She smiled to herself while urging Nora to exit via the window, as it was merely a few feet to the ground. Ensured the window was closed before to their departure. They traversed the exterior of the packhouse and entered through the mudroom. She established a mental connection with both Dani and Margaret over the idea, eliciting laughter from each of them. It appeared that they were present. The four individuals convened at the cinema.

Returning home to the pack was undoubtedly beneficial; Luke had departed to participate in a security briefing with his unit and the warriors. She observed that Alpha Tomas and his unit were also present. Dismissed it, recognised that new protocols were being established due to her experience. She did not anticipate such an occurrence among the pack, however she recognised that Luke was unwilling to compromise her safety.
She was no longer required to attend training, hence she was exempt from rising for it. That was pleasant. Had certainly acclimated to sleeping in when not present with the group. I no longer like rising at 5 AM and was exceedingly irritable about it; I was not alone in this sentiment. Even Tyler disliked awakening at such an early hour and was as irritable about it as she was. Luke had acquired the wisdom to refrain from interfering with her.
They had returned three days ago, and Maya’s scholarship had been sanctioned. The girl was enthusiastic and had departed with her mother this morning to visit the university in Rochester, to get new books and prepare for the commencement of her studies in three weeks, although she desired to have a head start on the curriculum.
They were provided with a pack car for their stay and were presently utilising it to prepare Maya for her initial classes. The commute was lengthy, however she was content with only being acknowledged. Elena utilised the time to examine buildings and held a meeting with a purported florist retailer to explore the possibility of investing in her own store. The meeting is scheduled for next week; nonetheless, they urged her by phone to begin searching for a location suitable for a floral shop.
It seemed that all matters concerning the Martinez women were aligning favourably. Macky devoted much time to Nora, sharing all meals, and subsequently, beyond her usual work hours, they would socialise. He had to take her, along with her sister and mother, to acquire warmer attire.
All had been introduced to his family and saw their warm hospitality; Macky’s parents were genuinely kind and expressed pleasure in meeting Nora, whom they found delightful.
The children were playing with Halley, while Bella sat with Margaret, Dani, and Nora. The adults were enjoying coffee and cake while the children engaged in a self-invented game. They were not the sole children at the third-floor coffee hub; there were around six other children of similar age accompanying them.
Nora remained astonished by the vastness of the establishment, particularly the expansive dining area located downstairs, which was available for everybody to utilise at no cost. Bella had informed her that she was within the Cupper Corporation Headquarters, where all employees were entitled to complimentary meals at their convenience.
One of the advantages of staying here was complimentary healthcare. Maya had already visited the pack hospital after slipping on ice down the front stairs of the packhouse, resulting in a sprained ankle that necessitated treatment.
Nora feared it would exacerbate her mother’s financial pressure. However, I have been informed that no one here has compensated for medical treatment. The firm fully funded it to demonstrate the boss’s concern for his employees’ health and well-being. Consequently, they established a dedicated hospital on the corporate premises.
Maya was unable to walk there that day. Macky had lifted her, but Nora appeared displeased, exhibiting jealousy based on what she had overheard.
Maya smiled sweetly at Macky and fluttered her eyelashes, leading him to believe she was attempting to flirt with him, despite his disapproval.
Lanky swiftly intervened and removed her from Macky, resulting in Nora’s silence for an entire day thereafter.
Macky attempted to persuade her that he held no interest in her younger sister. That he genuinely had exclusive affection for her. Nora seems to lack belief in him. It is evident that an undisclosed matter existed between the sisters.
She had observed Maya scrutinising Macky upon their initial arrival in L.A. Nora’s anxiety was evident, despite his own dismissal of the matter. Although she had no cause for concern, her demeanour regarding Macky changed; she became aloof and taciturn in Maya’s presence. She may have believed he would prefer Maya to her.
Bella attempted to discuss the matter with her but was rebuffed.
