Betrayed by the Alpha's Son

CHAPTER SIX

James's POV

I opened my eyes and patted the bedside where Lukundo was sleeping. But I just slapped the empty bed. I turned and realized she was not there. Where the hell had she gone?

I jumped out of bed and grabbed my robe. Then matched outside my bedroom. I tried shouting for her but she was not answering me.

"Where could she have disappeared to?" I asked myself as I walked to the kitchen and only the empty stared back at me.

Could she have gone back home? But she wouldn't have dared after what happened last night.

My father nearly killed her for the love of God. Hence, making it impossible for her to even step out of the house without me.

Though she claimed to be an independent woman and yes she might have shown her independenceness in most cases, she stood no chance against my father.

He would slice her up in a heartbeat.

Then something hit me that sent a chill Dow my spine. Did they take her?

But again, my father didn't see me last night. So he wouldn't have known I took her. But what if he sensed her?

Thought that was impossible. I would have known if my father was here. Heck, the big man would have killed me along with her.

I was helping someone he wanted the deal more than ever. Making me his enemy in the process.

But if my father hadn't taken her where could she have gone too?

I rushed upstairs and took my phone off the table. I dialed her number and called her, but her phone rang on the table.

If she left her phone she mustn't have gone too far.

Though the idea of her wandering outside the house alone was not something I would have been in agreement with.

My mind races about the possible ways in which my father or my brothers could catch. Maybe they were planning on visiting and they saw her outside. Alone. That will be like taking candy from a baby.

Byt maybe I was just been paranoid about the all thing. I needed to get a grip on myself and just breathe. She was going to be ok. Right?

I sat on the bed as I took a deep breath.

"Nope," I spoke and rushed outside the house.

I called her name again as I walked around the house to see I she was just getting some fresh air.

Then as I went to the backyard my heart shattered into a zillion pieces. Jumping from my stomach to my neck. The damn thing refusing to stay at its rightful position.

My eyes widened and the hair at the back of my neck stood on end.

"No," I gasped.

I rushed and wrapped her in my arm while freeing her from the rope with my other hand.

"Why the hell would you do this?" I asked but knew she was not going to answer. But I had no idea what I was going to do at the moment.

I rushed her inside and lay her on my bed. I went and got a bowel with water and took my face cloth.

As I got back to her, I noticed her make some movements. I was confused and sort of glad that she moved I don't know why but the whole incident scared the hell out of me.

I immediately dipped the cloth in the water I got, squeezed it, and rubbed it around her neck praying she survives this.

I felt her pulse to see if she was still alive but felt nothing.

I heard voices coming from outside and I started packing, no one had to see Lukundo in the house, if they did I would be in so much trouble.

"Who the hell might that be?" I said it louder than I actually wanted to.

I heard him flinch and she shouted something that I didn't even actually hear as my mind concentrated on nothing but the door.

I sighed and rushed downstairs. I was going to kill the dickhead that had the audacity to enter my house without my permission.

I walked to the living room and my eyes widened. They couldn't have chosen a worse day to visit me.

After what happened last night I wouldn't allow them to see my Lukundo. Not now at least.

"What the living hell are you two doing here?" I walked and began pushing them outside the house.

If Lukundo was to walk up things might get hectic. It would be a colossal mistake in an already colossal freaking situation.

"Do we need permission to visit our young brother? You are the only one who decided to take ave here. Hence, giving us leverage to get out of the wolf pack," Nate spoke and sat on the couch.

"What the hell do you think you are doing? You both need to leave. Now," I enunciated. But instead of leaving. Even Pater decided to sit his ass down.

"I said leave!" I shouted.

"I think I know what is happening here," Pater spoke, smiling at Nate and they both turned to me -- looking at me as if I was a lamp of meat.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. Trying to act as natural as I could master.

"Who is the like girl? Is she in her room? We totally need to see her," Nate spoke and punched my shoulder. Then he motioned for Peter to follow him upstairs.

Crap.

I rushed and stood in front of them. Stretching my hands as wide as I could.

"Leave. Now. "

"Come on James. Are you embarrassed to introduce us as your brothers?" Pater spoke.

"I think so. He thinks we are to Wolfy to see her," Nate added.

"It's not like that you idiots," I touched their shoulders and turned them around. I sighed in relief. "I will introduce you when the time is right. Just not now. Because. She is not wearing anything right now. We kind of got into the moment before you bastards showed up without calling," I smiled from Pater to Nate.

They looked at each other than at me.

"Well, you should have said so. But promise to bring her home as soon as possible. And I'm sure father will like to see her. Don't you think Nate?"

"Sure. And sorry for showing up without telling the man of the house," Nate spoke and they burst out laughing their asses off.

"Ok, that's enough," I said and slapped a hand on my face as they carried on laughing.

They can be pretty annoying sometimes. But they are the best brothers you can have. Despite my father not showing me that much love. I mean he was there, but the big man never really spent some father-son time with me as much as he did with Nate and Pater.

But they have been there for me and they are the fathers I had.

I actually considered telling them that I was seeing the woman my father sent me to assassinate. But I didn't want to take any risks.

Maybe later I will.

But again, telling them that I had felling in love with her, was tragic on its own. They all wanted to make their father happy and proud. They were pushing me to take Lukundo to father so that he can take her powers and the like.

But she had nothing to do with whatever went down between my father and her father. That was their problem and it was something we shouldn't have been involved in.

But because of my stupid and my eagerness to impress him, I accepted the job. Nor knowing I was walking into my trap. She had trapped me in her love spell.

My brothers were happy that I was doing this. That I was working on building my relationship with my father. They had tried to get me and my father talking more and spending time just the two of us more. But it always ended up tragic.

So, telling them about what I was planning to do was not the scenario I wanted to take. Hence, they needed to leave my house as soon as possible. Before she woke up and walk downstairs.

"Are you here?" Pater asked.

I shook my head -- realizing I had wandered off into my thoughts.

"Yeah," I spoke.

But the way they both looked at me made it clear that they had noticed I was worried and scared.

"You will do this. Don't worry. We are here with you no matter what," Nate spoke, in his deep voice.

Pater touches my shoulder and I turned to look at him, "brothers before anything. Even father. "

"I don't want the both of you to be in trouble with father because of me. I'm used this way. Don't take that path because of me," I spoke and we sat down.

They carried on telling me how stupid I sounded as I said those words. That they will stick with me no matter what. They will never leave me alone.

Even if I messed up this operation they will support me and not father. They had done that countless times. And I was honored to have them with me.

Though what I didn't get was why my father never liked me as much as he liked my brothers. I had always wondered about that. I even asked my mother before she passed away. She only told me that my father was scared. But never told me what he was scared of.

But asking him was the path I was not willing to take. He was scary enough for me. I didn't want him upset any further.

But I was going to make him upset either way. Or was I willing to take Lukundo to him? But my heart refused. I was in love with her.

Her brown eye color staring into mine was the most beautiful thing ever.

Though she hadn't said anything to me about her having the same feeling for me. My heart insisted that she was feeling the same about me. And at the moment that was enough for me.

We talked for an hour. Me forgetting that Lukundo might wake up at any second.

They also told me about last night. That father was seconds from catching her. That he thought I was failing my mission. The school had taken me over.

Then they told me that someone saved her. I flinched but managed to mask that off.

They also told me that my father went home mad. That he didn't even eat.

But I stopped listening. They needed to go before the bastard in me Dec to blurt out that I was the one who saved dear Lukundo.

"Can you two visit some other time? If I didn't know any better I would think you bastards might be jealous that I'm spending time away from you two. I'm not your little brother anymore. You know that right?" I smiled.

"You will always be little J to us," they both raffled my hair.

"Mention that in front of anyone I will ripe your skins off and have you watch as I feed it to the dogs," I spoke and got up.

"Get up. I'm sure father is wondering where his sons have run off to. He doesn't know you two are here does he?"

"Technically yeah. But we never listen to him, do we? Take you for instance. "

"Nate, leave," I pointed at the door as I saw that they were not making any attempt to leave.

They finally left the couch and I pushed them outside the house. Then I closed the door softly behind us.

"Someone can't wait to be alone," Peter spoke.

"Let's just go. I will see you out," I spoke and escorted them to the gate.

I needed to make sure they left. They would give anything if I meant them seeing what girl I was with. But hooks or by crooks, they will do that.

But that will be crazy.
