Chapter 204: Go scot-free...
Selene POV
I stared at my phone long after the call with Xavier ended wondering if he understood that I was asking for help. He was the only one who had some power now to help me or maybe sway his mother.
Just like me, Xavier was an important part of Nora. I’ve seen her go berserk with him being ill for a few seconds. With him, she drops her ironclad heart, so maybe his presence at Moon Whisper could be a good thing for me. I have yet to hear from Reid no see him since last night after he came to our dungeon.
There was no news regarding Noah and Kragen was still quiet on me. For the first time, I felt truly alone with no one to run to. All I wanted to do at this point was cry my eyes out and lay sprawled on the ground until help came but I have to keep the girls alive... I have to stay alive. I couldn’t afford to die now... if my children could go through so much with me alive, I shuddered to think what they might pass through if I am no more.
I also knew my call was tapped, which was why I was being careful with asking for help also wishing that whoever was on the other side wouldn’t read too much meaning into it. I stroked my growing belly with a sad smile on my face. Was I destined to always have my children in tough situations?
My gaze fell on the girls sleeping peacefully, resting longer on Maeve... she had been so angry today... the angriest I’d seen her and I felt every emotion. It was as if her soul was bare and I could read and see inside of her. All her anger was directed towards me and Nora... me especially and I couldn’t help but wonder what I could have done to my child for her to harbor such anger towards me.
Also, I’ve never felt as connected as I was to them as I did last night. In that dungeon, I could feel their heartbeat... I could tell if they were alright or not. Everything was open and readable. When the Grand Lycan had come in to see us... he was telling the truth when he said, he had been preoccupied. I could feel his heartbeat and also see how worried he was about something.
Shaking my head, I tried to rid my mind of those thoughts. Right now, all I wanted to do was to save myself and my babies and I knew no one was going to become my advocate. Since yesterday, I understood what Nora meant by the people will never align with a woman. All the guards, the women who had my support before had deserted me. It was sad and painful but what could I do?
There was a knock on the door. Even without me perceiving the scent or seeing the person, I knew instantly that it was Brooke. "Come in!" I said gruffly, pulling myself into a presentable condition before the door opened wide and she sauntered in. "To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" I said sarcastically.
