Back
Adeline
For days, I felt relieved that I stayed in the pack. Nothing unusual had happened, and I recognized everyone I saw. It only means that I never transported or whatever that is called to that arrogant and egotistical Alpha. Yes, for me, he is every woman’s dream. But that’s all. I don’t feel anything special about him.
Mike and I engaged in sexual activity and repeated the incident several times. I do not feel remorseful for it, as I do not perceive any attraction between the arrogant Alpha and myself, which precludes us from being mates.
“Are you listening, Adeline?” Dad asked. I looked at him and found all eyes on me. We are in the middle of the meeting to discuss the Alpha’s daughter from the neighboring pack, who has been found dead. And up until now, no one knew about what had happened or who the criminal was.
“Yes, Dad,” I replied. I should focus on them since we are talking about something important. We can’t just ignore this case because no one in their right mind would attack or even hurt an alpha’s daughter, especially if she’s just a girl.
“The patrol should be done regularly as always,” Dad said.
“Let’s add some shifts.” As I said that, everyone glanced at me again. Therefore, I continued. “The patrol guards make three shifts daily. That makes 8 hours of patrolling for each of them. But I want to cut it in half since we have a good number of warriors and fighters. In that case, they won’t be too tired and will still be at their best whatever happens.”
“Four hours of patrol for every warrior is fair enough. I agree with Adeline,” Daniel said. I always have him by my side, and he always has my back. Every time I had suggestions or opinions, he was always there to back me up.
“Another thing,” I said. “Since we aren’t sure about who the enemy is or who did that gruesome crime, let’s form a team, a squad, or a task force, whatever you want to call it. But they were the ones who would be working on the investigation to find the bastard who did that to the poor girl. As of today, there was no case reported on humans or supernatural beings with the same crime. We can consider it an isolated case. But in our world, there’s no such thing as coincidence or isolation. Everything happens for a reason.”
“Do you think something like that will happen again?” Dad asked.
“Yes. And we have to stop it before that bastard takes another innocent life. We don’t know, while we are sitting here, if a new crime is being committed. Which I hope not.”
“Alpha, Adeline has a point,” Beta Mari said.
“Do you think I didn’t know that? Why do you think I let her attend this meeting if she won’t be of any help?” Dad replied, annoyed, and I wanted to laugh at how he looked, but I had to hold it in since I knew that he would get mad at me. I couldn’t help a smile form on my lips.
“What? You want to laugh?” he asked. Because of that, I couldn’t hold it anymore.
“I’m sorry, Dad. You don’t look good when you’re angry. I’m thankful that I didn’t take my looks after you.” I replied in between laughter, and Daniel, who was holding his laughter as well, started to burst laughing, as did Dad’s beta and Gamma Remus.
“Did you see how idiotic my children are?” he asked, shaking his head. When Daniel and I are like this, he knows he cannot do anything about it. He was accustomed to me making fun of him for his appearance, but he never got upset. Daniel looks like Mom, and I don’t, so I wonder where I took my beautiful face.
“Get serious now,” Dad said.
“Alpha, I will take care of forming the task force that will focus on the incident,” Gamma Remus said.
“Alright, take Daniel on your team.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“I am going to arrange the schedule for the patrol shifts.” It was Beta Mari. Dad nodded, and I know that he felt relieved, thinking how reliable those two are.
“What about you, young lady? What do you plan to do?” Dad asked. I looked at him and then at Daniel.
“I will probably sleep for a while. I feel tired all of a sudden.” I replied. “Why? Do you want me to do something?”
“Nothing. If you want to rest, you can rest. As long as you’re in the pack, that’s fine with me.” Dad replied.
“OK, just call me if you need anything. I’ll be in my room.” I replied, and then we started to get up and leave his office.
“Gamma,” Daniel said, so we looked at him. “I’ll follow you to the training ground. I’ll just talk to my sister.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“No problem,” Gamma Remus replied and left with Beta Mari while I looked at my brother, waiting for whatever he was going to talk to me about. I noticed he looked at Dad’s office before he gently pulled me away and sent me to my bedroom.
“Make sure that you will only take a nap and not go to Mike. Don’t give Dad something to think about.”
“Daniel,”
“Adeline, you’re my sister, and I love you. But Dad is so worried about you. He loves you so much, you know.”
“I am not going to do anything that may harm myself. Please don’t worry about me.” He sighed and nodded his head before he left.
Then I was left thinking about the situation at hand. We have problems, and I want to get involved with them, even if I was also thinking about that arrogant Alpha.
No, I shouldn’t think about him. Why would I, when I don’t even know him? Argh! It pisses me off. I should just go see Mike instead.
With that thought, I opened my room door and took a look to see if there were omegas who had been stationed to watch for me, but I saw no one, so I went out and headed for Mike.
“Hey, love.” He said so as soon as he saw me. I smiled, thinking he loved me so much. We have been in love with each other since I was 15 and have been in a relationship since then. I am young, yes. But he was my classmate in high school, and it isn’t his fault that I am so smart that I skipped grades, was accepted into college, and graduated a lot earlier than everyone at my age. “Tell me you didn’t escape from Alpha Ringo.” He added it with a stern look on his face, which I am used to.
“He wouldn’t let me if I asked him for permission,” I replied, and I saw him sigh deeply. He doesn’t like the idea that I am defying my father. He wanted to go to the pack and ask Dad for his blessing so we would have our relationship out in the open, but I always stopped him since I already knew what Dad would tell him and I didn’t want that to happen.
My father is an alpha, and there’s a possibility that he would order Mike to leave me. It was a world where humans and supernatural beings lived in harmony. So getting married to a human was natural, but my father didn’t want that. It’s not because he is discriminating against him for being a human; it’s just because he wants everyone to be with their mates and feel the love they can offer each other.
“I’ll just finish cooking the food here while you go upstairs and take a bath,” Mike said, so I smiled and nodded before I made my way to his bedroom, where the bathroom was.
I missed him so much, so I was thinking of staying the whole night with him and going home the next day. With that in mind, I started taking a bath, and just as I was done wrapping my body with a towel, the lights went off. Since wolves have enhanced eyesight, I could still see the door, so I opened it and said, “Mike, why did the lights go off?”
“What the–”
“Who are you?”
Two different voices said at the same time, so I looked where it came from and found the arrogant and egotistical alpha looking at me while his dick was in the she-wolf’s. I don’t know her ass. He was taking her from behind, so I can’t tell. Wait, I’m back? They’re back?
