34: The Forbidden Staircase

FEYRE

Delilah didn’t elaborate on what she meant by Alpha Zade bowing to not taking a mate and I had acted uninterested though curiosity is killing me.

Breakfast was awkward to say the least and I wanted it to end even before it started. I didn’t have such luck and it drew on, what was supposed to be at most an hour ended up feeling like ten. Alpha Zade didn’t speak to me, he barely even looked at me which I am not complaining about. Damien didn’t come down thankfully, the tension in the air would have been more if he was here. It is already suffocating as it is.

I have probably broken every record for being the worst person in the world by now but I felt relieved when Alpha Zade left the table. It could be that he was done eating but he hadn’t touched his plate. I thought the awkwardness would leave with him but it became worse if that was even possible.

The only relief I had was Delilah who sat beside me and she kept telling me in very low voices about the other people at the table.
