The arrogant mate of mine

Chapter thirty two - Getting ready for the upcoming moon festival

Adrien

It's a day before the full moon festival and as usual, all the pack members are at nick of preparation. I'm having a meeting with the high table members in thirty minutes from now. I got up from my bed and sit by the edge for a while. 

Thankfully, I managed to have some sleep yesterday night, all thanks to my sedatives and now they are making me feel a bit dizzy. Did I mention that I took over doze. I know I'm a doctor and I know the consequences of over dosage but I really do needed it yesterday. I check my alarm clock and see that almost ten minutes have passed. 

"s**t" I curse as I get up from the bed. 

I don't want to be late for this important meeting. I storm into the bathroom to take a quick shower. 

It only took me five minutes. This means I still have fifteen to get ready. I pick up a black suit and a black trouser. Then I pick up a white shirt and a pair of black and white tie. I quickly change into my formal clothes. I pick up the black tie and return the white one inside the tie drawer. 

I take a peek at myself in the mirror. I know I do look gorgeous but I don't have time for this flattering now. I'm about to pick up my shoes when the maids that are supposed to pick up my outfit for the day knock. I can recognize them by their scent even without seeing them. They open the door and walk in. 

I've left the door open yesterday I see. 

"Please forgive us our Alpha, we came in earlier but you were still asleep so we decided to come back when you are awake" their leader apologizes. 

I don't have time to shout at them. Had it been it was on normal circumstances, I would have ripped the head of the leader to show the others that I'm not to be messed with and I don't like people making me wait, but I have a very important meeting in a few minutes. 

"Just go and continue what you're doing, as you can all see, I am already dressed up" I say, my eyes staring at them like a sword ready to behead them all. 

They all walk out in the blink of an eye. 

I pick up a pair of black shoes and a black socks and wear. Then I walk to my wrist watch drawer and pick up a black one, a Rolex designer. The watch is designed with diamonds, I mean real diamonds. 

I pick up one of my shades. It takes me some seconds to fix my hair, even though it's not as good as I want it to be. 

I pick up one of my perfumes and spray it all over my body. There I am, ready to meet my pack members. 

I walk out of my room to see that my guards are already waiting. I check the time in my wrist watch. It's already ten minutes past ten, which means I'm ten minutes late. 

The meeting was supposed to start by ten. They all bow at me as I walk pass them. We walk out of the house where my car is waiting for me. 

Yes, the meeting is not taking place in my main pack house. I decided that it will be best to take place near our sacred field, because this is where the full moon festival usually takes place. One of the guards open the car for me and I hop on. We drive off to the venue of the meeting.

It's almost an hour drive from my house, so I'm already an hour late for the meeting. 

The good part is, I don't owe anybody an explanation about my being tardy. That's a part of the good thing being an Alpha, you owe no body an explanation. 

We park at the front of the house. It's also as big as my main pack house. Also, did I mentioned that this house was where I had my sister locked up. 

The guard opened the door for me and I step out of the car in a hurry. When I enter the house, they were all sitted, waiting only for me. 

To my surprise, my sister is also here. So she decided to join us after all, that's a good sign. She's finally getting over her no mate trauma I see. 

Sometimes I wish I be could as strong as her. They all stand up and greet me as I walk in. I walk over and take my sit at the extreme end of the conference room. 

The room is filled up today because every sect representative and leader are all present. I've actually got bored of counting when we reached thirty which was about six years ago and I don't know how many sect have been added to my pack since then. 

I'm sure my Beta have a documentation of everyone of them, in case I might need them and hopefully I wouldn't. 

"Let's get to business" I say.

Beta Harry stand up and walks up in stage. 

"Morning to you once again" he greets everyone. 

"We are all here on a very special occasion and as most of you know, it's about the upcoming full moon festival which is tomorrow by the way" he says, going straight to the point. 

He keeps telling everyone the plans for the past ten minutes. He walks back to his seat after he has finished the presentation. 

To tell you the truth, my mind isn't even on the presentation. I'm just thinking about when will Alpha Gilbert call me and give me the good news that he has caught that deceitful girl. 

"What do you think about it, Sir?" I hear somebody close to me ask but the voice seems so far away.

"Sir?" he says when he sees that I didn't respond. 

I turn to face him. 

"Sorry, you were saying?" I ask. 

"I asked what do you think about the plan for the festival?" he asks again. 

"Umm, it's perfect, just start the preparations right away" I say. 

The truth is I don't even know what he presented to begin with. 

"Sir, please if you would forgive my intrusion, I would like to say something" my sister says. 

"Yeah, go ahead" I give her the permission to speak. 

"It's regarding the security arrangement, I'm sure everybody still remembers what happened last time" she pauses. 

"So, what are you suggesting?" I ask. 

"Beta Harry said that the werewolves will be put on guard in the front while the vampires will be up in charge of the middle areas of the festival" she says. 

I nod my head even though I don't know want she's talking about. 

"I was just saying that there are other warriors that have more alertness and strength than us" she says. 

"Like who?" I ask. 

"Like the dragon shifters, I know that they are not taken seriously and by the way they are not taken to any festival, can we just put them in guard, they are more larger than us and can sense danger from afar, even if we don't change the Beta's plan, we can at least include them as well" she says. 

"Sir, I think she's right, we need as much security that we can possibly get, the whole pack of Kansasdale is going to be present tomorrow" Beta Harry says, in support of my sister's suggestion. 

"OK, get all the good warriors from each and every sect and put them on guard" I say. 

"Any other thing?" I ask. 

"Yes Sir" one of the fairies representative says. 

"Go ahead" I say. 

"It's regarding those human beings that we caught the other day, don't you think it's dangerous keeping them with us?" he asks. 

"Yes, I've already made plans to execute them, tomorrow will be the best day, with that, we will honour the souls of the ones that sacrificed their lives for our safety" I say with so much hatred. 

We discussed other important matters regarding the packs enhancement. Most of the time, my mind keeps wandering around for no reason. 

I called off the meeting before anyone of them realizes that I'm not actually in this conference room but elsewhere.

I directly head to my room after I have dismissed everyone. I'm gonna stay here till all the festivities are over. 

I lie on my bed and close my eyes. Her stupid face comes to my view. 

What on earth is happening with me. I'm supposed to hate her, not love or even miss her. 

"Get out of my head" I shout in frustration. 

I messed up my once fine looking hair. I remove the suit I was wearing and toss it away. It's starting to get so uncomfortable in here. I loosen the tie to remove my shirt when I hear someone knocking. 

It's my sister. What is she still doing here. I thought she left with the others already. She opens the door and enters. 

"What the hell?" she curses when she sees how I turned the room into a pile of garbage. 

I keep staring at her to she her reaction. She just walk in and starts cleaning the room. 

After she has finished clearing everything, she walks over to me and hugs me. I still couldn't move from the spot that I was when she came in. I feel her tears on my shirt, right through my skin. 

"Why are you crying?" I ask with so much concern. 

She just keeps crying without answering me. I let her cry her heart out for as long as she please. I walk us to my bed and we sit on it. The couches in the room have already been ripped by me. 

She looks up at me. Her eyes have turned volcanic red. 

"You know what?" she says. 

I nod my head. 

"I didn't shed any tears when my mate was murdered in cold blood because I still believed that I was strong enough to take that" she pauses. 

"I know I've turned all bitches but that's because my brother left me and went somewhere without even informing me" she says and wipes the tears off her face. 

"Brother!" she calls me. 

I look into her eyes. 

"I can take all the hardships of this world but I can't stand to see my brother in pain" she says. 

I've hurt her again, didn't I?. 

"I know you are stronger than any of us but you can still be hurt, you have to admit it" she says. 

"Like I said yesterday, I'm your sister, you can share your pains with me" she says. 

"I know you're hurting inside and if it hurts too much, just cry it out" she says. 

Me! Cry! That's never going to happen. 

I've even forgotten that I have tear ducts. The last time I cried was years ago, since when I was a little boy. I cried as I see my parents dying and my precious little sister lost. That's a story to be told another time too. 

"Yeah I know, you'll never cry for the rest of your life, I get it but it's good to sometimes cry out your pain" she says. 

"And don't forget, there is still that human part of you that can't take it all" she says and she's right. 

She gets up from my bed. 

"I know you'll never say anything to me right now but I'll still be here when you're ready to talk" she says and walks out of the room. 

I'm sure she's just gonna go to her room and continue crying. 

What should I tell her?. 

I should just say. 

'Hey Lil Sis, actually the ones that killed your mate, one of them is my mate, so deal with it'. 

Well that's not possible. I have to keep this away from her till the end of my life. I'll keep my promise by handing my mate to her and that is what an ideal Alpha should do, not sulk in his room for the rest of his life.
