Cleo's Heart Desicions.

The Same Man!

She looked at them for too long before she realizes they are the same man, a man crazy in love with her.

~about half an hour later, Blood Pearl Pack~

Austin's pov

I tap my fingers on my desk and exhale impatiently.

Avery groans in annoyance for my 'childish' for her behavior and rolls her eyes when I give her an innocent smile.

I don't understand why I had to be the most impatient of our family. This gets on my nerves, seriously, it is very annoying, because everyone scolds me and nobody gets affected from my excitement and quite expressive behavior. It's like I am the black sheep of the family...

"Where the hell is Jocah? Is it so difficult for him to take Lark from Nancy and bring him here? His room is on the same floor and too close!" I murmur in frustration and start tapping my fingers faster.

It has been about 10 minutes since he left my office to go to Lark's room and bring him here, but he hasn't come back yet and I can't wait. The sooner we talk to Lark, the better for us. We mustn't lose time and nobody must understand what we are up to. We are lucky Micah wanted to stay alone and go for a walk (the reason is Ava, it is more than obvious, but I decided not to talk to him about it), Ava is probably sleeping now, my mom and Cleo went for a walk together as well, Melody has some things to do and my grandpa with Xavier wanted to train a group of warriors to help me and Micah now that Alexander is not here. All these mean that Avery, Jonah and I are free to talk to my genius nephew, explain to him what he has to do and take him to Cleo once she and our mother come back. We will leave him to Cleo by using an excuse and then he is going to tell her the right things about Alexander and Axel.

Nobody from the rest of the family must find out what we are planning to do, because Alexander gave us one clear order about Cleo, him, Axel and their 'bond'. He told us that he wants us to keep our mouths shut and don't reveal the truth about him and Axel being the same man. He says that Cleo has to love him like he loves Axel without learning the truth, because he doesn't want to affect her, but this is absolutely bullshit for me.

My sister and he feel sparks, so things have changed, they are in a whole new level and she loves him already, but she needs to know about Axel to end it forever inside her heart and accept Alexander completely.

We won't affect her love for him, if we think about it better. We are just going to help her and Alexander get together sooner. Alright, I know this is cheating at some point, because I promised to Alex I won't tell Cleo a word and the same thing happened with all the others (especially Avery and Jonah), but Lark promised nothing and we didn't promise to cross our hands and let them be apart.

This is the main reason I'm happy we are alone and worried Jonah is late. If anyone understands and tells Alexander, I am dead! And I mentioned myself, because he is not a fool. He is going to be sure this entire plan is my own idea and I organized everything and then he is going to kill me.

"Austin, stop tapping your fingers, it's stressful and your nervousness is affecting me very much! Why can't you just wait for once in your life?" Avery says through her teeth as lowly as she can and I sigh heavily again.

I raise my right hand, bury it in my hair and rub my head awkwardly. I feel my cheeks blushing under Avery's very strict and intense gaze and stiffen while a small innocent yet apologetic smile appears on my face.

She is only 18 years old, our 'baby' and the most fragile between us, but she is still an Alpha, it's in her blood to have power over us (when she wants) and right now she has power over me. I can't do anything else, but agree and accept I am wrong this time. I know I have to learn how to take things slowly, it is going to be difficult, but it is necessary.
