Chapter 70: Just getting started...
Selene POV
A small smile settled on my lips as I walked out of the office and came face to face with Brooke, leaning on the wall that led to the corridor where Noah’s office was.
I was familiar with this scene. When I was married to Xavier, in my weak days, Belinda will come to my room several time or whatever opportunity she had to taunt me. Some days, I will try to fight back but will end up getting the brunt of Xavier’s wrath.
She was beautiful, young and satisfied him in more ways than I did so it was only normal for everyone to always take sides with her. Back then, she would self-harm, accuse me of insulting her and a lot of unprintable things and no matter how greatly disadvantaged I was back then, Xavier always took her side and would blame me.
I raised my chin high, telling myself that I wouldn’t exchange so much of a word with Brooke. I had passed that stage where I should be worried about a man liking me or not.
"Hi Luna," She suddenly blocked my path giving me a bright smile "I know you’re busy and stuff but can you spare me a minute of your time,".
"Oh, I’m sorry about that," I said with a straight face "I need to go check on my children,".
"Perhaps some other time or..." she clasped her hand in front of me giving me the puppy gaze "How about I do dinner with you and your family? Consider it as trying to showcase how I will make a perfect Beta and I’m curious about everything that has been happening in the pack since I was away,".
"I see!" I arched my brow at her "Dinner is by 9pm," I said and walked past her ignoring her repeated thank yous.
I was so wrapped in my thoughts that I didn’t notice I was in front of the girl’s room. As I made to open the door, their nannies came out bearing trays of untouched food.
"What happened?" I asked them.
