Contracted to the wrong Alpha
Chapter 78
Lex’s Pov
Her scent still lingered around but I couldn’t sense her around, it made Xander worry and Disturbed. I was supposed to visit Green Howling pack to settle our agreement over the death of their father and White Crisps for rejecting the proposal after our agreement, even a part of me knew that Jason was was behind it, proving sturbborn as fuck despite lacking the necessary resources to maintain the pack.
I went to my office to get my phone, Lilia rarely uses her phone so I doubt it was ever going to go through. I couldn’t fathom what was going on in my head and why I’m acting all paranoid, no one would hurt her. Not in the same mansion, I stay. They would have to pass through the gates of hell to bypass me to hurt her so there was no need to panic but I did.
I expected to see her asleep, all curled up and naked. I began to feel a growing ache beneath my legs as memories of last night replayed in my brain and were stamped in my soul.
I need to get us out of here, she needs the city and I don’t need to stay by her side all the time to know she’s being bullied. I just haven’t caught anyone in the act yet to be used as an example. They act like hypocrites because I’m around and not anything else.
I grabbed my phone and opened the cap of the bottle of water to calm my nerves by drinking. What if she’s hurt?
And I’m not even aware? What if she dies again like Seraphina!
“Seraphina was sick!” Xander growled at me and I swallowed.
This won’t do, I need to get the fuck out.
Raven would have gladly helped me out but he’s the only one in the city, trying to reveal the culprit that revealed that tape out and uncovered the cause if her rape in school.
He was so keen on doing this and I couldn’t blame him, his sister was raped the last time I heard and she was nowhere to be found so she’s considered dead. I bet he’s putting his last strings of expertise in this and I needed results, I trust him to do that.
I pushed the door open and I was met with a figure that had totally vanished Into the shadows.
Felix.
He was dressed in simple ripped jeans and a black shirt that revealed some skin. He smiled at me expecting a reaction but It was blank. I had reached out to him since I arrived but he went to God’s nowhere, leaving me with bizzare rumors about Lilia knocking him out to become unconscious.
I was into Felix that a day without his presence or his attention would affect me and send me spiraling Into a web of worry but it was the total opposite right now.
I felt disappointed and hurt.
“Is this it now? We’re now strangers that you won’t even acknowledge my presence?”
He scoffed, brushing his way in a way that hit my shoulders.
I wanted to feel guilty, laugh it off and welcome him but Felix surprised the hell out me.
“Where have you been?” I asked, clearly irritated that I was wasting a second here Instead of getting Lilia.
“In the pack, you’re just too busy with your Luna to notice. Helping her pass through the test like some smooth wind and Violating the Law.”
I turned sharply at him and frowned.
“You don’t get to tell me that Felix!”
He scoffed and raised his hands up in surrender. “I know, you’re the Alpha. The Law is in your hands right?”
“I’m not having this conversation with you right now, you’re pissing me off!”
I turned to the door and pushed open but his words made me halt.
“You’re not going to have Lilia Tyson brother, it’s just a matter of time reality will fall in place. You’re not supposed to help a rogue, train her or have the freedom she has today.”
“That’s not your business!” I growled at him, my wolf surged out and I felt my eyes burn. Everything he spewed might be the truth but hearing this from him almost had me puking.
“You’re letting the lies she told you about the company funds get in between us, where the fuck are you Lex?
Felix yelled suddenly and slammed the table and I fisted my hands in anger. I hope I don’t do something stupid because hitting my brother is one of the biggest mistakes I’ll be making.
I couldn’t try it. Felix is dear to me. The funds are gone and I want to believe that he must have a reason for doing that so I’ll rather not jump into conclusions yet.
“How did you know about the company funds? The outrageous amount that was being transferred on your orders and in your account without my knowledge!!
What the fuck did you do Felix? You made Lex’s enterprise Bankrupt and you’re spewing rubbish?”
“That’s because you chose to believe what she told you!”
“To hell with the victim card! A thorough research was made! Fucking hell Felix! This would be resolved, you’re going to explain to me and Dad what you used such millions for.” I spat out in anger and turned to leave.
“I know you’re looking for her, it’s gotten to a stage where a rogue takes your attention when she’s always a whore and would always be one!”
My teeth grinded against each other and hot blood streamed hotly in my body. I need to be calm, this was my brother and maybe I’m acting too vulnerable to make him say that.
“She’s still obsessed with her ex betrothed, it’s only a matter of time before they fuck again for another tape to be flying on media and spoiling your reputation.”
Felix dropped another bombshell that invoked the hidden power in me, I didn’t want to believe that but what if it’s true what would she be doing in White Crisp Pack? What the fuck does Jax even have?
“She’s in this pack, don’t worry and I hope she sees the eyes you’re displaying. It would be a constant reminder for her to flee as you both will never ever be together!”
I swallowed hard and bitterly, trying to shut my eyes and calm myself down. The table in front of me was pleading for me to take it and smash on Felix’s head but I did what any wise person would do and walk out.
*****
“It’s frustrating Jax, I can’t get wave combat. How am I supposed to do that when it’s supposed to be in my wolf form.”
My body tensed as I heard Lilia’s voice , all in distress at the arena. The guards had wanted to follow me as they thought I came to train but it was the opposite, her scent dragged me like a drunk maniac and I found her myself .
“You’re getting it, but with the tip of your toes fixed to the ground, you will hit the wave. Come here Lil.”
My claws were out, I didn’t think of anything at the moment because all I saw was McKenzie’s son challenging me and my authority, sneaking into my pack to be with my Luna and it got worse when Lilia went to hug him wholeheartedly, pressing her bosoms on his chest.
I stood like a statue, watching them with my clawed hands stuck in my pocket, i could feel my eyes burn but I didn’t care to hide It.
I was fucking enraged!
Seconds snapped and Jax seemed to notice my presence, he faced me while Lilia backed me. He seemed to enjoy my demeanor as all he did was smirk.
One , two, three steps to the motherfucker, I tore Lilia away from him and punched his throats out to earn a soft crack, he was strong as punches like that send a lot spiraling into the air.
Lilia screamed but I ignored her. I grabbed Jax by the collar and dragged him to the pillar of a tall ball that stood in the midst.
“You’re daring me right?” I growled into his ears and he chuckled, wiping the blood.
“I’m just helping my betrothed, she’s suffering way too much in your damned godforsaken pack. Haven’t you seen she’s making me proud?”
I raised my hands to punch him again but Lilia yelled.
“Don’t hurt him!! Please Lex, I came on my own and asked him to do this.” Her shaky voice echoed but I ignored her and focused on Jason.
“I promised your father to cut your dick and send it to him if I ever see your shadow near her, I’m glad that we are on the same page now. I can’t wait to fulfill that promise, go near her again and kiss your pathetic life goodbye!”
I spat out at him and his eyes darkened with fury.
“You silly demon! You think you’re going to have and kill her? I’ll rather rip those hearts to shreds and remind you to stay clear from those that don’t deserve you!”
His words hit me hard like Brickwood, why he called me that I don’t know but if there’s anything I know is the truth to his words. He was right and I hated it.
