This Alpha Won’t Stop Chasing Me!

Chapter 4: Black Card

Chapter 4



It was early when Caramella left for work. The ruckus that Darius and she made in the bar made her boss scold her and kicked Darius out when they found him hiding behind the counter. She was also pretty distracted when she was working that whole night so her manager decided to let her go home early.

She sighed deeply after her shift was finished, stretching her arms as she walked out of the staff room on the back door of the bar. It’s usually empty on the back alleys during 3 a.m. but right now, there is a suspicious car parked at the end of the alley.

Caramella frowned, “Ugh, I just want to get back home to my Olie” she muttered, “I hope that black car isn’t trouble”

The alley has only one entrance, and it is exactly where that suspicious car is parked, blocking her way. It was so obvious that the person who parked there are either waiting for someone from the bar or they are just drunk and parked their car without seeing the alley entrance.

“Or they can be just an asshole who loves blocking people's way” she growled.

As much as she wanted to just run and jump over the car, she can’t let people know that she has superhuman abilities like the Lycans or Vampires.

In an even pace, she walked towards the car but slowed down when she realized what type of car it is.

‘A viper’

The car is a black viper. She only knew one person who would bring a viper to a place like this…

‘Crap, how did they find me already!?’ She screamed in her head before turning around with eyes wide open and heart beating faster than before.

Soon, she was running back towards the bar back entrance.

Fast figures moved on her sides, and two large wolves jumped to block the way she was going to. The larger wolf resembles a Siberian wolf from Russia, he has green eyes while the smaller wolf is reddish brown and has black eyes. They growled at her menacingly, glaring.

“Okay, you found me” Caramella raised her hands on her sides.

The larger wolf backed away for a moment and the smaller wolf came closer to her, still growling.

“I can’t understand you in that form, you know that right?”

The smaller wolf bared her fangs as if to sneer before turning around, and like a growing tree, she turned into her human form. The fur that was shed during the quick transformation disappeared, changing into long curly auburn hair and the black eyes of what seems to be a beast turned human.

Caramella stepped backwards, her heart racing even quicker.

Finally, the human form of the wolf is before her.

A taller woman than her stood in front of her, with long curly auburn hair that ended on her curvy waist. Her skin is beautifully tanned, shining under the moonlight and her black eyes gleamed dangerously adorned by long reddish eyelashes. She is sexy and pretty wearing a black spy outfit like Natasha Romanov in M*rvel.

“Auntie…long time no see” Caramella smiled forcefully, still slowly backing away, “I see your taste of cars hasn’t changed yet”

Her aunt, Deserie Felle, is one of the most feared hunters in their pack and clan despite being a dominant Omega. She is experienced, powerful and has the sharpest senses in the clan. If she wasn’t used as a tool to connect two clans together, they said that she might have been the Leader of the pack. Surpassing even her brother who is currently the Leader which is Caramella’s father.

“Carmilla” her aunt started, “War is brewing, you must come home”

Caramella frowned, “You know what my answer is going to be auntie. I’ve managed to run away from you before and I’ll do it again”

Deserie’s eyes became sharp, “Yes, you did manage to run away from me before…but that if before you had a son” she stretched her fingers and sharp claws came out of her nails.

“But now that you have little Olie, are you confident about running away?”

Caramella glared, releasing violent pheromones in the air, “I am and if I have to take you down to escape, I will do it” her icy blue eyes shone and instantly she jumped.

Deserie was confused for a second because of the pheromones but quickly realized that she’s been tricked by her niece. She looked up and saw Caramella’s retreating form, climbing the vents, balconies and windows to reach the rooftops.

“That child!” She exclaimed before snapping her finger, “Drive the viper back to her apartment, intercept her! I will chase her back!”

The larger wolf with green eyes nodded before running back towards the car, transforming back into human form. A light blonde tall and muscular Russian with a tired looking face.

Caramella managed to put a gap between them. Her claws that she used for climbing were still there when she grabbed the pepper spray she used on Darius.

‘Ah, just why are they trying to put me back in that pack when they already exiled me?! Ugh’ she thought angrily, leaning on the concrete railings as she waited for her aunt to climb up.

She can sense Deserie’s approaching wolf figure and waits patiently despite being very, very nervous.

‘I know Auntie Deserie wouldn’t kill me. But she’s very scary!!!’ She thought, before using both hands to wield the pepper spray.

“Now!” She exclaimed to herself and aimed the pepper spray upwards, exactly to where Deserie landed looking down on her with her wolf form.

She pushed the spray and the vile liquid came in contact with her aunt’s face.

Deserie whimpered, pawing at her face as she jumped on the rooftop, knocking some plants as she swayed here and there.

“I’m sorry, Auntie Deserie but give me some time! I have to steel myself before going back to that pack!” She exclaimed as she started running away full speed.

Deserie who couldn’t speak human language growled angrily and howled. She couldn't track her because her eyes and nose were blocked by that wicked spray and she was afraid to move because she might fall off the building or harm a human. So Deserie can only growl angrily and wait for the effects to wear off.

…

Caramella is exhausted after running from rooftops to rooftops in full speed to reach the building where her apartment is. When she reached the apartment rooftop, she changed back into her full human form, retracting her wolf powers and claws.

“I am never doing that again” she sighed, “I almost got spotted a few times”

She looked down and frowned at her now destroyed red heels that had holes where her claws should be. Groaning, she pulled them off and stuffed it in her bag. Caramella fixed her hair as she opened the door of the rooftop, entering the building bare footed.

“Thank god it's three in the morning” she sighed, running down the stairs to the fourth floor where her apartment is. After ignoring a few doors, she finally reached the door to her home next to the elevator.

After calming down her beating nervous heart and mustering her pheromones, she pulled out her keys and opened the door.

What greeted her was darkness.

She can see in the dark so it was easy for her to navigate the house. And what she did first is to start pulling out the emergency bags that she kept hidden in their spare bedroom. There, they have clothes, food for days if necessary, their papers and enough money if ever her bank account got denied once they were on the run. She never thought she’s going to use the emergency bags like this, but here she is hauling them to the living room.

‘I should check on Olie first, I don’t want to find him being held by a random Alpha again’ she thought, plopping down the bags on the couch before heading upstairs.

Caramella managed to notice how bad she smelled, probably from all the running and working with alcohol and surrounded by drunk men but for now, bath isn’t important.

‘I’ll shower before we run away’ she concluded, opening her son’s door.

It was dark inside, but she could clearly see two figures in the darkness…

“Gayle…you’re still here?” she whispered, tiptoeing towards the small male Beta who has long brown hair and hazel eyes.

“Oh hey. I thought you were home early since Oliver was smiling in his sleep. Seems like he can sense your pheromones even from a mile away” Gayle shrugged as he turned on the dim light of the night lamp.

“Aw” Caramella commented, looking down at Oliver who was sound asleep, hugging a large red teddy bear that he calls ‘Raspby’ which is short for Raspberry.

“Right, I will go home early then since you are here now. I still have some homework left to do” Gayle said, standing up abruptly, “Also, Oliver’s father came by again-”

Caramella blinked, “Oliver’s father?”

“You know, your mate. The Dominant Alpha, good looking guy? Darius”

“Gayle, next time don’t let anyone in the house okay”

“...Oh, so it's true that you two are not on good terms. I thought he just came back from working abroad or something”

Caramella was baffled by what the college student is telling her right now.

“What are you even talking about? Oliver’s father left me after I got…you know” she explained, she was about to continue but noticed that Oliver stirred in his sleep. Making her whisper even quieter.

“You know what, let’s talk in the living room”

Gayle followed her out of Oliver’s room and into the living room where they sat across each other. The Beta noticed the packed bags.

“Are you going on a vacation somewhere? Looks like you planned a while ago, wow” Gayle asked, poking at the large bags.

Caramella shook her head, “Technically, yes. We are going on a vacation-”

Gayle’s eyes lit up, “Really? Where? Cause let me tell you, I know a lot of vacation spots for families like yourselves you know. Like the pool resort in the south-”

Caramella sighed. Gayle is a good kid and a very patient one too, but he is way talkative for her. Not that its a bad thing, but sometimes it's inconvenient.

“Gayle, focus. Tell me what Darius said to persuade you from letting him in the house, let alone hold Oliver” she said in a serious tone, leaning forward.

“Ah, yes of course, sorry” Gayle fixed his glasses, “You see, when he came knocking on the door I was very afraid because well, he looks like a gangster. I thought that you have a debt or something but when I think about it, you are a very responsible adult so it might have been for a different reason-”

“Gayle, please focus” Caramella said in desperation before glancing at the clock hanging on the wall.

‘I arrived earlier than that Siberian Wolf Lycan, but I’m sure he’s either on his way here or he is waiting for us downstairs’ she thought, biting her lip, ‘Aunt Deserie is probably also on her way to apprehend me’

“He gave me documents saying that Oliver is his son too and that he has been looking for you and Oliver for a long time. Of course I was guarding Oliver at first but Oliver was actually the first one to cling to Sir Darius. He called him father the first time Oliver saw him! So I left them since I still have a thesis to write”

Caramella was actually shocked by that.

“H-How come…” she thought about it.

“Well, you know. Kids are sensitive to pheromones and just like animal instincts, they know who their parents are just by sensing them. It's actually my first time seeing one in action. Really bizarre and cool at the same time”

Gayle suddenly pulled out a black slick card with gray letterings and an elegant symbol on it.

“Also, Sir Darius dropped by a while ago. He told me to give you this card and give him a call if you ever need anything or if you want to talk. He looks really happy actually when he gave this card and a little desperate too. Maybe you should give him a chance?” Gayle handed the card to Caramella who accepted it reluctantly.

She squinted her eyes at the black business card with Darius’ name and number on it as well as his title.

‘I was just about to run away from my Aunt who god knows why she would want me back to that pack, telling me all this war and stuff. I don’t know if that war that she’s talking about is a lie or the truth but whatever it is, not involving Oliver with the pack is my priority. I will protect him from the dangers of being a Lycan…and this card…Darius’ timing is suspiciously perfect…’
