Chapter 10
“Ms. Asthrid! Everything’s in, it’s cramped, but they’re in. Where will I sit?” Hopefully the luggages would be easy to take out later on.
She rolled down her window and scoffed at me. “You think you’re sitting in this car? Can you hear yourself?” She said to me as she pointed at the other car with the luggages.
“But… there’s no more room…” I, of course, didn’t want to sit in the other car, I wanted to convince her, but before I could talk, she rolled up her windows, leaving me with no other choice.
I was able to make enough room for the luggage and myself, but I am squeezed by the window. She is really making my life as hard as she possibly can. She forced me to go somewhere that I don’t want to be at, and I was forced to sit uncomfortable on the way there.
I think this is really the time, if I were to run away on the Annual Pack Gathering, escape from the pack. Then, I think I would be home free. I’ll need to think this through, if I want my plan to succeed, everything must be perfect.
Grant’s POVUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
The night of the Annual pack gathering has finally arrived, some of the guests are already arriving. While the Annual pack gathering preparations are nearing the time of completion, the decorations are just being put up by the girls. Hopefully if they would make the cut, the decorations of the Annual pack gathering would be out of this world. They needed to finish everything they were doing before the Alpha family actually arrived, hopefully they would be finished putting up those decorations before that.
I can’t do much but to just tell them what to do, and hopefully they won’t ruin anything else, like the blue carpet. I really have to get rid of that guy, I can’t afford any screw ups at the moment.
Despite being the guy that wants to get out of here as fast as possible, I am too concerned about the wellbeing of the party, and how it will turn out. But the Annual pack gathering still needs something, it’s missing something and I can’t get my mind wrapped on it…
Yes! Security! Even if the Alpha family is attending the Annual Pack Gathering, I still need to provide them with a safe haven, I need to make sure that nothing will go wrong, especially for their safety since I will be the one responsible if anything happens during the Annual Pack Gathering.
I need to find someone, somebody I can actually trust with my life, with the life of all the other packs. I need Ralph, I should call him now while it’s still early. I need to meet with my fellow Omega warriors.
“Hey! Is this Mr. Elliot?”
“I’m sorry, this is his secretary, and how may I assist you?” His secretary? Since when did he get a secretary? That’s odd…
“Hi! Is Ralph not there?”
“I’m so sorry sir, but he is not currently in the vicinity, but I could call him and ask if it’s urgent?” Her voice sounds nice, cute, and charming at the same time, I might need to ask her name from Ralph later.
This is taking too long, I still need to coordinate with whatever team he is going to assemble for this important task, will he be able to make it here on time? Hopefully he isn’t too far away at the moment, this is an important piece that I can’t sleep on, if anything happens to anyone here, my life would just get worse than it already is.
A stupid party, for stupid guests, this is a waste of my precious time, I could be doing something that would actually be worth something, not this lane excuse of a party, they keep saying that I will meet the love of my life here, my soul mate, but I don’t believe in any of that, fate isn’t real. Most of us should know that it isn’t real, none of it will come true because fate isn’t something that connects two people, it’s just a mere coincidence.
“Umm… Are you still there, what was your name again?”
I was startled, I thought she hung up earlier. “Yes! Oh… Sorry, my name is Grant.” I was still polite to her, she sounds nice, I didn’t want to come off as a rude and aggressive person.
“Grant? Oh I’m so sorry, I didn’t recognize your voice, I had contacted Mr. Elliot, and he said that he will just call you, thank you calling!” She was enthusiastic the whole time, why am I thinking about this, should I still ask her name? You know what? No, I will just stay on my lane and not interfere, besides, I already have women of my own to satisfy my needs, and I’d rather not have any attachments to anyone else.
A couple of moments later, my phone was suddenly ringing, when I picked it up, it was Ralph. “Hey Ralph! How are you?”
“I’m doing fine, look, let’s just cut to the chase, what do you need Grant?”
“Wow, no hello? Okay okay, I need manpower, you know that I can’t exactly do all of this by myself.”
“Do what by yourself?” He was sarcastic, but I knew that he knew what I was talking about.
“Really? You’re pulling that off right now? Look, I just need the security of the party, that’s all.”
Ralph Grup is a sophisticated man, I know he fully trusts me more than I actually trusts him, he is also older than me, but I think of that as a good sign that he looks and acts way more mature than me, I trust him and whoever he brings along with him to patrol the borders, the walls to make sure everyone inside would be safe and sound, with him on security, I will be rest assured that nothing bad will happen.
“That party? You’re going to that party? I thought you were better than that.” He was still sarcastic, I can hear him over the phone laughing.
