Chapter 71
“Mommy!” That loud happy squeak could only cfrom one person and | turned towards the sound with a
wide smile on my face.
That smile was wiped off my face the moment | looked to see Jeby nestled in Smith's hands with a large cookie in
her
hands.
“Hi” Smith said softly, givinga wave with his free hands and that was when | realized that | had been
watching him without saying a word for a while now.
| forced the smile back onto my face and returned the small wave that he had given, Watching Jessy carefully as
the innocent child continued to munch the cookies in her hands while she remained oblivious to the tension that
she was creating in the room.
“Some?” Jessy suddenly asked, shoving the cookie in front of the Beta's face.
Who in turn laughed, a loud deep bellied sound that was warming to the ears before he was shaking his head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No Jessy, that is yours. | told you.” Smith responded and | smiled the moment Jessy smiled.
| watched silently as Smith's eyes roamed around the kitchen and for a moment it felt like the Beta shuffled in
discomfort. The girls at the other end of the room were now silent and had their eyes trained on us, especially
Jessy in the Beta’s arms. Zoe who had also just entered the kitchen and was getting a glass of water had
distractingly let the water overflow in the cup as she also had her eyes trained in our direction.
Even Christie, who was busy by the stove, preparing dinner kept sneaking glances at us at intervals and with the
realization that the entire kitchen had their attention on us, I also shuffled in discomfort.
The only oblivious person in the room was of course my child that was currently only focused on her cookie.
“Can | talk to you for a second in the living area Freya?” Smith asked, his voice dropping a few tones.
It didn’t exactly matter if he whispered. We were all werewolves in the space and since there was no other noise
except the one that cfrom the boiling on the stove, it wasn’t hard to guess that the entire kitchen could
hear him.
| nodded my head in response and the Beta turned around to leave the kitchen withfollowing closely behind
him. The moment we got into the living area it felt as if | could breathe better and | didn’t even realize the
tension that had previously been in the kitchen until | was out of it. Smith cleared his throat to get my attention
and | gave it to him. “Umm so, the Solace is coming up next month.” Smith paused and just watched my face. As
though expecting a reaction.
| had heard of the Solace before. It was an event that could only be celebrated in the Alpha King’s pack but other
packs were usually invited to the celebrations.
Of course, lowly omegas like myself were never given an invitation and so | had no idea what even took place
there. | had only heard the stories.
“I was thinking, if you would be willing to cwithfor the festival. It's usually very fun and I think Jessy will
have the tof her life.” Smith assuredand 1 perked at the offer.

| didn’t think | was ever going to get an invitation to something as big as this, ever, but here it was! But just as
soon as the excitement came, so did doubt settle in.
| was a maid here, and the mansion had strict rules when it concerned the maids leaving, except they had

wanting to attend the festival
“I would love to, but I don’t think the Alpha would exactly approve of myself and Jessy leaving the house for the
festival.” | replied.
*Leave Greyson to me. | wanted to be sure that you were interested in attending the festival before | actually
spoke to him about it, but I'm sure there will be no problem. Smith assuredand | smiled in response.
“Okay, that’s fi-” | had been about to respond when | heard the throat clearing that cfrom the grand stairs.
My head whipped in the direction of the sound at the stthat Smith’s did and | realized for the first time
how close we were standing to each other.
| took a step back and when | looked to the grand stairs, | cface to face with what seemed to be the coldest
and angriest version of the Alpha that | had ever seen.
His eyes looked like they were trained onand | squirmed from his angry gaze, averting my eyes and looking
to the floor. “Freya, return back to your duties.” The Alpha instructed, in that cold voice of his that | absolutely
detested.
And | moved to do as told, wondering if | was in trouble again.
