Mason.I stood up immediately as the middle-aged doctor walked out of Kai’s ward. He has a thick frame and round eyeglasses that happen to fit his face so well, “How is he, doctor?” I ask, gazing at every corner of his face for the sincere truth.“You don't have anything to worry about, Mr Mason. He is doing good at the moment, I would like to keep him for the next 24 hours or more to be sure he doesn't develop acute Stress Disorder or he didn't get water into his lungs. And for further observations, he is currently sleeping. He will come around in two hours,” He said with a sincere smile on his face and I let out a sigh of relief.“That is all for now, I will see you around in a few hours,” He tapped on my shoulder and walked away. I rushed into the room immediately, and there Kai was sleeping peacefully. I grabbed a stool from the side and sat close to the bed. I tugged his stray hair out of his face as he pouted, his usual habit. I held his hand into mine.“You scared me so much,
Mason."What do you mean you just saw Papa, Kai? I'm right here,” I tell him slowly, going down on my knees to be on the same level as him.I held his face so he could look at me but the disappointed look on his face broke my heart, it made me so sad."Is everything alright?” Andrew's voice behind me. I held Kai's hands even tighter as he wouldn't say anything to me.“Kai, what is wrong?"“I'm sorry Papa. I'm sure that I saw him look at us just now,” He muffled.“I think we should get to the car, Mason. You both can talk there,” Andrew said, rubbing my shoulders in comfort.“Let go, Kai,” I went on my steps, looking around curiously to see if there might be any truth in what Kai said.Who could it be?We walked quietly to where the car was parked. I got into the backseat with Kai even though Andrew had opened the passenger seat for me, “l will stay with Kai,” I explained to break the awkward silence and he nodded in agreement and strode back to the driver's seat.“Are you sure we shou
Leo.I sent a mental note to myself before I rushed out of the house but here am I just remembering I was supposed to ask Auden for the room number of the little boy.How do l get to see him now?I threw my hood over my head as I got into the main entrance of the hospital. I don't know why I'm disguising myself either. I went directly to the nurse receptionist who had a polite smile on her face with wide eyes like she saw a ghost coming in her direction."Hi?" She greeted shyly, gripping tightly the piece of paper in her hands. Why is she behaving like an Omega in heat?I let out a frustrated sigh, what am I supposed to ask? I only know Mason as his name. How am I supposed to know the child's name? Although I might have heard him call him something that day I can't remember.I'm such a coward."Hi?” The nurse greeted again with a more curious tone.“I'm looking for Mr Mason, his son was admitted here.""Oh, hold on a second Mr handsome. Let me quickly check…” She hummed.I looked arou
Leo."You already agreed to be friends with him and get him on our side, why did you change your mind?"“Alpha, sorry to interrupt you,” Jason's voice came rushing into the living room. My Beta, who is in charge of the Pack's daily welfare. He is always on the lookout and he is obtainable, "What is it, Jason?" I asked, not prancing an inch from where l was lying down."Alpha Roosevelt of the Litha Moon Pack is here to see you.""What is he doing here? I don't remember inviting him. So he travelled all the way from the north to pay an unexpected visit and that means something must be up.""I can send him away if it is not convenient enough for you to meet him,” Auden suggests."There is no need, Auden. I'm sure he has a reason to be here. Jason, go ahead and send him to my office and you, Zena. Let's talk about this some other time and stop thinking about how to use people to your advantage.”"Don't act like a saint, you know we will be needing his help sooner or later. And make haste,
Mason.The soft breath that warms a spot on my chest had me opening my eyes slowly.I sighed under my breath as Kai snuggled close to me, he was well covered yet he still felt cold. Is he always this clingy?My heart melted totally as l fiddled with his soft and moist curled hair. It's been a while since we slept together like this for a long time. Just when I decided to spend more time with him, we had to hurry here for that man's birthday party.I feel scared that he might grow up to be dependent on his nanny. I don't want him to hate me like I hate my Father. I sat up hastily and felt a hand around my waist. I knew this time that it wasn't Kai at all, he was too tender to grip me this hard.I left a tiny kiss on Kai's forehead and got out of bed. Ignoring Andrew to his upswings.I knew he placed Kai between us so I wouldn't have to be worried about him and to reassure me that we could spend our time like a family but that is farfetched. I don't want to expect anything from him.I a
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
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
