Chapter 136: The therapist will arrive at Moon Whisper in a few hours...
Noah POV
I sat with my back to her so I couldn’t read her expression. I waited until I heard the door close behind me before I let out a huge sigh of relief. I cradled my head in my hands hoping I would feel guilty now... but I wasn’t remorseful enough. More than anything, it felt like I would do it again if given the opportunity.
A day ago, if someone had told me that I would cheat on Selene and not give a damn about it, I would have dismissed the person with a laugh and that was because I love her so much to hurt her. After everything she had gone in the hands of Xavier... I wanted so much for her to trust me. To give her reasons to be at ease whenever she was not here but of course, I messed up again.
A short knock sounded on the door before it gave way and Brooke’s scent wafted into the room overpowering Selene’s. I heard her dainty, unhurried footsteps come towards me. When our eyes made contact, she smiled broadly and crouched beside me, a hand on my lap and a smile on her face.
"Hey darling, how are you doing? I asked the Kitchen to fix you something to help gain your energy..." she paused and lowered her eyelids shyly "Last night was the best night I’ve ever had with anyone but..." her brows scrunched into confusion "I saw Selene leave your office just now we collided into each other and she didn’t look happy. When she saw me, she gazed at me as though she hated me and I couldn’t help but wonder if you told her already,".
"No!" I said flatly staring at my phone which was beeping with messages. Instead of feeling warmth towards Brooke, she irritated me. Right now! With her kneeling next to me... I felt like yanking her hand off my thighs but I was not in the mood for tears and accusation, so I just bore it.
Reaching for my phone, I saw it was an email from the therapist I had booked for I and Selene. Since I didn’t want anyone from around the region or the pack to be in our business, I had booked a foreign marriage therapist and counsellor and she was replying to my mail to tell me she was on her way to Moon Whisper and would be arriving in a few hours.
I stared at the mail, wondering if Selene would agree to sit down to therapy with me after everything. She was bound to know that I cheated on her with Brooke. It was a given, even I could not stop that and shockingly, I was mad at Selene... furious at her. Although, I am big on taking responsibility for my actions, a small part of me couldn’t help but be furious at her.
"I don’t know how she’s going to react when she finally hears what happened between us, do you think I should just leave the pack for the meantime and come back when things have settled? I cannot trust Selene and you should do something about your security too, who knows she might try to...".
