Semua Bab Deeper: His Innocent Little Mate: Bab 21 - Bab 29

“You may stand up,” Alcander said shortly, and I stood upright before I took my seat next to Eros. I took a glance at Alcander and found that he was already looking at me. He clenched his jaw before he looked away from me and I looked at the man sitting across from me, and I smiled at him. Zion is here and so is our father. Zion is the alpha of House Arcadius now and I am so proud of him, he smiled back at me, and just as he did so Judge Everly cleared his throat.I looked over at the old man who was now standing upright, he lifted his chin before he spoke ever so proudly. “On behalf of the king and the royal family, I would like to give a special thank you to the superiors of House Valaires for arranging this dinner. We are eager to see how things are developing here at House Valaires, we hope that this next month will be filled with adventure and knowledge.” Judge Everly said, and my eyes widened. Did I hear correctly? Are the superiors staying at House Valaires for a month? Why on

Zion put his sword away once he saw me approaching them and a smile that met his eyes rested on his face. I walked into his embrace before I wrapped my arms around him. “Hello, brother,” I said before pulling back from him and he kept me in a side hug. “Mia, are you quite alright?” Zion curiously asked me, and I nodded at him before I went over to hug our father. “Hello Mia,” my father said, and I simply nodded at him in a greeting manner. “I am quite alright, brother. Wherever is our mother? She would never miss a trip as big as this.” I said and Zion placed his hand on his sword as a light frown settled on his forehead. “Mia, Mother suffered a fall down the stairs on the last full moon. Her wolf is unable to heal her so she is healing slower than she usually would.” Zion said and I frowned at him. “Has she gotten better?” I asked in shock and Zion looked over at our father. “She might not survive this, Mia,” Father said, and my eyes widened in shock. “And you did not

“What is the meaning of this, your grace?” I asked Alcander and he clenched his jaw. “Let him go at once.” I said referring to Sir Allen who was tied to a chair. The ropes around his wrists and ankles were laced with wolfsbane and it was burning into his skin like acid. “My men just reported to me that this man was seen harassing you, are these claims true my lady?” Alcander asked me and my eyes widened in shock. Who would spread such disgusting rumors and why? “He’s my friend. He did not harass me we were just talking, your grace.” I said and Alcander frowned at me. “You have no business talking to my guards, Mia. And this guard will be punished accordingly for disrespecting your family name.” Alcander told me and I shook my head at him. “He’s innocent. If anyone deserves to be punished, it’s me. Please punish me, your grace.” I said and Alcander looked at me in shock. “You would risk your life for a man that you met just yesterday?" Alcander asked me and I nodded my head at him.

I carefully sneaked into the alpha mansion, desperately hoping not to run into Eros. I am certain I have Alcander's scent all over me. I need to be bathed and washed clean so that Eros would not suspect a thing. "My lady, alpha Eros is waiting for you in your chambers." A maid who appeared from behind a corner told me and I held a hand to my chest in shock. "Goddess, you gave me a fright," I told the woman and she shot me a warning look before she proceeded to polish the floor in silence. What do I do now? Eros is waiting for me in my chambers. I pressed my lips together before I went into the kitchen. "I need to bathe, but not in front of the alpha," I told one of the women and she nodded at me in understanding. "And I need one of you to bring a clean dress for me from the utility room, and not my chambers," I said and another one of the women in the kitchen nodded at me before she left the kitchen. "Please follow me, Luna Mia." The other woman told me so I followed her out
