Clark’s jaw nightened. 

“Good,” she said, her voice as sharp as glass. “Now get the hell out of my way.” 

Clark’s lips parted slightly, surprised by her bluntness. Then, without another word, be grabbed the small hag containing his purchase, turned on his heel, and walked away. 

Clara exhaled loudly. Ugh. Leant stand that man.”

Clara placed a comforting hand on her arm. “Hey. Let’s go home, okay?”

They made their way to the parking lot. The night air was crisp, the distant hum of traffic filling the silence between them. Just as they were about to unlock the car doors. Nora’s phone rang. 

She pulled it out and frowned when she saw the caller ID.

The slight simile she had been forcing onto her face disappeared, replaced by a 

“Hello” 

On the other end, Alex’s voice was hesitant. “Mom, when are you coming home?” 

Nora didn’t answer right away. Her grip on the phone tightened slightly, 

Instead of giving him a direct reply, she asked, “What’s wrong? 

There was a pause. 

Alex was sitting on the couch in the living room, flapping through the channels absentmindedly, when he said, “Mom, I’m bored, come back and play the game I didn’t fuuch earlier with me

Alex sighed, crossing 

Arnold sat down beside him. “Did she say why? 

Alex shook his head. “She just said she needed time alone.” 

Arnold leaned hark, his fingers drumming lightly against the armrest. He had known Nora long enough to recognize when something was wrong. She wasn’t the type to push Alex away unless something was really weighing on her. 

“She’s probably tired.” Arnold saidd after a moment. “Sometimes adults need space ton.” 

Alex scrunched up his face, clearly unsatisfied with that answer. “But she’s “never” ton tired for me.” 

Arnold ruffled his hair. Tven the strongest people need rest, kad. Give her some time,” 

Alex sighed again, still not fully convinced, but he nodded. Arnold stayed with him for a while, watching him play a game, but his thoughts were elsewhere 

“Nora what happened today? 

On the other side of the city. 

Clark Joseph stepped into his home, setting down a velvet jewelry box on the dining table. 

Jenna, his Luna, turned from where she was arranging fresh flowers in a crystal vase. Her eyes landed on the box, and she reached for it eagerly. When she lifted the lid, a brilliant diamond necklace gleamed under the light. 

Her lips curled into a delighted smile. “It’s beautiful,” 

Clark gave a tired hod and sank into the chair. 

jenna, still admiring her gift, asked. “What took you so long?” 

Clark besitated before answering. I ran into Nora.” 

• smile faded slightly from Jenna’s face. She closed the jewelry box and turned to him, arms crossed. “And?” 

Clark sighed. “She was as difficult as ever.” 

Jennan’s expression turned subtle, a mix of mild irritation and curiosity. “Is she still making things hard for Linda?” 

Clark scuffed. “What do you think? She refuses to let Linda join Studio STARLINE. She’s doing it out of s 

Jenna clicked her tongue, shaking her head. 

“Even though Linda took Alpha Arnold from her, he was never worthy of her in the first place, A woman like Nora–what does she have besides her Jooks? No talent. No real skills. She might as well help her sister.” 

Clark smirked, clearly agreeing “She’s only making it worse for herself. Arnold has already moved on. If she keeps this up, she’ll just embarrass herself 

To them, Nora actions were nothing but petty jealousy. 

They believed she was lutter that Linda had taken Alpha Arnold away, and now she was trying to ruin Luda’s future in revenge.
