Chapter Eighty Five
It had been a maid at the door; I had left so quickly I couldn’t get even a single word from their conversation.
I didn’t know whether to feel at ease that my mother was back or more anxious. What had she done? Why was she injured? Where had she gone
Those were the questions on my mind–questions I would not be getting an answer to ‘yet‘. She had said we would talk later–how much time is considered as ‘later‘? I was only going to give her a few hours, and then I would be back. I didn’t like what was going on, and I had to know. I was more than ready to help now, if only she would trust me enough to tell me.
“Is Axel alright?” I asked Thane, trying at anything to get my mind off my mother; she hadn’t
and so I was going to go to her; her time was up and I needed answers
come to me,
“Yes. He is”
“I hadn’t seen him since the date,” I said.
“He is pretty engaged,” Thane answered and then paused.
“Anything wrong?” I questioned
“No, I just got mind–linked by Axel; it seems like Slade loves this pack more than he lets out.
“What?”
“A messenger from my father is here, and there is a high possibility he is on his way here too.”
I didn’t like the sound of that one bit, and I was even more worried about how calm Thane was.
“Can’t you like… not let him in?”
“I have no problem with his visit,” Thane answered. “Actually curious on why he is back here so soon,” he says as he puts on his shirt.
“I’m coming with you?”
“What?” That seems to surprise him more than the return of his abusive father.
“I am the Luna; I think it’s time I act the part. I need to know all the happenings of the pack,” I explained, and Thane didn’t seem to like the idea “Please?” I added softly.
“Okay,” he agrees, and I am surprised at the fact that he actually agreed to this.
“Thank you,” I said, getting dressed too.
“His messenger is already here; Slade would be here in a matter of hours,” Thane says, and that doesn’t help my anxiety even one bit.

I followed him out of the room, and he led me into his office. I tried memorizing the way here just in case I needed to visit him during working hours, I didn’t know if that was allowed, but with the contract now void, I guess I could try a few things and find out.
Just then five more men walked in, four of whom I was familiar with; they were the high- ranking pack commanders. I had dined with them on multiple occasions and have spotted them a few times during feasts. The last one I had never seen, so I assumed he was the messenger sent by Slade.
“Alpha” they called, bowing in show of submission, Thane gave them no mind.
“This must be very important,” Thane said to the man in the middle–the messenger I assumed.
“Yes. I am here on an important errand,” the messenger said. He placed a little container on the table as the other four men sat. “This container contains a sleeping potion; it had been used on the Alpha King, Slade. Somehow the guilty had managed to slip this into his drink, and he hadn’t been able to detect it. When the Alpha felt asleep, the guilty had sneaked into his room and had attempted murder.” The messenger explained, and for some reason I felt
nervous.
“So… is this the matter of importance you and your Alpha had come all this way to speak to me about?, You must know that Slade has so many enemies, so this shouldn’t be a surprise,” Thane said to
the messenger. I didn’t miss how he had called his father’s by his name again, leaving no hint of respect or acknowledgement in his tone.
“What is of concern is the fact that we ‘know‘ the offender is a member of this pack. Maybe even here as we speak.”

To all my Emmy’s squad;
I know two chapters a day is not sufficient, I understand how tiring it is to wait for new updates, but I plead you bear with me, I wish I could go beyond this….
