The Lycan’s Contract Mate

“Which Orient are you talking about Dad?”

Jordan asked, beating me to the question.

“There is only one place called Orient right? That’s what I am talking about son,”

Father said in a calm voice like he didn’t just drop a bomb. The Orient was untouchable and he couldn’t be serious.

“What? Father? That’s impossible to do,”

Jordan yelled at our father, yeah, it was impossible even for me but I wasn’t about to say a word, I was still trying to process the whole thing and I figured shouting won’t even solve the problem, yeah because it is a huge problem what my father was asking for.

“It is not impossible with the right source,”

Father responded to Jordan, looking from him to me.

“I need to be sure whoever becomes the next alpha will do good by the pack members and be a source of progress, if you can’t do something as little as that, then how can you be king?”

Father said. I couldn’t get past the fact that this man, who had been sitting on that throne and being the alpha king without doing much by the people suggesting something as outrageous that it almost sound like he wanted us to steal, everyone on both packs knows Orient belong to the Blue-ray pack, it was originally for us, but the former alpha had offered it up to as a peace offering after their last war, that was decades ago even before our dad was born, our great grandfather had been a peace-loving alpha according to the things I read about him and had been the one to initial peace within various packs in the country, I aim to be an alpha like him and bring everyone together.

Orient has become a hot topic in recent days due to some rumors that there are possible diamonds on the said land, the fact that Father was interested in it already proves that the rumors were true.

“Father, you know this might cause bad blood between both packs, I am not against wanting us to achieve an almost impossible fit to gain access to the throne, but can you not set up the safety of the whole pack for it? I mean there are other things you could have asked us to bring,”

I stated. I did my best to remain calm as I said the words, there was no reason to shout or be loud like Jordan.

“See? Even he disagrees, and I can’t lie Father, for the first time, I agree with him, you love our people right? You love how we have been at peace and just progressing for a long time? Don’t ruin it, just make me the new alpha and be done with it,”

Jordan said. The way I listened while he talked only for him to add trash in the end, I was the fool for thinking he gave up that stupid idea of only him being qualified up, I looked to our father and he seem to have made up his mind.

“There is no going back, you both are businessmen, I am sure with the right sources, you will be able to obtain the land without war, there is nothing money can not buy,”

Our father said.

“There are things money can’t buy dear father, one is life and the other is this, I honestly don’t see them selling, they will earn more by not selling if what is found on that land turns out to be true,”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

I imputed.

“That’s why we have to get it and find out ourselves, it is still just a rumor, pay the right people, talk to the right people, if you both aren’t going to do it, then I will make a public announcement, whoever is able to get the land to our side becomes the new alpha king,”

My father said.

“Dad? That’s not fair, it is bad enough that I have to compete for what’s rightfully mine with this loser, now, don’t make it worse,”

Jordan let out.

“Watch what you say Jordan, I am in no mood to tolerate you right now,”

I warned.

“I have said it and that’s what I will do, I am sure if the news goes out, I will get someone to do the job in a few weeks, it is such an easy task, and this will benefit the whole pack and it will prove whoever wins is ready to lead the pack.”

Father said and I had to bite back the words that I wanted to say to him, did he just say it will be an easy task? He could literally have done it himself if it was that easy.

“Father, reconsider this, this is impossible, or you just don’t want anyone to take over from you,”

Jordan accused.

“I am not reconsidering anything boy, in my time, I had no competition at home yet my father, your grandfather made me compete against commoners, I had to fight for what was mine, I don’t see how you doing it with your sibling is an issue, my task was harder, it was during the time of war, I was only eighteen but I won, defeated the packs and got the throne, you don’t have to fight anyone, all you need to do is use the business skill you have,”

Father spoke.

“This is no different though, because this might lead to war too, why can’t you see that? We are already experiencing some tension between the two packs, I have friends in the other pack and you want me to take what I know belongs to them? I may not be a good person but that’s a step too far,”

Jordan let out. It was clear he wasn’t okay with what father was saying, neither was I but I was determined to become the next alpha, I prefer to think things through before saying them than just saying whatever comes to my mind.
