Chapter 137
Hardin’S POV
After spending a whole lot of hours in the room, wondering if my father would come for us to have that discussion, I finally gave up and went back to my chambers.
I have called a meeting where I’m going to tell Miguel and the others about the staff and even show it to them.
“So, are you going to tell us why you summoned us here? Or are you just going sit there keep staring at us like you’ve lost your mind!” Miguel asks impatiently and I chuckle lightly as I rise up from my office chair and walk over to the win bar where I pour myself a glass of whiskey and drink to my own detriment.
Tonight, I’m going to have to sleep at least one mile away from Reign tonight if she gets even a faint smell of alcohol on me.
“Really bro?” That’s Kol.
“Sorry guys, I’m just excited”
“About what exactly p>
“So, I saw my dad today” I announce and they all look at me in awe. Eyes and mouths wide open.
“Our father p>
“Yes, brother, our father”
“What did he want p>
“Well actually, he came to give something”
“And what could that be p>
“The staff of edification”
“No way!” Leonard exclaims in amusement as he absentmindedly rises from his seat and paces about.
“Yes, Leonard. We have the staff of edification in our very own keeping p>
“Wow! That is so relieving to hear. Can we see it p>
“Of course, it’s right here”
I walk over to one of my library shelves where I pick up the staff from the uppermost shelf and show it to them.
“No way!” Carl exclaims as he gets up from the chair and walks close to me, still admiring it.
“Wanna hold?” I ask stretching the staff forward but he quickly jerks away as he shakes his head.
“No man, that is the staff of edification we are talking about. Not just anyone is allowed to hold it p>
“Now you are beginning to sound like my great grandpa when he was alive” I mock as I turn to the others.
“Anyone wants to hold?” I ask the rest of the guys and they all go mute as they exchange confused glances but none of them shake from where they are seated.
“Come on guys, it’s just a staff”
“That’s what you think. Wait until that staff gets offended, then you’ll know exactly what it can do” Miguel explains.
“You are the Alpha, it’s yours, keep you hold it alone, procure its wrath alone!” Kol dishes out and I tilt my head to the side as I give him the “like seriously?” look and he just shrugs “And we are supposed to be brothers.” “What can I say? You are the Alpha brother”
“You know what, I’m done” I place the staff on the shelf and turn to face them once more.
“You do know that the enemy packs are soon going to know that we have this weapon, right?” Leonard asks and I feel my blood boil in anger.
Those greedy Alphas and their pesky Elementals are going to start hatching plans on how to attack and get this staff.
They are nothing but god-damned thorns in my flesh and I can’t wait to get rid of them.
“You know I still don’t understand why the Moon goddess will give me a weapon that will give an upper hand in this battle and still go ahead to tell my enemies about the weapon she had give to me, like, it doesn’t make any sense to me” “Well, it doesn’t have to. Did you miss the part where I said this is supposed to be a fair game?”have no idea what they are up against.
RIP to whatever plans they are making.
