Chapter 43: Passing A Message
Madam Katherine was having breakfast when a knock sounded on her door. Her gaze shifted from the table spread and called out to a servant, "Check who that is."
The omega hurried to the entrance and returned with a wooden box and a short note tuck on top. "It’s a delivery for you, Ma’am."
"A delivery for me?" Madam Katherine’s brow furrowed in puzzlement. She wasn’t expecting anything. But as the possibility dawned on her that it could be from Kael, her eyes lit up and she waved the servant over, "bring it here, quickly." She said, clearing a section of the table.
The omega doubled her steps until getting to the dining table. She carefully lifted the box and placed it on the table before Madam Katherine. As the servant stepped back, Madam Katherine’s fingers reached for the box but halted mid-way. Turning to the servant, she waved her hand.
"You may leave," she said. If Kael had sent it, it was likely something sensitive, something meant for her eyes alone. Her son had gone away from the pack for close to a month and should be returning soon.
Her lips curled into a smile, watching the omega returned to her previous doings. Madam Katherine couldn’t wait for Kael to return and put Reana in her place.
She pulled the box to herself and the note caught her attention. Plucking it from the lid, she opened it to read.
[See this, it’s as a result of an unsafe pack. Stepmother, rogues are roaming the pack lately and it’s very dangerous. If by chance Vivian stopped at your place to catch a breath, tell her to return to my protection. I’d be devastated if her head was suddenly brought to us...]
The smile drained from Madam Katherine’s face, replaced by a sense of foreboding. She knew immediately who had sent the package, and her instincts screamed that it wouldn’t be anything good. Her brows furrowed in trepidation as she halted reading the note mid-sentence, her hands trembling slightly as she flung the lid of the box open.
