Alpha's Return Mate

CHAPTER EIGHT

CLAVE’s POV.

From where I was seated in the dark, I could see everything that was going on and how dare they point a gun at my man in front of me?

I had come to the club to cool off after leaving Ayita’s college and taking a shower.

Lorenzo reported everything that happened to me and i couldn’t help but laugh, Ayita had always been a nutcase and I somewhat enjoyed her naughty behavior… I call her my cattiva

Gritting my teeth together, I grabbed a hold of my gun but Ebony, who was seated beside me, grabbed my hand.

“Lorenzo can take care of them, Clave” she told me but that was not what stopped me, it was the lady who was seated with Lorenzo.

The moment the gun was pointed at Lorenzo’s head, Ayita let out a loud yelp and all attention turned to them.

But no one dared to make a move, this was a club that was mostly patronized by the mafia members but it seemed the lady in red was not aware of what was happening.

“Who are these people, Lorenzo?” She asked him and my forehead creased into a frown.

She knew his name? Didn’t they just meet today? How did she know his name mow? I am going to make sure he doesn’t hear the last of it.

“Why the f**k will you follow me into a club?” Lorenzo asked them, “can’t you see I am with a pretty damsel in distress?”

“How about I put a bullet through your damsel’s head?” The man with the gun asked in anger and a scowl appeared on my face.

Those who knew what was about to happen began to leave quietly and in no time, it was just us in the club house.

“I have seen more than enough creeps already” Ayita hissed in anger before turning to Lorenzo, “you can handle this on your own, I will take my leave now”

Not bothering to say anything again, she grabbed her bag and made to leave but Monroe got a hold of her hand and I balled my hand into a fist. She was very fair, his grip could leave a mark on her body.

“Where the hell do you think you are going?” He shoved her and Lorenzo was fast enough to get a hold of her and I saw him immediately pull out a gun while a look of surprise and confusion flashed across Ayita’s face.

“This is a no go area for you, Monroe” Lorenzo gritted as he pointed his gun at Monroe, “you have a squabble with me so leave the lady out of this”

This was what I wanted to protect her from exactly, this kind of life. I couldn’t lie, I was madly in love with the lady in front of me but i couldn’t have her. Not when the whole world would hunt her down because of me.

“What? Is she your new toy?”

“Don’t you dare?” Ayita gritted, “is he the same guy who was on my rooftop this morning with a gun?” She turned and asked Lorenzo and i couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. Did this lady even have any sense of security at all? That was why I put a lot of people on her trail, she just didn’t care about anything at all.

“Did something happen that I do not know off?” Ebony’s voice filtered into my ear.

“What do you mean?”

“Ayi….” Her voice trailed off when I immediately sprang up from where I was seated and began to take slow steps towards them.

The moment all eyes fell on me, i could feel a hush on the room. No one expected that I would be here at the particular time, even Lorenzo was surprised.

“Clave?” My name rolled out of his lips and Ayita immediately turned to me, the moment our eyes met, I closed mine for a moment. I didn’t want to think about her or how her body looked at the moment.

“Clave?” She also called out to me.

“Take this b***h away drom here” I told Ebony, “and stop bringing your f*****g women to this club” I growled in anger and I saw a look of confusion flashed through her face.

My attention didn’t linger much on her and I turned to Monroe,

“How dare you?”

“We didn’t know you were here boss, we…

“Silence!!!” I bellowed in anger and turned to Lorenzo again.

“Are you f*****g deaf, I said get your b***h out of here”

He hastily grabbed a hold of her and pulled her out of the club despite her tantrums.

The moment they were gone, I returned my focus to Monroe again.

“You broke the code and now you will pay for it”

“Boss…” the words hung in his mouth when I shot him in the leg and he let out a loud yelp.

Before his men could do anything, my men who were lingering in the shadows surrounded them.

Not bothering to say anything again, I turned around and walked out of the clubhouse with Ebony by my side.

I wasn’t surprised to see Ayita still standing outside and she looked like she was waiting for me.

“Wait for me in the car,” I told Ebony.

“For how long will you keep showing your face to us?” She hissed in anger.

“Wait for me in the car, Ebony” I ordered again and she rolled her eyes before walking away, a gesture I will make sure to punish her for later.

“I am sorry, Clave” Lorenzo began, “I just..

“You too” i interrupted him and he walked away immediately leaving the two of us.

“What the heck do you think you are doing?” I couldn’t help but ask the woman in front of me, “do you not have any sense of safety at all?”

“And why do you care?” Ayita rolled her eyes, “whatever I do should not matter to you, we do not owe each other anything”

I had the inkling to punish that attitude out of her but I kept silent and continued to stare back at her.

“Leave Los Angeles” I finally told her and she scoffed.

“What? I should leave?”

“Yes”

“And on what basis am I leaving?” Her voice is laced with enough sarcasm and anger, “you can not just up and tell me what to do. You rejected me and told me to leave the pack. You gave me a check of fifty million dollars and asked me never to show my face to you again but you kept appearing in front of me and now I should just up and leave because you asked?” Ayita scoffed as she raked her hand through her hair, the tattoo on her neck caught my attention for a moment. It was a beautiful tattoo of a cross, I loved it.

“Look Clave, you made me realize that nothing can ever happen between us and I have come to terms with that but you can't tell me to leave and I will, I am sorry but I will not be doing that. This is where i have chose stay and if anyone should leave, it should be you”

I chuckle lightly as I start to take slow breaths towards her, her breath hitching as my huge frame towered above her.

“Do not be too talkative, Ayita” I whisper over her hair, “I will send my driver to take you to the airport tomorrow. You can pick any country of your choice and the jet will be ready to take you”

I didn’t bother to wait for her response again before making my way towards my car despite her calling out to me. That was the only way for me to keep saving her or she would be a dead body before the month runs out.

“You can not order me around you wicked Clave” she called out to me and I chuckled lightly.

I didn’t bother to answer her until I boarded my car and my gaze darkened.

“I didn’t know she was going to come here, Clave,” Lorenzo told me but I ignored him and focused my attention on the lady beside me.

“Fix a meeting with Monroe’s family”

“We need to talk, Clave” Ebony demanded but I closed my eyes and pressed it against the car headrest.

“Make sure she gets home safely” I told Lorenzo, “or I will put a bullet through her big head”
