Chapter 11: They think we’re dating...
Selene POV
Long after I've sung and crooned the twins' favourite lullaby to them, they finally fell asleep. Tiptoeing out of their room, I went back to the sitting room to work on the proposal I was supposed to send to Lucius.
It was all ceremony and by the end of the week, I'd simply take the twins with me to visit the Pack house, which was the core of every Pack, and watch the heavens do the trick. I get paid and by Tuesday, we'll be on our way back to Moon Whispers.
Since Xavier didn't recognize me, it was no use trying to push it. Right now, I choose to live as if I didn't know he existed, and maybe one day when the girls are grown, they can come look for their father if they want.
Just as I sank into the cushions, my phone chimed, signalling an incoming video call. A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I glanced at the screen. It was a call from Noah. I made myself comfortable before accepting the call.
"Hey," I greeted him with a smile.
"How handsome is Xavier Steele that you had to go two days without talking to me?" Noah said crossly.
"I'm so sorry, dear," I gave him a patronizing pout. "It has been so tedious since my arrival and you know with these little balls of energy,".
"Still," he sighed, "You could have reached out, a text maybe,".
"I'm sorry," I crooned again. "I'll do better,".
In the dense forest where I was holed after the death of the Moon Priestess, Noah and his team rescued me. The Moon Priestess had saved me from drowning after the plane crash. She was old and frail and lived for two months after the birth of my twins.
