Trapped with the Alpha

Suddenly Audrey came into the room with the news that they would be leaving for New York in two days time

Morning flew by really quickly and Audrey felt it was time to go back to New York. He had missed a lot of classes alongside Stephanie, they both missed classes. He went up to his father’s room to discuss his plans with him. He met him in an online business meeting.

“Ooh, sorry Dad I did not mean to disturb you” he said.

” Don’t worry, it’s fine son, you can come in. I was about sending for you and your brother,”Roland said.

He entered and got seated on the chair adjacent to his father as they waited for Derrick to arrive, shortly after he came .

“Good morning Dad” he greeted, ” what is so important that you had to wake me up very early this morning?” he asked further. Roland laughed and wondered when Derrick would ever get serious with his life; that was just typical of Derrick. He hated being woken up from sleep and he always wanted to know why he was being called to do certain things.

” You are just too lazy,” Audrey said, smacking him on the head . They both made fun of each other and teased each other, Roland was glad that his sons were finally getting along and it was with the help of Stephanie if Audrey had not met her or she had not come into his life he knew very well that his son would not even take the chance of coming home, she was his inspiration and reason for coming home. So he knew he had a lot to thank Stephanie. She would not know it but she had fixed the relationship between two brothers who never even wanted to speak to each other again. So he quickly ended his meeting and proceeded to discuss what he had called his sons for.

” So sons, I called you here because I have something very important to tell you guys” he said. Both guys wondered what could be more important than the fact their father never really called them for other things apart from things relating to their pack.

” Ooh , dad what’s wrong, the doctor diagnosed you with a terminal disease and you are about to die” Derrick said sarcastically mimicking his father when he usually had chest pains. This made Audrey laugh really hard, Derrick was fond of always teasing their father about his chest pains and his other ailments forgetting the fact that their father was an old man.

“Derrick , you have not actually stopped this thing, leave dad alone” Audrey said while still laughing.

” But you are laughing, Audrey,” their father said, throwing him a piece of paper he had just rumpled and was about to dispose of.

” I’m sorry Dad” Audrey said trying to apologize to his dad but he could not keep his laughter when he saw his brother’s face who was also trying to make a mockery of their father by imitating how he usually talks when he is angry.

” Anyway boys focus, I have a very important thing to say” he said and cleared his throat. ” I’m thinking of stepping down,” he blurted out after much internal deliberation.

” As what, as an alpha, a businessman or as a dad? ” Derrick teased.

“Lol, quite funny Derrick you see me laughing” Roland mocked, ” anyway I want to make provisions for my retirement, I think you boys are getting older and smarter by the minute so I was thinking of gradually introducing you guys to the ropes of what I do at the company and inaugurate you as board of directors, what do you think” Roland asked.

He was always fine asking for his son’s advice whenever he wanted to make important decisions like that because he knew that he needed their input and he often trusted their judgment, they have never given him a wrong judgment before.

” But Dad, are you not too young to Retire” Audrey asked.

Roland was almost 65 but his sons referred to him as a young man; they never wanted to admit that their father was growing old.

“Young?” He asked and scoffed

“You guys see I’m getting old and tomorrow is never assured. I want everybody to learn the ropes of this business, you and Derrick. Since you are a student I will teach Derrick for now, since he is the one with me, you will only follow me to office when you are on holidays and when you come” he said facing Audrey

” But Dad, isn’t Frank your business partner, we never see him around the house or anything” Derrick said.

” Yeah because I don’t mix business with Pleasure, he is just my business partner there is no need for him coming to my house” Roland replied

Roland decided to give Derrick a whopping 70% shares in the company, he did not want to be unfair to his other son because Audrey was also going to be the Alpha there is no way he could make him also have a larger percentage of shares in the company, Derrick would feel cheated and unloved , he had already been feeling like that since they were kids., So he had to do things to reassure Derrick of his love, not like they were not going to manage the company together.

Audrey then decided to use the opportunity to tell his father about the real reason why he came to see him.

Errrrm, Dad, I came here to tell you something ” Audrey said

” What is it?” Roland asked.

Audrey did not know how to break the news to his dad, he did not want him to feel bad that he was leaving him, so he knew that he had to say it as nicely as possible.

” Dad, I’m thinking of going back to school” he said

The look on Roland’s face immediately he heard what his son said immediately turned sad, he was actually expecting Audrey to go back to New York but he did not know why he was feeling the way he was, maybe because of the things that have been happening lately, Audrey decided to leave he was making plans for both his sons and he was not even sure when Audrey would back, he knew that his son only came back because of Stephanie.

” Alright son, Call Stephanie and I want to have a little chat chat with her” Roland said pointing towards the door.

” Dad, you really don’t have to feel bad about me leaving, I would come home, of course I will need to constantly check up on my family and ofcourse on my pack too” Audrey said reassuring both of them as he looked from both his father to his brother

Roland just nodded his head in agreement to what his son said and turned towards Derrick.

” I also want to See Sophie, I don’t want her to think that I hate her ” Roland said.

Derrick felt elated with the news, he knew how Stephanie would be elated about it. Both brothers then dashed out of the room to call their respective mates. Luckily for them they were both in the same room Chit Chatting and exchanging banter with each other.

” You are really one to talk, you are the one that has Audrey wrapped around your finger” Stephanie teased.

” No, no have you seen Derrick when he is around you, My goodness that boy is a sweetheart when he is near you” Stephanie teased backMaterial © of NôvelDrama.Org.
