Chapter 51 : Focus on the Life Ahead

The closet was filled with gorgeous, elaborate dresses. They seemed inappropriate for breakfast, even if I was in a brothel.

I found a dress shoved in the back. It was a soft jade green color with off the shoulder sleeves. It wasn’t flashy or shiny and it was nice, form fitting. I slid the dress on and brushed it into place.

Downstairs, I could smell warm, fresh breakfast and my stomach growled. Mouth watering, I hurried into the dining room where Soren and Scarlett were waiting for me.

Scarlett smiled and patted the seat beside her. I sat down next to her and across from Soren.

The table was covered in fresh muffins and coffee cake. There was bacon, eggs, several kinds of juice, champagne for mimosas, and fresh cut fruit.

“Please, help yourself, my dear,” Scarlett said.

I grabbed a warm muffin and cut it open, slathering butter inside.

“That is a nice dress. I don’t recall it being in that room,” Scarlett said, eyeing me suspiciously.

“I had to dig for it. All that you had in that closet were ball gowns,” I pointed out, arching an eyebrow.

Soren chuckled. “Scarlett isn’t the type to have… casual clothes.”

Scarlett glanced sideways at Soren. “No, I’m not. This dress must have been left behind.” she pulled at the sleeve of my dress.

“I’m glad it was there,” I said, shrugging.

“Well, you certainly are pretty, no matter what you wear. Though, I imagine Soren thinks you’re more beautiful when you wear nothing,” Scarlett teased.

Soren chuckled and reached for his mimosa.

My cheeks burned and I took a big bite of my buttered muffin to avoid answering.

I liked Scarlett. She was easy to get along with and hard to be mad at. Even when she teased me, she still had a way of making it seem special.

When I finished my muffin, I took a deep breath and wiped my mouth with a napkin.

“Scarlett, have you ever heard of Alpha Kaleb and Luna Jessica?” I asked, broaching the subject.

“Hmm… sounds familiar,” Scarlett said, glancing at the ceiling. “Do you have more information about them? I’m not all that great with names.”

“They died about 14 years ago,” Soren jumped in. “Their pack was attacked and…” he glanced at me.

I smiled weakly and nodded. It was hard to listen to but I needed answers. I needed to know the truth.

“… They were wiped out, completely,” he finished.

“Ahh, yes. That does ring a bell. 14, maybe 15 years ago, there was a period of time that was very chaotic. Chaotic for the packs, I mean,” Scarlett explained.
