CHAPTER 4: REAL MASTER PLANNER
" Brooklyn" Leilani said to the taxi driver who nodded." I need to drop this luggages in the booth, I hope I'm not taking much of a hassle?" She asked giving the taxi driver an awkward smile.She was surprised when he came out from the car to put the luggages in the booth of the car." Oh, thanks sir. I actually wanted to drop it myself bu...." She tried to explain but she saw the middle aged man was just staring at her, after she paused..he bowed slightly before giving her a light how, walking to the drivers seat."Weird!" She concluded in her mind.She adjusted the sleeping child in her arms, making sure to carefully sit so to avoid bumping the child's fragile head.She settled into the taxi, sighing loudly as the taxi sped on. She and her little baby, crystal just arrived from oklahoma to NYC, the flight was quite long, her little angel probably grew tired.She smiled seeing the girl smiling in her sleep." You'll tell me what you dreamt about." She whispered in the girls hair.She looked outside the window, as she stared at the beautiful view of New York." Not bad." She murmured smiling. She glanced at the taxi driver before placing Crystal's head properly on her chest, the hair was tickling her jaw. As she was adjusting her head, her eyes swiftly caught the odd hair color on her child's blonde hair." What is this?" She muttered, her mouth unconsciously gaping. At that moment in the pack house, the Gamma knocked on the big, strong door of the Alpha's suite. Although they were friends, it still doesn't give them the right to disrespect the Alpha. There was still a very huge gap between them.*[ Come in ] *He heard the alpha's deep voice.Xander bowed in respect at the alpha whose eyes were practically telling him to go on for what he came for.The Beta drew a seat closer to himself before placing a documented file on the small table. " I think you need to see this." Xander said. " From the CEO's office." He added. The alpha glanced at the file before taking his gaze back to Xander. " You came here for this?" He asked, already knowing there was something he needs to know about that the Beta wasn't saying. The Gamma blinked, nodding his head negatively. He straightened up before clearing his throat. " Permission to ask a question?" Xander asked.Kaden lazily nodded. " Go on, stop putting me on your so called suspense mode." Kaden groaned." Alpha, did you by any chance go to the border separating our pack and the blue moon pack?" Xander asked quietly." Why?" The alpha simply replied. " Kaden, you should at least answer my question first, ahhh" Xander scoffed.He murmured quietly again. " You're quite annoying some times." Kaden gave him an ugly glare hearing what he muttered. " I guess you really have nothing to say, where's Cole?" Kaden asked, standing up from his seat." Hey alpha, what I have to say is really important, you really gotta calm down and sit." Said xander, holding kaden's wrist.Kaden freed his wrist. " What?"" Alpha wymond sent a warning notice to us yesterday, you weren't in your best mood yesterday that's the reason I kept it from you earlier." Xander explained while the alpha stared at him keenly." A warning notice?" Kaden asked, his brows furrowed." About?" He added with an already deep frown on his perfectly made face." Quite a ruckus happened at the border of Blue moon's pack and unfortunately, few lives were taken, not a single person from our pack though." Xander continued to explain, his face also etched with a frown." And what has that got to do with me? Us?" Kaden asked getting infuriated.That idiot dared to sent him a threat note." I never said a threat note, a warning note." Xander corrected." Get the fuck out of my mind." Kaden snapped blocking the mind link which made the Gamma roll his eyes which didn't suit him one bit. " I asked a question, what has the so called ruckus got to do with me?" He added." Well..." The Gamma hesitated. " We had to find out who had cause such a disaster and had the guts to kill from Alpha wymond's pack and...." Xander stopped talking, pinching the frown lines on his forehead. " And...we traced the scent, which turned out to be...em" Xander didn't know why he had difficulty in talking all of a sudden." To be... You, your highness." Xander ended bowing." What's the meaning of the trash you're speaking from your damn mouth?" Kaden yelled infuriated." What business do I even have with him to the extent of performing such a childish revenge?"He added asking no particular person in question. " He insisted you did it because of the feud between the both of you." The Beta tried to explain to the fuming Alpha.*[ Where the fuck are you bastard?!]*Xander yelled, mind linking the Beta, but he got no reply." Probably whoring around." Xander thought exhaling hot breath." What the hell are you thinking?, Your buzzing sounds are sounding all over my head!" Kaden yelled while his poor friend nodded helplessly.It wasn't his fault, was he?" I know what that fool is planning to do!.. Alpha my foot! I'll show him who the real master planner is." Kaden sneered storming out but paused.Glaring at Xander, he yelled," Get your stupid accomplice from the hole he went to hide, he should act up to his rank and stop whoring around, tell him I'm gonna whip that thing responsible for his whoring soon." Kaden yelled again before storming out much to Xander's relief." Where do I even start looking for this whore in male form?" Xander murmured gritting his teeth. ........ In a dimmed lighted room in an island, a lady stood above a man who looked like he was in severe pains. He was writhing all over the ground in pain, shifting backwards at the lady who was approaching him slowly with an evil smile on her perfect shaped lips. " How dare you?" Her melodious, yet evil voice rang in the room which made the other occupants in the room shiver slightly.Some of them glared at the writhing man on the floor, if it wasn't for him, then they wouldn't be in such a tight spot." I'm.. sorry, I..." The man tried saying but suddenly vomited quite a mass of blood." Please, spare me, forgive me please" He finally said, hot tears streaming down his eyes.The thought of the pain he would go through and the one he was passing through made the tears fall from his eyes." Really?, Forgive you?" The lady sneered mockingly.A sweet, melodious laughter rang in the air, but instead of the people around to relish the sound of the laughter, it brought goosebumps out of their skins." Tell me, why should I spare you?" She asked. " Give me a good reason why I should forgive you." She said faking remorse.At this moment, the whole floor was stained with the blood of the dying man. He could only rub his hands together, pleading silently" See!" She exclaimed. " You didn't even have a any thing to defend yourself." She said.Her mocking voice suddenly grew deadly. " I hate weak creatures like you."Before anyone could blink, she drew out a sword separating the man's head from his body.Her blood stained face looked devilishly enchanting." Package it, and.." she paused looking straight at a huge, burly man who nodded immediately.With that, she walked out of the room. .......A man who looked like he was in his early forties hiccuped slightly as he laughed loudly. There were other two men who dressed like guards, standing opposite the still laughing man." Me?" The man asked himself, laughing loudly again.He faced one of the guards whose head was deeply bowed." Does he know who I am?" The man asked the guard.The guard nodded negatively making the man nod his head with pride." Does he know who I am?" He asked facing the other guard." He doesn't, Your majesty." The guard who had a black mark on his forehead said with a grim face.Alpha wymond stood in his full height, a smug look plastered on his face." That child doesn't know what will hit him soon." He turned to the guards. " Has she taken anything today?" He asked. The guard with the black mark nodded negatively. " She refused to take anything, Alpha." Replied the guard." Follow me." He ordered.It's been years and so many things had happened, the good and the bad things. " I swear we didn't mean to at all. Things just happened all of a sudden but.....I don't regret any of it. I never did." That was Umbrie's words when Leilani got winds of things. The baffled Luna had only kept quiet as she stared at her sobbing friend. She looked up and stared at the Beta who nodded at her with a stubborn smile and she sighed. They had expected Lord Williams and the others to flip about Xander's sudden relationship with a human who wasn't even his mate but the man had gave a warm response and had welcomed his son and his new partner with a befitting smile on his face and it was finalized. Since Xander's father didn't have a problem with them then no one could either. Though, they had thought things would end there but no. Umbrie had gotten pregnant to not only Xander's surprise and happiness but to the others. Their wedding took place immediately and Umbrie became the Beta's arranged mate
" Dad, have you seen Erica since we came back?" Leilani asked, slightly worried as the maids and guards she had asked to find Erica were just coming to tell her she wasn't in the tower." No. She should be in her suite, she said she needed to take a nap." Pedro replied and Leilani gave a more deeper sigh. Erica isn't in her suite at all.She, Kaden, Erica and her father were just coming back from the prayers of Daria and her mother, Luna Ami. They had accompanied Kaden to his parents prayers too and Leilani did caught the slight guilt that appeared on her father's face but she didn't say a word and she wasn't going to.He was going to be fine, he wasn't an unfeeling pillar not to feel guilty on hearing about Kaden parents so he'd be fine. " She has a maid, doesn't she? Have you asked the maid?" Umbrie asked, she was holding Lucian and like the little man knew her since a long time ago, he wasn't getting all cranky." Aliya, right? Yes. Beryl, is Aliya around or is she also nowhere
Dane smiled as he stepped into the royal chambers where different suites of royal personalities like the Alpha, the Luna, the royal pups, Lord Duncan, the Beta and the others. Surely, he wasn't allowed to enter even though he had told the guards he just wanted to explore the area but Lord Duncan had given them the permission to allow him.He couldn't even believe it. From being an ordinary useless being in the evil hands of Wymond to being someone he was now. If he hadn't taken that courage to escape from Wymond's dungeon that day, he wouldn't have being what he was. For saving the Luna and most people lives by using his brother, Silas and by snitching on Pedro, Pedro had instead forgiven him and given him a noble title in the Ice stone pack. He was from the Blue moon pack but since no one wanted to rule on the evil seat of Wymond where he'd slain many innocent people, the Bluemoon pack had been converted into a very large market during the renovation that was still going on.He
Slowly and awkwardly, Umbrie looked away but just as she did, she locked gaze with Xander whose eyes glinted up immediately as he saw her. He looked kind of surprised too but Umbrie only bit her lips, whether he was surprised or not, it wasn't going to make any difference.The lady with him looked familiar that Umbrie's gaze lingered on her for a few minutes but suddenly she frowned. She seemed to have remembered who the lady was.That lady was the one who heartlessly pushed her off Xander that day and now she was hugging his arm? There wasn't much words to be told, she already knew who the lady might be to Xander.She stared at him again and this time, they stared at each other for a long time that seemed as if they were reading their souls but Xander broke the gaze as he raised his hand and waved but Umbrie only looked away while the Beta sighed at her behavior and unknown to him, Chantel had finished looking around and had saw the little interaction between him and Umbrie who alr
" I missed you too, my pretty girl." Umbrie replied, pecking Crystal's face all around while the girl let out short giggles like she was being tickled." Where's Uncle Logan, Aunt? Mum said he'd be coming with you." Crystal asked and Umbrie shook her head when she turned around and didn't see Logan." He was here not long ago, maybe he wandered off."" Okay." She paused but then, her face lit up. " Aunt, have you seen my brother? His name's Lucian and he's the most gorgeous baby brother ever. He looks exactly like my daddy." Crystal giggled excitedly. The pride and happiness were all over her face as she talked about her brother." Now you're increasing my urge and excitement to see him. Your mummy didn't get a replica this time." Umbrie laughed and the blonde lady only glared at her." Now Crystal, where's Eugenia? I remember telling you to show her around but you returned without her. Where's she?" Leilani turned to her daughter who let out a stressed sigh." That's it, Mum. I don
It was past the new year already and there was a small gathering but the Luna wasn't among them as she had given her pack a short visit just few days of prince Lucian's ceremony. According to Pedro, she needed to. It had been a long time the people had seen her and she needed to go see them, postponing the visit might mean she was never going to visit her pack again because the children might have grown by then and it'd be hard to leave them all one.The Luna had taken her daughter along too leaving only the frustrated but silent Alpha alone, she ought to be back before her birthday celebration which would be celebrated in the tower so Leilani didn't take long in the Ice stone pack.As for Chantel, Xander planned to speak a few words to her father during the Luna's birthday celebration, he wasn't invited but he'd surely tag along with the way he loved parties. He didn't come to the cross over celebration though and they seemed to know why, it wasn't a vicious celebration like a bir
