Chapter 232: You cannot stop what’s fated!!!
Kurtis POV
I had lied to Selene about seeing the moon goddess and maybe about some part of the conversation.
Was this a cross for her to bear? To take her husband’s place and to what end? To end generations of curses? I was so lost in thought that I didn’t hear someone come into my room until they tapped me.
On the defensive, I turned ready to strike a blow when I saw Lucius and Xavier staring at me strangely. Xavier arched his brow at me while Lucius regarded me quietly. I wondered if he still hated me or if he was ready to speak to me now.
"Relax, Kurtis," Xavier scoffed dropping on the couch in my room "And congratulations on your reinstatement as Alpha. What are you going to call your pack? I’m surprised you’re not celebrating as much as I would have imagined you would be doing. Why? What’s wrong?"
"How about you?" I retorted with a scoff "You were reinstated as Regional Coalition Leader. Finally, you can now get Jared off your back but you look like you’ve just seen a ghost. Why? What’s up?"
"It’s Selene!" he voiced out, his eyes lost in thoughts "She’s hiding something from me. Today when we were speaking, she kept talking in rhetoric, hinting about not being here and me making everything easy for Noah and she’s still going to make him the girls guardian. No amount of begging from me changed her mind,".
"Good for her!" I chuckled and turned, hoping they had not seen the way I had reacted when he talked about Selene hiding things from him. "You can be their father when they’re grown,".
"Not you too, Kurtis!" Sebastian sighed "I wonder if she asked both of you if I could be a competent father and you said No. I need to be with my children. I can’t stand them being far away from me and then calling Noah, father when I can easily do everything he does,".
