Chapter 77: _Summoning The Moon Goddess
"I can sense some hidden tension from you, Alpha King." Elder Davina suddenly blurted when we navigated our way through her residence and finally got to her main room on the last floor.
There was a circular glass ceiling that allowed sunlight to seep in like a greenhouse, and there were also several flowers and small shrubs at different spots.
Anyway, Elder Davina dropped her staff before taking a seat on a regal-looking carpet at the center of the room. She gestured for me to sit as well and I did after a little hesitation.
I cleared my throat before I responded to Elder Davina’s question. "I... Don’t think I get what you’re talking about, Elder."
However, she chuckled, shaking her head before she grabbed a beautiful ceramic kettle with floral designs. She poured herself a cup of tea from the kettle as she continued speaking.
"I watched you grow, Alpha King. I know more about you than you think." She remarked, grabbing the cup and taking a sip before sighing with satisfaction. "For example, I know how you act cold and distant when you’re trying to avoid emotions which you see as ’distracting’."
I clenched my jaw, shaking my head before I responded. "It’s not an ’act’, Elder."
Once again, she chuckled softly, clearly enjoying this interaction more than me.
"Really? So you admit that it’s just the way you are and you think that’s... Good?"
I paused, clicking my tongue with annoyance. I was getting increasingly uncomfortable with these questions and I didn’t like the feeling one bit.
’Maybe that’s because deep down you know there’s truth to her words.’ Damon said casually, causing me to grit my teeth before I mentally snapped at him.
