Selene POV
I thought I wouldn’t be bothered if I saw Brooke coming out of Noah’s room but for the last ten minutes, it was all I could think of. More especially, why had Noah lied to ?
"Your Majesty, I’m here," Brenna said behind making jump at the suddenness of her voice. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear her walk up to .
"Oh!" I chuckled awkwardly, "I didn’t hear you co. Did you say sothing? Are the girls alright?" I asked simultaneously hoping it wasn’t showing too much that I had been crying. Never in my wildest imaginations did I think I would be holed up in the restroom sobbing over Noah...
"No, Your Majesty!" Brenna shook her head, still giving a curious look "You asked to find out about Princess Jade that’s what I’m here to report. So, I t with one of her maids and I was told she’s usually not at ho at this ti since she’s such a party person but it’ll be better to look for her in the mornings or mid-morning. I delivered your ssage to the maid, she’ll inform the Princess when she returns and just to make sure she does that, I will check back and...".
"That won’t be necessary my dear," I interrupted her with a smile "If you keep going back there, it will make us look desperate and that’s the last thing I want Princess Jade to think of us. Don’t worry, if I don’t see her tomorrow, I can always look for a way to talk to her. Also..." I paused and looked over my shoulders to confirm that no one was close to us "Shouldn’t we leave earlier today? Instead of the usual ti, I have a hunch about sothing and the only way to confirm that I am not just imagining things is to change my schedule and see how they react,".
"They?" she looked at with confusion but I smiled wanly as mories of Reid coming out to save that other night ca to my mind and how I’ve been seeing a lot of strange yet constant faces tailing now and again. Also, Reid was just all over and I had to piece two and two together and the only thing that ca to mind was how to lose all the people following .
"Yes!" I nodded "Today’s work is done and thankfully we made a lot of progress. I’m just waiting for them to clear out so stuff inside so I can lock the door. Ask Faustina to tell the kitchen that we’ll be having dinner tonight. No one would be served in their room, including the King. If anyone tries to refute it, let them take it up with . The dining hall is made for eating and not an artefact... henceforth everyone eats there,".
"O...Okay, your Majesty!" Brenna replied looking at strangely.
"And ask the Kitchen staff to prepare for an inspection tomorrow by . Gosh! There are a lot of things that need to be changed around the Pack. The housekeeper, Garden Keeper... anyone in charge of anything around the Pack. I need to et with them in that hall," I said and pointed at an empty hall that was adjacent to Luna’s Office. I would like to see all of them by 7 am and they should be on ti, I still have to go for the counselling session later on, so tardiness will not be tolerated. Inform my Beta too,".
"Of course, your Majesty," Brenna nodded again still giving a quizzical look. I knew she was wondering what was going on but it was a trick. I intend to put everyone on their toes so that they can all concentrate on their duties and will not have ti to gossip or say anything about and the girls. It will also keep the attention away from to do other important things.
Brenna excused herself to go do everything I told her. Just on cue, the people cleaning out my office finally ca out and told they were done. I nodded with appreciation and they left. I stood there for a long ti, staring at nothing while also trying not to think of Noah and Brooke and also looking for the best way to advance my plan since an office had been granted to .
Anyti or day now, I know Kragen would co around to remind of our pact. We were slowly advancing further into everything but why doesn’t it taste like happiness? I felt empty and maybe... lonely. Yes, that was the word. All my life, I’ve never had the ti to make friends with anyone and the one opportunity I thought I would finally have soone to talk to and share everything with was with my children but these days, I was too busy to mind them.
The only thing I look forward to now is to get my life back and hopefully, it’ll not be too late to make friends, go out on dates and be best friends with my children with of course, all the power in the world that a werewolf can possess.
I closed the door of my office securing it and turned to leave when I stopped dead in my tracks. It was night already and the person in front of was so tall that he was standing directly in front of the outdoor light but I could make out the silhouette, any ti, any day even in my sleep.
It was Grand Lycan Leonard Carrell – Noah’s father.
Trying to still my pounding heart, I drew myself to my full height and folded my hands in front of trying to match his fierce look. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" I asked not bothering with his title.
"You want to pit my son against , Selene..." he started softly, disguising the anger I could feel coursing from him. "My son has never gone against my wish since he was born. Even the tiniest of things, he would inform but you have the guts to poison his heart against , against, elders of this pack, do you know what you have done?"
"What!" I feigned surprise "I don’t know what you’re talking about, honestly and as for him approving Luna’s office thing, I didn’t think he would because just before all of you walked in, we were having a heated argunt. Our marriage has not been at its best too but I am assuming you know that. So, It’s not my fault, I didn’t tell Noah anything, I promise. Besides, don’t you think you’re overreacting, I am his wife and you’re his father, he should listen to more and do whatever I want,".
Leonard’s eyes dimd with fury as my words registered to him. I saw him raise his hands in my direction and I knew that he was going to strike . But just as his hands neared my face, I reached out and held it, suspending it in the air, as I glared at him.
"Don’t you dare, Leonard, if you do not have a death wish!"
