(Nora's POV)
"Nora, aren't you going to your room?" mom asked me when I didn't follow her.
"I am just waiting for brother Alaric. He isn't home yet," I replied.
"You know he may return past midnight. He is handling a lot of stuff these days," she told me as she sighed.
"I know, I won't wait for long. Mom, you should go and rest. You must be tired from all that travel. Goodnight, sweet dreams," I urged her. She has been travelling here and there with dad. She looked exhausted despite her radiant beauty. I feel bad for her.
"Okay, sweetheart. Don't be too late, hmm," she kissed my forehead and went to her room.
I have been waiting for brother Alaric as he promised me that he would be back before ten but the time is almost up and he hasn't arrived yet. Neither is he replying to any of my mind links nor he is answering my phone calls. He makes me anxious.
