Enigma novel Chapter 24

I nodded and turned around to walk home.

“Hop on.” Steven said crouching in front of me.

I didn’t have any energy left to argue so I simply climbed on his back. He zoomed off immediately.

We were ganged in immediately by four people as soon as we crossed the threshold.

“What happened?” Hudson.

“What did you decide?” Lucas.

“What are we doing?” Hudson.

“Mom were you crying?” That was Aria.

I didn’t answer her. Looking at her made me want to cry again.

Archer was standing behind the three but close.

“We have a meeting at seven today. Everyone is going.” Steven answered as I tried not to cry.

“What do you mean by everyone?” Aria asked.

“Just what I said. Everyone.” Steven answered and steered me inside.

As soon as we enter our bedroom, I broke down again. My daughter’s fate will be decided today. I just want to hide her some place safe. Why can’t anyone just let her live in peace?

A minute later a very naked Steven entered the room from the bathroom.

“Come on. I have prepared a bath. We still have two hours to go. Let’s relax a little before we have to face the hell.”

I was about to protest but he picked me up and entered the bathroom. He gently placed me on the counter and removed the dress off of my body.

I wonder what will happen when the twins come to know about the subject of the meeting. God save Zeno’s soul or rather not. I would like to see him get what he deserves. Alas that won’t be a good scene and I would have to restrain them from getting physical with the supposed Alpha no matter how much I want to beat him to pulp myself.

We parked our cars in the space in front of the houses of the pack and started our walk towards the meeting house.

As we entered the clearing, the buzz stopped completely. The atmosphere turned into a stressed one. I could see the confused faces of the children peering at us from the midst of the crowd.

In the crowd, my eyes also fell on Zeno, Fabian and Francis. Two growls ripped through the silence. Mine and Steven’s. I could tell without looking that the rest of my party was shooting daggers at the three snakes. Their heads lowered and I focused on the pack sitting around the three, like trying to protect them. I wanted to laugh so bad but I controlled myself.

“Mommy why are you mad?” Eros asked innocently from my hip.

“Nothing baby. We are just in a sort of problem.”

He nodded.

I shouldn’t have brought him here. He is too young for this.
