“Zander, I have some news for you.” My father’s voice was gruff, and I sat up, hanging my legs off the side of the bed as I reached for my phone.
“Off speaker,” I said as I put it to my ear. “Yeah, what news?”
He chuckled slightly, “It seems that the Mistress is feeling a bit confined these days.”
“What are you talking about?”
“She got upset at a few of her elders when they tried to force her to mate again. She took off on her own, and it is my understanding that she has told them now that she wishes to start leaving the property more often.”
“For what? To travel?”
He laughed again, “No, to go out and show herself to her people. I’m not exactly sure of her motives, but she wants to get out more often, be around her own kind. I have a feeling it is to flush me out, but I know better.”
“How did you hear this?” The shower turned off in the bathroom and I got up and walked out of the bedroom.
“I have my sources.” He said. His fucking sources. Fuck him. I was tired of him not telling me everything that was going on. Didn’t he think he could trust me? Hadn’t I proved to him that I was his son?
“Yeah, well, you know that you could let me in on the plan.”
“No, it’s better if no one knows what is going on. It’s harder to keep secrets when too many people know.”
“I’m one person. I think you can trust me.”
“Can I?” He asked.
I frowned, “Of course you can. When have I ever done something that would cause you to think otherwise?”
“You haven’tdoneanything.” He paused, “it’s what’s inside your head that bothers me.”
“Inside my head, what the hell are you talking about? The only thing going on inside my head is trying to figure out what you are up to so I can figure out some way to help.”
“Zander, when the time comes, you will be called into action. Your part will be critical, trust me. Until then, I need you to remain quiet, although I understand that you have been seen out.”
“Of course, I’ve been out. You never said I needed to stay locked in this damn house.”
“No, of course not, but I suggest you limit the number of people you meet, and the kind of places that you go. We want there to be rumors of you, but nothing confirmed.”
Rumors? Seriously, what the fuck was he trying to do. “What is your plan? I think it’s time that you told me.”
“I already told you that Zander, and I told you that I will not explain it yet. What you need to do is to keep a low profile, for a little while longer. Things are finally slipping into place, and your time is coming.”
I huffed as I stared out the window at the waves rushing up on the shore. “Fine, but it better hurry the fuck up. I’m sick and tired of waiting.”
“Patience my dear boy, patience. You keep this up, and soon you’ll be at my side controlling the breed and taking control of our destiny. The humans will cower at our feet, beg for us to save them.”
“Is that really what you want? You want to make them all cower? You not only want to control the breed, but the human world too?”
“Of course. That is my destiny, just like you are on your path to yours. I promise that you will enjoy the destiny that comes to you.”
“How the hell do you know that?”
His voice was low, gruff as he spoke, “Because I know you, my son. I see what is in your head, in your heart.”
He was so full of shit. No one knew what was in my head. I had never spoken of my odd thoughts, of the dreams that came to me, the imagines that rattled around in my head.
“Yeah, whatever. Is there anything else?”
“No, but if the Mistress decides to break out of the palace gates and start enjoying the pleasures of everyday modern life, you should be able to start your task sooner than later. We just have one more thing to get into place before that happens.”
