Alpha Cole Rush did not know which he was expected to feel first. Was it the anger of having such a big event in his son's life being kept away from him? Or was it the happiness that he had finally gotten what he wanted? Perhaps the goddess had decided to smile on their family once more! Tongues that wagged against them would be cut short and the ones who reared their heads to laugh at them would hide their faces in shame! He had not just gotten a grandchild, but a grandson who was sure to inherit the pack after he and Lake are gone!

But before he could rejoice, there were some things he had to put in place and make sure they are enforced.

Once again, he called on Neil. The young man appeared in his office two times faster than he had done before. Neil stood with his head bowed as he greeted, while wondering what it was that had earned him the attention of the alpha once

more.

"Neil, you have served my son for long, have you not?" Cole started. He kept his gaze on the young man, so that if there were any hints of lies, he would be able to sniff it out in a whim. "Yes, sir. I have."

"So, I can say that you have a front row seat to whatever happens in his life."

Neil swallowed hard. He did not like the tone of the alpha's voice, but he was obligated to give fast, sharp and accurate answers. Else, he could be punished severely.

"Yes, alpha. You can."

Cole heaved a sigh. He leaned out of his chair and intertwined both his arms on the table.

"So, I can as well say that you were aware of the fact that my son has a son with a woman I do not know, and you kept it away from me, can I not?" Cole slipped the next statement in. The man's reaction would determine if he could be trusted or not.

A son?

Neil threw his head up and stared at the alpha with wide eyes. He had no idea what the man was speaking about, absolutely no idea.

Neil opened his mouth to speak, but the only word that could come out was a loud "no".

Alpha Cole arched his left brow for a more intimidating effect, but the young man wouldn't budge.

"No, sir. I had no idea! This is news to me. Pleasant news of course, but it is news to me. But, if he truly does have a son, which I am not doubting that he does. Then the mother is going to be Jojo Wyatt, the stripper. She was the only woman the alpha had anything to do with in the past one year." Neil stated. From the look in his eyes, Cole knew that the man was sure of his hypothesis this time.

He leaned back into his seat and stroked his beards gently. Perhaps the stripper had not been as useless as he thought, but she had come to the end of the road. He was not going to allow her have more than what his son had already given her. No daughter of Doris Wyatt and Jesse would be allowed to be anything in his pack.

He scoffed, a wry smile formed on his lips.

"Jojo, right? There is no problem. I want you to do something for me, Neil. And you cannot say no."

"Say the word, sir. I would do whatever you ask." The man agreed in a heartbeat.

Cole nodded in approval, pleased by the man's eagerness to serve.

"Search for where Jojo Wyatt lives, so I can pay her a visit and take my grandson from her greedy money hungry claws. She would not be allowed to blackmail my son just because she has successfully given him what his heart had longed desired. I... I finally have an heir. Announce the birth of the alpha's heir to the press, make sure it spreads around all neighboring packs and cities. They would not be able to hide it." He instructed.

Cole was certain that Lake was only silent about it so far, because the woman must have given him a very uncomfortable and twisted condition for him to abide by if he wanted to see his son. By the goddess!

Cole frowned as he thought of the good for nothing woman turning his son around like he was her personal puppet. He could only imagine who much things she would have milked from him by now. No wonder his son was yet to return! He did not want to be away from the child and the woman must have kept him away.

To think that Lake was not there to snatch the boy from the mother's claws, bring him to Rush and banish the gold digger from ever stepping foot in Rush. He shrugged and shook his head, irritation and disapproval etched in his stern gaze. Neil swallowed hard and fixed his gaze on the ground. Whatever the alpha's father had planned for the alpha, Neil could only hope that his boss survives it. The man was too dangerous to cross.

"Make the announcement immediately. I would head over to Ten and do what my son has failed to do. Lake my boy has turned soft, too soft for his own good."

Neil swallowed hard. He bowed once more.

"As you wish, alpha." He replied.

Cole watched the man turn on his heels and exit the dark office. A faint smirk formed on his face, spreading out his lips as he sat still.

He was still at the top of affairs after all. Now that he already had an heir, the next thing to do was to get Lake married.

Then, he would know that his work is done.

Lake:

The plan that was before my father decided to ruin my mood - was to go shopping for toys and clothes for the baby.

But after he ruined my mood, I still went shopping for toys and clothes for my son. My father's bad parenting could not rub off on mine. I was never going to allow that happen.

However, no one had told me that picking out clothes for a week old baby could be so difficult. There were so many different things I did not know written in English, but it was still so hard to understand.

Just a heads up: Narugi.com is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

For example, what the hell did they mean by "mini size 12" and "maxi size twelve" when it came to shoes and even shorts. I mean, he was a baby for heavens sake! Size 12 is supposed to be size twelve! What were the confusing and contrasting words for?!

I stood by the clothes shelf for more than thirty minutes, sweating despite the cold from the air conditioners. He was just born when? A weeks ago? Shopping for him was not supposed to be this hard.

But the fact remained that I was stuck and confused and decided to call my mother.

Of course, she laughed me to scorn before saying anything.

"You do not have to worry about clothes, Lake. He has more than he would be able to wear! Have you seen his closet? I took care of that."

I could hear the mockery in her voice, but I decided to ignore it and stick to the course.

"What about toys? Could I get him a teddy? There are some really big ones here and..."

"Lake! You do not need to bother. He doesn't need toys, not now."

After I had driven all this way? Hell naw. Besides, I could not go to see Jojo and the baby empty handed now, could I?

"He could play with them some other time. I'll get him so many stuffed animals, he won't be able to pick a favorite." As I spoke, my gaze magically traveled to the part of the store where toys were arranged on neat shelves. A broad smile formed on my face.

I was going to buy as many toys and toiletries as I could carry.

Both Jojo and baby Lucian are going to be so impressed when they see me... Probably not JoJo.

With all the determination of a father, I breezed my way to the toy racks.
