30. Chapter 24
Zach
“Come in.” I hastily say. I really don’t care who it is, because I have so much more to worry about than some deals.
I turn my back, looking out the window at the city below.
The city is full tonight, cars honking, people walking as if they have somewhere to be.
It’s beautiful. Our city is like no other.
This is our home and it’s always gonna be our home.
“Well, son, I thought you would’ve greeted me a little bit nicer?” His voice irritates every bone in my body.
“What do you want, father? You already took my mate, what else are you wanting?” I clasp my hands behind my back, still looking at the window. I give my father nothing, I just can’t. He will take anything I do as a weakness, and that’s one thing I am not gonna let happen.
“Perhaps, you should greet your father the way you’re supposed to.” I hear a click of a gun, accompanied with a gasp that I know all too well. I spin around so fast, I swear I almost fall over. Why was I not able to smell her? My father must’ve done something.
“What are you doing with my mate?” I say, trying to keep my tone neutral.
“Uhh, uhh….Now is that really how you’re going to treat me after everything I’ve done for you?
” He says trying to sound nice. I swear he’s delusional.
I try to keep myself calm, as I look over at Kaylynn, seeing that my psycho father has the gun inside of her mouth now.
“Now, show my son what a good girl you can be.” He commands towards Kaylynn.
“Father, is this really necessary right now?” I hold my breath, knowing that whatever he’s gonna say, I’m not gonna like. I try to maintain my composure as best as I can but I do not know how much longer I can hold back. This is all a game to him, nothing more.
Kaylynn looks at me, and I'm surprised to see how put together she is. I see a determination in her eyes, as she holds the gun between her luscious lips. I know this really isn’t the time, but I can’t help but want her even more.
My father has her held to his chest. She stands with her legs slightly spread apart, wearing nothing but a small black dress, her thick thighs still pressing up against each other, and it makes me think about how much I want to push my fat knot up inside of her, and lock her down forever.
“Stop playing games father. What is it that you want?” I ask as I place my hands in my pants pockets, I carefully show him I’m not being submissive, nor am I being aggressive.
“I want you to step down and let me take over the Syrup deals.” I rock back and forth on the balls of my feet to my heels.
I laugh.
“Really father? This is why you took my mate from me and held her captive?” I ask, because I really want to know why he did what he did.
“So, you took my mate from me, held her captive, did who knows what to her, all while we’ve been searching far and low for her.
So tell me father, where have you been keeping her?
” Kaylynn squirms slightly, telling me there’s way more to the story than what I know.
“Don't worry, she’s been kept safe. You can say she was very safe and secure. Isn't that right, sweetheart?” He mocks.
My wolf growls, and immediately I want to sink my teeth so far into his artery, he won’t even see what’s coming.
“Stop with the games. You know you’re not getting your hands on the Syrup deals.
I’ve worked too hard to get where I’m at, to just hand it over.
” I press into him. “You're also not going to touch my mate ever again, unless you want your head taken off that body of yours.” I’m done playing with him.
He always thinks he can win with me, but this time, he won’t.
“Aren't you finally growing into yourself?” He sneers.
“I only learned from the best, right?” I say in remark.
He presses the gun harder into her mouth. “Can’t you just follow along for once?”
“When it comes to my mate, absolutely not. She is the most important thing to me and my brothers, so I would really think about what you’re doing before you do it.”
I see Kaylynn relax a bit. Did she really think that we weren’t looking for her? Did she really think that we weren’t tearing up this city going crazy, wondering what the fuck my father did with her, because he’s a psycho Alpha?
“Why do you care so much about the syrup deal now? You put me in charge of taking care of this, and that’s what I’m doing.
I’m taking care of it.” I can’t stand the way he looks at me, as if I’m just another one of his projects to handle.
I’ve had enough of this, and of him. “Get that gun out of my mates mouth before I put my foot in yours.” I snarl, causing Kaylynn to startle.
I slowly move forward, and my father takes a step back.
“You know, you're losing it old man. You should probably watch yourself because your days are numbered.”
