Chapter 93

Demetra Convenant.

Contd.

Susan and Summer step away from me.

“Head chef, do I need to remind you that you belong in the kitchen and that’s where we pay you to work?”

I’m so sorry, ma’am… I’ll—”

“I was speaking to them.”

I walk toward Desisha.

Five years might not sound like much to wolves like her, but it was enough for me to harden. Enough to make me stop shrinking under people who think old power gives them permanent authority.

Her wolf-cut hair that falls over her forehead is still sharp. She’s a woman who loves her bodycon dresses regardless of age and regardless of whether her husband is dead or alive. Everyone in the pack knew that she had a favorite gamma she slept with. What was his name? Radu. I wonder if that monster is still in the pack.

Years ago, it was gossip between the housekeepers, but we would never dare say it out loud.

Radu was a type of gamma that comes from the Delta. The Delta are sort of the black ops of the Covenant pack…trained different and for different purposes. Out of that Delta are some who are called exclusives. They call them exclusives because they usually swear an oath of silence and never speak. Radu followed Derisha everywhere, and she usually used him to punish and intimidate. Well, rumors were he was more than just a gamma to her.

I can tell Derisha doesn’t like that I’m looking back.

They are housekeepers. I get you used to be a maid but…it’s different now. They are no longer your friends.”

‘I don’t remember a Luna being one that took rules from anyone. Therefore, I can speak to whoever I want, however I want. and whenever I want. Or are you planning to have Radu strip me naked again? By the way… where is that fuck gamma of

yours?

I look around and Derisha’s face twitches as fast as the speed of light!

Oh, I guess her sons don’t know.

“Watch your mouth little girl!” That eyeliner on her eyes sharpens as she looks around, wondering who else heard that!

She is usually like this…all dolled up as if she has an event when she usually doesn’t. Her nails are freshly done. Her jewellery probably costs more than a house. She looks like she’s attending a gala, not standing in a hallway at eight in the morning

“And of course, a Luna doesn’t take orders from anyone. But take this one….cat something. You fainted after being marked by my son. You should have some breakfast-

“I am going to see my daughter. Jones, can you get a car ready for me?”

“Yes, Luna.”

“You don’t need to do that.” Derisha says, and starts walking as if she wants me to follow her.

1 follow, until we get outside where there is a bunch of staff fixing pink balloons at the entrance of the pack house. A huge bubble sign that says Welcome Home, Princess Amira in glittering letters.

Did I forget that as a pack that started as royalty…of course Amira is a princess. Staff go past me carrying gifts.

“My son is bringing her home. He left on his own because you were sound asleep. So just wait-”

I walk off from Derisha while she’s still talking and start calling Dad. If Emris is bringing Amira here, then…..

I already sent a message to Dad saying it would come to this before I walked right in to bond with Emris. It was Slade I was messaging when that damn Emris decided to do that phone-snatching thing—

“Dad?” I say when he picks up.

I can hear the weight of sleepless hours in his exhale.

“I’m fine before you ask. I Emris is bringing Amira here… don’t fight it. Try not to get Slade to-”

“We won’t.” Dad cuts me off. “You didn’t even give us a chance to.”

I exhale. Maybe I didn’t. Maybe I’m just tired of fighting. Emris does have every judge on his payroll, and maybe we had a chance to fight for custody, but regardless, we would have to share her. And Amira will have to belong here. I can’t let her belong here all by herself. She’s only five years old. She needs her mother.

‘I’m sorry. Dad. I-”

‘No. Never apologize. Are you okay?”

‘Yes. I am.”

I would have stormed the Black Covenant pack with all my militia if I didn’t get your message.” Dad says, and I can picture

hat.

Tiffany told me you and Emris have been seeing each other and going on dates… secretly?”

close my eyes in embarrassment. Now my dad knows that the big bad wolf he tried to save me from is someone I’ve been having an affair with. Behind everyone’s back.

Yes. I say the truth.

You know, I didn’t understand why Emris would barge in to stop your bonding with Seth like that.” Dad’s voice is almost huckling now. “But now I do. He is in love with you.”

I’m pretty sure he can hear my breathing through the phone. The way it catches. The way it stutters. In love with me? Well… naybe before….not after he knows I hid Amira from him. Love doesn’t survive that kind of betrayal. I’m old enough to know

hat.

Emris was here in the hospital,” Dad continues. “Got Amira a hundred stuffies on her hospital bed, along with his little boy o cheer her up. Emris told her he was gonna take her to you. For all his bad, I don’t think he’s a bad father And I think he really wants a relationship with her.” A pause. “Unfortunately, it’s ending up this way”

Was Amira happy?” My voice cracks on the words. Splits right down the middle
