Marked By The Enemy: The Alpha Is Mine

CHAPTER FIVE: THREADS OF BETRAYAL

NYRA

“This is the training ground, the building right behind it is the heat camp” Luke said, pointing towards the building. I nodded, impressed. This pack didn't regard Omegas as an after thought and there was no segregation between each designation either. “That is all, you can return back to your room if you wish to rest” Luke said before he left.

I was about to return to my room when a voice stopped me “I don't know what you did to him, but you better leave” a man said, his tone lined by anger. “I don't know what you are talking about ” I walked towards the pack house. I didn't want to cause any unnecessary drama. “You liar! Of course you know who I am talking about” he said grabbing my arm. “Let me go” I said calmly.

“Do you have no shame?! How could you follow a mated Alpha back to his pack!” His voice loud and angry. “Why can't I? Remove your hand or I would break it” I gritted out. He scoffs, tightening his hold on my arm. I held his arm, twisting it backwards. He groaned out, snatching his hand away from my grip. “I didn't want to do that, but you just wouldn't leave me alone” I said, walking away.

Just then, a sharp slap landed on my cheek. “How dare you treat the Alpha’s right hand man like that?!” The woman who had just slapped me barked out. I touched my cheek gingerly, trying to detect just how much damage was done. “He deserves it” I said, pushing past the woman. If it wasn't that my life literally hung on the result of this mission, I knew what I could have done to both of them.

“And just where do you think you are going to? Take her into the holding cell at once!” The woman gestured to the people standing behind her. “B-but she came with the Alpha earlier today,Miss Courtney” one of them said. “Are you questioning my order?” She raised a blonde eyebrow at the man.

“No-no” He answered, coming forward with two other guys. I let out a sigh, this was the kind of drama I wanted to avoid. Just before anything could happen Alpha Caelan appeared “What is going on here?” He asked, eyebrows thrown into a frown. “This Omega broke Beta Darian's arm! Not only that, she had the audacity to disrespect me!” She shrieks, her thin voice grating on my ear. Alpha Caelan turned to me, his gaze questioning.

“He came accusing me of doing something to you, he grabbed me. I broke his arm, she slapped in retaliation and ordered her men to throw me into the holding cell” It was a bit disturbing that I could interpret the look he had shot at me. “Take Darian to the clinic” Alpha Caelan said, not looking away from me. I held his gaze, defiant. I had done nothing wrong. “Courtney, I would appreciate it if you stop trying to run the pack house for me. Nyra, let's go” he said, leaving Courtney gaping.

“You should try to control yourself, you are new. You would definitely earn a target on your back at this rate” he said scowling. I scoffed in disbelief “Are you threatening me? YOU were the one who asked me to tag along!” He stopped all of a sudden, facing me. “What?” I eyed him. “Nothing, you should help out with border checks this night. You seem to have experience with combat” He said, jaw ticking. “Okay” I said, as he left. I wonder what I did to make him angry.

“There are three borders we watch routinely; the north, south and east. We don't watch the west because we share it with our ally, the Dominican pack” The security head said. I was surprised when I was told he was the security head. He is shorter than I am and is an Omega. Despite the shitty people I have met here, the pack keeps surprising me. “Remember to move in pairs, you would be given a stun gun each” The stun gun that was handed to me felt light. Nice, even though I would have preferred the real thing.

“Hi, I am Freya” my pair partner says, her hands trembling slightly. “Nyra” I replied shortly. “Oh, I have heard about” She said, harmlessly. I could have interpreted that in a million ways. “I didn't mean it like that!” She sputtered out, as the realization of how what she said sounded dawn on her. “It's okay, let's go” I said, walking forward. She stumbled as she followed me, her hands gripping the flash light in a choke hold.

“So, what do you do before you came to our pack?” I let out a silent groan. The nervous ones are always the talkatives. “This and that” I answered vaguely. Just then, a rustling nearby had us both pausing. “Did you hear that?” Freya asked, eyes bouncing side to side. “Most likely an animal” I reassured her. As we turned to move a figure shot forward, wrapping a piece of fabric around Freya’s face. I moved to attack when I saw the sigil on the fabric. It was one of the soldiers from Midnight Fang pack.

“What the hell do you think you are doing?” I signed to him. He removed his mask, signing back to me “Alpha Varek sends his congratulations on succeeding with the first phase of your mission. I would be your handler, my name is Lionel” while I had lived in Midnight Fang pack for most of my life, I didn't know everyone in the pack.

“You could have sent a message! This is really risky for both of us!” I exclaimed, my hands moving furiously. “You are to check in with me here once in a week” he signed, ignoring what I had just said. Then just like that, he vanished into the darkness. As I tried waking Freya up, I wonder if I would be able to complete this mission.
