边做饭边被躁bd

I consciously looked around and luckily, no one had turned their heads in our direction. We were in one corner of the room. Suzan waved her hand at Sam as if asking him to shut up and went back to Arina, "Do you have any? Of course, you would have some."

Arina played with her hair as she passed an awkward look to Sam before answering in a low voice, "Y-Yea."

"Great, lend them all to Selene," Suzan said, and my lips set themselves into a thin line. This was already so uncomfortable for me to ask from Suzan about the meaning yesterday and today it had turned out to be a huge topic. Suzan placed her hand on my shoulder and spoke sternly, as if lecturing me, "What will you do when you find your soulmate? You are already past the age where you learn all this. Selene, you should learn fast and be the best in bed. Your soulmate should worship you-"

Sam cupped Suzan\'s mouth this time and dragged her away from there as she incoherently mumbled something. "Alright, Arina will lend the books. Now let\'s go, we have work to do," Sam said to Suzan as he took her further away from me and Arina.

"Okay, let\'s get to work," I said and Arina nodded as we headed to the table that was set up.

It took hours to register everyone and their abilities. It would be a hassle to sort things out later, but Arina and Sam had been at it together. They looked like a happy couple and I could tell the bond between them had tightened.

I did not want to pry into their personal life asking had they sealed the bond or not, but I already knew they were going to be announced as couples tomorrow and I was happy for them. Arina occasionally giggled with Sam and there was no doubt that they would turn out to be forever. After all, they were soulmates. Probably I was more excited about them being announced as couples tomorrow than them. 

When we were done, I left the gym after waving a bye to everyone and giving them the duty to clean up. 

I had already called Channing, and he asked me to meet near the elders\' headquarters, as he was still in the building. When I went towards the entrance, the guard opened the door for me as if Channing had already instructed them of my arrival. 

The garden was giving a different scent than when I had visited here last. I walked through and saw Channing wasn\'t there in the main lobby.

I decided to approach the receptionist, "Mrs Shagen, good to see you again."

The lady looked up with her bored and irritated eyes from over her specs until she saw me and her expressions relaxed, "Isn\'t it Selene, Congratulations."

"Thank you," I gave her a polite smile. There was no need for flattery, as last time since I was already proclaimed the Beta of Winterwells. "Have you seen Alpha Channing around?" I asked, remembering to refer to him as Alpha. It was tough for sudden change, but necessary. 

Shagen looked to her left, "He is waiting in the cafeteria."

"Okay, I\'ll see you later than," I said as I turned in the cafeteria\'s direction and the sound of her keyboard clicking started to fill the silent lobby again. What did that woman even write all the time? 

Inside the cafeteria, and spotted Channing there, talking with a huge man. 

On seeing me, Channing waved his hand and the man who had his back faced to me did not bother to turn as and see who it was. I walked to them till I could see the man and I immediately recognised him. The last time I was sitting here doing the paperwork, I had bumped into him. Channing was quick to introduce the man, "Selene, meet my father, Henry Collins."

I smiled at him and stretched my hand ahead, "Hello Mr Collins, nice to meet you again."

Mr Collins graciously took my hand and shook it, his grip firm and strong. The man really looked like a beast with his overly muscular body and I had seen his towering height previously. "Best of luck for your term as the new Beta here."

"Thank you," I said, smiling politely. 

Channing got up from his chair and patted the side of my shoulder, "You sit here and chat with him for a while. I will check the marking is ready or not."

"Okay," I replied, and took a seat in front of his father. This man had mentioned to me last time that he was the previous Alpha and I had missed to connect the dots into knowing that he must be Channing\'s father. I smiled at him, being careful as he was one of the elders of Winterwells, "I missed out that you must have been Alpha Channing\'s father when we last met."

Mr Collins looked at me casually, "Is that so? I am his adoptive father, after all. We don\'t look any similar."

"I wouldn\'t say that," I replied, "Both of you have blonde hair, huge muscular body, there are some similarities." I did not know how it was going to go, but somewhere I felt like I should be treading carefully with this man. He already knew about me and I did not know how much he knew. 

"Let\'s cut the chase, shall we, Selene," Mr Collin said, resting his hand on the table while interlacing his huge fingers. "This room is under surveillance, so I want you to speak some truth."

What was he trying to do? It looked like he warned me about the fact that we being under watch and there were some questions that would be coming from him. I just hoped he directly did not point out about what he knew of my secrets or I would be in trouble. He had mentioned last time that he had burned the documents of my origin, so I hoped he did not reveal it all out now and only talked about the room was under surveillance, so I was cautious with my replies.
