School was a boring chore his parents had made him take in. Their argument was that there was no way the Alpha of the Kane Blue Blood Pack would be illiterate. He did not care much for studying anyway. He was only going to school to push them off his tail.
Relaxing into his room after school, he had greeted Luna Laura on his way. She grudgingly replied, not that he cared for her acknowledgements. He needed to get in touch with Lej. He was finding himself more curious about the little Omega. something that could make him a laughing stock if he continued.
Teacher Adam had made no effort to hide the fact that he thought it odd that he met with her.
He had left his phone in his drawer. He paused, as a fresh wave of anger ran through him. He did not have the time to contact others or ask for help. That would make him vulnerable and easy to attack if others knew what was troubling him.
Flipping the phone open, his eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when he saw the text awaiting him. Mirian had texted him. The spoiled brat sister of Lej. All she needed was a good s******g. He wondered why he had not told Lej that, though he doubted Lej’s ability to perform such a task.
Since he had never done anyone a good deed in his life, he would start with this and try to help his friend out even though he had no idea who would help him out with his own problem.
"Glad to talk." He typed but soon cleared it off. He had no interest in a blushing female on his turf.
"Be good to Lej." He hit the send button. Nodding to himself, That was okay. It does not sound like he expected any reply from her.
He dropped the phone and got ready to sleep, glad for calm times from his wolf. The troublesome nature of his wolf had made his room a forbidden zone for the maids. He had taken it upon himself to do his own chores and laundry as Luna Laura had assigned him no way under the excuse of his killing them.
He wouldn't blame her; he had given her the opportunity to use him against him. Though he still yearned to find out why his wolf had hit the last maid so violently. He had been sitting quietly trying to complete his assignments when she entered the room, and it was all a blur. Her scent had made him tick.
Yea... That was it... Her scent had made him want to attack her.
He yearned for it.
The beeping sound on his phone made him snap up. He had forgotten all about his phone. Flipping the phone open, he saw it was a text from Mirian. That was fast. He would have to cut her off as soon as possible. He had no interest in dealing with a whiny woman. He had already told her what he wanted to pass across. What was the use of a prolonged chat?
Fully intending on discouraging her chats, Kane opened the message.
I will behave towards Lej as I choose; you are not my boss. If you want me to change to Lej, then you have to change towards the Omegas in your pack as well. I hear you mistreat them and kill them as you wish. It’s a truce, Alpha Kane. Your choice.
Nobody had ever dared to openly question his behaviour with Omegas. But he hated hypocritical women the most. Mirian was just a hypocrite and he planned on calling her out on it.
But he was intrigued that she had the guts to reply the way she had.
"Are you really sure about a truce? When did you become a spokesperson for the Omega’s in my pack, Mirian? Stop calling me out for a crime that we are both guilty of. You are a sinister and sick female who needs a good beating from Lej. I hate hypocrites the most. They are the worst. "
He dropped the phone, annoyed. She was such a hypocrite. Was she trying to wash her dirty image in front of him? When did she become an Omega pleaser? She was just disgusting.
The sound of someone knocking at his door made him snap up. A frightened servant stood at the door, his gaze fixed on his own footwear.
"What is it?" Kane tried asking gently. Since they all associate him with some kind of monster,
"Luna Laura demands your attention." The servant gobbled it up in a rush and left.
He wondered what his father’s wife wanted. She was no mother to him. They both knew that and stayed clear of the other.
Nevertheless, he humoured her and went downstairs to meet her. The sight that greeted him made him pause. His feet dragged a little. Just what was Luna Laura planning? He had no issue starting a fight, but not with his latest object of curiosity in the middle. He would not be caught in this crossfire.
Willing himself to remain calm, he walked closer to meet them. His face was haughtily nonchalant. He stood carefully in their midst.
Alpha Jake was the first to talk. "Cade was slow to report a matter to me, and you, the object of the issue, made no mention of it either. "I hear this wolf has gained your latest show of affection. "
"Then you heard wrong." Kane spat out, "There is no affection in our acquaintance," giving her a disdainful look. Under Alpha Jake, he could perpetuate his evil doings on Omega’s under his name and not under his name. He would not permit it.
"Oh really?" Alpha Jake asked, dragging Catharina forward by the shirt, the material tearing a little at the shoulder, showing her creamy skin. Their flawless glow melted the eyes of the all-male wolf present. They all knew a female Omega was seen more in a s****l light than anything else in the pack. And judging from Jake’s hand on Catharina’s arm, It would not take him long to claim the girl as his s*x maid as punishment.
"Jake let the girl go," Kane said dangerously, struggling to keep his voice low. His wolf sure felt protective of the Omega. It was really annoying. What piqued his interest in the female? There was no indication of her being his mate, not that he would take an Omega as his mate anyway. He couldn’t even smell her scent.
"Why do you have an interest?" Luna Laura teased, Kane was not surprised. This plot must have been planned by her. So it must be her priority to find his weakness, and she must be feeling elated that she is close to achieving her agenda.
"I do not have an interest. I just do not see the reason why you have to bring her in here. She did nothing wrong, "he stated flatly, shutting her up.
His father gave him a puzzled look. "Are you defending her?"
Kane looked at Catharina, who remained mute. She might as well have been an object. "I am not defending her. I am saying, if you want to discipline an Omega, do so under your name next time and not mine. You both have given me enough bad names in this pack just because I can't control my wolf. Well, that is changing. I can control my wolf now. " Kane railed angrily and began walking out on them.
"What about the issue of her wearing your scent?" Jake suddenly called slyly.
"What about it? "He did not turn, retorted Kane. He was not about to discuss his s****l pursuits with his slimy father.
"How did she come about it? No wolf is permitted to wear the scent of another wolf unless they are mated or in the process of being mated. She is neither mated to you nor in the process of being. So why does she wear it? Shouldn’t I ask her that? " Alpha Jake inquired, pleased with his son's monstrous reaction. One could see a very sore point having been touched. It might have taken decades, but at last, they finally got to Kane’s weak point, something he cared about. He was almost untouchable, uncontrollable, and very powerful.
Catharina gasped in pain as Alpha Jake’s hold on her wrist drew blood. His fingers gradually devolved into claws, sinking farther into her skin with each second it took Kane to open his big mouth to speak.
His handsome form was distorted. One could tell his control of his wolf was slipping as the seconds grew back. His flawless fingers could be seen shaping into the ugliest set of claws she had ever seen. She had no idea what his wolf would look like.
"Let her go, Jake." Kane watched as Catharina’s blood gradually seeped into the claws of his father. He growled low this time, the threat in his voice clear.
Alpha Jake smiled, releasing his hold on her. Catharina sank to the floor. "I am sure you know the Pack will never allow the mixing of an Omega with an Alpha Kane, so you have to come clean on what she is to you. Because we cannot have more Omega’s thinking they can seduce their way up the ladder. " "He said disdainfully.
Luna Laura stood up dutifully, "Since she is neither your mate nor maid, she would have to be punished for carrying your scent. There should be no repeat of this worthless act. I hereby banish her to the kitchen arena for two weeks, and she is not to go to school. That will give her plenty of time to stay away from people who are not in her social standing. " She signalled her maids, who came in and began dragging Catharina out of the room.
He stood still for a moment, then he was across the room. The next, Luna Laura stepped back as he collected Catharina from their hands roughly. "She is mine," he mouthed angrily, dragging her all the way to his room not too gently.
Alpha Jake and Luna Laura both looked at each other and smiled, both with different agenda's in mind. They had found how they could control Kane. Luna Laura had always wanted to return the insult he had given her when she entered as the new Luna. He was the only one who did not accord her any respect and never failed to remind her that she would never be like his dead mother.
Alpha Jake, on the other hand, was just plain tired of being afraid of his son. He wanted to be able to control him through some means, and he was glad he found one. His stressful days are over. But she was just an Omega. It would be better if it was a mate. He would have to talk to Lej about that. Lej was the only friend that Kane had. He would get Kane married to Mirian while he was still able to control him using the Omega. If he was mated to Mirian, his reign would be a lot smoother as Kane would be preoccupied with his mate and would not be able to worry about how his father ran the Pack.
Smiling to himself, he proceeded to write to Alpha Lej of the Moon Pack.
