Pretending

Odis

After she pulls Paul to a sitting position by Leo, she serves him his food and drink. There isn’t a fruit in sight but I keep my lips sealed. I watch as Paul thanks the Goddess for her food and asks her to bless his Nan who made it. He thanks the Goddess for keeping his Odee safe and my heart warms.

Sighing, I stand to my feet and run my hand through my hair. There’s a fuck load of things I want to say and do but I can’t. There’s also a shit ton of bigger things I have to worry about other than chicken nuggets and fries.

Focusing back on Ethan, I find him sitting on the chair with Adea in his lap. He cradles her in his arms as if she were made of glass. My shoulders sag with the news we heard at the meeting.

Despite what the other alphas said, I would be prepping our soldiers for battle. Our guards need to be up and everyone needs to be alert. From what I remember of the new “Alpha”, he was weak and unhinged.
