Bryan Pov:
"For the second time, son. Your inauguration is on Monday. "Dad declared.
"Dad, can you cancel it. I'm not really ready for it, "I said. I will try to convince him. I have many plans right now.
"What?! You are cancelling it again? Bryan Dwane Davidson! "he shouted at me. I know, I know this will happen.
"Dad, I already said to you that I'm not interested in this position. You might give Brenda a chance. "I look at Brenda who is in the backyard trying to train hard. Digging up for her dreams. Her dream to be an alpha. But Dad didn't give her a chance to be one because she's too fragile.
"You know that your sist-"
"Dad, I know that, "I calmly said to him. I stood up. "I don't want to be an alpha right now. I'm in... Mess. Many questions popped in my mind. And another thing dad... I met the Queen of Brossempoy personally. He asked me to accompany her sometimes. I can't decline her favor, "I explained. I saw Dad swallowed hard. His face fainted.
"Are you okay, Dad? "I worriedly asked.
"I-I'm okay. By the way, what did she said to you? "
"Well, she's just telling me about his son he lost after the war. I pity her, Dad. Even how powerful she is, she's still sad and mourning. "
"I wish, she will find her peace and happiness, "I said. The one I played a role in the masquerade party is her son. Her son is Prince Braxton Wright who is now nowhere to find after the universal war. In her stories, I now know how lonely her life. How their lost affect her and her mate's connection.
He sat on his chair. "Fine, "he said finally.
"I will grant your wish in one condition. "
"What is it, dad? "I asked. "Just make sure you'll not put me in a fixed marriage, "I said.
"Meet our new business partner. Meet the Tylenolian, Bryan. They are eager to meet you especially Alpha Elyssa. "
I sighed. She's really determined to get my attention huh. Then let's play the game they are preparing for me. Let's see who will win in the end.
"No monkey business dad, "I warned. He laugh. "Of course, son. I know that you already have your mate so who am I to do some nasty thing, "he said.
...
This past few days I became busy. I didn't go to my class and even didn't have a chance to visit my friends. Its to messy and busy here in my dad's office that's why. And besides, he is training me to be a leader.
And this is the day I will met personally the Tylenolian Pack lider.
"Good morning, Mr. David! Glad you are here, "said Mr. Wentworth.
"Oh, Good morning Mr. Elthon Wentworth. It's nice to meet you! "I said in return. I saw Elyssa walk to my direction. And when she reached me, she immediately clasped her arms to my arms.
"Hi babe! It's nice that you are here. You really can't resist me, "she seductively said.
Dad cleared his throat and everyone's attention come to him. "Okay, gentleman's and ladies, let's have a sit and talk to our business. "
We sat on our respective places. And as Elyssa, she sat beside me and didn't live me. Godness! I hope this meeting will finish as soon as possible. I can't be with this creature.
"So, about our business. Our business will be stronger as metal if we merge it. "
"Just merge, but, I don't want some nasty suggestion Mr. Wentworth. "he laugh.
"Oh, it's not nasty Mr. Davidson. "
"Well, if the Wentworth and Davidson merged. You need a strong bond. What if, we use marriage for it to be st-"my fist clenched. This... Is I don't like the most.
"Our business will be strong enough without that. Please, do respect me and my mate. I have a mate and I love her. If you can't be our business partner in a peaceful way, then I won't. You can find other partners anyway. "
"Bryan! "dad shouted at me.
"What dad? Didn't we talk about this? That I don't want a fucking fixed marriage. I don't want to be under that thing. "I saw Elyssa's reaction.
"Oh, you have. "Mr. Wentworth suddenly said. He laugh. "It's just a mate. You can unmate her anyway, "
"You are too selfish. Well, if this will be the subject of our meeting then I will adjourned it. You know I can be a business partner. But I can't be a groom in a loveless marriage. "
"But I love you Bryan!"Elyssa insisted.
"I don't love you, Elyssa. It's just a one-sided love, "I said.
"Who is your lucky mate and why are you so consistent and confident to refuse my offer? "Mr. Wentworth asked.
"Do you know the word 'RESPECT' then you if you know, you understand it. "I said and walked away.
"She's a powerful being. And you don't want to messed up with her. And if you are really dying to know her, then find her in your own way. "I faced them for the last time.
"But I tell you this..."I pointed them and give them a warning look.
"Once you lay your hands to her, I will surely kill you. And if you try to kill or hurt her. Expect your pack will be vanished, "I said and opened the door. I walked out of the room.
I don't like this moment. Oh wait... I remember my mate.. How can I say sorry to her and make her feel happy right now in exchange of my disappearance for 3 days. I didn't show up for three fucking days! I hope she is not upset or mad at me.
I still need to apologize for what I acted last days. I immediately go out of the building and went home straight.
I spotted James on my backyard, waiting for me. "Oh, you are still alive. Why didn't you show your face to us this past few days huh? "he sarcastically said to me.
"Tsk. "
"I'm just busy with some business thingy, "I said. "How is she? "I asked him.
"Oh-ho-ho, you asked her first while I'm the one who visited you. Oh, I'm upset now, "he mocked.
"Tsk, just answer. Then I will ask how are you after this, "I said. He rolled his eyes. I just laughed with his reaction. "Oh, I'm touch with your sincere concern to me. "
"By the way, she is fine. But yesterday, I never saw her in their house. So, I guess, until now she's not yet home. "I frowned. Where did she go?
"Do you know where she is? I-is she mad at me? "
"I don't know bro. If you want to know, ask Nathan. And about that... She's not mad bro. She's freaking worried to you, "he said.
"Now, ask me how am I, "he mimicked.
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, how are you bro? Did you already find your mate? "I asked. Instead of he puke for my question he went silent.
I tapped his shoulder and waved my hand. "Hey! James to Earth! Are you still there? "I asked.
"Oh, I'm... Honestly I'm not fine. "I saw his smile.. A bittersmile for the very first time.
"My mate I just found lately... Reject me and treat me like a trash just because of my position in this society, "he said.
