Chapter 34

Storm

I struggled to hold myself together as we made our way downstairs. On the way downstairs we stopped in at the laundry which was on the second floor. A housekeeper whom I learned was named Mary took the wet clothes from Alpha Doyle and put them into the washing machine. When we left the laundry, we made our way back downstairs to the living room where Julie, Leah and Lilly were all seated on a lounge, talking to a group of people which included the Beta.

The moment we walked into the living room, the Beta stood up and walked towards us. I stopped in my tracks as he approached us. Sensing my unease, Alpha Doyle let go of my arm and ran his hand across my back, which caused me to nearly jump out of my skin. The Beta was looking surprised by my reaction when he stopped in front of me, but he didn’t say anything about it. Instead, he said, “Luna Lena, I would just like to apologise for what happened out by the lake. I can assure you that it will never happen again.”
