DAMIAN
I didn’t bother to call back and ask why he wants me at his room by this time. Instead, I got myself cleaned up and dressed to visit him.
Casey didn’t even make a move despite all the sounds I was making. She just slept peacefully on the bed, ignoring her surroundings.
I rolled my eyes at her behavior, grabbed my phone, and exited the room.
My two guards who followed us down to Northern Pack were staying in the next room. I didn’t even bother to beep them about my meeting with Henry. I just left to meet my partner.
On getting to Henry’s room, he immediately grabbed his car key and said, ” Come with me, Alpha.”
“To where?” I asked when I saw him scanning his eyes around the room, sliding his key into hus pocket.
He then dropped his eyes on me and said, ” I thought Alpha Woods told you ahead of time that you’ll be seeing him soon?”
“Alpha Woods?” I remembered our call back at my office. This is the main reason why I came to Northern Lights in the first place.
I almost forgot!
“My Alpha would like to see you now, ” Henry said, walking up to the door.
My heart was beginning to beat. It’s finally time to see the man who’ll take me to a whole new world!
I thought about Casey and the promise I made to Woods, but I felt she can see him another time since she’s too lazy to be woken by this time.
Together, Henry and I left the hotel, entering a car that suddenly pulled up in front of the building.
“I thought we were taking your own vehicle?” I asked Henry, looking at the face of our driver from the rearview mirror. He had a scar across his nose and gave this aura of a criminal.
“We’re going to take it, but not here, ” He said calmly, sitting back.
I did the same when the car began to move. All my mind went to Woods and the plans he has for me to start up in the Mafia World.
The thrill was active inside my body. I couldn’t wait to start making so much income and advancement in my business.
That will amuse my father in-law when he sees how far I’m growing. Then I’ll have a upper hand against Diego and ruin that man.
Damn, there are so many things to achieve from this. I can already feel the power surging inside of me.
“Six o’clock,” The driver said, looking at the rearview mirror.
Henry and I did the same, and we found a car without it’s headlights on, following us from behind.
The sight of this vehicle became suspicious to us. I thought I was the only one who sensed this, but I was glad we all had the same feeling about the car following our tail.
“Get rid of him,” Henry ordered.
Our driver applied a few speed to his car and drove into a different road. As we drew afar, the car came after us, using the same speed as our vehicle.
The scar face driver didn’t panic but carefully made three more turns into a different road, before coming to a stop outside a closed shop.
When he did this, Henry pulled me out of the vehicle swiftly and into the alley close by, so we could hide.
When the car drove off, the other car came speeding after it, following its tail.
“I knew someone was watching,” Henry said with a squint, turning and walking into the alley.
I followed him from behind, having no fear over what just happened.
We walked out of the dark path and came up to another car, which belonged to Henry. Together we got inside and he drove off into another route, heading for our destination.
“One thing about being a Mafia is by being carefully alerted. You don’t know who’s watching you in the shadows,” He lectured me.
From what he said, I asked, “Do you think our stalker was Crescent’s Alpha?”
“I can’t say. But there’s a chance he’s the one,” Henry responded.
I hummed at his word, taking a quick look at the rearview mirror to see if we’re being chased by the same lunatic or another.
Well, the back is free from any stalker.
I think we’re good to go.
In thirty minutes time, we pulled up into the garage of a small house in a quiet environment.
The place looked like an estate here in Northern Lights pack, maybe because of the silence and the hour we’re in.
When the car drove in and the garage door went shut, the vehicle was suddenly taken into the ground, bringing us into a whole different road!
It looked like a tunnel!
Henry drove off into this underground road for another ten minutes and came out into the open, which turned out to be a forest.
That was a secret pathway leading out of the pack.
I was amused by this fascinating moment. It made me wonder how deep and far this people are ready to go to achieve their goals.
And trust me, I can’t wait to be a part of this world experience.
Few minutes later, we pulled up to a cottage in the forest. The place looked abandoned, but the two cars parked outside showed the place was occupied.
“We’re here,” Henry said, getting out of his car. I did the same, following him towards the small building.
On stepping inside, we began to hear a troubling sound from someone who seems to be in danger.
I was about to ask Henry if he heard this wrenching voice when suddenly, my eyes caught sight of someone running up to us from the passage at Henry’s left!
Quickly, I pulled Henry out and grabbed this stranger, slamming him hard against the wall!
I was ready to put this fellow in a state of pain when I saw his whole face covered in blood!
He had bruises on his forehead and was terrified!
“What the…” I uttered but froze.
The fellow was already was halfway in his wolf form.
What’s happening?
“Very good, ” I heard a familiar voice coming from the same passage the bleeding man had ran out from.
When I turned, I met Alpha Woods and four other men walking up to me.
The huge Alpha with his white hair, grinned with delight as he pointed at the fellow in my hold and said to me, “I like your swiftness, Alpha Damian. You’re going to make a fine boss in no time.”
His words pleased me. Finally I’m before the man who’ll transform my whole lifelife into something wonderful.
With pride, I asked, looking at the bleeding man in my grip, “Is he a spy?”
“No, he’s more of a foolish guard who went against my order, forgetting the consequences that lies behind his crime,” Woods said, standing next to me.
So, this isn’t an enemy but a guard who crossed paths with his Alpha’s Wrath?
And I thought he was from the enemy side.
Woods patted me on the shoulder to let go off his prey. I did as he wanted, allowing the bleeding wolf to fall to the ground, trembling and crying out fearfully for mercy.
“I won’t repeat my mistake again, I swear!” He begged, holding the Alpha by the leg.
But instead of getting mercy, Woods pulled out a gun from his suit, placed it on the latter’s head and pulled the trigger.
Right in my very eyes, I saw how the head of this fellow came scattering to pieces! His flesh splashed around and even fell at the side of my lip!
The horrible act from the Alpha stunned me to the core! What crime did he commit that requires such punishment?
“Dispose his body,” Woods ordered his guards, tossing the gun to the ground.
He looked at me and gave out a grin, placing his hand on my shoulder again, leading me into the same passage he came out from.
I felt disgusted from what I just witnessed and immediately wiped off that flesh from my face.
“How was your journey, Alpha?”
“Really good, ” I responded, glancing at Henry who came walking at my right hand side.
“Looks like you couldn’t come with your Luna. Did she say no or is there something else?” He asked, making his feet sound on the wooden floor.
I smiled and said, trying to make a good impression of myself, ” My wife just wants to enjoy her sleep. I didn’t want to disturb her that’s why I’m here on my own. It’s really early for her to get out of bed.”
“Oh, giving her the special treatment huh? I see, ” Woods chuckled, leading me into a room.
I stepped in and picked the scent of blood and flesh around. I hovered my eyes and noticed strange weapons on the floor, stained with blood.
Seems this is what was used to bruise that wolf before he was killed.
The Alpha offered me a seat on a dark sofa and said as he sat with me, “You don’t have to be worried, Alpha Damian. You’re in good hands.”
I smiled at that statement.
“Linda has already told me about your readiness to be a part of this business. And I’m sure there’s no need for me to lecture you on what you’ll be doing. She must have given you an ear full.”
“A lot, ” I said, causing the Alpha to chuckle.
“I trust her. She’s a very good friend,” He said, pulling out a pocket knife from his pocket and digging it into the arm of the chair.
“You see Alpha, I’m only doing what Linda says because you’re a part of her family and the son in law to my business partner Raymond De Great.”
Oh? They are business partners?
That means the old man doesn’t even know he’s working side by side with a harden Mafia Boss!
I bet it’s Linda who made them close, painting Woods as a friend. That man doesn’t know what is happening right under his nose.
“I am a fan of De Great Family. They are like my favorite wolves when it comes to business and reputation.”
“Yeah, you’re right about that, ” I supported, remembering my first interest in being Raymond’s son in-law and business associate.
“And that’s why I agreed to Linda’s request. I want to help you, Alpha Damian.” He flashed a smile, snapping his finger.
A guard came into the room with two glasses of beer and served it to us.
“Drink up, Alpha. After today, your whole story will change. Celebrate your success,” He chuckled, gulping down his drink.
I smiled, feeling good about this.
After taking a drink from my glass, Woods said, throwing his glass into the corner and allowing it shatter into pieces, “We’re expecting a new batch of the substance real soon. So, I want you to tell me where you wish to build your secret business and how you want everything to go. What kind of ladies are you looking for? Just mention it and I’ll set them up for you.”
“I’m impressed with your generosity, Alpha Woods. You really love my family to the core,” I observed.
Woods shrugged with pride, grinning at what I said.
I appreciated his help, drinking the rest of my beer with a big gulp.
So easy. And I thought it was going to be stressful. This is so great. I can’t wait to start.
How soon will I get the drugs in my hold? When will I see all these beautiful ladies he wants me to control?
I can’t help the excitement I’m getting.
Just then, Woods asked, switching into seriousness, “What’s your relationship with Alpha Diego? ”
On hearing that name, my countenance change.
I looked at the Alpha and noticed how focused he was on this question he just asked. The mood he gave made me uncomfortable. In fact, the room became hot.
“I got an information about you and Crescent’s Alpha being somehow close. He’s even in the same hotel with you and your wife.”
“Um, that’s true, ” I responded, glancing at Henry again.
He stood at the corner like a bodyguard, acting different while watching Woods and I talk.
I narrowed my brows at him and said to the Alpha, “We’re not actually close. The only problem is that Alpha Diego has a relationship with Raymond De Great’s daughter, Anastasia. And they have… ”
“Anastasia?” Woods uttered her name in surprise.
His eyes came large, like a cord was struck in him or something.
I confirmed, explaining what had really led to Anna’s entanglement with the Alpha.
“He says she’s his mate. They are really close,” I added that part, feeling disgusted just by calling her his mate.
Woods hummed at this. He didn’t say anything further about the matter and smiled, patting me on the shoulder.
Then he advised me to head back to the hotel and wait for his call. “I’ll let you know when it’s time to get your goods. Welcome aboard.”
He extended his hand out for a shake, and I immediately took it in my hold, shaking hands with the Alpha.
I wanted to feel real good about this successfully meeting but somehow I couldn’t.
I don’t know if it’s because of how the Alpha questioned my relationship with that dirt bag or if it’s because of his reaction to Anna’s affair with Diego.
What’s going on in that head of his?
