The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Kendrix.

“You are playing with me, right? No way Veronica helped you set me up,”

I let out, still trying to hold on to the good Veronica that I know.

“You think so? Then how do you think I got the photo then? There is nothing much more poisonous than the anger of a jealous woman and you know I am good at capitalizing on shit like that, right?”

Jordan asked. I felt sick to my stomach thinking of what must have gone down and might have happened if I had taken that kiss further, I couldn’t believe Veronica betrayed me and was acting like she was caught off guard when it was her plan all along, I just don’t get why she was jealous and who the fuck she was jealous of.

“Why and who is she jealous of and what has that got to do with me? I haven’t seen her for eight whole years and until I met her again in Dilgem, I thought she was dead, fucking dead, what did I do to warrant her poisonous jealousy being targeted at me?”

I asked. Jordan was having a field day mocking me, I hated him so much but in this case; I had myself to blame more.

“I showed her a photo of you with Arielyn, that’s all it took, she might or might not have been watching your every move for the last eight years and knows what you are up to. Her goal was to get you back once you become the king, I told her that’s not happening by the way, she helped because she knew she already lost you to Arielyn, you need to see how she threw a fit when I told her, she was betting on your love for her to remain unchanged as it has been for so long,”

Jordan revealed. It was hard to believe these things because Veronica left O-when, made me believe she was no more, has been living fine on her own all these years, and only now did she think of doing something so devious out of jealousy.

“That’s hard to believe, she didn’t even want to talk to me until she needed me to seal a business deal,”

I told Jordan who started laughing, I took my phone out of my ear and glared at it in disgust.

“You really think that was real? Are you so easily fooled? It was all made-up shit to get what we wanted, you are not as smart as you try to present yourself as, Kendrix. Anyone could have picked up that it was staged but you, my dear brother was blinded by a past love from when you were too young, you made it so easy for us to get what we wanted from you,”

Jordan said in a cheery tone that set me off.

“You guys planned it all? The deal wasn’t really real?”

I asked.

“Yeah, brother, you finally caught on, again, too late. I am having so much fun, I have been having so much fun recently and Veronica played a huge role, she is the best for things like this, she really played you and you fell so easily,”

I couldn’t just blindly believe what Jordan was saying, he was giving away too much information as if he was trying to make me lose my mind. If Veronica really did all of the things he mentioned, then why was he telling me all that? It was suspicious the way he was willingly giving out information and I would be the fool to blindly trust whatever comes out of Jordan’s mouth.

“Why are you telling me all this, I don’t care what you and Veronica did, I just want those photos you took deleted,”

I told him firmly, he burst out laughing again and I had to move the phone away from my ears, I hated his laugh so much.

“You think you can just ask for it to be deleted and I will do as you say? Brother, you should know me by now, I am a businessman and only ever want to do business,”

He said between laughter.

“What do you want from me? Don’t fucking say the Orient because you damn well know I won’t give you that,”

I fired at him.

‘I am not asking for that, I want something bigger and I will go straight to the point, I want you to go to Dad, give him the Orient as you have wanted to do, and then tell him that you are no longer interested in becoming a king, all you have to do is tell him you accept me as the heir,”

Jordan said in a way too bold voice. He really thought he had done something with what he just asked for

“You know damn well that I am not going to do that, if that’s what you want in exchange for shutting up about those damnable photos, then you do not have a deal,”

I barked out. I should have known that the fucker would ask for something like that, what was I expecting from a loser like Jordan, I would rather tell Arielyn the truth and hope to the goddess that she forgives me than give up something I worked hard for to a loser like Jordan.

“You think you have a lot of choices, don’t you? Well, you have two days to make a decision, if not, not only will Arielyn get these photos but her dad will also get them and new ones too, that way, even if Arielyn forgives you, her father will be against you, I am going to make you lose everything, just wait until this gets to the news too and then to father, you think he will let an immoral son take over the throne?”

Jordan threatened. He was acting like he caught me with my pants down or something.

“Jordan those photos only show us kissing, I wasn’t fucking her or anything, there is only so much damage that they can do, those are not enough to ruin my reputation,”

I fired at him. Not like I was trying to justify what I did but I was tired of the bastard acting like I slept with her and he caught me in the act.

“You don’t know what those can do, do you know what will be on everyone’s mind? Especially in a conservative country like O-when? They will think further, if you can kiss her like that in an open place then you can be doing more with her in private while you are with someone else, someone who is supposed to be your mate, you know how serious the pack takes mating right? Try me,”

Jordan said in an all-so-evil voice. He was right about a lot of things and I hated him so much for it. I hated myself even more for giving him something to capitalize on, if only I had not kissed Veronica, that witch. I should have seen through her.

“I am done having this conversation with you, I don’t care what you do, I am not going to give anything up for you just because of a few photos, I don’t care, do you fucking worst,”

I told him. My voice sounded more confident than I felt inside, I didn’t want those photos out anywhere but I couldn’t let Jordan think he now has power over me just because of those photos.

“Relax bro, there is no need for you to rush into making a decision, I will give you time to think about my offer, Let’s not forget you are still at a great disadvantage even though you got the Orient, no one would want a half breed as the alpha king, think about it, save your reputation and remain the businessman that you are, keep your woman or risk everything and still end up not getting the throne,”

Jordan blabbed on. I decided I was done listening to him and hung up. I stood there for more than five minutes to collect my thoughts before I walked back towards the room where Arielyn was.

Arielyn was still asleep when I got back into the room, I sat on the side of the bed and watched her. If Jordan reveals those things to her, would she ever be able to forgive me and take me back, I really didn’t want to lose. Especially not now. She was everything. She made me complete.

I said and stroked her cheek softly, she leaned into my touch, even in her sleep, she trusted me and I had to go and break that trust. I laid next to her and pulled her to me, dropped a kiss on her hair, and closed my eyes letting her nearness calm me down. I promised myself that whatever happens, whatever Jordan decides to do, I would fight for her, I won’t let her go even if she doesn’t want me anymore. I wanted her with me forever and I was going to make it happen no matter what.
