Chapter 20

ALLAN CONRAD

One month later...

So far, our relationship not really good, but also not bad too. We conduct our life like a normal couple, although our daily task becoming busier. Or course, the main reason of William busy should be caused by me.

Recently, we have expedited the mission, hunting those preys relentlessly. When there is a death, the council will need William presence during the investigating. He also gave a weird vibe whenever the death occurred. Don't tell me, he was suspecting me has relation in these cases. It will be dangerous if he begins doubting me.

In the last pack meeting, William informed Serina will take a long leave from pack duty effective that day until further notice. The news shocked everyone there. For me, that is one of a woman dirty tactic. I don't care about her. That is not my business.

I don't really care what she did as I believe William won't betray me. He loved me more than anyone else. Cherish our relation like no other. However, the thing about Serina is a little suspicious. Because of love, she is willing to betray his pack, destroying her love one and immediate family. She has shut down a rational thinking. Letting the obsession take over her decision.

From interaction, I know everyone had a high expectation on Serina. She quite intelligent and quick wit decision maker. Maybe she pushes herself too much to be on par with William level. Her motivation is really admirable. But she chooses the wrong way to utilize it. A woman's mind is hard to be cracked.

Our house is not like a house anymore. The comfort provided by staying at home already lost his meaning. It can count by one finger house many times we sit together to eat or even sleeping together. The decreasing started after two weeks I refused to go to a party with him.

Feeling stuffed inside, I drive the car to a secret base. I left the car at one of my family restaurants and run deep inside the thick forest until finding the entrance. The outside will not find this place no matter how much they circle around. A heavy spell had been put here to camouflage the basement. The entrance opens after the system completely scanning my body.

A group of kids run toward me when I pass one of the rooms. This basement not only a place for operating our plan but also a home for these victims that share the same fate as me. They are a group that we managed to save during the revolt.

"Leader, welcome back." The children salute me with some of them display a mischievous smile.

"How are you, kid?" I pick up the smallest kid.

"We are good, leader." They chorus answering me. "Please tell us about outside news." One of the boys asks me. I tell them whatever suitable stories for their ages. The kids did yearn outside warmth. However, they have no luxury life to roaming around as long as that bastard still alive. I leave them after having a little chat. A lot of occupants greet me along the way to control room.

The guys inside the room rolls their eyes when spot me enter the room. Maria busy herself by painting the nails. The twin vampire and others look so bored. Sitting down, Maria starts her long report about the enemy plan of faked scheme and alerting the wolf council. They disguised as a part of our organization member and reveal our identity. Two of them acted as a victim and a kidnapper. Their self-script drama really deserved a big applause. The fierce storm is brewing close toward us. Is this a reason why William started giving a cold shoulder? Is he beginning suspect me? Damn, the enemy walk ahead faster than us this time.

According to a twin vampire, the higher up for each race has begun investigating the suspect in serious a manner. We will be facing a great catastrophe if they able to filter us out. We have many spies infiltrated into all races, human and non-human. They are responsible for digging out information and monitoring the race movement.

"By the way, it is not safe to let your mate and his mistress roaming outside too long. Dimitri aimed is them now." Nick said with unreadable emotion. It is understandable why he has been so restless.

Dimitri, that bastard sure knows how to dig the right tool used against me. From my subordinate, I knew Dimitri had made a contact with Serina for months. His motive is very easy to be guessed. That blind woman follows the villain like a great life saver. The man also supplied Serina with a ton of video of me and companions to add misunderstanding schemes.

"You need to be straight forward with him Allen. How long you want to shoulder everything alone? We know how much you love him. Please give him a chance to..." Justin urges me to tell the truth.

"No, not now. My past will make him feel disgusting." That is the last thing I wanted him to know. I can't bear his judgmental eyes. He little indifferent attitude enough to deeply hurt me. More or less if he knows my dirty past.

"Acting like your replacement making us realize how much he treasures you as a husband and mate. Allen, don't be too stubborn. Maybe with his help we can breakthrough this mission with high successful rate." Maria persuaded me.

"Don't you ever involve him in this case!" I shout on her face with alpha like tone. Maria back shrink a little in fear. So far, I never raise my voice to any of them.

Abraham insert himself in between Maria and me. "Allen, calm down. That is just a mere suggestion, buddy. You see, we only want a best result in this case." Abraham grabs me to empty sofa.

"I'm sorry, Maria. I didn't mean to hurt you." I apologize in softening voice. They are not wrong. I am too emotional in handling a matter related to my mate. He is a precious person in my life that I can't bear to let him hurt on my behalf. I don't want a history repeat again. Not want him to go through like my stepfather was.

"It's okay, leader. I'm at fault too." Maria's face slowly turns normal. Abraham stays with me while other going to their respective room. He stays there like a mannequin. I know he wants to advise me again. After five minutes, the mute mouth begins throwing his advice nonstop.

"We know that you are unwilling to involve your mate in this dangerous mission. You protected him very well. But, did that really what your mate hope for? If it is me in his shoe, I would definitely kill myself immediately the moment a truth come out. You are not protecting him at all. You just push him over the cliff by your hand. Trust, this is what your mate will do after you die. Then, you will re-unite afterlife in happily ever after. Just remember if he dead, you are the one whom killed him with your hand."

Quinten also begs me revealing our suffering to our mate. He believes Quinten and William can accept our past easily. The wolf is desperate to come clean and clear all misunderstandings. With additional of William help, the strength of our troop will become double than what we expect.

I keep thinking the pros and cons of this issue during a driving back to home. The house is out of light, meaning that William is not at home yet. The light automatic switch on when I step inside. William is right. The house void from comfort because we haven't had the little pups running around. This house basically a house without a family touch.

Taking a long bath, I return to the bedroom with a weighing mind. Half of me wants to share this darkest past with him. Another part afraid of his reaction after that. That night, William didn't get home. He informed me that meeting going to be prolonged for next two days. I reply his message accordingly.

Staying alone for two days enough for me to have a clear mind and solid resolve. I will tell him a story of my past. I will let him decide the final result. When cleaning the bedroom, I found a calendar with a red circle on tomorrow date. A smile crept up my face.

Damn, this man must be planning something while putting this mark. Since he busy, I would like to prepare a surprise for himself too. This is a first step for me to repair our relationship. He has done many things, tolerating and forgiving whenever we fought. He never ashamed to ask forgiveness although some of the issues not even his fault.

I am cooking all his favorite foods, bring out the white wine as a complacent for romantic dinner. I double check the table decoration. God, please inject some courage in me. I need it desperately in order to release my past. I wish our life would turn better and better.

All are ready in order. The only one missing is my dear husband. I am patiently waiting for him to return in the house without a light. I want to surprise him so badly. In this case, I shall reward Abraham for his wise advice. All memories flashing in my mind from the day I first spotted him until a few days ago. Those memories are consisting a moment of happiness, sadness, angry, stubbornness and so on. Thinking back, I can see how childish I was in this relationship. I am really glad to be blessed with a high patient husband and mate.

Every second passed as if torturing my soul in silence. The clock already hit 5'o clock in the morning. The dishes already cold but William's shadow nowhere to see. Seem like he still hasn't come back home today too. I am eyeing the table full of food in disdain. Allen oh Allen, love makes you become a silly man.

Slowly, I take the phone and dial his number. The call connected after five attempts. "Hello, who is this?" The voice of a woman coming out from the speaker. I bit my lips in annoying while my eye staring sharply at the clock. Did my eye wrongly see the timing? Why a woman answers his phone? Her voice also sounds familiar.

"Can you pass the phone to its owner?" I mask my voice.

"He is sleeping. Wait a second..." From the phone I hear the girl mellow voice wake up my husband.

"Who is this?" A hoarse voice asks me.

"This is me, Allen. Did the meeting prolong again?" I hear a shuffling fabric from the other side. The sound breaks my heart painfully.

"Allen, I am so sorry because didn't tell you last night. Yes, the meeting is prolonging again. This time the case is becoming a lot harder." Somehow, his excuse becomes more obvious. Didn't he think the consequence if I check it thoroughly? Sometime, 'a cheater' will become a total idiot to defend himself in a wise way. They continue giving a silly excuse every time getting caught.

"Oh I see, thank for hardworking." The line died after that. I smash the table in fury. The foods are splashing around. The plates breaking in pieces. I laughed like a maniac. When I am thinking, I finally can change my fate today, the fate playing with me again. It destroys a little trust and resolved I have built up for nothing. Without giving me any good treatment. Or maybe, I am not in the lucky list for this life time.

After calming the storm inside me, I clean the mess I caused earlier. Ignoring the pain in a chest, I revert to an old self. Around the noon, I make a call to Luke. My motive is simple. I just want to know if there really a meeting over there. Luke happy voice greets me when a call connected.

We talked about casual topic before I am slowly probing the topic I wanted to aim. Luke's didn't suspect anything and inform the meeting already ended on the first day of a conference. So where is that so-called mate of mine during this time around? Luke excuses himself when his subordinate has something to be reported.

I drive out of the pack after ensuring that our house return to normal. Along the road, I hope that he has a valid reason about that girl. I visit family in-law in Midnight Silent. The old couple lovely interaction mirrors my parent's affection style. Once upon the time, I also wish something like this. A lover with full affection until we turn to grave. My in-law is quite surprising when suddenly see me stand here.

Ralph ask, "Hi son, are you alone?" He looks suspicious when seeing no one else beside me.

"Yes, I am alone. Did William drop by?"

"No, we haven't been seeing him for almost a month? What is going on? Do you in the middle of a fight?" Kai said in an amused tone. A fight is a normal in couple daily life.

"Oh no, I just have something important to tell him urgently. However, I can't go through his personal phone or mindlink." I make up an excuse.

"Maybe he still in a secret mission. Let me contact his brothers." Ralph offer the help. From their sincere reaction, I know they really don't know anything new about their son recently activity.

"No need. I think I could act on behalf of him. Thank dad, papa." I left the pack ground after giving some excuse. William, don't make me catch you red-handed again. This time I won't let you make any valid excuse anymore.

A month ago, I suddenly received a call from Calvin informed me that he spots my mate with a woman in one wild party. The woman deliberately bribed a waiter to mix a drug into his drink. Fortunately, I was nearby. That was partly my fault as I rejected him going to his friend party and given Serina a chance.

I didn't think that she was bold enough to drug her close friend also his pack alpha. Seem like I had underestimated the girl courage. Only God knows how much hatred I has the time I barged in the room. Seeing my mate on the bed with only an underwear and a naked woman side by side. I saw red, almost to kill the girl on the spot.

Nick dragged me aside and carried the girl with red glowing eyes. After the outsider left the room, William opens his eyes with a heavy misty lust. He looks me like a predator eyeing his delicious prey. The jealousy made me want to let him suffer alone. This is his punishment for being naïve and put so much trust on that so called 'childhood friend'.

Utopia Dream, a type of aphrodisiac drug. Its potency is undeniable. When someone consumes it, the person will be trapped in his own desire without a way out. Unless, he or she has a sex with someone until satisfied. This potent drug can knock off even someone like William as nothing. It's enough to make the dick steel hard for hours even for an erectile dysfunction man. Let alone if someone used in large doses.

Calvin and Nick have made a trick nick in time. One of them disguised as a waiter and knock the room in the name of Dimitri errand. They drug and let the girl eat her own medicine. She wanted to eat dick so badly, so I let the vampire twin to arrange a man satisfy that wicked woman.

William pounces on me when I almost open the door. He was fighting with a little rational and lust. The man struggles hard but he already deep in the trap. Without delayed, he kisses me in vicious and showing a full dominance as alpha king. My wolf deliberately shut himself in deep sleep, letting me bear the brunt of hardcore love making alone. Such a heartless wolf.

The session last for hours causing me ache a whole body. It was a disaster night. The room filled with thick sexual and sweat scents. I am going to kill that bastard whom provided this drug. My ass felt like on fire while my mouth almost lost its function. After the last round, he sleeps soundless as if his whole body has shut down. I rolled my eye in annoyed seeing the satisfy man beside me.

Thank to fast healing genetic, I could leave the sleeping man beside me before he wakes up. I want to know what he will do after waking up. Will he tell the truth about this one-night stand? Or keep it as a secret forever. I instructed the twin to take last night CCTV tape. From the information, I know Dimitri also stayed in this hotel too.

I never expected that leaving him alone that dawn allowed someone else take an advantage. From the footage recorder I received on the next day, I found Dimitri brought Serina back into William's room. So, that was a reason why William stayed away for days with lame excuses. We were already known how crafty that bastard was. It is not a new tactic.

William come back home with a weird attitude and unkempt self. He looks very distraught. I know he might be guilty over the cheat scheme. I didn't press on the matter and just follow his desire that day. He is so sweet for two weeks period. However, his attitude gradually changed after that. He kept vanishing for one week or two uncontactable. It is like our life has reversed.

The shocking part is Serina actually Nick's soulmate. You get good for nothing bitch as a mate, Nick. After a week in weird attitude, Nick told me that Serina is his soulmate. Hence, the culprit that made love to that woman on that night certainly is him. He did go out to find the woman and settle the account after that. However, the woman bluntly rejected him as a mate. She still believed the one she has sex that night was William.

Back to present, I walk aimlessly around the town holding an umbrella. Passing a ton of clothes shops, seeing all kind of people passing me. The light rain didn't prevent people going out during the weekend. My intuition tells me something interesting will happen around here. So far it never gives a false alarm.

Just passing one of the corners, I bump into someone unexpected. Maybe I am too lost in mind that cause me unable to avoid from bumping. Automatically, I bend down to collect the scattered things on the pavement.

"I am..." The familiar voice stops halfway when our eyes meet each other.

"Here, your thing." I pass the shopping bag contain goods for newborn, ignoring the paler face man. Serina, circle her hand intimately around him. Her belly showing a clear baby bump. They look like a happy married coupled.

"Allen, I...mmm."

"Happy anniversary, mate. Trust, this is the most expensive gift you ever give. Thanks a lot." I stare straight into his eyes, "And, congratulation to be a father." I walked away without giving him any chance to explain. See, my intuition never states a lie.

I just never expect the one I would see today is my own mate. I did prevent them to have a sex once before but that doesn't mean that they never did after that. Seeing they are together just now breaking my heart worse than the treatment I received in the past. It also dissolves my decision to reveal my past. Dimitri plan going smooth. I am totally lost in this time.

Throwing the umbrella, I run as faster as I can when I hear a hurried step behind me. I don't want to see him now. Afraid I will say a word that could hurt him deeply. It is enough for me to bear it alone. I quickly climb one of tall building from a blind spot. Masking my scent, I observe William run around to find me. I feel like a strength left my body.

I wait here until midnight and return to a headquarter. For a week, I busy myself by working nonstop day and night. I need to release the anger before return to pack land. After thinking it thoroughly, I have a valid reason to divorce now. My phone had been off for almost a week too.

"You look worse." Calvin greets me as we gaze upon a group of kids running around. "Nick too."

"Nothing new." I sip the black coffee, savoring the bitter taste. "Where he is?"

"He has just returned from killing one of Dimitri right hand assistance." Calvin kick the ball that rolling toward him.

"Thank, Uncle Calvin." The kids waive him.

"Let me check him later." I throw the paper cup into the trash bin and walking toward Nick's room.

He opens the door after three knocks. The panda eyes with paler skin appear from a slit of the open door. I invited myself into his room. The room is so clean with a coffin replaced the bed.

"I have something to tell you." I sit on the tools. Nick drink a plain water while sitting onto the coffin's lid.

"What it is?" He looks disinterested.

"Serina, is pregnant. Congratulation buddy, you will be a father soon."

"Do you confirm that child is really mine? It could be your mate child. They have been together for almost a month and half in that house." His eyes begin glowing with red misty colors.

"Just do a DNA test to get an accurate result." I get close to him. "Suck my blood." Nick turns his face to another way. Yes, the unhealthy skin color is because he lacks of taking a blood.

Using a penknife, a slash my arm. "Suck it or it will be going wasted."

"Psychopath." I smile when seeing him begin to suck the blood. "Now, your brother won't nag me anymore."

After filling his hunger, he lay in the coffin. "Do you confident that the unborn child is mine?" He sudden question halts my step.

"I don't know, Nick. It may be yours or his. You see, I am someone that lack of pain and sexual arouse. Yes, werewolf could sense when their mate fuck someone else. But I am totally different from normal wolf and William also the king of our kind. He has an ability to mask himself just like me. So, I am not sure if they have sex or not. Sorry..."

"It is not your fault." He laughs. "If it is mine, then the kid will be a proof of my existence. Leader, can you grant one of my selfish wishes?"

"Tell me, I will do everything within my power."

"Please ask your mate to bring Serina back to your pack. It is not safe staying outside with Dimitri aiming them." He speaks with a deep concern.

"Okay. That is easy to do. What do you plan afterward?"

"I have thought thoroughly and decide to give up upon that stubborn woman. This is the last thing I could do as her soulmate. We don't know if we could survive in this war, so I won't pursue her again." He takes a deep breath, with a faint smile. "Leader, I will take a few men with me three days later and launch a fake ambush at her house. That way, it could push her back to your pack."

"Do whatever you want, buddy. I will clean a mess later." I give an approval.

"Thanks, leader." I waved my hand and step outside Nick's room. Seem like Nick and I already reached a mutual arrangement in this issue.

I am planning to stay here for another a week or two. My organization need me the most during this crucial time. Apparently, Dimitri has started his move by attacking our people. Everyday, someone will be buried six feet under. We did a burial service that befit a warrior. It will irresponsible if I am missing during this period. Tired with duty, I will find Casandra, a captive Fae. She is like an adopted mother to all of us.

She will sing a song that could make me sleep at least for two hours per day. Her song is more effective than a sleeping pill. During the kidnapping period, she was tasked to babysit us. They have sealed her voice except to sing a song. They discovered that her voice could hypnotic and calm a raging person. Although we are free now, we still unable to break the curse. She remained with us and be a babysitter. She also a victim and went through hell as us.

Hope, we can be free as a normal person near the future. The soonest the better. We already tired with all this restless life.
