I enter Jinyoung’s office and I am hit by his scent. I take a deep breath and calm Antiope down that is bugging me to run after him. I take my place at the desk and I look at the stack of papers. I sigh. This is going to be tough.

I don’t even know how much time has passed when I hear a soft knock on the door. Thane is standing guard outside and he is the one that comes in when I give the leave.

“Astrid wants to see you. ”

I frown. I have no idea who Astrid is but the playful smile on Thane’s lips gives me an idea. If she is who I suspect she is... I bite my jaw down and I nod to Thane. I go back to my paperwork when I hear the shuffling of a dress in the office. Yep, I know that smell.

“Luna. ”

"Whore,” Antiope  has made up her mind on her.

I lift my eyes and I regard her coldly. She is beautiful, with that long blonde hair and that lithe body. Her eyes are blue and her lips are full. Jinyoung sure has bizarre tastes. I look nothing like that woman standing in her flowing dress in his office.

“I do not think I can help you with whatever business you had with Jinyoung,” my voice is harsh.

“He told me to address to you should I need anything?”

Seriously? Is this some kind of joke? Is Jinyoung rubbing it in my face to make me jealous or provoke a reaction out of me? Cause he might find his favorite plaything ripped to pieces before he gets back.

“Did he? He hasn’t said anything about you,” I go back to pretending I am reading a report.

“If I may trouble you for a while, Helena’s son has been having some trouble at school.”

I frown and look up to her. What the hell is this?

“You might want to walk me through all of it,” I haven’t allowed her to sit.

“Helena’s son, Elias, has been acting up in high school after... His father was killed at the last rogue attack and he hasn’t gotten over it yet. Alpha Jinyoung tries to be there for him but all that anger...”

“What can I do?”

“Talk to him and get in touch with his headmaster at school and explain the situation. Frankly, I think you can manage better than Alpha Jinyoung. He... Well, he tends to threaten people than actually talk when he is in one of his tempers.”

Tell me about it.

“OK,” I cough perplexed. “I will talk to Elias and if you give me the phone to the school, I will contact them.”

“Of course, Luna. Now, if I may, a trivial matter.”

“I am listening.”

“It’s my Sonja’s birthday the day after tomorrow, my daughter,” she smiles. “I would like to organize a party for her in the packhouse. Do I have your permission?”

What the hell is going on?

“You do.”

“Would you attend? For a while,” she hastens to add. “She seems to admire you a lot and I haven’t seen her this happy ever since my mate was lost to us.”

“Your mate?”

“He was a warrior of the pack. Killed along with Helena’s mate in the same attack. If it hadn’t been for Alpha Jinyoung’s magnanimity to shelter all the widows in the packhouse and provide for them, I don’t know where I’d be.”
