C4 Chapter 4

"What are they doing here?" Ezio frowned.

He was not in the mood to again have insults.

One man bowed his head and said, "Good afternoon Alpha. Your grandfather, Alpha Jackson invites you to his Pack estate for preparations to install you as the Alpha.”

“It's time!"

They expect him to be happy and let out a smile but Ezio gives the opposite. He places his hand inside of his pocket, looking back and forth again like someone submerged in thought. The men cock their heads, peering into his eyes to check out what's wrong.

They eventually ask.

“What's wrong, Alpha?”

He moistens his lips a bit to delay his response. As he raises his head, he gives a sharp response. “I'm not ready yet.” He wants to turn around and leave but they grab his wrist. Despite the struggle with them, they refuse to leave him.

“Why Alpha?” They toned their voices with so much respect. Ezio thought they would disrespect him as others do.

“Because I have a lot to sort out in my family before I take on another role.” He wants to give his mate and her mom more time if they will change so if they don't and take revenge against them, he wouldn't get burdened by guilt.

“But the order is from someone above you, so you have to obey.” They try to win him.

“You've been hiding all this while, prior to his order and he's getting older. Someone has to take over the mantle of leadership.”

"He has called you to give you the New Alpha Takeover Agreement to sign," the other man replied slowly.

Ezio's heart twitched, recalling his mother's name and her memories.

Ezio went to the Pack estate, "White Lycan Pack Estate” with its exquisite design and luxury interior. He envied him for having to live in such comfort all these while he was sent out to hide his identity and also learn about life outside before returning again.

Inside of him, he did not think his return would be so soon.

"Finally you are here, my grandson," an old man said, coming on a wheelchair.

Ezio turned his gaze towards him and felt sympathy for how the man once used to be strong is now a weak man.

"My son, you must have starved but it was a life lesson for you. I will be dying soon and I want to hand you this pack and our group of companies to handle," his granddad tried to explain his situation. He wants his grandson back as an heir of the Wit-can family.

Ezio raked his fingers in his hair. It's true that I learnt the value of money and hard work.

"Please, my son. Take over the pack and the company and stay with me in this estate. It's my last wish before death," his grandfather pleaded.

Ezio could see the regret in his grandfather's eyes. So, he agreed with his grandfather and accepted his request.

"Okay grandpa. I will think about it. But first I need to put everything in order in my family." Ezio gave an assured smile to him.

His grandfather took a long breath in relief. Like a heavy weight has been lifted from his heart. Now, he can die with peace.

"Okay my son. My accountant will send you sufficient money into your bank account if you require any help, please don't say no for it" grandpa signaled one of his men to do it.

Ezio didn't want to argue with his grandfather anymore. So he nodded his head, agreeing with him.

"Sir, I am happy that you finally have your grandson back. So, when we are holding the party to celebrate this," the manager said to Granny.

As he felt proud that Wit-can Heir is back. And he will rule the country as a true ruler.

He has many companies worth billions of dollars. From famous politicians to the famous heads of industries, Alpha Jackson is the boss. They all pay homage to him.

Ezio returns home so glad for what he has become, his grandad has taken him back and he is a billionaire. Though he asked him to come live with him, he wouldn't actually for the meantime, he just accepted to make him relax his mind.

He would keep it a secret from his mate and surprise her.

“But how will I set my family in order if I don't take charge of everything as the man of the house?” He questions himself.

“Should I keep following Daisy like a puppet? When will things change.”

His tenure of being a nobody is coming to an end and if he wants to take charge of the pack, first place must be his family, his wife and his child. Everything has to be in order.

As he walks up to his room, Daisy is sitting at the chair like a devil, folding her arms and glaring at him with evil eyes.

He sees her then his heart lit up with happiness, knowing who he has become.

"Finally, you are back home." Ezio said, taking steps towards her.

She stopped him by showing her palm on his face.

"It's my house. Not yours. So, obviously I will be back home. I am not like you, a pet to whom I am giving a house to leave," she flared her nostrils and slapped on his face.

He winced in pain but he wanted to end this.

He looks down, behaving like the ever submissive mate.

"Go and clean my room now,” she yelled angrily at him.

After cleaning the room, he'as about to return to his room when Daisy stops him on the way with their son in her arms.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To my room, I'm tired."

"Hmm," she scoffs. "When you didn't bring in the right amount of money, you want to go and sleep?"

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Good, you asked what you're supposed to do?"

"Yes," he nods.

"You're gonna go downstairs, pick the car key from the table, go back to work."

"I don't get you? Should I drive at night? It's not safe, it's risky."
