Savannah’s POV
“This is a new one, would you like to taste mistress?” Jenny grinned, placing the hot tea cup on the table. I glanced at the beautiful colour of the liquid where some dry petals are floating.
“New one?” I raised my eyebrows.
“Yes” she nodded “I just got the new packet last night. The deliver of the new items got delayed for some reasons but I am glad it got delivered at the end”
I grabbed the cup and took a sip. The amazing taste of the tea melted in my mouth but the freshness lingered longer than usual.
“Umm…. you are right, this is really good. Completely perfect”
“I told you” Jenny looked happy “I knew you will like it”
I smiled looking at her happy face. I am glad I could befriend such an amazing girl. Jenny the daughter of the chef. She used to help her father in the kitchen and always engaged herself in work. Where other members engage themselves in fighting and training themselves, she was in the kitchen taking care of the meal and sometimes helping her father in cooking too.
“You are still staying in the kitchen today?” I asked as I took another sip of the tea.
“Um…. that’s my work mistress. The chef needs me in the kitchen. Everyday there’s new delivery for the goods and I really need to check on them”
“I told you, you can just call me by my name”
She smiled “I can’t. Master dislikes when someone breaks the rules and specially when others don’t give you respect”
I sighed. That man is always controlling everything. I sometimes wonder how he manages to do all these things.
“Wow, what great surprise” I turned my head to see Ryan standing with a smirk.
“Hello Luna, I didn’t expect that you would be in the kitchen” he said as he walked closer.
I raised my eyebrows “oh, so being a mistress means I couldn’t come here”
He laughed “of course not. The whole house is yours Luna. Alpha has already declared it widely” he grinned.
“I will go and see if there is any help needed in the kitchen mistress” Jenny left hurriedly.
I frowned at her behaviour. She was all calm a few seconds ago. Then how come she became so restless instantly. Shaking my head I turned my head towards Ryan and about to ask but paused when I saw him gazing at the back of retreating Jenny who almost ran inside the kitchen. I raised my eyebrows.
“Do you need anything Ryan? ” I asked, popping my chin on my palm.
Ryan turned to look at me. A smirk playing on his lips.
“I mean from the kitchen?” I added.
He shook his head “no, I was just here for water” he replied and grabbed one of the water bottles which was placed in the wooden shelf on the wall.
“Do you know where is Hardwick?” I asked him. It has been two days since we last talked. After that I was not blessed enough to see him. Or maybe he is angry after the talk that he wants to avoid me?
“Why? Are you missing him?” Ryan smirked again. A devilish glint flashing in his eyes. He is teasing me isn’t it?
I tilted my head and gave him a smile “no, I want to kiss him right now so can you tell me where he is?”
Ryan who was drinking water choked suddenly and he coughed holding his chest. I ignored him and focused myself on enjoying the tea Jenny made for me.
*Cough*
*Cough*
“Um…. I…. ahem…. Alpha was quite busy so he stayed in his study dealing with some matters. I guess he will be free today”
I nodded “you should drink carefully Ryan” I smiled at him.
Ryan wiped his mouth using the back of his hand “will remember that Luna”
I got up and smiled before striding out of the dining room. I know today’s action might have choked to the point of pain. Because I can see his face was a little pale after coughing but teasing me at the wrong moment is not something appropriate. But what troubling me was just what kind of problem Hardwick was facing that he couldn’t meet me for two days? Is it any kind of danger looming over the pack?
I sighed and walked towards the room. I want to see him but I really don’t want to disturb him with his work. When I opened the room door I saw a flower bouquet resting on the glass table with a white note. I frowned and walked towards it. Grabbing the note I opened the paper.
THE TIME WE SPENT ARE THE MEMORIES OF OUR PASSIONATE AFFECTION. DO YOU STILL REMEMBER IT?
I frowned as I read the line. Is it from Hardwick? But looking at the line, I really don’t think he will write something like this. If this is not from him then who sent it?
And for whom?
