Chapter 90

Demetra.

Contd.

“Um, sorry for the familiarity.” She drops the smile like a bad habit.

Then she claps her hands. “Chop chop! Have you shown her dress? Have you taken her into the closet? Have you-”

“Just take me to the bathroom. I need to get out of this dress.”

“Chop CHOP!” she yells again, so loud that I actually flinch and look back at her. Why is she yelling? There’s no one else here.

“Here. Luna.” The Zelta who was already helping me gestures toward.

“What’s your name?”

“That’s Zelta 12,” Arieth interrupts. “Elena never wanted to call them by their names-”

“I am not Elena.” I turn to look Arieth dead in the eye. “And I am not speaking to you.”

Her mouth snaps shut.

“Like I said.” I look back at the girl. “What is your name?”

“My name is Becky.”

“Becky, please… show me the bathroom.”

“Right this way.”

As I start to move, the rest of the Zeltas….a whole line of them follow like ducks.

“I don’t need all of you.” I frown.

Why would I need an entourage just to take a shower?

“But you need someone to massage your shoulders while you bathe,” Arieth calls out, “clean your feet-”

I just glare at her..

I think she’s still used to Elena’s nonsense. Oh, moons. This is all because I got Elena divorced from Emris, isn’t it? Of course. That’s why I’m being punished.

Alpha Emris.

“You brought her here?” Mom asks but I’m looking at Teddy instead who just walked into the scene.

The housekeepers are filling the place with peonies flowers for the bonding ceremony. The elders are already present… they’re all whispering in their designated spaces about my decision that came out of nowhere. Yeah. I’m reinstating a new Luna, so those talks are needed. Plus, she’s my true mate.

Chapter 90

It will be over their tongues and into the public before the night is done anyway.

The way Silver has been walking back and forth with a phone call in his ear and security keeps running in to report things tells me there’s a horde of news reporters at the gate. But I don’t want this to hit the public, so no.

“Emris-

“Yes, sweet mother.”

“Are you sure that the girl is my granddaughter?”

“Yes. I just spent the past hours transfusing my own blood into her… this is not something they told me, it’s something I witnessed myself.” I clench my jaw at the memory of the tubes, the way my blood left my body and became hers. I watched it happen

“Sir.” Arieth comes out.

“How is Amira’s room coming up?”

“It’s been fixed already. Your daughter is gonna love it.”

“Good.” I put my hand on my lips, pressing hard enough to feel my own teeth beneath the skin.

“I have a granddaughter.” Mom murmurs again, and I look at the elders behind her. She hasn’t believed it since she heard. When it came through the intercom, she said it’s a mistake, that I would never say that. And now that she’s hearing it from my mouth, she’s still asking if I’m sure.

Yeah, like I didn’t sow my wild oats in Demetra.

“Mom. please make yourself useful and find out what the elders are saying. When I come back downstairs, I’m coming with Demetra and I want the ceremony to start at once.”

I walk towards Teddy. She looks like she’s investigating. I hope she’s not taking information to give it back to that boyfriend of hers.

“I hope you’re not doing what I’m thinking.” I whisper.

“You know I’ve always known I had an ass for a brother, but I didn’t think he was this much ass. Her kid is in the hospital and you-”

“Our kid.” I correct.

“Regardless, you just found out that Amira’s yours like five hours ago…”

“NO. I found out my blood was flowing through that little girl’s veins in a time where I could lose her… and before you look

at me like I’m some monk who’s supposed to have morality, I didn’t force Demetra… she said yes.”

“Demetra would never say yes-”

“If she can fuck me, she can marry me.”

Teddy recoils instantly. “Ew.”

“Yeah. Ew.”

Silver ends his phone call and steps over, rubbing a hand over the back of his neck.
