Anaiah's POV
The following morning, I woke up when the sunshine hit my face. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, cleaning my body before I went downstairs. I first went to Ajax's room but he wasn't there. I follow his scent to the garden and I'm affronted by what I see, Melody is shouting at the boy. I rush to them, anger rising in me.
"What did he do!" I shout, pushing her away from Ajax. I get on his knee to inspect him. She was gripping his arm so tightly.
"He threw a water balloon with paint on my designer dress! He's so stupid," She yells, I notice her dress is indeed wet and I glance at little Ajax.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see her," he does look sorry. I caress his cheek softly.
"It's alright, love," I face Melody who is still cussing and grimacing.
"It was an honest mistake, you don't have to insult the child," I hissed.
"Goddess! You're so annoying I honestly don't know why he chose you!"
Melody turns to walk away from me but I grab her by the hair and push her to the ground. She hisses in pain and tries to lunge at me but my eyes flash, my wolf silently commanding her to stay down. She submits to me, inclining her neck as her cheek faces the ground. Melody is shaking and I wonder what Chalo did to make her react the way she did.
"You have been nothing but rude to everyone since your arrival and I didn't put you in your place sooner. Listen, Melody or whatever you call yourself, you're in my presence, your Queen and I'm the host, henceforth be cautious with your action or I'll be forced to deal with you harshly," I tell her.
She is nodding vigorously.
"And for the days you are here, don't dare go near this child again or so help me," with those words, I grab Ajax's hand and the woman on the ground only do I notice a few people who were watching, Blanco was one of them but I was too angry to talk to him.
"She was shaking in fear, your eyes were glowing yellow," Says Ajax, amused.
I take a calming breath to soothe myself. I direct Ajax to the kitchen and place him on the island before walking to the stove.
"It only means that my wolf is close," I inform him as I get some eggs and sausage to make breakfast for him.
"I know,"
"Can you feel your inner Lycan yet?" I ask. He nods.
"We speak and he told me that I'll shift once I'm thirteen," he tells me.
"What's his name?"
"Jax,"
We continue to discuss as I make him french toast and sausages. I give him his plate and juice.
"Thank you!" He says with a toothy grin. I make myself a cup of coffee and slowly sip on it as I watch him eat. I was told by his governess that he likes it here, it's a breath of fresh air for him and his nightmares stopped. However, he needs to see a therapist.
