. How did they become so close? He’s only known her for a few weeks, right?

No, Elena, you idiot, it’s his brother’s mate. What am I thinking…? But I hate to see them look at each other. Moon Goddess, is it because he’s been ignoring me? I can’t believe I became jealous so easily. I have never seen Nate interact with another she-wolf, I think. Not so close, not so familiarly. I try to bury those idiotic feelings, as Nora steps closer to her Alpha. Moon Goddess, why can’t I see her face, I’m too far back!

All the wolves accompanying Nate and her suddenly start growling even louder, intimidating the pitiful Jade Moon clan while she speaks.

“I’m not stopping them because of you. I still hold you responsible for what happened. But this clan needs its Alpha, and I’m done with seeing blood spilled today.”

“From today on, the Blood Moon clan is hostile to the Jade Moon clan,” declares Nathaniel. “Any of you takes one step into our turf, and you will face the consequences.”

Wow, this means huge trouble for them. This is why no one ever gets on the Blood Moon’s bad side. If you’re any kind of werewolf with a brain, you don’t want the strongest and wealthiest clan, which basically controls half the city, for an enemy. Those people are even lucky to still be alive, in my opinion. I bet if it wasn’t for Nora’s words earlier, this place would already be a bloodbath.

“In ten days at dusk, I want this whole pack to come to the East Point Ground. If a single person is missing, no matter the reason, we will hunt them down,” suddenly says Nate. “This is a challenge for the Alpha position.”

What? They want to take full control over the Jade Moon clan? Why would they even bother with a duel? They could wipe them all out here and now, right? I look at their Alpha. He looks like he’s about to vomit…

Nathaniel doesn’t add anything and turns around to leave with Nora.

I finally see them both. Nate sees me too, and the surprise on his face is something else. I know, I shouldn’t be here.

I’m more intrigued by the young woman, though. Damn, she is pretty, but she looks so frail… Her skin is milk-white, and she’s too skinny. But Moon Goddess, her eyes are beautiful. Striking, sapphire-blue eyes, like the night.

As I’m looking at them, a thought comes to my mind.I’ve seen those eyes before.

Why? Why the hell do they seem so familiar… I don’t remember ever seeing Nora before, so how could I feel like this? I wish her wolf had a stronger aura, so I could feel it properly. But it’s like reaching out for a cloud of smoke, it fades before I can touch it. So frustrating!

Nathaniel’s eyes are riveted on me, trying to make sense of me being here. He stays close to Nora, though, accompanying her to a car close by. All the wolves around them quicklydisperse, only Boyan and a few others staying like some security group around Nora. I recognize Tonia, his elder sister, when she shape-shifts back into her human form. She recognized me as well, it seems.

I don’t really care about catching up with Boyan’s sister, though. I’m still confused about that girl, Nora, and I need to talk to Nate. He seems angry at his own brother, though, glaring at the young black wolf the whole time. That’s when I notice Nora is looking at me. For a second, she seems a bit surprised too, but Nate asks her to follow Tonia and soon, she disappears into a car. Did she feel something too?

“Elena.”
