Chapter 18

After finishing the call, William would pinch the bridge of his nose again. Feeling slight pangs of annoyance appear in his head.

"(Would it be too much of an inconvenience to sew Deimos' lips together?)" -the alpha would cross his arms thinking- "(Although it would make it a bit difficult to use his charisma, he doesn't necessarily need to speak to do his tasks. And if it weren't for the worst, he could learn sign language to express himself... although knowing him, this would only excite him more and if he found a way to be much more annoying than before... no matter how he looks at it, the only option I have is to keep putting up with him)"

Faced with the sadly discouraging thought, the black-haired man would limit himself to drumming his fingers on the back of the door. Wanting to take a drink of one of his strongest alcohols or have any kind of distraction.

As if sensing her need, the Aballay's cell phone would ring again, this time being a video call and ringing with a personalized melody that she recognized instantly, causing her to give a small smile.

"Hello Sarah… do you need something?" -William would calm down feeling better seeing his aunt who was wearing a purple dress and seemed to be sitting on one of the lounge chairs in the main courtyard of the Aballay mansion- "Do you want me to lend you one of my boys?"

"Thanks for the offer, but at the moment I don't need anything" -the omega would take a sip from a larger cup- "I'm just calling to check, how do you feel about the interview"

"What can I say… I wanted to talk so much about something that doesn't interest me in the least that it practically destroyed me that Aunt Veronica stole the spotlight for herself" -the alpha responded almost immediately without beating around the bush-

"William, I don't talk about that and you know it" -the current matriarch of the Aballays would look at her nephew a little seriously-

"Wait a second Aunt… Bentral" -the dark-haired man would speak to the other alpha- "give us privacy and drive slowly"

"As you command sir" -Bentral would press a button on the dashboard raising a soundproof glass that would divide the car in 2-

"Now continue" -William would say as he saw how the glass finished rising-

"As I was saying… I know what happens when an Aballay falls in love, Veronica doesn't keep any kind of secret from me, and I can say that it's affecting you much more than it affected my Veca" -the omega would leave her cup on the table without taking her eyes off the dark-haired man- "not only are you in a new unstable state for you, but you never liked being visible and examined while your space is invaded. You always preferred to be behind the scenes without drawing attention"

"I don't want to talk about it" -William murmured, while his eyes deviated a little-

"…" -Sarah remained silent for a few moments a little undecided on what to do until she finally sighed- "Okay... let's leave this between us but if this gets too much for you or you do something stupid I will go to my alpha and tell him everything"

"Thanks, aunt, I assure you that I will learn to control myself. I am the only one who decides what to do and how I do it. If it changes, I will let you know" -William promised looking into the omega's eyes again-

"Of course, honey. I know you have a very busy day ahead of you. I'm sorry I had to interrupt you, but I had to make you see my position with what's happening to you" -Sarah would cross her fingers between them and rest her chin on them-

"No need to apologize" -William frowned- "I appreciate that you talked to me about this... it's nice to have someone who knows my situation and supports me"

"We will always support you little Willi, no matter what, we will always be on your side... just promise that if it ever gets too much for you... let us know" -Sarah would smile seeing how her nephew rolled his eyes at the nickname that her partner always used-

"I promise you"

"I'll leave you with that" -Sarah nodded with a slight smile- "take care"

"You too" -William would say goodbye by cutting the video call and deciding to focus again on the documents he had wanting to distract himself-

The alpha navigated from document to document until he reached one that contained a personal note from Xander. This belonged to a dining room run by an alpha who took advantage of his position to mess with minors, getting away with knowing how to choose his targets combined with pure luck.

Which caused the discontent and disgust of the Aballay who would make sure that he could never get a job again, would destroy his reputation layer by layer and would give him a time out dedicated exclusively to punishment.

No one was going to live peacefully if they interacted with minors in that way.

When he finished with his thing, William began to watch the news on his cell phone and read everything that had been published so far about the attack on the Esbart. He wasn't afraid of being caught for what he had done, the only reason he watched them was because he was interested in what the vultures decided to write.

Having fun with their machinations, as pathetic as they were, their attempts were very funny. The black-haired man spent a good few minutes reading and listening to everything that was said until a voice broke him out of his well-deserved rest.

"Excuse the interruption, Mr. William" -Xander would speak after the glass went down- "we're here"

"Thanks for letting me know" -William would wait until both Bentral and Xander got out and opened the door for him to get out carrying the completed documents in a briefcase- "Follow me" -he would order walking towards the entrance of an administrative office-

When he got to the door a security guard would open the door for him, to which the black-haired man would greet him by nodding as he walked past him followed by Bentral and Xander who would copy their boss's gesture.

After completing the corresponding procedures the duo of alphas and the beta left saying goodbye to the guard and then getting into their car.

"What's next boss?" -the beta would ask looking sideways at the black-haired alpha-

"Let's go to the bar... we have important things to do"
