Mrs. Brown walked inside the main doors with a small smile on her lips. She held Milan in her arms, who was still sobbing a little bit. Whatever happened at the house needed to be discussed, but at the moment she could do nothing except forcing her lips into a grin and pretending as though everything was okay.
“Pardon me, I just got busy with some work at home. I hope I didn’t make any of you wait,” she spoke with half-hearted expressions. “I am sorry if I did.”
She had just approached the couch when Luna stood up, “Oh no, you are not. We just gathered here. Mr. Stark is on his way.” She informed, progressing her walk toward her until her eyes noticed Milan.
Milan was sobbing against her mother’s collarbone, with audible sobs that the Alpha and her husband, including Luna, moved their confused eyes from her face to Milan’s tiny frame held by her.
She did not want to come to today’s induction ceremony after how Zander treated Milan, yet she had to visit the Alpha’s house as there was no option left.
She had never assumed that something like that would happen in her house! Zander was aggressive, he did worry her and her husband, but having him do something like that was unexpected.
She could not brush off what happened, and Milan’s crying was making it next to impossible for her to even forget it.
“Uhh, she was not ready to leave the house, I had to get her along forcibly. Excuse her cries,” she lied, sensing her daughter’s body shivering in her arms.
