Make a call?

"What?!" 

Nora asked, making her eyes as big as she could, to contain her surprise and happiness. The hope of her problem being solved had not only filled her heart with pleasure, but the thought of Robin helping her out and hence doing a good thing, delighted her on his behalf too.

On the other hand Robin, looked at the cheerful jumping bunny who had somehow trapped within the body of a werewolf. It was not an outlandish conclusion at all, because after all, he had only seen bunnies with as much enthusiasm; but then again, she was Nora! Nora, the girl who not only had made him talk to her even after being from the rival pack, but had also convinced him to help her, and most importantly, she had somehow caused him to stand against his own brother!

The brother whom he indeed used to love, but now, there was a condition that if he continued troubling Nora like this, then he might have to reconsider the love and respect he had for his own brother.

Blinking his doubts away, he spoke up with a smile on his face ;

"Here you go!" 

Saying this, he presented a shiny phone in front of her with a wide grin to accompany it.

"This!?" 

"Yes." 

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

Nora repeated the question once again, seeing that she had only gotten the confirmation of the existence of a phone in Robin's hand, and nothing else of value in reply to her first question.

Meanwhile, the moment she placed the second question in front of Robin, his enthusiasm and smile vanished together, as he spoke again in a tone dropping with sarcasm.

"Make a call, I guess?" 

"Robin!" 

"What?"

Nora whined his name again in a little bit of disbelief mixed with a little annoyance, but somehow, that annoyance was able to bring a wide smile on his face. 

However, that smile didn't stay for long. He looked at her face with a smile, only to find out that the annoyance which he was hoping to see on her face was not there anymore. Instead, there was a look of panic and there was a fear apparent in her eyes, along with the pain of not being able to do something… or probably the helplessness of it all.

But whatever that was, it made him speak up once again, before giving her the chance to say whatever she was going to say next.

"Hey, I am sorry! I was just kidding, but what happened…? Are you alright!? Nora?"

"I am not allowed to keep a mobile phone, or any kind of object that would be able to help me establish contact with anyone -"

Robin cut her off, trying to save her the unnecessary trouble of repeating something they were already aware of, and decided that he would rather spend that time explaining why he had a phone on his person.

"I know the rules of the dorm, but here is a key for the Alphas! We can keep the phone and some luxury items, so you can actually keep this -"

"I am not allowed to keep a phone in my house!"

Nora finally managed to drop the information she had been carrying with her all this time, but the moment she interrupted Robin's explanation to this, a drop of tear rolled down her cheeks.

________________

The moment Robin dragged Nora with himself and Myron dashed off after them, it left David standing there alone with Louis.

And neither of these people had any jobs left now, apart from caring about Nora. Yes, the difference in things they both cared about regarding her, was debatable. And yet, one could not deny the fact that they both were still thinking about her, and only her while standing there in silence.

Neither of them was ready to utter a single word, until Louis was shaken by the unexpected voice of Valerie. Turning around, he saw that she was out of the dorm by this time, with two big suitcases lugging on either side of her. 

"Alpha, I have packed almost everything. Where should I head to, in order to find your car-"

"What are you doing, Louis?"

David asked, looking towards Valerie with a look of disgust, and then glanced back towards Louis, after connecting the dots. He had concluded that no matter what had happened, these two were definitely the reason why Nora had left the dorm in such a hurry, and collided with him. Even though it didn't mean that all of a sudden, he would be concerned about what she was going through. But if someone in the territory was trying to play dirty games by making the lower rank wolves believe that they could stand in opposition to their Alphas, then he wasn't going to stay quiet. After all was said and done, Louis had to go back after he completed his studies, and they were the ones who would be left there to look after the law and order of the territory. And thus, he wasn't able to restrain himself anymore, and demanded an explanation from Louis in a stern tone.

Valerie had given the reply to his demand before Louis could even have thought about opening his mouth after deciding to reply.

"I know you all are extremely powerful, but where is it written, that the powerful ones are only here to bully the weaker ones? And you all even seem to have a problem if anyone from your rank wants to help us… first the Princess, and now you? What the hell is wrong with you all -"

"You! You are the wrong one here, Valerie!"

Louis finally yelled out in reply to a question Valerie had not even voiced yet. He really had been mistaken badly by not clarifying it earlier, that even though he was her friend, he was there to help Nora out and not her. And now, the blunder had given rise to the storm of chaos that he wasn't able to tame on his own.
