Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 130: It’s Showtime

(Author’s POV)

"Return the lands? Haha," Keith scoffed, his voice tinged with mockery. "Noah Everests, you mean that our pack, the Half Shade Lunar Pack has ’occupied’ those tribal lands ’illegally’. And we are not able to take care of the tribes and their problems now? Is that what you want to say, huhh?"

Noah stood firm to his ground, his voice laced with confidence, "Alpha Keith, originally, those lands were put under Moon Shine Pack’s jurisdiction. You also know that. We are not just here to reclaim it. I am also here to make an offer for you and your pack."

"Hhahah hahhaha, this is hilarious. You are here to make an offer. What do even have that you can offer to us, huhh? I heard you are having a difficult time while managing your so called company and your pack duties. And there is also a lot of unrest amongst your pack members." Keith commented point blank. He wasn’t even trying to be respectful.

Noah pursed his lips, not wanting to give into Keith’s provocations. Keith made a snide remark again, "I understand. It happens when you are not the first choice to be an Alpha. Oops ...., my bad. Interestingly enough, you were not even the second or third choice for that position." Noah clenched his hands into a tight fist underneath the table. He was trying to restrain himself.

"Whether I was the first choice or no choice at all, the truth is. I am the Alpha King of Moon Shine Pack who defeated all the other contenders fairly. Which makes me qualified enough to do business and make you an offer." Noah answered with a polite smile. "So as I was saying, as the current Alpha King of the Moon Shine Pack, I have an offer for you, Alpha of the Half Shade Lunar Pack. I heard you want to build an underwater seven star hotel and have a specific land you want to get. I heard you are having a rough time acquiring that piece of land. I can help you with that thing as I know the land owner personally. But in return, you will have to return the tribal lands to us without a hitch." Noah said his piece, giving Keith and his party, time to understand his words.

At this point, Janet who was busy with the meeting looked at her phone to check the time. There were several missed calls from ’Beta Matthew’, ’Why did he call me so many times? Did something happen at the pack?’ Nevertheless, she excused herself, got out of the room and returned Matthew’s call right away.

Matthew briefed her about Sara’s early labor condition and told her to pass the message to Noah that she was now admitted in a public hospital ran by humans. Janet was taken aback by the news and wanted more details on the matter but Matthew kept it brief and disconnected the call.

After all, he had to rush and return by Sara’s side. This time he wasn’t going to take any chances. And also, because of that construction accident from earlier, the atmosphere inside and outside the hospital was quite hostile and truculent. As a Beta, he had failed to protect his Luna once. He didn’t wanted make it worse by repeating such a drastic thing again.

Sara looked at him as soon as he walked inside, "Matthew, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault." She comforted him despite being in such intense pain. Her forehead as well as back was all covered in sweat, her breathing was shallow and labored as well.

Alaric had not left her side even once and was sticking by her side like a pillar.

Soon, all the preparations were made and Sara was taken to the operation theatre. As Sara was already in labor, the doctor tried to push her for a normal delivery at first. Sara tried hard but she was having difficulty while breathing and was exhausted because of the stress and sudden blood loss. She slowly started losing consciousness. One of the intern who was damn nervous, suddenly yelled in the middle of the procedure, "She’s fainting. What do we do?" His tone was quite high pitched.

The senior doctor, without looking at him, said his voice unpleasant, "Silence, if you cannot help step out of the operating room immediately."

The intern zipped his loud mouth at once and stood in a corner. The senior doctor made a grave face and said, "We have no choice left. We need to do a C-section on her, Katie."

Katie, the assisting doctor replied, "Yes Dr. Shepherd." And they got down to business.

Matthew was guarding and waiting outside the operation theatre with Alaric, who asked him, "Beta Matthew, did you told father yet? Why is he not here? I can’t reach him through mind link."

"Young Alpha, Alpha Noah is in a business meeting. He will be here soon," Matthew left it at that.

*At the Half Shade Lunar Pack*

Janet returned to her seat and mind linked Noah instantly, "Alpha, there is an emergency back home with Luna."

Noah couldn’t help but asked frantically, "What happen to Sara?"

"I just received a call from Beta Matthew. He told me that Luna’s water broke and she had an early labor and is now undergoing medical procedure," Janet told him nervously.

"Her water broke?" Noah’s hands started trembling. A premature labor and birth were not good news for Sara as well as their unborn children. He got up from his chair and looked at Keith, his expression back to neutral, "Alpha Keith, I am afraid we will have to end this meeting here and discuss this matter some other time, as I have a personal matter to take care of." He nodded and was about to walk out when Keith spoke, "That’s why you aren’t fit to be the Alpha King, prioritizing personal business over pack matters, hahaha how unfitting. If you want the lands and the deal to go through, sit down. I have something I have to announce as well."

Noah halted his footsteps, his jaw tightly clenched. Then, he took a deep and long breath to calm himself down and turned back to face Keith, "Alpha Keith, don’t make this difficult."

"I am not. You are the one making things difficult. You asked for a meeting, I obliged. You cannot just walk out of the meeting because of your ’personal matter’. Sit down or the deal is off," Keith threatened, his voice peculiar.

Noah was left in a bind. He wanted to just throw everything away and rush towards Sara’s side but he knew one thing for sure. If he did this, Sara would be disappointed in him, after all the tribal communities were his people and he cannot just throw them under the bus, just like that.

He returned to his seat and asked Keith, his voice serious, "So, are you willing to accept the offer now?"

Keith smirked and replied, "I am afraid I am in no position to accept your offer." Noah frowned at his words, not understanding what he meant. Keith continued with an air of confidence, "I have an important announcement to make. I, current Alpha of the Half Shade Lunar Pack am stepping down from my position."

Noah and his crew were caught off guard by this sudden news. They thought Keith was just trying to make things difficult for them because according to their Intel, the successor to the Half Shade Lunar was a just a fifteen year old wolf and was undergoing Alpha training. He was nowhere near to take on the position of being an Alpha. So, this piece of information left all of them confusing. ’

Though, it didn’t take long for them to know what and about whom Keith was talking about. All of a sudden, Noah sensed an oddly fragrance and a faint sound of ’click’.

"What are you trying to do, Alpha Keith?" Noah asked him point blank. He knew something was up.

"What? Can’t I introduce my successor to you? After all, moving forward, he will be discussing these things with you." Keith said haughtily.

Suddenly, the wall behind Keith’s throne sunk in and a door appeared out of nowhere.

The door opened, a figure wearing a hoodie and sitting on a wheelchair came in, his face wasn’t visible. Noah sniffed the air and couldn’t quite tell who he was. The person who came had basically no scent on him, which was quite odd on its own.

"It’s a trap Noah," Arth warned him. Noah knew it too.

Keith, as soon as he saw the person in the wheelchair, became enthusiastic out of the blue. He got up from his throne and introduced the newcomer to everyone present.

"Meet my successor and the new Alpha King of Half Shade Lunar Pack," Keith declared proudly.

The oddly fragrance which Noah had felt before was getting more and more, overwhelming him and everybody from his pack. He tried to calm himself and focus but others were not able to do that and were left in a jeopardized state. They were have trouble and were feeling lightheaded.

Keith smiled smugly as the special incense was taking affect. ’I guess, it’s showtime.’
