Chapter 18

Lucan’s POV

Never!

What does he mean by giving up my pack!? I just entered power! Nobody is going to take this pack away from me! I just only got here and this is my stepping stone. I have the power and nobody is going to take it away from me. The only thing that is allowed here is elevation. I am going to be the one conquering other packs! Nobody and I mean, nobody would conquer my pack! Not even Alpha Alfonso

I am stubborn in my mind, but physically the threat is there. I am sure that my face is betraying me by showing fear, but I act as if he is not there. I am careful about the way I speak. I don’t want to give him the wrong impression

"I understand completely," I say quickly. "I'm prepared to discuss how I can repay you."

"Repayment…” Alpha Alfonso begins to say

But before he can continue speaking, somebody comes in. My mother, Elaina. She sways her hips from the left to right seductively as she walks in with a smile that makes me wants to scream at her to turn back and leave immediately

I know that smile and I know what she wants to do. She's dressed in a very short and revealing, she has dyed her hair red - this morning when I saw her it was not red.- she has her makeup on with bright red lipstick to catch any man’s, and hair nails along and well done-they are also red. If she was not my mother, she would have gotten my attention. I would have fucked her if she was any other girl. I will give her flowers. She knows this craft of seduction so well. She is a professional in her thing, but I do not need her around this time. Whatever thing she is doing now, it is disgusting and irritating. Somebody needs to tell her this so she can run away and shame and hide

"Alpha Alfonso," she purrs as she enters. "I am so surprised to see you. I didn’t even know you were here”

Now that is a lie. I am very sure that she knew that the alpha king was around and that is why she is dressed like this. Sometimes there is no end to her foolishness

I want the ground to open and swallow me. This is exactly what I don't need right now. My mother has started again. She does not look like this her character would ever feel way. He has this stupid part of always shameless flirting. no she is flirting with Alfonso. She does not even read the room. She is making a fool of herself in front of the most dangerous alpha in the region. Is she not scared? One wrong move and she could be done for

Alfonso's expression doesn't change, but I am tested and ashamed of my mother all at once. His eyes move from my mother to me, and I see disgust in his eyes

“Who is she?” he asks me, clearly understanding what she is trying to do

“My mother,” I replied curtly

“She is interrupting us and we have important matters to discuss. Control her,” he says simply

Before I can’t even say anything, Mother speaks up as if she is not seeing that the man is being disrespectful to her period she does not put down easily and that can be bad sometimes. Foolish even.

"I was just going to check if you need anything and if the servants have attended to your needs," she says with a seductive smile. “I heard you like wine. I have vintage wines I can give you,” she winks and envelop me once again

He doesn’t reply to her. He just allow his eyes to swing between me then back to my mother

She moves closer to Alfonso, and I watch in shame, disgust and horror as she reaches out to touch his arm. She does not ever change. Period. She had his behavior even when Holland was alive. The only thing was that she was smart about it and he never caught her. Or would I say Holland was too dumb to catch her. How could he not catch her ? She practically rubbed her cheating in his face every time, but he never noticed. He was such a fool

Just when her hand would land on Alfonso's arms, he hand moves so fast like lightning and he catches her wrist in a grip that makes her gasp in shock and in pain. Then he speaks between gritted teeth

"Remove your hand."

His voice shakes my mother to her core. I can tell that she is afraid. She immediately takes back her hand. I can see that she is embarrassed. I can’t see that shade of red in her face that is not blush - the one that appears whenever she feels very embarrassed and wishes that the ground should swallow her. She brought this on herself. Why would she do such a thing in front of her son? Well, it is not a new thing to me, she has been doing it since I was a little child. Right now she is so embarrassed, but she tries to act composed even though her pale face and entire body mannerisms are giving her away. I expect her to stop, but she doesn’t stop. Instead,she tries to smile like nothing just happened

"Oh, I just wanted to make sure you are alright,” her voice shows that she is trembling

“I am alright,” Alfonso states

“But…” she tries to place her hand again

Alfonso catches her hand again and he squeezes on it. I see her wince. "You're acting like a common whore," he says, without caring. I Immediately feel ashamed of myself and this foolish woman that I call my mother. I cannot even do anything. I feel weak. This is Alfonso publicly trying to tell me that I am a weakling. That I cannot do anything, even if he insults my mother.

This woman has rubbed shame in my face. How can Alfonso call my mother and I will not be able to do anything? "It's pathetic,” he continues. “Now get out of here before I make you,” he says calmly as if it is not a threat. But my mother understands perfectly that it is a threat

My mother's is finally fully embarrassed. I can see humiliation and embarrassment on her face. When he let her go, she jerks her hand free and stumbles away, "I... I was just trying to be…" she stammers.

"You were trying to spread your legs for another powerful male," Alfonso replies coldly. "I know what you do. It is a shame that Alpha Holland fell into your trap and paid for it with his head. You are disgusting. Get out."

Tears fills mothers eyes, and she flees the room without seeing any other thing. slams the door as she leaves and I'm left alone with Alfonso and the burning shame of what just happened
