Taming the Hybrid Mate: Desired by Five Alphas-Chapter 219: Legacy on the line

Tracy’s POV

"But that wasn’t the plan, Tracy. You are getting greedy. How sure am I that you can get her out? I am out of your charades," she replied.

"If you don’t help me, I’ll make sure to blow you up in Ashwood so bad that you get expelled. You know I have those who would help me with that, and it’s going to be so easy with you," I retorted sternly.

"Whatever, Tracy, I regret meeting you," she replied.

I burst out laughing. I need to drink to this. "Well, not until your friend is released."

The line went silent, and a few seconds later, she ended the call. Good riddance.

Not like I could help her friend, but I could tire her out until she stops thinking about her friend.

"Tracy, you are a genius," I muttered to myself, whistling at the same time.

"What’s the excitement all about? Felicia hasn’t yet been released from Ashwood detention, so why are you excited?" Mom said, bursting into my room.

"You should have at least shown some courtesy and knocked on the door before badgering inside, and bombarding me with questions," I retorted.

She shrugged and settled on the bed beside me. "What sort of courtesy are you demanding in my house? Or don’t you know that you should either be in school, in your house, or in your mate’s house? You amuse me, Tracy.

I’m just tolerating your presence in my home, for what a disgrace you are. You couldn’t handle your fellow students in Ashwood, and that’s the reason you are here, insinuating nuisance."

"Not today, Mom, not today. We have been over this topic over and over..."

"But nothing has changed, or has it? You are still in my house, occupying unwanted space. So maybe the reason for your excitement this morning could be positive, something that can get you out of my house as quickly as possible."

"Mom!" I screamed at her, my voice rising a bit higher than usual. My hands were trembling, and I gritted my jaw.

"What?" she replied, appearing unfazed by my body language. "You can scream all you want, but you haven’t answered my question, and that doesn’t change my stance either."

"You didn’t have to walk into my room this morning to spoil my mood. There are other things you could have done instead of picking on me. Because that’s all there is to you, constantly picking on me," I retorted.

"I see what you are doing, Tracy. Refusing to answer my questions, you choose to deflect. I would repeat my question, child. What made you so excited before I came in?"

"It doesn’t really matter anymore, since I’m no longer as excited, and I have totally forgotten why," I lied. She didn’t deserve to know why I was happy because it wouldn’t even change a thing. She is always so overbearing.

"You don’t want to tell me why...I see, but you have to know that I’m getting fed up with your presence in this house. You have to start getting involved in pack matters. Maybe by doing so, you could find a way back to school. Or don’t you know that you have to do something to clean your dent so that you can be accepted again?"

"I know, Mum, but that would be after I had dealt with Aria to my satisfaction. She put this dent that I have to clear up on me, I have to return the favour," I replied, my voice calming down a little.

"Now, you sound like my daughter. Dress up, you will be visiting the pack elders. You will get to meet their sons, you will get to understand your dad’s business, since you are my first daughter and I have no son," she continued.

"You sound a bit off, Mom, and in a haste. What is the matter?"

"In case you don’t know, I have been the way I have been towards you because I wanted you to be strong, strong enough to face the male wolves in our clan that will compete for your father’s position. I have no son, and Tracy, you seemed strong enough to carry it out.

When you went to Ashwood, the male wolves of our clan respected your dad, and none dared threaten the seat. But since you were expelled, they have started rearing their ugly heads.

So you see why you have to get up and start doing something to claim your father’s legacy, before other wolves will take it from you."

Things were switching up really fast and badly for me. Felicia has been in Ashwood’s detention room since she isn’t a student yet, thereby costing her future application to the school.

My father’s seat and legacy as the Alpha of our clan are being threatened, and I’m nothing to write home about. I’m a school dropout.

"Fuck you, Aria," I screamed at the top of my lungs, my whole body almost convulsing with fury and frustration.

"I regret the day I ever met you in Ashwood..."

"And that is the exact reaction she wants from you, ’regret, fear and frustration’. And now she can’t get out of your head. It was supposed to be the other way round, but here you are, obsessed with her entire being," Mom cut me off mid-crash out.

"What do you mean by that, Mom?"

"I heard your conversation before I came in. I knew exactly why you were excited, and it annoyed me to see that you were excited with the little effort of whoever, when Felicia is still in detention. You need Felicia if you want to pull things in Ashwood and in this clan."

"But Mom, Felicia failed a simple task. How am I sure she could carry out other plans?.

First off, she lied that she had killed Aria in the forest on her way back from the mall in preparation for Ashwood’s kissing booth event, and I was happy for that.

Just to find out later that Aria wasn’t killed, in fact, she was very alive and strong enough to detain her former friend, who she thinks is now in immoral conduct."

I took in some breath and continued. "How am I supposed to trust that she could help me with any other task, especially the complicated ones?"

"Every fight needs tactics and strength. And you know, Tracy, you have the elegance, face and appearance, but Felicia has the strength and tactics. She must have made some flops here, and there doesn’t mean she can’t be better," Mom replied.

"Mom, I’m just pissed that you have this level of tolerance for Felicia, but you don’t have an atom of tolerance for me.

I’m pissed that you eavesdropped on my conversation; that’s very savage. And I’m already tired of this conversation if we can’t discuss a way out."

"Ok," she said, raising her hands in the air in surrender, "I’ll leave for now, but I’ll return, I promise. Don’t forget, we have to visit our clan elders."

"Yes, mom, I heard you, I won’t forget," I replied.

I breathed in and out immediately she walked out of my room. I was once again left to my thoughts.

I missed Felicia, and I wanted her out of Ashwood’s detention, but with my tarnished image, I can’t set foot in Ashwood.

And with the pack on my neck, Aria’s world has to end now. My mom’s words replayed in my mind, "You have to clean your name to get accepted in society again."

I’ll do whatever I can to get back to how it was before Aria, and when I get back there, I’ll deal with her through another means.

I let out a psychotic laugh as I headed to the shower.

*********Andria’s POV*********

"We are hungry, don’t we get to eat? The day is already far spent," Becca grumbled.

"Well, if you keep your mouth shut for a while, maybe you wouldn’t be so hungry," Allison teased, rolling her tongue in her mouth.

Becca looked like she was torn between laughter and anger at Allison’s words, but she chose to ignore her.

It wasn’t long before two security officers burst inside.

"It’s time for your lunch," they announced.

Relief flooded Becca as she stood up immediately to go.

"Not without us," one of the security guards called out. "We are here to lead you to where you would be having lunch.

"I don’t quite understand, so that we wouldn’t be eating in the cafeteria?" Becca asked, looking very disappointed.

"Yes, you wouldn’t. Now move ahead," the security guard commanded.

I could tell he didn’t want to engage us any further, so we moved in silence until we reached a small room that looked like the general cafeteria, but it was poorly ventilated.

"Ha Ha Ha, look who we have here," Liara announced as soon as we got into the cafeteria.

"Since you are joining us for lunch, I’m guessing that you are also in detention," Felicia added.

"Isn’t that surprising?" Liara asked, and both of them burst out laughing.

"Enough," the security guard who had brought us scolded, and there was a deafening silence. Just the two of us staring at each other with a murderous gaze.
