Chapter 28: DANGER 2

ALPHA ZAC'S POV

Seeing the way Brimstone was so angry made me realize that he was already getting possessive of Monica. He might be thinking he had no feelings for her yet but his heart already recognized her and he was already seeing her as his own which was a piece of good news to me but I felt bad that I gave him the impression that I was into his woman when I had never thought of being with her as a couple before.

I decided to melt things down with him and thankfully, although he didn't fully believe me, things still returned to normal between us and I was glad to see him smile to me again. We entered the car, driving down to the secret meeting we have with the Alphas and I was still vibing to Westlife music when he spoke up about some rats and when I looked behind us, I could really see them behind us and I couldn't help but chuckle as it was funny. Judging from the confidence on their faces as they were riding on their bikes, they must have thought they were coming for small fishes that they could hunt without weapons but it was a pity that they made the wrong turn.

"Should we wait for them or should we take them to a place where we could deal with them very well?" I asked Brimstone who had a devilish smile on his face but his smile died down the moment I spoke and I frowned "What's it?" I asked and he sucked in a deep breath. "We can't. We shouldn't fight today, we can't afford to get stained." He said and I shook my head in confusion "What are you talking about? Why can't we get stained? Isn't it just a normal Alphas meeting?" I asked and he smiled.

"Well... This is all for you. Alpha Trent is coming today." Brimstone revealed and my eyes widened. I covered my mouth and gasped! "Are you kidding me? Are you joking right now?" I asked, filled with shock and curiosity with the hope that he wouldn't tell me he was joking or I could really beat him to a pulp right there, not minding the fact that he was stronger than me~ "Hm~" He hummed and winked at me "I won't lie to you. I know how much you miss him already." He replied and my heart started racing, my face flushed and my hands became sweaty. "How... Why..." I lost my voice and all I could utter with scattered words, expressing what I felt at that moment. "I mean..." I cleared my throat and closed my eyes, trying to control my emotions so I could talk properly. "How did this happen? Did... did he not always give an excuse that... he ... he is in school? I thought he wasn't... around, was he?" I finally uttered what was on my mind and Brimstone turned to look at me.

Brimstone laughed and shook his head "He can always be busy but not when I called for him. I was going through some files for today's meeting yesterday when I saw the picture you took together with him a few years ago before you fought and I decided to give him a call. I asked him if he knew about the meeting we are having today but he said he's still in school and I told him I have to see him there today because It's a very important meeting and everyone must attend it. I expected him to plead with me but surprisingly, he agreed and I could even feel the excitement in his voice. It seems you ain't the only one missing him, he is missing you too." He explained and I rolled my eyes.

Thinking about Trent surely made me a little sad but the excitement to see him was more than the sadness and I couldn't wait to see his handsome face again. Trent and I had been friends since childhood just as Brimstone and Ruby had been friends. We were very close, we would eat together, wear the same clothes, Go places together, and do everything together until I started developing feelings for him. It was strange at first as I had always imagined myself to be straight until then and everything seemed like rubbish to me.

I tried to disregard my feelings toward him as I felt like I was only going crazy for a moment and it would be fine later on but my feelings became clearer the day I saw him kissing and smooching a one-night stand girl when we went to a night club together. For some reason that day, I felt jealousy swell up inside me and I was red with anger. Well... that was the same day I told him about how I felt toward him. I told him how strange it was to me too and I let him know that I was already head over heels in love with him but what I received from him was a push to the chest and he said ~ "You must have misunderstood your feelings because we've been friends for so long. I think we should stop here. Anyway, I'm traveling abroad to further my education and I won't be coming back in a while so I think this is for the best. Let's not see again and you will understand your heart better." With that, he walked away and that was the last day I saw him.

I tried many times to forget about him and move on but it wasn't easy. It had been 10 years already but my heart was still the same and today, I would be seeing him again but I hope he would still be single and without a mate. "Let's drive faster, Brimstone. My heart is going to burst like this, I can't take it anymore." I said to Brimstone who eyed me, chuckled, and focused on his driving.
