Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 67

*****Erika's POV*****

"A truce?" Elder Grigshade stared at the hand I had brought out to seal the truce agreement I wanted to have with him.

It had suddenly occurred to me last night that if I was going to be a leader, it would not be wise to start having enemies from the inception of my reign as Alpha. I had discussed it with Kat and Paula, and they had thought it was a good idea.

So we had gone with it. I had Paula dress her up and we had asked her to remain where she was until we were ready to call her out, I had a guard and a maid stay with her. One, I did not want her to escape, Tasyra was airheaded and could do crazy things. Two, I wanted the guard to protect her because of what was happening today my coronation.

I could not allow her be without security, because if by any chance, something happened to her, her father would really have it out with me.

"Yes, a truce." My hand was still outstretched, waiting for his own hand to accept the truce.

He turned to see his daughter who was supposed to come greet him, stop at the buffet table, already piling food onto her plate. He looked at her, taking in her exquisitely put-together appearance, then turned back to me, he gazed at my hand.

"Truce." He accepted my handshake.

"Thank you." I nodded and was about to leave when his voice stopped me.

"How do you think you'll fare as Alpha?" He asked, a serious expression on his face.

"I'll do my best, Elder Grigshade." I replied.

I was sorely tempted to ask him about the business he had with my father and then my brother, I was eager to know what it was all about and what had started it. But I was having a hesitation there, something was stopping me from doing it.

When was the business started? Who brought about the idea? Who owned the biggest share? Where was this business located? What was being produced? Or sold? Was there a different account that I was not aware of that was linked to the profit gotten from this business?

The file had not really revealed much. It was more like an agreement form, I wanted a more personal information on this business. But Elder Grigshade and I were not on that level yet, we just started a truce. The only person that I could have asked was long gone.
