And I understand what she means about her pack. Thisisher pack, after all. Heck, I may have never heard of a female alpha, but I can’t deny that she is an alpha through and through. I hear the door shutting in the distance and glance out of the window, seeing Zidane striding away, shoving a random man to the ground.
Fucking psycho.
“We still need to have a plan,” I say out loud, my voice barely above a murmur. “He won’t let us leave easily, but I think we should try making quick work then, see who may side with us. Get them to come with us; I have a place we can go. Then we head back to Blood Moon, and plan things properly for a possible takeover.” She nods, looking into my eyes.
“But I don’t want to involve your pack though-” I growl, cutting her off.
“Ourpack, Red,” I correct, my eyes flashing dangerously. She sighs and nods.
“You know what I mean,” she says softly, “Our parents won’t be happy about this visit.”
“Not much they can do. Let’s give it till tomorrow night. I’ll contact the alpha we’re meant to be visiting. He’ll help. We just need some backup in case things get messy. I’ll ask him to have that ready for us. Once we’re out, we’ll work on a plan together,”I promise quietly. Her heart skips a beat before she smiles slightly, tiptoeing as she pulls me down and kisses my lips.
“Thanks,” she says. I squeeze her ass, pressing her against me and deepen the kiss. A small giggle brings us out of our moment, and we turn to the broken door where two pups around five years old stand staring at us. The girl is blushing as she looks at us, and the boy looks curious.
“What are you doing?” he asks, his eyes on my hands, still resting on Scarlett’s ass. She swats them away, trying to get out of my hold.
“Playing with my girl,” I reply, earning a frown from Scarlett, who’s still in my arms.
“By touching her bottom?” he asks curiously.
“Yeah it’s pretty fu-”
“What are you two kiddies doing here?” Scarlett interrupts, shooting a death glare at me while I’m smirking.
“Oh, we were hiding from the Alpha,” the girl whispers, fear clear in her eyes. I let go of Scarlett as she walks over to the girl and crouches down. “I’m scared of him.”
“He’s gone now,” she assures her, stroking her limp black hair. The child is lacking nutrients, and it’s clear despite the food in this place, not much of it comes to the omegas. “Come, let’s go find Candice,” Scarlett says gently.
I never realised how good she is with kids. I guess even if she didn’t mix with them, she knows how to understand their feelings. Why have I never noticed that before?
The children nod, taking her hands, and lead her from the room, and I follow. Taking my phone out of my pocket, I send a quick message to Rafael, hoping he agrees to help. I had saved his life once. He owes me. Perhaps he’ll repay the favour even though I’m asking for a fucking lot.
I follow the trio down the stairs, whistling when my eyes fall on Scarlett’s sexy ass. She rolls her eyes over her shoulder at me,despite the smirk that crosses her lips. I smirk back, licking my lips and she simply shakes her head, turning away, but at least I got her heart racing.
We enter the kitchen to see Candice working on a list.
“Candice! The pretty lady was looking for you, so we helped her to find you,” the boy says, grinning up at Scarlett. Candice looks over at us, a smile crossing her lips, when she sees me shirtless.
“I see you both talked things out,” she says, making Scarlett blush.
“We did a lot more than talk things out,” I smirk.
“Yes, I can clearly see that,” Candice says with a small chuckle as the two children run off again.
“Can we have a word with you alone?” Scarlett asks, looking at the women who are working around the kitchen where a few, who seem to be staring at me, are clearly distracted, although there’s a couple too scared to look in my direction.
Scarlett frowns, growling low in her throat, making the women who are staring freeze in terror.
Red…
I try, but her wolf has come forward, and it’s clear I’m not the only one who has staked their claim. Her Alpha aura rolls off of her, making everyone in the room pale at the strength of it, weighing down on them like a blanket.
“Easy, sweetheart,” I coax, pulling her into my arms. I like the fact she is possessive of me. It is fucking hot, but I can see the effect she is having on everyone.
I glance at Candice, her curiosity clear in her eyes. I don’t blame her. Scarlett just gave away that she is no ordinary woman.
It’s strange though and makes me certain there’s definitely more to this woman than she lets on. Unlike the omegas who are visibly trembling and cowering in fear, she isn’t. It is almost asif Scarlett doesn’t have much effect on her, which is strange; an omega is an omega after all, regardless of their job title.
