A new quest

CHAPTER SEVEN

Alpha Jett's pov

My alarm rang and I groaned before tuning to my left and faced the window where the rays shone on my face. I stared at the window for a while before I decided to sit up and yawned for a while. I stood up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom.

I looked in the mirror and ran a hand through my hair as I stared at my face, I looked completely stressed; I had to do some things at my office before I could leave for the Paz pack and ever since I came, I'd been thinking of the perfect way to interrogate Luca that he wouldn't have the opportunity to deny anything or even escape the question. Body language was important and I had to be able to read his eyes in the short time I'd get after asking him the question to know if he's lying or not before he answers. I was still deep in my thoughts and plans when I unknowingly slept off… only to wake up late this morning. The event of two nights ago still heavy on my heart. I was a complete douche!

I sighed and took my toothbrush "you're driving me crazy Luca" I said to myself and brushed my teeth then took a bath and went out of the bathroom and into the room. The maid had already arranged my clothes in the closet immediately after I arrived in the pack the last day so it was going to be easy for me to sort out and choose what to wear.

I walked into the closet and took a pair of black trousers with a white shirt and dressed up. It was modest but also good enough to make me look hot. I was here for a crucial meeting with my annoying brother who thought that he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it but it still wouldn't hurt to look good.

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror and took a hair brush to arrange my hair that was messy from the bath. I brushed it and styled it then sprayed some hairspray on it to make it shiny and maintain the style before I wore my shoes and left the room.

A maid was outside already waiting for me. She bowed once I came out of my room and directed me to the dining room to have my breakfast. I could see her slim turning red and I knew I had done my job in looking good, so good that every lady in this pack would oogle once they saw me.

The plan was to annoy Luca too, if his pack of women forgot how he looked for a while and instead admired his brother that didn't have a scar on his face, it was definitely going to piss him off and that was the plan.

I sat at the dining table in the dining room alone and I was served breakfast. The servants scurried up and down trying to meet my every needs when I didn't ask for them and I wondered what it was exactly that Luca and his subordinates had made the slaves and servants in this pack go through to make them so scared of me.

I hated the noise they kept making and it was messing with my head, I couldn't take it anymore and I knew I had to calm them down

"Stop walking around!" I yelled and banged the table. I couldn't enjoy my breakfast because of them and it was getting annoying because I liked my peace and quiet all the time… they had to stop.

"We're sorry Alpha Jett" they said in a chorus and bowed and I looked at them.

They were all trembling, probably thinking I would harm them or report them to Luca and have them punished, damn Luca what have you done to these people?

That was all I thought as I stared at them and clicked my tongue while shaking my head.

"I won't hurt you all and I'm not mad. I just want to eat in a quiet place with no one around" I said and they bowed before they all left the dining room and I was alone. I sighed and went back to eating, I liked the food this time.

Soon I was done and the guard by the door led me to the meeting room. I knew I was extremely late again but I didn't care… I wished I could do worse in getting back at Luca for all he had done to me but this was all I could do and I was going to make him pissed so bad. I got to the door of the room and I could hear murmurings from inside the room, tired already?

I thought as they opened the door and I put on a smirk on my face as I walked in with a hand in my pocket.

I could feel the eyes on me and if they were hot enough to melt me, I'd be walking around with holes in me by now. I knew Gavin would be kind of pissed at me for eating time but he would also understand because he knew what has gone down between me and Luca ever since we were kids.

His assistant, I presumed, helped me to a seat as I saw how the women stared at me like they wanted to rip my clothes apart on that spot… except for one. I sighted her as Luca's assistant showed me to a seat right next to hers and I noticed how she was looking. She looked disgusted; not at me though but at the gaze the women in the room were giving me. She wasn't even looking at me, she just played with her fingers and shook her head from time to time like she was deep in thoughts and her scent, damn! It was intoxicating. I had never felt like this towards any female werewolf because I believed in being celibate until I found my mate and if I wanted to get into a relationship sexually with anyone, it was going to be only one person and would be official first because I hated sharing what belonged me especially if it was a person that was important to me.

The chair was pulled out for me and I sat then turned to the lady beside me "hi" I said and she looked at me, shock on her face and I wondered why she looked like she had just seen a ghost. She didn't reply or acknowledge my greeting and that got to me, did she know who I was? Of course she had to know except she was daft. So why should she ignore my greeting? I guessed the apple never fell far from the tree, she was just like Luca, a snub she looked like it too.

I killed my warmness and became my cold self that I usually was at meetings and turned to face the rest of the faces in the room and gave Luca a forced smile. The women were still staring at me like I was a snack. It was a lovely feeling at first and it felt nice to be admired but now I just felt disgusted, and I remembered the lady that snubbed me beside me, now I understood why she was disgusted too. Her scent was still as strong as ever and I was loving it the more I dragged it in but I had to face the reason why I was here in the first place. I was here for business with Luca and I should concentrate on that. I quickly took her out of my mind and mind linked with Gavin so we could talk.

"Why're you fucking late Jett?" He almost yelled at me  "sorry I woke up late" I replied and looked at him where he sat opposite me, he nodded in understanding and smiled at me "Luca would be so pissed that you kept him waiting" he added and I tried to suppress a laughter that threatened to break out of me.

Luca was staring at me so hard but I didn't mind. His staring contest could be participated in by only him because I wasn't interested in his child play at all. I was only here to confirm if he was truly guilty of what he had been accused of. 

I stood up from my seat and addressed everyone at the meeting "hello, good morning members of the Paz pack. I'm sure some of you don't know me but let me introduce myself, I am Alpha Jett of Altra pack, the twin brother of your Alpha Luca" I said and stopped for it to sink into them. Once they had taken in all I had said, I continued with what I was saying. Their eyes now held more respect for me and it was more exciting; how people could look at you differently just because of a simple introduction. I guess Luca was trying to be an asshole again by not informing them of who it was exactly that was visiting for a meeting.

"Now for my reason why I'm here" I stopped and began to move around the room slowly to study everybody's body language and reaction in case there would be anything suspicious to catch and investigate.

"I've been getting reports that your Alpha is now a team with some witches from the witch's council" I stopped and I heard low gasps, it was obvious that they were all scared of what Luca would do to them if they made the shock obvious. 

"That's not all, he's also plotting with them to kill us as all, the werewolves of each pack so he could be the most powerful wolf in our realm while the witches would hold all the power in their realm and you all know that is going to threaten the spirit code, our safety and all that our forefathers had worked for all these years" I said and I heard more gasps that were a bit more audible this time.

"So tell me Luca, is it true?" I asked him once I got to where he was seated and placed my hand on his shoulder .

Gavin was going to observe him while I did the questioning and I still hoped deep inside that Luca would be innocent. Even though we never got along, he was my brother and I didn't want him breaking the rules that would threaten everyone's safety.

He pulled my hand off his shoulder and stood up to face me "that's bullshit Jett. I'm not so stupid to want to end the werewolves" he said and I looked at him while I mind linked with Gavin and told him to watch Luca closely

"Are you sure Luca?" I asked him and he nodded  "fucking yes Jett, now so stop acting like a detective and go back to your seat" he told me and I just walked back to my seat.

My eyes met those of the lady beside me as I walked to my seat and we held eye contact for a while. There was something alluring about her but I couldn't place a finger on it yet even though I didn't succeed in getting her out of my mind. She quickly looked away and I sat on my chair and stole a glance at her. She was beautiful though, really beautiful but I didn't want to get distracted so I tried to think of more ways or methods that I could use to question Luca but nothing was coming to mind, only this lady I didn't know that kept on interfering my thoughts and I didn't know why. Luca was staring at me and I was staring at him too. I was out of ideas so I had to do something.

"This meeting will hold another time, between you and I this time Luca" I said and walked out with Gavin right behind me. When it would just he me and Luca, I was going to make him answer all the questions I had in store for him.

As for the brown haired fairy next to me, I registered somewhere at the back of my mind to see her. We have some scores to settle and until that is done, home is still far away. The mistake from two years ago, I'd correct.
