Chapter 144
I was feeling very hungry, coupled with the fact that I had gotten my wolf back. Tiara was fun to have but she wouldn’t tell me about what happened in our previous lives and if Eros was our mate in this life.
In her words, “there are things you should discover and learn by yourself. It is needed for our survival”
My muscles ached and my body felt a little sore, but I knew that a warm meal would soothe my senses.
Thus. I went downstairs and the first thing I noticed was the delicious smell of food wafting through the kitchen,
My stomach rumbled again, and I skipped the
last two stairs and jumped down on the floor, heading straight towards the kitchen.
“Good morning, what are you cooking?” I peered my head inside through the door and saw Glinda hurriedly filling bowls of
soup.
With a spoon in her hand and a bit of the flour clinging to her apron, she turned to look at me.
“Good morning, Miss Eden. Congratulations on your shifting into your wolf,” She smiled at me and I beamed.
“You must be famished, so I cooked some extra meal packed with protein for you.” She added as I entered the kitchen and took a fruit from the counter.
The sweet taste of the bananna rolled over my tongue as I leaned over her shoulder to get a good look at what was cooking.
There was not just soup, but scrambled eggs, grilled chicken salad, some meat sandwiches, and a few dishes I did not know the
names of.
I rubbed a my hand on my belly as I looked at the food hungrily,
“Go grab a seat. I am just serving the meal.
“You are the best,” I said while rushing out to the table and grabbing a chair. I looked around as the servants went about their business when I saw Arthur climbing down the stairs.
“Hey there” I waved at him, and he gave me a bright smile.
“See? Didn’t I tell you I would grab you by lunch soon.” I smiled as he pulled the chair on the opposite side of the table directly in front of me and sat on it.
“So, are you done with work?” I asked as he took an apple from the table and put it in his mouth.
“Yeah, that I think. King Eros just goes too deep into everything. He crosscheckes and reconfirmed everything.” He said, and I chuckled, ignoring the odd fluttering in my stomach upon hearing his name..
He and Olivia were still probably working, but I didn’t mind.
k for news about the silver moon pack.
That would give me more time to talk to Arthur and ask for
100
“So, how was your trip? Did you meet a lot of people?” I asked in a friendly tone as Glinda and the other servants began to bring in food.
“Hmm. It should not have taken me so much time, but with this rogue King showing up out of nowhere, I had to take a few more precautions.”.
“Hmm. I nodded absent–mindedly. I had just forgotten about the rogue king and that he might have sent Theo after me.
I should have enquired more about him to Theo when we spoke a while ago, but I was too caught up with my longing for home- missing my mom and possibly meeting her again.
I made a mental note to take that topic up whenever I spean to Theo again.
“Are the packs safe? I mean, I heard the rogue King is being very harsh and tricky. I hope nobody got hurt so far.” Arthur was playing with the spoon instead of having his soup as he seemed lost in thoughts.
Chapter 111
“Yeah. Pack brawls are a usual thing. Nothing that the alphas can’t take care of on their own. As for the rogue King, he is just trying to increase his pack strength for now from what I hear. He does not have a large force to launch an attack. Probably he lost most of them in the battles or something… He trailed off, but my fear about my mother and my supposed father, Alpha
Grillin
“I see,” Imumbled as worry began to gnaw at me again.
“Hey, but enough talk about work. I have been talking about that for the past three or four hours with the King Now, I just want to talk about something else.” He said and finished his soup.
My ears twitched when I heard the door to Eros office open. He and Oivia were talking and were headed towards the dining table probably given that it was lunch time: gulped and tried to hastily finish my soup
“Tve got to go,” I said and Athur looked up at me in surprise, “Where are you going? You barely had soup. Your wolf needs strength, girl.” He called out, but I pushed the chair forward and muttered,
“I just feel tired. I will have the food later I guess
“No, don’t do that. You will only feel more weak,” He added, wondering why was I behaving so strangely all of a sudden
I lied “I guess my wolf got mood swings, I muttered and stepped away from the table, but Olivia had already called me out.
“Hey girl, where are you going? We have to create a plan to work out together.” She said and I looked up to see a pair of blue eyes staring at me.
This girl was bipolar. One minute she would glare at me, and other times she behaved as if I was her best friend in the world.
“I am just…not hungry,” I answered, but Athur got up from his seat and literally dragged me back to the table.
I tried to resist, but he had already pushed me into the chair before knew it. “You need protein. If you skip meals, you will end up getting more exhausted.”
We were seated on the corner chairs on the opposite side, the length running along almost half the room, and were busy eating so I had not even realized that there was another big chair sitting by the width of the table “Uh, sorry sweetie, but can you pick any other chair?”
Olivia batted her eyelashes at me whileEros pulled the big chair behind, its legs scraping on the floor slightly
He was going to sit beside me for the rest of the lunch? I wouldn’t be able to eat with his eyes staring down at me either way.
So I hastily got up from the chair, much to Athur’s disappointment.
“Hey, let her be” He looked at Olivia, who only gave him a wry smile.
“I just wanted to talk a few more things about work to him. Besides, the chairs adjacent to the Kings are meant to be occupied by the Beta or someone of a higher rank.” Arthuropened his mouth to say something, but I did not want to argue. I stepped away and simply went to sit beside Arthur.
Eros watched me walk over to the other side with his eyes furrowed. I sat near Athur and was glad to put some distance from the King who looked a little annoyed.
Olivia got into the chair in front of Athur and Clinda politely asked, “Soup or directly, the main course, King?”
“Get the main course. I have a lot of pending work to do,” He said.
He closed his eyes, and I saw him rubbing his temples. He looked a little tired, and he had probably not gotten rest since last night.
Now that I thought about him, he had been in a meeting all day yesterday, then night I awakened my wolf and by the time we returned in the morning, Olivia was waiting for him.
The rogue threat was really putting a lot of pressure on him.
His hair was messy, and he probably had not even gotten the time to comb his hair. I wondered for a minute what it would feel to roam my hands over that silky mane, but then I sternly reminded myself to ignore such thoughts.
tell me all about your wolf awakening. Eden,” Arthur suddenly said out of nowhere.
