Chapter 9

Violet




It's been two days since Fab found his mate, I am really happy for my brother and best friend, but I have this longing in me to find mine whenever I look at them. It's just a matter of a few days before I could start my journey to find him, I just hope he has not given up on finding me, I don't think I could bear that pain, I sighed as pushed the unwanted thoughts away as I looked at Lisa pacing in front of me.




"You need to calm down" I said trying to get her to sit down




"You want me to calm down? How can I?" she asked before she sighed plopping down on the couch beside me




"I know you are worried, but you getting overly stressed is not going to help us" I told her, her shoulders slumped in defeat as she looked at me sadly




"What else can I do? He won't tell me what is wrong" she exclaimed waving her hands widely around her




"I know he was a little stressed about business, but I don't know since he returned from your pack he has been overly stressed" I explained, I remember Fab talking to dad about issues with the business, he assured dad that he will take care of everything, but I don't know why but he has been overly stressed since he returned from Lisa's former pack yesterday. I have never seen my brother stress over anything so much, I know something is bothering him, but he won't tell us what it is, he would just stiffen whenever we take Lisa's brother's name




"Wait a second, he is reacting strange whenever you talk about your brother, did something happened between the two?" I asked as soon as I realized something must have happened between the two




"I don't know, they have been very quiet yesterday compared to their usual selves" Lisa replied after thinking for a while




"Did they fight or something? That could be the reason why he is upset" I said trying to come to a conclusion




"It's a possibility, and they are both like little pups, so we need to get them to kiss and makeup" Lisa replied rolling her eyes




"Ewww, that would be disgusting" I said acting to gag in disgust




"Hey! He is my mate, it's not like I would literally let that happen" she groaned making me laugh




"Why don't you go and ask him directly? Then you can tell me once you find out" I suggested




"That would be nice, I will go see him in his office" she replied getting up walking out of my room




"Make sure to actually talk first before you something else" I called after her, she just turned to glare at me before walking out of the room




I chuckled a little before I turned my attention to the book I was holding, I sighed realizing that I lost my interest in the story. I could only think about what must have made Fab so upset and stressed, I wanted to give Lisa and him time to bond so I sent her to know what happened, but now it's like I can't wait. I tried to stop myself but before I could talk myself into waiting I found my legs moving and I was walking towards Fab's office. I could hear Fab and Lisa talking in the office, they had left the door open, I didn't want to interfere, I would just listen to Fab about what he is upset about and move on my way, I know it's wrong to eavesdrop but I am just looking out for my brother.




"Babe please tell me what is going on? I am really worried" Lisa pleaded looking at Fab




"Fab, I know something happened between you and my brother" Lisa stated which made Fab's head to snap towards her, okay she hit the right nerve




"Did he tell you something?" he asked looking at Lisa intently, I could see he was angry




"He didn't, but if you don't tell me what happened, I am going to go to him and find out what happened. Vi is worried so I will be taking her with me" she threatened, okay she knows how to deal with my brother, that kinda made me proud, she knows how to put him in his place




"You are not going anywhere, and neither is Will" he stated with finality in his voice, not like his words could stop us because we really want to know what's troubling him




"Then tell me what happened" Lisa ordered, Fab sighed taking a defeated breath




"The council has issued a notice for your brother to get married, he has less than 4 days to get married" he announced which made Lisa gasp in shock, I was shocked myself, I pursed my lips to stop them from making any noise




"They can't force him, he has been waiting for his mate for so long, he doesn't as much as look at another girl" Lisa exclaimed making Fab sigh




"You think I don't know that? But, it's the matter of the throne here, they are not going to wait whatsoever. If he doesn't get married as per the council then we will not like the consequences" Fab replied with another sigh




"So what is he going to do now?" Lisa asked looking at Fab




"He has nothing to do but get married" Lisa mumbled but I heard it anyway, and I was sure Fab did too




"Yeah, he has to get married according to the custom that I despise so much, he has to purchase himself a bride" Fab replied, I could clearly see his anger




"Not just any bride, he needs to get married to either his mate or an Alpha female" Lisa added to Fab's statement before another gasp left her lips




"Please tell me it's not what I think it is" Lisa pleaded looking at Fab




"It is exactly what you think it is, there are no other Alpha females of age. Will is the only Alpha female, now Vin wants to follow the fucking custom and is pressurising me. I clearly said no to him, I know how much my sister hates that custom, and she would never accept to become someone's trophy wife. He is using the situation with my business to get me to agree, but no matter how bad the situation is, I am not going to let my sister give up on her chance to happiness" Fab explained, I just stood frozen in my place, my brain refused to work at the moment, it took me a while before I was able to compose myself and make myself known, I knew there was more to this




"What else are you hiding Fab?" I asked walking inside the office both Fab and Lisa turned to look at me shocked




"I am not hiding anything else" Fab replied once he was able to get past his surprise, he was avoiding eye contact with me




"You have been terrible at lying ever since we were kids so you better start speaking or I have other ways" I threatened




"You wouldn't" he said seriously, but I was determined to find out




"Try me" I said daring him to hide things from me




"How bad is the business?" I asked coming straight to the point




"Very bad, mom's death had taken a toll on dad, I don't know how he was able to pull it off so far" he replied sadly




"What about our finances and our regular investors?" I asked hoping to get a positive response




"Nothing, they have long lost trust and faith, everyone wants their money back" he explained




"Any new investors?" I enquired




"None" was his only response




"How bad is this situation with our mighty Alpha King?" I asked




"You don't worry about him Will, I have it handled I will take care of everything" he replied




"How bad Fab?" I asked firmly, I was not buying what he was saying




"Pretty bad, he has sent an order, an actual marriage proposal according to the custom, he has ordered for the proposal to be accepted as the King. If we don't accept it would mean we are disrespecting the King, in other words, we are waging war against King" he explained, to say I was angry was an understatement, so much has happened and he was keeping everything to himself




"And you think you have it handled?" I asked him with a glare




"I know what you want, and I certainly don't want you to give up on finding your mate, he might not have an option, but his actions are still not justified" he replied




"And for that, you are going to let the whole pack suffer, we are suffering everywhere and now because of me you are suffering more, and you want the pack to suffer along with us?" I asked in disbelief, as much as I hate the stupid custom and as much as I hate Vincent Austin Pearson right now, I would never want my family and pack to suffer because I was selfish




"Tell him I am ready to be his purchased bride, and if he ever dare lay a finger on my family and pack or even think of threatening them, I am going to have his head" I announced my decision, I turned walking out of the office before any one of them could say anything, I know they might think I am not in my senses, but I know, I am
