CHAPTER 3

Rex traveled all the way back to his clan after his father summoned him. After a two hours drive, he got to his destination and drove into his father's huge compound. He packed his car and strode in. He met his father, Alpha Lyons Joe drinking a herb tea in the living room with two of his mistresses sitting close to him with half clad dresses, he was still looking as young as ever even as he was over 70. This sight got Rex angry as he recalled his mother, but he waved it off and bowed in greeting. His father dismissed his mistresses and offered him a seat. While they were leaving, the younger one made eye contact with Rex before looking away. Rex understood the reason for it but didn't think about it very much. He just sat there fuming with rage.

"You came so fast unlike you," Alpha Lyons pointed out and sipped his tea.

"I was less busy and I'm still on my off," Rex replied with a calm voice. He looked around and noticed that there were new interior designs made to fore living room.

"I decided to make it look a bit expensive, hence I'm the overall alpha lord, I get many visitors in a day," his father explained after noticing the way he was looking all over the sitting room.

"It is nice," Rex replied and brought his attention back to his father.

"My apologies, please get my son something," Alpha Lyons said to one of his present servants, the servant bowed and left.

"I think I have had enough for today, get me a glass of water instead," Rex said to another servant. The servant bowed and left.

"You haven't given up drinking even in the early hours of the day?" Alpha Lyons asked.

"It ain't regular... I drink when I'm bothered or disturbed," Rex grunted and looked towards the Wall. He noticed new paintings of half-clad curvy women without heads on the wall as he looked closely.

"Your new taste is good," he said, admiring the dark paintings.

"Anastasia inspired it, I didn't like it for the first time but became in love with it after studying it closely for some time. She is such a beauty," Alpha Lyons replied with total admiration in his eyes. Rex scoffed before his lips curved in a grin. Anastasia was his father's youngest Mistress that always offered herself to him whenever he came around unknown to his father who kept her in high esteem. Rex knew tonight wasn't going to be any different from other nights and he was looking forward to it, he couldn't wait to run his fingers on her attractive curves.

"How's your relationship with Sheba going?" Alpha Lyons asked, peering his eyes into Rex's own to notice any form of displeasure on his face after he mentioned Sheba, so he would know that Rex hadn't still gotten to like and accept her but Rex who was smarter and expected this, covered up quickly with a smile. He made sure his face lit up with a radiating smile before looking his father straight in the eyes.

"We are good, I just finished informing her of my visit before coming in," Rex said. His father studied his face to note if there was any form of dislike or lies but noticed none, he looked down at his teacup and grabbed it, before bringing it to his lips.

"Good, after she comes back, we are going to go ahead with the marriage plans. I hope you haven't changed your mind?" Alpha Lyons asked Rex.

"No, father. I haven't. I'm equally looking forward to it too," Rex lied to cover up, faking his best smile.

"I hope you don't change your decision because of any new woman. I had made all the necessary deals with her father, your marriage with her seal needed. Don't disappoint me," Alpha Lyons said coldly with underlying threats evident in his voice.

"I'm far more sure now father, I won't go back on my decision," Rex assured with a light smile.

"Who's the woman you saved from the man you killed?" Alpha Lyons asked. Rex, who was expecting this, adjusted a little bit on his seat and calmed his facial expression before replying.

"She's a random woman I found crying for help in the hotel's restroom. I found out she was being abused and intervened." As Rex was explaining this, he made sure that his face was plain and expressionless so his father won't notice any form of desire or liking towards the woman, he was very sensitive and Rex knows about it. He looked up at Rex and looked away. After much silence, he looked up at him again and after studying his face, he asked.

"Why did you kill the man then?"

"It was a mistake father, it was never intentional," Rex defended quickly, trying to be as calm as possible.

"Fine, be very careful next time. it ain't all your murders I can always help you clean up. This man in question was notable, it wasn't easy cleaning up the mess you did. The woman in question too, I hope you don't ever meet her again, don't also get yourself attached to her, you would never get to like the outcome," Alpha Lyons said and stood up. Rex got a little bit nervous and looked up at his father, did he know that he was already getting a liking towards the woman?" he asked himself.

"I will make sure of that father," Rex replied and looked down, his father looking at him.

"Let's have breakfast in the Garden," Alpha Lyons said and started walking out.

"I will join you soon," Rex said in a bow. As his father left, he stood and started heading to his room upstairs. When he got in, he pulled off his suit and removed his tie. He was bothered about his father's last threat which wasn't clear, he was already attracted to the woman and doesn't know what to do about it as his wolf always reacts when he sees her. Rex strode to the fridge in his room and opened it. He took a bottle of water and gulped it down after opening it. He was now shirtless and strode to the wardrobe in the room to pick a light cotton shirt for the weather. His room door came open and his father's youngest Mistress rushed in, she didn't even give him any chance as she jumped on his and captured his lips in a kiss. Rex tried to break off the kiss, but she was holding his head tight. After a while, Rex was able to break off the kiss, he walked towards the chair in his and dropped her down.

"I missed you and kept on counting every hour, why didn't you come as you promised the last time?" She asked him, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, I got occupied with work," Rex replied, trying not to look at her.

"But it never stopped you from coming to see me almost every month all these years, you didn't even bother to come for the past four months," she pointed out.

"I bargained for bigger contracts that needed my special attention, that's why I wasn't able to have as many chances as before," Rex replied and turned his back on her.

"Rex, I have missed you. Can you look at me," She said and held onto his waist as she stood up.

"I have to go, my father is waiting. I'm having breakfast with him," Rex replied and tried to remove her hand from his waist.

"Just touch me before you leave, even if we don't do anything. I just want to feel your hands all over me," She pleaded with an aroused voice, rubbing her boobs on Rex's back.

"I'm sorry, but put yourself together. My father might send someone to come to check up on me. I can't risk us getting caught," Rex replied and removed her hand. He turned towards her with pleading eyes.

"You never cared before. You usually do it everywhere with me without minding. Please I have missed you, touch me just to soothe my desires for now until we have the chance before I go crazy," She said.

"Anastasia, please put yourself together. I will get back to you, I have to go," Rex said and led her out. He banged the door after he lightly pushed her out, he relaxed on the door breathing heavily. He had decided to change but Anastasia might make it hard until he leaves, he felt himself getting aroused by her half-clad dress. He tried to remove the picture from his head and picked up a cotton shirt. After putting it on and washing his face to clear up his desires a bit, he went to the garden to meet his father.

"What took you so long?" he asked him. Rex sat beside him before replying, I took a light shower, before coming down to cool my body temperature.

"The food is almost cold, but I can tell the chef to make you a hot one if you want," Alpha Lyons said.

"No father, I'm okay," Rex replied with a smile. His father looked at him and looked away with a smirk on his lips.
