Page 169 of His Sunshine Baby

“Cousin? I don’t really like it. Let’s call each other sisters instead.”

I’ve already been calling her that in my head for a while now, though I didn’t want to admit it. It sounds a bit too cheesy.

“Sister? … I like that.”

“All right. I’m still the older sister, though.”

“I’m fine with having an older sister! Anyway, Elena, how are you and…”

I sigh. Nowhere! I’m still stuck at home and Nathaniel’s stuck with the Blood Moon clan. I try to change the topic instead.

“How about you and the King instead? You didn’t even tell me how you made up.”

“Oh… Well, we… discussed it, and sorted out our differences?”

I can feel she’s blushing and acting all shy. My gosh, Nora is so freaking cute at times!

“So, all good?”

“Um. I guess. He will cancel the engagement… and announce me as his mate…”

“Way to go, girl! Nora, I’m happy for you!”

And jealous, too. Nora doesn’t have a whole clan holding her back from announcing her relationship to the world. I wish I could say the same.

Suddenly, the mind-link is cut, and I can tell she’s talking to someone else. I finish preparing my drink and go back to the salon where the boys are waiting for me, both visibly upset.

“Clark left,” says Danny, stating the obvious.

“He said he’s sorry, Elena. Also, he will talk to the elders, see if he can’t do anything. I think he’s really regretting what he said and did.”

I nod at Levi’s words, but I don’t have anything to add. This stupid fight has exhausted me, for real. The brothers exchange a look, unsure, until Daniel asks.

“Okay, babe, so, what’s next?”

“For now, I’ll wait and see until Clark officially kicks me out. I am not changing my mind. As soon as I can leave this house and move without risking my baby’s life, I’m talking to Nathaniel.”

“And Reagan?” asks Levi.

I think for a second. Sylviana said Reagan was back on the territory, and it’s high time we have a good talk.

I take a deep breath and use my wolf to focus on finding her. Reagan may be good at ignoring me, but she’s from my pack too, from the Blue Moon. She can’t hide forever or shut out my voice.

“Reagan, we need to talk.”

“Leave me alone, kid. I got bigger fish to–”

“More important than the Blue Moon clan?”

There’s a long silence; she’s stopped answering. I can feel that she’s on the move. Is she finally coming? I can tell our mind-link is thin, she is probably still far up in the North Forest. After a long while, several hours later actually, we finally hear some loud knocking on the door. How far was she? I exchange a look with Daniel, who goes to open.

“Where the hell did you hear that name?” asks Reagan, visibly shocked and sweating.

“Why would I tell you? Do you ever tell me anything?” I reply back, pissed.

She growls.

“Don’t play with me, kid. Even Clark doesn’t know of that name, so how…”
