Chapter Fifty Six

Emily's POV 

Melissa opened the door and walked out. Behind the door I heard the two of them have an exchange of conversation.

“Fayne, it's you.”

“That's right.”

“You're here to have a chat with the Luna?”

“You bet I am.” She responded. “Anyway, I'm off.”

“Have a good one.”

Then I heard a knock on the door.

“Luna, it's me Fayne. Am I allowed to come in?”

“Yeah, sure.” I responded.

The door opened and I looked at Fayne.

“We shouldn't even be talking in my room but Jacob isn't here so...”

“Would you like for us to go somewhere more convenient?” He asked me and I shrugged.

“Just take a seat.”

Fayne nodded.

I sat down on a chair and he did the same.

“So why are you here?”

“I…” his hair danced all over his face then he cleared his throat and tucked a strand of hair behind his ear.

“Will you go to crystal pack with Matteo?” He asked me.

“Yeah,” I responded. “I mean Jacob isn't here, but the beta is. He'll take care of things while I'm gone.”

“Right.” He held in a breath. Then he sighed. “One of Matteo’s men came to me and told me to tell you to prepare yourself. A carriage will be prepared for you to go to crystal pack tomorrow.”

“I see. Will you be coming with me Fayne?”

“I'm your slave I go wherever you go.”

“Not necessarily, you can also choose to stay here at Galahad pack. What do you think?”

“Without me earning my keep, I'll feel useless.” He said.

“Well is that right?”

I sighed. “Just come with me then, I have no time to keep playing games with you. Now tell me if there's something you want, I'll reward you.”

Fayne did not say a word.

“Go on, tell me…”

“Nothing.” Fayne said.

I sighed. “I'll make my decisions on what to get you. You may leave.”

“Yes Luna. But before I go, have you eaten?”

I hesitated. I hadn't eaten, I was busy in Jacob's office all day.

“No I haven't eaten.” I responded.

“What would you like to have?” He asked me and I hummed thoughtfully.

“I would like to have some spaghetti and chicken. Make the sauce extra spicy.” I said with a wink which made him nod.

“And what would you like for refreshments?”

“I would like some orange juice and water.”

“Okay, I'll go make it for you now.”

I smirked. “Make it for me? Aren't you just going to the kitchen to get it?”

He shook his head. “The kitchen didn't make spaghetti but there's some chicken.”

“Okay, go make the food then. I'll be waiting.” 

He nodded at me and got up to his feet. “Okay.”

A smile crossed my cheek as i watched him leave.

When Fayne came back with the tray of food and placed it on the table, I took a forkful of the spaghetti and sauce and moaned.

“Hmmm, so delicious!”

I watched Fayne smile and then cleared his throat. I took a sip of the orange juice and sighed.

“Have you eaten yet, Fayne?”

“Not yet.” He responded.

I nodded.

“Why not?”

“I'm going to eat right after, don't worry about me.”

“Okay. By the way, I have something to tell you.”

“Finish the food first,” he told me. I ate the food calmly and enjoyed myself. When I was done eating, I drank some water and placed the tray aside.

“So what is it that you want to tell me, Fayne?”

“It's pretty simple. Jacob gave me the key to his office before he left. Do you think that's a symbol of him trusting me?”

“It's more of a symbol in his attempt to use you,”

I smirked. 

“So he's not giving me a break?”

“It's highly possible that when he comes back from his travels that he will expect more from you in directing and leading others.”

“But right now, his beta is in charge.”

“It won't last for a long time. You have to prepare to seize power, that's the only way you'll be safe.” He said.

“Do you think the beta will easily relinquish power to me?” I smirked. “I haven't even proved myself enough yet.”

“You don't understand this well enough. It's a game.”

“What?”

“The Alpha is probably trying to check his beta by using you to replace him. That's why he gave you the key to his office. Usually, only betas and Lunas in hierarchy are allowed to go there.”

“I see.”

“Don't worry too much about it though. Just follow every step that I tell you.”

“What step?”

“It's clear that the Alpha has an arrangement for you so just follow it.”

“There's also something else that I want you to know.” I told Fayne.

“And what is that?”

“The Alpha has a werewolf that he's in a relationship with.”

“Whoa, that's not shocking really. And I wouldn't really call that a relationship if she has no choice than to yield to his wishes. Afterall, he's the Alpha.”

“You have a point, but this werewolf, she's a nurse.”

“My words remain the same. It's difficult to say no to an Alpha.”

I sighed deeply.

“I guess all I have to do is take things one step at a time then.”

“Maybe.” Fayne responded. 

I took a sip of my juice and Fayne smiled at me, but then he looked away.

“I should get going now.” he said.

“Right. Goodnight, Fayne.”

“I'll wait for you at the gate tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

I ran my fingers through my hair and watched as Fayne bowed slightly and walked out with the tray of the now leftovers meal, closing the door behind him.

As soon as he was gone, I walked to the windows and opened it. The outside was beautiful and the moon shone brightly in the dark skies.

“Rose, will we ever make it?” I asked my wolf out loud and I felt my wolf's energy flow within me.

“Well, it's only a matter of time.” She responded back.
