Chapter 30 Chapter 30
~ KEEGAN ~
That explained it all. I wasn't going crazy or having any mental disorder, it was just one of the weird occurrences associated with being a werewolf. I chortled, glad I knew what the problem was now.
"Does that make you happy?" He asked with a lopsided smile.
"Yes, happy to know that I know what the issue is. The solution will be easy to achieve now."
"I'm glad I could be of help to the Alpha's confusion."
"No one must ever find out about our discussion tonight. If anyone does, I'll make you drown in a pool of wolfsbane potion." I threatened, narrowing my eyes at him.
"Whoa!" He lifted his hands in surrender. "No one would find out. It's between me and you, Alpha." The usual sternness and professionalism of his face returned.
"I'll head to bed now. You should also return to your mate, your pup needs you." I winked at him and his eyes brightened again.
"I'm so sorry for not letting you know there'll be a new pack member." He apologized.
"It's no problem." I locked my hands behind me and took my leave.

Though Alpha Keegan had forced me to head to his bedroom last night, I enjoyed sleeping on his couch way better than my room floor.
"Breakfast would be delayed. I need to head to the store to buy certain ingredients." I said to Alpha Keegan, avoiding his gaze as much as possible. From the inconvenience I felt, I could tell that he was staring at me and was probably scanning my body. His gaze made a warm feeling run over me that made my tummy feel like it was tied in a knot. "I'll-"
"Use the pack card and I'll assign a guard to escort you. When you arrive downstairs, a guard will be waiting for you."
"A guard? But I can go on my own-"
"No. You're not safe." He concluded, making it obvious that I had no say in this decision.
I took my leave, frowning that my life felt even more restricted. I enjoyed going to the store because that was the only chance I had to step out of the pack house and enjoy the beautiful view of the town alone, without anyone disturbing me or bossing me around. Yet, who was I to question any order? I was just a mere Omega.
After wearing a pair of slippers, I headed outside and was pulled back by someone.
"Hey." The familiar voice called.
I lifted my gaze to Casper, a smile graced my lips for the first time this morning at the sight of my angel in his regular black and red guard uniform. "Good morning."
"Alpha instructed me to escort you to the store. Do you need to grab anything else before we leave? And do you need a ride?"
"No, I don't need anything else." I was grinning from ear to ear like a preschooler after seeing her Mom at closing hour. "I also don't need a ride, I prefer to walk to the store."
"Okay, take the lead." He said in his usual serious tone.
We walked to the store in absolute silence. I wanted to start conversation and rain multiple thanks on him for the times he fed me at the prison. I wanted to appreciate him for his kindness and assure him that I was going to repay him, but I didn't know how to arrange my words and was too shy to speak to him. " Thank you." I mumbled underneath my breath.
After buying all I needed from the store in a total of three bags, Casper was gentlemanly enough to help me carry the bags. I thanked him for that and we started heading back to the pack house.
I never realized how poor my social status was until now. I was even too anxious to thank him? I (new I had to do it and if it wasn't now, I was going to seem like an ungrateful chicken. "Uh... Mr. Casper, I'd like to show my appreciation." I gulped and summoned courage to speak more, "I want to say thank you for your help; I could've been dead if you weren't so kind."
"It's no big deal. I thought you didn't deserve it and I couldn't stand it. I'm glad that bastard called Liam was punished. He deserves to be killed for being so useless and shameless."
"What punishment is he serving?"
"It hasn't been fully decided on, but I'll make sure the Alpha makes his decision regarding that monster sooner than later." He clenched his fists and jaw.
"Thank you once again. I was really scared that night and every time he hit me." Remembering the dread of being in the prison and his hurt made my pain sting even more and a shiver ran down my body.
"It's fine. Let's not discuss it any further if it affects you." His usually blank face was graced with a smile, enough to flick my attention to the fact that he was damn handsome. If the men in this pack smiled a lot more, I could've been swooning over all of them.
I returned his smile, glad he was an understanding person.
"Let me know a little bit more about you, if you don't mind."
"Of course, I don't mind. I'm Jane Williams, I'm 22, I'm an omega, obviously." We both chuckled. "I work as a slave without salary everyday of my life, my life and possessions are restriction to only a few things..."
"You have a cure name." He interrupted me like he only heard my first sentence. "I guess I didn't notice because everyone is used to calling you the omega or a mutt." He chortled, causing my cheeks to flush with heat. "And I'm also your age, okay maybe a year older." He shrugged one shoulder.
I chuckled, feeling bliss flush through my body system. "That's so cool."
We had basic chats and he seemed like a very great and sweet guy that was forced to act cold because of the pack he belonged to. We had to end our chat when we arrived at the pack.
"It was great spending time with you. You're a nice person." He smiled.
"Yes, you too."
"Till next time.." He handed the bags over to me." Maybe we can have coffee together sometime."
"Really? That sounds great."
"Cool. See you later." He waved at me and took his leave. With my grin still on, I walked to the pack house. Did that really just happen? Did I just make another friend in the pack house? That meant my punishments from pack members had reduced by one more person.
I made breakfast and served Alpha Keegan's meal, taking it to his bedroom. Was it supposed to be our bedroom now that I was also sleeping in here? Nah, that makes no sense. By the way, how long was I going to spend here?
The aura surrounding him kicked in when I stepped into the room, filling my body with the grief associated with him. Remembering that he was behind my general pain reawakened the anger I felt
towards him. "Good morning, Alpha." My tone expressed no hint of respect as I arranged his breakfast on the table. I wondered where this bravery came from. I was the girl that couldn't even look the Alpha in his eyes but now I was being rude to him without care. Did I really want myself dead?
He rose up and walked up to stand behind me; still, I pretended to not notice his presence.
"Omega, Crystal just confirmed that you hadn't gone back for treatment." His tone was calm again, he had been speaking very calmly lately which was very suspicious and also boosted my confidence to remain mad at him freely.
"There's no need to bother anyone, I'm fine."
"You'll be treated." He grabbed my shoulder and twirled me to give my face to him. "No Alpha. I'll run to my natural remedy."
"Are you disobeying me again?' He frowned.
"No Alpha, I can never do that." I said through gritted teeth. "I don't just think my wellness is important to anybody." I bowed my head in surrender, trying to conceal my anger but was failing terribly at it.
"You need help." He sounded calm again. "I don't need any help Alpha." "Just go to Crystal." He ran a hand over his face. "And give me a massage, I have a terrible headache." Hadn't he realized how much his presence irritated me? "I have other important things to do than attending to your desires. I'll take my leave now." I started walking away.
"Are you fucking stupid?" He barked and pulled me to his chest with force, causing the tray to fall from my hand, my heart automatically jerked into fear. "Have you lost your mind? What are you trying to achieve? Why do you want to piss me off intentionally?" His burning gaze on me made me tremble under his intimidating figure. "If I want you to be treated, then you can't say otherwise. If I want you to fulfill my desires, then you have no right to refuse me. I demand for you to stop acting angry around me and "
"I-I'm s-sorry Alpha, b-but I can't control my emotions towards you." I stuttered, almost out of breath. JANE, ARE YOU STUPID?
"Don't you realize you're my possession and have to do everything I ask you to do?" a familiar darkness flickered in his anger-filled eyes.
"I'm not "
"You fucking belong to me." His jaw clenched as his arm went around my waist to pull me closer to his chest and grabbed my hair. "Mine alone, my slave." His voice was husky and way deeper than normal. He had his gaze fixed on me with his jaw tightened that made me quiver in his tight embrace "L-let me go Alpha."
"Let you go?" he snickered, his amber eyes were now completely darkened, confirming that his wolf had taken full control. His hand ran over the exposed skin of my arm. "Never." The deepness in his voice brought a wave of coldness to my body. "Don't you feel anything?" he frowned, trailing his fingers along my face.
"Fe-feeling what?" I forced myself to speak. His dominance made my body start to vibrate with a strange pleasure.
"You'll feel it soon. I can't be the only one of us experiencing this craziness." His voice was very cold, making my breath quicken even more.
He lowered his head to my neck, his lips gently grazing my skin. I immediately felt cold and frozen, yet my palms were sweaty. He placed a soft kiss on my neck and I swear everything became upside down as my eyes rolled all the way backwards. I felt my crotch clench at his strange gesture as I shut my eyes, letting the pleasure from his simple action sink in. Something dropped on the floor, serving as a distraction. I glanced at the phone that had fallen then all the way up to Scarlett whose eyes were widened at us. At this point, I knew she was going to kill me.
