Ch. 12

SERGIUS

The meeting was soon over, and everyone left the premises quietly, leaving me alone at the throne, thinking furiously. “Yvonne had hesitated to go but she still left. I guess she was trying to show me how pissed she was, but at this point, I never really gave a fuck. All I wanted is to get this over with. It was already pissing me off to the very core.” 

At that moment, my beta rushed in. Standing at a corner, he noticed I was so lost in thought as I laughed. 

“I am not so lost in thought that I did not notice you coming in,” I said to him sarcastically as he laughed.

“I’m sorry, I just wanted to know how long we’re going to sit in that position and continue to tap your leg furiously. I know you’re thinking of every position and every way to find her, but I have good news for you,” he said as I stood up almost instantly.

“What? You found her? Where is she? Bring her to me now. I want her now,” I said angrily as he slowly walked towards me.

“You have to calm down, Alpha. ‘I found her’ does not mean I can bring her. She’s in a place where I don’t have access to, and you don’t have authority to, and it’s really, really going to be hard to get her out of there,” he said to me as I laughed.

“The only place I can't go to now to get her out of is hell. Aside from that, I can take her from anywhere. I am the Alpha, I have rights and I have authorities, and wherever this place is, no matter how strong and how fierce everything is there, I can still get her out,” I said to him.

He slowly walked towards me and gave me a file. 

“You know I don’t have time to read this stuff. Just say it to me,” I said to him as he shook his head sideways.

“No, it’s not something that you can just read out to me. I want you to go through it because it’s something I was also surprised by, and I thought you might not take this news to heart,” he said as I looked away, opened the file, and started going through it.

“Fiona? Yeah, Fiona. Where could she be? Huh? What? I’m confused. Southern region?” I said to my beta as he nodded.

“Yes, and so what? We can always sneak her out of there any moment and at any time. She can’t just fight a bunch of guards. We can take her from there. We can offer her anything to come back. I know she needs money; she’s desperate. Okay? That is how I was able to sleep with her, through her desperation, and I plan on using it again,” I said boldly as my beta looked away again.

“I don’t think you have read through all the words in that file,” he said to me as I looked back at the file, scanning through it.

“Huh? What? Cyprus. She is with Cyprus. How? How did that fucking happen? How is she with Cyprus? It makes no sense. This is rubbish,” I said angrily, throwing the book to the ground.

“I also thought so, but I had good intel and I tried to confirm it myself. I sent spies to confirm. She is there, and I am sorry to say this news is even sadder than what you just read. But she’s happy. She is happy. She won’t come. Whoever this Fiona is, she will not come, and she has Cyprus wrapped around her fingers. Or Cyprus has her wrapped around his finger. One of the two,” he said as I felt even more enraged.

“No. No. It cannot happen. Cyprus would do this to me. He won’t take the only thing I have left. He did this on purpose,” I said suddenly, coming to a conclusion because that was the only thing and the only reason he could have possibly taken her away from me.

“Why was it Fiona of all people?” I said angrily as my better was also speechless. 

Clearly, at that moment, the door creaked open, and Yvonne stood at the corner.

“Let’s finish this later. We are going to the southern territory. I am taking Fiona back,” I whispered to him, hoping Yvonne would not get a glimpse of any of the things we just discussed.

He nodded and raced off, leaving me alone with Yvonne as she still stood at the corner.

“You found her, huh?” she said as I laughed. 

“Found who?” I questioned the girl.

“The person who wants to make you go crazy. Who you were ready to shun all the elders because of. You were ready to go against the law because of her. You found her, huh? Now we are going to be useless to you despite everything we did. Despite how hard we tried to provide an heir for you. But because she is your fated mate, you are ready to go to the end of the world for her, huh?” she said as I laughed.

“Can you just stop? Stop using your innocence. Stop pretending, me and you know this is a pretend. Let it stay that way. You piss me off sometimes. That is the reason why I don’t even like to say things in your presence,” I said to her angrily.

“I already said it in the meeting, and I would not change my mind now. She is the one I want. She is the one I’m going to find. She is going to become the future Supreme Luna, and I am going to make sure it stays that way. I will get her from wherever she is,” I said angrily as she stayed quiet, like she was about to tear up.

“I had great expectations for you, Alpha. I thought maybe if I gave you this good news, you would be happy. But the good news didn’t even stay,” she said suddenly, crying.

“What good news? If it didn’t stay, that means it’s no longer good news. You were pregnant again?” I asked her as she nodded.

“Yes, I was. But then I lost it just after the meeting. I couldn’t bear the pain alone, and I decided to come and tell you. I know I don’t want this lady, and I don’t want to fight for your attention, for we need her if she’s the only one who would break this curse. If finally, we will be able to have a child for you without having to worry about having a miscarriage,” she said with tears in her eyes.

“Fiona, you are my only remedy at this point. I have to find you, or else everything would be ruined, and I am not ready. I am not ready. I’m not ready to lose this fight. No matter what, I won’t lose to you.”
