Alpha's Revenge
The door opened and Fredrick held out his hand for me to take and I did as he helped me out of the car. The palace doors opened and three men walked out. Two were flanking him and I could tell they were warriors, but the one in the front was of very high ranking based off of the power radiating from him. Instinctively, I bared my neck to him and he stopped walking and looked between me and Fredrick. I noticed that they were both looking at me confused and I blushed.
“I’m an Omega, and his aura is making me submit.” I say quietly to Fredrick. He nods and looks back at the man and says something but I’m not paying much attention and my heart is beating so loud that I couldn’t hear them anyway. The man gives an apologetic smile and I can feel his aura retreating.
“I’m sorry about that, sometimes I forget that I’m projecting my aura. Let me introduce myself. My name is Dylan and I am the best friend and Royal Beta. Who are you and what can we do for you both?” He asks politely.
“My name is Ally and I’m an Omega from the Silver Crescent pack.” I say to him.
“And my name is Fredrick, and I'm a member of the Red Dawn pack, but formerly the Gamma of the Silver Crescent pack. We’ve come to hopefully have an audience with the King about a very urgent matter.” says Fredrick.
“Hmm, well the King is kind of busy today, but perhaps you both should come to my office and tell me what’s going on, and if it is indeed as urgent as you say then the King will be notified. Get your things and come inside. Someone will take your car to the garage and we’ll provide you both with rooms.” He says before turning to leave.
“Well, you see, we didn’t think that you’d be meeting with us today so we got a room at a hotel in town.” I say and surprise even myself.
“Well, then you can just use the rooms to relax in case the King does hear from you today. Follow me to my office and we’ll talk.”
He turns again and Fredrick puts a hand on the small of my back as we begin to follow the three men back into the palace. We entered the foyer and the place is beautiful and huge. Surprisingly, it isn’t cluttered with a bunch of stuff, but very elegantly decorated in gold and white with marble flooring. I feel like my mere presence is bringing down the value of this place. There are pictures of the former king and queens down the long corridor leading to Beta Dylan’s office. “I’d love to explore this place. The art work alone is amazing.” I say to myself, or so I thought. I hear a light chuckle and look to see that Beta Dylan is looking at me with a small on his face and I blush for the second time.
“I’ll arrange for the both of you to have a tour when we’re done talking if you’d like Ally. The paintings in the library are my favorite.” he says.
“You have a library here!” I practically shout with excitement before realizing what I did and cover my mouth. He laughs loudly this time and the warrior beside him chuckle. I feel myself lean into Fredrick a bit.
“Ally, calm down. I told you they aren’t going to hurt you especially not for being excited about the library. Remember what I told you about telling the truth?” I shake my head yes and he continues. “Well, you were just being honest. I’m sorry Beta Dylan. Her reaction isn’t her fault. If I’m honest, I believe this has a lot to do with what we’re going to talk to you about today. You’ll understand once we get in your office.” A serious look comes over the Beta’s face and he nods as if he understands.
A few more doors are passed and we’re standing in front of two oak doors with a name plate that says Beta’s Office on the front. Down the hall in the center are two extremely large doors and I know without looking at the plaque on that door that it’s the Kings office. We enter the office and the warriors stand outside of the doors as the Beta rounds his desk and sits in his chair, gesturing for us to take the seats in front. The office is a normal office with pictures on the wall and on his desk. There are bookshelves, a sofa on the other end of the room, a mini bar, and two more wing backed mahogany chairs. All of the furniture is mahogany and the desk is made of solid wood as are the bookshelves.
Once we’re seated, he folds his hands in front of him on his desk and asks us if we would like anything to drink and Fredrick asks for a bottled water, but when he is handed the bottle, he then passes it to me. How did he know I was thirst? I dismiss the thought so that I can pay attention to what is going on right now. This is important and we need him to be convinced or else the King will not be convinced.
