Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79

He shrugs, “It wasn’t a problem before but now it is.” He laughs, watching me sniff myself when all I can scent is her. “When Aeliana says you stink, she doesn’t refer to your natural scents or artificial ones, she means the ones on you.”

“I’m not following,” I frown.

“You happen to have a very clingy ex who won’t accept your relationship is over and she’s like a koala bear on you.”

Audrey.

No, I’ve explained things to her.

She knows we can’t be together, she might be having a little trouble with it, but she knows. I made it clear the last time she tried to suck my cock in my office. “It’s not—”

Rowan raises his hands in surrender, “I’m not slandering her or her attachment issues, I simply mean to tell you that you stink to Aeliana because of her. She can smell her on you and it’s upsetting, that’s probably the reason why she always lashes out.”

“No, that can’t be it.” I shake my head. All that attitude just because of a faint scent of someone else on my clothes? No, she doesn’t get jealous. “I don’t even smell like her, it must be a subtle scent, I’ve never in any way smelled like her.”

“You do,” he argues. “It might be a subtle scent, but you two were set to get engaged soon after your inauguration. It’s different from if she were to scent Dani on you.”

“It’s not,” I argue. I hug Danielle, and a few others too, their scent lingers the same.

“Dani is my wife,” he sighs. “Audrey is your ex. How would you react to smelling another man on her? Not Damien, he doesn’t count.”

I don’t happen to be unreasonably jealous like he suggests Aeliana is being. I don’t react without reason. If she didn’t like that. Why didn’t she come to me about it? Her problem with me is bigger than just scenting Audrey on

“Well, if it were faintly on her…” I trail off, remembering how it irritated me that I could scent Damien on her the night of my nephew’s birthday dinner. I wanted to punch the smile off his face countless times.

“Wrong answer,” Rowan sighs. “Let’s circle back to this conversation when it actually happens. I might actually tell her to provoke you with another man’s scent on her just to prove my point.”

“Don’t be childish,” I scoff.

He shrugs, smiling still. “Do you think I have time to squeeze in a nap before we leave for our meeting?”

Meeting?

I quickly glance at my schedule, and there’s nothing on it today. Nothing that I can’t handle from the comfort of my office. “What meeting?”

“The one you so desperately wanted, you know, to move your inauguration up,” he reminds me. “It was confirmed last night.”

“What do you mean? Dad said I couldn’t move up the inauguration unless I consummated my marriage, how did

he know that happened already?”

“I didn’t call him, he called me.” He yawns, “He seems have spies around the house and they called him, I only confirmed it sometime after.”

I pause.

I knew he was invested in mine and Aeliana’s marriage but not his much. Not enough to have people reporting my every move to him, it unsettles me. What else has been reported back to him? “Who the hell was watching us?”

Rowan lets out a brief yet amused laugh. “I doubt anyone had to have been watching you, you guys were pretty loud yesterday, half that wing had to sleep elsewhere.”

“You’re exaggerating.”

“Nope,” he argues. “Thank God, Aeliana is quiet.”
