Almost saw the Grim Reaper !

Why am I feeling so comfortable around the Beta? Though, we grew up together since childhood, he have never cared to even glance at me. And all of a sudden he is talking to me, want to be my friend and is concerned about me !

We have been spending much time together and got so close to each eachothers, I even started calling him Dani and he calls me Kath ! When did we came this close that, ME, the Omega,can call the Beta by his name ? And that too, short, like we have been friends from our past life !

And honestly, I don't mind coming close to him. He is the only one on in the this big pack, whom I can call my friend.

Nobody ever tried to understand me. Nobody looked at me as a person just like them. I have always been the bitch and a whore to them. But he ? He is different. I mean, I can feel from the way he is around me.

He never looks at me with lustful eyes, like the others. If anything, he looks at me with love...

Shut up Katharine, what are you thinking about ? He doesn't loves you !

But what if he does ?

But you love the Alpha !

But the Alpha doesn't even let you stand in his surroundings !

Yeah, but you said that you aren't going to give up on him, what about it ?

What if you give up on him and then, you realise that was the worst mistake of your life ?

But, what if you wait for him to change his attitude towards you and he remains the same whole life ?

My life would be ruined !

I'll be all alone till the last breath. And I have handled so many heats all alone, I can't stand it anymore. I need the relief ! I too deserve it !

But you...

Shut the fuck up !

I screamed my lungs out at my debating thoughts at the lifeless wall of my chamber.

Our alpha have unnoticingly taught us many cursing words. He learnt them when he was a human and then, by using them infront of us, they have became the part of our lives itself ! It's not like he have only taught us bad things.

He have taught us many good things as well. Like, wearing clothes; that's the best thing he have introduced us to !

Earlier we use to wander in our wolf form only, because we had nothing to hide our naked bodies ! And now everyone stays in their human form.

He also taught us brushing our teeth, using soap while bathing, shampoos for washing our hair; and thanks to that, my hair remain this beautiful !

The first time I used it and saw my hair, I almost didn't recognised them as mine. They were full of dirt and mud earlier.

He even brought us combs to clean the mess in our hair, again thanks him for that, my hair remain set and messless for a long time.

He have introduced us to many useful and good things along with the curse words, which we were unaware of. He literally changed everyone's life here. He is very good at heart and that's why everyone loves him; except for Robert !

Let it be. So, coming back to Dani, I do like him. He is very good to me. I don't know something weird is happening to me. Though I hate males wanting me in their beds; but I hate that Dani doesn't want that ! I mean not like literally having in his bed, what I mean is...

I don't know !

See, I don't know anything what's going on. I guess I am falling for him. But he says we don't love anyone, we imprint and we become mates and love doesn't stands anywhere in front of it. I do believe him for some reason.

Is he by any chance manipulating me into something he wants ?

Oh, shut up !

If he wanted to do that, he would have done it by now. It's been a long time now we became friends, if he had some ill intesions, he would have approached me for that.

But he doesn't even look at me when I am in less clothes ! I mean, I wasn't acting a slut, he suddenly entered my room one day without knocking, when I was applying lotion on my body.

He glanced at me and saw I was wearing way too less clothes to be infront of him and he left ! He is such a gentleman.

Well, I am not sure about what I feel for him, but I am definitely sure about something else !

Let's meet the Alpha ! I am taking Dani with me, I am sure without him being there Alpha won't talk to me !

I dragged Dani with me to the Alpha's chamber after he tried to make me understand that I don't have any chance remaining to be the Alpha's mate.

Knock knock !

I knocked at his door and opened it.

" Katharine ? "

Alpha asked surprised.

" Alpha ! "

I greeted him.

" What are you... "

Alpha sounded panicked having me all alone in his chamber; or more correctly, finding him trapped between the wall and me, like some scared deer watching the Lion approaching him before killing !

" I want to talk to you, Alpha. "

I said, hoping he'd listen to me.

" Huh ? About wha... "

Alpha was still panicked as, Dani was standing outside the door.

" Oh don't worry Alpha, I have got your friend with me for your protection's sake ! Isn't it really funny, the most fierce Alpha is afraid of a Omega of his own pack ? "

Dani enter his room after I indirectly called for him.

" You are badly mistaking my lady. I am not afraid of you ! Every male is afraid of only one woman in his life and that's his mate and no one else ! And as far as I know, you aren't my mate, forgive me if I hurt you with my words ! "

Alpha said without even glancing at Dani.

" When you haven't hurt me alpha ? "

His words hurt me ! Badly ! Once again ! Though, he have been doing this for a very long time, I haven't gotten used to harshness. And though he every time uses the same context for rejecting me, his words never fail to pierce through my heart !

" You are here to discuss about it ? "

Alpha said rolling his eyes, as if he doesn't care how hurt or insulted I feel !

" I wish I was. But I am here for something else today. I need answer to my question ! Why aren't you accepting my love for you Alpha ? "

I asked him staring into his eyes.

" Katharine ! "

Alpha growled.

" No Alpha, I want a proper answer to my question ! "

I didn't flinched at the poison in his voice while calling my name ! At what extend he hates me ?

" You too know the answer, Katharine. I've already imprinted ! And so, I can't accept anyone else's feeling. "

Alpha said through his gritting teeth.

" But... "

I was determined to get a proper answer. This was some bullshit he was using to avoid me !

" No, Katharine. I respect you. I respect your feelings, but you need to understand that, you can't get what you desire. "

Alpha said trying to calm himself down.

" I deserve it, Alpha ! "

I said glaring at him with fury. I am done with his rejection for the millionth time !

" I will tell you what you deserve. You deserve LOVE Katharine ! You deserve a mate who'll imprint on you. A mate who is loyal to you and only you !

Not the one who would be your mate and be in love with someone else, you definitely don't deserve that !

You wanting me, is your desire, it's not what you deserve ! There is lot of difference between the two.

I don't want to hurt your feelings over and over again. But you need to understand that, a male who have already imprinted can't be yours for his entire life !

No matter what you do. No matter how much love you will give him, he will only desire for his mate !

You need to move on and find someone who'll love you the way you deserve; and that is definitely not ME my dear, I am sorry. I am sure you will find... "

Alpha have soften his tone and was taking with sympathy for me ! I don't fucking want his sympathy ! And I am definitely not in the mood for another lecture on the same,

' You deserve who loves you ! '

' Move on and find your mate ! '

twice in the same day ! And that too within the time span of less than an hour !

" Oh I don't need your speech Alpha, your Beta have already done that for you !

Listen to me Alpha, I am giving up on you ! "

I don't know what came to me, I forgot where was I standing and to whom was I talking. My rage and fury overwhelmed all of my senses and disgust and loath shone brightest among all other emotions.

Without even thinking what was I saying and oblivious of the consequences, I kept on going.

" I won't bug you anymore. But, remember one thing, I am leaving YOU alone; but I won't leave your beloved Jenifer alone !

I will hate her with my gut forever. If I get any chance, I swear, I will rip her throat off without even flinching ! "

I said literally spitting the venom I had stored for her all this time !

" Kath ! "

Daniel yelled, trying to get me back in my senses. But I was way past being sane.

" Don't Kath me ! I am serious. "

I growled at Dani for trying to shut me up. Oh, I so wish I had listened to him the moment he asked to shut my mouth. But, what happened had happened.

" Kath, she haven't done anything to you. She didn't do anything worng. Why are holding rage against her like this ? Alpha, please say something ! "

Daniel said panicked as Alpha didn't said anything till now and let me blabber nonsense about his mate ! He was scared to death for not knowing what was Alpha thinking for being so silent.

According to Dani, this shouldn't be his reaction. And to try to stop form what disastrous thoughts running in his mind, he called out for him.

" Aah ! "

I groaned in pain.

Before I could realize what have I uttered and even before I could blink, the Alpha had me pinned to the wall behind me, with my throat in his clasp.

" Rick ! "

Daniel screamed shocked.

Fuck ! He is chocking me hard. And his grip is real strong, like he is gonna rip my throat out.

He is growling loud in my ear. A deadly growl. Like a predator is going to kill his prey !

" Al... Alpha you... You are cho... Choking me. Le... Let me go... Please. "

I could barely wisper through the killing grip on my throat.

" You little piece shit, you dare threaten me ? You dare threaten my mate to kill her ? "

He was growling menacingly through his clenched teeth.

" You wanna rip her throat off, right ? Let's do one thing, let me do the same to you !

Any last wish, my dear Omega ? "

Alpha said curling his lips so that his teeth ware bare befor me. He then tightened his grip.

Oh god, I've never seen him like this ! His eyes are becoming red and he is snarling at me. His teeths near my face and his claws are extending his nails to dig in my throat !

" Ahh ! "

I cried out in pain.

Did he just punctured my throat ? I can feel the blood flowing through my throat.

" Rick let her go, you are gonna kill her this way ! Please... "

Daniel tried to save me.

" Oh, I AM gonna kill her Dani ! "

Alpha said determined to finish his task. God, is he really gonna kill me ?

" I... I can't... Breath... Alpha... I... I am so... Sorry... Let me go... "

I pleaded him for his mercy. I don't wanna die. What the hell was I thinking before saying all those words ?

" Rick please, let her go. You don't have to kill her. She is stupid, she just said that out of rage. She don't mean that. "

Daniel said raising his voice a bit to make Alpha listen to him.

" Words said in rage are true Dani ! One says the words which they truly mean when, one is angry !

I have experienced it myself and I am not gonna let any potential threat wandering alive for my mate ! "

Alpha said growling.

Daniel reached his hand and placed it on Alpha's arm like, he was gonna pull Alpha's hand off my throat. I felt a bit relieved.

" Don't you dare pull my hand away Daniel ! If you tried, I am gonna sink my claws deep in her throat and you pulling my hand away, will rip her throat off and YOU will be the one responsible for her death, understand ? "

Alpha said threatening Dani.

Alpha growled again. He is continuously growling and roaring in rage. I am scared to death. His every growl is sending shivers down my spine ! I must beg him to let me go.

" Alpha I promise... I won't... I won't be any threat to... Your mate ever... Please let me go... You are bleeding me... It... It hurts... Please... "

I tried to push his hand away from my throat.

" Enough Rick, please let her go ! She won't do anything stupid. She have learnt her lesson. Please let her go. "

Daniel raised his voice more than earlier. This time his voice isn't panicked or scared for my life like earlier. This time it is more like a command than a request; please word added like just for formality !

What is he doing ? Alpha will kill him as well !

" Huh ! Let her go ? And why do you think I would do that ? Give me one good reason Dani. ONE GOOD REASON to let her go !

First, she talks to me disrespectfully. She talks as if she is doing a favour on me by leaving me alone.

I am your fucking Alpha ! I don't care who the fuck is standing infront of me, nobody dares disrespect me !

And secondly, she threatens to rip off the throat of my MATE ?

I was talking to her very humbly and she ? She is threatening me ? Threating my mate ? Why the fuck would I let her go after she have done this ? Why ? "

Alpha asked demanding answer from Dani.

" Because she is MY impression ! I've imprinted on her ! Please Alpha, let my impression go ! "

Daniel growled through clenched teeth.

What ? He did what ? Did he just said he have imprinted on me ? Is he serious or is he lying to save my ass ?

" You what ? Don't you dare lie to me Dani. Don't forget I am not only your friend, I am your Alpha as well ! "

Alpha glared at him.

" No. I am not lying ! I may have lied to my friend but, I won't ever lie to you, Alpha. "

Daniel said seriously.

" When did you imprinted on her ? You haven't told me ! "

Alpha said getting more and more angry and scaring the hell out of me !

" Right now, Alpha ! Even I realised now that I've imprinted on her. "

Daniel said placing his hand on Alpha's, in which he have grasped my throat and is ready to rip it off any moment. Dani you stupid, just take your hand away, if he got mad, I am the one who is gonna die !

I cursed Dani, but Alpha's expressions are changing, like he is thinking, wheather to trust him and leave me or is he just bluffing ?

He is glaring at me but his grip on my throat is loosing and tightening alternatively. I guess he'll let me go. But, why ? Why would telling him I am Dani's impression will gain me freedom ?

" Because, he is my pack member, my family ! I can't hurt the mate or impression of my fucking family ! "

Alpha almost screamed it in deafening growl. He pushed me on the wall and with defeat and disappointment clear on his face, and he let my throat go. I gasped in the air greedily.

He chocked me almost to death. Like I just saw the grim reaper and then he turned back, showing mercy at me.

My throat is aching as hell. And how does he know what I thought...

" Because you all are linked to my mind ! I know what is everyone thinking. You can't hide your thoughts from me ! "

Alpha answer my wordless question. And turning to Dani he growled,

" And you, I am letting her go just for your sake ! And if she do anything foolish, your would be the throat I'll rip off first, you better fucking remember that, Beta ! "

Alpha said threatening Dani. He haven't called him Beta even infront of the whole pack and now, here just in my presence, he called him Beta ! I hope this shouldn't affect their friendship !

" Ofcourse, Alpha. Thank you so much for your mercy on my impression. I am very grateful to you.

And I'll make sure she won't do anything stupid. Thank you so much.

May we please leave now, Alpha ? "

Daniel asked for his permission.

" Get her fucking out of sight before I change my mind and rip her heart off ! "

Alpha said disgusted and fury.

" Katharine come, let's go. "

Daniel helped me get out of his chamber. Thank god, I had decided to bring Dani with me to talk to Alpha. If it wasn't for him, I'd be dead by now ! I owe him one !
