Storm

After the storms of her life had finally thought about giving her a rest for a few hours, she decided to step into the shower.

After all, she needed to choose a house for herself after that. 

How strange was it that the first day on which she had decided to step foot in this school… or it should be put this way, that the first day when she had been allowed to step foot into this school, she had decided to choose The Authority Achievers house for herself.

And the reason behind her decision was just so that she wouldn't have to meet or talk to many people there. Even now, her preference had not changed much; but still, she wanted to tell her friends about it and ask for their opinions.

It was something very new to her, and she was quite enjoying it, too!

She stepped out of the shower and was about to hit the bed, when she felt like she had seen someone near the window.

It could not have been her imagination or hallucination… because it was not the first time she had felt like someone was watching her.

But what if it was, once again, just her faulty assumption?

She needed to find out- thinking this, she was about to step out of her room and go to the back to see what was there.

At this moment, she caught the reflection of a human hand on her window, and fear started to build up in her mind.

Although Robin was not in the mood for dinner, he knew he had to follow the rules designed by the school if he wanted to stay there.

But to his surprise, he saw Louis walking towards them, while holding a plate of food in his hand.

And before he could say anything, he spoke up. 

"Before you go on a series of questions, let me clarify this for you. I am here to answer your questions, and also for planning the date for Myron. But before that, grab your dinner and meet me on that table over there."

He stepped forward after briefing him on the requirements, and feeding the plant of curiosity within Robin's heart.

As expected, he did not take more than a minute to grab the dinner by jumping into the line, grabbing the first three items he thought were edible for himself, and rushed back to the table- knowing that Myron would be coming there within the next ten to fifteen minutes.

But the first thing he heard after reaching on the table was the vibration of his cell phone, which he had forgotten to hide. And there was no way he could fish out his phone right now, in the presence of every other student and staff member. 

Oblivious to his dilemma, Louis began to speak;

"I know you might have been going through the battle of figuring out Nora's identity, and also my words that she needs to find out her reality by herself.

But I am here to share one more secret with you, and that is -"

He cut Louis off with an urgent declaration;

"Whatever that is, it can wait.

I want you to come with me right now, as there is something I need to tell you."

Nora ran and hugged Robin the moment they arrived inside the premises of her Alpha palace, as she had been running hysterically till now.

It was a good thing that she had a phone with her; and the second best thing was that Robin had shared his number only with her, and therefore, he was aware that the only message he was going to receive was from her.

Therefore, without even checking his phone over there, he knew who it was and what she wanted to say, by the set code of sending three messages in a row without any delay.

But while the messages had indeed caused him to panic a lot, he had never assumed to see Nora in this condition. Her hair was open, her sleeves were torn as twigs and straws were stuck in them. 

She was running away from the palace, hysterically, with no shoes on her feet- and was crying continuously.

While Robin was trying to console her first, before asking what was the thing that had made her this scared, Louis quickly removed his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders as he took the opportunity to speak;

"It's okay Darling! Everything is okay, you are fine. Nothing is gonna happen, just breathe -"

Nora finally mustered the courage to utter the next sentence;

"T… th- th… there… is… there is a man… a man with a silver dagger in his hand."

The words were not just some words painted with fear, but they formed a death sentence written with the ink of poison and bore the results of an atom bomb explosion.

Because even if the two were not going to believe whatever she was saying outright… it was still something that they both knew held the power to terrify any werewolf. 

Then in Nora's case, it was the first time that she was living alone.

Thus, the only thing that came into Louis' mind was to not only comb through the premises himself, but also call someone to stay with her tonight. Thinking this, he turned around to see if Myron had noticed their absence and was following them or not.

Only to find out that he was indeed following them. He had arrived at the palace and was looking at them from a far away, not being sure of what was going on.

So before saying anything to Robin or Nora, he decided to call him first. 

"Myron! Can you do me a favour, please?" 

"Yes, Prince Louis, but Nora-"

"I will tell you the details later, but first, I want you to find Valerie from the girls' mess and bring her here- as quickly as you can."

"If it would have been anyone else, then Myron would definitely have denied this responsibility, without even thinking about the consequences. 

But he knew that it was related to Nora, and he was ready to die for her… then talking to his crush was something he could definitely do.

So without any delay, he stepped towards the girls' mess after taking on his responsibility while mouthing, "As you command, Prince Louis." 

Once he had disappeared, he turned towards Nora- who was still shaking with fear. He then looked towards Robin, whose eyes were turning bloodshot because of anger, before deciding to speak;

"Let's take her inside, she needs some water and we need to see the evidence before someone has the time to erase them."
