Chapter 23
In the dining room, while Danna ate breakfast, she chatted animatedly with Maya about the schedule of the meetings. It was then that Danna noticed the entrance of Eros with her daughter in her arms. She watched as he settled her in the chair, and for a few moments, she was engrossed, staring at his body-hugging white shirt and the tailored black pants that highlighted his shapely pecs. He shook his head when he heard Maya say with a mischievous smile.
“Danna, stop drooling over your enemy or he’ll notice.
Danna was startled and swallowed as she felt uncovered. With her eyes downcast, she replied to her friend.
“Stop talking nonsense, I was just watching Eos being settled in the chair,” Danna replied, feeling embarrassed to have been discovered. Then he tried to hide it and added with a smile. Puppy, come with Mommy. I’ll help you eat.
“Mommy, can I call him Daddy handsome now?” Yesterday you said it was your mate and I was your daughter. Please, Mommy, can you give me the food? Eos blinked several times, pouting dramatically.
Those present watched the girl with a tender smile while Eros waited for Danna’s approval. She sighed and answered.
“It’s okay for your handsome daddy to help you eat.
As they finished eating, Eurides spoke:
“Danna, may I take a walk around the village with Eos?” I want to give you some gifts.
Eos’ little face lit up completely at the sound of the word “gifts.” Without waiting for his mother to speak, he exclaimed.
“Grandma, my mommy and daddy will be busy with the other alphas. Eos will be bored here alone and I want to go with you.
Danna couldn’t believe her daughter’s chutzpah, and thought to herself, “It looks like I’m not her mother.”
Eros interjected, saying.
“Little princess! Your mother is the one who must give you permission to go out.” As he spoke, Eros spread strawberry jam on his daughter’s toast.
“Sure, Eurides, you can go out with Eos. I know he’s in good hands with you.
Aragne, who had remained silent, rose from the table, and commented.
“Danna, I’m leaving for the colony. I must leave early to arrive before dark. It is dangerous to walk alone in the woods.
Danna stood up and hugged Aragne affectionately, for her it represents parts of her roots.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“When this is all over and we defeat the enemy, I want to visit the place where my mother grew up. I want to know your home.
“Danna, the colony is also your home and the princess’s. My people will be waiting for you with open arms. The princess is our hope,” he said with excitement in his voice.
“Four of my men will accompany you,” he glanced at Maya before continuing. Arrange for Aragne to be escorted to the colony, to rest there during the journey, and to return early tomorrow. To keep you informed on the way to the colony.
Aragne, after saying goodbye, retired with Maya. Eurides took his granddaughter by the hand and left the dining room.
“Your Majesty, can we talk in the office?” I want to explain to you about the agenda with the alphas.” Eros got up from the table and motioned for Danna to follow him.
Danna felt overwhelmed and nervous as she followed Eros. I didn’t want to be alone with him. Upon entering, she took a seat in front of the desk and looked at him sideways, feeling that her body would betray her.
Eros circled the desk and sat down in his large armchair, speaking calmly, he said.
“Your Majesty, my Beta, informed me that the enemy attacked two packs near the border. Edon continues to advance towards our lands. He has an army of renegades and a creature that he uses to attack the packs and plunder them.
Danna nodded her head, though she wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying. She was concentrating on the movements of her full lips, which danced provocatively and sensually.
“Your Majesty, do you have anything to say about that?” With my army and your help, we will be able to face the enemy.
Danna blinked several times, the thought running through her mind. “What the hell is wrong with me and what did he say?” In order not to look like a fool, she decided to say something.
“I dreamed of you last night,” he opened his eyes, surprised by the words that came out of his mouth.
“Your Majesty, it must have been a nightmare. I suppose it was unpleasant for you.” Eros didn’t know how to respond so as not to offend her.
Danna blushed at the thought that those wet lips felt so real in her dream.
“Eros, last night I dreamed that you kissed me. But I guess it was just that, a dream. I don’t think you had the nerve to kiss me in my sleep,” she said coldly, trying to control the sudden fire that ran through her body. I needed to get out of there urgently.
Eros raised his eyebrows as he felt discovered. He didn’t understand how she knew that, since he had kissed her lips while she was fast asleep. He couldn’t admit it, he knew she would hate him even more if he found out.
“As you said, it was just a dream. From me, you will find respect. I wouldn’t try to take advantage of the queen.
Danna was bewildered, unable to believe in the serenity of that wolf. She got up, annoyed, and almost ran out of the office in search of Maya.
Eros laughed, finding Danna’s temperamental attitude amusing.
The day passed between meetings and strategies. Danna was involuntarily watching Eros, as he spoke with determination and intelligence, which made him look more attractive and sensual. He shook his head to keep from thinking nonsense. However, her she-wolf was impatient, and Danna knew that her uneasiness was due to her.
Arriving at the mansion, Eos ran into his father’s arms. Eros picked her up and gave her a tender kiss on the head. The girl began to tell him what she had done with her grandmother. Danna seized the opportunity and hurriedly retreated to her room, followed by Maya.
“Danna, what’s wrong with you?” I saw you restless during the meeting and it seemed like you were devouring Eros with your eyes,” he said confidently, noticing a mischievous twinkle in Danna’s eyes.
She wished the earth would swallow her at that moment. She didn’t even know why she felt that way.
“Maya, why is it that you’ve become overdone lately?”
“Friend, I think you’re getting into heat; I’m going to be entertained by seeing how you raise your mate’s libido.”
“Stop talking nonsense and get out of my room. He informs Eurides that I am feeling a little unwell and that I will not go down to dinner.
With a smile, Maya walked out of the room, leaving Danna in a nuisance. Now she didn’t know how to stop that “mangy wolf” from touching her.
