“Huh? I only just ordered them today?” I tell him.
“Well, one of the supernatural court’s officer’s delivered them personally because the council hasn’t been able to get a hold of me.”
“Right. So why are they looking for you?” Marco sighs.
“What is it?” I ask him when I hear someone in the background talking.
“Who are you with?” I ask him.
“Soyer, I needed him to let me into the council chambers here, I didn’t have my keys. I was at the club across the road when the officer showed up to escort me back to the courts. I put your documents in your filing box for you.” Marco explains.
“Okay—what aren’t you telling me? Why are you being escorted?” I ask him just as Axton comes out, setting Kyan in his high chair, and Luke follows with Bane doing the same. Axton straps the boys in then comes over bumping me out of the way to take over.
“We are all under suspicion, I guess you and I will be next. But that is not all, the human governments might be getting involved with the entire strigoi situation,” Axton glances at me overhearing him and he gives me a questioning look.
“Wait, you’re under suspicion for being strigoi and me?” I ask him.
“No, no, that is a different matter.”
“I’m not following,” I tell him now, becoming confused.
“They want to interview me about your parents, with everything going on with your father they are wondering—”
“They think I killed my parents?” I ask gobsmacked they would think that.
“Yes, and they think I covered it up. I have to go but I’ll fill you in when I—” I hear the jiggling of keys and a door shut when Marco speaks again. “Why is Cane here?”
“What?” I hear Soyer ask in the background.
“Probably parked here and went to the club. I’ll find him so I can lock the gates. Go, I’ll find him and ask him to move his car.” I hear Soyer tell him.
“Right... Elena, your documents are in your filing box, I will let you know what is going when I know,”
“Fine, but stay in touch.” I tell him. We hang up and I turn to look at Axton.
“Marco will handle it. Don’t stress over it.” I nod my head, taking over dinner again. Axton wanders off while I set the pasta in the boiling water, he soon returns with his laptop and sits at the table and opens it.
Luke is playing his video game while the boys munch on their toast in their highchairs while waiting for me to finish cooking. “What are you working on?” I ask Axton.
“Payrolls,” he answers and I nod my head. Ten minutes later dinner is cooked and Axton pushes his laptop aside and gets up to help me set dinner out. Yet my mind is on those files, knowing they hold the answers I need so I barely remember dinner at all. Until Axton is clearing the table which makes me look up.
“Sorry,” I mutter knowing I zoned out.
“Come on, help me get the boys bathed so we can have an early night,” he tells me and I stand up. Luke is stacking the dishwasher and I move to grab Bane. His face covered in spaghetti sauce. I chuckle wiping his face with his bib before following Axton to the hall. Stopping, I peer back at Luke. “You ok?” I ask him and he looks over at me, dish in hand. He gives me a thumbs up and I nod watching as he turns back to his task.
The night seems to end in the same routine except now I am staring at the ceiling twiddling my thumbs bored.
“Why don’t you pick a movie to watch or something?” Axton suggests and I look over at him. He has spent the last few hours checking his laptop every five damn minutes.
“What are you waiting on?” I ask him.
“The notification for the quarterly taxes?”
“It’s nearly midnight. Check it in the morning,” I tell him.
“Supernatural courts don’t sleep. It’s twenty four hours. And Marco put an urgent request on it.” Axton says and I see him refresh his portal again. Shaking my head I lean over him to steal the remote when I hear his laptop make its notification jingle. Falling back against my pillow I start flicking through the many apps on the TV when he groans.
“What?”
