THE SASSY OMEGA

MISSION

Ophellia’s pov

After the reunion, we went back to our normal lives, even though I had a mate and a clingy one. I loved my computers more. The twins and I didn’t move in immediately because of the nature of our work, but our mates were already planning to build us houses close to the palace so that we could move out.

Rain stayed with us for the time being, since he had nowhere to go and we had a lot to catch up on. We were planning to go visit our grandfather to surprise him. He has been living like a rogue for over ten years. Secluded and away from civilization, everything reminded him of that day; his pack, his family and, most importantly, his mate. Even though we can’t give him back his mate, at least his family is back and whole.

I’ve been busy trying to start up a gaming company. I know that ELIA was recently launched but the twins will handle it. I just want to create games and play them obviously. While I was busy writing the codes, a phone call came through. “ Hello, I want to find someone, and I heard that you are the best of the best.” A creepy voice says after I pressed accept. I keep quiet and wait for all the information. Believe me, I want to answer this client, but I never talk to my clients. It’s too troublesome and boring.

I don’t judge, but some are just creepy and weirdos, especially the current client. “ Good, you are the real deal. I’m looking for the famous king Yarma. The current big name, not only in California but internationally, I want the latest known location and address. I hope you can find her in a week because it’s urgent.” He finished the call and sent the money immediately, half before and half after the work was complete.

I almost fell down from my seat, that was the weirdest job I’ve ever received. Even Zaya perked up and growled dangerously. How am I supposed to search for myself? I mean I am the freaking king Yarma! I was dazed for a while before getting back to my work, but first I had to know who was looking for me. After hacking my way through the caller’s phone and finding it was a dead end, I had to use the satellites to find him and I did.

After running his face everywhere, even through the database of the werewolf council, I found him under the rogues category. What made Zaya almost shift was the name of this client's father, the same man who betrayed my parents and our pack. I was alert and quite scared. Why is he looking for me? I am no fool, but I am a believer that the child of a snake is a snake. If such a dangerous person is looking for me, then what should I do?

This mission is too hard for me to handle alone. I have to involve everybody with combat abilities and brains because I don’t want to end up kidnapped or worse abused by such a psychotic man. I am not the curious type, I am the type that runs after seeing blood on the floor. I will never follow that bloody trail. This is not a horror movie for crying out loud, it’s my beautiful life, ah!

I sent the twins, my brother and my cute mate a text for an urgent meeting. In ten minutes, everyone was in the living room looking at me weirdly. I’ve been pacing back and forth wondering how I’m going to tell them. I should just tell them, then run and hide in the computer room, that will definitely avoid the questions and those two overprotective males. I just sighed then turned to them,” I got a mission to find the owner of ELIA.” I didn’t let them digest the news so I just added, “ It’s Xander the psycho’s son.” I turned and ran for my dear life.

When I reached my bedroom door, I heard two fierce growls. I didn’t wait and just locked my door from inside. I don’t mind staying inside, actually I love it, but with Xander looking for me, I just feel that I’m not safe anymore. It took me some time for me to calm down and make a plan. I think grandpa hides well. I will definitely stay with him and then announce my death?

I was brought out of my stupor by the loud banging on my door. I guess we all know who that may be. I huff and open the door with a pout and glare at my mate who is freaking out. “ I thought you went through the window!” I just roll my eyes at him and his antics, sometimes I wonder how he became the alpha king. Okay, maybe because he was the heir to the throne. Eh, I’m over thinking things again but I have this feeling that he will lock me in a tower and get the mighty dragon to protect me.

No! He can’t do that, dragons are far away sleeping under the Himalayas or something, or I just watched Shrek too much. Oh wait, is there a donkey shifter! My thoughts are broken by a fit of laughter, Rain is down on the floor rolling around and Dustin, much to my surprise, is not laughing but looking at me with fire in his eyes. “ You are being hunted down by a psychotic man and you are thinking of donkey shifters! Do you believe that I have this urge to open up your head and check if you are okay?”

Okay, I officially made the king mad. Nobody has ever thought of doing that. “ I am a badass woman with an ice element that can freeze up Cali and a big-ass powerful white wolf who, um…..who um.” By the way, what can she do? Dustin clears his throat to get out of my stupor. I looked at him in panic because I had just figured out that my wolf was just a big, white, fluffy teddy bear. She’s just good at sleeping around and being savage with her big mouth and a lot more sassy than before.

“ Why is my wolf so different, is she sick?” I looked worriedly at Dustin who was trying to hold in his laughter and my brother holding up his phone recording everything. My face turns red from embarrassment, I hit them on their heads fuming. “ You guys are just weird, right Pio!” Pio takes over from Dustin, “ Right my queen, you are always right. They have totally lost it.” With Pio on my side, I smirked at Dustin, turned towards Rain and sneered at him.

“Rain, get ready, we are going to see grandpa and Dustin. You will stay here and make sure that psycho doesn’t find out where I live. He has been looking for me for quite sometime and I don’t underestimate my enemies. I believe he knows where I live. Him sending that mission means he found me and just wants to make sure.” I say as I walk to my closet to pack up for a few days.

“ Where are the twins?” I asked. “They went back to the company to deal with any leaks about your whereabouts.” Dustin says while pacing around. “ Why are you pacing around? It’s not like it’s the end of the world and I’m just going to visit my grandpa for a while, then I will come back to you.” I said as I zipped the duffel bag and walked towards him carrying the bag and handed it to him. I wrapped my arms around his torso and hugged him tightly.

“ I will miss you so much, getting used to a mate is so troublesome. All these depressing feelings are driving me nuts.” I say as I bury my face in his chest and breathe in his scent of pine trees, he smells so nice. “ Don’t worry love, I will miss you too. I wish I could go with you, but after I attacked him last time, I feel so ashamed to even face him.” He says with a pout and I chuckle because he looks too cute.

We stayed like that for a while, hugging and relishing each others scent. After a while, we heard Rain calling from outside that he was ready. We let go of each other and he held my hand and the duffel bag on the other and walked me out. We can’t get intimate now, so it was just hugging and holding hands. For the first time, I felt like crying because I needed something more.

I entered the car in a hurry before I did something I would regret, waved goodbye and rolled up the window. I know he understands but it is hurting us both. After accepting each other as mates, the bond solidifies and it is hard to break. I never thought that I would be a prisoner to the mate bond. This stuff is too powerful, so even Zaya has to bow down to it and Pio looks like a lost puppy. Though Dustin looks tough and untouchable, I know he is struggling like I am.
