Chapter 34
Chapter 34
~Adela~
Once I left the trio, I started to look for Luna Kimberly. I really needed to see her to figure out what we will do next. Since the incident in the kitchen, I haven’t been able to reach her. I had no idea where she would be at this time, but I would need to search.
I was tempted to stop by the house and see what was going on with Portia and Aida, but I decided daddy would be best for that. I sent him a mindlink to let him know Portia would be at the house, and he told me not to worry; he would take care of it.
After I talk with the Luna, I should find Neal to see what he has planned next. After considering it for a bit, maybe seeking him out wouldn’t be the best idea. We really shouldn’t be seen together. I need to keep as much distance from this as possible.
The search for Luna Kimberly was torturous. I was sent all over the pack in an attempt to find her. Everywhere I looked, I came up empty. I was walking to the front of the packhouse when I saw a car pull up. A beautiful woman got out of a car. She had long, reddish-brown hair. She looked about 5’9 and had on a designer outfit, complete with a pair of heels. I could only guess the name that was on them. Portia and Landon were out front when the woman walked up. Luna Kimberly came out of the packhouse, and things seems to get tense. I have no idea what was said, but it didn’t look good.
I went inside the packhouse after everyone dispersed and decided to wait for the Luna in her office. I need to see who that woman was because I have a bad feeling about the whole thing. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but it’s hard not to be worried.
I was waiting in the office for a long while before the door finally opens. Luna Kimberly walks into the office with that woman walking behind her. They are talking in hush tones and laughing. The laughing stops abruptly the minute they realize they are not alone in the room. “Uh, Adela, what….uh, what a surprise. What are you doing here?”
I stand from the chair I had been waiting in. I look between the Luna and the woman, who is giving me a look of disdain. “I came to talk to you. I’ve been looking for you.”
“Oh, uh, I was showing Jenna here around the pack.” I turn to the woman and raise an eyebrow. She is checking her nails, looking bored.
“Jenna?” I’m still looking at her, but I’m getting no response.
“Kim, I’m going to go freshen up and maybe rest a little. I have a lot to do.” She winks at the Luna, and that makes her giggle. “I will meet up with you later.” Jenna doesn’t spare me a glance as she walks out of the door. I watch the door for a while, not knowing how to proceed. Luna Kimberly walks around the desk and sits in her chair.
“So you were looking for me?” I clear my throat and turn to Luna Kimberly.
“Yes, we haven’t spoken since the incident in the kitchen. I wanted to get with you and see what’s next.” Luna Kimberly sits back in her chair and starts to tap on the desk.
“Jenna is what’s next.”
“What does that mean?”
“Well, Jenna is an old family friend, and she has taken an interest in the boys. I invited her here so they can reconnect.” I can feel the anger boiling under my skin. What the hell is she talking about?
“I thought we had discussed my sister and I taking over with the boys,” I say through gritted teeth.
“We did. In light of recent developments, it may be best to look outside of the pack for the next Luna. It may go over better rather than having such a public family squabble.” I slam my fist down on the desk and jump out of my chair. I lean in close, but the Luna doesn’t flinch.
“How dare you! My sister and I have put years into your sons, and you are going to try to get someone else to come into the mix? We can handle weak a*s Portia; that isn’t a problem. You can’t just abandon us.” Luna Kimberly looked amused the entire time I was talking. She now loses the humor she had on her face and replaces it with one of determination. She leans on her desk to get closer to me.
“You listen to me little girl! I let you have you little tantrum because your father and I are friends, but you will NOT disrespect me. I can do whatever the hell I want, and I don’t have to check with you or anyone else. Portia will NOT take my place, and I don’t care if that’s because of the Colby twins or Jenna.” We are both breathing deeply, but I say nothing. Truth be told, I just lost it with my Luna, and that could have serious repercussions. Luna Kimberly straightens up and sits back in her chair. “As a matter of fact, why don’t you do your best to get the boys….I know that Jenna will. May the best woman or women win.” Luna Kimberly smirks at me and then shuffles through papers on her desk. “You can leave now.” I huff and storm out of the office. As soon as I leave the packhouse, I mindlink my dad.
Where are you, daddy? This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
I’m here with your sister. What’s wrong, Honey?
I’m leaving Luna Kimberly’s office. Things are taking a turn.
What does that mean?
She brought some b***h here; some Jenna, somebody. She is supposedly interested in the twins.
Honey, you must have misunderstood. Kim wants you, girls, in her spot, not some Jenna someone.
Ahhh! Daddy, listen to me. I just spoke to her, and she told me exactly what I just said. She doesn’t care who takes over as long as it isn’t Portia. That Jenna chick is staying in the packhouse!
I will talk to her; I promise I will fix this. I cut off the link and start to head home. This entire situation pisses me off. It was supposed to be the Luna helping my sister and me get the twins and take over. This Jenna b***h just gets in the way, and she was brought here by the Luna?! Something has got to give. Aida and I need to make a plan, and we need to make it quick.
