Chapter 0218

Just as we were getting settled into a late lunch, there was a knock at the door.

“Is everyone decent, before | enter?” Alpha Reggie’s deep baritone voice called out from the crackin the door.

“| already told you we were done and cleaned up dear.

Come on in. Silly man.” She muttered the last part under her breath.

“Hey now, no making fun of the old man. | don't have daughters and | don't know the protocol forentering the room after a clothing session.” His cheeks were a little pink as he said this walking upnext to his mate. He was just as cute as Alpha Lucas in dad mode. He kissed her on the top of thehead and then looked at me. “| was wondering if | could steal you away for a bit before you go?"

| nodded, what else was | going to do? If the King wants to see you it’s not exactly a request. |wiped my face and thanked Luna Anne. | turned to Sierra and told her | still had to ask about studytimes at the bunkhouse, but | would let her know Tuesday at school, then followed Alpha Reggieout.

Once the door was closed we took a right and headed down a long hallway, walking in silence for avery long time. We made it to a large set of glass doors that looked over a patio. A couple ofOmegas | hadn't even noticed opened the doors for us and we continued outside. This ‘patio’ wasn'tjust a patio. It was a huge landing that spanned the whole length of this side of the castle. To myleft, it extended to the rocky surface of the mountain the castle was built into and to my right itcurved around in a large arc, almost disappearing to the front of the castle. Still we kept walking.Alpha Reggie led me to a set of stairs that was so well designed, you wouldn't notice them unlessyou walked over here to look over the railing. We descended to the lawn that was lush and green

and so well maintained. And still we kept walking. | was getting nervous, he hadn't said anything tome since we left Luna Anne and we have been together for almost ten minutes. | think | could seeour destination now though, in front of us is a hedge, similar to what Luna Ava has in her backyardat home. Having a maze in your yard must be an Alpha thing.

My suspicions were confirmed when we headed straight towards it and took a quick right into thelarge, squared off bushes. Alpha Reggie was tall enough to see over the top of the hedgerow, butmy height made that impossible unless | jumped, which was not happening in front of the AlphaKing.

“Sorry, for all of the secrecy, but | never really know who is listening. These hedges are grown in away that the wolfsbane plant is grafted into it so it muffles the sounds of our voices, even for mewith the best hearing as the Alpha King. We cannot be overheard here."

“Ah! | thought | was in trouble. That is so cool though, who

thought of grafting the plants together?"

“I'm pretty sure you can guess the crazy genius behind this."

He smiles over at me.

“Doc Ganon and Doc Sylvia are scary sometimes.” | laugh back to him.

“| believe on one of their expeditions they found something similar and brought it back here. It'salmost better than the soundproofing we have in the conference rooms and it’s hard to placelistening devices here, because the maze is so big and people tend to naturally wander while theytalk."

“I'm not gonna lie, I'm still a bit nervous, now that | know you brought me to basically a soundproof,remote location on your grounds. Am | in trouble?”

He chuckles a bit under his breath, “No, child you are notin trouble, but | didn't want anyonelistening in on our conversation. | have a few questions for you and then | think | have someanswers too.”
