Chapter 96 Finnick’s complaints

CA SSANDRA

After a long, hard day of working in the lab, Becky and I parted ways and I made my way back to my room. I was tired after sorting through so much research, but I started to grow more and more excited with every step.

Finnick was returning today, and every ounce of me was thrilled to see my son again.

Though it’d only been a couple of days since I’d seen him, I missed him greatly. I didn’t like to be separated from Finnick for long periods of time, and he didn’t like it either, especially now that we lived here in Anemond.

Back in Wild Crawler, he had sleepovers at Dominic’s quite frequently. He was always a welcome guest in Alpha Gareth and Luna Sofia’s home. But here in Merliscire, I didn’t like Finnick being so far away from me. Things were too dangerous and there were too many shady characters.

Lancel followed behind me, and I did my best to ignore him. I’d tried telling him. earlier in the day that I didn’t need his assistance any longer since the imposter had. been apprehended, but Lancel insisted that he was following the orders of his Alpha, and his Alpha had yet to formally dismiss him.

I tried saying that the Alpha King probably forgot, but Lancel was firm.

“My Alpha doesn’t forget anything,” he said gravely.

I wanted to laugh and roll my eyes, but I decided not to argue the point any further. Besides, I felt awkward speaking with Lancel in any capacity, especially after what Asher and I had done.

The guard could likely imagine what had transpired in my room last night. Asher had remained there until he left this morning for work, after all.

As heat spread to my cheeks at the me ntal image of the Alpha King and I tangled up in my sheets, Lancel was called by another guard in the hallway.

“Your attention is required by the king,” the guard announced. Lancel nodded and then gave me a look.

“Will you be remaineing in your room?” the older man asked me.

I nodded. “Yes.”

“Good,” he remarked. “I’ll return later.”
