I was nervous about the dinner. I did not trust Isabelle. Why would she want to have dinner with me? The only reason I had not come up with an excuse not to attend was that I did not want to disappoint Nikolas. I could see that he really wanted his mother and me to get along.
I doubt it would be possible, but many impossible things have happened lately, so there was no harm in trying.
We met Isabelle at the table in the dining room, and she was smiling. I greeted her quickly before I sat down. Nikolas sat at the head of the table. Isabelle sat on the right side, so I sat on the left, which placed me opposite Isabelle. It was a very uncomfortable position because I dared not raise my head and look at her.
“It took you long enough,” Isabelle told her son, and Nikolas laughed.
“I was busy,” He said. Heat rose to my cheeks when he said those words because I knew exactly what he was busy doing. He was busy doing me.
“I see,” Isabelle said, and food was served.
We ate in silence, and I was completely uncomfortable. I wanted dinner to be over so we could return to our bedroom.
“Aliana,” Isabelle said, and I cringed at the sound of her voice.
I could still remember her words when she came to Nikola’s room. I did not want to seem difficult, so I looked at her. I knew my face showed worry, and I had all the reason to. This woman hated my father and me. She also believed Lycans were superior to werewolves. My being at the table was all shades of wrong to her.
“I apologise for how I treated you, and I want to thank you for taking care of me,” She said, and even though I wasn’t fooled by her gratitude, I smiled and bowed my head. There was no way I would fall into her trap. Nikolas wanted us to get along, and she obviously did not want to be estranged from her son. I knew I could not trust her words, but I had to be civil.
“I do not take offence, Luna. Thank you for allowing me to be at this table,” I said, and she smiled.
I wondered if her eyes were always cold when she smiled or if that look was reserved for me. “Well, that went well,” Nikolas said, and we continued to eat.
“What have you been doing with your free time Aliana?” Isabelle asked me, and I knew I needed to find something to say.
“I have requested to work at the Werewolf Clinic; I hope to resume tomorrow,” I said quickly, and she sighed.
“Pity. I was hoping to spend some time with you to get to know you,” She said, and Nikolas cleared his throat.
“That won’t be necessary, Mother,” Nikolas said, coming to my rescue. I could see that he did not trust his mother either.
“Well, I was just making an effort,” Isabelle protested, and he nodded.
