“Did Brianna accomplish that?””
“Primarily, recall that he is dissimilar to you, Nolan,” Ryder admonished him.
“Utterly unacceptable,” Nolan retorted. “She bears numerous bruises, indicating her lack of consent.” Ryder observed as Nolan’s gaze shifted to Maddox.
The man remained unscathed at this juncture. He then turned and gazed directly at Ryder, inquiringly.
“Evidently, no concept.” Stella was betrothed to you, Nolan, employed to assist in her retrieval.
“Obtain?””
“By her biological father.”
Nolan scowled at this moment. Ryder was aware that Nolan had conversed with the woman’s father at least once and had encountered him at her sister’s wedding. All reports indicated that it should have been evident to her father that Nolan was her boyfriend or, at the very least, her fiancé.
Nolan, you may handle her father as you deem appropriate. However, if either of these two individuals dies or goes missing. Stella may…
Stella is well. Brianna has disclosed all information to her. She genuinely desired to see Oscar and readily accepted him, in fact.
That astonished all present in the room. Ryder felt elated, as Brianna evidently desired Stella’s happiness; perhaps there remained genuine hope for him. She may not have been as opposed to wolves as she claimed to be. “I am genuinely pleased for you,” Ryder conveyed to him.
I am indebted to her significantly. She explicitly conveyed that to me.” He slightly shook his head. “What about them?” “I genuinely desire to decapitate him,” he growled with fury.
Ryder was genuinely astonished that the man and his wolf remained stationary, and that he and Oscar had not descended into chaos, necessitating everyone’s intervention to restrain him. Based on all he had observed regarding him and Stella, he anticipated Nolan and his wolf to enter here in a state of uncontrollable fury. However, he appeared to be entirely in command of himself.
This was the Nolan he had always recognised, until Stella, that is. The man may have been solely uncontrollable regarding his true partner, a thought worth considering. The full moon will occur tonight, and his human mate has recently discovered the complete truth regarding not only Nolan but also the others, he presumed. Not only did he wish to see Oscar, his wolf, but he had also embraced him. That was a relief; it may have been the factor maintaining his and his wolf’s tranquilly at this moment.
Nolan?”
“Allow me to be the one to abandon him at the hospital.” He may sustain additional fractures before his arrival, yet he will survive.
“Are you certain of that?”Ryder enquired with composure.
“I assure you, he will endure.” It is essential that he witnesses Stella’s happiness at our wedding and her pregnancy with our first child.
Ryder almost laughed upon hearing Enzo snort with amusement. “I will accompany him, Ryder,” Enzo stated.
“Luca will accompany us.” Ryder contemplated the extent of human resilience to survive multiple fractures without fatality, dismissing them as the trio gathered the two individuals and escorted them from the hotel room.
He would not intervene even if those two men were wolves. Neither would endure, and a conflict would likely have erupted with Stella’s father’s pack, or an infiltration and assassination would certainly have been the minimum Nolan would anticipate. He understood they would utilise the stairs rather than the lift.
Stella’s Perspective
It was a protracted and emotionally draining day for her. Stella remained incredulous that her father had indeed dispatched Miguel to retrieve her. He understood that she would never reconcile with that man and had likely attempted to compel her decision by introducing Nolan for a formal discussion. It was what he claimed to desire.
The man was occasionally unbearable. Required everything to be conducted according to his preferences. It appeared that he was on the verge of encountering his equal in Nolan. Discovering that Brianna, Logan, and Nolan were not human but werewolves, she sensed that her father was about to learn this truth in a difficult manner. Nolan’s approach would prevail, or there would be no alternative.
This revelation regarding their true nature, coupled with her realisation that Wood Ryder and his associates were also non-human, prompted her to contemplate numerous aspects of her surroundings that remained unknown to her solely due to her humanity.
Stella was reclining in a hot bath that Brianna had prepared for her, although she observed that she was still donning the brace on her knee. During its operation, Brianna positioned herself on the tub’s edge and enquired about her feelings regarding the information she had acquired that day.
“May I enquire about your…”
“Indeed, Nolan will provide any information you seek.”
I wish to pose this question to you, rather than to him. I am uncertain whether I would receive a truthful response from him, as I suspect he might merely convey what I wish to hear.
Brianna replied succinctly, “I am sceptical; however, feel free to enquire.”
Stella remarked, “You stated that his eyes would never stray and that he would remain loyal.”
“He shall be.” Wolves form lifelong mating bonds, Stella. “Wolves are markedly dissimilar to humans; he will never deviate,” she smiled at Stella. “He will never contemplate another and will constantly yearn for you.” Desire to make contact with you. Initially, it will be quite overwhelming. However, you will acclimatise to it.
“Is that the reason for the absence of a divorce rate?”Stella enquired.
Will Nolan and I enter into matrimony? Or is it dissimilar? In the company of friends?“
“Our situation is distinct.” However, some individuals do enter into matrimony, and as a human, you will probably experience an elaborate wedding. Furthermore, your family will likely be permitted to attend, and you may even choose to host the event at your family estate if desired.
Stella scrunched her nose and shook her head; she did not envision herself marrying at the family estate. “If I desire to?”She enquired.
“Mm.” Brianna nodded as she stood, affirming, “Nolan will provide you with anything you desire.” “You ought to enquire with Nolan regarding any additional questions.” He will not deceive you, Stella, and there remain numerous concepts you must learn and comprehend.
“Understood.” Stella acknowledged.
