Chapter 11
Opening his study door Saetan noticed the anguished look on Valyn's face. "What are you worried about? It can't be the way Harmony is acting."
Nodding his head Valyn sighed. "It is the way she is acting that has me worried. I don't know what I did."
"If I'm guessing right the problem isn't with you." Getting a blank stare from Valyn he continued. "Every time she goes hunting or goes training she comes home starving and this is how she acts every time. Let her fill her stomach and then go to her and she will be all smiles again."
"Thank you Saetan. I was worried that I did something to offend her."
"While you're staying here you will do many things that will offend somebody in this house. When you do make sure you have an apology ready or get a head start. Now the only problem I see left is your dinner attire. I have a suit that would fit you well and then we can get something to eat. You change into that and I'll try to get our little witch to come to dinner"
Sitting on the garden wall she wanted to cry. She saw the hurt in his eyes. She had hurt him. Wiping a tear from her face she almost fell off the wall when a deep voice began to comfort her.
"There is no need to cry little one; Valyn is fine and properly dressed for dinner now."
"Grandpa, I don't know why I snapped at him. I wasn't even mad at him."
"I know something that will cure every thing." Opening his arms wide Saetan was toppled off the wall with Harmony on top of him. "What do you say? Lets go get you into a dress that will make your father faint and go eat with the rest of the family."
"I think I have the perfect dress." Linking arms with Saetan Harmony thought that life couldn't get any better.
"I'm very glad that you decided to change your clothes before coming to dinner Valyn."
Looking down at himself Valyn couldn't believe how well he looked in a suit. Saetan made his hair look wind blown and devilish, he had a white silk shirt with laces at top. The laces were untied to show a little bit of his bronze chest. The perfectly tailored jacket and pants felt like they were made for him and curved just right to only hint at what was under them. He had made a few jaws drop when he had entered.
"Did Saetan say if he would be coming back?"
"He is coming back. He said that back as soon as he got our little witch to come to dinner."
"I don't see why we have to wait for him."
"Don't grumble Lucivar. Papa will be back when he gets back. Live with it." Her words summoning him Saetan opened the door and all heads turned.
"What in the name of hell are you wearing young lady?"
"Grandpa said that I could wear it." The dress wasn't all that bad, it did show a bit more cleavage than necessary and was cut a little to tight just to be going to dinner but she liked it. "It's not my fault you're to old to appreciate a good dress."
"It seems that this is going to get interesting."
"Daemonar shut up or I'll miss every thing."
"Yes father."
"If that is what you call a good dress then I would hate to see what you think is a bad one."
"Your pushing it bastard." Noticing the look in Harmony had in her eyes Lucivar tried to get his brother to calm down.
"How dare you question my judgment. You have no right to tell me what I can and can't wear."
"I have all the right in the world; I'm your father."
"Not any more. Sorry grandpa, I have to go."
Daemon's jaw dropped when she slammed the door in his face.
" You have pushed our daughter to far Daemon." Getting up from the table Jaenelle started to follow her daughter. "Let's just hope you didn't push her away forever."
Pushing his chair back quietly Daemon started to walk toward the door that led outside.
Sighing Saetan knew this would be a long night. "I'm guessing that no one feels like eating at the moment so I suggest we all go to the drawing room and find as many brandy bottles as we can."
Slowly everyone got up to leave the room. Lucivar hung back and waited for everyone to leave. "What do you think will happen father?"
"I have no idea. I only hope that I am drunk off my ass when it does happen. Lucivar will you go and keep an eye on your brother without him seeing you? We don't want him to do anything crazy."
"I'd love to follow a madman into the darkness sounds like fun." Sneering Lucivar took flight out the nearest window. "It's not like I have a life or any thing like that."
Opening his study door Saetan noticed the anguished look on Valyn's face. "What are you worried about? It can't be the way Harmony is acting."
