Chapter 60: Marry two wives...
Noah POV
Something was wrong...
I could feel it, I could sense it... first, the sudden presence of the West at my wedding had come as a shocker to me. They rarely honoured invitations like that and I noticed that they had sent a Beta to me... an indication that the message was important.
"Do you know why they want to see me?" I asked under my breath to Reid.
"I have no idea, Your Majesty," he said sullenly and continued walking. He has been this way since I returned from my trip to Greyhound and had expressed my intention to marry Selene.
"Don’t tell me you’re still angry?" I sighed "C’mon, Reid... You’ve been on my neck all these years forcing me to get married... and now that I’m married, you don’t approve of who I choose as my Luna,".
"There are tons of women out there who are far better and more qualified to run the affairs of this kingdom with you perfectly... why Selene? The gratitude and benevolence you have shown her is enough... why did you take it a step further to marry her?"
"It’s called, love, Reid," I said quietly "You know I’ve been attracted to her for a while and that attraction grew into love. I truly love her. I swear by the moon,".
"Love?" he scoffed "You think you love her? You’ve been bewitched, your majesty. Selene Thorne is a cunning woman and I can’t understand why you cannot look beyond her beauty and see that she has a purpose... why..."
"That’s enough!" I said coldly interrupting him "Have you forgotten your place, Reid? That is the Luna you’re talking about. Just because I allow you free access to me all the time doesn’t mean you can disrespect my wife like that,".
"I wasn’t made your Beta to soothe your ego, Noah!" Reid chuckled coldly "Neither am I going to stop telling you the truth. Selene is a threat to us... your marriage to her is not going to sit with all the Lords who had high expectations that you were going to marry one of their daughters," he paused
