The Abused Luna's Comeback Novel - Chapter 81

Chapter 81 The Dead Maid

(Ad’s P.O.V.)

I woke up when my morning alarm went off. I washed up while Jane continued to sleep soundly in bed. I kissed her on the forehead and closed the bedroom door.

I continued the daily training despite Alpha’s and Patrick’s absence. They were only two people who weren’t training with us but the lack of the usual banter with Patrick really made the atmosphere feel emptier.

Today’s training was intense regardless since we needed to keep our bodies strong for any situation. When I finished my training, I let my wolf Barnes out for a while.

By the time I got back, I was already hungry. I had planned to eat breakfast before going upstairs to take a shower. When I walked into the dining room, the perfect aroma of food made my mouth water. I saw fresh waffles on the table, decorated with honey syrup, bacon, and ham.

I gulped them down without hesitation. Today’s waffles had two layers, which was not something Mrs. Daisy did. But for God’s sake, I hope she made it this way more often because today’s waffles were perfect with the ham.

I was savoring the deliciousness when I saw Luna carrying another waffle out of the kitchen. She saw me and gave me a smile.

“Good Morning, Ad.”

“Good morning, Luna.”

“How’s the waffle?”

“This is the best waffle I’ve ever eaten. But why are you coming out of the kitchen?”

“I was making waffles with Mrs. Daisy since we combined our recipes. Thanks for your feedback!”

“It’s perfect!”

I spoke the truth from the bottom of my heart. Luna laughed, but I immediately realized the problem.

“Luna, you’ve been working in the kitchen just now? Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I hope you won’t do this again in the future.”

“Why?”

“Because I promised Alpha that I would ensure your safety. If you burn yourself or cut your hand, I won’t know how to face him when he returns. And as Luna, you don’t have to worry about these things. Just let someone else do it.”

“Ad, cooking is one of the things I love doing. Plus I’m pretty good at it. I’ve never hurt myself in New Moon Pack’skitchen, so don’t worry, I don’t plan on getting hurt here. And I’ll make sure your Alpha will not make things difficult for you.”

I felt a little helpless, but I couldn’t find a better reason to convince her. In the end, all I could say was to be careful before instructing the other Omega servants to assist her.

Then, Jane and Aunt Taylor walked in. When they started eating breakfast, they were equally amazed by the waffles today. I had never seen Jane eat so many waffles for breakfast. Luna sat down to eat too and was pleased to hear their feedback. She hoped Alpha would return soon so she could make him some.

When we were done feasting, we went our separate ways. I told Luna to stay in the castle and try not to go out. I was sure Alpha had warned her similarly before he left for his trip. Then, I went back to my room, took a shower, and went to my office to attend to some business.

By the time I returned to my bedroom, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening. As soon as I walked in, I saw the leftover afternoon tea in the common area of the room. A tea party must have happened but no one had cleaned up the mess.

Jane walked in and said that she had just taken a walk with Rose by the fountain behind the castle after their tea party but had made sure to tell Christie to clean up the dishes an hour ago.

My mysophobia kicked in and I immediately called Simon, the head of logistics at the castle. He said that it was indeed Christie who was on duty today, but that he had not seen her all afternoon. He quickly told me that he would locate her immediately to tidy up.

By the time I came out of the shower, the dishes were still there.

“Christie hasn’t come yet?”

“Babe, I know right? I’ve always felt that she was a lazy person.”

I frowned and was about to call Simon again, but my phone rang. It was Simon.

“Simon, I was just about to call you. Christie hasn’t taken the dishes away yet. Where is she?”

As I waited for a response, I heard as the person on the other end of the phone breathe heavily. When he spoke, his voice had a hint of fear.

“Gamma, we found Christie in her room. She’s dead.”

“What?” I couldn’t believe my ears.

“Gamma, will you please come take a look? Her death seems a little strange. She has left something behind that seems related to Luna.”
