"Lora!" Helene called out as if a sudden epiphany had just hit her, "I need you to check Mansion contact for the last 6 months
leave no stone unturned, I need nothing else other than result and call off the move on infiltrating Mansion circle
if I know my brother too well, he would began a terrifying sieving in his inner circle and a mad replenishment for the lost"
"yes mam, but do we have to worry about Mansion replenishment at the moment? there is a rule that guild this region and the ....."
"don't forget those rules have little to no effect on the Wade's, others would have to keep to the rules strictly to avoid trouble but we always have a way of pulling a wool over what we intends to do
Mansion has lost something truly precious to him and I doubt he would sit quietly on this one
one thing I'm sure of is, this city is about to be plunge into further darkness.
all we can do is try not to get caught in-between while also looking out for opportunity to fish on this muddy water about to stir"
Lora didn't say anything further, she ended the call and went about her business on her end leaving Helene to ponder over her future actions.
at the same time, news of Mansion near assassination had gotten to Mary and Victor hands and they had rushed over to the family main house having an important meeting with Eunice.
"look Eunice, I know this is too much to ask of you right now but we are out of options
I intend to let the boy grief a little before pulling him into the true meaning of wade but things are spiralling out of control"
"Victor is right Eunice, with this attempt on Mansion life and the death of Jerry, mansion would be forced to break one of the rules set up by the council
with Alexander gone and the king sit open for the taking, the other families would take this excuse to pick up a fight " Mary chipped in in a worried tone.
"the Wade's have been around for centuries and have always wave through every storm aimed at them, now would be no exception too" Eunice argued her case
"we can't pull Alex into this cruel reality of the Wade's name"
"but he is a Wade for crying out loud Eunice, it's in his blood. that is who he is, there is nothing to be done about it.
if we don't pull him in now, he would still be pulled in one way or the other in the nearest future" Victor argued back
"I refus..." Eunice wasn't even able to finish her retort when Mary growled at her angrily, her nail elongated an so did her canine as her eyes changed along side too
"don't forget your place Eunice, you are not a Wade. I suggest you take the respect thrown at your feet as our kind gesture".
"Mary!" Victor called out to her, pulling her back as her features returned to normal once again.
"sorry, I didn't mean to be so forgetful on you Eunice, you just have to see things from our own perspective" Mary tries to calm the shivering Eunice who has obviously being affected by an alpha demeanor.
"when you married into the wade family, you already signed up for what is to come Eunice. also you aren't a stranger to this dealing as you also comes from a similar family
If it were your family in this situation like we are, would you insist the family fall apart just because you wish for an ordinary life for your beloved son?"
Eunice fixed her gaze on the floor, Wailing bitterly within herself. she hasn't felt this attached to any of her kids since she knew first hand they are all Wade's
but Alex was just different, from the moment he was born, there is something about him that got everyone attracted to him
something that makes everyone love and wants to protect him and who would have this feeling more intensified other than a mother
she is just following her heart but the truth can't be denied, this is something that ought to be done.
"what if I suggest something else, I know it's not a lasting solution but for now it's the best option to play safe. once everything calmed down, you can take him and treat him to everything the Wade's entails."
Victor and Mary stare at each other for a while before nodding in agreement to hear Eunice out. "so what do you have in mind?" Victor asked as he pulled Mary to have her sit beside Eunice.
Mansion mind was in a turmoil, sited in his office he was boiling with rage. the thought of the assassination still fresh in his mind as he couldn't stop to think about what would have happened if he were to be around.
had he not delayed at the Noah, what would have become his fate? for someone to be able to take down his men with ease and swiftly too
that group must be a pretty strong one, what made it even more mysterious is the fact he couldn't get any information from his Intel where this attack came from.
he had even borrowed the connection of others in the city, the best of best who got source deeply rooted in the city and environs but nothing came out.
it's like the assailant is a ghost, never existed.
"I just got off the phone with the Carlson's and its just like before Mansion, they have no clue who dare attack us"
"nonsense!" Mansion roar angrily at Mark, "it has to be someone, someone daring enough to ignore the might of the Wade's and who else could it be other than a Wade?"
"as much as I want to agree with that statement, the facts are making it extremely important we don't jump into conclusions without proper proof"
"they killed Jerry Mark, Jerry is dead and that's enough proof. you and I know Jerry's role in our pack, he is special. a Goldeneye w..."
"but he was easily taken down along other members of the pack, Jerry isn't just strong but fast to. I dare say he is the fastest wolf of the pack due to his special constituent
he is hell faster than I am but he couldn't escape from the situation when he found it dire
neither can we rule out the fact it wasn't a snick attack pulled on them, there was battle and they lost"
Mansion calm down into his sit once more, he had the entire scene properly investigated to ensure he wasn't going on blind but the results has left everyone dumbfounded.
"Terry would be in town soon, I don't know how he would feel being welcome with the news of his twin brother's death"
Mark felt a weight on his shoulder when he heard this, he is very much aware of Terry eccentric nature that got him sent out of town by Mansion.
"having a timberwolf on the lose is one of the things this city needs at the moment, he won't take it lightly once he finds out"
"you are the alpha Mansion, no matter how eccentric he is, he still got to listen to his alpha
that's the blessing of being a Wade, they are family of alpha"
Mansion gave Mark a fuzzy look, one he knew too well. "don't tell me you actually desire Terry to be on the lose"
Mansion shook his head in deniance but his twitching eyes didn't escape Mark observation.
"Terry is a lose cannon Mansion, setting him lose on this city would stir up the reaction of other wolf clans
it would become a blood bath, one we can't afford to incur at the moment. we need a level head and clear step to be ahead of our game
one wrong move and we've lost everything and when I say everything, it's not just losing to your sister but losing the Wade's family heritage to some random nobody cunning enough to outsmart you all using device against you"
"it doesn't matter"
"well I'll it does" a third person joined the party, it was none other than Lucy Noah
"what do you want" Mansion growl at her, intimidating her with his alpha aura. she paused for a while before ignoring him when the pressure mount on her has fade off.
"My alpha sent me over to assist you since you both had come to a mutual understanding, take it as him saving his interest in business" Lucy helped herself to a sit.
Mark couldn't be anymore grateful, with the level of fury running through Mansion head. there isn't any possible way to get him back to clarity from his angle.
"and what help do you intend to offer?"
"simple, my special ability as a seer wolf and a little heads up on the move of the council.
it should be in your notice the council is make plans since the death of your father, what you fail to realize is the fact they have break into faction and each nominating a candidate for the position of king."
"they aren't just planning to challenge the right of kings but also the power chain." Mark caught on quick to what Lucy said
