Chereads / Mated To The Four Masters / Chapter 2 - The Old Prick

Chapter 2 - The Old Prick

"Why don't you love me, I've loved you for ten years now, you should love me back, James, I deserve to be loved!"

"I'm sorry, Angelica, but I don't love you. No matter how hard I try, I just can't bring myself to love you, I'm so sorry."

"Cut!" The movie director said. The actor and actress both walked away from the filming set.

"Is the scene okay with you, Manager?" The director asked.

I breathed a massive sigh, nodded my head Without response.

"I take it as a yes," the director said, smiling.

"Let's wrap up for today, everyone did a good job.

I couldn't get more relieved, knowing the love scene had finally come to an end. There's this irritation I get whenever a love scene is being shot.

I hardly get satisfied with it, so I make them do it all over again, and again.

I was still not satisfied with it. But letting them go another round would only be me wasting my time.

"Manager, I'm glad you like my scene, I'm so grateful, to you."

I took a quick glance at the actress who had just shot in the love scene a while ago without saying a word.

"Uhm, if it's not too much of a bother, can I buy you a drink, Manager?"

I took another quick glance at the brunette with an oversized foam bra shooting out of the thin linen dress she was putting on.

"I think he needs to drink more, I took my gaze to the man who had just finished filming with her. He had been staring in my direction the whole time. I guess he was dying to as her out.

The moment she turned around to see who I was talking about, I quickly walked away.

I switched on my computer after getting to my office. A message popped on my screen, I clicked on the message to read what it said.

"Let's get together this weekend, Alpha bro, Damson and Trevor will be coming as well. "

I rolled my eyes the minute I saw the named of my other brothers on the screen. These brothers of mine are naturally born headaches. But then, they are the only family I've got left, and I cherish them with everything in me.

When our parents died, it dawned on us that our days of freedom were over. We had to get to work. Mine was worse because I had to carry on two responsibilities, one was being the Alpha of the Grey wood pack and the second was being the Manager of my filming agency. I was an actor and model, but after I took the position of Alpha, I had to stop acting and focus more on managing my company and doing Alpha duties.

A light knock on my office door snapped me off my thoughts.

I took my gaze to the door where my secretary walked in.

"Manager, these are the new movie contracts that needs to be reviewed and signed."

"You can keep them on the table, will do that as soon as I can."

"Okay manager," Amanda quickly exited the room without turning back. At least that was a sensible lady.

I can't count how many of my Secretaries I had to sack or lay off work. All the ones I hired in the past were always out to seduce me, even the ones who already had a mate. Good thing I finally saw a sensible lady who I could trust.

Trevor did something good for once by sending me, Amanda. She's been diligent in her work ever since a year ago, I employed her.

I quickly picked up the files to go through them, just then, I remembered I still had some pack matters to attend to at the pack.

Well, doing my job was never a problem for me. This is who I am and I have long accepted my mate. In my world, there was nothing like being tired or going out for leisure.

I contemplated on what to do at that very moment. Reviewing the files was important, attending to pack matters was also very important. But if I'm to choose, I'd rather go with pack matters.

As I was taught by my father while I was growing up. Pack matters are indispensable and cannot be delayed for any reason. With that in mind, I quickly stood up and dashed out of my office.

"Amanda, you can go home when you're through. I need to attend to the significant for now. Do not touch the files on my desk, it haven't been reviewed yet," I said.

"Alright, Manager. Have a wonderful day."

I walked out of the office and quickly beeped my driver, Ken.

Ken, who received my message, immediately walked to the car and held the door out for me. I hopped him and without bring told what to do, he drove down to the pack.

*******

Getting to the pack, I met Damson walking towards me with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, brother, never thought you'd be here."

"Likewise. I thought you'd be out working in your gaming company."

"Well, I thought so too, but I got called by the delta."

I creased my brow in a frown.

"What's going on?"

"Don't know yet, let's head to the meeting room. Ryan is already there waiting for us."

Without delay, I followed Damson to the meeting room.

Ryan lit up when he saw Damson and I approach.

"Greetings, Alpha, and beta," Ryan slightly lowered his head.

"Tell us, what's going on, Ryan? I asked immediately as I walked briskly to my seat.

"It's Alpha Gerald, again. He sent his soldiers to pass you a message again," Ryan explained.

"That old prick! He just wouldn't give up, is he?" Damson asked to know one in particular, whine, looking terribly pissed.

"What is the message all about?" I asked curiously.

"He said to tell you that he isn't scared of a fight. He wished you would hand over the pack to him."

"I swear I'm going to kill that old man, if I ever set eyes on him.

I shook my head, knowing it was of no use.

"Since he wants the pack, he might as well come get it himself." Damson took a sharp glance at me with eyes wide open.

"No, you don't mean that!"
