After Cecil left, I decided to grab a smoothie and salad from 'Nature' because I barely ate anything during the meeting earlier. As we headed to Gemini to meet Victor, I enjoyed my salad in the car.When we got to the hotel, Victor was already waiting in his car outside. I told the driver to park in the VIP parking lot as Victor preferred it, wanting to keep a low profile with our customized ‘BWP’ (Berry-woods pack) plate.Victor was dressed in his usual business attire, but he wasn't wearing his suit jacket, just a black vest and suit shirt.“Did you forget your jacket?” I asked as I closed the car door behind me.“No,” He replied, his attention glued to the tablet in his hand. “We had a little Mishap earlier.”“A Mishap?” I questioned, fastening my seatbelt.“Yeah, we're preparing the hotel for the Christmas celebration, and I had a few problems while supervising,” He explained, loosening his tie before returning to his tablet.I helped rolled up his sleeve when I saw It's bothering
It was four pm by the time we drive around the city to eat lunch, we soon came back and after paying for the dresses and a new suit for Victor, who was still in the car, I checked for an accommodative semi-expensive hotel to lodge for the night, I finally found ‘ERA’ after a long drive and we'll, it was a three star hotel and was okay, I think. Victor didn't find fault in it, he only asked if I was comfortable staying there and he was if I was. “I'm sorry I didn't do as I had promised” He finally closed his laptop for the day and rubbed his eyes. I continued drying my hair, still in the hotel's grey robe still on me. “It's okay, no worries. I had fun anyway” “You're not mad at me” He asked, probably surprised that I was nonchalantly drying my hair instead of hurling things at him. I stopped drying my hair for a moment and gave him an are-you-okay look. “I had crabs for lunch so yeah I'm not mad at you” “Are you sure?” He slowly got down from the bed and began unbuttoning his vest.
I stretched a slice of pizza to him to, I don't know, calm him? He just huffed and turned back to drying his hair.“You're not bribing me with a slice of pizza,” he remarked.“I'm just being generous,” I replied, stuffing the pizza into my mouth.After what felt like forever, he finally finished drying his hair and tossed the towel into the laundry basket. Then he hopped on the only clean spot on the bed, the rest was surrounded by snacks of all kinds. There were chips, chocolates, and who knows what else. And they're probably unhealthy too, because I saw one with a million percent calories while bringing them out of the bags. I think it's called Choko. Yes the name is Choko, it's a chocolate, just so you know. You know what's the best dessert for a woman? It's online shopping from a cheap site. Trust me, it's more satisfying than you'd think. I quickly cleaned up the bed, threw the empty packs into the bin, and stored the remaining coke and snacks in the fridge.Victor pulled
The men were already here, downstairs and since Damon's study was a bit small to not accommodate them he asked the maids to serve tea outside, at the backyard, near the pool. He had called before they arrived that he wanted a table and chairs outside.After the maids served the tea, I changed into a more free but classic dress that passed across the healthy and wealthy message. I took the wines that Damon had carefully picked out and the files he asked for from his study before going into the kitchen to tell the cook to bring out the cookies as it would soon be served. This was just the usual ritual every year. Tea then cookies the wine, it's in the back of my head.I handed the wines to Zara to keep on the counter and to also bring out the glasses for it.Just immediately Selene Came in, she bowed slightly. “Greetings Luna, Is there anything I can help with?” She only gave Zara a short glance before looking back at me.“Grab the glasses, Zara will handle the wines” I replied Curtly.
The next day began with afresh fall of snow. I woke to see ice draped around the panes in the bedroom window and pushed my quilt further up my next.Downstairs I heard Damon rummaging around as if looking for something. He had picked his pillows and sheets when we were about to go to bed last night and said he was going to take the couch.“You're late!” His was on a call and it was on speaker. Someone was berating him from the other end and his only response was cursing and yelling at the person to shut up.I waited until his voice began to fade pulled and then the door shut with a loud bang. At the same time, Selene —Her scent is all over the house already— switched off the audible tv and the house was once again in silence, I waited until I heard receding footsteps in the passage and the back door opening and shutting again before I pulled the quilt off me.I turned over and slided my hand across the sheet then under the pillow, my finger touching the case of my phone. I dragged it
News came in after I decided to double check and put a call to one of the pack warriors who were supposed to guard the border to confirm if it was true, that was a ridiculous request because I literally saw it on the news.Callum second in command was the one running the errands because Callum was still on the ‘find-who-killed-natalie’ search. It turned out that, yes a couple of hiker did die near the west border, but the death was connected to something else so the eyes of the curious people were off the pack, a few reporters and cops came though, but it didn't go too far and Damon had to come back from wherever he went to, to sort the situation, he couldn't give Victor the work because that man has been busy all day, I couldn't believe how packed his schedule was.He was never free for a full day, just a few hours and the he is back to work.Has he even eaten? Probably not. So I put a call through to his assistant to tell her I was coming and she shouldn't tell Victor as I wanted t
“What are you doing sitting on the stairs?” I climbed the first and second steps and waited for her to move out of the way.She slowly got up. “I'm sorry but I can't let you in, Luna. The alpha is currently in and busy with a serious matter”Serious matter, in our bedroom.And I couldn't go in.“Sorry? You said I can't what?” My grip on my bag tightened. I suddenly saw Zara approaching from the background door, she must have heard what Selene said.Selene continued. “You can't go in” She hesitated before adding. “Luna”Zara took my bag from me and faced Selene with a grim expression. “Step aside, Ms Getty or I'll be forced to make you” I could see the surprised flash in Selene's eyes. Yes, Zara was an ordinary assistant and Chambermaid but she was as strong as she could be, I stopped sparring with her when she almost broke my bones. She was more capable than any guards I carry.Selene look at her ridiculously. “Can you please not interrupt. I'm just doing my job”Zara scoffed in resp
I left the room with a heavy heart, knowing what I had to do. Slowly, I packed at my shoes and stuffed them into a big box and began then move my things. Each item I put outside the room felt like a piece of my life slipping away.“Are you sure about this, Luna?” Zara's voice was soft as she watched me pack from outside what's now Damon's room. She was holding a large red box that had all my books.I nodded, unable to meet her gaze. “I have to do this. It's for the best.”Once everything else like the dirty clothes, files and documents was packed, I moved to the other room. It felt strange to be in a new space, unfamiliar and empty. But I knew it was necessary for my own sanity.“Do you need any help arranging your stuff?” Normally, she wouldn't have asked, but I guess she saw how alone I want to be at the moment. “No, I think I can manage,” I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt. I started by cleaning the room, wiping away the dust and cobwebs that had accumulate
