Angelo’s POV
There are many ways I can kill Benjamin when I see him. My favorite is where I beat him to death with my bare hands so that it could satisfy the anger inside of me. Just thinking about it caused my body to shake involuntarily with pure hatred. I needed to relax.
The wall was coming down in two days. The witch that could bring it down was an elderly woman who only demanded money and safety from the war that's going to happen the second it came down. I gave my word to her. I already had our strategy planned out and my Beta was running around making sure everyone was in top condition. All I could do now, in the meantime, was twiddle my thumbs and sit on my ass thinking of ways to kill Benjamin.
Unconsciously, I reached mentally for Diana on the other side of our mate bond only to find it was still the same. Numbed and cold. I found myself smiling as I thought of a new way to kill Benjamin. It involved helping Diana's mom cut Benjamin's balls and feeding them to his pack of rogues. That was a good one.
"Alpha," Someone said walking into the room. I took deep breaths to try to cool myself down as my pack member Simon stayed silent waiting for me to let him talk. I gave him a small nod when my heart rate was back to normal.
"Your mother is here." Fuck. Me.
"You mean here as in the same house?" He nodded his head and opened his mouth to say something else when he got interrupted by my mother yelling outside.
"Why are you making me wait out here! I'm your god damn mother! I gave you life!" She yelled from the hallway. I could already picture her wrestling with my bodyguards who were just doing their jobs.
I smiled and it felt unusual after all the frowning I have been doing. "Let her in."
I thought she would come barging like Godzilla on hormones but she didn't. She walked in with all the class and proper etiquette she was taught as a child. I noticed her black hair was cut in a short pixie haircut which was new. It went well with her delicate facial features that didn't match her personality.
"Angie!" She cooed coming to my side as I rose from my chair. I hated that nickname but I ignored it since I've missed her too much to get her angry this early in her visit. "Where's my kiss?"
"I had no idea you'd be coming," I commented embracing her in a tight hug. She squealed when I lifted her off the ground causing me to laugh. It felt good to laugh. My chest didn't feel so heavy anymore.
"Why aren't you kissing your mother?" I heard my father ask as he strode into the room shocking me. He never left our lands, he would always send my mother in his place. He still looked muscular and every inch serious as last time I saw him.
"I was just on it," I said holding my mother's small head and giving her a sloppy kiss on the cheek. She made a face that caused me to laugh. "Was that the kiss you have been dying to get from your good o' son?"
"No, but it will do."
"Where's mine?" My father questioned and if it wasn't for how his eyes were squinted in laughter I would have thought he was dead serious. He came over to me and we hugged, which consisted of patting each other's back. He was either getting shorter or I was finally passing him in height.
"We heard what happened." My father said getting right to business causing my smile to slip. How could I be smiling and laughing when Diana has still stuck with that bitch Benjamin.
"We would have liked to hear it from our son," my dad commented making me sigh. How was I going to call and tell them I found my mate, but I lost her to some witch rogue alpha? That just hurts my man pride.
"But we get it given the situation you are in. So we came to help out." "I already have other packs helping me, dad."
"Listen to what I have to say first before you jump to conclusions, son," he growled out. I sighed and nodded my head apologetically. I tended to do that all lot nowadays. Even if he wasn't my alpha anymore he was still my father and deserved my respect.
"Sorry," My mother raised an eyebrow when that word left my lips. I don't say it, mostly I don't have to. I'm an alpha and usually never apologize for my actions.
"I am here because I arranged for you to do the challenge." I glanced my mom to see if they were both serious, they were both quite watching me. There was only one challenge that I could think of since I was already an alpha and it involved the most powerful men around the world.
"The Alpha challenge," I stated, needing them to confirm it.
"Yes, you'll fight to become Top Alpha." If I could accomplish to get that title I will have Benjamin shaking in fear like the little pussy he is hiding behind his magic wall.
I would become the most feared alpha if I defeat the top 10 in a death match. The thing about the challenge is you would have to fight skilled alphas without losing a single match or you get disqualified.
I looked into my father's dark grey eyes and I saw he believed I could do it. I trusted his judgment.
I'm doing it for you, Diana. I'm going to get that title and bring your lovely ass home, baby.
