Chapter Twenty-One

After Cody had fully calmed down (it took him awhile) he finally let me get ready. As I said before, these clothes looked hella expensive, I'm talking breaking the bank kind of money, Martha must have had a literal field day buying these. But I have to give credit where credit is due, she did pick loads of amazing clothes that I will definitely wear. She's been going on for years about revamping my wardrobe, she always goes on and on about me wearing the same stuff. It's true, I like the stuff I like and I never feel the need to change that. But now I'm looking at these clothes, maybe I should have let her do my wardrobe sooner, it might have saved Reece and Justin's wardrobe too. I don't know why we're having such a fancy dinner, it's not like we're introducing ourselves to each other. Martha and I have known each other since nursery and I've had a few conversations with Scott, where I don't think I need a formal introduction at a formal dinner. But I guess it's given everyone the excuse to dress up, I'm not trying to brag but I look good. I picked out a deep red skater skirt dress that came up just above the knees, it had a heart shape top and was very flattering. I just done a normal makeup look and curdled my hair at the ends, I ended the look with a pair of black sandal like heels. I take one last look at myself in the mirror before walking out into the bedroom, Cody was laying on the bed staring at the ceiling. I mean he was ready ages before me but he did start getting ready before me also, so I guess it evened it out. He looks up over at me where his mouth just hangs open, his eyes just like me up and down. I kind of brush it off and pick my necklace that I took off when getting changed, I don't like wearing it when I head in the shower. Just before my mum went missing, she gave me her favourite heart shaped necklace. She always wore this growing up, I felt so honoured the day she gave it me. Thinking back now, it was only a couple days before she went missing, it was like she knew she wouldn't be around so she gave me something to have of hers. This is just cementing the fact that she did indeed plan to run away, which just also makes Ethan's theory of her running away with her mate even more possible. "I will find him you know" Cody says from across the room snapping me out of my thoughts, I send him a questioning look not knowing what he was getting at "your previous boyfriend, I will find out who is than find him" he says which just makes me sigh while looking at him through the mirror. "Can you just drop this? He is locked away in prison where he belongs okay, end of story so we just need to forget about him" I say sorting my necklace so it was done properly and wouldn't fall off, that is one of my biggest fears when wearing this. "What did he even do that's making you so secretive about him?" He asks slowly sliding out of bed, why is he so interested the dude is in the past now? "if you don't tell me there are other ways I can find out, I have Martha who would know" he says but I just let out a laugh, that was a good try. "Martha wouldn't say what happened, it's got a lot to do with her" I say now putting a pair of earrings in, but I could still see him standing behind me through the mirror. "Than I'll ask Scott" he says but I still shake my head, that was another good try but he's still missing the mark. "There is no way she'd tell him about it" I say placing the second earring in my ear, he doesn't seem to like this idea. "You not telling me is just giving me the insensitive to go and find him, that way I'll find out right from the source" he says crossing his arms getting all annoyed, I honestly didn't know why. "If we're asking questions, why did you do it?" I ask being as vague as he was at the start of the conversation, he gives me the same look I gave him too "why'd you attack the town? You took nothing that would be worth the trouble, so what was the point?" I ask crossing my arms to look at him, this takes him as a surprise where he looks away at the wall. "That wasn't my call, I didn't plan that, I arrived there to stop it" he mutters walking away slightly, but he had already peaked my interest so I need to know more. "But you're the Alpha, that is your call to make and only yours" I say loving that I knew all the minor details of their world, nothing was getting passed me. "They listen when the one person who is just a rank under me and normally, is the one that gives the orders I set, which no one questioned when told" he says going on a long tangent as he spoke, he starts to pace as he was speaking like he was getting annoyed. "So Scott?" I ask knowing the rank just under him was his Beta, the Luna has got the same rank as the Alpha, he just nods confirming I was correct "But why would Scott attack the town, we done knowing wrong to any of you before this, it was like one day you guys just appeared out of nowhere and took all your anger out on us" I say my mind now going back to the day of the raid, funny that we call it a raid but as I said not much was even taken. "It wasn't against you or mostly anyone in your previous town, Scott heard some things from someone close to him and couldn't contain his anger, I tried to stop him but as soon as my back was turned he did it anyway, I was this close from stripping him from his ranks" he says pointing his fingers that were inches away from each other, what could Scott have learnt that made him so mad that he attacked the town? "Before you ask the question I know you're about to, it's better if I don't tell you right now, especially, before we're about to have dinner with the man" he says fixing his suit that he messed up from laying in bed, the only thing he is achieving is peaking my interest more and now I wanna know the rest. "Why is it best that I don't know?" I ask just wanting to get more answers from him, I know I'm the lead officers daughter but that doesn't mean I have to be kept out of the loop on these things, all I've been lately is kept out of the loop. "I don't want you getting upset just yet" he says now walking over to me, he's doing it again, peaking more of my interest! "Okay, let's just agree that both of us have some things that we can't tell each other, but in time when we're both ready, we'll tell each other everything" I say with a smile even though I wanted nothing more than to ask him more about Scott, but he's back off from asking me about my ex so I need to respect that. "That is definitely something I can agree on" he smiles placing his hands on my back, well at least I know he won't ask me anymore "now enough talking, let's go get you to dinner" he says opening the bedroom door, finally! "Please, I haven't eaten anything today and my body won't stop reminding me" I say which just makes him start to look worried, he takes my hand and literally drags me out the bedroom and down the stairs. "Why didn't you tell me before, I would have pulled the dinner forward?" He asks as we reach the bottom step, he takes another posh looking ladies coat from the hook "another one of Martha's purchases, but it is quite cold outside and I don't want you catching a cold" he tells me while holding the coat up so I could put my arms through. Once the coat was fully on he opens the door, the freezing night air fills the house which makes me thankful I am wearing this coat. It didn't stop my legs from being freezing though, in no time we were walking out the gate and towards the pack house, for my long awaited dinner.
