Chapter 4

Caleb

I come from school very elated, the omega is still in school doing detention. I have been looking for a reason to taunt her. It’s like my wolf misses seeing her in tears. He really enjoys. He growls a little when the thought of her crawling and begging forms in my mind. A smirk forms on my face that doesn’t go away. I don’t even go to the training ground with Kendrick as usual, I want to add fuel to my mother so that when the omega gets home, she can be punished. I will start with the punishment, of course.

“Mum, the omega is still in school, and I am famished.” I say to my mother the moment I get to the house.

“Oh no, son, she is in the kitchen.” She says as she continues scrolling on her phone. I guess it’s about emails and some documents for the pack. It’s always so boring, I will never do the work when I become Alpha. Kendrick, my Beta will have to do it all.

I head to the kitchen to check if she is really there. To my surprise, I find her cleaning the serving plates. Which only means that she is already done with the evening snacks, but how come? She had gone to detention. Now what do I do? I wanted to punish her today. She has ruined my plans.

I love how jumpy she gets when I am around her. She gets all terrified, she even breaks the plate when I shout at her. What angers me is when she looks me in the face. Her face is so innocent and when our eyes meet, I can see the sadness in them. This always makes me feel a tinge of pain in my tummy. That’s why I hate it when she looks at me. I had to kick her in the stomach for making me feel that way. I didn’t feel good though when doing that, but I had to if I wanted her to continue fearing me.

As I kick her, I hear a bone breaking, did I go overboard? My heart flutters as I see blood coming from under her thighs. She must have fallen on the broken plate. She is so weak, how can a fall cause her all that. So pathetic. I walk up to her and pour water on her before leaving the kitchen. But I feel so weird inside my heart when I hear her whimper in pain.

“Caleb, I was looking for you.” Kendrick’s voice makes me get rid of the weird feeling, and suddenly, I am myself again.

“What is the matter, Ken?”

“The alpha of the Crescent moon pack is outside the Pack guest, asking for your audience. Alpha, Luna and you, of course.” He clarifies. I am not yet the alpha, so my father has to be present in all the meetings. I head to my father’s study to pick him. My father says it isn’t necessary for mum to be present. So, we proceed to the gates.

We find Alpha Lucian together with his men, even without being told, they look like they were on a war. They have torn clothes, injured men and broken weapons. The fight must have been so tight.

“Open the gates!” my father commands, the guards immediately roll the gates open. I rush to one of the men who is almost falling and offer some help.

“Sorry Alpha Aggrey we came without word. My men were hungry and injured, and our pack is far from here. That’s why we stopped here.” Alpha Lucian explains to my father. He sure speaks with respect for such a huge man. I thought he might be rude and arrogant, but no. if I were that huge, I would have bragged. I sigh looking at my medium body.

“Packs help each other Alpha, Lucian, today is you and tomorrow might be me.” my father explains.

“Thank you, Alpha Aggrey.” He bows in respect. My father nods and smiles slightly.

“Bring them inside, Caleb, arrange for everything they will need.” My father commands in his Alpha tone. We walk them inside, they settle at the lounge area, which is big enough to house fifty people. Then we arrange for pack doctors to check them up. Kendrick calls for my mum to arrange some food. I don’t know where my mother finds the food because I am sure the omega is still on the floor. She might even be dead by now because I am sure she will bleed out, after all she is a weak little thing.

After about thirty minutes the table is clear, Lucian’s men are already in their rooms. The alpha mansion is so huge for these emergencies. The rooms are always clean and ready for use. Now I have to take Lucian since his room is on the other wing and bigger that the others. We walk quietly since we have nothing to talk about. He looks so horrifying, he makes my blood boil. He is overly built, all these muscles for one man. I feel like a bee near him, so I make sure I walk three steps ahead of him. If it were my call, I would just walk behind him. My self-esteem is shattered now. I need to work out more.

“What’s that smell, Caleb” Lucian asks as we begin to ascend the stairs.

“What smell?” I ask. I don’t feel any smell whatsoever, he must be dreaming, maybe it’s all the liquor we had downstairs. But Wolves don’t get drunk easily, our system is always too strong for alcohol.

“Wow! It’s spectacular, don’t you feel it?” he asks again, now his attention focused on another direction. Oh, No! he can’t go there, he will find the omega there. She might even be dead by now.

“There is nothing there, Alpha Lucian.” I say to him, feeling extremely nervous. But he doesn’t listen to me, instead he continues walking towards the attic. What do I do now? It’s like he can’t hear my voice. Is he possessed or something?
