Tangled Hearts - The Alpha's Baby Mama

Xavier POV

We were all seated in the meeting room where the pack elders and other pack officials usually meet. My grandfather – Grand Lycan Leonard was sitting close to the raised platform where Noah would sit while my mom was next to him, she would occasionally bend towards him and ask him if he was alright. It was so funny that I had to hold back the laughter bubbling inside me.

One would think Selene didn’t only slap my grandfather with the pity airs he was putting on. He was looking so bleak and I hoped for his sake it was a show or maybe to gain Noah’s sympathy. I was worried about this impromptu meeting that my mom had roped me in. This wasn’t the time to get on Noah’s bad side, especially with everything that had happened.

I didn’t expect he would strip me of my title as Coalition Leader and it came as a big blow to me but now, I was willing to do anything to reclaim it. Maybe three years ago I would not bother and ignore everything and continue with my life but now, I have children whom I must protect. I am a father and that’s what matters more than anything now.

I pulled out my phone from my pocket and sent maybe the tenth text since we came into the meeting hall to my mom "Mom, we shouldn’t be doing this. Noah might be pissed if he finds out that we called an impromptu meeting that he didn’t organize,". As usual, she read the message, gave me a side glance and ignored it again.

I exhaled again, if I waited five more minutes and there was no sign of him, I would find a way to slip out of the hall to save my head. I had barely finished having the thought when the door was thrown open and Noah walked in with a frown on his face.

"This better be good," he said as he came to the centre of the hall and stood, his eyes travelling around the hall "Because if it’s not, then I will have you all punished for bringing me out of something really important,".

"Of course, Your Majesty," One of the Pack Elders stood up "I know how much you hate to waste time so we’ll just get straight to the point and we hope that with everything you will see, you will judge if it was an important matter worth reporting or not,".

The pack elder signalled to me... I was at the projector stand and I felt so stupid as Noah’s gaze shifted to me. Our eyes met for a few seconds before I looked away. Sighing one more time, I turned on the projector and played the recorded video clip. The hall quietened filled with the conversation between my grandfather and Selene in the video. No one bothered to look at the screen as we had all seen it, rather we were looking at Noah whose expression had not changed from what was there since he first came in.
