CHAPTER 21

  Edna pov

  The house was getting even more tense and everyone was waiting to hear what my dad had to say since he called for a meeting. I was guessing he called the meeting because of the misunderstanding between Aaron and his dad but I couldn't conclude until I knew what it's about.

  "Where is everyone? I have something important to attend to." My dad said as he was checking his wrist watch. I was the only one in the sitting room with dad waiting for others to get here.

  I sighted aunt Erica yawning as she was walking down the stairs, she looked really tired because she's not a morning person.

  "Good morning aunt." I greeted her and she smiled before sitting down. My dad seemed more into the paper he was reading than the meeting he called for.

  "What is this gathering for, you ruined my beautiful sleep." Aunt Erica said to dad angrily. I could tell she was very upset from the way she sounded.

  "Where are the others? When everyone is here you'll find out why I called for the meeting." My dad said to her, he was trying to tell her to remain patient and see what the meeting was about.

  After waiting for almost thirty minutes the other members of the family joined us including Amber.

  "You didn't have to join." I whispered to Amber.

  She texted her head on my shoulder and held my hand. "I have something to tell the family too." I could already tell what she was going to tell everyone and I don't know why she is so bent on taking the step.

  Everyone was finally in the sitting room including Aaron, he looked like he was going to punch my dad for making him wake so early.

  The look on everyone's face said it all, they looked very upset, it seemed like I was the only one fine with the meeting.

  "Sorry for tuning your beautiful sleep, I just have something important to tell you all." My dad said to us. We were patient waiting to hear what the information would be because there is no celebration whatsoever anytime soon.

  "Ever since Aaron returned it's been from one misunderstanding to the other everyday, you do realize people are seeing everything and it's beginning to spread around the pack. It rubs the royal family in a bad way." I could understand what my dad was saying.

  Everyone in the sitting room was quietly listening to what he was saying.

  "Why am I here? I thought you had something important to say." Aaron said rudely and stood up from his seat.

  "Don't you dare walk out on the Alpha." His dad said to him angrily. Aaron stopped on his tracks and laughed. Everyone focused on him while he was laughing.

  "What makes you think you have the right to tell me what and what not?" Aaron asked his dad.

  King Baron was not happy with what was going on and it was more like his words made the whole thing worse than it was.

  "Aaron!" His dad yelled his name angrily. We all stood up from our seats because of his tone because the argument was getting more tense.

  "I am your father and you will be exactly as I have said." I opened my eyes wider than normal when I heard what he said because he's been making it clear that Aaron is no longer his son but all of a sudden he's now claiming him as his son.

  "You stopped being my dad a long time ago." Aaron said to him and finally walked away. Aunt Erica looked at dad and shook her head before walking away. Just like that the meeting ended and nothing was sorted, in fact it got worse because not Aaron claimed he doesn't have a dad anymore.

  Alpha Baron walked away ahd I sat on the couch alongside Amber who looked very tired, she sacrificed her sleep for a failed meeting.

  I was the only one left in the sitting room still trying to process what just happened and how they all vanished without listening to my dad.

  After a while I left the sitting room and headed to my room. When I got to my room I sat tiredly on the bed and fell on my back before closing my eyes. There's a lot I need to clear from my memory, I just thought it'll be better to sleep over it then by the time I wake I'll feel better.

  *******

  Few hours later.

  I woke up abs realized it was already getting dark, I can't believe I slept for so long. I immediately stood up from the bed and had my shower. Ever since the family called dad has not said anything about when they'll be coming over to do the right thing.

  What bothered me the most is that I don't know who the young man is as the fact that his parents were the ones involved in the selection, I don't know if he's also aware of their choice.

  When I was done dressing up I rushed downstairs to join the rest of the family for dinner.

  When I got downstairs it was just dad, Amber and Aaron that were dining , the rest of the family refused to join.

  "What about aunt Erica?" Amber signaled me not to say anything so I don't trigger dad. I turned to look at Aaron and our eyes met, though we didn't say anything to each other.

  I felt bad because things were going fine before I joined the family, maybe I'm not destined to be happy or I am filled with bad luck that follows me wherever I go.

  Throughout dinner I was quiet, I had nothing to say and looking at the expression on dad's face I could already tell he was upset but trying not to let it show too much.

  "Edna," My dad called my name. I turned to look at him the moment I heard my name.

  "You are getting married next week, the date has been fixed." My heart skipped a beat. Amber and Aaron looked at me when they heard what dad said to me.

  I was left speechless. I have been curious to know who I will be getting married to, but all of a sudden I don't care anymore instead I am scared about finding out who they are.

  I faked a smile almost immediately and continued eating my food.

  When we were done eating I excused myself first and headed to the room. While I was in the room I had a flashback of what Alpha Baron said to me while we were having dinner.

  It's been one year already since I started living here and I feel very comfortable leaving them bothers me a lot.

  I stood up from the bed and paved around the room looking worried, then I heard a knock on the door.

  "Edna," I heard a tiny voice call. I couldn't have been wrong with my guess because it's who I imagined it to be.

  Amber was already calling me out of my room. She moved back to her room a few days ago and she's back again.

  I opened the door immediately so I could know what she had to say.

  "Come out." She said to me pulling my hands. I decided not to argue with her ahd just see why she's calling me out of my room. When I got out of the room we both headed downstairs.

  "What are you up to this time?" I asked her as she was taking me to the garden.

  While we were heading there I sighted Mrs Arthur, a smile clouded my face the moment I sighed her. We walked closer and I realized it was a mini picnic.

  I lowered my head to look at Amber while struggling not to cry, she's the most intentional sister anyone could ever wish to have.

  "Don't you dare cry." Amber said to me when she saw how watery my eyes were. I bent down and gave her a warm hug.

  Mrs Arthur also stretched her hands as I hugged her. It felt like my last night in the pack house already.

  "Why did you do this?" I asked them, still struggling, not to cry. Amber couldn't hold in the tears anymore.

  "Oh my baby." I said to her and placed her head on my chest while we were all seated on the floor.

  "I can't believe I'm about to live with a sister again." Amber mumbled. My eyes were so watery though I was controlling myself not to be too emotional.

  "Don't say that Amber, I'm always going to be your sister," I said to her trying to calm her down.

  "Come on you two, the snacks are getting cold." Mrs Arthur said to us ahd Amber had released me from her grip.

  "She made your favorite pie." Amber said and handed the pie to me. I couldn't stop grinning seeing how much I was loved for the first time in a while.

  I wish I could live like this for the rest of my life.

  "Oh shit, I can't believe I just cried." Amber said sarcastically trying to get her lick back. We all laughed and continued eating.

  It was a very beautiful and memorable moment and the fact that Mrs Arthur joined us made it more beautiful.

  "Next week is so close." Mrs Arthur said and there was a sudden silence. Thinking about getting married gave me chills but I was so excited about it.

  "Do you think they'll love me?" I asked Mrs Arthur worried.
