Chapter 98: She would end things with Noah...
Xavier POV
I stared at my phone again as I paced back and forth across Kurtis’s room. I couldn’t shake off the knot of anxiety in my gut over the whole thing that had happened. A thousand and one scenarios were running through my mind as I tried not to imagine Selene’s predicament.
From the audio recording we had listened to, she seemed to have suffered a lot. I was angry and guilty at the same time. It was part of my fault that Selene was sent on that dangerous mission but it was fruitful at the end. We can now confirm that the person posing as King Tanner was his brother Conrad.
But we weren’t able to decipher his intentions from the audio recordings. Instead, it felt like he was immensely loyal to his brother and was reporting to him. The entire situation was dicey but what we hoped for was he didn’t catch up to our plans and Selene had acted so well to quell rising suspicions whatever it may be.
"For the love of the moon, Xavier... would you settle down?" Kurtis sighed from where he was hunched over his desk, his brows furrowed in concentration as he played the audios and videos from the mission "Your incessant pacing is grating on my nerve and irritating me. I need my wits about me, especially at this time,".
I shot him an apologetic look but couldn’t force myself to remain still.
"I’m sorry," I sighed "It’s just that I have a lot of worries. I don’t think I’ve ever been this worried. It feels like that time Selene was aboard that plane that crashed and I had to wait until midnight to get feedback from the rescue team. It was the most excruciating experience I’ve ever had, so cut me some slack,".
"But she’s fine now," Kurtis sighed dropping what he was doing to look at me "You heard it yourself when Noah paged us to inform us that she was fine. So, stop worrying already and you should find a way to appease your Beta, he didn’t look pleased,".
"Lucius will be fine," I waved the thought aside "I am more concerned about Selene. Noah didn’t go into detail about everything that happened. Was she injured or something? Is she showing signs of trauma and the like?"
