Chapter 34: Chapter - 34 Panicked Underlings

Belladohnnis’s Point Of View

"Hey have any of you seen the boss lately?" I asked Justus and Rohlander.

They were sitting in the security box near the gate playing a game of cards.

"Uh, no... pretty sure the twins said he was going to be indisposed for a week or so, why?" Justus asked.

"Ah... well it’s about the Golden Lion... it would appear we’ve been reported, and now there will be an inspection in 2 days." I replied nervously.

I was technically the General Manager of the Casino Hotel, but until recently that place basically ran itself. However, ever since the boss hid his mate and siblings there everyday was full of chaos.

"Who’s doing the inspection?" Rohlander asked.

"The ATF..." I groaned.

Both Justus and Rohlander jumped up immediately, both looking exceptionally pissed off.

"Those sons of bitches!" Rohlander yelled.

"That’s not an inspection dumbass, that’s a shake down! Those power hungry government bastards! Why now of all times?!" Justus yelled.

My eyes widened at his exclamation. I hadn’t had to deal with anything this big before. After thinking things over, it probably had something to do with the shoot out that transpired between Sylvester and the government agents last week.

The fact that we were given a heads up was suspicious in itself. Normally they would have just showed up and bust in. We had long since cleaned up that fiasco and repainted the walls. We even detail cleaned the penthouse, so they wouldn’t find anything even if they searched, but most of the men open carried and some had questionable backgrounds.

They would most certainly need to stay away from the casino for a while, but that would almost cripple our security. Most of all, these weren’t decisions I could make on my own.

"So what are we going to do? Who the hell do we talk to, if not the boss?" I asked.

*Beep...Beep...*

Just then, Jasper pulled up to the security booth with the twins in tow.

"Yo losers. How have things been this morning?" Payhne asked.

He was bandaged up so much, nearly covering his face completely. The twins were always terrifying, but he seemed even more fearsome wrapped up like that.

"The ATF is going to shake down the casino, but we can’t contact the boss about it..." Rohlander said.

"Shit... which casino?" Raihne asked.

"Golden Lion..." I replied.

"We’ll need at least 15 upstanding men, with gun permits to go there. Who do we have that fit the bill? And when the hell are they coming?" Payhne asked.

"We probably have 10 at best and they are allegedly coming in 2 days..." Justus sighed.

"Ugh... fuck... I’ll run it by Ferdinand, maybe Sylvester can loan us some men too. Let our guys know so they can head there today and be prepared." Payhne said.

"Yes, sir." I replied.

Jasper continued on to the house once our conversation was done. Justus let out a heavy sigh.

"The boss really doesn’t need this shit right now..." He said, sitting back down.

"I haven’t been home in a while... why is the boss indisposed?" I asked.

"Hmm... I dont really know all the details, but the boss’s mate is about to have his heat cycle and it’s going to effect all of them in some way or something like that." Justus replied.

"I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that he has to share his mate... how the hell is that even possible?" Rohlander said.

"Wait, he what?" I asked, shocked.

"Well... you’ve seen the news right? Apparently, the boss went with Sylvester and Bellamy and shut that facility down to save Cole and their mate. His mate is apparently from that facility..." Justus sighed.

"Yeah Cole was shot twice in the process... by the time we all got there it was already over." Rohlander added.

"Then Meyhymn "liberated" 20 some Omegas, who are now currently living in Sylvester’s old house." Justus said.

"What the hell? I clearly need to come home more often. All this happened within two weeks?" I asked.

"Ha! Don’t forget Mr. Wyhett invading the house with government agents to abduct the boss’s mate. Ms. Kristi was pissed about having to replace all the second floor windows." Justus said.

"Ugh... and the other maids were pissed about all the bodies and blood. They made 10 guys stay back and help clean it all up before the boss got back." Rohlander groaned.

"I’m beginning to think I need to start training a new General Manager for the Golden Lion... I’d like to come home now. Things seem like they’re going to get interesting." I said.

"Well Belladohnnis, I think Gallahnder would make a decent replacement. If you’re serious that is. He’s one of our upstanding men who owes the boss and he’s one of the best lieutenants we have." Rohlander said.

"Ouch, that’s hurtful Ro. What am I, chop liver?" Justus asked.

"You don’t want the job, right?" Rohlander asked.

"Yeah, hell no. Sounds like a giant pain in the ass..." Justus replied.

"And that’s why I didn’t say you, dumbass." Rohlander said rolling his eyes.

"Haha, you’re not wrong... Thanks for the advice Rohlander. I’m going to go round up the guys and take them back to the hotel with me. Let me know if Sylvester will send more men if you hear anything." I said.

"Yeah, sure thing. Oh, if you are seriously thinking about coming home, then you should decide if you are willing to protect the estate and the boss’s mate against Delgahtowe’s government agents too. If not better stay at the hotel brother." Justus said.

"Ha! It’d be my genuine pleasure." I smirked, then walked away.

After hearing all the laws they were breaking and all the stress they were putting on the boss, I had no qualms taking on the government to help the boss. After all, I owed that man my life, and I intended to return the favor at any cost...

Payhne’s Point Of View

"Well, home sweet home boys." Jasper said pulling up to the front door.

"Haah... it’s good to be home..." Raihne sighed.

"Absolutely. I’ll help you up the stairs brother." I replied.

"Yeah I will as well. It can’t be easy trying to climb stairs with crutches." Jasper said.

"Thanks, guys..." Raihne said.

"Where are you planning to go?" Jasper asked once we were up the first flight of stairs inside.

"The playroom of course." I replied.

"Ah, yes. The princess lair. Understood." Jasper replied.

"Yeah you might as well meet the girls and let them get used to you. Joobehlee is really skittish, even around us so be careful." I said.

"Roger that."He replied.

"Oh also let’s go the back way, since I don’t think anyone can push that door open inside." Raihne added.

We headed down the 3rd floor hallway to the arcade. Then I pushed on the wall between the coin changer machine and a first person shooter game. It opened with a small click and then we were standing in the bathroom of the playroom.

I couldn’t hear anyone playing, however Kaihsie was talking to herself.

"They seem to still be asleep, so I’m going to go talk to Ferdinand about the casino." I said.

"Oh? Running away already brother?" Raihne asked with a smirk.

"Call it what you want, but he needs to know sooner rather than later. And who else do you know that can walk into his room and not die today?" I asked.

"Too true... but he’s probably still sleep." Raihne said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh well. Once I lay down I’m going to sleep, so better to do it now." I said before turning around and heading back out.

Truth be told, I had seen what I looked like at the hospital. Arrisa would definitely blow her lid when she saw me, and I was trying to prolong that outcome for as long as possible.

They had given me pain meds so I wasn’t in any physical pain right now, but mentally I was a wreck. My pride had taken a major hit after the crash. I was useless in protecting anyone. Meyhymn had done it all alone. If he hadn’t come with us, we would have lost the girls yesterday, and I would have died inside.

As I made it back to the 2nd floor, I noticed there were boxes outside everyone’s room except for Bellamy’s. I picked up the one in front of Ferdinand’s room and opened the lid.

Inside were a ridiculous amount of injections, the box was clearly left by Bellamy in preparation for the mating cycle. Clearly he had stayed up all night doing his best to prepare.

I placed the lid back on the box and knocked on Ferdinand’s door. Before I heard an answer from Ferdinand, I heard a door open behind me. I didn’t need to turn around to see who it was, Tristan’s pheromones were so overwhelming I immediately covered my nose.

When I finally turned around, I noticed he was just standing in the doorway breathing heavily, his eyes barely open. He took a step forward and tripped over the box in front of the door.

"Ngh... ow..." He groaned.

Instead of standing, he began to slowly crawl my way. I became nervous. I needed to open Ferdinand’s door but he still hadn’t answered yet. Tristan was right in front of me now, his pheromones practically pressed down on my chest.

However, instead of standing up Tristan curled up next to Ferdinand’s door laying down. I gave up waiting on Ferdinand’s reply and just opened his door. He was still sleeping in his massive bed. After a few moments of his door being open and Tristan’s pheromones no doubt wafting into his room, he sat up immediately. His eyes were wide, and we instantly made eye contact.

I walked into his room and set the box down on his bedside table. He looked at me confused, clearly not understanding why he was seeing me yet smelling Tristan.

"Glad to see you’re okay Payhne, you had me worried." Ferdinand said sleepily.

"Thanks boss. Uhm... Tristan is sleeping outside your door. I’m pretty sure he was sleep walking. Bellamy left those boxes in front of all your doors as well. I also have something important to discuss with you, boss." I said.

Ferdinand was already walking out his door before I could finish my statement. He picked Tristan up and brought him into his room, placing him on his bed.

"What’s the important thing you need to talk about, feel free to summarize. I know his pheromones are too strong right now. I’ll try to help quickly for your sake as well." Ferdinand said, pulling a cover over Tristan.

"The ATF is going to shake down the Golden Lion in two days. We have about 10 men who can go that have clean backgrounds, but we’ll need at least 5 more. Do you think Sylvester has 5 we can use too? I have a feeling the ATF will show up tomorrow and not the actual scheduled day." I said.

"Fucking government pricks... do what you want, I trust you completely. Keep me in the loop as well, I’ll go if I have to. I’ll ask Sylvester to send us some men, if we don’t have enough I’ll get Meyhymn to make some fake ID’s for some of our men just in case." Ferdinand said.

"Okay... also boss we have 17 newbies that want to join. 10 are Alphas with recommendations from other men, 7 are betas and 2 of which have questionable recommendations. I’m too fucked up to do any vetting. What should we do?" I asked.

"I hate to put even more on his plate but, we might need Meyhymn to run some checks. Just choose two other lieutenants, you and Meyhymn and vet them on Wednesday. We aren’t hurting for manpower just yet, but we could never have too many." He replied.

"Understood. I’ll ask Meyhymn later on. I’m going to get some rest now. I think the meds are wearing off, and you have your own problems to deal with I can see." I said.

"Where is Sylvester? Tristan was supposed to be with him." Ferdinand asked.

"I’m pretty sure he’s still sleep in bed. It honestly looked like Tristan came to you on instinct, he just never made it to the door." I replied.

"Mmm... Ferdinand..." Tristan groaned.

"Bye boss. Make sure you use those injections." I said heading out the door before Tristan woke up completely.

Honestly, I was terrified of seeing his eyes again. They were so mesmerizing but eerily dangerous. It triggered my fight or flight reflexes almost immediately. I headed out the door and closed it behind me, taking a deep breath once his pheromones were sealed inside.

Sylvester’s door was still opened so I picked up the knocked over box and walked into his room with it. I placed it on his bedside table as well and headed back towards the door.

"Ngh... What the hell?" Sylvester mumbled.

I turned to see him looking around confused. Then we made eye contact and he flinched.

"Tristan is with Ferdinand, he basically walked there in his sleep. Bel made those boxes for each of you, and now I’m leaving." I said in the doorway.

"Payhne...? Glad you guys are okay buddy. I gotta say though somehow you look even more terrifying bandaged up like that." Sylvester chuckled.

"Yeah thanks. Fuck you." I replied walking out of his room.

I made my way back to the playroom bracing myself for the lecture I was sure to recieve...
