Still Mavericks POV
When I left the pack house that day, I had no idea where I was going or what I was going to do about the information I just got. It hurt me to think of the things they have been doing to my family and to this pack. I stayed there for a long while and I listen to we to everything they have to say. I also heard them planning for their next mission. I could have wales away from there the moment I heard them planning, but I stayed back to hear what they wanted to do next because I wanted to be sure that they had no plan to repent and turn back from their evil way.
I know what I want to do, and I know it’s going to hurt them like crazy. But before I took the next step, I wanted to hear them plan their next mission so I could know what next to do to them. If they showed any remorse, or even if they acted the least bit concerned about my welfare and that of my family, I would have been convinced that there is still a bit of good in them. I know it’s not really necessary, but I needed to convince myself that they truly deserve all the pain I’m going to cause them after today. So I stayed back and listened to everything they have to say and guess what?
I got the conviction I needed. The Armstrongs are not worthy to be seen amongst us, they were worst than saboteurs and they deserve everything they get from me and king Gerald. I don’t know why king Gerald hates him, but judging by what I heard him say to his kids, I’m pretty sure that king Gerald is not in support of his rebellion. He said he wanted to find the last healer before king Gerald, and at the same time, King Gerald was also trying so hard to find her before him. Do, I’m guessing they are not rivals, but their goal is still one and the same, and that is to find Valerie and get her powers before she could break the curse.
I’m the only one that cares about Valerie’s welfare, and at the same time, I’m also the only one worried about the welfare of the people. These bastards do not want the curse to be broken, they would prefer to have us living as slaves under their respective guidance. Having us work so hard to improve their finances and properties will be their top priority. If either of them gets their filthy hands on Val, they’ll probably drain her of her powers and have her killed just to end the lineage of healers and ensure that the curse is never broken. You won’t believe that with everything that has happened, all Harold Armstrong has to say to his daughter is,
“Go get back your and, dear. Convince him that everything that happened back there was a joke. Tell him you were playing a prank on him just to get his attention and get him to notice you. You must be closer to him now that we know that the healer could be closer than we thought. She will seek out the heir of the Huntingtons, and that is Maverick. We can’t let them find each other, so please make sure you keep a close eye on him and get him to believe that you truly care about him and that you have been pulling his legs because you wanted him to notice you and spend some quality time with him.” He advised her, smiling to himself as he did.
“But I don’t like that asshole, daddy. He hates me, and I don’t like him either. I would rather cut out my tongue than profess my love for that bastard. He doesn’t take me out or spent time with me, he doesn’t tell anyone that I’m his girlfriend. He is just so dumb and annoying, I don’t want to be with him.” She responded sadly. I almost laughed at the irony of it all. Here she is, claiming she doesn’t want to have anything to do with me, acting as if she is being forced to be with me. Actually, she is not acting as if she is being forced to be with me, she is actually being forced by her father to be with me.
I simply laughed within myself when she said that. It’s obvious that the feeling of hatred is mutual, so I guess we’ll just keep pretending to be in love with each other while in truth, we both know how much we detest each other. She kept whining about being in love with someone else, and I almost laughed out loud because it all seems like a big joke to me. Like, why is she trying so hard to please her father instead of going to be with the guy she loves. It’s just so stupid and I would have continued thinking about it if I didn’t hear her father’s next words,
“I know all about your stupid love affair, and trust me, my dear, I don’t give a damn about it. You can have him if want to, I really don’t think it’s such a big deal, after all, I still do not consider him as a son, I don’t think he is my blood because he acts like a complete asshole. But you know the rules, and you know the lycan king or even Aloha Maverick would never let you be with him because it is considered a crime in these countries. But I can give you what you want, I’ll let you be with him and I won’t try to stop your relationship, I promise. This is why you need to help me find that girl. I’m the only one that can give you exactly what you want and also help you build a stronger relationship with that asshole.” Harold told her warmly, smiling affectionately at her.
I guess I was right when I said that he loves her way more than he loves his son. At least that part is clearer now, and I believe I was right all along. But I’m getting confused here, I don’t understand the part where he said that her relationship with her lover will not be accepted by me. I’ve been trying to understand why he would think that I would care about Cameron’s new lover. Do I look so jobless to him?
“Will you really let us be together?” she asked him excitedly, and I got even more upset because I don’t know who they are both talking about. Curiosity is not my finest quality, I hated it when I’m kept in the dark, I always want to know about everything happening around me. This is why I’m the true Alpha king, I keep myself up to date with the things happening around me. I stay updated, and I try my best to help out when I’m needed.
“I would do anything for you, my sweet princess. When I’m king, I will let you have anything you desire. If being with an asshole is what you want, then by all means, you can certainly have him.” Harold responded as he kept smiling at her, looking deep into her eyes.
“And what the hell is this all about?
How can you two discuss such rubbish in my presence, have you two suddenly gone insane?
Why don’t you ass the asshole if that is what he wants as well. You are both so unbelievable, I just can’t bear to look at you two and listen to what you have to say. I’m out of here!” Shane stated angrily. I heard his footsteps, and I knew he was on his way out of the underground basement, so I turned towards the exit and took off at once, evading the guards and maids. I kept hearing their loud arguments as they came up together, they weren’t even trying to hide their presence anymore. As soon as they left their secret hideout, they started talking loudly, making it seem like they have nothing to hide. You would think they are having a normal family discussion that leads to that argument. You will never guess what these bastards were just discussing in the basement a few minutes ago.
I hurried back to my car, but I didn’t leave the house immediately. This time I drove into the building’s parking lot, and I called the first maid I spotted when I stepped out of my car and I asked her about the car parked out of the building and in front of the entrance. I knew it belongs to Harold and his kids, but I still wanted to hear what she would say about it.
