Norman:
"I heard what happened at the examination grounds." Her blue eyes shifted toward me as she held the teacup with grace. Even after everything that had transpired, she maintained her poise. Her posture was always upright, and her demeanor was stern.
"Two candidates committed a crime and then lied to Maximus McQuoid," I used the words the others had been employing when discussing that incident.
"Hm, and you got them expelled?" She tilted her head, her eyes questioning.
"Arrested! We cannot allow such dangerous creatures to roam freely," I replied, refusing to take the teacup that her royal beta had been holding for me.
Mr. Larry Taboida had been friends with her since childhood. But when my mother left the pack, he was left behind. Now that my mother was back in her pack and serving as alpha queen, she had hired him to work for her.
"Norman! Who is the victim, and why isn’t she in the hospital, but rather in the farmhouse that you brothers share?" I knew my mother would bring it up. She had information on all of us; her trusted men kept an eye on us, but we never confronted her about it.
It was a mother worried about her sons, right?
"Since you know she is staying at our farmhouse, I’m sure you must know who she is," I replied, shaking my head. Mr. Larry pulled his hand back, but my mother grabbed the teacup and offered it to me herself this time.
Her light blue dress looked like a summer breeze, and her hair flowed in the wind coming through the window.
I had been informed by Mr. Larry that my mother wanted to see me, so I had to leave everything behind and hurry over. She had called for Kaye too, so I knew what she wanted to discuss with us.
"Ursula’s daughter? I heard she came to stay with you for a while but then left, and now she’s participating in the academy?" There was a bitterness in her tone; I knew she wouldn’t want her in our academy.
"She wouldn’t pass the tests. There’s no need to worry." I accepted the teacup and noticed my mother watching me drink from it. freёwebnovel.com
"Yet she is in the farmhouse. Anyway, I didn’t bring you here to talk about some useless creature or a gold digger’s daughter. I’m here to make a suggestion." She straightened her back, playing with the black diamond on her finger. It was a rare gem, just like my mother—she was rare too.
