Chapter 160: If you do not have a death wish!”
Selene POV
I thought I wouldn’t be bothered if I saw Brooke coming out of Noah’s room but for the last ten minutes, it was all I could think of. More especially, why had Noah lied to me?
"Your Majesty, I’m here," Brenna said behind me making me jump at the suddenness of her voice. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear her walk up to me.
"Oh!" I chuckled awkwardly, "I didn’t hear you come. Did you say something? Are the girls alright?" I asked simultaneously hoping it wasn’t showing too much that I had been crying. Never in my wildest imaginations did I think I would be holed up in the restroom sobbing over Noah...
"No, Your Majesty!" Brenna shook her head, still giving me a curious look "You asked me to find out about Princess Jade that’s what I’m here to report. So, I met with one of her maids and I was told she’s usually not at home at this time since she’s such a party person but it’ll be better to look for her in the mornings or mid-morning. I delivered your message to the maid, she’ll inform the Princess when she returns and just to make sure she does that, I will check back and...".
"That won’t be necessary my dear," I interrupted her with a smile "If you keep going back there, it will make us look desperate and that’s the last thing I want Princess Jade to think of us. Don’t worry, if I don’t see her tomorrow, I can always look for a way to talk to her. Also..." I paused and looked over my shoulders to confirm that no one was close to us "Shouldn’t we leave earlier today? Instead of the usual time, I have a hunch about something and the only way to confirm that I am not just imagining things is to change my schedule and see how they react,".
"They?" she looked at me with confusion but I smiled wanly as memories of Reid coming out to save me that other night came to my mind and how I’ve been seeing a lot of strange yet constant faces tailing me now and again. Also, Reid was just all over me and I had to piece two and two together and the only thing that came to mind was how to lose all the people following me.
"Yes!" I nodded "Today’s work is done and thankfully we made a lot of progress. I’m just waiting for them to clear out some stuff inside so I can lock the door. Ask Faustina to tell the kitchen that we’ll be having dinner tonight. No one would be served in their room, including the King. If anyone tries to refute it, let them take it up with me. The dining hall is made for eating and not an artefact... henceforth everyone eats there,".
"O...Okay, your Majesty!" Brenna replied looking at me strangely.
"And ask the Kitchen staff to prepare for an inspection tomorrow by me. Gosh! There are a lot of things that need to be changed around the Pack. The housekeeper, Garden Keeper... anyone in charge of anything around the Pack. I need to meet with them in that hall," I said and pointed at an empty hall that was adjacent to Luna’s Office. I would like to see all of them by 7 am and they should be on time, I still have to go for the counselling session later on, so tardiness will not be tolerated. Inform my Beta too,".
