Chapter 152

"Sebastian, I brought you your lunch," Zoya said coming into my office.

"You didn't have to do that Zoya," I said getting up and taking the tray from her.

"Yes I did, I want to know why you have been avoiding Henry and me, for the four weeks?" She said sitting down on the couch in my office.

"Dear Zoya I have not been avoiding either of you. I have been busy with work and the event coming up. A lot of things had not been done while I was helping Quin.  There are bills overdue, packs who have not paid back loans. Not that I would have changed a thing, but I must get caught up and look after all my responsibilities." I told her, then had a drink of the coffee.

"I miss our conversation and time together," Zoya said. I was a bit taken back by what she said she should not be talking like this.

"Zoya that is enough, I will hear no more of this, where is Henry?" I asked.

"Where else having a nap. Take a break and walk with me in the garden," Zoya said.

"ENOUGH, Zoya, leave my office now, I think it is time you and Henry found your own place to live." I said angrily. I would have to tell Heney it was time to go he and Zoya need to have their own home now that thinks had changed. I now could not concentrate on my work so I called Sasha to open a door for me to visit for tea if she was not to busy.

"I'm never to busy for my children’s god father," Sasha said. The door appeared and I went through. I was in the sitting room, Sasha was sitting curled up in a chair with a book.

"Tea will be here soon, sounds like you need someone to talk to." She said putting her book down.

"How perceptive you are my dear Sasha," I said. I did not know where to begin. I sat with my head in my hands.

"May I speak freely, with you Sebastian?" Sasha asked. I thought it strange she had asked.

"Yes, always. You are my friend not just another person under my rule." I said.

"Under you rule, you must be working very hard to catch up, I have never considered being under your rule but now that you have said it, I see that it is the truth and I should respect you as my King before my friend." Sasha said smiling.

"Sasha I never meant it like that," I told her.

"I know but it is the truth. We have all become so close that we have lost sight of the lines we have crossed. But let's not talk about that right now. I have seen this coming for a long time now; I'm surprised it has not happened sooner. Ah our tea is here." She said getting up and taking the tea cart from the servant then closing the doors to the sitting room. Sasha filled a plate with food for me then poured us both tea. After giving me my tea and plate she sat back down curled up in her chair.

"Thank you, I did not have lunch." I told her.

"So tell me how inappropriate Grandmother is being?" She asked.

"I have been busy getting things back in order and preparing for the event." I told her.

"So you are also avoiding Grandmother and Grandfather." Sasha said.

"Today she brings me lunch and tells me she misses our conversations and time together. Then asks me to go for a walk with her in the garden. I threw her out of my office. But then I could not concentrate so I calked you. I'm at a lose what to do." I told putting down my plate. I had list my appetite.

"Well Sebastian you're not going to like this but you are partially at fault for this as well. When we got Grandmother away from Barton  you were the one who cared for her, had her room next to yours. You spent all your free time with her. You knew my Grandfather was alive, she did not. She became dependent on you, and you took her to your home and did not tell her about Grandfather here for how long. Do you see what I'm saying?" Sasha asked. Everything she said was true.

"But I did it because her and Henry were my closest friends. I failed in saving her all those years ago. You're Grandfather almost died the pack was destroyed because I was to late getting there." I told her.

"So you did it out of guilt, to make who feel better? I'm not trying to give you a hard time I just want you to see it from all prospectives." Sasha said.

"You are right, I think the best thing for me to do is have them find a home somewhere so they can get back on track. I care for them both they are still like family to me, but it is time now that everything has calmed down that they have their own place." I told Sasha.

"That would be a good idea, they should be here, but I feel suffocated by how many are here now, Lucas and Morgan are our Beta's they have six children now. Quin and I have eight children. Nole and Bre are expecting their first pups. This sitting room has now been off limits to everyone, so I can have peace for even just one hour a day.  Our oldest four will start college hopefully. But you see I'm in a dilemma because this was my grandparent’s home, if they decide to come here I have no right to say no." Sasha said I could hear the frustration in her voice.

"I see what you are saying. If I can get Henry and Zoya to move to a comfortable cottage then I have no objections in having Nole and Bre move to my castle. I just can't have Zoya thinking their is more between us then just friends." I told her.

"When is your event?" Sasha asked.

"In a couple of weeks then I need to travel with my ministers to check on the Lycan packs. It is well overdue that I visited and checked on the conditions, of the packs." I said.

"So you tell my grandparents that before you have the event that you will need them to go and live somewhere else. We both know that most Lycan's believe they are superior to all werewolves. My grandparents being in the castle could cause some ill feelings that should be avoided. We don't need a war between Lycan's and werewolves. It would cause destruction of many packs on both sides." Sasha said with a sadness in her voice.
