Chapter 4: The Uninvited Guest
William walked into the grand room, where his mother, Kayna, sat on a fancy couch. Leon and Arthur were already there, and Rahina stood by the window.
William Northumbria.
(This is worse than a storm disaster.)(─.─||）
William Northumbria.
(At least storm disaster are predictable.)
Kayna (William's Mother)
Ah, William, there you are!✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
Kayna (William's Mother)
Don't waste time, darling.
Kayna (William's Mother)
Your friends were just asking after you.
Kayna (William's Mother)
And Rahina, of course, was quite concerned.
Kayna (William's Mother)
*Her smile was sharp, not warm.*
William Northumbria.
Mother. Leon. Arthur. Rahina.
William Northumbria.
* nodded curtly *
His gaze briefly sweeping over Rahina.
Her alpha scent was clean, but utterly dull compared to the memory of Lucus.
Leon (William's childhood friend)
Tough morning, Willy?
Leon (William's childhood friend)
You look like you slept on a pile of rocks.
Leon (William's childhood friend)
*Leon's eyes twinkled.*
Arthur (William's friend)
Or maybe you just ate too many Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphiokarabomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptokephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon.

Arthur (William's friend)
*Arthur chuckled, accepting a teacup from a servant.*
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
*stepping closer, her hand lightly touching William's arm*
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
William, darling.
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
You were so elusive.
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
Are you quite well?
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
You seem... preoccupied. *Her touch was possessive.*
William Northumbria.
(Too close.)
William Northumbria.
(Her scent is... boring.)
William Northumbria.
(He was so much more.)
William Northumbria.
(Why does she smell like a commercial for detergent?)
William Northumbria.
*William moved his arm away.*
William Northumbria.
I am perfectly fine, Rahina.
William Northumbria.
Merely... considering ducal affairs.
Kayna (William's Mother)
He's been very studious, dear.
Kayna (William's Mother)
Reading his history.
Kayna (William's Mother)
Perhaps he's found a new appreciation for lineage.
Kayna (William's Mother)
*Her gaze, a clear signal, fixed on Rahina.*
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
Oh, I'm sure!
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
History is so vital.
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
Speaking of which, William, the upcoming charity gala?
Rahina (William's ex-girlfriend)
For 'Preservation of Noble Heritage' – quite fitting, don't you think?
William Northumbria.
(Noble heritage?)
William Northumbria.
(I'm trying to figure out if I can just show up at his shop with a marching band. )
William Northumbria.
(This is not helping.)
William Northumbria.
I'm not sure.
William Northumbria.
My schedule is pretty busy...
William Northumbria.
With important duke things.
Arthur (William's friend)
Like staring at documents all day?
Arthur (William's friend)
*Arthur teased,*
William just grunted, grabbing a glass of water. His mind, however, was already miles away, replaying the unexpected scent of defiant, sweet, sharp 'omega.' He needed to make a better impression. This time, he'd be... clever. And less direct. Probably.
