Chapter 0048
I walk through the airport with my beta and g**a by my side. Some of my warriors were accompanying us. It’s always wise to be careful. You may never know when trouble will arise.
It took us almost two hours to get here, and we still had a long way to go.
To say I’m irritable would be an understatement. We were going to an unknown territory to meet an Alpha no one had ever set their eyes on. You can see why I would be on edge. This could go horribly wrong, given that we weren’t able to inform them ahead of time.
“I’m still f**g p**d at you,” I snarled at Jason, who simply showed his neck in submission.
“I already said I’m sorry,” he said, barely above a whisper.
Micah groaned beside me in frustration. “That’s not going to do s**t. How could you forget to call ahead?”
Jason glared at Micah, his eyes flashing. “Don’t act like you’ve never gotten so f**g busy that your forgot to do something.”
“Sure, I have, but I’ve never forgotten something as important as calling to inform the Alpha of another pack that we would be visiting.” Micah said with a snort.
“Don’t take that **n*his was all Jason’s f**g fault. He was supposed to call and inform them of our arriv*al. The idiot apparently forgot, and by the time we discovered his idiocy and called, we couldn’t get through.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
We couldn’t postpone, so we just continued with our plans. It would be like an ambush, but I hope that the Alpha won’t see it that way, or we will have a problem.
The two started growling at each other, pulling me from my thoughts.
“Will the two of you just f**g cut it out?” I commanded, pinching the bridge of my nose.
It’s like sometimes they forget that they are adults and revert to bickering like kids. It gets on my d**n nerves when they start behaving like two-year-olds.
They were about to start to argue again when one of my warriors interrupted them.
“Our rides are here, Alpha,” he said respectfully.
I nod just as several SUVS pull up in front of us. Without a word, I got into one of them, and the warriors followed suit. If the two didn’t stop, I was going to leave their a** here.
Luckily, they stopped glaring daggers at each other long enough to get into the car. The moment they do, we are off.
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Micah asked after a while.
I loosened my tie. F**k! This place was hot as hell, unlike how cool the north was.
“Yes… why do you ask?”
He fidgets a little. Something that is so unlike Micah.
“I don’t know why, but I get this feeling that something big is about to happen. We have this journey, and my gut tells me that nothing will ever be the same after this,” he replied, looking outside, his gaze distant.
His words sent chills down my back. was quiet the whole time, lifted his head and nodded in agreement. Ignoring his words, I turned to face outside.
There was nothing but boulders and shrubs. It’s a very dry and scorching place. It makes me wonder how a pack can even survive here, let alone grow to become a feared pack.
My thoughts are interrupted when my phone rings. Fishing it out, I checked the caller’s ID, smiling for the first time since Elder Martin made that discovery about my mate.
“Hello, Buttercup,” I greeted her with a lighter tone.
Piper hasn’t been back to the pack since she left three years ago, I miss my little sister like crazy, but I know she needed this. She’s been traveling, visiting different places. We’ve kept in touch and have met up whenever I travel for business and the city I’m going to coincides with the one she’s currently visiting.
“Hi, Big Brother… How are you? How are you holding up?” she asked excitedly.
Seeing her and hearing how happy she is puts my heart at ease. She left the pack heartbroken because of the death of that c**t, and that was just another thing I held against Sadie, even though she was already dead.
I chuckle, pushing those bitter thoughts away. “I’m okay, Pip… You don’t have to worry about me.”
I know she’s concerned because of what happened with Lola, but I wish she wasn’t. She’s always pushing me to find a chosen to fill the void Lola left. I kept promising I would, even though I knew I wouldn’t.
She doesn’t know what’s been going on, so she has no idea that Lola wasn’t my fated.
“I’ll always worry, Alec. You’re my brother and the only family I have.” Her voice takes a sad tone, and I hate it.
“Piper, I’m okay… I promise,” I assured her. “Not that I don’t love hearing from you, but is there a particular reason you’re calling?”
I wanted to distract her, but it was also weird. She calls at night, given that she knows I’m usually busy during the day.
