The Dark Side Of Fate

Alpha Christian’s Opinion

~Liam~

Restlessly, I waited in my room, eagerly anticipating my father’s summons to his office. He had given me his word that I could be present when he contacted Alpha Christain, and I anxiously awaited that crucial call.

Harper had retreated to her room to freshen up, while I remained in mine, contemplating ways to assist. The details of the situation still eluded me, but I hoped that clarity would soon prevail. Anxious thoughts filled my mind, but I hesitated to confront the problem directly. If Sophia hadn’t confided in me about her and her mother’s distress, perhaps I could have found some solace in the notion that time was on our side. I knew her father would never harm her, which was precisely why he had sent them away initially. However, I couldn’t extend the same assurance to the unidentified men who held her and her mother captive on their vessel.

Marvin’s voice echoed in my mind, asking, “How did it go with your folks?”

It was frustrating that we weren’t living in the mansion alongside everyone else. I couldn’t help but wonder why my parents had chosen to isolate themselves in this way. If it weren’t for the current issue that had arisen, I would have requested to return to the Alpha’s wing of the mansion. I’d be lying if I said growing up in the bungalow wasn’t enjoyable. It gave the surroundings a more welcoming and less rigid atmosphere. But now, all I wanted was to be where everyone else was, especially after finding Sophia.

“They won’t send us to Grizlo, but they’re assigning us to investigate that matter from Lucland under Uncle Vino’s supervision,” I responded to Marvin, who remained silent for a moment.

“Alright, we should have a meeting after dinner. I’ll let everyone know. Maybe we can gather in the beta’s lounge. My father never uses it, so it’s just going to waste. They’re always in the Alpha’s lounge,” Marvin suggested, and I expressed my gratitude for the invitation, although I doubted it would be feasible.

“I’ll inform Harper,” I connected with him through our mind link and then severed the connection.

My brother Keith informed me that our mother had instructed us to gather at the mansion for dinner. Naturally, we wouldn’t be dining in the bungalow. It was our first day back home, and my father would expect a complete family gathering. I quickly got up and hastily dressed. Seeing everyone would undoubtedly be wonderful, but I couldn’t fully embrace the moment. How could I be happy knowing that Sophia was somewhere in danger?

As I reached the door, I encountered Harper on her way out. She had attempted to establish a mental link with me, but I must have unintentionally blocked her off. It was a peculiar habit of mine, albeit unintentional.

“How are you feeling?” she asked, her smile brightening the room as Joseph and Keith darted past us, engaged in a race to the mansion. I knew the Lucland Academy would have its hands full when they joined.

“I’m pushing through,” I replied, and she smiled in response.

“Hopefully, Alpha Christian has some fantastic news for us,” she said, and I smiled back, acknowledging her efforts to uplift my spirits.
