Chapter 119: Substitute mate...
Selene POV
I stiffened and watched as Noah walked towards us. He had a perplexed expression on his face as he approached. My gaze flitted to Kurtis and back to the approaching Noah wondering how much of our conversation he had heard. If he heard half of what Kurtis and I were arguing about, we would have to explain ourselves out of the situation. I drew myself to my full height as he came to stand in front of me.
"You’re here dear," I said with a bright smile while my gaze flitted between Reid who looked dazed and Brooke who had a smirk on her face. Something was wrong. I could feel it but I couldn’t place my finger on it. "I was about to come meet you. How are you doing?" I rambled on.
"What were you talking to Kurtis about?" Noah asked me ignoring my greetings. "What schemes is he planning? You heard that too, Brooke and Reid?" he said behind his shoulders to them.
"Yes Alpha," Brooke nodded "Something about having a grand scheme that even a blind man can see and also him trying to bring her and Xavier together. Something like that,".
Noah’s eyes went back and forth Kurtis and I, I could feel the anger emanating from his pores as he stared at us. Any minute now he would explode. I have to devise a suitable explanation and thank goddess that he didn’t hear the other part of the conversation. That would have been way too difficult to explain.
Just as I opened my mouth to speak, Kurtis pushed me behind him and stood in front of Noah, easily levelling up with him although he was at least 6 inches shorter. "That’s no way to talk to your wife, your majesty. She’s the Queen of this pack and you can’t address her in front of strangers like this,".
"You have no right to dictate to me how to speak to my mate!" Noah exploded closing the space between him and Kurtis "She’s not the only woman in this pack. There are tons of women scattered all over the province and here in Moon Whisper that would gladly jump into bed with you. Why Selene? Why won’t you leave her alone for me?"
Then it dawned on me that Noah had read a different meaning into the conversation or perhaps someone had told him another thing. I felt the fight leave Kurtis as he turned to stare at me, a smirk curving his lips.
