Chapter 68 The car came to a stop and Askhan was the first to get out .
He made his way to our side of the car and helped us with the door .
Emma was the first to hop out before I stepped out after all .
She hurried over to Askhan who was more than willing to take her in his arms .
Lets head in .
He sent me a smile before leading the way into the palace .
Emma remained perched close to Askhan as he showed her around , pointing out all the places in the palace like some sort of tour guide .
I watched the interaction between them , unable to hold back the smile on my face .
You needed to see your mother when she was a little girl .
Askhan laughed .
Emmas eyes widened .
What was mommy like ? Askhans eyes glinted mischievously as he turned back to Emma .
She was a fighter .
The strongest among all the female Alphas we had .
Back then , she used to protect all her friends , no matter the circumstance .
Emma turned to me , a look of awe in her face .
My face was starting to hurt from how hard Id been smiling .
Youre so cool , mom .

Emma beamed .
I laughed .
Oh , am I ? She nodded her head vigorously and began to demonstrate how I must have fought off all the bad guys back then .
I told Askhan Id like to stay in the parts of the palace where Id lived when I first came to the Alpha Palace .
He was more than willing to let me stay where I wanted , bidding Emma goodbye even though she tried to cling to him .
Thats enough now .
I said as the door slammed shut .
Lets get you to bed .
But Im not tired .
She whined .
Doesnt matter .

She tried to run away but I had her trapped in my grip .
Mom ! Alright , alright .
I stopped with the tickles , wrapping my arms around her .
Lets get you to bed now , shall we ? She nodded her head , a rosy colour dusting her cheeks .
I led her to bed and tucked her in , making sure she was asleep before I left her side .
Now alone , I took the liberty to check through all parts of the palace .
It felt like such a long time ago when I lived here .
Id stayed here for the better part of my life before I finally got married .
This place held so many memories for me .
The better part of my teenage years had been spent here .
As I scoured through the rooms Id once stayed in , my eyes landed on a bracelet .
It was a crystal bracelet Id gotten during my early adult years .
Quentin had given me the bracelet .
I held the bracelet up , examining it in my hands and marvelling at the way it seemed to glimmer in the light .
At that time , Quentin had been cold and detached , a stone wall that couldnt be broken no matter what .
He never showed any emotion to anyone .
Regardless of this , he had always been very patient with me .
The sound of my ringtone broke me out of my daze and I picked it up.
It was Quentin .
I let a curse under my breath .
Was he reading my mind through Luna ? I never thought something as simple as making a phone call could make me feel so stressed .
Clearing my throat , I put the phone to my ear .

Quentins voice came as smooth as silk over the phone .
Hearing him call me that nickname shouldnt have had any effect on me whatsoever , yet hearing my name on his tongue sent this weird feeling through me .
When we were young , Quentin used to call me that in private .
The epithet seemed to awaken certain memories , but I compressed them all to a place where they could not cloud my judgment .
Hi , Quentin .
I answered calmly .
Whats up ? There was a small pause before he finally spoke .
Just wanted to check in with you , see how youre doing .
Oh , Im good .
The grip on my phone was tighter than normal .
A part of me wondered what was the real reason hed called me .
It didnt make sense .
You and me , The Steig .
What do you say ? he asked .
The Steig was a renowned , high class restaurant , known for having the most delicious and sensational delicacies .
This restaurant was one of my favorites before I got married .
I rolled the words over in my head , my heart beat speeding up as I thought about it .
He wanted us to meet up for some reason best known to him .
