章節 259: *Ch 274: Alpha's Dominance
Right after Victoria stormed out of the office, Mr. Collin suggested, to his son, "Give her some space. She's emotional from her pregnancy, and she's likely tired from that long trip."
"I understand her hormones are off from being pregnant," Kai replied, coming around from the couch.
"How should we handle the situation with those cases?" Glenn asked, standing there with everyone else in the middle.
"We will do nothing." Mr. Collin asserted.
Kai, however, furrowed his eyebrows, "You're kidding me, right?" he asked his dad like he was really joking. Preferably Kai hoped he was.
"This isn't a joke." Mr. Collin countered more forcefully as he confronted Kai beside him. "You've manipulated their minds to your will. Detective Heart and Clark shouldn't be a problem to you."
Not convinced, Kai narrowed his eyes. "Anymore, that is all you ever do is nothing!" he hissed. "Those families will still be an issue!"
Mr. Collin strongly refuted his claim. "Those detectives will tell the families and everyone else otherwise. Both cases will be closed."
Kai hissed his pointy sharp fangs as his advisors and his father's advisors crossed their eyes back and forth to witness both Alphas assert their dominance.
"And if you're wrong?" Kai growled like a beast.
"We'll handle it. Until then we do nothing. First, let's see how this plays out before we do anything irrational." Mr. Collin sternly retorted.
"I'd rather take the irrational approach than do nothing!" Kai disagreed ignorantly.
"Maybe… forget I asked," Glenn commented, which brought both Alphas to stare his way toward everyone else.
"No, I want you to take care of the families." Kai gave a command.
"What!" Mr. Collin piped as if he was stupefied to hear Kai bade such a dark deed. Although he shouldn't because he knew his son had no regard for human life.
"You can't ask me to do that. Those families are still raising kids," Glenn respectfully declined since Kai didn't use his alpha tone. Otherwise, if he had, then none of them could reject his authority.
"I wasn't asking you or Rome." Kai rephrased, looking solely at Jack, Ivan, and Ace. "I'm asking the ones I know could care less about feeding on children or babies."
"Of course, you already know we'll do the deed," Ivan confirmed.
"Haven't I been heard!" Mr. Collin broadly spoke. "I said leave them be!"
"It's not worth a risk to me!" Kai hissed his father's way.
Mr. Collin stressed a long sigh. "I understand you're trying to protect your family but think about how this will make Victoria feel if she ever found out you killed two families?" he appealed, using a new card on his unreasonable son.
"One day she'll understand," Kai refuted as the father and son pair stared deadly at each other.
"What if I erased their memories enough that they moved on from the daughters they lost," Rome suggested, which instantly broke their fierce staring competition.
Kai sighed and realized his friend was trying another trick to intercede. "Fine, I will go with your plan," though he agreed.
Unlike with his father, Kai sometimes backed off with his friends. Sure, he didn't have to, but being a good leader made him open to compromise, at least with his friends. But it wasn't always the case with his father. Not to disrespect the older Alpha. Kai just had a different way of dealing with issues.
Mr. Collin exhaled an exhausted huff because his stubborn offspring loved to challenge him. "I hope you can control yourself during the vote at the Vampire Covenant," he grumbled under his breath.
"When is that?" Kai smirked to ask.
"Soon!" Mr. Collin curtly answered as he went through everyone to sit at his desk. Most of Mr. Collin's advisors took a seat on the couch, but Duncan stood at the right corner aside from his desk.
Kai grinned amusedly at his father's riled behavior toward him. "To answer your question, as long as the votes go in my favor, there will be nothing to worry about," he indifferently confirmed, going to the front of his father's desk as his friends stood back from behind him.
"I anticipated you might say that." Mr. Collin replied, rubbing his temples. An instant headache always came whenever he dealt with Kai.
"Since we are talking about the meeting, you should know, I plan on waking Vlad," Kai nonchalantly informed, taking a seat at the front of his desk.
"What!" Mr. Collin clamorously exclaimed. Now that vamp headache was suddenly turning into a migraine. Ever since Kai took his authority as an alpha, the father and son pair have always verbally dueled with their dominance. This wasn't anything new for anyone in the Coven to witness. Unlike Chester, his firstborn offspring, Kai liked to challenge his authority.
Knowing what to do, Duncan pulled out a pill bottle from the desk drawer. "You are forbidden to do that!" Mr. Collin sternly retorted as he held his palm out for Duncan to place two otherworldly pills in his palm. Next, he poured his boss a whiskey glass of blood to take them with.
"I'm doing this whether you agree or not," Kai casually notified as his father swallowed both pills with the glass of blood.
"I don't agree!" Mr. Collin heedlessly roared as he nearly slammed the glass on his desk. Then he took a inhale to seethe his anger. "Vlad, doesn't wish to be awakened until the month of the blue moon," he clarified with a calmer tone.
"I need his help." Kai narrowed his eyes more viciously. "Victoria's life is at stake. I have a family to protect. We know war is due to come, no matter the outcome."
"I realize that, however, we will handle this appropriately," Mr. Collin guaranteed.
Yet his words weren't good enough for Kai to be convinced. "I'm sorry, father, I need to gather my allies and strength." He stood up affirmingly. "Vlad would wanna be awake." Without giving his father a chance to speak, he left the office, so his friends followed him.
Mr. Collin pinched his forehead as his wife walked in, smiling heartedly. She knew Kai and her husband were at it again. Duncan moved aside as she went to massage her husband's shoulder blade.
"You know Kai is only doing what he feels is right for his family." Mrs. Collin sweetly reminded him. "He's protecting his unborn babies and his human wife."
Mr. Collin rubbed her round baby bump as he felt a big kick from their offspring. "I hope this growing vamp baby won't be as dominant as Kai. I'd prefer he'd be more like Chester or Veronica." He chuckled a little as his wife giggled louder to understand. Although Kai never once challenged his mother, she reckoned.
