107 Foxs den- Part 3 (1/2)

Was this the maddening jealousy she had heard about when it came to soul bonds? He was being illogical with his reasoning. There was nothing between Noah and her, nothing even remotely close had happened except for him helping her when Howard and she had gone to fish in the river.

”The boy has occupied your mind again,” he stated looking down at her eyes focus back at him.

”If you hadn't called him for your little tea party he wouldn't have occupied my mind for these few minutes,” she retorted back and realized she should have taken another approach.

”So you are thinking about him,” he stated, turning around and heading outside.

”Where are you going?!” she asked strikken with panic.

”To send Toby to ask Stanley to bring back the boy so that the wolves can have a good dinner tonight,” Heidi followed him, keeping up her pace with him.

”Nicholas please,” she pleaded with him to see him stop walk and hear him chuckle. When he turned around he smiled at her.

”Why are you smiling?”

Nicholas leaned forward and placed a kiss on her cheek, ”You're an endearing girl. Toby doesn't respond to anyone but me. The boy should be on his way home now. I will be in my study,” he said walking in the direction where his study was to only stop and turn to speak, ”Don't go looking for something that isn't there Heidi. The rain is right around the corner, stay in the mansion.”

Heidi about to leave for her room looked at the corridor where Nicholas had disappeared. Her eyes fell on the wall which had a big dent with cracks around it, leaving a little amount of residue on the floor. She wondered how much of what Nicholas spoke was a joke and what was the truth. She wanted to believe what he said but his words 'I asked Stanley to send him home but now I want to tear his heart out'was what worried her.

The lord of Bonelake was an unpredictable man. Gnawing on her bottom lip she walked towards the entrance hall to only be interrupted by one of the maid.

”Lady Heidi, would you like some tea?” the maid asked her.

”No, I am fine. Thank you though,” Heidi smiled and from the corner of her eyes she could see that the maid made no effort to move, looking at her.
