Chapter 66: Power is seducing...
Selene POV
I exhaled with relief as soon as I left Noah and headed back to the pack house.
That was a close one. As long as I can gain his sympathy, everything will be fine. I just need to act like it bothered me too as this was happening. As I rounded the corner, I bumped into Beta Reid leaning against the wall.
I wanted to ask him what he was doing here but I realized it’ll be a total waste of time.
"Are you going to pretend you didn’t see me?" Reid arched his brow, snorting.
"I should be asking you that, Reid," I paused and gave him a hard stare "Have you forgotten what my position is now? I am the Luna and I’ll let this pass because the next time you don’t pay me my respects, I’ll have no choice but to relate it to Noah,".
"And we’re back to the threats again," Reid chuckled giving me a cold glare "You see yourself as one big, scary woman, right? But let me tell you, Selene... you can fool everyone here... but you cannot fool me because I can see right through your deceit,".
"If I wasn’t so busy... let’s say, I didn’t have my hands full, perhaps I would have paid heed to your words but, you mean nothing to me, Reid. You’re not even a piece in the puzzle... I’ll take you out whenever I want to and just so you know..." I wanted to gloat how much Noah loves me but I decided against that.
Turning on my heels, I headed for the pack house. As soon as I entered, I made a beeline for the girl’s room. As I opened the door, I spotted Noah’s father, crouched on the floor with the girls playing building blocks with Vina while Maeve was curled at a corner reading.
I coughed loudly to announce my presence.
"You’re here," Grand Lycan Leonard looked up from where he was huddled with the girls.
