Free Web NovelChapter 248: Chapter 248 Falling Even More
Maze
"Fuck Kiara, I didn’t know anyone else than Maze could shake things, and he has just shaken a room. You shook the entire building." Alastair says with awe as we sit in the conference room. He is awed, just like the rest of us. I can’t even describe the pride I feel. When the building shook. Fuck! I have never been as turned on as when I witnessed my woman put the slutty cunt in her place! I knew Kristina would be trouble when she eyed Kiara, so I followed them down and kept my distance, just in case. The guys stayed on the conference room floor, and it was Leon who asked me if it was me who shook the building, and who the fuck pissed me off so much. I linked him back when I had my mate secure in my arms that it wasn’t me. It took him a second, and he must have told the others because all of the sudden I had all of them in my mind yelling and praising their Queen for being badass!
She’s been blushing ever since I took her back up here, and has apologized to me multiple times as well for overreacting, but I keep telling her that her reaction was absolutely acceptable. I would have murdered anyone who tried to flirt with her on the spot.
"I’m not even proud right now, Alastair. I don’t know what to say? I have no idea how I shook the building." She answers with a sigh. I kiss her cheek, offering a parmesan bite. I know the food is not exactly hot, hot, anymore, but it tastes amazing all the same. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Baby, you reacted like any mate would. And she had it coming." Kiara looks at me with guilt in her eyes. "I don’t blame you, and neither does anyone else." Everyone in the room shakes their heads and smiles at Kiara.
"I still overreacted and should have kept my cool."
"Girl seriously?! You may be the future Queen, but right now you are just stupid." Callie says with a shrug. I look at her surprised. Kiara raises an eyebrow at her. She rolls her eyes. "That bitch would have been killed by me or Elena, but you beat us to it! She announces, and Elena nods her head. Kiara still looks unsure.
"Kiara, you reacted perfectly normal! I envy your ability to stand up for yourself like that." Elena says quietly.
"What do you mean, sweets?" Joram asks their mate, and she shrugs her shoulders.
"I was cast out as a rogue because I couldn’t defend myself, and ever since that time I have had such a hard time to stand up for myself. I always chose to stay quiet and let people step all over me. Although that Kristina girl pissed me the fuck of with the shitty attitude, I didn’t do anything else than mumble something. I was ready to defend my mates, but standing up for my right to be the mate to them? Not so much." Kiara shakes her head. I wrap my arm around her. The fact that she doesn’t relish in the fact she has so much fucking power just makes me fall even more for her.
After lunch Kiara and I take the elevator to the floor where our offices are. The others decide to show the girls the firm, mostly to give us some privacy. Kiara didn’t eat that much, and she was so quiet even after our talk. I admire Elena for speaking up, and I know we will help her to come out of her shell. She needs to see that she can trust people, and I have some personal responsibility in that regard with my reaction when the guys found her. We also need her old pack’s name, so Kiara and I can investigate them. A pack who treats one member like they did Elena needs to be seen through in the seams.
"Oh by the way, babe, I wanted to talk to you about visiting your parents pack one of these days?" Kiara looks at me with wide eyes as we get off the elevator.
"When?" She asks. I shrug.
"Now if you want to?" The smile on her face is radiant.
"Can I call them? I sort of invited them for dinner tonight or tomorrow without asking you." She confesses and fuck if she isn’t the cutest.
"Of course! Whatever you need, baby." We’re going down the hallway. On either side are the guy’s offices. I point them out as we go. At the end of the hallway is a desk for my private secretary. She looks up as we move towards her, springs to her feet and bows to me and Kiara.
"Your Graces." She greets. I furrow my eyebrows. She has never called me that before? What the fuck.
"What’s going on, Arabella?" I ask her, but she doesn’t look up when she answers.
"Just trying to be respectful, my King." She replies. Kiara almost cries with embarrassment.
’Does she usually treat you this formally or is it because of me?’ Kiara links me, and I shrug.
’No, she’s really professional and always respected me and my privacy. But never to this extreme.’ I answer. Kiara sighs loudly. She walks around the desk and puts a finger under Arabella’s chin. Then she lifts the woman up, and makes her look her in the eyes.
