Chapter 61

I say nothing as my smile set into place. Oh, Noah. You don’t know how happy you just made me from those six words. Pulling out my phone, I punched in Chancellor Williams’ private number and held the phone to my ear. After the second ring, he answered.

“I take it that you’re coming to interrogate them today?”

He asks into the phone. No greeting, no pleasantries, just straight to the point. I could almost hear the

smile in his voice.

“Yes. I’ve brought some things with me, if you don’t mind.”

He laughed, his deep voice echoing against my ear. I could see Noah smiling shamelessly in glee. He was genuinely proud of himself for bringing the toys. The tw inkle in his eyes waiting for a praise from me said so.

“Oh no, of course not. I wouldn’t get in the way of a lady’s essentials.”

He paused,

“And- oh, my apologies Selene. I have an Alpha guest over tonight. I hope you don’t mind it. I know how you are with Alphas. You’re more than welcome to come over still if you wish or you can come tomorrow?”

“No, it won’t be a problem. I’ll spend all of my time at the Capital in the interrogation room, anyway. No worries from my end. I doubt I’ll sense anything more than a scent from this guest of yours.”

“Then that’s fine. I’ll alert the guards to allow you in. Will your Beta be joining you?”

I sigh, sneaking a glance at Noah whose mood seemed a little dampened at the question.

“No, not today. It’ll just be me.”

“I see.”

This time, he sighed.

“He’s going to miss quite the show.”

“Indeed he is…”

Noah grumbled lowly.

My lips tugged up but I stopped myself. It seems Williams also caught his little input because he chuckled softly.

“I truly do like this Beta of yours. He’s… un-beta like, I must say. It’s honestly refreshing. I’d like to talk more but it would seem my guest is not in the best of moods right now. I’ll have to prepare for the worst when he arrives…”

My eyebrows scrunch together in curiosity,

“If you don’t mind me asking, who-”

“Enjoy your stay here, Selene.”

And then he hung up.

Pulling the phone from my ear, I looked at it weirdly before turning my gaze to Noah. He shrugged, confusion etching on his face before he smirks.

“So, about that sexual tension.”

Chapter (d

“I need you to make sure my schedule is clear for the next two days. Maybe three, but I’ll let you know if I need more time. Other than that, make sure no one slacks training. I want everyone not on border duty out in that field at six a.m sharp. That rogue in the lower cells- add more silver chains. Tighten up security and add more warriors at the back borders. I don’t want Xeneron seeing any opportunities, especially when I’m away. Any messages from other packs go directly to me.”

Noah nodded, passing me the duffle bag of goodies. The warriors surrounding us bowed, bidding me a safe stay before getting back in the van after dismissing them. The large mansion looming over me filled me with memories of when I first started training for being an Alpha. Memories of my first meeting with the Chancellor to changing my last name to Crestfield… everything.

Noah stared at me quietly before letting his eyes drift to the Capital mansion. His expression turned grim.

“Shame Isaac has to miss this. I’m sure he would’ve wanted to get a few licks in before you do anything too damaging.”

I smiled at the thought of Isaac. I was sure he was having fun taking his aggression out on the ‘fresh meat’. Though he was far too aggressive when training, his lessons are the best you can get. It was better knowing the reality of the harsh world of wolves than to idly stay inside, completely oblivious and unprepared for attacks. He didn’t do easy training.

It wasn’t his style.

“I don’t intend on doing much physical pain. Well at least, not yet.”

I smirked casting him a side glance,

“I was thinking of waiting it out for Isaac. I’m sure he’d appreciate the little gift.

Noah quirked a brow with interest. Shifting his weight on his right leg, he turned his body to face me,

“Not physical, huh? So I’m guessing you’re planning on using the good ol’ mind break method.”

I nodded.

“Well, that sounds morbidly fun. Don’t break them too much. You’re still gonna need them.”

“I don’t intend to. I just… want to give them a little taste is all.”

Noah smirked, holding my gaze before turning away with the shake of his head.

“Did I ever tell you, you’d make one good boogieman monster?”

“I think earning the title ‘Hellhound’ is self explanatory.”

With one last smile, we nuzzled heads and I watched him get in the van. Once they were out of sight, I walked up

the patio steps of the mansion and rang the doorbell. Not a second went by when one of Williams’ head maids opened the door. She kept her eyes low, bowing with her hands clasped. together at her stomach. Wearing a traditional black housekeeping uniform that reached her ankles, she smiled softly.
