Contracted to the Wrong Alpha
Chapter 62
Lex’s pov
His tone was sharp, precise and stern that it cut through my entire body sharply. I tried to be calm but Xander wasn’t having any of it.
“Cool it down Xander!” I warned and stared at the man who was looking composed as ever.
“It’s not a request, Alpa Kenzie.” My tone changed and I finally got his attention. “It’s an order that comes with a Proposal.”
“It doesn’t work that way Alexander.” He suddenly spat out.
“I don’t care to know how it works, get your Priestess to lift the curse the same way she imposed a curse on her. I know she might have broken the Law and because of your principles, you had to give in. But I’ll compensate for your efforts if the curse inflicted on her wolf is lifted.”
The man paid no attention to my words and this would be the first time Kenzie would display an air arrogance towards me or my family. He hates drama and does his best to avoid it but that doesn’t seem to be the case right now and with each passing seconds, I was losing my patience and the air was beginning to get thick.
“What happened to your Luna was a natural occurrence that was meant to happen as a result of her stubbornness and Infidelity. It can’t be reversed Alexander.” He insisted and I removed my tie, sinking my weight deeper into the plush chair.
“But you can make it happen, you’re the Alpha and your Priestess would listen to you and pull the strings off with some necessary rituals and her wolf would be free. I’m asking this as a favor this time.”
I have to reduce my voice and resort to pleading, Kenzie could do it. Like fucking hell, he could tell that lady and appease to the moon goddess and other shit to let her be free, I didn’t want her to fufill the end of the month test. Something could happen to expose her identity and I wasn’t ready to see her tears or denounce her as Luna yet.
With the Priestess of White Crisp pack acknowledging Lilia’s freedom, everything would fall in place or she might carry that curse for a long time.
“I’m sorry Alexander, I won’t fulfill this one. You want the curse lifted so your people won’t find out and so the chances of being with her will be valid but I don’t want that. I want her to be exposed, banished by your people and threatened to be killed by your father and the whole people of Midnight Shade.”
My skin became white, I saw red vision and my claws came out sharply to rip anything apart. I was so stunned by Kenzie’s bluntness and when I thought couldn’t handle his words, he hit me with another blast of his words.
“I’m doing that because that’s the only thing that would make me have her back..” He stood up and sighed. ” For my son, he’s still in love with her.”
Fuck!
This sheer audacity!
Blood roared hotly in my ears and eyes and all I wanted to do to this old man was pin him to the wall and blast his words with punches.
“Why?” I asked him, pulling up my sleeves to my arms. It was beginning to get too hot and I was losing patience and control. “Why do you suddenly want her for your son after publicly rejecting her, laying a deadly curse on her because of an ugly situation that happened to her? Why didn’t you want her for your son then, hmmm??
“Because I’m already Alpha!” He suddenly barked at me and ruffled his hair nervously. “I had to do what was required of me even if I didn’t want to. It was the law. It went public and you of all people should understand the same situation. I did what I had to do with regret, but seeing my son being miserable is not something I will watch Alexander. I will wait till you divorce her or better still, till your pack rejects her and I’ll accept her back. She has always been the one I choose for my son and I’ll retract my mistakes.”
My teeth trembled in rage and the blood flowing in my veins had never been hotter than anything. I sank my teeth in my lower lip and a shaky chuckle escaped my throat. Kenzie’s words isn’t supposed to affect me this way, I was going to divorce Lilia sooner or later but it affected me like I’m being dragged on a valley of hot coal. I couldn’t accept the reality, I didn’t want to!
Lilia was mine and that’s it.
To think that this old hag had been eyeing my wife for his son is enough to send me spiraling to a web of war with him and his entire pack. He’s so fucking stupid!
I wasn’t ready to banter words with him, I’ll seek a solution to Lilia’s wolf and train her myself. I need to know her abilities and disabilities, what might kill her and what would make her so powerful. There’s a hidden mustard in her and all she needs is the right amount of ingredients to make her sprout and generate mightily.
I looked at Kenzie who seemed ready to go with a defiant smile and he looked confused, averting his gaze towards me.
I got up too and smirked, stretching my hands for a handshake.
“It’s okay Kenzie, I totally understand your plight and your refusal to my request is totally understandable. ” He took my hand and shook it.
“I’m glad you understand Alpha Alexander, I hope we strike a mutual deal next time to favor ourselves.” I smiled and held his hands from being soft to tight.
“Tell your son, Jason;” I felt him stiffen at once but I continued.
“Tell him that if I see him near my Luna, I will cut his dick out and rip his throat to hang it in the dungeon of confinement. And the next time you say shit of having Lilia to yourself, for your son as if she’s some kind of commodity to be tossed anywhere and be used. I will come for you hotly Kenzie and extend the aggression to your pack!”
Blood drained from his fair face and I dropped his hand down. I took my jacket from the arm rest and turned to leave when he suddenly said a word that halted me on track. Xander stiffened too and I had to hear it again to be sure I wasn’t hallucinating.
“What if Seraphina returns back?” I turned sharply and gave him a death glare.
“What if she was never dead all this while Alexander! Won’t you also toss Lilia aside like some commodity and go to your mate?” His words taunted me , I’ve never felt so choked.
“She’s dead!” I say curtly, feeling a pile of chugging pain and irritation mixed up at once. “Don’t mention her name ever again in your lips.”
“See? You’re still protective of her even in death.”
“That’s not your fucking business Kenzie! Don’t mention her name!” I thundered loudly and he shrugged.
” That’s the answer, you will choose your mate over her if she pops out now, the same way I will choose Lilia for my son over your threats and make her his Luna! Have a nice day Alpha Alexander!” He spat out and walked away leaving me derailed in thoughts that made me weak.
What if your mate was never dead?
That word echoed in my brain repeatedly more than it could ever be. I felt scared and excited at the same time at such a possibility and groaned in frustration.
I crave for Lilia like a drug to my sickness but for Seraphina…I shut my eyes and let the image of her face fill my head.
I’ll do anything to see her face, anything to have her back. I missed her so much that my heart twisted in a wrenching pain.
But Lilia evoked an emotion and desire in me I’ve never felt with my mate. She made me burn and yearn for her like an addiction.
I didn’t notice Raven walked in, I was too engrossed in my thoughts till he sat down near me and passed a cold bottle of water.
“You are acting like you’ve seen a ghost, Alpha.” He commented and I took the water instantly to gulp.
“How is the research going?” I asked him and he ruffled his hair.
“Tedious, hard than I expected. I visited the school and asked some questions and even with my influence, they couldn’t provide much. I’ve resorted to hacking the school system to have access to their CCTV to have access to the footage. But it would take months to come up with something.”
His reply only seems to irritate me more and I hissed.
“Tell me Raven, what if Seraphina wasn’t dead? What if she appears again in my life, what do you think I should do?” I repeated Kenzie’s question to me. And Raven stared at me as if I’m stupid.
