Chapter 38: Weakness
After that day, both Noah and Lucas ignored each other's presence. Noah went hunting whereas Lucas stayed behind with Lyra. A week passed and Lyra was finally able to get out of bed.
Today Lucas was helping her to take a walk. She didn't feel any pain but felt somewhat uncomfortable walking after resting for so long. Lucas patiently held her shoulders and helped her in keeping her balance.
Walking out of the bedroom she spotted Noah sitting near the stone stove. Noah felt her presence and looked up "I have cooked food for you, I hope you like it"
Lucas frowned "Who are you to cook for my female? Throw that away, I will do it myself"
Lyra held his hand and cast an apologetic look at Noah "Don't be so unreasonable "
Then turned to Noah "Thank you, I was feeling a little hungry"
Noah smiled and got up to leave. Lyra frowned "Why are you leaving without even eating? We three should eat together"
Noah froze in his steps and faced her "Can I eat together with you?"
Lucas gritted his teeth "Ly, we can't let him eat with us. He is not a part of our family"
She rolled her eyes "It is the prey that he caught and cooked, why isn't he allowed to his food? And, he has been staying in our house and helping us a lot, don't be so petty"
She looked at Noah "Come and join us"
