All Chapters of Marked By The Alpha I Swore To Kill: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I made my way downstairs, dressed in a beautiful black velvet shoulder-hugging off-shoulder sleeve gown with a fitted bodice and a high front slit. The low neckline offered a peak of my cleavage. I had paired it with garnet red drop earrings and necklace with a teardrop pendant that rested between my cleavage. My lips painted a sinful red colour while I had put my hair in a chignon.The guard looked up as I approached the dining room doors, his eyes widening at the sight of me before he hastily looked away.“Luna Prime.” He greeted, bowing. I acknowledged him with a nod, pushing the doors open and walking in. Jacob and Tony, who were having a conversation, looked up, their conversation long forgotten.“Gentlemen” I greeted, Jacob got to his feet, his eyes on me.“Tony?”“Yeah?” Tony replied, staring at me in awe.“Get out.”

“Ms Adelaide…” I blinked, coming back to the present. Delilah was staring at me, a confused and worried look on her face. I sighed, tucking my hair behind my ears. “Sorry… what were you saying?” I inquired. “Are you okay?” She asked. “You look like you haven't gotten any sleep.” I closed my eyes, massaging my temples. After last night's fiasco, I was exhausted, both mentally and physically. “I'm fine.” I whispered, opening my eyes. “So for the food…” I trailed off. “We finished discussing the food a while ago.” She mumbled. I let out a groan, pressing my forehead to the table. “You know what? We're almost done, I'll handle the rest. You should get some rest.” She said, closing the book. I lifted my head, looking at her, a small grateful smile on my lips. “Thank you, Delilah.” She gathered the planners and made her way out. I stared at the door, my mind going back to last night. Several questions swirled around my mind, I still didn't know how he noticed the poison

I placed a hand on the knob, twisting and pushing the door open. I stepped inside, holding my breath as I did. Everything about the office reminded me of my Papa’s office back in Silverstone. I almost expected to see him seated behind the table, head bent, eyes on whatever document he was reading. My heart hurt at the memory and I had to close my eyes and gather myself for a moment. Now was not the time for weakness. I opened my eyes and walked deeper into the office, looking at the wooden shelves filled with books. There was a wall that had a picture of my father with smaller ones of him with different people placed around the bigger frame. I finally turned my attention to the table, letting my fingers run along the length of the impressive table as I rounded it to the executive leather chair. I ran my fingers along the arm rest, glancing at Liam and Magnus who both had proud looks on their faces. I pulled the chair out and took a seat. “So… how does it feel?” Liam inqui

“And this?” Delilah raised a picture of a blonde haired, hazel eyed middle aged man. “That's Alpha Benjamin.” I answered, she nodded. “His Luna is Elizabeth Gonzales. He has two daughters, Isabella and Camila.” I continued. “Great.” She lifted another picture. We were in my bedroom, she was currently quizzing me on the Alphas that were attending the banquet. “That's Alpha Helena Banks.” I replied. “Her partner is Sebastian Micheals. They don't have any children.” “Anything else?” She asked, I furrowed my brows, frowning. “No.” “She's expecting.” She replied. I let out a groan, flopping down on the bed. “Ugh, why can't they just all wear name tags?” I asked, staring up at the ceiling. She giggled, placing the pictures aside. “That's a really great idea.” My phone rang, I rolled over and grabbed it.

“Good morning Ms Adelaide” Delilah said, walking into my room, stopping when she saw me curled up on the sofa. “Oh Eda! Are you okay? You look like you didn't get any wink of sleep!!” She cried out, coming over to me. “I'm fine.” I whispered, moving away as she tried to place the back of her hand on my forehead. “Are you sure? You look like you're about to drop dead.” “It's nothing, I'm just a bit nervous.” I replied, getting to my feet. “Well do you want me to run you a bath?” I blanched at the thought of been surrounded by water. “No, I'll just take a shower.” I replied, walking into the bathroom and closing the door behind me. I didn't need to look at the mirror to know that I looked like shit. I undressed and stepped into the shower, turning on the water and letting it wash away all the stress.
