Page 159 of His Sunshine Baby

“I’m the one ignoring Nate so I don’t have to tell him I’m pregnant before Clark decides to throw my ass in the street or not! So I kind of understand what Boyan is going through!”

“Who knows if he really is working? Hm? Have you heard from him? Or Nora?”

I roll my eyes. Daniel is a fucking drama queen when he is in one of his jealous episodes. At least it’s better than watching TV.

“Daniel, stop the insecurity episode right now. Boyan is gay for you, like literally. He makes you breakfast every time he’s here!”

“Carlo made breakfast too, and he still cheated on me!”

“Yeah, I remember, his coffee was disgusting. But Boyan is cute, nice, and caring. So now, can you grab that stupid smartphone of yours to order my pizza or do I have to get up?”

“That’s a different matter. With Juan, anyway, I…”

“Elena…?”

I frown. Was that Nora? I can barely recognize her voice. What’s wrong with her?

“Nora? Nora, why are you crying, are you okay? What’s wrong?”

“Elena, can I come to your place? I have nowhere to go.”

Nowhere to go? Isn’t she staying at that place the King bought her? Boyan told us it was a huge penthouse and all.

“What? But what about your…”

“… I’m not going back there.”

Something happened. I can tell in her voice. Her wolf’s crying, whimpering loudly. It almost makes me want to cry too, our bond is so strong.

“Okay, okay. Do you know where you are? We will come and get you, okay?”

She gives me the name of some restaurant, and I recognize it immediately, I ate there with Nate before. I get up to grab my coat under Daniel’s surprised eyes.

“What are you doing?”

“Grab the car keys, we are going to the Blood Moon territory.”

“No, we are not! Why would we–?”

“Nora needs me. Danny, we are going or I’m going alone.”

He opens his mouth to protest but realizes I’m serious as hell.

“Oh, damn you, woman!”

We get ready in a hurry, and that walk to the car is probably the longest I’ve taken in days, but Moon Goddess, it feels great! Daniel insists I get in the back, and I don’t protest. It’s pouring outside, but I can feel Nora so intensely. Her sadness seeps into me. What happened to her? What about Boyan? And her mate, the King?

Chapter 21

While we drive to the address, Daniel doesn’t stop saying how we will get in trouble for entering the Blood Moon clan’s territory, but I couldn’t care less. I’m still mind-linking Nora, silently feeling her anger, her sadness, and her distress.

We finally spot Nora, standing under the restaurant’s sign, and Moon Goddess, she looks like a mess. She gets in the car, soaked and crying loudly. Her black hair is stuck to her cheeks, and her makeup is running down her face. And why is she wearing an expensive-looking dress?

“Nora... What happened?” I ask, trying to calm her down.

“Wait, it smells like blood, babe,” says Danny.

I check Nora. Is she injured? She doesn’t look like she was fighting… I finally see her feet.
