Caught Between Badboy Alphas

Chapter 6

|| OKSANA'S POV ||

The question slipped out of my tongue faster than I expected. One of Dimitri's hands was resting on my bare thigh. His touch left me itching. Something inside me was poking to come out but I wasn't sure of that. Staring at his face, all I could imagine was kissing those luscious lips. He looked sinfully handsome today. His bald head was glistening under the dim light, coming from the pack house. His tattoo adorned arms were feeling soft against my skin. His s****l aura was hard to ignore. However, the question was still lingering in my mind.

Apart from higher rank werewolves, it wasn't common to possess a healing ability. In fact, it required more power to use one's healing ability on someone.

How did he get so much power after being an average beta?

Dimitri paused for a second. Withdrawing his hand from my thigh, he replied calmly,

" I am your beta, my Luna. It is my duty to serve you. I have received this power from my mother who was Alpha's daughter."

His words made sense but I never heard of his power before. It looked like he was using it for the first time. Suddenly I was curious about his family. No one ever talked about his family or gossiped at least. I opened my lips to ask him but my son made a groaning noise. He seemed like he was uncomfortable in this position.

Dimitri held him up carefully, his eyes turning concerned. Hanging Raemon on his left arms, he whispered to me, afraid of waking up Raemon,

" Come into the house, Luna. We have many outsiders today. It isn't safe for you to stay outside at this hour."

For the first time, I felt secure around him. Nodding my head reluctantly, we made our way back into the pack house. The pack house was empty at the moment. Everyone was busy outside, partying. Most of them would be returning the next morning. They liked to race in the woods after getting drunk and muddle-headed.

Dimitri left without another word. As soon as he was gone, I felt empty. I couldn't understand why I felt comfortable around him. However,I quickly brushed those thoughts away. It was sin and I couldn't possibly be drawn to a different man when I had my fated mate. But each time, we came close, I recalled the moment of kissing between us. I felt my cheeks turning warm in that realization.

I brought Raemon back to his room, next to ours. He was asleep peacefully. Kissing his forehead, I came out of his room to spot Kendrick and Zendaya together. Kendrick was leaning onto Zendaya, his lips kissing her cheeks occasionally. Zendaya was muttering something to his ears. In her words, Kendrick's face turned cold and rigid.

They stopped right after seeing me at the gate. Zendaya left, not before giving me a smirk. I wondered about the reason behind her cocky smile. She appeared up to something. As expected, Kendrick dashed towards me, grabbing me fiercely by my hair. Without a word, he threw me inside the room. I hit the cement floor once again to let out a growl.

Kendrick was drunk, barely standing on his feet. He smashed his feet on my feet, immediately shooting through my body. His growling voice echoed incoherently inside the room,

" You.. bitch..You are the reason behind his weakness..Raemon turned into a coward.. because of you ..You bitch.."

I couldn't believe that he was putting the blame on me ridiculously. Zendaya must be the one who poured these thoughts inside his head. I tried to explain, the pain was slowly running through my body,

" That... ah... Kendrick.. Listen to me.. Raemon is still a child..why don't you...aaah..."

He pressed on my both feet this time, almost breaking my bones. My little strength was no match against his Alpha strength. I cried and cried harder, begging him to let. As he raised his hands again to slap me on my face, something knocked him down from behind. Kendrick let out a growl before laying flat on the ground. My eyes went wide in shock to see Dimitri standing right behind him. He just.. knocked down his Alpha.

Rage contoured his face but after meeting my eyes, Dimitri explained calmly as if he had done nothing wrong,

" Sorry, Luna. He wasn't in his mind. It was better idea to knock him down."

I stayed frozen in my position. He just dragged Kendrick up to the bed before leaving the room silently.

Why did I feel that he saved me today?

" What are you guys doing here?"

I was dumbstruck to see my foster parents early in the morning. The pack house came back to its regular duties. Kendrick was still sleeping in his room. He drank too much last night. After Dimitri handled him well, he kept sleeping like a pig.

My foster mother, Helena stood up with a smile. They were enjoying the tea, made by our maids. They only came here when they needed something for me. No matter how many times I told them that I had no power here, they continued pushing me. My foster father was the living example of a statue. He followed blindly whatever my foster mother said.

Helena pulled me into a hug, her fake smile making me cringe. She said with a sweet smile,

" My dear daughter, we have missed you so much. You don't visit us anymore. I am sad about that."

I swallowed the words in my mind. After mating with Kendrick, I paid them an unexpected visit. My foster sisters literally chased me away, telling me that I was an outsider to their house. I blurted, going straight to the point,

" What did you come for, mother? I don't have money anymore."

Her smile faded a little but she continued, touching my shoulders lovingly,

" Aww! We are so clingy for money, darling. It's just...we came to invite you and the Alpha. Your sister's marriage is going to be fixed tomorrow. Her suitor is an Alpha. Although his pack is still very small, he is an Alpha though."

I replied without a second thought, freeing my arms from her,

" Not possible. Kendrick will never join. Drop the idea and I wish my sister well."

I turned to leave but she squeezed my arms together, saying in a demanding voice,

" You ungrateful brat! We are inviting you so that your sister's value gets raised in front of her in-laws. How can you refuse me? Let me tell you, Oksana. If you don't come, I will tell your dear mate how you kissed a guy when you were in high school. Then a good beating will remind you to stay grateful to your foster parents, humph."

She finished with a cruel smile. I felt disgusted by her threats. It was true that I would be beaten again if she told Kendrick about the incident. Leaving with no choice, I muttered lowly, holding my tears back,

" I..I can try..."

Helena immediately revealed a satisfied smile. She grabbed her bag and said before leaving with my foster father who didn't say a word to me,

" Lovely! Remember your words, darling. We will be going now."

Right after they left, Kendrick made his way downstairs. He was sober now and was rubbing his forehead. I got the chance to ask him nervously,

" Alpha! My parents came. They invited us to my sister's engagement tomorrow. Would you like to attend?"

Kendrick passed me a blank glare. Grabbing his espresso, he replied with a mocking smile,

" You mean , your foster parents? I don't attend such a low class party. Take Dimitri with you. I have no interest in those bullshit."
