Alpha's Regret-My Luna Has A Son novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Two Days Later

For three hours, I had waited sitting in the council for my petition meeting. My *ss was going numb, and this skirt was so tight it was digging into my hips. The cooling in here sucked too, and was making me feel queasy and when I saw Alpha Nixon walk out of the chambers with a smug smile on his face, my mood soured even more. I stood up, placing my folder on my seat and moved toward him. My appointment was three hours ago. My father comes out and rushes past, heading for the doors before I could even say anything to him. Not even a glance in my direction, yet Nixon was all too happy to approach me. He strolled over in his tailored suit, briefcase and his black leather shoes. He stopped in front of me, giving me the once over.

“How lovely to see you, Everly. What brings you here?” he asks with a sly smile. My eyes narrow at him as people pushed out the doors behind us, leaving the council chambers and heading out past security. They cast us nervous glances, which set me a little on edge.

“You know exactly why I am here,” I growl at him.

“Oh, nobody told you?” he asks, smiling wickedly. He glances at the receptionist. My brows furrow in confusion at his words. No one told me or notified me to say it wasn’t going ahead, so I had no idea what he was talking about.

“Your meeting was postponed. We postponed it on comp*ssionate grounds after hearing about your tragedy at the hotel. What a shame!” Alpha Nixon said in a mocking tone.

“Comp*ssionate grounds. It was not necessary, I never asked for it to be postponed and nobody notified me that it had been,” I tell him, glancing at the foyer desk and the woman behind it ducked her head when I turned my glare on her. That woman had stared at me for three hours and did not say a goddamn word, just kept saying be patient ma’am someone will be right with you!

“Not to matter, these things can’t be helped. I was coming to see you today, anyway. I wanted to make you an offer,” Nixon says, forcing my attention back to him. I purse my lips and fold my arms across my chest, and scoff at his words. This man had done enough and I wouldn’t accept any offer he ever made.

“How much for what is left of that dump?” he asks.

“It isn’t for sale, and if it was, you would never be able to afford it,” I tell him.

“Now, don’t be rash, Everly. That place is rubble and soot, holds no value.”

“Then what do you want with it if it holds no value? I know exactly what that land is worth and what it will be worth once I rebuild. Though I should say thank you for burning to the ground!”

“I have no idea what you are talking about,” he says, fiddling with his cufflinks.

“Sure you don’t, but thank you,” I smile.

“And why is that?” Nixon chuckles arrogantly, and I lean closer to whisper to him.

“Because I just realized how much larger my pack is. You know numbers. That’s all you Alpha’s care about, the number of members you have, warriors. Well, I outnumber every pack here, so Alpha, I suggest you fall in line before I make you my omega bitch,” I tell him. 

“You are asking for war, Everly. How will your father feel going to war against his own daughter?”

“That is where you are wrong, Alpha Nixon. In two days time, I will own his pack. Be wise to check your alliances because I will own you too,” I sneer at him and Nixon laughs.  

“I am the mayor of this city, or have you forgotten, I am not going anywhere Everly, I run this city, you are merely a rogue whore that trapped and Alpha, don’t you read the headlines?” he chuckles.

“Savor your time as Mayor Nixon because you won’t be the city Mayor for much longer,” I tell him, leaning down and grabbing my handbag and folder.

“And why do you think that?” he asks I shrug.

“Reputation is everything in this City Nixon. I can’t fall from grace because I apparently already did. As you said, I am just a rogue-whore who trapped an Alpha. But don’t forget, everyone has skeletons in the closet, and I hear yours is full to the brim with dirty secret and cobwebs. Be sure to watch the 7 o’clock news tonight; I hear you staring in those headlines,” I laugh before turning on my heel and walking toward the doors.

Alpha Nixon grabs my arm and yanks me back earning some shocked gasps from a few stragglers leaving Still.     

“What have you done?” he sneered.

“I do not know what you’re talking about,” I tell him, sending him a wink. I shake his hand off before walking out the doors.

“Sign the petition Nixon; I am only just getting started, and by the time I am done, your reputation will be lower than any rogue-whore!” I tell him, shoving through the turnstile and out the doors into the blistering hot sun. My father is waiting by his car and goes to walk over to me, but halts his steps when Nixon comes out a few steps behind me.

Ignoring both of them, I climb in my car and send a text to Macey and Zoe to meet me at Zoe’s apartment before putting it in reverse only when I glance over my shoulder I see N ixon’s brand new Jaguar behind me. I slam my foot on the accelerator, hitting it so hard it pushes into the brick barricade in front of it. His horrified face made me chuckle as I wound the window down. I look out my window at his crushed back end.    

“Whoops, I’m sure it will buff right out,” I tell him before taking off cackling like a madwoman. I notice him race toward his car and clutch his hair as he looks at the damage. I rub my dash. “Good beasty, good girl.” I tell my car.

The drive back to the hotel left me sweating, and I was pretty sure I needed to get the air-con re-g*ssed. By the time reached the place I am drenched in sweat. In two days, with all of Valen’s pack and every rogue in

the city, we had stripped the place to the bare brick and scrubbed it down. The entire site was gutted, and contractors were walking around wearing hard hats and taking things inside to the kitchen and restaurant structure.
