Chapter 2. My Father's Enemy.

Adrian

(1 day before the party)

"Just imagine it. Since we're in Seattle, we can celebrate your eighteenth birthday like never before, go to one of those super fun clubs, drink alcohol for the first time..." I suggested to my best friend Elijah, who is almost like a brother to me.

"I don't know, Adrian. Tomorrow is the celebration between the packs because of the recent peace. I don't know if it's a good idea," my best friend replied doubtfully.

"Oh, please, it's your birthday. How are we not going to celebrate it?"

"Are you sure we're doing this for me and not just for you?" Elijah asks me. "You love going to parties. I don't."

Caught red-handed, I smile guiltily and lean on my friend's shoulder, while he sighs, clearly fed up with me.

"Either way, your father isn't going to allow it," Elijah refused seriously.

"Let me talk to Dad."

Something that others do not know is that my father, the serious and reserved Alpha Harry Oakheart, adores me because I am his youngest son. While my dad shows his strict side to my older brothers, I am his sweet and beloved pup. He never denies me anything. So after only a few requests and some emotional manipulation involving my late mother, Dad ended up agreeing to the idea of celebrating Elijah's birthday.

I chose a very expensive club, one of those that always appear on social media, with flashy drinks and lots of colors, quite fashionable in the city. A group of omegas from different packs under my father's protection went together, all close to Elijah, ready to celebrate his eighteenth birthday in style.

"For Elijah! Who has finally reached adulthood!" I cheered, raising my drink into the air.

"For Elijah!" everyone replied in the same enthusiastic way.

My best friend, who was very shy and reserved, only smiled and looked at everyone timidly behind his pretty black-framed glasses. I could tell Elijah was not very happy, so after making a toast in his honor, I decided to take him to the dance floor to have some fun.

"No, Adrian, seriously, I'm embarrassed..." Elijah complained, walking behind me shyly.

"Come on, you'll have fun, I promise," I assured him without stopping dragging him along.

Timidly, Elijah joins me on the dance floor, while the rest of our friends stay behind drinking the cocktails we ordered. Elijah has never come to a place like this, so he moves shyly beside me to the rhythm of the music, while I, feeling much more experienced in all this party business, begin dancing sexily next to my best friend.

"What are you doing?" Elijah asks in surprise as I take him by the waist to pull him closer to me, beginning to move my hips to tempt the alphas around us.

"Don't you want to get a handsome alpha as a birthday present?"

"May I remind you that you're engaged? You have an official partner in your pack."

"My father chose someone for me. That doesn't mean I'm going to obey him, right?"

Ignoring Elijah's words, I continue dancing sexily around him, tempting all the alphas near us. My efforts finally pay off when two very handsome-looking alphas fall into our trap and approach us to dance, which makes sense, since Elijah and I are two beautiful omegas. Someone was definitely going to notice us.

"It looks like I've found something very delicious here," one of those alphas said, approaching me and taking hold of my hips.

"Do I look delicious to you?" I reply provocatively. "Why don't you have a taste?"

Exposing my neck, I release some of my pheromones for that alpha, who wastes no time and moves toward my neck to leave a gentle bite that makes me moan. This guy is really handsome...

With his messy light brown hair and pale blue eyes, this alpha is a delight. So with confidence, I wrap my arms around his neck, pressing my body against his as much as possible while continuing to sway my hips from side to side to the rhythm of the music, feeling his hard erection against my pelvis.

"Were you wearing this to tempt the alphas around you, sweetheart?" the alpha asks, his voice hoarse with arousal as he lowers his hands to my ass, which is covered by an extremely thin pair of shorts.

"Of course not. I'm a good omega. How could I do something like that?"

"You're a very good boy, that's for sure. Do you want a reward?"

Before I can answer, I feel both of his hands slipping between my thighs, pressing against my entrance with his fingers, which begins to grow wet for him. Unable to hide a moan, I gently pull on his brown hair, rising onto my tiptoes in an attempt to kiss him.

That was when he appeared...

"What the hell are you doing, Shawn?" his masculine and authoritative voice interrupted us, making the alpha who had been groping me jump away from me.

"Brother Silas, I was only..." the handsome guy looks frightened, shrinking like a coward in front of me.

"What is wrong with your head? Touching an omega in such an indecent way when he's nothing more than a pup. Are you out of your mind?"

"Brother, it's not what you think..."

I stop paying attention to that awkward conversation, looking for the first time at the man I now recognize as Silas Sterling, although at that moment I had no idea who he was.

The first thing I noticed was his jaw, so straight and strong it looked like it could cut you if you touched it. Then I looked into his gray eyes, as cold as steel. Such an attractive and powerful man that his mere presence commanded respect.

I am not lying when I say I felt a shiver of desire. Silas is the most handsome and irresistible man I have ever seen in my life. Even though he is over thirty years old, I wanted him from the very first moment I laid eyes on him.

"Control yourself. I won't repeat it again," Silas threatened, looking at the two alphas who had dared to approach.

Looking very frightened, both men quickly left the dance floor, while Silas silently looked me up and down. I am not sure whether he desired me as much as I desired him from the moment I saw him. I only know that we both felt a connection stronger than words, something indescribable.

"Adrian, that's enough," a frightened Elijah approaches me and takes me by the arm. "Let's go back to the others."

Looking away with apparent disinterest, the handsome alpha with dark hair and gray eyes walked away from the dance floor toward the club's VIP area, leaving me stunned by his beauty.

"Adrian? What's wrong?"

"Elijah, I think I found a cock I want to jump on," I reply honestly. "I'm in love."
