Raymond entered the room shortly after and whispered something to one of the maids. She nodded and went with a few others towards the kitchen.
“Sorry for the delay. She’s going to start bringing out our meal now,” Raymond said as he took his seat at the head of the table.

“But not everyone is here yet,” I said, glancing around the table and wasn’t an empty chair left..
“Oh, were you expecting someone else, Alpha?” Raymond asked with a frown. “I wasn’t aware. Your Beta didn’t inform me…”
I glanced at Michele Montague who looked a bit sheepish. I got the feeling that she knew who I was talking about. She bit her bottom lip and stared down at her plate, refusing to meet my eyes.
“I guess not,” I murmured, still confused, keeping it quiet for right now.
Soon, the maids were returning with our food, and they served us both the meal and wine.
‘Daddy, the maids have been working so hard. I think we should give them the rest of the evening off,” Kelsey said as she nibbled on her steak
“And who will clean up after dinner?” Raymond asked raising his brows.
“I’ll take care of it,” she said, shrugging. “It’s honestly no problem. It’s the least I can do.”
Raymond thought it over carefully before relenting and nodding.
“Okay,” he said, taking a big bite of his food. “If you don’t mind.”
She grinned as she continued to eat her food.
We spoke casually for most of the meal; I couldn’t help but worry about Judy though. She was somewhere in this manor… I could smell her as if she was right next to me.

“Kelsey has been awhile,” I pointed out.
“Oh, I’m sure she’s fine. There were a lot of dishes,” Meredith said, sipping on her coffee.
“Still, I’m going to check on her,” I said, standing to my feet.
“Such a noble Lycan he is,” Raymond laughed, Meredith laughed as well but it was more forced and
awkward.
I ignored them both and made my way back toward the dining hall. But as I reached the door, I heard Kesley’s voice sneering, which made me freeze.
“You are nothing but a useless bitch! Only good for being a slave and cleaning up after my family’s meal. How does it feel to be a nobody?”
