Chapter 88: Just the two of us!
Selene POV
"Are you joking right now, Reid?" I bristled still staring at him in surprise.
"It’s because of your Ex, right... Xavier..." he scoffed "So, in one moronic move, you’d forsake the life you’ve built for yourself here and go back to the man that made your life a living hell! Have you lost your senses entirely?"
Running a hand over his hair, he shook his head in disbelief. "If you walk away from Noah because of a moment of pleasure and a little emotional sway from your ex-husband... I can guarantee you that you’d never rise above the miserable housewife you were meant to be and..."
"That’s enough, Reid," I said coldly "I thought you’d be beside yourself with happiness. At least you’d finally have him all to yourself or have you forgotten. How much you hated that he married me?"
"Selene... you don’t...".
"I didn’t ask you for your counsel, Beta," I cut him off icily. The temperature in the room seemed to go down several degrees as I fixed him a steady glare. "I don’t need Xavier or Noah to tell me how to lead my life... I do it as my conscience dictates. With everything that’s happening in the pack and your unseriousness to get things done and fix the potential harm that’s been lurking around me and my children for a while now because of your emotions then I shouldn’t be here. A pack that cannot protect its Queen, do not deserve one,".
I watched as he opened his mouth, probably to retaliate with an angry retort but I silenced him with a raised hand.
"By the way," I stated with a note of finality in my voice leaving no room for argument "I and Noah will not be taking that divorce immediately. He insisted we separate for a while and think things over but we all know things like this do not always work and me coming back with Noah will depend on a lot of factors,".
I heard him sigh with annoyance as he murmured "Like what?"
"For a start, I need to be reassured that my children will be welcomed anywhere they go without people whispering behind their backs. I don’t care if they would stop when they see them or not, I just want that there’ll be no room for gossiping. I don’t care about my image but my children’s should be spotless, to say the least,".
