THE RETURN OF ALPHA MYLES

Meeting Smith

Chapter 9

MYLES

What did Bruce want to tell me? He said something about when I turn sixteen.. what's he upto? I hope he has better plans else I won't be happy with him.

I had to end the call since O heard mother talking to Crystal and Laura from outside and I don't want to risk being found. I've already deleted Bruce's number from the call log and placed the handset back on the table.

I'm now back in my bedroom, busy finishing up with my homework. Crystal didn't have homework today since they were sitting for their exams, that's why she's out there playing.

That day when father came to my room when he thought he heard me talking to someone and I pretended to be deep asleep, he asked me a lot of questions which I answered to his satisfaction.

I pretended that I was having a nightmare or I was just sleep talking. I don't know if he was convinced or not but that doesn't matter. I know I'm not doing the right thing but right now, it'll have to remain like that till the right time comes for them to know the truth about me!

My chat with Bruce was long and I'm glad he was able to answer a lot of questions which have been bugging me. I'm glad that he's related to my mother and my his love towards us made him to rescue us. It's just sad that mum did get to move an inch from the killer's sword!

Since we didn't finish talking, I'm eagerly waiting for tomorrow to call him after school so that he can tell me everything. I always call him using a private number therefore he can't call back. I don't trust him that much, you know?

I'm done with homework and we're already taken dinner. We're now gathered around the television watching the latest news. After this, I'm going to my room to sleep since I usually wake up early to trek to school.

***
I'm just from school and after ensuring my sisters are not in the house, I pick the phone and call Bruce. I'm holding my breath as I call him, wondering why he's taking so long to pick.

When he finally picks it, I heave a heavy sigh of relief and my cheeks sag in relief when I hear is voice.

He apologises for not picking the call early and informs me that he was busy on the training ground. He's in charge of the youths security that's why he couldn't hear the phone ringing.

I ask him what he intented to tell me yesterday and without wasting time, he tells me that he's willing to help me take over what rightfully belongs to me from Cedric.

That assurance alone gives me a lot of relief and I ask him how he intents doing that.

“Immediately you graduate from high school, you'll join me together with some men who will be in training. The same way your uncle took the Alpha leadership is the same way we'll take it...forcefully!” he explains and I exclaim, wondering how he came up with that plan. He's such a genius! “I don't want to bombard your thirteen year old mind with a lot of stuff. I'll start looking for the men who'll help me two years from now so that we can start the training.”

I thank him for everything and after talking for a little while, he hangs up, citing that he's still on training. He promises to keep in touch, feeding me on everything going on in the pack house just as usual.

Never in my life did I imagine that there's a time I'll be this helpless and the person who'll come to my rescue is Bruce.

Back in the days when I was an over pampered prince, he used to be just a mere palace guard. I never noticed their closeness or even similarities with mum, or is it because I was still a little boy?

I used to treat him just like any other guard and never once did I see him mistreating anyone. For sure, never destroy a bridge after crossing it. I'm glad we never crossed paths else he'd have rethought his plan to help me out!
