Mason.I scooted in the direction of Kai's voice, covering my hand on my bulge and walked in awkward steps.“Kai?" I hurried to get a hold of him as he kept rubbing his eyes with his little hands, “How are you feeling, Kai?" I grunted, writhing his hair backwards. "I'm fine, Papa. I saw the other Papa in my dreams. I thought I would not see you again when I woke up and this is not our house, Papa.""Kai, don't worry we are safe. This is Uncle Andrew's temporary apartment, we will be heading back home soon.""Papa, Are you alright? You seem to be sweating a lot.""Papa had some warm-up before heading to the kitchen. I need to keep fit to take care of you,” l lied through gritted teeth."Papa…”"Hold on a minute Kai,” I try to think clearly now, “Did you say you saw another Papa in your dreams? Who could it be? Do you remember who you saw? I thought I was your only Papa?"He laughs, clapping his hands, “Papa that saved me from the swimming pool.""How can you address him like that? I'm
Mason.Mr Roosevelt and l have spoken on the phone a few times about business here and there. I thought he would be a middle-aged man with a moustache but he turned out to be a young fairy goddess walking in a male form. He is beautiful.My father gave a sign for them to take a seat. Leo sat opposite me while Roosevelt sat beside him. I barely could look in Leo's direction for some unknown reason.Can l just ask him if he came to the hospital and if Kai by any chance saw him? What if he thinks of me as a nuisance or someone that asks the irrelevant random question with no proof at all and besides they look so good together?I wonder if they are married or maybe they are still in the closet as they don't have a ring on their significant finger. I'm such an idiot.I have been so quiet for so long that I should say something, at least apologise to Leo again for the accident that occurred last time. "Welcome, Mr Roosevelt. It is a pleasure to finally meet you.” I send my hand forward my h
Mason."Gentlemen, I think the game is about to start. Shall we?” My father said, getting on his feet.I stood up reluctantly, still placing my hands on the table. My father walked away and Roosevelt joined him immediately.My mind hitched to stop Leo for an unknown reason. I don't know why, maybe to probably apologise since he did not accept my apology conceivably.But what if he just downright turns me down? That would mean I'm just shameless and whatever my father said about me was true.I quietly joined them and walked behind Leo. The ground was the only place my eyes could rest and I shuffled mindlessly.Thankfully I paused on my steps in time because I almost bumped into Leo. I didn't realise he had stopped walking."Are you alright?” Leo said, hurling his body around to face me. " I'm okay? Why did you ask?” I snorted timidly."Is everything alright there Leo?” Roosevelt shrieked."Will join you soon,” Leo retorted.I wondered if l was intruding. Are they on a date or something
Mason.The centrepiece had a wooded lot with all numbers on it. I sat alone on the two-seater couch. Leo and Roosevelt sat in the next two-seater by the right side.My father didn't come with us which meant he would be watching from afar. I sat nervously and crossed my legs together.I felt heat erupt from my body as it did when my father talked down to me earlier. I don't know why my father wants me to bid for this malignant weapon, he didn't even tell me a specific amount to deal off on.I let my eyes drift slowly in Leo's direction. He seemed so unbothered. I didn't miss when Roosevelt flicked some stray hair off Leo's face.Is Roosevelt so insecure that he thinks if he doesn't touch Leo for a minute someone would steal Leo away from him?Tch, I'm sure my father will soon notice them. They are the type he hates the most, gay people.The faint light went dimmer, the door by the side clicked open and an uncountable number of people came inside. I barely recognised a few of them.Mr V
Leo.The light on the stage wholly went off and a brighter light lit up the entire room.The murmurs and chatting increased in the room. I glance randomly at how the humans flocked around Mason and how uncomfortable he felt. He was nudging uneasily on his seat as he was surrounded.I chuckled at his nervous polite face, he is so easy to read."Shall we go back, Alpha?" Roosevelt said.I know I had no intention of leaving in a hurry. Well, at least until Mason leaves first.I didn't say a word to Roosevelt and kept gazing at Mason. I'm worried about him. I wish he didn't have to buy the landmines. From what I have seen today I wish he could defend himself more often.Although his relationship with his father is quite an eye-sore, I don't believe any father will hate his offspring. He is the one to love Mason before anyone else, l don't understand what their issue is and I hope they settle it before they punch each other in the face.It is wrong to go against an Elder, l didn't miss his
Mason.I tossed the bidding lot to the table gasping for breath.I won! But that won't make my father look at me any different. Although the bidding went rather too easy now that I think about it.Leo obviously gave up because Roosevelt asked him to. The dark murky gang didn't talk much like they had other ulterior motives, did l win too easily or on purpose?I let out a sharp breath apprehensively, l feel so uneasy.As if the bidders didn't bid much, as if l was the one putting up a show.My eyes picked up on Mr Vinci, “Hi, Mr Vinci,” l greeted, not getting up from my seat."Congratulations on getting that, you did well,” He praised me calmly and walked out. l bowed slightly and respectfully to his nice words.Phew!Ruby, the daughter of A.E Automobiles walked up to my seat with two other unknown girls and sat on my seat."Long time no see, Mason,” Ruby greeted me."Yeah, quite a long time,” I retorted awkwardly."I didn't expect to see you here. Well, I guess both our fathers have a
Mason."I didn't call you here to bargain with you though. I only want to inform you I will forward double of the money to your account, don't worry.”"What do you mean, Father? You asked if l was a joke. But you are clearly the one taking me for a joke. You made me spend hours debating on that, just so l could buy it and then you take it and sell it to the so-called real buyer? You are even more ridiculous than l am."“Now I'm questioning myself yet again how on earth l have you as a son. You don't know the term business at all and l fear for you, just go back home. I think l have made myself clear enough.”"I'm sorry to disappoint you again, but I won't sell it back to you. l have my own plans with it.""You don't have a choice, Mason. Run back home like a mother to your child.""I can be anything I want as long as my child is happy with me. It's totally worth it and for this, I'm going to take the landmines home with me.""You won't dare do that, the warehouse is mine and I alone ca
Mason.I placed the access card on the door frequency lawn and stepped inside, the living room was empty.I kept the first aid box on the centrepiece and my eyes landed on Andrew's cellphone and a remote beside it.I picked it up and tapped on it and I realised it was only my missed calls he had on his screen. My eyes quickly rested on the door as it beeped open at that moment."Hi,” Andrew boomed, he was dressed casually in a fitted white t-shirt and blue jeans which complemented his branded black slides. He had a jet-coloured suitcase in his right hand. “Hi,” I replied and quickly dropped his phone back on the table in a flash."What happened to your hand?” He asked worriedly, throwing the suitcase that seemed light onto the sofa."It's nothing, where have you been?" I taunted, making my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water."Stepped out to get extra luggage. Stayed only for two days and it seemed like my clothes didn't fit, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.""You don't have
Leo.“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
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, tak
Leo.“What is going on here,” I ask Auden, who is trying to separate Zena from a fight with one of the oldest elders.The pack is in total chaos.I haven't been in the Pack for only one night and everything has turned upside down. It took me more than an hour to get into the Packhouse because there was a protest going on just outside the gate. The guards are doing everything to keep the place safe and let them have peaceful protests.Zena is still yelling at the elder oblivious to my presence or my thoughts.“That's enough,” I cut them short, the room going silent. Zena shakes Auden's hands off her as she walks towards me, I could see my mother sitting with her hand over her face, frustrated from the situation.“Where have you been,” Zena is angry and her tone is not friendly, “When there is a literal chaos going on in the Pack you are always unavailable. Sometimes I wonder if you are Alpha enough to protect this Pack because this is all your fault.”“Zena!” I growl at her, warning he
Leo.“The bedroom, Leo,” Mason says into our kisses, his hands around my neck, his legs immediately swinging around my waist as I jerk him up. I don't stop kissing him as I take him upstairs.Soon I'm letting his back rest against the bed, settling in between his spreaded legs.“I'm taking this off.”“Yes, please.”I break our kiss, meeting his eyes. Amir purrs in my head at the fire and lust in Mason’s eyes, our mate. I pull his t-shirt over his head, swallowing greedily as my eyes wander on his body.“Holy mother, baby,” I whispered, salivating as my fingers began to trail on his soft skin, “You are so beautiful… You are so perfect. ““Leo…” “I want to see more,” I immediately pulled his pyjama pants out, leaving him naked and spread out under me, “You have no idea how perfect you are for me.”“Stop staring, Leo,” He whines, covering his face with his hands. I chuckled, unbuttoning my own shirt, slowly until his attention was back on me. I tease him before shrugging off my shirt.I
Mason.I woke up with a pounding headache, my vision still hazy with sleep. I snuggle into the soft pillow, groaning tiredly. Small shards of my memories coming to me, I blink my eyes open and the clock by the bedside tell me it's noon.I sat up immediately, wincing at how heavy my head felt. I rub my eyes with my fingers, my mind blank and well rested. I look around my bedroom, I'm alone… A sharp pain pierced through my forehead and an image of Leo came to my head.What did I do yesterday?Was Leo with me yesterday?Wait… didn't I go to the club yesterday?Kai…? I slid out of bed immediately, grimacing from an intense headache but I slowly made my way downstairs, rubbing my eyes to get rid of the itchiness.“You are finally awake, Mason.”I stop in my tracks at the familiar voice, my heart beating fast within my rib cage. I stare wide-eyed at Leo, “I wasn't dreaming?”He raised an eyebrow at me, and then looked away, frowning.He is wearing a white shirt with an apron over it, his le
Leo.I'm about to dispose of the wet towel when Mason grabs my wrists, “Leo, don't go please.” His eyes are closed and his face is morphing into sadness, like he is about to cry.“I'm here, I'm not going anyway.”Tears fell down the side of his face as he held me tighter, “Why can't you just touch me? Leo please touch me and take this feeling away, I'm hurting so much.”I settled down beside him, taking his hand into mine as I released a possessive aura, marking a territory with Mason inside. Making him feel my presence even though he can't see me, making him feel my touch but not with my hands. I lean forward to his scent gland, to the sweet spot on his neck and scent him, sniffing and licking him.I'm ashamed because I don't know if that will work on him as he isn't a wolf but I'm trying my possible best to keep him calm. To keep myself calm. My rut is fast approaching and being close to my horny mate is the last thing an Alpha like me should do.What if it suddenly happens and I ca
Leo.“The High Priestess will come out of her seclusion in two days. It's been two years of her absence, the elders are celebrating her return on the second day of the Blood Moon Festival. Here,” Auden spread a small old map in front of me, “This is where the hunting will take place.”“When will it take place,” I skimmed through the map. I'm here in the office even though it's getting late. I'm foreseeing every preparation for the festival, there is a lot to do.“On the third day until the fifth day, that is until the last day,” Auden explains, his tone in a serious work mode.It is easy this way, both of us are pretending that the discussion the other day never happened. Avoiding a ghost in the room is better than approaching it.That can ruin our friendship and we should move past that. Auden is my closest friend, he knows literally everything about me and it is mutual. He is my beta and he has an aura and power
Mason.“Where are you going?” Jason asks me, stomping his unfinished cigarette under his shoe.“Clubbing,” I tell him the obvious. Tonight I'm dressed extra. I wore my black leather pants with white puffy sleeve shirt, it's made of silk and it fits my body perfectly. I button down letting my chest show, my nipple buds are hard against it.I wore dangling diamond earrings that I haven't worn in a long while, my hair beautifully styled and I used a good amount of cologne. Since tonight is Andrew’s post birthday celebration, he sends the location of a private coterie. It's an expensive bustling hub in the middle of the city.I took my time to look extra attractive tonight, I'm clubbing as a free and happy man. Kai is with his nanny doing his homework, she will put him to sleep afterwards.“Leo never mentioned to me about you clubbing at night. Isn't that risky?”“Well, I don't care about what Leo thinks. I'm going out and you have a choice. Either you drive me there or you give me the ca
Mason.“You didn't have to come here,” David snorted, sulking and rolling his eyes.I quietly drop the things I bought for him on the cabinet, pulling out a chair to sit beside him. Kai runs to him, climbing the hospital bed to straddle him, “Uncle.”He coos at Kai, cupping his cheeks, “My baby, I missed you so much. I'm sorry that you were hurt and Uncle couldn't help you, I'm so happy to see you well.”“Uncle,” Kai squeals, laughing as David begins to tingle him all over. I smile gladly, watching the scene.When they finally settle, David speaks to me again, “You didn't have to come here, Mason. I thought you might have returned to Bavaria City or that fuckface should be able to keep you safe. It's dangerous out here.”“Don’t curse David and Leo is not a fuckface.”“Whatever.”“How are you doing?” I ask him.“I'm not dead, the doctor says thankfully my intestines are safe, it wasn't that deep so I'm okay and recovering,” He shrugs tiredly, “I'm used to getting stabbed.”“It's nothin
