Nora's

POV

We all remained silent as I waited for someone to speak, but none of them spoke up. I watched as they stared at each other for a moment, then back at me, still not uttering a word.

With a heavy sigh, I looked around and waved at the waitress, who hurried over and lowered her head to both Alpha Leo and Lord Maddison.

"Can I borrow a coin from one of you? I'll return it," I requested, and she nodded, then went to fetch it.

Within a minute, she returned and handed the coin to me before leaving. I gazed at both of them for a while before speaking. "Alpha Leo and Lord Maddison, do either of you have something to say?" I asked and Lord Maddison responded, "I'll choose tails." I nodded and turned to face Alpha Leo. "That means you are going with heads," I informed him, and he nodded in agreement.

With a deep breath, I flipped the coin onto my palm, removed my hand, and realized that the coin showed tails, making Lord Maddison the winner.

"It seems I'll be spending the weekend with you," I said, facing Lord Maddison, who had a relieved look on his face. "He seems happy," Lolita whispered, and I looked away.

I shifted my gaze to Alpha Leo and saw that he wore a blank expression, making it difficult to discern his mood. I held his gaze for a moment before calling the waitress's attention and handing her the coin back.

The three of us remained silent, lost in our thoughts. I delved into deep reflection, wondering if I had made the right decision with this contest.

When I witnessed them almost attacking each other a few moments ago, I felt scared and panicked. If they could think of attacking each other in my presence, I feared what they might do when I'm not around.If you are not reading this novel on Jobni b. com, some sentences are incomplete. Although I knew this contest was ridiculous, but it seemed like the best decision to make. I believed that by the end of the three months, I would be able to choose the right one among them and perhaps find love and the life I had dreamed of.

"When should I pick you up?" Lord Maddison asked, breaking the silence. "I'll give you the address and time," I replied and stood up. "Do we have a deal?" I asked, staring at both of them, and they both nodded.

"May the best man win," I said, lowering my head respectfully to them, and walked away.

"Good job," Lolita praised.

"Thanks," I responded, and hailed a taxi.

A few minutes later, I arrived at the hotel, quickly took a bath, and changed into a loose shirt and sweatpants.

Sitting on the bed, I called Maxwell for a video call, and he answered after the second ring.

"Hi, my hero," he teased. "I heard the healing process was a success," he said, and I nodded.

"Father also told me everything. He wanted me to plead on their behalf, but you know I won't do that," he said, while I flickered a sad yet grateful smile. For a moment, I had forgotten about them.

"How are you doing?" he asked, and I took a deep breath before responding, "I'm doing well," I mumbled. "Something else is bothering you. What is it?" he asked, and I released a heavy sigh before explaining everything to him, leaving no details out. "Wow," he exclaimed, while I sighed.

"What you did was the right thing to do. You can't reject them both, and you can't choose one when you know nothing about them," he said, and I nodded, relieved by his words. For a moment, I had doubted my decision, But hearing this from him relieved my stress. "Now you have to work with your head, not your heart. There should be no cheating on your part while giving the scores," he advised, and I nodded in agreement.

"I hope you choose the right mate at the end of the day," he said, and I responded with a smile. "Thanks for everything, Maxwell. I don't know what I would have done without you," I expressed my gratitude, and he smiled in return. "You're my only family, and I feel lucky to have such an amazing big brother," I praised him, and he chuckled. "Stop it. I'm just older by a year and six months," he scoffed, while I chuckled and shook my head.

"Go to bed. You have a lot on your plate," he told me, and I nodded. I blew him a kiss and ended the call. With a heavy sigh, I lay on the bed and contemplated where I would stay. Staying in a hotel for such period didn't seem great to me, as I was already feeling homesick.

"Give Dora a call." Lolita suggested and I realized that I had forgotten to inform her of my presence in town. I dialed her number, and after the third ring, she picked up. 'Nora!' she exclaimed.

"Dora, hi babe," I greeted. "I'm in town."

"Oh my gosh, Nora! That's amazing!" Dora exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "How long are you staying? We need to catch up"

"I'm actually here for a while, "I replied.

"Wow, where are you staying?" she asked, concerned because she knew I wouldn't stay at my parents' apartment.

"In a hotel," I responded.

"Well, in the meantime, how about you stay with me? My apartment is big enough, and we'll have a blast catching up," she suggested.

A surge of relief washed over me. "That sounds perfect, Dora. I'm already feeling homesick, and staying in a hotel for three months would literally kill me."

"Consider it settled, then!" Dora exclaimed happily. "I can't wait to have you here. We'll make it like old times."

I smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Dora. You're the best. I'll let you know when I'll be there, and we can plan some fun activities."

"I'm looking forward to it, Nora," she replied warmly.

"Thanks, Dora. Talk to you soon," I said and ended the call with a sigh of relief. I lay back on the bed and forced myself to sleep, ignoring the fact that Alpha Leo was hosting a party for all the healers tonight.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, a knock came on the door. Curious to know who it was, I left the bed and approached the door. Slowly, I turned the doorknob, revealing a familiar face I hadn't expected to see. It was Alpha Leo, his normally composed expression etched with worry. Without uttering a word, he stepped into the room, closing the door behind him.
