Chapter 9: Reunion...
Selene POV
Lucius scanned the length of my body; I could see recognition and doubt flicker in his eyes. It was as if he was trying to remember where he saw me.
Xavier on the other hand, didn't say a word. The only reaction I got was an arched brow before he settled on his chair.
"Shouldn't you apologize first for keeping us?" Gamma Theo said coldly.
He was still the same as before. I knew Gamma Theo for his temper and his rashness whenever things didn't go his way.
"You fixed an appointment without my consent and you expect me to run here like a little girl? Didn't Alpha Noah, tell you he was sending one of his advisors and not a maid in his palace?"
"And don't you know how to respect authority where you come from?" Theo threw back.
"That's alright," Lucius rested a hand on Theo's arm before turning to address me, "I apologize for fixing the meeting without your consent. Next time, we'll be sure to consult you,".
My heart fluttered in my chest as I stared at him. I had taken great care of my appearance this morning because I knew, more than anyone, that Lucius would recognize me. Now staring at him, my heart was pounding anxiously. Did he know who I was?
He had greyed a little, but aside from that, the sharpness in his eyes was still there.
He paused for a second, as his pupils went black, a sign he was mind-linking.
