It was Raphael who spoke. Selene began to explain things. It turns out she was pregnant even before Marius found his mate and when he did find Eliza, Marius told her she had to leave the clan and she did. She left the clan and went to the fairy’s territory and there, she had her baby after nine months. Kai was born in the fairies’ land and no one knew about him except his darling father who visited him all the time.
Everyone was shocked at the turn of events. Lucian was furious, furious at his father for such a betrayal. He was too furious to speak calmly to anyone. He rose from his seat.
“I am going to bed.”
He said rudely and no one made objections. He started walking away and Alexia followed him. Raphael told the rest of them to go to bed too and they will have the meeting the next day.
When Lucian got into his room, he started kicking everything in sight. He was furious. Alexia got inside too and ran towards Lucian. When she got to where he was, she cupped his face into her hands and turned him to look at her, and he did. His face was burning red with rage and Alexia pulled him down and kept his forehead on hers, their faces only inches apart. His was closed.
“Look at me.”
Alexia whispered to him and he opened his eyes and looked into her silver ones.
He looked into her silver ones and they remained in that position, looking into each other’s eyes. Lucian was calming down, his eyes which were starting to turn red had become a deep shade of black again. He was inhaling her scent into his lungs and his red face turned into a shade of light pink, and then it went back to white. Alexia gave him a quick kiss and then pulled him in for a hug.
To be honest, she was furious too. She was furious as to why Lucian’s brother had to come back now that Lucian had made way for rulership. She was furious as to why Lucian’s father had to make a fool out of his mother, the woman did not even know that her husband and mate had a child. It reminded her so much of Hayley and Damian and their betrayal. Lastly, she was furious because she would not be queen. Her thirst for importance was getting deeper and deeper.
She disengaged from the hug and aided Lucian to sit on the bed. Lucian obeyed like a little puppy and she was moved with pity, his father had no right to make a fool out of everyone. She had to do something. He sat on the bed and she knelt before him and cupped his face in her palms.
“Look at me.”
She demanded. He did.
“Tomorrow, you will meet with him again. You have to get a hold of yourself. He has seen that he affects you, show him that he does not. Whatever they decide, agree with it. He might rule but not for too long.”
Her silver eyes looked sharp and evil. He wanted to ask her what she meant, he had a lot of questions for her. But he was tired. It had been a long day and the arrival of kai was devastating enough. He took off his clothes and lay on the bed, in no time at all, he started snoring. Alexia went to freshen up and when she got out, she joined him on the bed. But she could not sleep, she had to look for a way to take the new obstacle away.
The next day, Lucian woke up late. When he woke up, the morning sun was up and its rays were penetrating the window blinds causing the room to be bright. He sat up and Alexia was there in the room. She wore a black flowing gown as usual and tied her hair up in a bun. She stood at the door of the closet, looking at him. When he saw her, their eyes met and she smiled. He did not.
“Get ready. The meeting is soon.”
She said and made to go out of the room. She heard Lucian groan loudly before she opened the door and went out. She was going to meet her. She was going to meet Selene, she had a lot of explaining to do.
When she got to the woman’s room, she did not knock, she barged into it and the woman was startled at first when she saw Alexia come into her room. Alexia came in and closed the door behind her. The woman was looking at her suspiciously. She came over to where the woman was sitting on the bed but she didn’t sit, she stood, looking down at the woman. She could see the fear in her eyes and it appealed so much to Alexia.
“Why?”
Alexia asked in a calm voice. The woman knotted her brows in confusion.
“Why what?”
The woman asked and Alexia could feel her voice laced with fear. She smiled inwardly, just what she expected, a scared little cat for a lycan.
“Why did you have to bring your illegitimate child now? Oh, I’ll tell you, to get back at Eliza for taking your man away. You were such a coward to do it while she was alive and you know you had to do it when she’s dead.”
Alexia’s voice rose and echoed in the room. The woman stood up at this point, she was shorter than Alexia and she looked up at Alexia. Alexia looked down at her and squinted her silver eyes, they looked intimidating and behind that bold woman that stood up, she could see a scared little cat.
“Watch your tongue little girl.”
The woman’s voice rose too and Alexia scoffed.
“It seems eating too many fruits with the fairies has made your head go blocked that you forgot to make research. I am Alexia, Alpha female of the werewolf territories, ruler of the four werewolf packs.”
