    Our gazes met, my own sad green orbs filled with fear meeting his dark eyes void of


    emotions. He assessed my features for a while with a frown on his face before looking away like I


    was insignificant.


    of course, you are insignificant to him!


    "You may sit." The Beta chirped sassily like she was in charge and I could have sworn that I heard


    willow snort.


    They both approached the table as we sat, still entangled with each arms in arms and I grew


    nervous as they got nearer.


    Lycus walked to the seat opposite me and drew it out for the Beta to sit. My heart lurched at this


    gesture. She sent him a flirty smile before taking her seat which she did while sending me a cold


    re.


    He took his seat next and I felt my insides flutter at the close proximity within us. He was so near


    and the urge to reach out and smooth his brows which were etched in a frown was strong.


    "Mother." He cleared his throat, "Can we talk outside before breakfast starts?" He asked her and I


    knew he wanted to talk about me being at the table.


    "Not now Lycus." She said sending him a smile, "Whatever you have to talk about can wait dear


    boy." I knew she was trying to avoid the conversation.


    There was a brief silence at the table, no one saying anything and from the look on Lycus and


    Helena''s faces, I could tell that they were mindlinking.


    My stomach growled embarrassingly disrupting the silence and Lycus sent me a re. I hid my


    head in shame.


    "Ohh, we have a hungry one." The beta snorted, "Shall we eat?" She said pping her hands and


    servants began to swim ining our sides to help us in dishing the food.


    Before they could get to us, a soft wind blew and a bright light shone following the sudden


    appearance of someone in the room. I jumped in shock but other members of the table seemed


    unfazed as if it was a regr urrence.


    The person that came in was a male. He was dressed in a white garment and wore a golden band


    on his head which shone brightly. In his hand he held a scroll.


    "Your highness." He bowed towards Lycus, "Sorry for the intrusion but this is an emergency."


    Lycus nodded at him and he proceeded in greeting other table members before turning to Helena


    and then he went on one knee bowing to her before handing her the scroll.


    I was bewildered at the way he greeted and bowed to her and I began to wonder what rank she


    held apart from being the former Luna.


    "What is it Dendri?" She asked collecting the scroll, "Did the other members send you?"


    "Yes, you Highness." He replied still in that position, "Your presence is needed immediately and you


    can read the letter on your way."


    "Okay, I guess I better start going." She said standing up from her seat.


    Going where? Was she leaving me? How do I cope here? No, she can''t leave! I panicked severely


    as I watched her rise from the table.


    "Everyone have a lovely breakfast." She smile at them, "See youter Nyx, do enjoy yourself." She


    patted my cheek before telling Dendri to rise.


    He did and they held hands, instantly they vanished.


    A lump formed in my throat and I swallowed hard. She just left me here with people who


    hate me and my existence. I turned back to the table still stunned hoping that my existence is


    ignored and I have a peaceful breakfast.
