Dean POV
“I told you. Didn't I? I warned you that Luca wanted your throne but you refused. He wants lia and that is all! We would have killed him when we got the chance but you refused. Now, it is almost too late! He did not only talk back at you, he had managed to convince the people that you are a bad Alpha. Now they want him, Dean! They want a rogue over us, the Royal!”Lorenzo shouted as he kicked the chair in front of him.
I closed my eyes for a while wondering who to believe between him and Luca. For me, Luca did not want the throne. It was evident in his face. You could see the surprise when they bowed to him.
That was not my business. What I wanted to know was why he seemed so interested in checking that boy's body. It was as if he had a bond with him. Could he have kids I did not know.
“Dean! I am talking to you” Lorenzo shouted again disrupting my thought.
I rolled my eyes as I used my fingers to massage my head. Sometimes, Lorenzo was a whole pack of trouble.
“I am listening” I replied even though I knew that he knew I was not listening but who cares. I am listening.
“What do we do?” He asked with so much anger in his voice, his eyes screaming revenge.
I whirled my chair around for a while before turning to him with a shrug. “I don't know”
He narrowed his eyes “What do you mean buy you don't know?”
“Well, I don't know what to do. You can't change people 's minds in a whole day. They are not going to accept UA if the hybrid keeps attacking people. If we can kill the hybrid then we can talk to the people and convince them” I explained.
He stared at me with defeat before he finally sat down. His hands drummed the table “How are we going to get him?” He asked.
That was a question I could not answer. How will I be able to get him? He is a hybrid. My father had made sure he had killed all the hybrids after he discovered that a part of them was planning to overthrow him. Now he could not do anything.
“We will keep on sending men till they kill him”.
“ Is that the solution you have?” He asked.
I nodded. What's he expecting? A genius idea? I had no idea how to kill a hybrid. Something within me told me that he wanted to take my throne. Maybe he will come back for revenge for what my father did to his kind and the only way to do that was to kill people. Making me look weak.
“Do you know the bond between that child and Luca?” I asked.
He raised an eyebrow “How does that relate to what we are talking about?” He asked.
I took shaky breaths and sighs. I sighed and saw this same boy with the same bracelet on his hands and he was calling me father. At first, I thought it was a mere dream until it started repeating itself again and again.
“I don't know. He seemed so attached to the body” I explained.
Lorenzo nodded and took a sip of his drink. “That does not matter now that the boy is dead. The parents came to take him away” he informed me.
He took a final gulf of drink and sat up looking at me.
“What do we do, Luca might become the Alpha”
“He will not”
“He will”
I hissed in annoyance. This man had a way of getting on my nerves. He had always wanted us to kill Luca one way or the other. Fond silly excuse to make sure we killed him
“We can kill him accusing him of treason” he suggested with an amused smile.
I smile back,not at him but at his foolishness. Like what would someone decide to be this annoying? I have told him times without number that killing Luca was out of the picture. Is it either we lock him, stab him, punish him or not kill him? Like it or not he is the only cousin I had. My only family.
“ Well he has not committed treason” I defended.
“Really? Did you not see the way he talked back to you? He wanted you to appear weak that is enough treason”
“Well. If we start killing people because they talked back at me everyone around me would have been dead” I said with a sarcastic tone.
“He opened his mouth to talk,” I added.
His eyes widened. It was as if he was trying to digest whatever I said. Trying to wrap it around his head that I had just told him he was living at my mercy.
“I am your Beta, Dean. Your best friend. You would cut me some slack” he said in a weak terrified voice.
I chuckled “I know, you are my Beta. But you and I know that you were Luca's Best friend, not mine. You left him after what he did so don't come here telling me what to do, Who to punish and who not to punish. You and I both know that you would switch sides if anything happened to me. So do something for me. Find out who that dead boy is to Luca and find a witch that can help us locate the hybrid “I ordered.
He stared at me in disbelief. Then he shoved his hands into his pocket. “ If this is what I get for my loyalty. Then okay. I would go and find a way to kill the hybrid while you sit here”
I nodded and waved my hands at him. Dismissing him. I was already too tired to argue with him. He knows I told him the truth.
My phone seeped with a notification. I clicked on it. It was a message from Jenny
“I have told the people. I and Luca are getting married” she informed me.
