40. Back home

NOAH

“It's quite surprising and unlike you to have a mission go on for this long. What is wrong?” My father asked.

I arrived home last night to give myself a break and to have time to plan again before I return to the academy.

We are currently seated in his chambers, I had asked earlier in the morning for a moment with him which he scheduled for the evening.

“I’m certain Tyler has been updating you on what I’ve kept him updated on. It seems there’s more to this than we think and the more I dig, the more I uncover and I’m starting to think the school is the surface level and there’s a group called Dakads that I believe consists of Alpha of different pack, all who is loyal to Alpha Randolph that aid to everything that has been happening,” I explained.

“And what’s your take on it?” He asked.

“Alpha Randolph has a plan. I don’t exactly know what the plan is but my theory is, he is planning to raise an army, one that he would use to fight the part of the community that isn't for him. He’s trying to create Hybrids but has failed continually but for some reason I feel that the ones that we discovered are the ones that couldn’t possess both forms. I’m afraid he already has an army but they are not as many as he expects for now.”

“Hmmm.” My father hummed.

“I should have taken action five years ago when I could but I thought it was better to let peace reign but as it is right now, it seems my hesitation five years ago is enough to wreak havoc.”

“I looked into the school's yearly records and realized that all omegas admitted each year went missing without a trace. The school doesn’t have records of what happened but everyone inside doesn’t seem to know much. While the school claims to give our scholarship and cares for omegas, it’s all a ploy to invite them to the school, have them bullied by higher-status werewolves, and kick them out for invalid reasons so they can have them captured and used for the experiment.”

“On my first day at the school, I saved an omega who was about to be a victim of that experiment. That’s how I knew that the first place they are taken to isn’t the headquarters for their actions. It's more like an examination room,” I explained everything I have learnt so far concerning the alarming mutant situation.

“What have you gathered so far about this society called the Dakads?” My dad asked.

“I asked Tyler to look into them. I wasn’t able to get any information but they are all Alphas of different packs. I don’t know which pack though,” I answered.

I could have if Adriana didn’t piss me off. I never had her number saved on my phone but she kept calling ever since I left her place. She left text messages too but I didn’t reply to any because I meant what I said when I said I was going to cut her off and I never wanted anything to do with her again.

She was already getting on my nerves and I was tolerating her but she pushed it when she dared me and one thing I won’t ever allow is disrespect.

“You have done well. I never thought it would be as deep as this,” my father commented.

It was his little way of encouraging me every time and I appreciated it. My father was tough on me just as he was to everyone. I even felt most times he had higher expectations of me than he does for himself but he easily gets rid of those thoughts each time he commended me for my effort.

“So when will you be returning?” He asked.

“In ten days. I need time to replan before I go back there,” I answered.

“Alright son. Take your time,” he said.

“I will take my leave now.” I stood up on my feet, gave him a little bow, and walked out of his chambers.

I entered my room to see Tyler there on my he as if it was his room but I was surprised because that’s how he has always been. We grew up together and he was like a brother to me.

“How did it go?” He asked.

“It went well,” I replied.

“That’s good to hear and I’m glad you are back now. I have you to myself once again,” he said excitedly.

“Should I find a mate for you? You need to realize that we won’t get married,” I reminded him once again and he pretended to be hurt.

I chuckled at his antics.

“I know you won’t marry me not when Astrid is everywhere in your head and mind,” he retorted and upon the mention of Astrid, I couldn’t help but wonder how she was doing.

I couldn’t call or text her because I believe that my mission was first and only after I was done with it would I be able to tell her exactly how I felt about her and that she was my mate.

I thought I had it all figured out until she started and I started to stay away from her.

“You are thinking of her aren’t you?” Tyler's voice snapped me back to reality.

“I have no idea what it is that you are saying,” I denied.

He doesn’t seem convinced. “You could have made it easy for yourself if you listened to me. Confess to her that you are her mate, bring her here to start all over while you finish your task over there. That way you’ve been able to protect her and not be distracted over there too. I’m certain she likes you too.”

“You know what? Just shut up most of the time. It would do you more good than harm,” I sighed deeply.

As much as he annoys me when he speaks, he made a lot of sense but I couldn’t allow him to get to my head just yet.

“Let’s go horse riding!” Tyler suggested and I agreed because I’ve missed riding a horse.
