Still Michaels POV
I kept smiling at mom and dad, while I continued searching my brain for a reasonable explanation to give to mom and dad before dad changes his mind and banish me completely.
“Come to think of it, Why on earth did I decide to go to Los Angeles??
Am really testing the king’s patience and from the murderous glare am getting from him, I think am standing on thin ice here.”
“What has come over you son, are you trying to join the rebellion against me?? I would not let you bring shame and disgrace on this family.” dad screamed in anger with his finger pointed directly at me.
Gosh!!!
He looks so scary right now. His face is all red and swollen and he’s glaring daggers at me.
Mom also has that same angry look on her face but hers looks more like a disappointed look. She must already know that I chose Los Angeles because I don’t want her to interfere with my life anymore.
I would have just called it a bluff and chosen another city to go to, but something keeps pulling me towards this forbidden city.
“Come on Falc, this is not the time to be silent. I need to know if you’re the one that put that city in my head. Did Phoenix respond to you?? Is our mate in Los Angeles??
Come on buddy, talk to me.” I pleaded softly but for some unknown reason, Falcon has decided to be silent today. He’s never been like this before and I don’t have time to keep pleading with him this way because my parents are sitting right in front of me looking at me like an alien from Mars.
I couldn’t get Falcon to talk to me and I’ve not been able to come up with a reasonable explanation, so I decided to just speak the truth and get it over with. After all, I don’t have any bad intentions
“It’s not what you think dad. My mate is out there and am only going to search for her. I only chose Los Angeles because I know that we don’t have any allies over there so mom wouldn’t be able to send a spy to keep an eye on me. I don’t want anyone to interfere in my search or to try to trick me again.
I’ll never dream of joining the rogues in their rebellion. I promise you dad, if I come across any rogue wolf or any white wolf, I’ll kill them all.
You have to let me do this, my own way dad. You need to trust that I can handle any situation dad. Am the future king of all wolves, if I can’t handle a few rebellious wolves, how on earth can I lead our people??” I said convincingly, using key points that would touch his heart and change his mind.
From the thoughtful look on his face, I could tell that my words have hit the right spot and he’s beginning to soften a little.
“Don’t tell me you’re going to let him go over to Los Angeles honey??
You really can’t be considering it, are you??” mom yelled in confusion when she saw that dad was beginning to change his mind.
“I don’t know honey, but I see a little sense in what he’s saying. I did promise to let him do this his own way. If that is what he wants, then I have no other choice but to let him go. Besides, we have been meaning to send someone over to Los Angeles to track down the base of the rogue leader. Michael could actually help us put an end to these rebellious rogues while he searches for his mate. It’s a win-win situation, don’t you think??.”
“I can’t believe this!!
I just can’t believe this!!
You are so unbelievable,
You’re so damn annoying,
Both of you!!”
Mom yelled furiously as she storms out of the throne room in anger.
We both chuckled at her theatrics as she left us alone to discuss other stuff.
Dad filled me in on the recent discoveries from the council that he had set up to investigate the recent rogue attacks. From their investigations, it turns out that their base of operations is located somewhere in Los Angeles.
Am not surprised because their leader, Brandon Wellington, had actually declared Los Angeles as their headquarters. The rogues must be trying to follow in his footsteps, that’s why they kept recruiting more white wolves and that’s why they decided to use his base, Los Angeles.
After getting all the information I need from dad, I mind linked Derek and Brian and told them to meet me in my office. Since it’s a mission that involves the pack, Dad said I’ll be going with my second and third.
He’s also making me go with a few selected warriors and omega’s. He’s making me go with all these people and I couldn’t help asking myself one more time,
“Why the hell did I choose to go to Los Angeles??”
I was trying to avoid mom’s continuous now I got myself involved in this crazy investigation. This same fight against the white wolves had made me lose my mate twenty years ago. Now that I decided to leave this Palace and go search for my mate again, am being pulled once more into this fight.
Well, this time around, am going to be smart about it. I won’t let them ruin my chances of finding my mate again.
We didn’t have land and properties in Los Angeles so we searched on the internet for a house to buy.
We thought it would be so hard to find a house in the woods that would suit our lifestyle but we were shocked to find a perfect house in the words that’s already on the market.
It was so perfect. The design, the location are just what we were looking for. You would think that it was built specially for a werewolf or lycan.
Wait a minute,
Was it built for a werewolf or lycan???
This house is just too perfect to be true and it’s raising red flags in my head so I asked for more pictures to be sent over so I can verify the authenticity of the information we found on the internet about the house.
I informed her that we’re moving in two days which is actually a lie because I know for a fact that once the housekeepers are done packing my luggage, am leaving this Palace to go search for my mate.
We’re going to check into a hotel as soon as we get there, then later, the warriors and I would go over there and check out the house and its surroundings.
The house is surrounded by a thick forest so we need to do a sweep of the whole house and the whole forest. If everything goes as well as planned, we’re moving into that house by the end of this week and my journey to find my better half begins immediately.
The lady called back to inform me that the pictures would be sent later in the day. I assured her that I’ll make full payment as soon as I confirm that it has everything I want.
After making sure that everything is in order, I had the guards move my stuff into the range rover.
“So you’re leaving huh?? And I’ll be left all alone to face mom’s incessant nagging and scrutiny.
Gosh, Mikky,
You’re so mean and heartless.” Erica whined childishly as she stood on the staircase with my family, saying their goodbyes.
“Stop whining already!! I’ll be back before you know it. You can always come over there for a visit if your mate would let you, but please, don’t bring that douchbag along. You know how much I hate him.” She rolled her eyes at me as she heaved a frustrated sigh. She’s been trying to make me like her mate but it just never worked. I simply hate the dude and I don’t think that anyone can make me like him.
From the corner of my eyes, I could see my friends saying goodbyes to their families also,
Wait a minute,
Oh my God!!!
Derek and Brian are coming along with their mates???
Dear God,
This is not what I planned for.
This trip is becoming more and more weird. They are definitely gonna torture me every blessed day.
Brian and Derek have been unusually quiet, which could only mean that they are also pissed off at my actions yesterday.
I can actually deal with that. I just need a perfect time to tell them the whole truth and explain to them that I was tricked last night. Luciana wasn’t my mate but I have a mate out there and am going to find her.
They’ve been my friends for a very long time and I know that they will forgive me once I tell them the truth.
The part of this trip that I just can’t deal with is the fact that they are bringing their mates along which means that they are going to be all lovey dovey and I’ll be forced to watch from the sidelines because I don’t have a mate yet.
Maybe I can convince mom to send that new omega along with us on this trip. Don’t get me wrong, I really, really, really want to find my mate because I really can’t live without her, but don’t forget that am a man okay??
I have a special need that needs to be satisfied. A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do, Right???
Anyways, we drove off to the airport after saying our goodbye to everyone.
The journey just began.. Am going to find her soon, I know it.
