Alpha’s Virgin Stripper
Chapter 165

Lake:

However, the frown did not last. As a matter of fact, it disappeared just as fast as it had appeared, leaving no trace behind, not even a single crease on his forehead, or wrinkle on the flesh of his cheek. His face began to beam with a radiating smile, causing me to wonder if I had imagined the frown.

My father, alpha Cole Rush, slipped his hands into the side pockets of his suit pants. One swift look outside the window was more than enough for me to see the number of guards stationed outside the house. I tore my gaze away from the horrifying sight, while hoping Jojo was okay, and the baby was safe inside.

My father chuckled, before he took few steps forward, daring me to keep my feet rooted to the ground. I accepted the challenge and did as I wanted, I remained fixed on my spot and I did not move. Not even when we stood so close to each other, that the tip of our noses threatened to touch. If anyone was going backwards, it wouldn't be me.

I had expected him to be infuriated, angered, outraged. But he was none of these. The only expression I could see on his face was a proud smile.

"Do not let me use force, Lake. You know me more than anyone else in this room. You know that I would not leave here without taking my grandson along with me."

"I cannot say I am sorry to disappoint you, but you will just have to leave this time. You cannot take him with you, you won't see him, not now. Please, leave."

He did not say another word. I watched with keen eyes and a shaking breath as my father turned to the door. As if on cue, three uniformed guards - all dressed in matching black suits - stood at the door. I raised his right hand up and gestured for them to step in. In synchrony, the men matched into the house, ready to carry out orders.

They lowered their heads and bowed before me, before turning to my father and bowing in courtesy. A faint smile creeped up to my cheeks, but I did a good job of hiding it. It was important that they knew who held the higher authority, and who their loyalty should belong to.

"Escort my father to his car." I ordered, both my tone and facial expression were stern. The men looked at my father, while one of them was prepared to usher him out of the room. Alpha Cole, my father, ignored the presence of the men, and did not take his eyes of me.

"The three of you would go upstairs, replace my grandson and bring him to me. You can tear the house down if you must, leave nothing but ruins." His smile seized as he turned to them.

"This is an order."

They were about to take one step further into the house, but I could not let that happen.

"When you three stepped in, you recognized the power of the higher authority first. I am sure that you are all aware who the alpha of Rush pack is. If you take one more step, you can be sure that you have lost your jobs. But it would not only be losing your jobs."

Three pairs of uncertain eyes looked up at me. My frown deepened as I stared at them.

"Your lives and that of everyone you know and love would be wiped from the face of the Earth. Now, escort my father out."

I did not need to speak any further. I could tell they had been perfectly understood. The men took several steps backwards until they stood behind my father.

"The car is ready, alpha Cole. We can leave now." One of them spoke.

Good for them. They were all wise, they had made the right decision.

My father looked over his shoulder briefly, stole a glance at me, his gaze travelled to my mother, before his eyes located the door. I had a feeling he could sense Jojo's presence still lingering there, because I could.

"My son would not be able to protect you forever, Jojo Wyatt. You should make the right decision and listen to me." He spoke with confidence, the level of which sickened me to the bottom of my stomach. Just who did he think he was?!

My father's eyes landed on my mother once more, and he chuckled. She was avoiding his gaze, she could not bare to look at him.

He turned his back towards me, and started to head towards the door. The guards followed him behind, but I had other plans for them.

"The three of you!" I called out. The men paused on their tracks and turned swiftly towards me. My father kept his focus on the door.

"You would stay back and guard this building at all costs. Am I understood?" I snarled.

They bowed their heads in agreement and obedience.

"Yes, alpha!"

My father looked over his shoulder, our gazes locked. He threw his head back in a silent laughter before he strolled past the door, and out of the house. Even as I watched him step into his car from the window, I had a deep feeling inside me, a grave sense that this wasn't over.

A fear that it had only just began.

Jojo:

*******

The words of Mrs Smith continued to ring in my head like an alarm, one that was impossible to just put off!

Once I was able to stand, I scrambled on my feet and started to rush up the stairs. A million and one thoughts continued to flood my mind as I did so.

My mother was alpha Lake's father's lover? Was their relationship the reason Mrs Smith was badly treated and neglected by her husband? Was my mother's relationship with alpha Cole the reason alpha Lake grew up without his mother? Was my mother's relationship with the former Alpha the reason why my father... rather, Jesse Wyatt treated us so badly? Was it the reason he hated us?

I did not know what to make of my questions, I did not know what to believe, but I knew I needed answers.

When I rushed back upstairs, my baby was sound asleep in his cot. I lifted him from the cot and pressed him so close to my chest. For a moment, I had thought the former Alpha would be successful in taking him away from me. I had thought I would lose my baby, it tore my heart into shreds. It was the soft scent of shampoo oozing from my baby's hair that brought relief to my heart and mind. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I allowed them flow.

That was when a though rushed through my mind.

Valerie!

Immediately, I searched the room for my phone and found it at the top of the dressing table. I picked it up and dialed Mel, I could feel my hands and fingers tremble.

"Hello?"

"Mel! Thank goodness you picked up! Valerie is still in school. I need you to help me pick her up now, but don't bring her back home, just take her to the restaurant. I'll let you know when it's safe to come home." I blurted out. My heart started to pound in my chest. A million "what ifs?" occupied my mind.

"Jojo, is everything...?"

"Listen Mel, I'll explain it to you when I can. But for now, just make sure Valerie is safe, I beg you!" I couldn't help it, I had to cry out.

"Okay, okay, fine. I'll leave now."

I ended the call and pressed my phone to my chest. With tears in my eyes, I said a silent prayer for my sister's safety.
