Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

Lake:

The broad-chested men took another look at the tall dressing mirror in front of us, and back to me again. My eyes continued to dance between them. We were torn between disposing of it, leaving it in the room, and sending it to her. I wanted everything about her and anything that would dare remind me of her, gone.

“Where is Jojo?!” The voice of the angry female outside the door stole my attention almost immediately. The men blinked twice as they stared at me. I turned my back towards them and walked slowly towards the door. I could recognize the voice since it belonged to one of my strippers and one of my warriors.

I stood behind the door, barely inches away from it. I instructed the men to stop work, so I could hear what was being said outside. Kenji tried to calm the raging woman, but she would hear nothing of what he had to say.

But she? Oh! She had a lot to say alright. With every sentence she made, something unpleasant struck a chord in my mind. I waited for the moment I would be filled with anger, so I could step out of the room and give her a piece of my mind. The moment never came, not even when she asked Kenji to screw himself and my entire board.

When silence finally descended on the corridor, I stepped away from the door and instructed the men to carry on with work.

I was still waiting for my anger to consume my mind, I was waiting for my mind to justify and give me a million reasons why Jojo deserved what I had done to her. It never came, because the truth was as clear as a bright morning sky.

She did not deserve it, any of it.

Ashley was right.

I had been there; I had seen it firsthand. Jojo needed the job and Rush Empire had gone a long way in helping her and could have been able to do a lot more. I was the one who took care of her sick mother’s bills and the money she had earned since she began work here was important in running other daily affairs.

It was why I had sent her forty thousand dollars. I knew I had to send her more money every month until I was certain she would be able to take care of herself and her mother. If not for anything, but to put my mind at rest.

The door opened and Kenji stepped in, Neil was behind him. My eyes landed on both men, but neither would speak until the workers left the room with the dressing table in their hands. Once the door was closed firmly behind us, they began. Kenji was first.

“I apologize that you had to hear that, Alpha Lake. The girls have been overly emotional since Jojo left, but I am certain they would come to terms with…”

The rest of his statement went in a blur. My mind disconnected from his words the second I felt the gnawing pain in my chest. It was sharp, like a bee’s sting, but this felt like several bullets were being shot into different parts of my chest.

It was now a common thing, almost part of my everyday life. Ever since the rejection, I had been feeling severe pains in my chest. On some days, it only lasted a few seconds and disappeared totally. On others, it lingered for more than hours, leaving me stuck on my bed and clutching my chest.

I was yet to speak about it, but I was sure Kenji and Neil could see through my charade.

I staggered backward and stopped when Kenji’s eyes narrowed on me.

“Are you okay, Lake?”

I nodded curtly. I hurried to find my stance and finally stood straight. Kenji and Neil exchanged confused looks, I knew I had to take their minds and attention off me.

I fixed my eyes on Neil before I spoke.

“What is that matter, Neil? You do not seem like you are here to help us pack.”

He looked at me and sighed heavily. From the way his eyes danced around the room, I could tell something was wrong.

He swallowed hard, while Kenji and I continued to watch him in anticipation. All it took was one look, just one faint look of fear in his eyes, for me to know what he was here for.

The rogues had struck again.

“Sir… alpha Lake. There has been another case of kidnap. The rogues have taken another body for a ransom of ten thousand dollars. She is twelve years old and was last seen in the city school two days ago. The letter reached her parents early this morning, they reported it to the police who reported it to me, just as you asked.” Neil said, his voice seeming lower than usual, as though he was scared of speaking.

He knew how restless the news of the rogues always made me. It felt as though the chief, whoever he was, was mocking me, making a fool of me. He stuck his dirty hands in my eyes and poked my nose while spitting and laughing to my face while screaming “I’ll do what I want and there is nothing you can do about it!”

I turned around and subconsciously dug my right fist into the brick wall.

“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! This is what? The sixth victim this month! And he is yet to return two other girls.” I grunted in frustration.

I could see Kenji’s concerned gaze, I could feel it melt the skin of my neck. Neil continued to clear his throat repeatedly, as though he had more to say.

“How have we still not been able to find this man and discover who he is? Nothing! Not even a strand of hair on his head. It feels like he sees us, everything that we do, but we do not know a thing about him.”

“That is because he has people here, on the inside, just like we have on his side. He knows what we are doing and he is playing a counter-attack, not a defense.” I replied. Of course, for him to be this successful in toying with my people and causing me to lose sleep, he had to have people here, people as smart and cunning as he was.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“And he is winning.” Kenji cut in. I could hear the disappointment in his voice.

My jaw hardened as I turned sharply to them. Neil froze in that instant, while Kenji kept his eyes away from mine.

“He isn’t, he can’t. The Rush pack has never lost a fight. This won’t be any different.”
