The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Kendrix

“She is beautiful, she should be ours,”

My wolf kept singing as the most beautiful woman I have ever seen since I came to this country more than twelve years ago walked away holding onto her friend. I do agree she was beautiful but she wasn’t ours, far from it, the only woman that was meant to be ours laid six feet beneath the earth, I couldn’t protect her and lost her forever.

“She should be ours,”

My wolf said again, this time a little too loud.

“Cut it out, she is not for us, every pretty woman is ours? You werewhore,”

I scolded silently, chances are we might never see each other again, my other half must be so lonely since it’s been eight years since our mate left us, the thought of the woman I couldn’t protect burned through me, I shook the thoughts off as I made my way towards where the lad who had been under my care for the past two weeks was, Raul who still struggling with losing his whole family has been having different session for the past two weeks since he came to live with me, I understood the lad because I went through the same shit even though I didn’t lose my family, it was hell coming to live in Owhen at eighteen and learning about myself and identity without my mom, prior to moving here, my mom had been my best friend and everything but when I came to live here, I couldn’t be with her and didn’t hear from her for two whole years, worst of all, the only other person I could really on died, Veronica was like a light in my dark world, she came to me, smiled brightly and that was it, everything was okay because I had her but little did I know that she would be taken away from me, in the most brutal way, her only offense? She was a vampire, I couldn’t protect her and it still kills me inside every day knowing that it would have been two of us doing great things in this country if her life hadn’t been cut short, the thought of her always leaves a sad bitter taste in my mouth and no matter the years that have passed, I couldn’t forget her, I tried but it didn’t work.

“Doc? How is he?”

I asked the doctor who smiled at me as I walked in.

“He is good, nothing to worry about, he just needs to rest, and eat properly,”

The doctor said and I let out a sigh of relief, I was worried that he might have gone too far this time, the boy has been trying to harm himself ever since he woke up from his coma and I couldn’t and would not let that happen, not on my watch, I will keep him with me and show the world that vampires are not the problem, they never were, it just that most are evil just like how every other breed in the world have evil.

I walked to where he lay when the doctor left and sat with him, he looked better than he did when he had arrived and the doctor said it was thanks to how he was positioned when he arrived at the clinic, it was all thanks to the beautiful female if I had known she was a doctor, I would have let her do her job more but I didn’t until we were almost here, in my defense, she didn’t look like a doctor, far from it, she looked like the spoilt daughter of a rich family, I looked up to see Raul staring at me.

“You are awake? Good,”

I said but he ignored me for a while before turning back to me.

“When do I leave this place?”

He asked in a dejected voice.

“The driver will take you back home and Rachael is waiting for you,”

I said to him

“Stop trying to save me, I just want to die, I don’t want to live, what’s the point of being alive when no one I love is here anymore? I want to be dead too,”

He cried.

“You will not die, it doesn’t work like that, plus, I told you before that I will be a substitute family, I can’t bring your family back but I can help make it better,”

I tried but nothing I said or said made any difference and I couldn’t blame him, losing his whole family in one day broke him. Before his death, his dad had been one of my loyal workers, once again the reason the whole family was murdered? They were vampires, I couldn’t figure out why innocent people had to pay for the sins of others, I just couldn’t get the concept of massive hate against innocent beings just because of what they are, werewolves and vampires can’t coexist. Just why? One of the many reasons I want to become king so badly is to stop the madness, stop the unnecessary murder and isolation of families when they are found to be different, Owhen despite being at the top of its game development wise failed to protect its people and my father the ruler who could make things better was doing nothing, the rich get richer while the minorities who are poor get poorer, it is even worst if anyone is poor and also food to be a different breed but these same wolves whine and dine with humans at will, not like I had anything against humans, my mom was one so I have no problem with them but if werewolves could eat and be friends with humans, why couldn’t they do the same with vampires?This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

I sent the lad home with my housekeeper Rachael and made sure they will watch him while I round up what I had to do at the company, I knew he would be fine as I have a lot of people working for me at my home, and I trust them to take care of him while I work, I was almost done when my phone rang, it was a shock to see who was calling, he hasn’t called my number for at least six months and counting.

“Hey,”

I said as I picked up the phone, it was so rare to get a call from any of my brothers and I didn’t know what to expect.

“Father wants us to come home,”

He said not even bothering to say hi, well, I couldn’t blame him, we grew up hating each other, more like Jordan hated me and made sure I knew it, he also made sure I knew where I stood in the family, not like I was in need of what they could give, far from it, I got a small inheritance from my maternal grandmother and once I landed in Owhen all those years ago, I decided to invest and now, I owned one of the biggest companies in Owhen, the only reason my father could finally see me as someone worthy of being in his presence was when my business blew up, and my business did not just blow up, no, I spent years working on it, my first three years were nothing to write about, I even got scammed, the only person that believed in me despite how young we both were was Veronica but the year things got better, when I could finally start to see the light, she died and I went back to zero and spent the next two years being a shadow of myself, my mom, she saved me again and made me see reasons to live and now all I want is to be at the very top and change things, nope, I am not trying to be an avenger, far from it, I have flaws, too many flaws but I wanted the world I live in to be a better place for everyone and that’s the biggest goal of my life, even knowing I might not stand a chance at being king even though I am my father’s first son, Jordan was his first born by marital rights, and I know my father favours him, my hope is my father would do the right thing for once because I am sure he knows I am the right person to do the job and I have proven it a lot of times.

“I have heard,”

I said and just like that, he ended the call, I dropped my phone and looked out through the window of my office.

My goal is to be king and I have worked hard to earn a name, to be worthy of the title, I just needed something big to happen to influence my father’s decision and I am currently working on it. One thing about me, if I wanted something so bad, I would definitely get it.

“Let’s get her too,”

My wolf chipped in.

“No, we won’t,”

I scolded and could hear his scowl. I couldn’t give him what he wanted, at least not right now. A woman is the last thing on my mind now. My goals are big and I need all the focus in the world to achieve them, with no distractions, also ok what are the chances that we would meet again? Zero.

Going back to my father’s house wasn’t in my schedule this week and I honestly don’t want to listen to him talk about himself over and over again but I had to, if I want my plans to go well, it was even better that he requested to see me and I couldn’t pass down on that, well, that can wait till tomorrow, today I needed to go home, fix myself and have myself a nice evening outing later, it’s been a while I visited the clubhouse even though I owned it.
