Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Heartache splintered through her. "Maybe we could visit the poor? I know how you love seeing how funny it is when they beg. Perhaps their dirty little lives will be worth something, and they can improve your mood." She remembered the last time they'd visited the puny little families in Darktown and how happy he was. For days, he smiled and beamed at her. "I don't want that. I want father." Once again, his bottom lip slid out. Unable to stop herself, she checked to make sure the servant hadn't returned before shipping onto his lap. She grabbed his head lightly and pulled him to her in a kiss. Sliding her tongue over his lips, asking for entrance. So soft. "I know what would improve your mood." She said silkily. Grabbing his hand, she pulled her top down and placed his palm against her breast as she let her head fall back. "Perhaps a little playtime with mommy would help. It did last time, when that stupid slave ruined our plans." It improved her mood, too. She fantasized about it for months. Aching to have it again. Abruptly, he stood, shoving her to the floor. "I don't want your saggy breast, mommy! I want father! Here. NOW! How can he spend so much time away from the most important thing in the kingdom?" He stalked to the railing on the edge of the balcony, placing his hands over the top of it. She was hurt. Saggy breasts? Her Wolf was enraged. How dare the pup insult her. But Rebecca calmed her and pulled herself up from the floor. He just needs. love. Can't you see how kurt he is? She spoke soothingly to her Wolf. She fixed her top as she walked to his side, and then she wrapped her arms around his big, muscled bicep. "I'm working on it. I promise, beloved. He will be here before the end of spring. He's already confirmed it." Someone had come up behind them and cleared their throat. "Mistress, you have a correspondence from Dax Castle. It's marked as urgent." Butterflies-lit up within her. Had Dax died on his own? Perhaps David had completed his job early? She'd instructed him to wait until the end of summer, but it truly didn't matter at this point. She snatched the letter from him and said, "See, beloved! Our prayers and plans are coming together." She turned to her son and finished with, "Go collect the foxes. A hunt always helps you. And don't forget that the black hounds are the most fun with the chase." Finally, he blessed her with a smile before bounding through the balcony doors: She dismissed the servant and hastily ripped the note open. Leo went forward with Dax's marriage to Savonnuh. The peal of laughter that she couldn't control was the best thing she'd heard all day. "How glorious. Stupid Beta! You actually let your daughter marry him?! However, her mirth didn't last. The woman had barred David from continuing his poisoning. He reassured her that he believed Savonnuh was still administering the Wolfsbane, but he was concerned it wasn't enough. She'd taken possession of many of his duties concerning Dax, and he was seeking her instructions. "Damn!" She cursed aloud. It had never crossed her mind that Savonnuh had any backbone. Let alone any desire to take care of a brain-dead invalid. She had been forced to wait at least two years before Alec could take the place us Alpha heir. Two years to prove that the original heir was unfit. She had planned to wait, but she may not have that option now. She stalked back to her library and pulled a quill and parchment out. She was going to respond immediately. Informing David to intervene and personally confirm that Dax was being taken care of. She made sure to word it carefully. And if he was unable to intervene that way, then he would need to also make sure he cared for Savonnuh if the need arose. She had no qualms about offing the selfish brat, even if she had to do it herself. Bax would be dead before the Winter Solstice, she would make sure of it.
