Beatrice POV I woke to the sound of sawing and hammering down the hall. I yawned and stretched as I could not even remember when I slept, all I remember was Royce was lying on top of me sleeping While I stroked his hair. Hearing the banging sound again I instantly sat up, looking around I noticed that I was been covered up properly by a duvet, probably by Duncan. I remember him sleeping on me but now he was no where around, he was not in the room as well, I would sense him if he were, he must have woken early, I wasn’t surprised anyways about that but what was it about that noise, was he trying to somehow move the entire house? Suddenly I remembered he mentioned he was going to call someone to change the locks and and security in the house so I knew with the noise going on outside that we probably were not the only ones alone in the house and so I quickly stood up as I was completely naked under the covers, I went into my dresser and picked out a robe, put it on, and went to the
“Hello!, Beatrice? anyone here?” I heard melly call from the entrance, the door was open and she was probably trying to announce her presence before coming in“Melly, I am In here!” I said in reply as I turned in my chair to reply her and moments later melly walked in with a young girl who was grabbing onto her hand so securely while melly had a traveling bag in the other hand “Hey!” She greeted me without looking at he, rather her attention seemed to be at the kitchen as she looked around the entire kitchen as if she has never seen anything so grand in her entire life “Damn!” She exclaimed “This kitchen alone is the size of my entire house Luna, why didn’t you tell me you were born into money?” I laughed as she had started As she continued to admire the kitchen my attention diverted to the little girl that came in with her, Ii dropped my cutlery, stood up from my seat and went to squat in front of her. she looks very beautiful now that the color has finally returned to her face.
“May darling?” I called to her as she was finishing her muffin which she held in her small cute hands “Yes Luna” she answered with a mouthful, as she turned to directly face me, as she sat between Charlie and I “Call me Beatrice” I said with a warm smile“May I need you to do something for me right now Okay?” I asked and she nodded duly while she dropped the muffin in her hand back into her plate “I need you to be brave and tell me what happened to you, I found you outside your home on the floor and the house was totally burnt down. Why?” “I was looking for mother” she simply said and that made me remember her mother “Did you find mother?” “No” she said shaking her head and I saw tears swell in her eyes, almost like she can tell that something bad has happened to her mum, I was at the scene and I know if her mother was in that house then she definitely was dead “It’s okay May, I promise we will find her okay?” I said as I leaned in and cleaned her tears “So what happened?”“I
I took him into the sitting room and once I was certain we were alone i turned to face him “Babe?” I called to him as I knew what I was about to ask would be unorthodox but I needed his permission to do it as I could not do it alone “Yes” He said with a smile almost like he knew me calling him Babe was emotional blackmail on my part “We have a little problem with May” I said thinking of the proper way to say it, I know we were not the most safest of people to be around at the moment but I could see no other way around May’s unique situation, I could not trust her with just anyone “Her mother is dead, isn’t she?” He said taking the words right out my mouth, he really was a clairvoyant “Yes” I nodded “She was in the house that was burnt down, I could feel it, as their true alpha I could look at the scene of attack and tell if a member Of my pack had died there” “Should we tell her about it then? Because she will never stop looking for her mother” He asked with a concerned loo
“Ahm mhh” I heard someone cough from behind me and I instantly opened my eyes and distanced myself from Duncan immediately almost like we repelled, I was so absorbed by Duncan and my emotions for him that I did not hear anyone come in just now, normally I would have sensed whoever it was even before he or she came close, but somehow these days I notice that anytime I am with Duncan I rarely notice other things around me and put that with the fact we were just passionately kissing, and all my emotions and senses were overwhelmed by him then you would see that i was practically blind to anything that happens anytime u was with him and my lips were locked in his“Sorry for interrupting but Dexter, the sketch artist is done with the sketches and says I should call for you to come take a look at it!” I heard Charlie said from behind me as I turned, thank God it was her and not Dexter himself“It’s okay” Duncan said, he managed to compose himself even faster than I did as I was still trying
Boris are you there?” Mark asked as he himself drifted into his thoughts and he did not hear anything from Boris“Yes sir I am still here.” “Good! I want you to listen to me very carefully, I need you to go to that house and and relay an important message to Olivia okay?” “Yes sir!” “I need you to tell Beatrice that I want her to honor a dinner invitation at the villa this evening at six, that I would really love to have a private time with her and discuss about very private and personal things I cannot do over that phone, let her know I will be sending a car to pick her up by that time and if she can help it I would love if she does not come with Duncan, she should try to come alone” I needed Duncan out of the equation to properly have a conversation that could affect her the way I want it to. Duncan was a wild card I could not afford at the moment, I was not allowed to kill him and so I needed to handle him with care “Boris?” I called to him as I remember a very important detail
“I was sent by the alpha and he says I should extend an invitation to you personally, he, the alpha, wishes to have dinner with you at the Villa but most importantly he says he would love to talk with you there in private and he also says I should let you know that you should not worry about how to get there as he would send a car for you around six if that is okay by you?” The messenger said and it was obvious he was just a mere messenger but apart from that, this was irrefutable proof that my Adolf was behind May and her mothers attack, if this man was his messenger then it was safe to assume he had used him and some other person to kill them“He also says I should inform you that you should come alone, he would really appreciate it if you do.” His last request instantly irked me. I mean I was not even certain I would honor his request to start with and he now insists that I should come alone?How stupid does he think I am!?He has been attacking Duncan’s territory and he was activ
“We would need to call him” I said as I picked up my phone and dialed my uncles personal cell. By now his goon should have already reached out to him and let him know that I intend to call him and inform him if I plan on coming so he should be expecting my callThe line rang for a brief moment and then he picked “dear, I was expecting your call.” Just as I suspected. “Please tell me this is to inform me that you have finally decided to honor my invitation for dinner and a talk” he answered to me, it would be quiet normal for him to anticipate my call but what I really hopped for was that this was not a trap. Another reason I really wanted going alone so duncan do not get trapped in whatever plan he might be cooking“Yes, I am calling on behalf of the invitation you tendered to me today. I would love to come over for dinner and discuss but before I do that I have some conditions we must address and accept to before I come over” he had to know that I was not stupid, he should have b
