Chapter 5

Odessa walked into the pack house, which was strangely bigger on the outside than it was on the inside. It looked so beautiful.
And she wondered how they allowed this many people in the pack house.
“The ground floor is always very busy. Please follow me, my lady.”
George said, gesturing towards the large stairs, which were the only part those in the pack house weren't walking through.
“The pack house is open to just an amount of people. Most of them live in the pack house's spare apartments in the pack compound,” George explained as he led her up the next floor.
“This is the important nobles' floor.”
He said, turning to take her up the next flight of stairs leading to the next floor, which was the Delta's.
The visit then was that of the Beta before reaching the floor where he told her all Alpha duties took place.
“You won't see anyone on this floor unless ordered by the Alpha,” he explained before taking her up to the top floor.
And she was panting already.
“Well, we took the road so I would explain in detail to you, my lady. The elevator is always open to use.”
Odessa stared at him in disbelief.
He could always show her the floors later.
He had her walk that way up after hours in the car seated without doing any leg movements.
“This last floor is for you and Alpha Desmond alone. It has all the necessary facilities along with three rooms. The last one belongs to you and Alpha Desmond.”
“I have to share a room with him?” she asked in shock, and he nodded gently, making her stunned.
She expected them to have separate rooms and barely even interact with each other because of the character he was rumored to have.
“You didn't tell me you'll be returning today.”
A voice came from behind, making her turn to look at the speaker.
There stood a man, his hands jammed in his pockets and his gaze not leaving Odessa.
She could feel his aura in the room engulfing her like it would choke her to death anytime soon.
And there wasn't a single hint of expression on his face.
He looked at her deadly and expressionlessly.
There was an undeniable connection between both of them that she couldn't lay her hands on.
That was it.
Alpha Desmond.
George immediately bowed as he turned to look at him.
But Odessa didn't.
She just stared at him.
And he did the same, ignoring George's greeting.
“So you are the one they say is worthy of being my bride.”
He strode towards her, only stopping a few steps away from her.
“You don't look like it.”
“Are you the one who judges a book by its cover?”
She cut him off, which stunned him, and it stunned George, who was standing next to them also.
“You don't seem fit to be my Alpha either.”
“A very good thing to say from an omega hiding behind her father's Beta status. You stink of omega genes.”
He shot at her, walking past her before heading towards the room.
She wasn't really stunned by his remark.
She had prepared herself for his brutal words.
But it still did sting a little.
“The kitchen and every other thing you might need to prevent you from leaving the floor if you don't want to,” George explained, and she nodded.
“The maids already arranged your bags in the dressing room. Enjoy your stay here.”
Odessa walked back into the room where she saw Desmond standing in between, looking at the two beds in the room like he was inspecting something.
The two beds were joined together by a headboard and bedside tables.
“It's your side of the room. I don't want to see you here, and I don't want to talk to you either.”
“Wouldn't love it any other way,” she replied, walking towards the dressing room to change into more comfortable clothes.
“I think he's starting to see we aren't someone to mess around with. You're an omega and he's an Alpha. That doesn't mean he can bully you as he likes,” Aria said as she watched Odessa pull out all the pins, putting her hair in place.
“And I don't understand why you had to style your hair this stylishly because you want to come over to this boring pack.”
“It doesn't seem boring at all except for their Alpha. It barely rained back at home, and here we have rain almost every time. As he said, I think I love this pack more even though I haven't seen what it has to offer.”
Odessa said, tying her hair up in a loose bun.
“There's no need to see that when you have all you need here on the floor. It has been made easier,” Aria said with a small smile.
“Well, I still won't love staying here all day. I'll have to go down one day to at least make some friends.”
Odessa replied, and she started to arrange her bags in the free dressing room, which she could assume was hers only.
After thirty minutes of arranging the room, she finally stepped out of the room to see it was all empty.
Not like she was expecting him to stay in the room anyway.
She headed to her bed, sitting on it with a sigh before looking around the room, taking in the dark interior.
It looked like the only part of the room that had a little bit of life was her side.
His was plain and empty.
“How can someone be this plain and boring?” Aria whispered.
“He has to live up to his reputation of being the most ruthless Alpha. You don't expect someone like him to be fun, did you?” Odessa replied, leaning into her bed, looking up at the ceiling like she was expecting something to pop up.
She remembered Alpha Devon talking about giving him an heir.
How was she supposed to give him an heir if they both slept on separate beds?
And all she also needed was to get her group of trusted people together.
Of course, there would always be a group of people who were considered outcasts and were on the verge of going rogue that she'll recruit with her.
“Getting your men from another man's pack is risky. Really risky,” Aria pointed out, but she was very calm about it.
“I'm not going over to his Beta to ask him to betray Desmond. And besides, they aren't doing any harm to him unless he wants to be harmed by attacking first.”
Odessa replied.
Aria just shrugged gently before going back to slumber.
Odessa could hear the soft thunder from outside as the rain continued to pour down onto the earth.
She was pretty scared of lightning, but as long as the room wasn't out of lights, she could cope with it.
She knew she needed to face her fears now that she was in a pack with constant rain.
Odessa remained indoors till it was nighttime, and it was still raining outside.
She decided to go to the kitchen and prepare something to eat.
She didn't know if Desmond would also eat whatever she made.
But why else would he have a kitchen on his floor unless he didn't want anyone cooking for him?
She walked towards the kitchen, pushing the door open gently.
The whole room was dark, and she struggled to find the switch.
Suddenly, there was a loud boom accompanied by lightning outside.
In what seemed like the middle of the room, she saw dangerous red eyes flash.
