Chapter 46 - Alpha Daniel
Allison’s pov
“Luna.” I didn’t turn away from the window, stroking my bump slowly, feeling the sharp sliver of pain when Daniel was angry at me for not caring.... the sun was still out but setting when I still was staring out over the same spot, my eyes usually would land, the Omega quarters, it was being torn down, and people in this pack was not happy over that, wanting nothing more than just hid away the same people that made sure everyone else was taken care of, no money or even thanks for their efforts, that was not going to happen on my watch!
I was pleased being alone with my baby, my light floating above my head, letting me touch it when I wanted to; it was like I was happy for the first time in my life, I was.
“Luna, please?” I made a scowl hearing that annoying voice again; it was one of the girls assigned to me. I made sure I ate and all that things that Daniel didn’t think I did if someone wasn’t watching me when he wasn’t around.
“What?!” I turned around, still having my hand over my belly, making me heavy, and I loved every second of it. I didn’t even care that it was stiff and hurting. I wanted this light to come into this world more than anything else! More than Daniel's stupid plans to expand his reach of power, all that didn’t matter when I felt the warmness of the light over my head.
“A visitor, waiting in the lounge, says he knows you….” I made a snarl again, raising my eyebrows the slightest. Knew me? Nobody knew me in this pack or anywhere. I still was an Omega around here, no matter what Daniel told me. I wasn’t that stupid that I couldn't understand that people hated me, even more after what happened with the guard, people refusing to believe that he had even touched me; how could he? since I just was a filthy Omega, getting sick just from using the same handle I had taken on with my hand, who would fuck me?!
It made me even angrier; the girl wasn't helping with her constant nagging. What did she want from me, really?!
“I don’t have time…” she makes a face, like the other one, when she thinks I’m not looking, just a tiny twitch of her eyes like she can’t stand me being here, being her Luna, so what? I was, and there was nothing she could do about that. I could kill her, and she probably knew that staring at my hands like that was what I needed. I made a huff staring at the girl. She was pretty, like we all were, with stupid beast genes. I bet that if I wasn’t around, my mate would have fucked her on the spot.
“Please, Luna, it’s an Alpha. You can’t just rush him off…” she took another step inside like she couldn’t resist trying to convince me when I already had said no! what didn’t she understand about that part!?
“Keep the hell away from me!” I growl the last part to her scared eyes. Now she gets it that I’m not playing around, feeling my beast swirl. I hated girls like her, all pretty and with no such scar over her body. I bet she never had felt the whip over her back or being beaten for something that wasn’t even your fault!
“I can, and I will!” I pushed her back into the hallway with a loud thump when the door closed on her scared face, probably thanking the moon goddess that I didn’t kill her right where she was standing and holding her breath.
There was some tapping on the door when I walked back to the window, staring down the orchard and stroking my belly again. I didn’t want to be out there again. The last time I was alone, I almost died again, and now I was supposed to lead the same beast that would have taken a picture while I was being beaten to death? No!
My son's movement made me stop growling, my beast swirling when I felt the push from the hand so close, this was my life now, and the only persons I ever cared about were my mate and light. The rest could rot for all I cared. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on those Alphas and teach them that I wasn’t some pushover anymore!
“Luna?” the girl on the other side of the door was shaking when I was still staring down, sick of hearing her voice. Did she have a death wish or what?!
“Yes, what is it? Didn’t the stupid Alpha get my message that he could go to….” I stopped seeing the girl; she was shaking, and I was, screaming at her. She was dressed in clean clothes, and her face was clean, but I could see it clear as day.
Omega.
I had never seen her; she seemed scared I would beat her, and my anger was gone in the blink of an eye. I hated everyone, but not the Omegas, never them.
“Hey…. It's okay. Are you new to this pack?” She must have thought I was crazy, and I probably was when she was shaking her head, afraid to say the wrong answer, when I smirked. There were no correct answers, and I knew that.
“I’m here with the Alpha…” she was whispering, head down, and didn’t want to be seen, she looked around 16, but she was probably older, malnourished, same as me. I mean, come on, I was half Daniel's size, and I knew by looking at me and my kind, compared to the rest, that it wasn’t all genes. We didn’t eat, and somewhere I had picked up that was related, well, not anymore. I was proud of tearing down the omega quarters at the bottom of the village, even if the rest of the pack hated me for spending their money on the same people that was their unpaid servants.
“Have you been fed?” She made a startled movement when I walked up. My beast was coming out, dreaming answers making me sound mean and angry. Still, I was angry, not at her but at the people holding us like this, prisoners to Alphas that didn’t give a shit. If we lived or died, Daniel would not have noticed me if he wasn’t my mate.
“Yes, Luna.” She bowed her head even more when I came closer, showing off my dress, and looked up and down at her posture. Yes, she was a pure Omega, wanting to disappear and not get any attention from me that could make her life a living hell from the snap of my fingers.
“Are you sure? I have all these sandwiches, and I can’t eat them all….” Okay, I could eat them all alone: chicken and mustard, double cheese, and pickles. Not even Daniel was allowed to touch my food. Still, he wasn’t a starved Omega standing in the doorway and trying not to stammer back the correct answer to me.
“I’m sure….” She was pushing out her last breath when I made a huff; yeah, sure, I didn’t believe that for a second, taking her wrist and dragging her back to the coffee table and making her sit down there. Now she would eat.
“Ehm…. Luna, please….” She was rubbing her hands on the dress that was too big for her, making no eye contact and taking tiny breaths trying not to smell the food in front of her, and it was just a sandwich. I used to do the same when I was walking past something and was hungry; it was the smell that was the worst part, making my stomach turn and growl.
“Please, eat…” I took a sandwich when she was following my hand, licking her lips, and her stomach was growling, making me even more pissed off; as soon as I got my hands on that Alpha, he was going to wish he had never met me!
I was still eating when she finally caved in, making me purr the slightest, seeing her scoff down the white bread and making a slight frown at the pickles. What? There where the beast part of the whole thing. I could eat an entire jar of them and then some.
She was still scoffing down when a man walked inside. I had my back turned, still eating; when the girl started to choke like she was caught doing something wrong, I got up slowly and wanted to give her water. Still, she refused, making me frown more, so this was the Alpha; then, I could feel the vital life force that came with it … and I recognized it too…. Like I had thought it before turning slowly.
“You!” I growled, seeing the older Alpha standing there and looking like he was amused, both from the girl still trying to catch her breath and me, that was snarling at him, wanting to shift and take him out even if I knew that he would be able to snuff me out with one stroke.
“Luna Allison... we meet again, and you have met my mate, I see…” he made another twitch with his head, making the young girl come back to his side, still coughing the slightest and staring at the floor, hiding half behind the big man that was smirking seeing me, stopping at my belly making me snap my jaws at him, who the fuck let that bastard in here anyway!?
“Alpha Rick.” I was grinding my teeth when he made his big smile wider. Yeah, I remembered his name, I was his prisoner and supposed mate just some months ago, and now here he was, standing in my land and having some girl that was too young and acting as if he had won. I didn’t even know what it was!?
“Who let you inside!? You know what, never mind….” I raised my hand, still covered in mustard, and started to drain him. Yes, I had learned it wasn't perfect since I last saw him, but I could see it now, the life force leaving him and his stupid smirking face!
“I wouldn’t do that if I was you, Luna….” He made a strained face when I was still draining him slowly, wanting to suck the life out of the monster keeping a girl half his age as his mate. She could be his granddaughter, for goddess’s sake!
“Oh, I would love to, Alpha, you have no idea….” He made a chough when I smirked, pushing even harder at the steady current that was rushing my body, and it felt so good that I wanted nothing more than to kill him right away!
“Luna, stop!” the girl made a link making me break the eye contact I had with the Alpha, that was on his knees now, making me growl from being pushed back. He deserved this for doing this to her, so why the hell was she stopping me!?
“He knows, please… he knows…. Stop….” She was begging me not to move a muscle, staring into the ground, letting the big man on the ground start to take deeper breaths and cursing a lot, coming up from his knees with the help of his mate. That still disgusted me when I was staring at the odd couple, yet this wasn’t that unusual. I had seen my fair share of Alphas and Betas with a taste for the younger ones…
“Seems like my mate can’t keep her mouth shut...” Alpha Rick was wheezing out his breath, coughing the same way the poor girl had been doing just a minute ago when he walked inside, serving him right.
I crossed my arms, wanting to know why she stopped me, don’t tell me she loved him or some stupid thing like that? She clearly wasn’t his mate. Nobody was.
“You look older….” He made a smirk hearing that, getting his full height back, and reminded me of Daniel when his eyes were pinning me down like I was supposed to be afraid! Well, I wasn’t! I could kill him, not even breaking a sweat, and he couldn’t do shit to me!
“That’s what happens when you have a witch around. She steals your life…” he made another smirk that made me feel hollow in a second. What the hell did he mean by that!? How did he know that I was a witch? I assumed he just was as clueless as Daniel, but no, he looked like he knew all my secrets, and it was scaring the crap out of me!
“If that is the case, Alpha, you know what I will do if you don’t leave this pack land right now!” I made a growl, blackness swirling again, I wasn’t a strong beast, but I couldn’t stand against her coming out, threatening my mates land and pack even if I didn’t care that much, he was not welcome here, and he knew that!
The girl sighed when the Alphas hand was on her back, pushing her against the door and linking something that wasn’t meant for me, but I could see it on her face. He would make sure she regretted warning me, whatever it was.
“You know, this pack doesn’t like you, even I know that, and If I wanted to, now that your mate is out, I could just take you, Alpha Daniel still killed my son, and it shouldn’t be more than fair that I got him, wouldn’t it?” my eyes dilate in horror hearing the dark voice of Alpha Rick, was he insane!? I would kill him even before he could touch me with those dirty hands. The whole of him was. He looked nothing like Daniel, just poor, just like his mate in the hallway now did, goddess.
That still made me want to kill him, but something in her voice stopped me. Against my better judgment, I didn’t take whatever he had inside of him, the bitter older man still looking at me like he was thinking about making his threat real.
“Try, and I will show you that I don’t need them to like me, Alpha, they are under my command, and you know what, same as me….” I couldn’t resist a smirk at the end at the older Alpha, who lost his own one. He knew I was right. One command and he would be dead, deep in my pack land, and only a weak mate to accompany him. What the hell was he thinking even coming here?! It was insane!
His eyes were pitch black, his beast trying to find a way to make it clear to kill me when his human side was trying to stop. I had seen Daniel long enough to know he was trying hard not to give it and take me out. Oh, that was what I was hoping for; it would make this day even better knowing I would get to take another Alpha bastard out.
“Fine, you say that asshole of a mate you have that this isn’t over, and when he is ready to see me, I will be waiting and that he still owes me blood for killing my son.” Alpha Rick shifted slightly to my belly, making me bare my teeth. No! he did not have my light. That would never happen, never!
“You killed too, Alpha. Remember that!” I was pointing to the door when he was trying to get out, and the girl outside the door immediately moved away and made herself smaller. Oh, dear goddess, I wanted this man dead more than anyone else now!
I followed them, walking down the corridor, ensuring nobody around was stopping them. I still didn’t understand how the guards had let them inside, I mean, sure, he was an Alpha and all that, but everyone here knew what had happened the last time, 22 beasts dead.
We were at the gates when I stopped, the pack watching unruly me like I was some exotic bird more than the Luna making me annoyed, frowning even more seeing the old Alpha Rick and his mate walk inside the car that had taken them there, arms crossed and staring at him, the old male that was staring back, with the young girl, head down and still making twitches when she moved, or when he did, old bastard.
“Remember what said Alison, you aren’t as safe as you like to believe...” the car rolled out when Alpha Rick linked the last part to my annoyance. Tell me again why I didn’t kill him!? He deserved it, whatever Daniel did, this man, well… maybe he wasn’t worse, but something was up, and I wanted to know before it was coming to bite me and my light.
I looked up, taking a few deep breaths, feeling everyone’s eyes on me. Since I never left the mansion, everyone was on edge, including me.
I made a scowl and snapped with my jaw, making people move, eyes pitch-black and moving slowly. I was still standing inside the gate. This was bad; he wanted blood and wasn’t even scared of me killing him. I needed Daniel back!
“Daniel, we have a real problem, and you better get back here now!" before turning my heel and walking back inside, having all the spitful eyes on me, burning when the mocking whispers started, like I couldn’t hear them when I closed my door, walking over to the window again and stroking my belly, this was my favorite place, being left alone, away from the pack.
