Chapter 3 – She is Lying!

Bernice’s POV

“I will ask again, are you going to disobey my orders?”

He seemed so confident that he knew my identity. All my work to disguise myself as an Alpha on his level would be ruined if he knew the truth. Even as confident as he sounded, I hoped that it was just because he was lustful and blissful after what we had just done.

“No, sir,” I say to him, keeping my tone low and as respectful as I can. “I’m not whom you think I am. I’m sorry for your disappointment…”

“Do you take me for an idiot?”

His voice was husky and sent an unfamiliar warmth through my body. My mind went back to moments ago and I shiver, feeling myself growing a little wet at the memory. I brush the thought from my mind before clearing my throat and speaking again.

“Do you honestly believe a lowly Omega like me, could possibly pose as an Alpha?” I ask, humor ringing in my voice.

I kept my voice friendly and lighthearted, just as an Omega should. There were certain traits of an Omega that I haven’t practiced since I was a little girl and was forced to take this medication to become an Alpha. Certain traits that I would have to remember if I wanted to convince Landry that I wasn’t actually the female Alpha. 

“But thank you for your … excellence in that area, sir.”

This time I pitch my voice lower, smoky, tempting. I’ve heard enough dirty talk from other Alphas to know an Omega’s post-sex voice can be enough to drive an Alpha insane.

I hope Landry goes insane for a moment, so he can forget that he suspects my Alpha self to be a lie. I wet my lips and his eyes follow my tongue’s movement. When I speak again, I think I have him hooked.

“If that’ll be all, I think I’ll be leaving now…”

As I turn away from him, Landry seemed frozen. He wasn’t expecting me to still deny it; I could tell from the shock on his face that I had won this battle.

Suddenly, he smiled.

His voice became low and bewitched: “Maybe you aren’t the female Alpha…” he pauses for a moment as he assesses my body. “Oh, little she-wolf. Do you have to leave so soon, though? I was just getting started.” My breath got caught in my throat. “I could please you so much better. Would you like that?

My features became warm, but this time it wasn’t because I was in heat. This was humiliating. And it seemed he was determined to make me look like a fool. All I could think about at that moment was kicking him just as I would in training. But then he would definitely know that it was me. 

I had to keep the persona of an omega female wolf who has just ended her estrus. I need to be more like an omega she-wolf to throw him off my trial.

“Perhaps if we meet again,” I say with a coy smile.

There’s no way I’ll ever run into him in heat again. I was careless tonight, but it won’t happen again.

“You sure?” He asked with his own smirk; a smirk that caused my stomach to form into a tight knot. I wasn’t prepared for such a feeling.

“I’m sure,” I say in return. I smile at him again and added in the most relaxed and natural Omega tone, “Goodbye. May the goddess bless you.”

I leave before another word is said.

Landry’s POV

That lying bitch!

Landry growls annoyingly as the Omega, as Bernice, walks further into the forest, disappearing from his sight.

She seemed proper, and so put together. No Omega could sound so alert so soon after such an intense climax like that. She was trying to distract him with her gorgeous eyes and intoxicating scent, but it didn’t work. He was the Alpha King, not some pathetic rogue wolf, mindless and in search of a warm body.

He could handle an Omega just as easily as he could handle a vampire. And she knows this, so, why does she run from him? Did she really think he wouldn’t ever find out?

She had gambled and she had lost. Instead of owning up to her betrayals, she runs from him. It was infuriating and Landry would make sure he got his revenge.

The scent of strawberry milk lingers in the air, long after the omega had taken off and Landry breathes it in greedily. There was no mistaking that this was in fact an omega, not an Alpha. But how is she able to disguise herself as an Alpha so easily? She has been parading around and commanding the respect that she is not owed.

Secrets were dangerous in war times like this, and it was clear to him now that the female Alpha was holding a large secret. For the good of his kind, he made a vow to himself that he was going to do whatever it took to find out what she was hiding.

His eye catches the pink strawberry panties still on the ground. It is clear the fake Alpha could not wear them again, as they were violently torn. He picks them up, pressing them to his face for a long moment before sticking them in his pocket, mind made up.

He mindlinks his Beta.

After years of war and fighting, Landry knows about spies and will not rest until he finds out if Bernice is one. There have been spies in the wolves, vampires, and bears. They can be anywhere. Though, he had to admit, that it pained him to think that his strongest, and best ally could be working against him.

“Look into Bernice, the Alpha she-wolf of Sunset Pack. I need to know everything about her. Leave nothing out.”

“Yes, Alpha. I will do it immediately.”

Landry sniffs the air again, locating the Omega’s sweet scent immediately, and a smirk crosses his face as he feels a stirring in his groin. He feels his blood run hot.

Oh yes.

It was odd for him to be thinking about Bernice in such a way. For a long time, she has been nothing more than a fighting companion. Her snow-white wolf is strong and brave. But it was only a lie. She’s a strawberry milk-flavored omega and he will never forget that fact. All her Alpha accomplishments fade to the back of his mind, replaced by the way she sounded when she climaxed.

He grows restless as he stands, picturing the Omega in the moonlight, naked and shameless. He feels himself harden slightly and his smirk grows. It will be fun to expose the liar…and he’ll love every moment of it.

He can’t wait to touch, grab, make her writhe, and scream all over again.

“I’m not going to let you go this easily, Bernice, you Omega bitch.”
