"Norman, what are you doing?" I snapped, already pissed.

"Nothing. It’s just academy stuff. They need me," he muttered, avoiding my eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" I pressed, watching him nonstop, blinking constantly.

"Kaye is catching up with our car. He’ll take over my place while I head back home. There’s some stuff they need me for," he explained, still not giving me a full glance. That made me feel so awkward.

"Norman, if there’s something I should know, you should tell me right now," I hissed, turning in my seat to look at him, but he kept staring straight ahead.

"It’s something I need to deal with first. Please, can you trust me?" he finally said, meeting my eyes.

Then the car stopped, and I knew Kaye’s car had pulled up in front of us.

"Please take care of yourself. I’ll meet you soon." Norman held my hand and kissed the back of it before leaning down and kissing my lips passionately.

I was confused and lost. What was going on? Where did he have to go so urgently? But I didn’t ask. He asked me to trust him. How could I question him now?

And with that, he was out of the car. Kaye got out of his and walked toward his brother. They hugged before Norman climbed into his car. Kaye came over to me, wearing a black leather jacket, and slid into the seat beside me.

"How are you?" he asked, gently pinching my chin.

"Fine," I replied, suddenly feeling shy because he kept smirking.

"I heard you were able to take revenge on Niles, and you put him behind bars. I’m proud of you," Kaye said as he adjusted his jacket.

I watched Norman’s car leave, and my attention shifted back to Kaye.

"Thank you," I replied again.

I guess Kaye noticed, because he turned to me and tilted his head. "Don’t worry, you know my brother would never cheat on you."

His words made me instantly straighten my back. "Of course I know, I wasn’t thinking about that," I lied. I was thinking about everything. Call it my pregnancy hormones, but I was going crazy.

After a few seconds of silence, I scooted closer to Kaye and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt his body tense up before he gently held my hand, his fingers tangling with mine, and rested his cheek on my head.

"I can’t wait to see their faces," Kaye said, making me smile.

Deep down though, I felt uneasy. Seeing her again would remind me of Salem. And even though we pretended life was normal, there were still moments when we all mentioned her. We lost a good one.

We arrived at the main mansion, and Kaye held the door open for me as I stepped out of the car. The warriors outside instantly bowed, though they looked confused, probably wondering why we were here. The doors were opened for us without any questions. They all knew me, knew I was the new Alpha Queen, so they let me in. I could also tell they weren’t very fond of the new Alpha, because no one even tried to fetch him or let him know the Alpha Queen had arrived. Their obliviousness showed how careless they had become.

I found Sydney in the living room with bags of chips, a movie playing on the TV, and alcohol bottles scattered around her.

"What is going on? Why is there so much noise?" Sydney shouted. Her back was to me, so she didn’t see we had come in.

A warrior rushed forward to inform her, but before he could speak, she waved her hand at him. "Didn’t I tell you to fuck off? Do you not listen to the Alpha of your pack?" she screamed, and that’s when I realized they had already crowned her as the Alpha of the pack.

"Well, you did ask your warrior to let you know what the commotion was about," I said. "He was just answering your question."

As soon as I spoke, she jumped, tossing the bag of chips to the floor and knocking a bowl of popcorn off her lap as she leapt to her feet. She turned to me, her eyes widening. She blinked a few times, probably trying to confirm she was really seeing me, before finally regaining control of her body and mind. She gulped and straightened her shoulders.

"What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to inform someone before showing up?" she hissed, throwing me attitude.
