Chapter 67 The Toxic
"Don't worry, she just got scared of you!" Fusiah said and looked at the young girl. "Hey, it is okay! He's a friend! He's Brandon!" Fusiah added and pointed out Brandon, "Friend?" The young girl asked, and Fusiah nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm a friend!" Brandon said and offered his hand to the young girl.
The young girl looked at Fusiah before accepting Brandon's hand, "Nice to meet you! What is your name?" Brandon asked and tried to be more approachable. "Tracey!" The young girl answered, and Brandon nodded his head.
He was looking at Tracey and she has a resemblance with someone he knows. He couldn't remember who it was so he just shook his head to remove that thought from his mind. "Let's have our breakfast!" Fusiah told him and he followed her into the kitchen.
The old man was having his coffee there and immediately put down the cup when he saw Tracey. "Oh! My dear Tracey!" He said and hugged the young girl tightly. "Grandpa! Where's Mommy?" Tracey asked and looked at Fusiah. "Where is her Mother?" The old man asked Fusiah, "She was getting some herbs in the garden!" Fusiah answered and that's when the back door opened.
A fine lady entered, and Brandon couldn't take his eyes off her. "Mommy!" Tracey immediately called her mother and ran towards her. "She's Jessica!" Fusiah whispered to Brandon.
Brandon just nodded his head, and they started eating their breakfast. "Thank you for this meal but I need to look for a flower after this!" He said, and they were listening to him. "Maybe I can help you to find that flower!" Jessica offered some help, and Brandon immediately shook his head. "Nah! I can look for it alone!" Brandon answered, which made the old man laugh.
"Why are you rejecting a precious offer?" The old man teased him, "I can do it alone, sir!" Brandon answered. "Then I will help you if you don't want help from Jessica." Fusiah said and she looked at Brandon sincerely. "Okay, that's better!" Brandon answered and finished his meal.
After their breakfast, Brandon got his bag from the room and went to the living room. "Can I see the picture?" Fusiah asked Brandon, and he showed her the picture. "Oh! Someone will get married in your pack?" Fusiah asked him, which made Brandon surprised.
"How did you know about that?" Brandon asked her, and Fusiah just smiled at him. They left the house and started walking into the woods.
"So, why are you doing this instead of the groom?" Fusiah asked him, and Brandon just smiled at her. "Doing this for the bride!" He answered, and Fusiah immediately looked at him. "You like the bride?" Fusiah asked him again, and Brandon didn't say anything.
They were in the middle of walking inside the woods when they stopped to take some rest. "What pack did you come from?" Fusiah asked him while they were resting, "Mad Shadows pack!" Brandon answered, and Fusiah nodded her head.
"My assumption is right!" She said while shaking her head in disbelief. "What assumption?" Brandon asked her and waited for her answer. "Do you know Raven Alarick?" Fusiah asked him, which made Brandon confused.
"Of course, he is our Pack's Alpha and my father." Brandon answered, "Oh, he is an alpha now." Fusiah said and looked away while smiling.
"What do you mean? You know my father?" Brandon asked her and stood up from his seat. "Let's look for the flower now!" Fusiah didn't answer his question and started walking again. Brandon wanted to ask her about his father but he didn't want to force her with the truth.
Fusiah stopped walking and Brandon did the same, "We are here!" She said, and Brandon looked around.
Brandon saw a bunch of flowers that he was looking for, "I brought a tub where you can put them all." Fusiah said and handed him the tub. "Thank you!" Brandon said and got the tub and filled it with the flowers.
"When is the wedding?" Fusiah asked him while Brandon was fixing the flowers. "The day after tomorrow!" He answered and finished what he was doing. "Oh! Under the full moon!" Fusiah said, which made Brandon look at her.
"I'm really curious about you. Who are you?" Brandon asked her and there was silence between them. "I am your father's mate!" Fusiah answered, and Brandon couldn't say anything about it.
"Mate? That's my Mom!" Brandon didn't believe her, and Fusiah nodded her head. "Because they made your pack believe in that!" Fusiah answered and she didn't get any answer from Brandon.
"Me and Raven had a great day back then. It was ended by his parents, he didn't want me for your father. Even though I was his mate, they changed me and they chose your mother instead. I pitied my son when he was young and his father didn't want him as his son. Luckily, Raven got him out of here." Fusiah told him, and Brandon was forming some thoughts inside his head.
"Son? Are you talking about Theo?" Brandon asked her, and Fusiah nodded her head "What the heck!" Brandon murmured and immediately glared at her.
"Tracey is his daughter, right?" Brandon asked Fusiah, and she didn't answer him right away. "Dang! Do you know that Theo will get married to another woman, huh?" Brandon added and still, Fusiah didn't say anything. "Come on, answer me!" He told her, and Fusiah took a deep breath.
"Yeah, we know about that—
"And you let him do that? Dang! He already has a family! He will just ruin someone's life with his lies." Brandon was fuming mad and couldn't believe what his brother could do for power.
"He told us he will fix everything after he gets married to that woman." Fusiah answered, and Brandon smirked at her. "And I will never let that happen." Brandon answered and started walking away.
They reached the old man's house and saw Jessica playing with Tracey. "I need you to come with me." He told Jessica, and Jessica was confused. "Why?"
“We are going to clean this mess!” Brandon answered and held her arm, “What is happening here?” The old man interrupted them, and Brandon just looked at him. “You knew?” Brandon asked him, “What are you talking about, young boy?” The old man also asked him. “My father doesn’t know about it!” Fusiah said, and the old man looked at his daughter. “What is that?” The old man asked her, “Theo! Your grandson is marrying one of us!” Brandon answered and there was a silence between them.
“Theo did what?” The old man asked while looking at Fusiah, “He’s just doing that for the sake of his family.” Fusiah answered and the old man shook his head in disbelief. “Can you hear what you are saying, Fusiah? You are telling me that you are supporting your son even though he already has a family?” The old man said, and Fusiah couldn’t answer her father. “Answer me—
“Yes, Father! You are right!” Fusiah answered and looked down, “Go with him, Jessica! Claim what is yours!” The old man instructed her, and Jessica nodded her head. Before the night came, Brandon was travelling back to their land with Jessica and Tracey.
“My friend will help us to hide you and your daughter for a while.” Brandon told her while they were walking, “Thank you for helping us! I actually didn’t want him to use someone but his ambition ate him!” Jessica answered, which made Brandon look at her. “We need to reach our land before the sun shows up!” Brandon said and checked on Tracey that was sleeping on his back.
“You are the real son, right?” Jessica asked him when they decided to take some rest, “Nah! The real son is your husband.” Brandon answered and handed a sandwich to Tracey. “Thank you!” Tracey told him, and Brandon smiled at her. “Go on! Eat!” Brandon said while looking at Tracey, “Is she beautiful?” Jessica asked, and Brandon immediately looked at her. “Are you talking about his bride?” Brandon asked her while smirking, “Yeah! The girl you love!” Jessica answered and the smirk from Brandon’s face faded.
“I know you like her! No one will do this kind of effort for someone you don't like!” Jessica told him, and they became silent for a while. Brandon was thinking about Stella and he couldn’t stop himself from smiling, “Yeah, she’s beautiful!” He answered while smiling.
“Then you should fight for her!” Jessica advised her, “I will but I will give her some time to heal!” Brandon said, and Jessica nodded her head. “Let’s go?” Jessica asked him, and they went back walking to their pack’s land.
It was in the middle of the night when they reached the land, “Here!” Tyros showed up while waving his hand to them. Brandon nodded his head to Jessica, and they walked towards Tyros. “Oh! Hi!” Tyros greeted her and looked at Tracey. “I guess Bryce will have someone to play with!” He added and looked at Brandon. “Let’s hurry before someone sees us!” Brandon said, and they went inside Tyros’ car.
“Please look for them, Tyros!” Brandon told Tyros, “I will, don’t worry!” Tyros assured him while driving. “Drop me off at the mansion!” Brandon told her, and they took the path into the mansion.
Stella was excited about her wedding that would be held under the full moon, “Mommy!” Bryce called her and she stopped daydreaming. “What is it, honey?” Stella asked him, “You are smiling, Mommy!” Bryce told her, and Stella patted his head. “I am just happy, sweetheart!” Stella answered and opened her arms to hug Bryce.
“Where’s Daddy?” Bryce asked and looked around, “Maybe he is busy with tomorrow’s ceremony.” Stella answered and invited Bryce to go to the living room. They were waiting for Theo in the living room when someone knocked on the door, “Wait for me!” She said to Bryce and went to the main door.
Flora showed up and showed her some paper bags, “What are those?” Stella asked her while looking at the paper bags. “My pre-gift for you!” Flora excitedly answered, and Stella shook her head in disbelief. “You are excited, huh!” Stella told her, and Flora nodded her head.
Stella decided to serve some snacks for Flora when someone knocked on the door again, “Who is it?” Stella asked while opening the door. “Your beautiful sister!” Daisha answered when Stella opened the door, “What are you doing here?” Stella asked her, and Daisha just smiled at her sister.
“Dad will be here at any moment to get Bryce.” Daisha said and levelled herself to Bryce. “Are you fine staying with your Grandpa tonight?” She asked him, and Bryce nodded his head. “What are you planning to do, huh?” Stella asked her sister right away, “You already know it!” Daisha answered and opened the door. “He’s here!” Daisha said, and Elder Remus showed up.
“How did she know?” Flora asked her best friend while looking at Elder Remus. “Her sixth sense!” Stella answered while shaking her head, “I will take this young boy for tonight!” Elder Remus said and raised his hand in front of Bryce.
Bryce immediately gave him a high five, “Go get your bag!” Elder Remus said, and Bryce ran into their room. “Be careful!” Stella told him. Bryce left their room while carrying his backpack. “You are ready, huh!” Elder Remus said and held Bryce’s hand. “Enjoy!” He added while looking at Stella.
Theo didn’t show up in the house when the night came, “I know he is busy too!” Daisha said and winked at Flora. “We already know that and we will have fun too!” Flora answered and went to the living room. “There’s more?” Stella asked her best friend, and Flora nodded her head.
Sadine showed up while carrying a lot of beers, “They will be here at any moment!” Sadine said and put all the beers on the centre table. “Who?” Stella asked them but no one answered her.
“You will like it!” Flora told her and tapped her shoulders.Download Novelah App
