“What’s wrong, River?” Hunter asked, bewildered at her sudden action.
“I saw-” River swallowed down. Should she tell him? “I think I saw Rosalie!”
Hunter shook his head. He stood akimbo and said, “You are imagining things, River. Why would Rosalie come here? That is ****! If you want confirmation, let me call her home and get the information?”
“Yes, do that!” River said in an angry voice. She wanted this confirmation badly.
Hunter took his phone out and called Rosalie’s mother. He put the phone on speaker. “Mrs. Jenna?”
“Good morning, Alpha Hunter!” a soft voice sounded on the phone.
“Where is Rosalie?” he asked without greeting her back.
“She is sleeping in her room, Alpha.”
Hunter looked at River with a raised eyebrow as if asking her if she needed more confirmation.
She leaned towards his ear and whispered, “Ask her to send a photo.”
“No!” Hunter scolded her in a whisper.
“Is there anything else, Alpha Hunter?” Mrs. Jenna asked.
“No, thanks,” he said and disconnected the call. “River, what is wrong with you? You look like Rosalie!”
“But I saw her here!” River insisted.
“She can’t be here. Trust me!” you are obsessed with
River pursed her lips, looked around and then walked towards the pier where their yacht was waiting.
Hunter came after her. He picked her up from behind. She squealed, “Put me down!”
“No. My wife is upset and I can’t let her walk. I will carry her to the boat.”
She giggled and swatted her forearm as he carried her all the way back to the boat.
After three more days of fun, they finally came back. Rosalie was not seen during that time and so River was sure that it was her imagination. Instead of going to the Crescent Pack, she went to the Dark Moon pack directly. Hunter had too many things that were pending and he wanted to be with her.
Jetlag was the main reason why she slept and woke up at odd hours. It took them about two days to come out of the jetlag. Hunter was able to adapt faster than her. On the third day he was already training his warriors in the morning while she was still sleeping.
Faria woke her up. “Lady River!” she called her as she opened the curtains to let the light in. “It is midafternoon. You have to get ready. There are so many things to be done. The pack members are asking for a formal party in the honor of their new Luna!”
River mumbled something incomprehensible and pulled the pillow on her head. She really wanted to keep sleeping. Her husband didn’t let her sleep at all in the night. His sexual hunger was insatiable.
“Lady River, please wake up!” Faria goaded.
If that wasn’t all, Mia came rushing in the room and jumped on River’s sleeping form. “Rivvveeerrrr!” she squealed and hugged her sister-in-law over the blanket. “I am sooooo happy!”
Mia’s enthusiasm was something River loved. She pulled her blanket down and let out a soft laugh.
“Mia, how are you?” “I am well!” Mia said with a grin. “But how are you? Goddess, I missed you so much! Do you know that you have become the hottest topic of the Dark Moon Pack? You have opened the doors for the Lycans to mingle with the werewolves. Something which no one could do in hundreds of years!”
River smiled as she rose up. “Is that so? Then I deserve a treat, don’t I?”
Mia hugged her again. “I am so glad that you are my sister-in-law and not that pink fish walking on the stick.”
“Mia!” River chided her playfully.
“Oh really!” Mia said with her hand on her chest. “Rosalie was only after my brother’s money. Ever since she had come to this castle, she thought no one could replace her. In reality, no one liked her. I
***people who go ahead of themselves!” Mia’s cheeks puffed in anger.
River patted her cheeks playfully. “No more talking about Rosalie. Now let me take a bath. I will join you in the dining room.”
“Yes, you have to join her for lunch, Faria’s irritated voice came from the back.
River chuckled. She knew that Faria was angry because she had been trying to wake her up from a long time, but she woke up when Mia came.
“Do you know the number of appointments you have for today?” Faria added. “There’s a high tea in the mid evening with the wives of the councilors. There’s a dinner party in the evening with the councilors where Alpha Hunter will be introducing you and before all this you have to address, she Lycans on domestic management.”
