CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE

Rohan's pov I was lost and confused. The words were my father said to me were still ringing in my head and it occupied my every thought. I laughed when he said till I realized he wasn't joking. 'I want you to become alpha" he said casually. I laughed so hard and I stopped when I realized that he was serious. 'Wait, you are serious?" I asked him. 'Dead serious" he said. 'But dad, in order to become alpha I have to…" I trailed off when I looked at him and he nodded at me. My eyes bulged from my face, he wanted me to kill alpha Dickson? To challenge him? Well, I didn't see that coming. We talked about other things till we finally got to the part about my mate, I was still stuck with her. I didn't tell my father about my latest offense because I didn't want him to hate me. He advised me to go win her back, if I was to become alpha then I would be needing my mate by my side. It was good and I have trained so hard for this moment although, I was training to be the best warrior not the next alpha. After the talk with my dad, I went to my room to think about all of it, he dropped a bomb on me and I needed time to absorb the shock. This was huge! I needed time to plan and come up with a way to issue out a challenge and carrying it out. Alpha Dickson is a big man and he has trained all his life which is why he was alpha then there is little ole me, I don't know anything about fighting an alpha. I knew my dad would teach me seeing as he was a strong wolf and he knew a thing or two about how alphas fight. The good thing is that if I become alpha then I can choose any strong female in the pack and make her my Luna. I knew my dad wouldn't agree with me which is why I would play along with Avilla for a while to get my dad off my back and once I am pronounced alpha then I would look for a stronger woman. I made up my mind to come clean to Avilla and set things straight between us for the meantime, later in the evening I would go talk to her because I know she wouldn't pick my call, I had to go woo her back before I could proceed with my plans. I could hear my wolf protesting in my head but I ignored his tantrums and focused on my plans, he would understand that I am choosing a strong mate over my true mate. … It was later in the evening when Camilla left, we were still not speaking and it was starting to bother me in some way. She used to be my go to person and ben too but she stopped taking to me and I was avoiding ben for some reason, I wanted to talk to him about Avilla and staying away from her because she is my mate. He was getting awfully too close to she and I wanted to stop him before he gets ahead of himself. I think today was as good as any to solve all these once and for all, so I picked up my phone and called ben. He picked up at the first ring, 'Hello?" he answered. 'Ben, its Rohan" I said. 'I know that. What is it that you want?" he asked harshly. I was a bit shocked at his tone and it made me concerned, we didn't have any fight or anything and yet he was mad for some reason. 'Why are you sounding like that?" I asked him. 'Nothing, you have been avoiding me and now you call. What is up?" he asked again. 'I need to talk to you, part of why I have been avoiding you" I informed him. 'Okay, I will meet you wherever you text" he said and he hung up. Well, there's that. I thought long and hard if this was a good time to talk to him about this, he was already mad at me and this might end up pushing him over the edge. But I wanted to set my plans in motion so it was going to be today, he was going to suck it up. I texted him our favorite spot to hang out as I got dressed. Once I was done with ben then I would talk to Avilla. I told my parents where I was going and headed to my car, I drove to the place and there he was waiting for me. 'Thanks man for coming" I said. 'Yeah, what is it?" he asked. I could see he was still mad but he still cared about whatever he thought was bothering me. I hated that I was going to do this to me but I was actually saving him from a major heart break hen Avilla tells him that we are dating. I wanted it to come from me first because I owed it to him as my friend to let him know. 'Let's sit" I suggested. He did so without saying anything and I figured he was waiting for me to start speaking. I took a deep breath and started, 'Hey man, I know I have been an asshole lately and I just want to apologize. I have been busy with family and other things and I haven't had time for you." I started. He stared at me for a long time without saying anything. 'What's going on? I know that is not what you want to tell me and you are apologizing for being an asshole for a different reason" he said. He was right, I wasn't apologizing for avoiding him but because of the Avilla thing I was going to tell him. I laughed a little. 'I forgot how well you knew me" I told him. 'Yeah, so is there a problem?" he asked again. 'Yes, it's about Avilla" I said. I saw him tense up in preparation for the next thing I would say. 'What about her?" he asked. 'She is my mate" I said to him.
