Maeve and Vina...

Selene POV

"Luna, could you look at the budget approved for the weekly Pack House supplies? We need it to be approved as soon as possible, there is talk about the prices of goods increasing in the coming days. Better save for the rainy days,".

The new Pack Housekeeper said thrusting a sheet before me which I collected trying to sound normal. All day, I've been working with divided attention. One eye trained on the clock and another on the pack. All attempts to reach out to Reid and find out what was happening had proved abortive. His phone was switched off and there was still no word from Kragen yet.

Was he angry with me? I wondered. I tried to remember our last conversation and it was amiable. After he told me I was with child, we talked some more about our collective plans but that was all. I couldn't remember if we had any squabbles before he left. Kurtis too, couldn't help out in this situation.
