Chapter 36
Arielyn
“Okay, the thing is my father, the king, wants whoever is able to get the Orient to him to become the king, now you know what the Orient is right?”
he asked. Of course, I knew what that is, it recently became a hot topic, but how will they get that without it resulting in war or dispute the blue ray pack as far as I know was a rebel pack, and the Orient even though was a large unfruitful land was their pride, maybe not unfruitful anymore if the rumors that there are diamond there are true.
“Don’t see that happening, that’s literally mission impossible, the blue ray pack is a bunch of crazy wolves, why will the king want his sons to fight for something like that? Not only is it dangerous for everyone in the pack but even humans and other breeds will be affected,”
I couldn’t stop myself from saying, just thinking about him having to deal with anything related to that pack was scary, they were so far from modern life, most of the pack members still live like the olden days, and only a few which are the elites have interactions with other packs and breeds even that interaction is limited, the king was asking for the impossible.
“I know it sounds impossible but it is not, especially if I meet the right people who have the right connection, the blue ray pack are not as bad as other packs make them out to be,”
He said and I looked at him like he has lost his mind, he obviously has because, most of that pack is inaccessible to other breeds, especially humans and wolves, no human goes there and comes back sane, that’s why the government placed a ban on the entrance of the place, only members of other packs were aware of what goes on there, they were dangerous and uncivilized.
“You are not real, right? They are nothing like you and me or the rest of us, they are blood tasty and are not afraid to kill, have you ever killed someone?”
I asked and he shook his head.
“Well, that pack will especially when you want something that is theirs,”
I responded. I wish I was overreacting but it was true, there have been a number of casualties from that place even while studying in Dilgem, I had some scary news too, not a place to mess with.
“That’s what Father wants and if I want to be king, I have to get it somehow and your dad is the only one that can help, at least the only honest one.”
He said and I rolled my eyes, was my dad honest? The man was anything but that, or maybe he is, I don’t even know him enough to conclude.
“Wait, is that why Jordan is trying to be friends with me? You mean my dad was the one that gave the loser my contact?”
I asked as the dots started connecting, no wonder Jordan had been hell-bent on talking to me earlier.
“You met Jordan already? We got your contact only today,”
Ken said in a somewhat disappointed voice, I couldn’t conclude if the disappointment in his voice was directed at me or himself for Jordan beating him to it, I hope it was the latter but just so we are clear that the meeting was not planned I told him.
“I didn’t meet him because I wanted to, I told you before that I was going out with my friend Win-rose, well when we went to get something to eat after we were done with what we went to do, your brother showed, I didn’t talk to him, I was surprised when he called me, I was just dropping his call when you came in,”
I explained.
“Did he tell you anything when he called?”
He asked and I nodded and told him the trash Jordan had said on the phone.
“Are you going to meet up with him?”
he asked and I had to be sure he was sane.
“Are you kidding? There is no way you think I will meet up with him, if you don’t know it yet Ken, I will spell it out to you, I hate your brother,”
I let out trying to calm myself, there was no need to be mad at Ken, he didn’t know me enough to know what I can or can’t do.
“I am sorry, it’s just that you guys have some connections and I can’t beat that,”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
He replied.
“Jordan and I have no connection or whatever, I hate him and will rather die than have anything to do with him,”
I responded.
“I get it now,”
He said and there was silence in the room for a while.
“So, what do you intend to do? I can’t help you with this, I don’t want to do anything that my dad wants, I am sorry,”
I said after a long silent moment, he smiled weakly at me and I felt my heart leap. I really wanted to help him but it would be to my own disadvantage.
“It is fine, get some rest, don’t think about what I said,”
He said and got up to leave but before he did, he leaned down and placed a kiss on my forehead. I wasn’t expecting that and the grasp I let out was my honest reaction to the sudden kiss.
“Goodnight Arielyn,”
He said and walked out leaving me sitting there and wondering why he did that, nothing we talked about warranted a kiss as sensual, romantic, and mind-blowing like a forehead kiss and he was the only one that has done that to me.
