Chapter 40
XANDER’S POV
“You’re smiling.”
“No, Nifra, I am not smiling.”
“But you are. You’ve been in a good mood all day.
“I’m not smiling. It’s not my style.”
“I have a mirror here.
I raised my head up and looked at Nifra. She burst out laughing, her face shining with mirth.
I felt glad seeing her laugh in my presence. It was harder to hide my smile now. “That was very funny.” I said with a shake of my head. “And no, I’m not smiling
“So I guess something happened at the festival?” She asked, dabbing tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes.
My mind drifted back to the festival. And true to her words, I felt a smile tugging on my lips. “Nothing happened.” I stated simply. “It was just as every normal festival. The pack members are happy, and the goddess is merciful in our harvests. Everything was normal”
“For one, I wish I had attended this one.”
“Perhaps you should have. But you didn’t.
“Festivals aren’t my thing, Which I’m sure you’ll understand as smiling isn’t also your thing.”
“Get out.” I said, my tone light and without any real bite.
She did an exaggerated curtsey. “Of course, your majesty.”
A normal festival huh? That wasn’t the truth.
Yesternight’s festival was the best one I’ve seen in all my years of attending them. Surely, everything was perfect. But seeing Sabrina made it even better. Even if she was with Caldan for the entire evening.
Seeing her all dolled up, smiling without a care in the world. It really stuck with me how she reacted to the child running to her in tears. How she was able to comfort the child, and her own tears. I wanted to comfort her too. And of course, there was Caldan. Hey stuck by her side, scaring away anyone who tried to get too close to her. Thinking about it made me shake my head. If only he weren’t there with her, and it was just the both of us.
“I must be losing my mind.”
What am I thinking?
A knock sounded outside my door. I knew who it was before I invited him. Caldan walked in, the look he gave me one of displeasure before he bowed his head.
“Your majesty. He said, and when he raised his head up he had fixed his face.
“I didn’t summon you, Caldan.” I said.
“Yes, you didn’t. There’s a matter I just discuss with you. The last days, you’ve been very occupied and I had to wait for an opportunity.
