“Did you not get my message?” He asked as I helped him out of his jacket.
“What message?” I went back to my seat, pulling my laptop closer.
“I told you I was taking Jabari on a run.” My laptop closed as I tried to read a line.
“What are you doing?” I asked, confused as he closed my laptop and grabbed it off the table.
“You should be asleep,” he commented, holding my laptop against his th!gh. “Why are you still up? It does not seem as if you have plans to sleep soon.”
“I skipped out on a lot of work to help Celeste settle in so I’m trying to go through them before I sleep.
Can I have my laptop back?” I asked, my eyes trained on the silver devices in his hand.
“You woke up by four a.m. today,” he said as if I’d easily forget the fit he threw when I got out of bed early and woke him in the process. “And it is midnight yet you are still awake and I know you didn’t have a nap today.”
“How is Jabari?” I asked, pulling a stack of papers to me. If he wouldn’t give me back my laptop, I would have to work the old fashioned way. “Did you tell him he can’t come around this week?”I didn’t know how Celeste would react if he came here like he did every now and then, randomly checking in on me when the guilt from neglecting his duties caught up with him.
“Yes, I told him.” He put a hand on the stack of papers. “Can you stop working for a second?” He looked peeved when I raised my head.
“What is it? I want to get this done as quickly as possible so I can go to bed. I’m exhausted.” I suppressed a yawn after saying that.
I had a lot of work and I always kept falling behind every day. I didn’t want Valens to have to pick up even the smallest of my duties now that he was shouldering his and picking up the slacks Jabari was leaving.
It svcked that the duties were so specific to certain positions in the pack. There was only so much delegation that could be done. Valens could and would have to pick up after me if I started to slack off but I could not pick up any of his duties. Only Jabari could take on a bit of his work; a tiny bit.
“You look awful,” he said. I leaned back in surprise.
The last time he made an unpleasant comment about my appearance was the day he told me I was not his type. “You need to go to bed. Now.” His tone left no room for debate but I had to debate. If I left it, I would have to attend to it the next day, piling my work.
“It will take me less than two hours to complete that account,” I said, trying to move his hand but all I succeeded in doing was wrinkling the papers.
“Can you stop, please?” I looked up at him but his face remained impassive.
“You are tired, Aysel.” I opened my mouth to argue.
“Get out of that chair.” Even if I wanted to argue, I could not. He’d let a bit of his Alpha power leak into his tone and my wolf could not disobey her Alpha’s command. “Take a bath and go to bed. I never want to see you in this seat, ever again.”
The Alpha’s command leaked into his tone and I had no choice but to obey. I tried to do the basic calculations while I was in the bath but once the water hit my skin, my eyes started to close. I managed to latter my skin with body wash, my limbs suddenly too tired to move.
The bathroom door opened and Valens joined me.
“I didn’t mean to command you,” he said, his breath tickling my ear. I felt him against my back, his hand on my shoulder. He took the washcloth from me to scrub my back. “I just don’t like seeing you overworked.”
“We have an equal number of hours each day. You get everything done while I only ever manage to complete two-thirds of what I am supposed to do.”
I leaned against the bathroom tile as he cleaned me.
“I have to work longer hours if I’m ever going to do a good job as your Luna.”
“I told you that you would have to earn your place as my Luna.” His words were quiet. “I didn’t mean that.”
He told me that when we first mated. I had to make myself worthy of him. I knew now that I didn’t need to prove myself in any way, but that aside, I wouldn’t be a good Luna if I kept falling behind. I told him just that.
“Levana has one pack to manage and she has three assistants. You have forty-four and it is just you.
You are doing more than enough. I never want to see you working past ten ever again.”
I went to sleep shortly after that, my body shutting down the instant my back touched the bed. I woke up late the next morning, pissed that Valens purposely did not wake me. In fact, he already left for work by the time I got out of bed.
I rushed through my morning routine, packed lunch, and was about to grab my pile of work when I realised they weren’t on the desk anymore. There was a note waiting for me on the desk.
I completed the report and we found Skylar.’ I screamed his name as I ran out of the house.
“You could have woken me before leaving, you know,” I grumbled as a way of greeting once I got into Valens’ office. “Oh.” I coloured when five heads turned to look at me, one of them with a particularly spiteful glare.
“We are in the middle of a meeting,” the man with the harsh glare said, his expression turning more unpleasant with each second that passed with me standing at the door like a dimwit.
“Right,” I said with a smile, fighting the burst of magic that came with the anger I felt at his dismissive tone.
There were speculations about my magic since the display I had in the dungeons with Zavier. The guards were more discreet than I gave them credit.
No one knew for certain that I had magic and Valens cautioned me against outing myself to the world. He didn’t want the reminder of what my hands could do and I understood why.
“Did you sleep well?” My mate asked as I was about closing the door to his office.
