Chapter 7

Louis

"What the fuck is your problem Lo!!" Jess suddenly yell out when he came in my room.

I snap my gaze at him, and sigh when I saw how work up he is. "I don't know what you're saying Jess.." I shrugged as I turn my back at him and put the book I'm reading on my working table.

A loud slamming noise echo throughout my room. Snapping my head at Jess I saw him gritting his teeth, while his left arm is on my door and glaring at me.

"Damn it Lo! You already have a mate and you have the guts to look for another... What do you think that make us feel? If you wanted to get laid to a woman that badly then please drop the title of being our Alpha because honestly you don't deserve it!" He snap as he storm out of my room.

Ripples of anger boil inside of me, as I grab my hair tightly with my left hand.

Why they can't understand that I don't want this?

That I never wish that woman to come here and lie to everybody that she is my fiancee!

It makes me so mad, but I can't do anything about her. After all their family has been a long time friend with our pack, not to add that they are also one of our alliance.

Although I wish that I can break her slender neck, every time I see her.. but the fact still remains that I can't do it.

Not to mention that she threatened me...

*

"I heard that you already met your mate, Louis?" She said as she saunter inside my office.

My eyes widen when I saw her, she can't possibly came in our territory without my knowledge..

"Who gave you the permission to come here?"

I saw her flinch from my tone, but she didn't stop walking towards me. "I can come here every time I want to, did you forget we our already engage..."

I snicker, and raise my brows at her. ''Since when?''

A sly smirk make way on her lips, while her eyes glint evilly. ''I already said to my father that you proposed to me, and you can't say no...if you don't want your poor Masha to be harmed.."

My face paled, as I abruptly stood up and look at her menacingly. ''You are threatening me?! Me?! I'm Louis Caine Lexus, and you can't threatened me!!''

She scoot away from me, while she's looking at me fearfully. ''I just did Louis, and you should do what I say before I do something you might regret...'' before she totally get out of my office, leaving me totally enrage..

I took the glass of water near me and throw it at the wall. It shatters into small pieces of glass and scattered around the floor, like my heart. And the tears slowly flow from my eyes completely wetting my cheeks.

*

I'm already tired of this. Especially of Shanna, as she starts to live here like she owns the place.

And it enrage me deeply, whenever she bosses around  my people, even  Masha..

She's really a fucking bitch!

But my mother, to my own disappointment treats her like she's really going to be my wife. She always go with her whenever Shanna wanted to shop.

Like now, they're going out again. Walking towards them, I forcefully yank my mother and brought her in an empty room. "What's the meaning of this mother?" I hissed.

She just stood there and look at me boredly. "Why? Didn't you choose her, as your wife?" She ask blankly.

I laugh bitterly and glare at the close door. "Choose? You're kidding right? I would never dream of marrying a conniving woman like her!!"

Mother's face change as she frown at me, and look at me worriedly. "What do you mean??"

My eyes glisten when I remember Masha, and I know that he's feeling hurt when I started avoiding him. I promised to protect him, and that's what I'm doing right now. Although its painful I am ready to sacrifice everything for him.

Looking back to my mother, "She threatened Masha's life.."

Her face pale, as she clutch her hands on her chest. "That woman, she have a nerve to smile at me like a saint but she's really a devil inside.. Let's see who is the true devil between us.. She's gonna pay for deceiving me..." An evil grin form on her lips and she begins to walk out of the room. "Well, I never thought that a day will come when you are going to sacrifice yourself for someone else. I guess I will leave everything to you because I'm sure that your genius mind already have a plan.."

My face morph evilly as I grin at her. "I'm not your son for nothing.."

"That's my boy.." She said while she flip her hair and sway her hips as she walk out the door.

--

Loud laughter, greeted me when I came down from my office. After my talk with my mother, I call one of my contact from Egypt. Because I want to know why Shanna is forcing herself on me, even though she knows that I already have a mate.

But my knees turn weak, when I saw the scene in front of me. It brought a pang of pain within me and I never thought that seeing Masha laughing with someone else beside me will hurt me like this.

Although its my fault that everything came to this, but still it hurts..

Darrel, Jess and Kia are with him. But an unknown girl is with them who is obviously flirting with Masha. The way she cling to his arms, giggling like a maniac while looking at him with a love strucked face.

Darrel and Jess look at me worriedly. Kia just huff on a far corner, while Masha move his eyes away from me when I came in. Totally avoiding me..

My brow twitch and my blood starts to boil. Fuming I walk over at him and grab his hands and drag him towards me. ''What's going on, Lo?!'' Masha exclaim while he fought my hold on him.

''Bro, stop it!'' Darrel call out while he run after us, even Jess and Kia. But I didn't gave took them notice and drag Masha with me. Arriving upstairs I open the door in my office and forcefully shove him inside, making him fall on the floor while I locked the door.

''Who is that girl?' Are you having a relationship with her?!" I stated angrily, and turn at him with fuming eyes.

He look at me defiantly and yelled, ''I don't have to tell you everything!!''

Something in me snap, when I thought that he might love someone else. That he like that girl more than me. My mind clouded with so much anger and my wolf starts resurfacing, as he feels the same way as I do. ''You're my responsibility and I have every right to know! And for Godsake you're still too young to think about having a relationship!!" I snap.

He flinch, but he didn't talk. And that makes me more enrage.. "Answer me!"

"Stop it, Lo!" Josh suddenly called out, opening the door.

Tsk.. Damn it! I totally forgot that he has the duplicate key for my office.

"Buzz off Josh, its our own problem so don't intervene.." I said coldly.

But a stinging sensation shoot from my left cheek, and with widen eyes I look at Josh while clutching my cheek. "Stop it! Can't you see that you're only hurting him!"

My body trembles when I saw Masha look at me with scared eyes. I scoot over him but he just step back from me.

His lips is trembling, while he stare at me. I saw his eyes swirl with so much emotion and then a lone tear fell from his eye.

I suddenly walk over him totally regretting my words, but he just run out of the door. Leaving me with a shattered heart, but not before I heard his sad broken sobs..

"Damn it!" I curse out, while I slump on my knees gripping my hair and pull it tightly. "I'm such an idiot!"

"But at least your siblings knew what you really felt now..." Josh murmur beside me. Snapping my head upwards, I saw Jess, Darrel and Kia looking at me guiltily.

"I actually wanted to tell you that you deserve it, but I guess you really like him huh?" Jess exclaim.

"But still why did you let that woman came here, that's so sly bro.." Darrel states.

"Its not like that, ugh its totally complicated.."

"Maybe but you still have to tell us because we can't help you if we don't know everything.'' Josh sighed as he cross his arms in front of chest and lift his brow at me. "Well?"

Sighing, I took a seat on my chair while they occupied the seats in front of my desk.

Here goes nothing..

--

"That bitch! I'm gonna kill her!!!" Darrel exclaimed angrily as he fume on his sit.

The others are the same, and surprisingly even Kia. Who would thought that she can be concerned to someone else, eh?

"So what's your plan now?" Josh ask.

"I'm still processing it, but you guys don't have to worry anymore.  Because like you I also want her out of our territory as soon as possible.."

Josh smirk at me, and I know that he's getting my drift.. "Like always eh, well the girl obviously didn't know that she can't mess with you." We look at each others eyes and burst out laughing, evilly.

"Ugh, guys you're scaring us!" Jess screeched out, but we just look at the triplets who are huddle near the door. Totally scared within their wits.

But they were all fall to the floor when the door burst open revealing the frantic face of my mother. "Louis, Masha is missing..."

--

Its been a week now, since Masha disappeared. But we still doesn't have any lead on where he is. And I'm scared that something might have happened to him. Especially now, that I unravel something about Shanna. I'm afraid that she might do something to him, and I'm not there to help him.

I blame my self every fucking day. If not for my aggressiveness or to my stupid actions he might not feel the need to ran away.

Although I know that it won't help me to find him. Still, those feelings won't leave me as it slowly eat my insides. Leaving me completely numb, and empty. As my wolf howl painfully inside me, feeling my anguish.

"You should forget him, Lo. Because our wedding are coming soon and I'm the only one who is doing all the work." My ears ring painfully when I heard Shanna's voice as she came inside my office. And quite honest, I'm already at my limit.

I've been busy this past dew days, searching for Masha so I totally forgot about her.

I know that I need to be careful about her issues with me, but she's really testing my patience.

"He is not coming back anymore, so what's the big deal. Are you honestly saying that he is your mate? Oh please, you are not gay Louis and obviously you are in love with me."

Oh God! Is she serious...

Bile of vomit starts to form on the pit of my stomach, as she smile at me while leaning down on my table. Leaving her bossom on full view. Is she seducing me? Oh god... I gag internally.

"And please that human boy is an abomination and he doesn't deserve you.." I snap my eyes at her.

My blood begin to boil as my wolf finally broke out of my control. My face begin to morph, as my claws came out. While my canine grew out, and I let out an angry growl. She screeches fearfully and starts to run towards the door but I grab her long hair and smash her head on the table.

I heard frantic steps, but I didn't stray my eyes away from her. "You are the one who is the trash, you bitch!" I growl back.

She starts whimpering and plead with me to forgive her, but I didn't listen while I grip her hair more tightly as her scalp starts to bleed. "You have the decency to lie on my people and now your badmouthing my mate in front of me. You just dig your grave, bitch!"

I brought my other hand, and grip her neck. And tightened my grip, ready to kill her.

"She doesn't deserve to die brother..." Kia suddenly blurted out while she grab my hand.

Looking at her, I saw her looked at me pleadingy. Breathing an air, I willed my wolf to calm down, and remove my hold on Shanna's neck, making her fall on the floor as she cried from so much pain. "Josh throw her away, and let the warriors know that she's banned from ever coming here.."

"No! You can't do this to me?!" She screeches, while she begun to thrash her body when Josh starts to drag her out of my office. "I'm going to be your Luna.." She sneered at me with hate filled gaze. ''You're going to regret rejecting me.....Louis!''

Her final words echo throughout the palace, and honestly it scared me. But someone put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. Turning around, a smile broke on my lips when I saw my siblings looked at me with understanding, as they pat my back affectionately. I guess I'm really lucky to have them. Even though they are quite a handful sometimes, I can't deny that there are also times that they can become caring with me, just like now.

"She's really crazy Lo.." Josh grimaced when he finally came in after a while.

I snicker, "Tell me about it.."

"God, no way! I don't want to remember.." He shiver and shook his head, after a couple of minutes he turn his head at me. "So what now?"

I stare at him, while he look back inquiringly and even the triplets have the same look as him.

Sighing, I stood up and grin at them mischievously. "We're going for a hunt.."
