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.We drove into the Pack's driveway. I got down and threw the car key to the one guard that patrolled the area.I went on my steps but I noticed Roosevelt was sluggish and lost in thought.“Are you alright?" I inquired, waiting for him. I propped my hands in my pocket glaring carefully at him, “Are you still worried about those weapons?""I can not help but think about it, Alpha. What happens if we don't lay our hands on it and protect it? Or is that the reason you are having lunch with Mr Aliens's son?"I chuckled, nodding my head unbelievably and continued on my steps. I waved at the guards who bowed slowly as I walked through the main entrance."Why are you not answering, Alpha?""Do you want me that bad? Are you worried about the weapon or are you worried about my lunch with him?" I teased."When did you start mingling with humans anyway? I saw you in a different light today and the more reason I should want you.""Mason is my friend, a good special friend,” I said, my head reel
Leo.My eyes slowly parted to the faint tip-toeing steps; I shut them back instantly as the steps were close to me. Promptly I had a sensation of what felt like someone's arm coming to my neck.I quickly had the direction in my ear with a vague current and clamp and abruptly held the hand coming in my direction." Ouch, that hurts,” Roosevelt's honeyed yet boisterous voice whispered. I let out a heavy sigh and opened my eyes. I let go of his hand and wondered why he was here. I realised I had indeed fallen asleep on the sofa. I stretched to stand up and ended up kicking Auden.Did he fall asleep here too?I gazed at him cavernously brushing my hair backwards. Did he sit on the cold ground resting his head on my leg?Wait! How come I didn't feel that or remember when that happened?"That really hurt, Alpha,” Auden complained.I quietly got on my feet as he finally scrambled away. l headed to my room taking off my shirt, l glanced at the electronic clock by the rustic wood television
Leo. “Alpha.”I heard the voice loud and clear but I didn't pay attention. I’m still looking in the direction of the High Priestess’s quarters, wishing her doors will open and she will invite me in and help me with a solution.Why did I ever think I could have it easy in my life? If the High Priestess doesn’t know how to help me with my problems then who will?What is the point of doing all this?I’m left to fend for myself again, my father did the same thing. I was only a teenager when I took on the responsibility of leading a big pack. My age mates were still in high school while I sat on a throne. One I wasn't ready to sit on but I had to because my father decided to get murdered.Now I have a human mate and I don’t know what to do about him! I don’t know what to do!I’m afraid of my story. Alpha Leo’s history won’t end well. It will be one the next generation will frown upon, a leader nobody cares to remember.“Alpha.”I listen to the voice calling me and tears escape my eyes. “
Leo“Your sister doesn’t seem to like me very much,” Ethan beckons, his spirit dejected as he lazily chooses clothes that should fit him. “You shouldn’t worry about that,” I tell him, tired of the maid in front of me whose hands are shaking, “You can’t fix a common tie?” I scolded her.She immediately goes on her knees, “I’m sorry Alpha, forgive me, please.”“Let me fix it for you, Alpha,” Ethan offers. I nod, waving my hand in the air for the maid to leave my presence immediately.“Do you like anything, Omega?” The tailor asks and Ethan shakes his head, concentrating on my tie. I stare at his lips, the taste of them recoiling on my tongue.I looked away and said, “Richard is my favorite tailor, you should give him a chance to design something for you. You won’t regret it.”Ethan smiles brightly at me, “If you say so, Alpha.”Seriously I try not to stare at Ethan too much, he looks so freshened up, a good bath, his long hair has been trimmed and styled yet it still logs on his should
Leo“Alpha, I don’t get it. Why are we going this way, isn’t the road back to the Pack that way?”I turn around to stare at Ethan, he is listlessly looking around the woodlands, frowning with worry that we are lost.“I’m using a secret pathway,” I tried to explain as I began moving again, “Try to keep up.”He lets out a disgruntled whine, “We have been walking for two hours, Alpha.”“We are almost there, it’s just over the hills over there.”“But why… Why didn’t we go by the main entrance? It would have been easier and closer that way.”“There is a festival starting soon in the Pack and everybody has gathered from around the city and outside the region even. Going through the front door will cause commotion and draw unnecessary attention. And guess what? I’m barely even dressed, you don’t want your Alpha to appear in a gathering looking like this? I haven’t had a proper bath in days.”Ethan pauses on his feet, “I’m sorry I wasn’t thinking… I’m just nervous, worried and happy… I want t
Auden.Two days had passed and I didn’t get any information on Leo. I sat in his office with his worn shirt in my hands weeping with uttermost regret, venting my heart into it.I feel really bad, I feel like my whole world has crumbled down and I’m under it with nobody to save me.This is all my fault.I miss him so much, I held onto his shirt tighter as tears wouldn’t stop flowing. His heavenly scent is still lingering in the air like he was here a few hours ago.Leo, where are you? Please let me through in your mind… Let me talk to you. Please let me find you.I don’t stop crying as Zena steps into the office, searching for something and then picks up a car key.“Where are you going?”She raised an eyebrow at me, even though I noticed her puffy eyes and red nose that she is not okay. She has been crying, probably worried about Leo that she is unable to sleep.“I’m going out obviously,” She rolls her eyes as if I’m blind enough to see that.I can’t let her go out, I have been unable
Mason.“You throw punches like a baby,” Andrew stunts me, cleaning his lips with his fingers as he stands on his feet.My head is spinning too fast to consider him. I can’t bring myself to breathe, I need to breathe, I need to… Andrew yanks the chain, wrapping it around his palm as he pulls me, my body creating a pathway on the dusty floor.He punches my face with the chains shrouded around his hand. My body weakly slumped back to the floor, my tongue had split from his punch, making blood clogged in my throat. I could feel a pair of teeth on my tongue.I couldn’t help it and throw up everything in my mouth, coughing dryly. I could feel acid rising in my stomach, I curled myself into half, giving up fighting with him as my whole body vibrates with a new level of sadness, tears pricking my already dead looking eyes.He is obviously stronger and I’m the weak guy as usual.“Don’t make things difficult for me, I don’t have plans to hurt you so don’t make me.”“You should just kill me! Yo
MasonI let out a tired sigh, dropping my phone as the person on the other line cuts me off abruptly because of our argument.The principal of Kai’s new school. How can she already conclude Kai isn’t picking up well in his studies when she hasn’t even given him a chance. It hasn’t even been that long since I enrolled him.Fuck this woman seriously! She is trying to ruin my son’s future. If she wants money she should just say so because I know one thing for sure and I can say it aloud anywhere is that my child is not dumb! He might be having a hard time because a lot is happening around him, he was beaten by grandfather weeks ago, he also watched him torment me. He literally saw David get shot and now he suddenly just changed schools.I know, even though he doesn’t ask me, I know he believes Lauderhills will become our new home, this city might become our permanent home. I think he doesn’t like the thought of it but he hides it so well.And looking at the bigger picture I think Leo is
LeoI instantly stood on my feet, pushing Ethan behind me, “Stay on my back don’t come out,” I warned him, my eyes changing colors immediately. My claws are out and sharp, my Alpha protection instinct is high, ready to tear down any form of threat.A soft knock came on the door and I took a step forward, Ethan held onto my arm like his life depended on it. The knock comes the second time and the person behind doesn’t wait any longer and push open the door. I didn't wait around, immediately the figure stepped inside I went for the neck and encircled my fingers around whoever this person was, pushing their back against the wall in a flash, holding them down.“Woah woah Alpha,” Jason gasps, eyes wide, his hands raised in the air,” It’s me!”“Jason?” I took a step back and stepped on Ethan’s toes.“Awuh!”“Oops, sorry,” I turn around and ruffle his hair apologetically, “Sorry,” I glare at Jason, not finding his entrance amusing.“Why are you all covered up? And why the fuck can’t I smell
LeoThe sun cast directly on my face because this shit hanging on the window aren’t curtains. The sun burns my face but not in a bad way, in a way I actually enjoy. It makes me feel warm and I feel my lips curve in a small smile.I raised my hand, letting the sun rays pass through my fingers, playing heartily.For the first time in the past four days I feel like I’m actually alive, I feel attune to nature, life and myself.I crane my head to the side watching a sleeping Ethan, he is sleeping very peacefully, his head is on my arm and his hand wraps tightly around my torso.I smile, shaking my head at how cute he is. I let my fingers detangle his long locks, brushing them backwards with my fingers. I’m unable to tear my gaze from him, he looks so good. He has a birthmark on his left cheek, a black dot.My fingers work faster than my brain because I’m touching the dot, admiring it and then I’m letting my fingers feel his skin, drawing an uneven path on his face. “Mmh, Alpha,” He whines
LeoMy stomach is aching enough to wake me up and immediately I open my eyes, I retch up. I turned to the side of the bed and vomited a deep black color of blood.Great! What a great way to start.“Here… dri…drink this.”I look up and stare at Ethan, he is also back in his human form, bruises are like landmarks on his skin.I look away from him, feeling bad. The iron taste on my tongue makes my mood even more sour.I’m in a deep mess!I’m in great shit and good luck on how I am going to solve every problem going on in my life.The thought of Mason is beginning to creep around in my mind but it doesn’t last because my skin is already burning and my eyes are fogging with pleasure… My rut is in no way done with me.Thankfully Amir is too exhausted to feel horny! But Leo is not exhausted.“If you want to…to keep your rut at bay.. for..for a few more minutes you should drink this.”“I can’t drink anything from anybody I don’t trust, I trusted someone once and that is why I’m in this shit.”
