Chapter 47-The Broken Brother Bond
Maximus:
"She is so dull and foolish," I commented as I entered the mansion with my brothers. It was raining heavily, so we had informed the maids to prepare soups and other meals for us. We planned to spend some quality time as a family.
"I wonder how everyone feels about our academy giving a chance to a wolf-less creature like her?" I continued, noticing Norman fixing his shirt, which made me wonder if he had a plan.
"I have already taken care of it," he shrugged, stepping onto the terrace where a beautiful gazebo awaited us. The weather was pleasant now. It was still raining, but it only added to the beauty of the night.
Emmet had been left behind, and I knew what he was doing before arriving here. The three of us sat down, watching the maids serve us delicious food just as Emmet showed up.
"I didn’t let anyone know about each candidate from the shelters this year. They are completely in the dark about who is joining and who isn’t. So when she gets rejected, she will be out of our lives, and no one will know our admission criteria dropped so significantly," Norman quickly explained before Emmet reached us. He had three bottles of wine in his hands, looking all smiles and cheerful.
"But this happy drinker over here had promised to pay for her admission fee. If he hadn’t been so generous, she would have been out by now," I complained, noticing how Emmet didn’t even pay attention to my words as he sat down and focused on the bottles first.
"Hey, not tonight. Enjoy the feast with us first, and then we’ll all drink together," Norman reached for his hand and shook his head, his eyes meeting our brother’s gaze, who nodded steadily before leaning back away from the alcohol.
"But—have you guys ever wondered what might be making her so desperate that she wants to become part of the academy where she will only get bullied for having no wolf?" Kaye’s statement really surprised me.
