Mated to alpha triplets at all-boys school Chapter 123
Kaiden pov
After I leave the library, for a bit I consider heading to my bedroom and taking a nap. Yes, I am an adult, but with growing up I realized there are some things from my childhood that I don't want to forget. One of them is taking a nap.
Might sound a little childish, sure, but I don't care. It's better to have me in a good mood then meet the cranky me, then have the version of me that hasn't had enough sleep and therefore remains in a downright murderous mood until he finally gets some sleep.
I shove my hands into the pockets of my pants and head towards the grand staircase. Some servants greet me as I go, maids bow and some of the guards keep their eyes on me like I'm some prized possession they must protect no matter what.
Technically that is true. Those men are supposed to protect me, serve me, and ensure no danger will get anywhere near me. I think it's safe to say they failed, and they failed miserably.
And now, the reason why they keep eyeing me is nothing but their fear for their own safety, simply because they know the consequences of their actions will follow. Or in this case, the consequences for their inability to do their work.
Once I get to the staircase, I look around. The decorations are removed, there is no trace of the wedding guests, no trace of the man who was supposed to lead the ceremony, and most importantly, no trace of the big banners that were congratulating me on finally finding my Luna.
The house feels empty, not in a sad sense, I suppose more empty in a way that I was supposed to be the center of attention today, I was supposed to take the throne today and finally become who I was destined to become.
Those caveman bears took it all away from me. I don't mind much that they took the girl, sure she was kind of hot and better looking than I remembered, but I can always find better. She's just a pawn in my game, like my father, she is a stepping stone, there's no other use for her.
I sound like I don't care, and I don't, but the problem is that I do as well. More than I'm willing to admit. More than I should.
Father has made her into this important figure in my life. With her, reaching all my goals and finally getting what I deserve will be easier. So, I think I have an idea how to get her back.
First, I'll find her, drag her here if need be, take the throne, kill my father, and then, I'll kill her. That's exactly what she deserves for putting me through this hell. She is the reason why my life is so miserable, she is the reason why I'm still just a feeble Prince, and she's still giving me trouble - whatever is coming her way, she deserves it. In all the worst ways possible.
A smile so wide, it nearly splits my face, appears on my lips as I head upstairs taking two steps at a time. I know exactly what I'm about to do, exactly who I have to call, and exactly who I'm paying to do all of my dirty work.
Good thing father insisted I need an office of my own. Even better that mine is soundproof so no matter what I do say or scream will be heard by someone who's not supposed to listen in.
I barely restrain myself from bursting out and laughing as I reach the second floor and storm down the hall towards my office. As soon as I stop in front of the door, I pull it open and enter the room, slamming the door behind me and locking it closed.
I actually feel excited and giggly as I walk around the desk and sit in my massive leather chair. I don't waste a second as I reach over to my desk, grab the phone and dial the number. Then I bring the phone to my ear and drum my fingers against the desktop as a weight until someone will pick it up.
After a couple of rings, someone finally answers my call. Instead of hello or hi, I get a heavy sigh that sounds like I've managed to anger someone and a gruff ‘what do you want’.
“Hey, that's no way to talk to a friend, is it?” He groans as I ask the question leaning back against the backrest of my chair and placing my feet on top of the table. “All this time, I thought we had something special. Am I mistaken? Are you not happy to hear from me? After all the time we haven't had a word, you still act like a petty little bitch.”
Instead of returning an insult of his own, my dear old friend chuckles. I can picture him shaking his head in disbelief, probably thinking about what I am up to this time. What kind of trouble am I planning to cause? Well, the luck is on his side because I'm planning to come clean with him any moment now.
“Of course I'm happy to hear from you. Didn't think that would happen though. You've been, hmm, quite an absent of a friend lately. Now that you're calling, reaching out yourself, I suppose there's something you want from me. Am I right?” Typical Leo, as always straightforward and always straight to the point.
He's not a man anyone would like to mess with. If he says he's going to do something he will, if he promises how to follow, best prepare yourself for an eternity of pain and suffering because hell will this guy bring.
And yes, while Leo isn't someone anyone could label as the best company or let's say used as an example of how you want your kids to grow up to be, at least he's a man of his word. He's a man of respect and power. He is the one man I can always count on.
Today, I sure as hell we'll put my opinion of him to a test because unless he's really the man I've deemed him to be he won't be able to pull off what I'm about to ask.
