Emerald Eyed Luna novel Nina (by Mrs.Smith) novel Chapter 56

“I…I am not sure exactly. I have a really bad feeling about this meeting. I know something is going to happen, I just don’t know what though.”

“NOTHING is going to happen to you! They will have to kill me first!” Wyatt said, very pissed as he cupped my face.

“I didn’t say something was going to happen to me, I just said something was going to happen.”

“Shit!” Reed said as he stood up.

“What is it?” Wyatt asked, standing up also

“A council member is here early” Reed said, looking very grimly at Kelly.

“That is five hours early!” Wyatt said angrily.

“It gets better, Zach said he is waiting in my office. He said there was an urgent matter he needed to speak to Nina about.” Everyone again looked straight at me like they expected me to start bawling or something.

“Well, let’s go see what he wants” I said, trying to sound indifferent as I stood up.

I felt all their concerns even though I have been trying to keep that damn door shut, but occasionally I lose focus and it gets cracked. Wyatt grabbed my hand and Reed grabbed Kelly’s and led us the way to his office. I wasn’t even paying attention to where we were going. I kept repeating my dad’s lesson in my head. Stone-faced, steady heart, showing nothing. Keep calm and don’t let them get to you. Be indifferent.

I ran into Kelly has they came to a stop. “Ouch, sorry” I said quietly. Wyatt had grabbed my waist and held me up.

“Are you sure you are okay with this?” He asked. Reed and Kelly turned to look at me.

“I don’t have a choice”. I took a deep breath and straightened my back. I nodded at Reed and he gave me back an approval nod.

He opened the door and walked in. I am not sure what I was expecting but this was not it. As soon as I walked in, I looked around to see who was all there. Zach and Trevor I knew, a couple guys I didn’t know but recognized from Reed’s warriors, and finally I saw him. On instinct, I stopped walking and stared at him. This caught the attention of everyone in the room, of course. I am pretty proud of myself for showing no emotions and keeping my heart steady though.

It was him, the guy that was following me at the mall and the guy I ran into from the other pack! He was sitting in Reed’s office without a care in the world! I heard someone cough, causing me to break eye contact and finish following Wyatt to our seat. He sat behind Reed’s desk with him. He pulled me to sit on his lap and Reed was sitting at his desk with Kelly on his lap. No one spoke for a minute.

“My name is Reed. I am the Alpha of this pack. I assume you already know that though, what do we owe this pleasure?” Reed said, sounding professional.

“Business,” He said. “I would like to speak with Nina alone.”

“Not happening!” Wyatt said firmly.

“I will tell our warriors to leave, that we will stay” Reed said.

The man nodded but looked very much annoyed. Everyone left and soon there were only five.

“Nina”, the man started. “My name is Grant.”

“Who are you?” I asked emotionlessly.
