“Is,” his father corrected. “He is still alive.”
“Well, damn.”
“Language, young man. You’re not too old for me to put over my knee.”
Jordan turned and smiled at his mom who was forever threatening to spank him.Yup, that is what she is, I love her.He turned and looked at his dad.I love them both and nothing will change that.
“So now that the block is broken, will he be able to find me?” he asked them both.
They looked at each other and then back at him. “We hope he’s given up his need for revenge,” his father told him.
“After all, he still has a kingdom to run,” his mother added.
“Yes, a kingdom that rightfully belongs to Jordan. You are more than just his grandson. You are a threat to him.”
“Wait, what the he...heck are you two talking about?”
“Jordan, we had to change our names when we reentered the human world, again. Your full title is Crown Prince Jordanie Masako Shihon Valnan of the dark nyxian sect. I am second to the throne, Princess Ayumi Yuriko Shihon Valnan of the dark nyxian sect.”
He looked at his parents to see if they were trying to pull his leg. He would have burst out laughing if his parents’ face wasn’t so serious.Really, me, a prince? Bronx is going to laugh once I tell him. Will I be able to tell him?
“That’s a whole lot of names,” Jordan finally spoke as he went to stand, and the room began to spin. “Shit, not again,” he mumbled, falling forward on the bed. That time he did not black out. His dad was right next to him, helping him into the bed. He was getting tired, but he knew that he and his parents needed to talk. He had so many questions for them and for Duncan. But it would have to wait until he got some more rest. He closed his eyes and smiled when he felt his mom’s lips on his forehead and his dad’s strong hand on his.
“Are you sure he’s in here?” Maddison asked her brother.
“Yup, I can smell him, and I heard Uncle Duncan talking to Uncle Ryland about going to the old building,” Benjamin answered, opening the door and peeking through the small crack. Benjamin was worried about Jordan. It had been a few days since he saw his friend. He and Maddison had spent the weekend with their friends and they were very excited to get home to tell Jordan about all the fun things they did. When Uncle Duncan told them that Jordan had to go away for a couple of days, it reminded Benjamin of the time their uncle told them about their mommy and daddy not coming home anymore. He was worried, and he knew that Maddison was as well. Benjamin knew it, but she tried to act as if she wasn’t.
“We are going to be in so much trouble once Uncle Parker knows we are gone,” Maddison whispered.
“No, we won’t,” Benjamin told her. “Jordan will protect us, promise.” Benjamin walked further into the large room the minute he realized that his uncle Ryland had left the room. “Come on.” Quickly as he could, he ran into the room with Maddison right behind him. And that was when he saw Jordan sleeping on one of the beds. Without thinking, Benjamin ran up to the bed. Jordan was sleeping, and he was about to wake him when Maddison stopped him.
“Don’t, what if he’s hurt?”
Benjamin turned and looked at her, she was finally showing how worried she was about Jordan. “What should we do?”
“You could climb up here with me.” They both gasped and looked over to Jordan who was staring down at them. “Come on.”
“Are you sure?” Maddison asked.
“Yup, I’ve missed you two.”
“Sir, I also have the contracts and the new name change to Com Stock Inc., you also have a two thirty meeting with a Mrs. Smithe, and a board meeting with the board of directors at five. You also have a business meeting with a Ms. Silverman at eight.”
Duncan nodded his head, listening to his secretary list everything that he had to do. From the look of it, he wouldn’t even have time to take a bathroom break. “Anything else?” Duncan asked and prayed she would say no, he really wanted to be with Jordan. But he had already been away from his office for three days.
“Um…no, Mr. Pryde, that’s it.” She went to leave just as his cell phone rang, and he picked up seeing the name on the screen. He waved at his secretary and she got the message and left his office.
“Parker, what’s up?”
“It’s the kids.”
“What about the kids?” Duncan demanded as he sat up in his chair, worry building inside of him. He couldn’t take any more unexpected things happening to his family.
“They aren’t here; I’ve searched everywhere for them, but I can’t find them anywhere.”
“What the fuck do you mean, Parker?!” Duncan yelled. “I leave them in your care for a few hours and you lose them?” He got up from his chair, grabbing his jacket. “I’m on my way home and you better find them before I get there.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
