THE SASSY OMEGA

CHAPTER 5: ALPHA KING'S WRATH

Third person’s pov

Dustin has been having a temper ever since the night he dropped off Ophellia.

Pio has been force shifting most of the time and going on a rampage. The distance his mate is creating between them is affecting him too. Especially when Zaya blocks out his mind links.

Leo, the former alpha king, and Dustin’s dad had to take down his son thrice this past week and he was not happy about it, hence the meeting that was being held now and Dustin was almost shifting.

“ What is happening to you, Dustin, losing control of your own wolf and going on a rampage even though you are not hurting the pack wolves, but you ended up hurting old Carl. He has been a rogue for a very long time and has been so good to us. How dare you hurt your own godfather, you dimwit!” Leo shouted in anger, his wolf showing his dominance and being very protective of the old guy. Pio was whimpering because of the hurt Zaya was putting him through, so he burst through the link and came forward without shifting, “ My mate has been ignoring me and blocking out my mind links. The distance between us is driving me insane.”

Everybody but Malik gasped after this revelation, “ How long has it been dude?” Malik asked, concerned for his best friend. Pio looked at his friend and sighed, ” three weeks now.” Another round of gasps was heard. “I thought you were bluffing! Who is your mate!” Laura, the former queen, and Dustin’s mother asked with a trace of malice in her voice.

“ The famous king Yarma of the business world is his mate, aunt Laura,” Ronny said with a resigned look and everybody went silent, the hairs behind Laura’s neck stood on alert and her wolf was whimpering due to fear.

They all know how scary the person that holds that title is and to imagine that she is their future Luna and Queen all shivered except Dustin and Pio, who were wearing a smug look. “ Now that you know my predicament, any suggestion on how I will get my mate’s attention because so far nothing has been working for me.” Everybody shrugged, knowing they couldn’t help him anyway. His mother just smiled at him and gave him a thumbs-up, followed by the rest.

Dustin just scoffed and left the room. Pio took over and he jumped through the window and went for a run. He ran in the direction of his favorite place. When he arrived, he saw someone he hadn’t seen for a long time and their heart skipped a beat, then it started beating abnormally.

Ophellia was busy resting her mind after three weeks of working and hunting down criminals. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep near the lake. Pio couldn’t help it so he went close to her and lay beside her to block her from the breeze and cold. He felt so accomplished that he sighed deeply. After a while, his eyes drooped and they fell asleep.

Ophellia woke up suddenly. She was wondering why her pillow was so soft and fluffy. After she opened her eyes, she was greeted with black shiny fur and she relaxed because she recognized this wolf and she had been thinking of giving him a chance, for obvious reasons like she couldn’t stay far away from her own mate and her wolf was hurting but too damn hard-headed to admit it. She poked Pio in his big head and started giggling because the black wolf was swatting away whatever poked it with his tongue and this was making Lia roll with laughter.

Pio woke to a laughing Ophellia, her voice was so mellow to his ears and he loved it. He wanted this, the smile on her face was so refreshing and heartwarming. Pio let out a purr and gave control back to Dustin, they shifted and went to put on some shorts. They headed back to where Ophellia was.

Unfortunately, she started running towards the pack borders. She had a keen sense of smell and she could smell the foul smell of rogues. They were coming this way and she had to protect Dustin and his pack. These were the natural instincts of a luna, but she dismissed that thought the moment it popped into her head.

Chasing after her for some distance, when he sensed the number of rogues coming towards his mate, he almost lost it and Pio took the reigns from Dustin. His speed and body size increased. The crown on his chest burned bright like it was on fire, this wolf was livid. Ophellia could feel the fast-approaching wolf with the amount of heat that he was emitting. She almost toppled over. Zaya was busy shouting at Pio through their link telling him to stop because she had a plan and she smelled a familiar scent that was lost in one of her childhood memories.

Suddenly, Pio came to a halt and shifted back to his human form. He turned to look at Lia, who had a dark grin on her face with three face masks in one hand and the other held their latest deadly weapon, yes the one that was showcased during the grand opening. "Put this on and watch what my favorite toy can do.” She gave Dustin one of the face masks and they waited for the rogues to cross the border.

A man was being chased and when he crossed the border and saw Lia, he frowned, but the next moment he was grabbed by Lia and given the face mask as the rogues crossed over with angry looks on their faces. They all surrounded the three idiots. You can’t blame them. They really looked like idiots in those face masks and before they could register what was happening they started falling down one by one, whimpering from the pain. The rogue in charge saw this and started to panic about what was happening. So he turned and chose to run, but he didn’t go far, he was forced to shift back into his human form and the pain began.

It was torture for wolves. Their organs burned to ashes, then healed, then burned again and the cycle continued. After thirty minutes, the air cleared and the three people removed their face masks. Two of them were shocked beyond imagination while the inventor of this device was smiling silly. She was even skipping around watching as the weaker rogues give up and die because of the pain.

Dustin watched his weird mate skip around while giggling and cheering when a rogue screamed in pain. He just shook his head and turned towards the white-haired man who was also looking at Lia with a lot of emotions plastered on his face. A growl woke this white-haired guy from his stupor and turned to look at Dustin with confusion, then realization. “ Your highness, I’m sorry I ran into your territory but that was the only way to save myself.” He said as he bowed down.

“It’s okay, why are you staring at my mate and why do you look exactly like her?” Dustin asked. When Lia heard that, she turned and looked at the said man and a rush of memories flashed before her. “ Rain? “ She called out, not sure if she remembered correctly, but that man looked just like her twin brother. The said man nodded his head and said, “ Yes little Lia, it’s me.” The twins were both in tears, they couldn’t believe that the person they thought was dead was alive. Yes, these twins both thought that the other died that day.

Dustin was lost in thought. What was happening, this question was running through his mind like crazy.

They are twins? How is that even possible? One is an omega while the other is an alpha.

“ My king, are you alright?” Ronny came running towards Dustin. “Yes, I’m alright thanks to my mate.” He said, turning to look at Lia, who was in tears and hugging her twin brother.

The dead rogues were gathered and burned while the survivors were taken to the underground cells for questioning.

Rain and Lia were invited to the palace to catch up and as they passed the people along the way gasped and murmurs were heard. Never in a million years would they have thought that the famous king Yarma would visit their pack. They never knew she was a werewolf-like them.

Dustin's mind linked Malik to call his mates to the palace in case Lia needed a shoulder to lean on.

Meanwhile, Rain was talking to Lia through their twin link. After they reached the palace, Dustin showed them to his study to catch up and excused himself. He went straight to the underground cells to get some information.

When he reached the cell gates, he met up with Ronny and they went in together. “ Have they talked yet?” Dustin asks with anger in his voice. “ No, they are not talking at all,” Ronny sighs. “ Good, let’s make them talk. Nobody messes with my mate.” Dustin says, sending chills down Ronny’s spine and all the guards standing along the corridor.

They reached one of the dark cells holding the rogue leader who was hanging upside down with chains suspending him. The pain still burning through his organs, he screamed like a little girl who saw a ghost. “ Please, I will talk. Just make it stop, I…it’s….it’s too much. No more please.” He pleads. Dustin snickers,” start talking, then maybe I will tell my mate to give you the antidote.”

“ We were ordered to capture the last white wolf.” The rogue says.

“ Who gave the order and how did you find him!” Dustin asks with a stern voice, anger boiling in his blood.

“ Xavier, the self-appointed rogue king. Do you know how much we rogues are suffering from his reign? No, you don’t or you just don’t care about us rogues anymore, your highness. The number of letters we’ve sent you to help us eliminate him because he is not our match, he is too powerful.”

“Why does he need the white wolf?” Dustin asked, almost losing it because his own mate was also a white wolf. “ White wolves are blessed and can conceive with any other creature or humans and have children. They are not like us, who only require our mates. He plans to create an army of white wolf hybrids. We were to catch that man to save our families who are locked up and being tortured every day by that bastard!” The rogue says with tears in his eyes.

“He dares to hurt my people and now my mate is in trouble,” Dustin thought. The room turned cold and the pressure he was emitting was enough to bring Ronny to his knees. The loud thud brought Dustin out of his murderous thoughts and he rushed to help his gamma. “ Release him, let him go back and report to that crazy man and give him the antidote too, I think it’s time for Pio to play.” Dustin leaves the cells laughing eerily, sending chills down the spines of everyone in there.

( I will light a candle for poor Xavier)

A little secret from the author, the antidote to Lia’s poison is mountain ash. The best way to treat a greater poison is to use another greater poison. It’s like they just lose their toxins when they are mixed together.
