The Ghost Heiress (On Hold)

Chapter 12. Meeting

Wil's POV:

My head was pounding and my throat felt dry. When I spoke my voice was a croak.

I couldn't believe those bastards had gotten to me, I must be losing my touch. I need to pay more attention; this was a risky moment, not the time for distractions.

I glanced over my shoulder to see that Nathan-kun was still following me, an exhausted and distressed Sang in his arms.

My heart squeezed painfully in my chest at the sight of her tear streaked face. I wish she didn't have to go through so much pain, but sadly there was nothing I could do about that. Pain was a part of life, and for us it was a big part.

I clenched my fists against my own need of taking her in my arms and comforting her. She was fine where she was, and it was best that she learns to trust and depend on the Blackbourne team. If everything went as I planned they would belong to her sooner rather than later.

That was the only thing I could do to ensure her happiness and safety.

Approaching the door to the office where I know all the boys are going to be at I knock quickly on the wood before opening and stepping inside.

They look at me briefly before their eyes fly to the blond girl behind me and I watch intently as their expressions change from boredom and impatience to worry, fear and caring.

Yup.

It is all going as expected in this front.

I sat down facing Blackbourne-san, Luke-kun, Silas-kun, North-kun and Sean-san sat to my right. Kota-kun, Victor-kun and Gabriel-kun sat to my left.

Nathan-kun joined them, sitting at my side between me and Gabriel-kun, Sang still on his lap.

"What the fuck happened?" Gabriel exclaimed.

"Are you okay, Pookie? Come here and let me take a look at you." Sean-san ordered.

"Princess, are you okay?" Victor's question made me look sharply at him. Did he know? No, he couldn't.

But still, I had to give it to him, the boy nailed it by calling her "Princess". If only he knew... I thought wryly.

"I'm fine." She said quietly from where she was still sitting on Nathan's lap. It didn't look like she planned to get up from there any time soon. I almost smirked.

"Can someone please explain what is going on?" Blackbourne-san asked with an exasperated sigh.

Then I started by telling them about the attack last night, followed by Sang who explained how she ended in my room and why and what happened afterwards, and finally Nathan told his part.

Once we were done reporting the room fell silent for a few minutes.

"Shit." Kota-kun said, startling everyone.

"Well said, Lee-kun, but let's avoid any cursing, okay?" Blackbourne-san commanded to which the other boy merely nodded.

Sighing, Blackbourne fixed his gaze on North and Silas before giving his orders, "Go back to Wil-sama's rooms and begin the cleanup."

They both nodded and stood up to do as ordered.

Once they had left Sean-san turned to Blackbourne-san and asked "Well, and what are we going to do now, my friend?"

Owen Blackbourne raised his hand to fix his glasses and answered calmly "We need to make sure the ascension of the heiress of the Sorenson clan goes correctly and send them back home before our lord decides to start a war. Technically, we, the Academy clan have no fault in the death of their lord so a war should still be avoidable if we offer our help accordingly."
