"If you can't do it, then back down, the twins accepted they can't compete and they aren't here right now, if you think it is ridiculous and undoable then quit and I will find people that can do it, I don't need a weakling taking over from me,"
Father responded.
"I am not back out, aren't you going to say something? This concerns you too,"
Jordan directed at me.
"I already said something, you heard father, this is what we should do and he is not changing his mind,"
I responded.
"Yes, I am not changing my mind, I only want good things for our own, if we are able to get a hold of that land before it is tempered with, do you know what it will do for our pack? Do you know the economic impact it will give? Now think about it as an alpha would and decide if you would do it or not, mind you, I am giving you both three months,"
Father said and once again, Jordan was shouting out his disagreement with the arrangement while I sat and quietly weighed my options, thinking about it at first, it may seem undoable but that wasn't the case, yes, it is going to be very hard to get the land not only because of the rumored diamonds available on it but because it a huge land that no one will willingly give away even at the highest price but everyone has price and I just have to find a way to get through whoever it is that handle the affairs of the land, for that to happen, I needed the right connections, problem is, where the fuck I am going to get it from, if Veronica was still here, she would have been such a great help, I couldn't help the sad feeling that settle in me at the thought of the woman I could not protect, she trusted me but I hadn't been there for her and let her die like that.
"The other part played on your great grandfather's kindness and stole what's ours, it is time for us to take it back even if we have to pay to take it back, I trust my sons who are successful businessmen will be able to pull this off without a fight breaking out,"
Our father said with so much confidence that I wanted to laugh, he quite literally just declared war with what he is asking for, assuming there won't be issues between the pack was too high and confidence for what he asked for but I wasn't about to tell him that, he already said he won't back out of what he asked for, if he sees just how impossible it is, he might withdraw and give us another ultimatum.
"I will send out the contacts of the right people I know can help, I can't do anything else because this is a competition between you two, I will only assist with people that can help you, mind you, I am sending them equally, it will be up to how you approach them for them to be on your side, May the best man win,"
Father said as he got up and walked out on us, I sat there for a few moments in silence before getting up to leave when I remembered the woman in my car.
"So? What are you going to do?"
Jordan asked walking up to me, I ignored him and walked towards my car, I didn't know what or how to go about my father's request just yet but I wasn't about to tell the loser that.
"You know, you can still take what I offered and we both won't have to go through stress,"
He said.
"Fuck off,"
I answered. I looked up ahead to where I parked my car and saw Arielyn standing next to my car, she looked confused, I increased my pace and got to her in no time.
"You are awake,"
I said and she turned to look at me.
"Yes, I am, where is this place?"
She asked looking around, her face turned into a deep frown and I followed the direction of her eyes to see Jordan was the reason for the frown.
"I am sorry, I had something to talk to my father about and you fell asleep, we will leave now,"
I said ushering her into the car, Jordan walked up to us at that moment.
"You brought her with you?"
He asked and I glared at him.
"That's none of your business,"
I fired.
"Oh wow, you guys are a thing?"
Jordan asked looking from Arielyn to me.
"That's none of your business,"
I responded, guiding Arielyn who was already so pissed off into the car, she entered without arguing or acknowledging Jordan, I walked around the car to the driver seat and opened the door but Jordan stopped me from getting in.
"What? Get out of my way,"
I let out. I was not in the mood to deal with him right now or ever.
"Do you even know the woman you are going around with? Do you know her at all? If I were you, I would find out about her before going around town with her,"
He said and I resisted the urge to push him off.
"You are not me, get out of my way, I don't see how this is any of your concern,"
I said.
"Right, I agree, you know what? You two suit each other, a loser half human, half wolf and a cursed wolf, perfect match,"
Jordan said and I felt my anger increase, like no matter how I tried to I just couldn't help the anger that boiled in me, I felt my whole body heat up in anger, I pushed him out of the way and he landed on his butt, I charged towards him and launched a punch in his face...
