12 Hours Earlier.
Andrew.“Why did you send for me?” Auden rolls his eyes as he steps into my apartment.I had invited him over after I left the club. I need to take the next step for my plan.“Can't I invite an old friend for a drink?”“I'm not your friend, Andrew. If I remember very well you hated my guts, let's not pretend.”I chuckle embarrassingly, “You need to calm down, it's not that serious. At least now we are friends aren't we? And we are working together now.”“I'm not working with you. Even though I responded to your call, I made sure Mason left Alpha Leo’s house and I also gave you the secret paperworks of the mercenaries' consumers. It doesn't mean I work for you, you can't just disappear many years ago and appear again acting like the messiah.”“Don't be difficult, let's have a drink. This is the best on the shelf,” I pour him a glass of Macallan whisky, takLeo.“Alpha, you are here,” Auden said excitedly, stepping into my office. I nodded, swirling my biro between my fingers as my eyes fixed on the paperwork I was trying to get out of the way.“I made your favourite tea,” He slid the teacup towards me, “Take a break and drink something. Everything is settled now.”“It's settled now but chaos will begin later,” I rub my forehead with my fingers tiredly. I took the cup of tea and placed it on my lips as I sipped on it, enjoying the warm and smooth taste.It's already late and I'm in no way close to finishing this. I'm worried Mason might have waited for us to have dinner together with Kai and I couldn't show up.Immediately I'm done with this I'm running back to my mate.“So…” Auden clears his throat, gaining my attention, “You know you will never be alone, right? Even if a thousand chaos begins in the world I will gladly lay down my life for you.”My eyebrow raised at his sudden confession, “What is going on?”He shrugs, taking a seat at
Leo"Excuse me Alpha, this letter was addressed to you."Beta Richard handed over a faded white envelope tied in a red ribbon to me. l closed the ledger in my other hand and glanced thoroughly as l unfolded and read its content. Mr Alien Noah the founder of Mason's corporation invited us to his 49th Birthday celebration.Tsk."Throw it away on your way out."" Yes, Alpha," l passed it back to him and continued with working on the pack's daily activities, l didn't bother raising my head up when a familiar voice walked into my office."What is that about Leo?""Nothing important, l don't see why humans are very sentimental and are bent on celebrating their birthdays every year and throwing unnecessary parties," l answered her, still fixing my eyes on the papers in front of me.It went eerily silent as if l was talking to myself. l lifted my head up to gaze at Delta Zena, my younger sister reading the content of the letter. Her black wavy long hair fell beautifully on both sides of her fa
Mason."Thank you," l said to Rhoda, my secretary as she put a cup of coffee in my front. I’ve barely been on the laptop for a few hours yet I'm already feeling drowsy and dizzy.After standing for hours for the New Serum Promotion my body ached badly, l spent a lot of time as l had to do it over and over again. The ringing sound of the telephone snapped my attention, causing me to place back my coffee cup to its saucer."Mason?” A familiar sonorous voice came from the other end."Father?” l murmured in a low voice."The venue and her picture are being sent to your email, have set up a date for both of you. She is very important, she is the second daughter of the former prime minister, and it will be a good thing if you can get her on our side,” My father says firmly, concluding everything even though it was without my consent."l understand Father."“Also have your media personnel fired, you don't look that good on the latest news. You can't be looking like the world is against you, a
Mason.Kai is a very lively yet calm kid. l smile happily at how he tittered out excitedly over us spending time together, we don't get to do this all time. l would be happy too if my Father ever wants to spend time with me like this.We got to the City's biggest mall in a few minutes and l waited patiently for Kai to unbuckle his seatbelt."You can wait in the car, David.""No sir, l can't do that.""I'm not asking you to, I'm telling you."" I'm only doing my job, Sir.""How long have you known me for, David?"" 10 years Sir.”“And you should know l hate going around with you and four more trailing at my back like l committed murder? Like I'm the most wanted criminal alive in the city. Look, I'm not going for an official gathering, l want to spend time with my Son?" I expressed, rolling my eyes annoyingly.David is my longest bodyguard, he is also my driver, maybe because my father assigned him to me personally when l was 16 years old."Let's go, Kai.”"You know I would always give y
Leo.I put both my hands in my pocket as l went on my heels. Zena and My mother were already walking toward the main entrance."Mother?”"Oh, my baby?" She bellowed, pulling me in for a warm hug."Have missed you so much, Son.""We merely saw each other some days ago, Mother.”"It doesn't matter, I always want to be with you," She says, caressing my face like she needs to be sure that I'm okay. It had been years since Mother moved away from the Packhouse yet she visits the Pack as Mother Luna a few days a week.Zena yawned rudely and made her way inside the house. "Let's reserve hugs and pleasantries for later, I'm hungry.""Zena you should learn to behave yourself, you're a woman for goodness sake.”"Save your scolding for later, Mother. Let's eat,” Zena replied back, drawing a chair out to take her seat."Come this way Mother, l made your favourite dishes.""Oh my, Leo my son. Oh you have done so much, l hope your sister learns from you. She stays with you everyday but I haven't see
Mason.I kept gazing at the mirror with much patience and toleration. l closed my eyes tight and took a deep breath trying not to get frustrated or get overwhelmed by the situation, which is what my father does on a normal day.I shouldn't be surprised yet it has me fuming angrily, l switched on the faucet and splashed some water on my face to ease my mind.If l didn't receive a call back there would Andrew have gone ahead with it? We have met a few times and it wouldn't kill me if I just have sex with him. Wouldn't it be too sudden? Maybe it's his way of expressing his love and feeling to his other half but he hasn't told me he likes me either. And if l don't try it or do what he wants l wouldn't know.I'm really tired of having to try like this, maybe if I confront him about it he might tell me how he feels about me. But what is the point?I haven't been home for years and staying there for four days wouldn't kill me, so I took myself back to the lounge.“Hey?" I chirped at Andrew, s
Mason.“This way Young Master."l nodded in agreement even though I didn't recognise their faces but I already knew they were sent by my Father as they called me by my home name. l held Kai's hand and helped him get his feet down, "Let's go, Kai.”l hurried as fast as my legs could go, with Kai keeping up with me. The warm sun hit my skin as we walked to the plane, l smiled at my favourite Mason's Dassault falcon 2000. The very private jet that has a compatible luxury size and can go in an intercontinental range of 3,130miles."Kai, let me help you,” I held him up in my arms and went up the stairs.“Kai sit with me okay?” I chuckled as he smiled at me, l began to fix him up comfortably and extreme safety caution.“Do you want anything to eat Kai?"“No, Papa.""Sir, I can take care of Kai. In case you have anything to work on, it might be uncomfortable and distracting for you.""No, not all,” l smiled at Rachel, “Take it like it is a little vacation for me and Kai. l will take care of h
Leo.I stood in front of the mirror confidently smirking at how good l looked.I finished with the last button before a knock came on the door and l already knew it was Zena."You look so good brother, now let's see who'd be the one to get attention,” She said, gazing at me with glamour in her eyes.“I don't wish to seek attention in the human world. They have nothing on me and it doesn't really matter because they don't exist to me as much as l don't exist to them.”"Whatever you say, Alpha Leo. The car is ready, we should start going."I glanced at the mirror again before making my way out of the room and headed to the latest Bentley Bentayga AWD l bought for me myself in the early days of the new year.“I will drive,” My Beta, Auden said, getting into the driver's seat."You look so good, Leo. I'm jealous of going with you now, you deserve all the spotlight,” Zena praised, staring at me like we don't stay under the same roof together all the time.“Are you just seeing me for the fir
