Chapter 17 An Entirely Different Future Awaits

Selene’s POV

I’ve been sitting at this table for the last thirty minutes staring down at my fork as I move food around on my plate. My father is sitting at the head of the table and Pierre sits across from me.

I’ve only half listened to their conversation as they try to pull me in to talk with them multiple times. In all honesty I don’t want to be here, and I wish they would get the hint.

Her brows lift then furrow as she takes my full plate and sets down the dinner she’s prepared. The look telling me she did not just slave over this meal just for me to waste it. I simply shrug my shoulder in response. As she heads back to the kitchen, I return to moving the food around my plate
