Get rid of him

Get rid of him

BASIL’S POV

The next line of action was what I wasn’t sure about, Dean would be out and Serena would find her way back to Shaun, the latter was what I wanted to avoid by all means.

Rick didn’t think I was being selfish by wanting her to stay back with me in the mansion so I was good to go.

The excitement on my face when Willow accused Dean wrongly was almost contagious because I knew Serena would stay back to prove her brother’s innocence.

If I had stepped in earlier, I would have been able to prove Dean’s innocence and Serena wouldn’t be here again but at the same time, I didn’t want Dean to die for a crime he didn’t commit.

“We need to come up with a plan or she will leave after Dean is declared innocent tomorrow” I informed Rick, he was taking this with levity.

“She won’t leave, the plan we executed worked on her already” His response to me,

I didn’t forget that we had carried out a plan some days ago but I was scared it didn’t work, she doesn’t seem to me like someone who has given up on going back to her lover.

“If it doesn’t work, I’ll lose her just like that” I decided to tell him what was at stake,

“Give me a minute” he cooed, he had better think of what else we could do just like I was doing.

Getting Dean out of where he is and proving his innocence to the pack members costs me nothing, absolutely nothing, so I wasn’t worried about that.

I adjusted myself on the couch and fixated my gaze straight in front of me, I needed to come up with something on time and it felt as though my head was blank.

My twin showed up and I knew because his scent filled my nostrils, we hadn’t had a proper conversation in days and I was certain that it was killing him already.

I didn’t mean to ignore him all this while and still ignore him right now but I didn’t like that he took sides with Willow even after I showed him evidence of her committing treason,

When Serena told me about it at first, I didn’t believe her but when I saw evidence that was provided to me by the werewolves I instructed them to keep an eye on her, I was shocked.

It took me hours to come around to the fact that my twin and I have been making love to a traitor for more than ten years and not just that, we discuss the pack’s delicate issue in her presence only for her to sell us out!

“Who could have thought that you’d fall hopelessly in love with Serena at some point in your life?” Rick teased, I would take this as a tease.

“I’ve told you this times without count and I won’t hesitate to tell you again, I’m not in love with her and I’m only doing her a favor” I lectured him,

“You wish” He growled.

“What do you think will happen to her if she ignores the fact that we are mated and leaves the pack?” I asked him an honest question,

“We both know that the bond isn’t a big problem, right?” His response to me, I was beginning to think that he doesn’t like responding to questions.

“It is, the last time I checked” I cooed.

“If this happened ten years ago, wouldn’t you have been desperately looking for a way to break the bond?” He inquired,

“That’s why it didn’t happen ten years ago” I didn’t think before saying this to him and I might have just indirectly agreed with him.

“That’s your little way of agreeing with me” he howled, I had no more response for him as regards this issue.

Bernard had his seat and I still refused to take a glance at him, Roman and I could tell that he wanted to discuss something with me but this wasn’t the right time.

It was the first time we were staying away from each other for this long so he must be wondering what went wrong or maybe he knows already.

I crossed my legs and heaved a deep sigh, I still hadn’t been able to find a way to keep my new obsession in the mansion, and yes, this was me agreeing that Serena is my new obsession,

Roman had better not say a word, I would blame what I feel for her on the bond that we now share, I couldn’t have become obsessed with her if we didn’t get mated.

“You must have forgotten but you’ve been feeling a certain type of way about her before you both got mated unintentionally” Roman mentioned, I didn’t know what he was talking about.

“If this is about the bond, why then is Serena not feeling the same way you’re feeling?” He put it to me, that was a rhetorical question for me.

“And how did you know she’s not feeling the same way I’m feeling?” I had a change of mind and decided to give him a response.

“Maybe because she wants to return to her man by all means,” he remarked,

I didn’t like that he reminded me she had a man she wanted to return to, he could have said maybe because she wants to return to where she came from by all means, I would have preferred that.

Already, I was done having a conversation with him about how I felt or he wouldn’t stop making fun of the situation and that was the last thing I wanted at the moment.

“If you hadn’t been mated to Serena when you caught Willow, wouldn’t you have danced to Bernard’s tune?” Rick decided not to stop speaking about my feelings.

“Well, I’m a terrible dancer, if you’ll just let me be!” I responded harshly to him and I didn’t regret it,

He was trying to tell me that I was insisting on crucifying Willow based on my feelings for Serena, I sometimes hate that he can interfere with my thoughts.

Bernard cleared his throat for the umpteenth time within the space of a few minutes and I kept on acting as though he didn’t catch my attention with that act of his.

I had some preparations to make for tomorrow and if he still hasn’t spoken in three minutes from now, he won’t get a chance to speak with me today again.

“Tomorrow is the execution, I mean the day when Willow will be killed and we’ll never see her again” He broke the ongoing silence, it was as though he read my mind or perhaps it’s twin telepathy at work.

“Thanks for reminding me” I stared at his face and said or what was he expecting me to respond with?

“It’s hard to believe that you still haven’t had a change of mind” he spoke to me calmly, I liked that we weren’t doing things the hard way.

“Let’s just say that I don’t and can never forgive werewolves who betray my pack,” I told him for free.

I stood up because I was done having a conversation with him, him mentioning Willow made me recall that I would love to speak to her one last time,

There definitely won’t be time to have a conversation with her tomorrow so I decided to do it tonight, I just wanted to know why she did what she did.

Bernard said she must have done it out of pressure and I want to know if he’s right or if he was only trying to justify her actions, I have a whole of questions for her.

“I’m not done speaking to you” Bernard’s voice reached me,

“I didn’t mean to walk out on you but I have somewhere to be” I replied in a loud tone so his ears could catch.

“You didn’t walk out on me, you walked out on us!” He screamed, it was so easy to tell that he was upset again.

I stepped into the compound without worrying about the fact that my twin just made it known to me that I walked out on us, I think he did that first the minute he decided to support Willow.

“You can have Serena and still have Bernard, you don’t have to pick one of them” Rick lectured and I didn’t know what prompted that.

The second Bernard agrees with me that Willow ought to be punished, we will be back to how we used to be, that I can assure him.

I stepped into the prison and all my ears caught were noises, it seemed the inmates had all found something to do to get rid of boredom.

“Get rid of Shaun, what do you think about that?” Rick growled and I choked on saliva,

“What do you mean by getting rid of him?” Curiosity made me ask and I did inwardly.
