Chapter 4

ADRIAN'S POV

The sun seared my eyes out of my head, as it lit up at the rear of my eyelids. I staggered as I stood up lazily to see the dawn of another day. I slid the curtains to one side and took a view of the sun bursting out of its horizons. I yawned and scratched my eyes, trying to wake myself fully to life.

"Urgh!" I groaned and sat back on the bed because I was feeling extremely tired. "It seemed like I had so much to drink with this blonde." I thought as I looked beside me. She was without clothes sleeping casually like she was at home.

"Hello, Ana, you have to go now, it's morning," I said, in a slightly harsh tone. Well, not harshly though, since the drink I took was working on my voice. It's bad to know what drinking alcohol can cause.

"I still want to sleep, leave me alone," she said in some sleepy tone while rolling to my side.

"Hey, my father will be mad if he finds out I laid with a person who's not even my mate, so stand up and go!" I raised my voice at her.

"Ah! It's morning already," she complained, getting up slowly.

 "Just freshen up and leave, siren," I said, getting up. I walked up to the glass center table and grabbed my remaining bottle of whiskey, before gulping down from the bottle.

"You're still drinking?!"

"I am, so what?" I asked. "I am used to it," I said, turning to her as she wrapped herself in the sheets.

"What's that? We already were sold to each other yesterday. Leave, before my father gives half of your head to the fishes." I ordered her.

"And you would allow him to do that?" She asked, walking up to me, her soft and warm skin wrapping me up.

"I would," I said. "Just go. I don't want any trouble." I flinched.

"Why are you so upset?" Rayana asked, taking the bottle of whiskey from my hands and gulping it down.

The door burst open, with Zayn, my friend walking in. He snorted at the sight of us.

"Ah, Zayn, good you're here," I wave at him. "Just take care of her, she doesn't want to leave. She's irritating me."

"Aha, Ana. Come here, I will lead you out safely. If you're caught, I'll run away and leave you to face it alone." Zayn said to her.

"Exactly," I added, walking straight to my closet, and picking out some pairs of good clothes, and a denim jacket.

"Adrian, you know you're in hot soup," he said.

"What kind of hot soup? Seaweed? Tortellini?" I joked as I put on my clothes.

"This is not something to joke about, you know. I'm serious," he said as his expression changed. It seemed like something was wrong.

"What happened?"

"Your father, Alpha Ambrose has gotten into some feud with another Alpha. This was something I overheard from his beta."

"Ana, is this your father?" I asked. She didn't reply, rather she scoffed at me.

"Your father was aware that you were here?"

"I think so," she said in perplexity.

"Shit! And why did you come here in the first place? Hope your mate's not also aware?"

"I don't think my mate is aware," she said plainly.

"Darn it. You have to leave right now. You're in danger here. Your father has turned against my father because he is aware you're here."

"But, are you sure it's my father? He wouldn't do that."

"Do you know what happened to my past girlfriends when they were caught? They died. And I think this might go on with you if you don't leave now!" I bawled at her. She's stubborn.

"Why did she come here?" Zayn asked, looking at me. I didn't answer him as I went over to the windowsill, and spied downwards to see what was happening outside.

"The guard down there is weak, and I cannot find any pack guard. Maybe you guys can leave from the window," I suggested, looking at Zayn, who seemed less concerned.

"Zayn, maybe a knockout punch would do, and then she can escape. If you find one person, just…"

"Wait, are you speaking to me?" He rhetorically asked, getting me angrier.

"What?"

"I didn't know you were speaking to me."

"What do you mean? You're the only one that can help me with this."

"I didn't cause this. And Adrian, do not forget, I am an Omega. I am not so strong, and you know the workout is not my forte, my punch can hardly crack a nut, not to mention knock someone out. You were the one who picked an alpha's daughter, this bimbo," he said, looking at Rayana.

"Don't call me that," Rayana frowned as she headed towards the window.

"What's that Ana, what do you want to do?" Zayn asked.

"Wanting to escape of course. I am tired of staying here listening to you two talk rubbish." She puts on her clothes, and quickly does her hair, before turning to us.

"Bye," she said, before diving the first leg downwards, and then jumping downwards. I turned to Zayn, who stared in bewilderment.

"Zayn, she's a strong girl!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, she is, and she's a wonder woman." Correspondingly, we both rushed to check what happened to Rayana.

"Everywhere is clear, no sign of life, not to speak of… death, it was definitely not a big jump," he said, before turning back.

"What are you doing? Go check if she's safe!"  I ordered.

"Okay, fine," he said, before sauntering off and flying down the window.

I sighed, before rushing off to the bathroom. I quickly unzipped my trousers and brought out my schlong to pee. I shake it, before hiding it beneath my underpants. I should now have a nice hot bath.

 "Adrian," a voice called from outside.

"Come in," I replied.

It was Zeta Liam. He rushed into my room, with a worried look surfacing on his face.

"What happened?" I asked perplexed.

"Your father wants to meet you right now, Adrian, and he's in his office waiting for you."

I quickly hurried up and after dressing, I walked out of my room, and down the alley, to meet my father. I decreased my speed as I stopped at the front of his office.

"Dad," I called, before walking in.

"Oh, Adrian. Sit down, I have a lot to discuss with you," he said, with thick fumes of smoke emitting from his mouth, as he fondled his pipe as usual.

"Good morning dad," I said, sitting down. His ear-to-ear grin quickly transformed into a menacing stare.

"Adrian, you are the Alpha's son. You are the one to continue the bloodline streak of our ancestral lineage. How well are you preparing for this?"

"I train hard, dad. And I try to learn more each day, I learn to read to increase my wisdom horizons," I lied. Of course, I had to lie. That was what my father would love to hear. I would be damn dead if he knew that I was a womanizer, instead of learning how to handle a pack.

"Are you telling me the truth?" He asked with an interrogative expression running across his mien.

"Of course, I am," I lied again.

"That you are trying to learn how to manage a pack. Or that you are busy following women?!" He bawled, leaving me in a fatal silence. If I didn't say anything at that point, he would assume that he was right.

"I had my guards follow you, and found out that this week, you were with three women! Is this how you would handle a pack?" He asked. I couldn't say a word because I was now caught.

"Uh… No," I manage to speak, only to end up stuttering. The top-notch ceiling fan did not help my condition because I was sweating profusely like I was bathed with water.

"Do you want to ruin Alpha Ambrose's name? What do you think? That I wouldn't know of you and Eva?!" He yelled.

I blinked, in utter bemusement.

"Did my father know that I cheated on Eva?" Just pondering about it, strong arrows burst through the glass.

What? Were we attacked by rogues now?
