Chapter Nineteen – Mourning.
(Sparks Moon Alpha’s House)
The whole environment is filled with melodious music from a harp, played by two young women wearing thin flowing dresses.
Their eyes are covered with dark makeup and they looked like they were mourning.
A small girl dressed in shorts and summer shirts, blonde haired and plump, ran into the courtyard where the young women were playing and jammed their both heads together.
The women groaned and fell to the ground making the small girl laugh devilishly and strolled towards the pool.
“Alpha, tell your little whores to leave or I’d move them. Enough of them polluting the environment with sad melodies!” she slapped a body floating on the pool.
One of the women, rubbed her head, instantly getting a headache after the collision.
She raised her head and cursed at her. The small girl turned using her wolf hearing to hear her, her eyes narrowed, “Me? Bastard?”.
The woman shook her head, bowing. The other quickly ran off with their musical instruments.
“How dare you call me a bastard. Wanna die huh!” before the small girl could pounced on her victim, the body that was at rest in the pool, wrapped an arm around her small body.
“Run!” the Alpha said to the woman and she took to her heels. The small girl calmed herself but bit on the Alpha’s arms to free herself.
“Argghh! Cherry. If not you’re my cousin, I’d throw you away sometimes!” he scolded, “But head bump was gold” he smirked.
Cherry flipped her hair, landing on the floor after he had thrown her away. “I told you being 5’2 isn’t a curse” she bragged.
She followed her cousin’s footsteps, into the house, then both stopped at the dining room.
“Hmm. Your cooks haven’t brought dinner yet? They take you for granted cos you whore around with them. You whore around everything in this house. Except me”.
The Alpha gave her an eye and shook his head, “I don’t feel like eating Cherry. It’s not my cooks. But if you feel like eating, ask Henry”.
Cherry zapped out to the kitchen then zapped in, holding a cake in plate, “Not bad” she meant the cake, “Also, I just realized you have male cooks so might've not been whoring them. My bad”.
Seeing him silent, she further chattered, ”So why don’t you wanna eat? This tastes really good” she took another bite.
“I am mourning, Cherry. I lost the bid. I lost my secretary. And I lost the future of my company. Not to add I lost three pack members, but they aren’t important. I lost all these in one day. And I feel… I’d lose more soon”.
Cherry nodded absentmindedly, “You know, I am totally used to you being this pessimistic but this sounds deeper. Cause of these losses is a thirty-three year old widow right? Like I'm so much a feminist but let that old lady go sit down and stop causing trouble, right?”.
The Alpha huffed, rubbing his tired eyes. He didn’t need motivation from his mischievous fifteen year old cousin.
He needed to get his hands on that bid and on that stupid human boy that tricked his secretary.
Like he was aware, for some reasons, his secretary was addicted to younger human boys but for her not to know the difference between her sugar baby and a CEO was alarming.
The Alpha couldn’t fathom how the human CEO created such a sick yet elaborate plan.
“Johnson!”.
The Alpha was startled, he glared at Cherry. She smiled, bending her head towards the door where a warrior wolf was coming.
“You have visitors bro. You two should talk about the next plan to destroy the evil villain!” she mused dramatically before leaving for the swimming pool.
Johnson smiled, watching her leave. At least she was one thing he couldn’t lose. She didn’t have a choice but to stick to him like glue. Sometimes he appreciated, many times he didn’t.
“My Lead Warrior, do you come with good news? No? return” he joked, the warrior bowed.
“Hmm. You’re in mourning too” Johnson commented as he saw the Lead Warrior’s freshly shaved head, he sent sympathies but the wolf rebuffed them.
“Your plan was what led to the death of my twin brother, Alpha. And I learnt the plan wasn’t even elaborate enough to be a plan!” the Warrior Wolf advanced to the Alpha. Johnson narrowed his eyes at him.
“It was a distraction!” the Warrior barked and evident pain was in his voice.
Contempt and anger were rising in Johnson's eyes as he gazed upon the Warrior Wolf.
“I lost a warrior and my brother and some girl, you lost pack members for a distraction, Alpha. Have you lost your mind, exactly?!”.
That was it. A deafening growl came out from Johnson that made the warrior bend low and whimper.
Johnson's claws left it’s place and before the warrior wolf could beg, his Alpha slapped him across the face with them, leaving a four fingerprint bloody scar.
“Now you have the scar of all those who dare defy me. Count yourself honored!” Johnson spoke with gritted teeth.
The warrior wolf held unto his shattered face, “I… I am sorry, Alpha. I was just affected by my brother’s death. It won’t happen again. ”.
Johnson’s temper cooled and his claws went back to their place, “Also, Alpha Luciana killed your brother not me… ”.
“I understand” the Warrior wolf interrupted, not interested in the Alpha’s blame shifting game.
Johnson shrugged, “And as the Alpha, your Alpha. My wish is your command, isn’t it?” he smirked. The warrior wolf nodded.
After a moment silence the warrior wolf spoke, “They could be a way to get back the bid. But it must be discrete. The Pure Silver model, Garcia, has an upcoming birthday party”.
Johnson’s eyes had softened at the mention of Garcia, he turned his full attention to the Warrior Wolf, “Okay. Details. How do we get in?”.
“Well, unless those she invites, there’s an offer for her hardcore fans who could pay $10,000 to attend her party. That’s our cue” the wolf smirked.
Johnson smirked as well. His little mate was really having the fun of her life. He almost hated to ruin it. “I presume you have secured tickets?”.
The warrior wolf nodded.
“Then get wolfsbane ready”.
The wolf raised a brow, “Um… wolfsbane? To a party where more than half can be wolves? And why do we need it? It’s dangerous”.
“What do you think we want to do there. Play with them? Find a liquid wolfsbane with no scent. We have a party to crash”.
He pat his shoulders and headed to his pool.
