Chapter 79 - Insatiable- Part 1 (1/2)

Once I called up Ruka to tell him about the note, he came home immediately with Leo, Louis, and Vernon, who I met at the cave. They searched the house for the scent of the person who broke inside the house but found nothing. Ruka had a frown on his face as they inspected every nook and corner of the house.

”Louis,” Ruka called and Louis was in front of him in a second, ”Go to Lark's mansion now and let her know we'll be visiting her this week. It might just be a note but I don't want to take any chances. ”

”You could send us, your highness,” Leo suggested for the job.

”I would have sent you or Vernon but Lady Lark doesn't trust anyone on her property than the royal family, Leo” Ruka explained, ”Leo check how the pack drill is going on, Vernon you can carry on with your duties, Sebastian will take in charge.”

”I'll leave then,” Louis nodded and left.

”Ah-your highness,” Leo said when Louis and Vernon left the place. Ruka turned to him with an eyebrow raised in question, ”Your nephew has been causing trouble again. He dumped a bucket of vegetable soup on one of the general during the pack exercises which led to other unnecessary events.”

For a second there I forgot who Ruka's nephew was because Aiden rarely called him uncle Ruka. Once a general had found the ground empty as Aiden had sent all the pups home telling the day was off.

”I'll speak to Aiden about it. You can leave now, Leo,” he said dismissing Leo, who gave a light bow before exiting the door.

”Is everything alright?” My father asked worriedly. I was about to talk when Ruka spoke before I could reply.

”Yes, Christopher everything is fine. Eve felt someone broke into the house but it seems nothing was stolen,” he smiled reassuringly.

”Good good,” my dad nodded with a sigh.

”This is why I say we shouldn't open the windows,” my mom shook her head looking at dad.

”You don't want to open the windows because of the dust. It's not like this place is going to turn into a desert,” my dad countered looking at mom who was standing beside Ruka.

”Of course it will! I'm the one cleaning the house,” she said huffing playfully at dad.

”I can send few maids if you need anytime,” Ruka offered politely and I knew he wasn't joking.

”I have such a sweet son-in-law, that's alright dear,” she said patting his back and then seemed to realize something, ”I left the pot to heat!” and she ran to the kitchen.

”I'll go help mom,” I announced and heard dad ask Ruka for a drink in the hall.

I hoped he didn't drink too much, not Ruka but dad. When dad drank alcohol, the love he had for us would multiply and would overflow. That was one of the reasons why he avoided it may be he liked Ruka more than what I thought. Mom adored him and made her special cookies just for him. I couldn't complain he was the perfect doting son-in-law.

Going inside the kitchen, I saw my mother cutting fruits. She already had prepared so many things for us even after I told her not to sand now she was making a dessert I believe.
