Chapter 22

Minutes before.

Deimos was leaning against a wall with his arms crossed watching William standing in front of the new location.

"Could you tell me, what is your plan for this again?" -Xander approached behind the omega who turned around and hit the beta's arm with his fist- "ouch, and why is that?" -the brown-haired girl complained rubbing the area where she was hit-

"Never in your life come close to me again" -the pink-haired girl would growl lightly while giving a warning look-

"Okay, okay… I'm sorry, I'm sorry" -Xander would raise both hands while taking a few steps back-

"Hum" -Deimos would snort looking annoyed-

"Can you stop overacting?" -a third voice would speak from behind the duo causing the omega to jump a little and throw another punch only this time it would be stopped before it connected- "good technique as always, but you need a little strength"

"Bentral always sticking me where you're not called" -Deimos would cross his arms while pouting upset-

"And you always exaggerating so you can hit whoever you want" -the alpha would mock, looking amused at the omega-

"You hit me just because?!" -Xander would open his eyes in surprise as he looked angrily at Deimos who kept his pout only now he would smile-

"Honey, no one except the boss can get close to him without him noticing... there was even a season where the new members tried to take him by surprise, all with the boss's permission, and they all failed"

"Why do you have to end my fun as soon as Benti begins?" -the pink-haired boy would look at the blond-haired boy with slight anger-

"Because, unlike the boss, I don't like to let you run wild if I can avoid it."

"Now I remember why I prefer to spend all the time I can with William instead of the rest of you… you're all boring snobs" -the pink-haired boy would snort looking back at the bakery and watching William enter the cake shop- "(good luck partner in crime)"

"Tell me Bentral, can you remind me what the boss's plan is?" -Xander would continue asking his partner this time-

"Are you serious Xander?" -the alpha would raise an eyebrow looking neutrally at the beta who would get a little nervous and look away blushing- "again?"

"I forgot… sorry" -the beta would lower her head looking at the floor as if it were the most interesting thing in the world-

"Ahr… well" -Bentral would put his arms behind his back shaking his head slightly- "listen the plan is not a big deal since the boss just wants to make a presentation… our only job is to make sure that no one enters the premises" and all the omega's attention is focused on the boss"

"(Something is not right)" -while the beta and the alpha were talking to each other the omega looked nervously towards the bakery- "(because I feel that something very bad is going to happen?... and more precisely to me?)" -the omega would take his cell phone out of his pants pocket feeling it vibrate due to receiving a call that he answered instantly- "Hello?"

"Mr. Deimos… remember that I wanted us to tell you about any sudden movement with the location of Lady Erika"

"Yes?" -the pink-haired boy's bad feeling increased causing him to bite his lips slightly-

"Well... just now some of my boys saw her enter her house even though she should be attending her first shift at her new job"

"…"

"Sir?"

"Thank you for the warning" -the omega would simply cut off the call while taking a few steps back, drawing Bentral and Xander's attention-

"Is something wrong Deimos?"

"Did something happen to the boss?"

"Well… it turns out… I" -Deimos would speak hastily as he would back away, finding himself about to run away, but suddenly he would freeze, feeling a chill run through his body, forming from the lower part of his back-

"(Deimos)"

William's alpha growl would have a fundamental impact not only on the aforementioned but also on Bentral and Xander, causing the 3 to be paralyzed in the place where they were, unable to move a finger since they all seemed to be able to hear it perfectly in some way despite the distance and the fact that the same growl was weakened and contained by the Aballay, preventing it from coming out with all its intensity.

Faced with the sensation and the accusatory looks of his companions, Deimos could only let out a small.

"Ups?"

***

Current events.

"Can you tell me… what the hell happened?" -the tone of the black-haired alpha would send a second shiver through the group of 3 subordinates-

"Well it seems… it seems there was an unforeseen event and Miss Belion left as soon as she entered the bakery… some of my subordinates saw her return to her residence" -the omega would finish explaining himself while he was kneeling on the floor with his head down-

"I understand that…" -William would nod, seeing with a certain shine in his eyes- "What I don't understand is how you could confuse me… Erika with the omega who was inside"

"…" -the pink-haired man would swallow hard, a little uncomfortable- "I don't know what to tell you, William… I can assure you that before entering the bar I saw Erika enter the bakery… but I have no idea why she had to return to her residence"

"Ths… get up now. I'm not going to punish you for a decision made by my next omega" -the black-haired man would make a slight movement with his hand- "this is not a mistake but a decision made by someone you cannot control"

"Thank you alpha" -Deimos would sincerely thank him for deciding to refer to the Aballay's title this time instead of his name or some nickname-

"The good thing is that I have already foreseen that this could happen... we are going to play it safe this time"

"You mean what?" -the omega would look at the black-haired man with a bit of surprise as he stood up-

"That's right... we will go to the only place where Erika's location is a certainty"
