Page 112 of His Sunshine Baby

“Okay, putting that jerk aside, Elena, what was that thing with that girl, Nora?”

“I don’t know, I had a really weird feeling when I saw her, like déjà vu, you know? As if I knew her from somewhere.”

“That would be weird if she’s from the Jade Moon clan. And they kept her locked in a freaking basement, too? The King is going to wipe the floor with their limbs!”

“Well, I really couldn’t care less about the Jade Moon, but it was already a bloodbath when I got there. Even your boyfriend had a bite, you know. Quite literally.”

“That’s my man,” says Danny with a little smile.

Look at him. He was so unhappy at Boyan not too long ago…

“Danny, I need to see her again.”

“What? That chick, Nora? Elena, she’s the King’s mate, you can’t visit her like you visited Nathaniel, you know? She’s probably going to be watched like the Pope! And after that fight you had, I’m pretty sure your man is not going to watch your ass if you get caught! Moreover, Xavier and Clark are watching you, remember that? Reagan, too! No, no, bad idea babe.”

“But Bobo–”

“Bobo is too busy watching her to even answer my texts! He’s probably guarding that kid all day and night. Not that I’m jealous, but even I wouldn’t be able to get close!”

I frown.

No, I’m pretty sure that’s not impossible. My instincts and my wolf are telling me to see that girl again, and I really need to. I have to figure out the odd feeling that I had with her.

“Babe, your phone.”

I notice my phone’s been vibrating in my bag. I grab it, and frown. Fuck, it’s Nathaniel. Really, what does he want now? I decline. I don’t care what he has to say, I’m certainly not in the mood for it. Daniel, who saw the name too, sighs.

“Damn, you two have one hell of a complicated relationship. I don’t even need to watch TV anymore.”

“Great to know I’m entertaining you.”

“Don’t be angry, babe, you know what I mean. You’ve got a fiery personality, and Black is not making it easy either, okay?”

“I’m so tired of trying to work things out. He even got jealous of Levi, seriously!”

“Well, I can understand that. Levi loves you, you both know it. If he has any kind of feelings for you, he wouldn’t appreciate that you’re passing a guy who has a crush on you as your boyfriend.”

“That was your idea!” I reply, annoyed.

“I know, but I was putting your safety first, okay? Diego is still crazy as fuck. But I also understand Black’s concerns. But guess what? I don’t think you have a choice, and he just doesn’t get that. He doesn’t know how crazy and dangerous Diego is, even if he’s been quiet these days.”

Daniel’s right. I feel like Diego has been too quiet these days, and it’s worrying. I sigh and grab his cup of coffee, tired of the tea, but I frown as soon as I taste it.

“Daniel, you have to stop changing our coffee brands, this one tastes disgusting.”

“No one likes salty coffee, babe. Just leave it, I’ll make you some more tea.”

I sigh and put the cup down. I’m tired and sad. It’s like I’ll never see the end of that black hole of a relationship with Nate. I close my eyes, letting out a big sigh.

“You know Danny, maybe you were right. Maybe I should have never accepted his deal in the first place.”

“Okay, do I have to answer that, or will an ‘I told you so’ suffice?” he says with a smirk.

I growl at him, a bit pissed. He comes back with my lemon-flavored tea. Damn, that smells a whole lot better.

“All right, babe. You know what, let’s do this. You cool down for a few days and focus on school and training. Ignore Black, give him a taste of his own medicine, and see how he reacts.Meanwhile, I’ll try to get a hold of my man, and find out more about that Nora girl, okay?”

“Fine. But I want to ask Reagan.”
