Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 198

Lauren's

POV

"Give me that f*cking phone!' Alpha Manuel screamed.

Fear and rage were on his face as he flailed his hand in front of him.

The recording continued to play between us.

"Even if you destroy this phone, I already sent the copy to the recording to the IT team of Midnight Claws Tribe. There is no way that you will get away the murder of my mother, Alpha Manuel." The older man stopped trying to get the phone. He heaved a sigh as he composed himself.

"What do you want, Lauren?"

The recording ended.

Recording the conversation between us was part of the plan. I wanted to provoke him so that he will tell me the truth of my mother's death. I never knew that I will get the confession today.

Alpha Manuel was resigned. He knew that he was cornered.

"Everything. I want everything that are duly mine."

"NO!" "Alright."

I grinned at him before turning my back. I headed towards the door. I was about to turn the lights off again when he spoke.

"Fine."

"Great." I responded. My back is still on him. "My lawyer will speak with you in the morning. You have to sign the papers that the Blanco group is mine. You should resign as the president of the company. The shares that grandfather gave to my mother should be in my name as her sole heir. Your minute share should be transferred in my name since Janice is gone."

"No, no."

"Which part you did not understand, Alpha Manuel?"

"My share in Blanco Group will remain in my name, Lauren."

"Which part of 'I want everything' I spelled incorrectly?"

"I am still alive. The share is still mine."

"We can change that. I will have my mate kill you with his bare hands. He is furious with you, anyway."

I made another step towards the door.

"Fine. It's yours. I did not know that you have that in you, Lauren. You are indeed my daughter."

I exhaled at his words. I am thoroughly offended.

Unsmiling, I glanced at him. "I am my mother's daughter. I am going to be the warrior that would claim what should have been hers in the first place. I am going to defend her since her mate cannot."

"My blood still run in your veins, Lauren."

"I refused to acknowledge that."

"You are a doctor. You knew-"

"Yes, I am embarrassed to be of your blood." I cut his statement. "One more thing. My lawyer will also get your signature that will grant my access to the tribe's leadership. The document entails that you will step down from your position as the alpha of Full Moon Tribe. As your eldest and remaining daughter, I will assume the alpha position."

The statement rolled out of my mouth. I am dying to say that in his face.

"That's preposterous!"

"Is it, father?"

"I am the alpha of Full Moon Tribe. Although you are of age, I can defend my position. You will be the alpha when I say so. Greed has become you, Lauren. And you said you are not my blood." He spatted with fury.

"We can do this the hard way, father. Either way, you will be stripped of your leadership in the tribe." I was very calm and collected when I said that.

I have the upper hand this time. I got him where I want him to be. All the cards are in my favor.

"You can have the Blanco Group. Spare the tribe." He uttered in gritted teeth. "You are the Luna of the Midnight Claws Tribe. It's a powerful tribe. Why else do you want my tribe?"

"It's no longer yours when you killed my mother, the Luna of the tribe you selfishly lead with blood in your hands!" I roared.

I glared at the poor excuse of the man in front of me.

"Please, Lauren. Let me have the tribe. It's all I have." He said, almost begging.

I found no ounce of compassion for my father even when he plead. He looked pathetic.

"While waiting for my lawyer, you will be locked in this study. Until then, you will be transferred to the Red Room." I announced.

"NO! Please, Lauren. Please! No, no!"

Red Room is the place in the territory where the accused members of the tribe are being withheld. Instead of placing them in the prison house, they will be sent in a building where a person will see no one or speaks with anyone. He will be isolated to everyone. He will be given food once a day. Daylight can be seen in the single window above the cell.

"Please have mercy on your father, Lauren."

"This is mercy, father. I want to humiliate you in front of every tribe. I want to announce that you killed your own mate. In turn, you will be stripped of everything that you have. I will have everything, in one way or another." I exclaimed. "This is mercy. I could place you with the common prison but you will be finished the moment the prison guard turns his back. Every person inside that prison house wants your blood." The side of my lips lifted. "I will not give you an easy way out. You need to suffer like what you did to my mother's self-esteem."

I did not wait for my father's rebuttal. I opened the door and closed it back again. I pressed my back on the door as I tried to regain my breathing.

When I raise my head, Victor is standing before me. He has a proud smile on his lips.

"You handle it well, my love."

"I did?" He nodded. "I am shaking."

Before my knees gave out on me, I was already in my mate's arms. He carried me in his arms like a bride.

"Is this practice? I mean, for our wedding."

A giggle exited my mouth. My mate knew the right words to say.

"You have to tell Mila to come over. Bring Richard, too."

"What else, my Luna?"

I sighed. "We have two tribes to manage, Victor. Full Moon Tribe is mine now."

"I heard you. I am glad to finally meet you, Alpha Lauren."

"Alpha, my a*s. I would rather be your Luna."

"I like that, too. However, it is your responsibility since you are the sole heir to the position with your father out of the picture." "Let's make it official then."

"Alright, Alpha Lauren."

I stared into the eyes of my alpha mate. Worry enclosed me.

"Do you think, I can lead this pack? What if I became greedy like my father? There's the Blanco Group, too."

"My Love, I will be with you every step of the way. Besides, the Blanco Group and the Full Moon Tribe goes hand in hand." "Help."

"Holler, my Love. I will be with you in a breath."

"I like that." I said with a grateful smile. "This alpha wanted to be on her feet."

Victor chuckled. "I like you better in my arms, my Luna."

"I need to save face. I'm the alpha now, remember?"

"Yes, you are."

I inhaled.

A smile remained on my lips. Everything is falling into place now.
