Leo."You already agreed to be friends with him and get him on our side, why did you change your mind?"“Alpha, sorry to interrupt you,” Jason's voice came rushing into the living room. My Beta, who is in charge of the Pack's daily welfare. He is always on the lookout and he is obtainable, "What is it, Jason?" I asked, not prancing an inch from where l was lying down."Alpha Roosevelt of the Litha Moon Pack is here to see you.""What is he doing here? I don't remember inviting him. So he travelled all the way from the north to pay an unexpected visit and that means something must be up.""I can send him away if it is not convenient enough for you to meet him,” Auden suggests."There is no need, Auden. I'm sure he has a reason to be here. Jason, go ahead and send him to my office and you, Zena. Let's talk about this some other time and stop thinking about how to use people to your advantage.”"Don't act like a saint, you know we will be needing his help sooner or later. And make haste,
Mason.The soft breath that warms a spot on my chest had me opening my eyes slowly.I sighed under my breath as Kai snuggled close to me, he was well covered yet he still felt cold. Is he always this clingy?My heart melted totally as l fiddled with his soft and moist curled hair. It's been a while since we slept together like this for a long time. Just when I decided to spend more time with him, we had to hurry here for that man's birthday party.I feel scared that he might grow up to be dependent on his nanny. I don't want him to hate me like I hate my Father. I sat up hastily and felt a hand around my waist. I knew this time that it wasn't Kai at all, he was too tender to grip me this hard.I left a tiny kiss on Kai's forehead and got out of bed. Ignoring Andrew to his upswings.I knew he placed Kai between us so I wouldn't have to be worried about him and to reassure me that we could spend our time like a family but that is farfetched. I don't want to expect anything from him.I a
Mason.I scooted in the direction of Kai's voice, covering my hand on my bulge and walked in awkward steps.“Kai?" I hurried to get a hold of him as he kept rubbing his eyes with his little hands, “How are you feeling, Kai?" I grunted, writhing his hair backwards. "I'm fine, Papa. I saw the other Papa in my dreams. I thought I would not see you again when I woke up and this is not our house, Papa.""Kai, don't worry we are safe. This is Uncle Andrew's temporary apartment, we will be heading back home soon.""Papa, Are you alright? You seem to be sweating a lot.""Papa had some warm-up before heading to the kitchen. I need to keep fit to take care of you,” l lied through gritted teeth."Papa…”"Hold on a minute Kai,” I try to think clearly now, “Did you say you saw another Papa in your dreams? Who could it be? Do you remember who you saw? I thought I was your only Papa?"He laughs, clapping his hands, “Papa that saved me from the swimming pool.""How can you address him like that? I'm
Mason.Mr Roosevelt and l have spoken on the phone a few times about business here and there. I thought he would be a middle-aged man with a moustache but he turned out to be a young fairy goddess walking in a male form. He is beautiful.My father gave a sign for them to take a seat. Leo sat opposite me while Roosevelt sat beside him. I barely could look in Leo's direction for some unknown reason.Can l just ask him if he came to the hospital and if Kai by any chance saw him? What if he thinks of me as a nuisance or someone that asks the irrelevant random question with no proof at all and besides they look so good together?I wonder if they are married or maybe they are still in the closet as they don't have a ring on their significant finger. I'm such an idiot.I have been so quiet for so long that I should say something, at least apologise to Leo again for the accident that occurred last time. "Welcome, Mr Roosevelt. It is a pleasure to finally meet you.” I send my hand forward my h
Mason."Gentlemen, I think the game is about to start. Shall we?” My father said, getting on his feet.I stood up reluctantly, still placing my hands on the table. My father walked away and Roosevelt joined him immediately.My mind hitched to stop Leo for an unknown reason. I don't know why, maybe to probably apologise since he did not accept my apology conceivably.But what if he just downright turns me down? That would mean I'm just shameless and whatever my father said about me was true.I quietly joined them and walked behind Leo. The ground was the only place my eyes could rest and I shuffled mindlessly.Thankfully I paused on my steps in time because I almost bumped into Leo. I didn't realise he had stopped walking."Are you alright?” Leo said, hurling his body around to face me. " I'm okay? Why did you ask?” I snorted timidly."Is everything alright there Leo?” Roosevelt shrieked."Will join you soon,” Leo retorted.I wondered if l was intruding. Are they on a date or something
Mason.The centrepiece had a wooded lot with all numbers on it. I sat alone on the two-seater couch. Leo and Roosevelt sat in the next two-seater by the right side.My father didn't come with us which meant he would be watching from afar. I sat nervously and crossed my legs together.I felt heat erupt from my body as it did when my father talked down to me earlier. I don't know why my father wants me to bid for this malignant weapon, he didn't even tell me a specific amount to deal off on.I let my eyes drift slowly in Leo's direction. He seemed so unbothered. I didn't miss when Roosevelt flicked some stray hair off Leo's face.Is Roosevelt so insecure that he thinks if he doesn't touch Leo for a minute someone would steal Leo away from him?Tch, I'm sure my father will soon notice them. They are the type he hates the most, gay people.The faint light went dimmer, the door by the side clicked open and an uncountable number of people came inside. I barely recognised a few of them.Mr V
Leo.The light on the stage wholly went off and a brighter light lit up the entire room.The murmurs and chatting increased in the room. I glance randomly at how the humans flocked around Mason and how uncomfortable he felt. He was nudging uneasily on his seat as he was surrounded.I chuckled at his nervous polite face, he is so easy to read."Shall we go back, Alpha?" Roosevelt said.I know I had no intention of leaving in a hurry. Well, at least until Mason leaves first.I didn't say a word to Roosevelt and kept gazing at Mason. I'm worried about him. I wish he didn't have to buy the landmines. From what I have seen today I wish he could defend himself more often.Although his relationship with his father is quite an eye-sore, I don't believe any father will hate his offspring. He is the one to love Mason before anyone else, l don't understand what their issue is and I hope they settle it before they punch each other in the face.It is wrong to go against an Elder, l didn't miss his
Mason.I tossed the bidding lot to the table gasping for breath.I won! But that won't make my father look at me any different. Although the bidding went rather too easy now that I think about it.Leo obviously gave up because Roosevelt asked him to. The dark murky gang didn't talk much like they had other ulterior motives, did l win too easily or on purpose?I let out a sharp breath apprehensively, l feel so uneasy.As if the bidders didn't bid much, as if l was the one putting up a show.My eyes picked up on Mr Vinci, “Hi, Mr Vinci,” l greeted, not getting up from my seat."Congratulations on getting that, you did well,” He praised me calmly and walked out. l bowed slightly and respectfully to his nice words.Phew!Ruby, the daughter of A.E Automobiles walked up to my seat with two other unknown girls and sat on my seat."Long time no see, Mason,” Ruby greeted me."Yeah, quite a long time,” I retorted awkwardly."I didn't expect to see you here. Well, I guess both our fathers have a
