Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Chapter 0129

Colin's POV

I feel bad interrupting Cara's weekend alone, especially since Eamon was insisted she take this time for herself.

But the mischievous twins had other ideas.

"If she doesn't want us around, we'll just drop off these goodies and leave!"

Ryan is rummaging through the lunch boxes, each one packed with delicious, albeit completely unhealthy food-burgers, fried chicken, pizza.

I frown. "Ryan, you know this stuff isn't nutritious. And Cara deserves a peaceful weekend alone."

"Oh, come on, brother. We're just delivery guys for the surprise party!" Aidan throws an arm around my shoulder, grinning. "These are Arbun-special homemade meals. Way better than all those bland, healthy things you eat. We just want to share some joy with our sister!"

"And," Ryan adds, lowering his voice, "Bedford's been harassing her again. It's been stressing her out. If we happen to catch him snooping around, it'd be the perfect chance to deal with him."

Cara's spare key is hidden under the potted plant by the door, so we let ourselves in. But as soon as we step inside, we spot something that makes all of us tense up: a pair of men's dress shoes near the entrance. Our hearts sink.

Could Bedford really have forced his way into Cara's home?

Sadly, it's no secret that the goddess's rules make female wolves physically weaker than male wolves. If a male wolf decided to hurt her, she'd have little chance to fight him off.

The three of us exchange uneasy glances. Ryan carefully sets the lunch boxes on the floor, clears his throat, and says loudly, "Hey, we're definitely going to give her a big surprise. Like, a huge surprise party!"

I chime in, playing along. "Keep your voice down. She's been tired lately; she might still be sleeping."

Aidan, always quick on his feet, adds, "Should someone check if she's awake? Just-be quiet about it, alright?"

Still, there's no response from inside the house.
