Chapter 11
“There is nothing like being born with a curse Jordan, you should know better,”
I said.
“You know nothing about the werewolf myths and I am not surprised,”
Jordan responded. I decided I was done with the talk, I didn’t like the direction he was heading to, if we continued like this, I might end up beating him up too.
“You know what? Let’s just talk about what brought us here, what did you want to talk to me about?”
I asked.
“Oh, that, I have an offer for you,”
He said dropping the ice pack on the table.
“Do you want to order anything? It is on me,”
He said but I just wanted to hear what he had to say and be gone from his presence.
“No, just tell me, what kind of offer do you have for me?”
I asked folding my hands and waiting for him to answer the question.
“It is an offer that you would not want to miss, and I implore you to give it a lot of thought before you give me an answer,”
He said and I wondered what it was about, what could he possibly offer me that I don’t have or would not be able to give myself? I couldn’t come up with anything.
“Speak up, I don’t have all day,”
I said impatiently, I already knew that whatever it was, I am going to say no to him.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Don’t be in such a hurry brother, I am sure you would love it and I hope you accept it because it is not every day that such a generous offer comes to you and not everyone would experience it in their lifetime,”
He said beating about the bush, I eyed him.
“If you are not going to say what it is, I would leave right now,”
I warned.
“Okay, here it is, the thing is, I want something in return,”
He said and I just had to laugh, what did he think he is?
“Not only do you have a once-in-a-lifetime offer for me, but you also want something in return? What makes you think I would accept what you have to offer?”
I asked.
“You will be a fool not to accept it,”
He responded, he was still straying and not telling what he had for me and what he wanted in return.
“Let’s hear it Jordan.”
I implored.
“Let go of the position and tell Father you don’t have interest in being the alpha king and in exchange, I would give you two hundred billion dollars,”
He said and I couldn’t believe what I heard, no way he just offered me money in place of giving up being the alpha, I let out a laugh.
“You are joking right?”
I asked.
“Do I look like I am joking to you? I am being serious right now, I want the throne without a competition and you don’t stand a chance, I don’t want to waste time by doing nonsense that Father wants so I am asking you nicely and offering this opportunity,”
He said and I lost it.
“You are out of your mind Jordan, I know you are sick but I didn’t think you will get to this point,”
I let out, I knew this was what he wanted to tell me and he denied it, I was the fool for wasting time here with him and even getting dragged into an argument with him and Arielyn, I should have just declined and gone back to the office, I had things to put in place and here I was sitting with an entitled idiot.
“Why are you shouting? I am just giving you an easy way out here, you know you can’t win against me,”
He said.
“You don’t know that,”
I responded as I got up from my seat, I couldn’t sit here and listen to his crap, what? He would give me money to step out of the race for the throne? I had more money than the bastard, the fact that I don’t go showing off doesn’t mean it is not true, I am the youngest billionaire in the whole of Owhen and he wasn’t even in the top twenty, maybe I should remind him that.
“Why are you leaving? I am trying to save you from an embarrassing situation here, do you really think Father would make you the next alpha?”
He said and I stopped on my track and turned back to him.
“What? Do you really think he would? How are you so gullible?”
“What makes you think if I win Father won’t give me the throne?”
I asked.
“Isn’t it obvious? Do you want me to spell it out to you? Well, I will be your guest, not only are you not a legitimate son of father, you are half human and half wolf, Do you think someone like you is fit to be alpha? Think again Kendrix, think with your brain,”
He said with a laugh, it took everything in me not to punch him and watch him roll in pain, he has been saying shit like this to me since the day we met it shouldn’t be something new.
“I will tell you what, I will let Father decide, if he father thought I don’t qualify to be the alpha, he won’t have suggested this would he?”
I said.
“Even if Father makes you alpha, you think the pack will let a Lycan be king? You will lose whichever way, it is best to take my offer and walk,”
He responded, I decided o was done talking to him, and walked away while he called for me to come back even saying that I will regret turning his offer down, well his outburst and the stupid offer did one thing, it made me more determined to win whatever challenge father gives us and be the next alpha king
