Chapter Fifty Six
Chapter Fifty Six
Alexander wasn’t in his office; neither was he in the meeting room.
I walked into Phil’s–one of the council members and the eldest among them all.
“Luna,” he called, bowing.
“Phil. I wonder if you have an idea where the Alpha is now
“He is in the bar, Luna- I don’t advise you go to him now,
“Why?” I asked.
“He is a bit… occupied.”
“Point me in the direction to the bar and I’ll be on my way.

If he was having sex with a whore, I would feel it.
I stopped before the ‘bar.‘ The only thing blocking my view of the room was a curtain made of beads. I took a deep breath and walked in.
The place reeked of alcohol as expected. I spotted Alexander; he had a bottle in his hand, and sitting beside him was Austin, another council member.
Three naked women danced on poles; the one in the middle had her eyes trained on Alexander. The strange feeling I had felt earlier in the Gray Moon Pack resurfaced. Jealousy I didn’t like the fact that Alexander watched them, though he made no move towards her.
Phil was right; I shouldn’t have come. Right before I could silently walk out of the room, the voice stopped me.
“Here for some wine, Kaida?” Alexander’s voice called. Of course, he had seen me. I turned to him.
“No. I wanted to speak to you, but I guess it can wait.”
“Everyone out.” He said, and Austin rose to his feet and walked out; the naked women followed. I watched the last one, the very one who had her eyes on Alexander, and I felt a strange dislike for her. It was an uncalled–for emotion; she was a whore, he is a filthy rich, good–looking man, and also the Alpha; of course he would be the focus.
“You shouldn’t have sent them out—I could have waited,” I said, though my voice sounded a bit fake. That was because I was trying to hide how angry I felt.
“I don’t want to keep you waiting.‘
I lingered at the entrance a few seconds longer before walking to him.
“I wanted to thank you for bringing the girl back… It means a lot to me.” I said to him, but his eyes remained on my lips.
“You are angry; I can tell- and mad at me too.”
“I am not.”
“You are also very… jealous.”
“I have no reason to be jealous.”

He drew closer to me. “I brought the girl back because I knew it would make you happy, and I want you happy.”
“Do you?”
“Yes. I do.” He answered genuinely.
“You were right,” I said to him. “I thought I could go on and not feel a thing, but those few seconds, when the darkness took over and I thought I would die… I wanted you
Earlier, I was jealous. I didn’t like the way the whore looked at you; I don’t like the fact you watched her… display
