Chapter 12
Danna walked into the mansion room with a satisfied smile on her lips. She was already bored with the party, so she used the pretext of the long journey to say goodbye politely and retire to her room.
Once in the room, she felt dazed and furious. The memories bombarded his head and he had to calm his emotions. He took off his clothes. Seeking relief, he filled the tub with cold water and plunged into it desperately, wishing that the cold water would erase the memories of the past for a few seconds.
Ever since he had set foot in the mansion, the memories and pain he had experienced there began to resurface in his mind like a movie. At that moment, she couldn’t control the desolate tears that escaped her eyes and ran down her cheeks, hot with rage.
Danna couldn’t understand why she felt that way. Overwhelmed by the confusion, nostalgia, and pain that her mate had caused her in the past. It had been 5 years since she had run away from the pack and she had not experienced any heat or attraction to another wolf, that part of her seemed to have withered, like a flower in winter. His she-wolf, when he went out to stretch his legs, could not stand to be near other wolves, he reacted with hostility and distrust.
The pain of seeing her mate again, the cause of her suffering, suffocated her. He had to draw strength from within himself to carry out his vengeance. He knew he had to settle several scores and, on top of that, face a huge battle for Eos’ survival. She was willing to do anything for her daughter’s peace of mind.
Eros was restless in his room, he was looking in his head for a way to get closer to Danna and get her forgiveness, unable to sleep he left his room, walked down the corridor and without regret found himself in front of his daughter’s room.
“I mustn’t go in, if Danna sees me here, I don’t want to imagine how furious she’ll become.” Goddess Selene, please don’t let Danna show up. It will only be a second.” He sighed several times and walked in silently.
He saw Eos sleeping like a puppy. He sat up in bed gawking at each feature of his catira. She never imagined having a daughter as beautiful as a fairy. On impulse he caressed her cute curls, then gave her a kiss on the forehead. He got up and went back to his room with a racing heart.
The next day, Danna woke up early, cleaned up, and went straight to her daughter’s room. He opened the door and saw her sleeping. She approached him and, gently, gave him kisses scattered on his face to wake him up. Eos opened his eyes lazily and smiled at his mother.
“Come on, lazy puppy, get up. Let’s take a bath that smells so bad.
“No, Mommy. I don’t want to take a bath later. I don’t want to right now,” he protested, pouting.
“Eos, you have to take a bath. In the dining room, everyone will notice that you stink.” He cuddled her in his arms and led her to the bathroom.
That’s when Maya came in, she laughed when she saw Eos’ tantrum. Then the three of them left the room to have breakfast, Eurides already waiting for them at the table. Danna placed Eos next to her and began to put the food in his mouth.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Maya had noticed Danna and the alpha’s reaction the day before. He wanted to see how he would react, so he decided to ask, looking at Eurides.
“Luna Eurides, I don’t see the alpha of alphas. Have you had breakfast yet?
Danna was startled and stomped under the table on her friend, rolling her eyes. Maya looked at her amused.
“He went out to see some areas where the renegades have attacked. Our beta Ducan is on the border finding out who is helping these traitors enter this region.
“Mommy, the handsome alpha, visited me when I was asleep. He stroked my curls and gave me a little kiss on the forehead. Isn’t it, Mommy, that the alpha is handsome? Eos blurted out, bringing a glass of milk to his mouth.
The women looked at each other. Danna muttered in her mind: “How that mangy dog dared to enter my daughter’s room without my permission, when he sees it, he will hear me.”
Eurides saw the queen’s discomfort and cleared his throat to say.
“Danna, I’d like to talk to you about the summoning of the herds in the region. Next week the election of wolves trained for combat with the enemy takes place.
“You guys go talk, I’ll take Eos for a walk in the garden.” Maya reported.
The two women got up and went to the office, while two other women secretly died of rage because they all paid homage to this, she-wolf who, to them, was nothing more than a simple insignificant omega.
In the garden Maya was walking with the princess near the water pond when one of her wolves approached and beckoned to her, Maya understood that what she was going to inform her should not be heard by Eos.
“Little puppy, I’m back. I’m going to talk to Ernesto for a second. Don’t move from here. Maya said, half-crouching, looking at the girl tenderly.
“Yes, Aunt Maya, I’ll be waiting for you here,” said the girl smiling and walked towards the pond, she stood there watching some cute little goldfish suddenly appear in the water.
Maya walked up to the wolf, who handed her a report. Lamia, who was nearby, gave Gin a meaningful look. It was the perfect time to scare the girl.
“Gin, let’s go. Take advantage of the fact that they are not seeing us and see how the little princess falls into the water.
“Ma’am! She’s crazy! She is the daughter of the supposed queen. If they see that I push her, I’m a dead she-wolf.
Lamia pulled her hand, and the two walked cautiously toward the girl.
“She’s the daughter of a simple omega who won’t even know who her father is. Doesn’t it make you angry that she’s like you and is made queen? How many wolves has he wallowed with to get where he is? Lamia whispered softly, shoving sinister ideas into Gin, he continued. Don’t think about it too much, you don’t have time. Do it! He finished speaking, pushing Gin forward.
Gin took a few trembling steps towards the girl and stood behind her. When Eos was looking at the water carefreely, Gin raised his right hand and pushed it forward but a stronger hand stopped it, Gin seeing who it was petrified and trembling with terror.
Eros took Gin’s hand, squeezing it in anger. Maya saw what was happening and ran towards them.
“Who gives you the right to want to harm my daughter?” Eros shouted in a guttural voice, squeezing his hand more intensely. She, with a grimace of pain on her face, kept looking at Lamia, who avoided her gaze.
Hercules was furious, he wanted to kill her himself. When Eros was about to break his hand, Eos turned to them and, putting his hands to his mouth, spoke in an impressed voice.
“Handsome Alpha, because you have that bad face towards that she-wolf, she behaved badly with you. The little girl looked at him with a surprised face, waiting for the alpha to respond. That gesture melted Eros’ heart, and Hercules was reassured.
“Eros, I’ll take care of this she-wolf. It’s not good to murder someone in front of your daughter. You’d better take advantage and stay and play with her,” Maya said, placing her hands on Eros’ hand to soften her rage.
“Take this damned maid to the dungeon.” I’ll take care of it later.
Maya nodded and grabbed a fainting Gin by the right arm and dragged her away.
