Losing Hope

Chapter 37 - Discombobulate

(Him - Ryder) Now...

The day was weird and complicated. We didn't find anything new but Ethan meeting his cousins was great. I even find that Stan looks younger. He and Roman want to meet Nikolaï and Dariya but Ezequiel and Masha both dissuaded them to meet Dariya. They also offered their help if they really wanted to meet them. They will, I think, once we've Hope back.

Anton asked to meet me in private and I'm surprised to see him with Alistair when I join them in front of my office. I let them both in my office before closing the door.

"Do you have anything to drink here, Alpha Ryder?" Alistair asks me.

I point at my world globe and see him frown. So I walk toward it and open it.

"Wow! I love it!" He comments.

"Thanks. It was a gift to my great-grandfather. What would you like to drink?"

"Do you have some whisky, Alpha?" Alpha Anton asked me.

"Sure and maybe we can drop the Alpha now?" I reply.

"Good idea! Do you have some rum, Please?" Alistair asks.

I nod and serve them what they asked and serve another whisky for myself.

"So what did you want to talk about Anton?" I ask after a few minutes.

"It's about your initiation in our very private club." Anton reply.

"What club?" I ask. I never heard about a club for Alpha's sons and Alphas.

"The M.I.B." Alistair says.

"What?!"

"The M.I.B., men in the back. We're all mated to powerful women. The most powerful women!" Anton develops.

"Yeah, it's just normal that we stick together as we are sharing the same problems and frustrations." Alistair adds.

"Like what?"

"Mainly stupid pups lusting at what's our. The one who wants to destroy them. We're the one in the shadow helping them to grow and to become the better version of themselves." Anton explains while Alistair nods.

"We swear to always support ourselves, to have our backs and to share our problems with someone who can understand what we're leaving. We are both strong wolves but still we don't have the strength of our mates. That we don't care but nobody except someone in the same position can understand." Alistair adds.

"So are you in?" Anton asks me.

"The hell I'm in! I'm honored that you're already accepted me in your very private and secret club."

"You're Hope's mate and we saw even in the few hours we're here that you love her. So that's enough for us." Alistair comments.

"Do you realize that you can't tell anyone about that club to anyone even our mates don't know! Do you swear to keep the secret and to always have my and Anton's back? " Alistair says, cutting his hand. Where did this knife come from?! He should have brought it. He gives me the knife.

I take it and cut my hand too.

I shake his hand and reply: " I swear!"

Anton takes the knife and cuts his hand while saying: " Do you swear to always support us the men in the back even if we're totally wrong and our jealousy has the best of us."

I shake his hand and smile, this is also working with speaking out of anger : " I swear!"

"Welcome bro!" They both say with a bro hug.
