Contracted to the wrong Alpha
Chapter 109
Lex’s Pov
Hurting Lilia was a death sentence but hurting Raven shouldn’t be an option either. It’s something one is supposed to avoid by all means and prevent it so cutting Jethro off was something I did without thinking twice. Especially if Lilia didn’t like him so much, I’ll do anything to make her happy.
After telling her about a secret that I thought would make her see me as the devil’s Incarnate or cringe in fear, I felt relieved.
I’ve even felt better when she didn’t push me away when the powers got triggered which was confusing because my powers get triggered when I’m angry or under the full moon.
“Are you thinking about that? Do you still want him to be your gamma?” She asked after noticing my countenance as I shook my head to quash that silly thought off her. I didn’t know how I was going to tell her that I needed to leave for New York, I needed to visit my brother.
I need to have a very lovely dovey chat with him and come back the next day.
“Then why do you look so lost all of a sudden, is it because of my wolf, did she scare you that much?” She asked and I chuckled kissing her hair and smirking.
“You know that’s quite the opposite right?”
“Well, I don’t know. You tell me.”
I was about to carry her up and say all sorts of nasty silly things to her when I saw a maid rushed to us instant with panic coursing all over her face.
“You need to come immediately Alpha?” Her voice was shaky and I frowned.
“What’s the problem?”
“It’s your father, he’s lashing out at Luna since he couldn’t find you.”
“Mum is here?” I asked rhetorically and she nodded.
“Yeah, she dropped by this afternoon but your father just arrived.”
I nodded and walked faster to meet them, even before I reached the living room, I could listen to my father’s rants and yells at my mother and my teeth gritted hotly. If he dares try to hurt her…
“Alexander won’t cover up for something evil! I won’t let that happen. Go find Felix and let him atone for his monstrous deeds!” Mum yelled and when she saw me, she sighed in relief and came to hug me, kissing my cheeks.
“What’s going on here?” I asked aloud and Dad turned to me.
“You’re going to do two things Alexander and it’s not up for argument. You’re divorcing Lilia Tyson and getting your brother out of the mess she put him in!” He spat out and I laughed.
“That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard in my life, Dad!”
“Nothing is funny!” He roared
“But you sound funny! Try again because that speech doesn’t sound serious like it’s supposed to be.”
“Alexander! I’m talking to you and I demand your full attention. That woman has destroyed my life and Legacy by saying such dreadful things about my son in the media! I’m going to lose the Presidential seat and you think I’m cracking some jokes? She fucking destroyed our life!” He yelled and I growled in rage, pushed my mum aside slowly, and glared at him.
“She destroyed no one’s life, she saved your son from dying! She saved me from running wild for days, saved my heir and fucking escaped from your psychic son who was bent on wiping her existence out!”
“Alexander, are you even listening to me? I said my legacy is about to crumble and go into shreds!”
“All she did was survive!” I yelled at him, ignoring the look on his face as the atmosphere grew more tense than before.
“They want Felix and not you, how that has to do with the Parliament and your seat, I don’t know. So if you have Felix and you’re hiding him, better bring him out now and save yourself the stress. Lilia has nothing to do with your position and authority!” I spat out and held Lilia’s hand but his eyes sparked brightly as if he was stabbed and betrayed and couldn’t take it.
“It was all business Alexander and the deal is off, the same way she needs to be cut off before she sets this pack on fire and watches it go up in flames! I would not let this happen in my lifetime so you’re going to divorce her, marry your first mate and let there be peace in the pack?”
“You’ll be surprised at the things I’ll do for the woman I’m in love with, don’t tempt me! Everything has always been business to you, she’s my life so get that straight in your head and stop daydreaming about a divorce that would never take place, if you have a problem go get him and ask what he was thinking when he was trying to tarnish her reputation, kill her baby, and hurt her!
Don’t yell at me to hurt my eardrums! The Parliament is none of my fucking business!” I slammed the table and the shock on his face was so evident that he couldn’t believe that I was going to retaliate that way.
His eyes strayed to Lilia who cowered in dread and stiffened against me.
“How much do you want? 100 million? 500, 600, or even a billion so I could buy you off away from my son to gather back his sanity?” He asked and her fingers clenched around her fabric tightly but Mum stood before him to block him from staring at Lilia.
“Enough with the nonsense Wilson! No one cares about your money and don’t stress my daughter-in-law with your silly words. If you have a problem with what’s going on in your city and solve it, leave them alone! Especially Lilia who had enough scary trauma!”
My father dropped the car keys he was holding and sighed exasperatedly.
“So Felix is no longer your son hmm?” He turned to me and scoffed. “I thought he was your favorite brother Alexander? I thought you would do anything for your Younger brother and cover him up for anything, no matter the situation. Is it because of the bitch who has suddenly got you twirled around her pussy! You know Seraphina also has one but none of this happened!”
I shook my head at my dad’s choice of words and he turned to my mum.
“And you, all of those care and love was a pretense, wasn’t it? You never liked Felix because he’s not yours right? Because he’s not your biological child, you’re suddenly revealing your true colors.”
“I’ve loved my two sons to the moon and back, if anything I’ve done to myself that I regret in my life was pampering Felix and letting him live like a spoilt brat. What I didn’t do was raise a monster, who kills, destroys, steals, and becomes a devil! So Yes! I don’t fucking know Felix anymore!” She yelled and he was on her again, trying to raise his hands on her and I pushed him off in a flash.
“Lex?” Lilia called, getting scared at how things escalated fast and I turned to her.
“Get inside flower, I’ll meet you when I’m done.”
She nodded and went to the room while I turned to face my Dad.
“I’ll put a restraining order on you and make sure you don’t see your wife in months if you dare lay your hands on her!” I roared.
“I didn’t touch her.”
“You didn’t have to, You’re going to hit her again! And I stopped loving Felix when he rendered my company bankrupt after giving him my all, destroyed the life of the woman I’m in love with, and tried to fucking kill her! And you know one thing I’m glad about, he’s not my blood so to hell with him!”
I yelled at him and pulled Mum’s hands to leave his sight but my father wasn’t backing off.
I could see the desperation in his actions, all he wanted to do was save a psychopath I had in my custody, irrespective of his crimes.
When Mum said everything was all about his mate, I believed her now because he wasn’t focused on just saving Felix, he was focused on making sure that a reminder of his mate bond was there before him no matter how evil he might be.
“If you don’t save your brother out of this mess, I’ll destroy your legacy as an Alpha too.” I scoffed and my mum’s eyes widened.
“I’ll let the world know you’re a Lycan demon and a threat to their existence. That you’ve killed souls countlessly as a triggering effect of this power!”
“Oh, goddess!! Wilson! You won’t dare!” Mum cried and slipped her hands off me in shock and I swallowed hard.
“I’ll do it Liliana and Isabelle would do that for me perfectly!” He spat out and I know I’m fucked up, for the first time in my life, I wasn’t looking at my father, I was looking at a desperate evil stranger.
