Chapter Fifteen

MIA'S POV

David dragged me along the corridor and into the room where Alpha Kane was with the elders.

He had his fingers intertwined behind his back and his jaw was clenched with veins bulging on his head.

“Can you imagine the nonsense Azure, the Omegas are accusing us of kidnapping one of their children? What are we to do with those low lifes? The only value that they add to the pack is in population”, Alpha Kane fumed.

Alpha Kane plunged down onto a seat and hit the table violently while letting out a growl.

" Be calm. Tame your anger. We need to think”, Azure said.

Alpha Kane held his face in his hands as his shoulders and his chest rose up and down. After some time he took his hands away from his face and finally noticed David, Gordon and I.

“David", he called, “Come and sit beside me."

He looked so tired. David dragged me and sat beside his father while I sat by his side.

“Father', David called worriedly, " You look tired, what were you saying about the Omegas earlier?”

Alpha Kane was silent before he answered and said,

" Do you know David that where you found Kevin half conscious is part of our Pack which is apportioned to the Omegas?”

David opened his mouth slightly, closed it back and licked his lips and answered, "I never thought of that father.”

Alpha Kane nodded several times before saying, "The Omegas are accusing us of kidnapping one of their children.”

" What?”

David turned to look at me and his pupils were shaking as he squeezed my palm for comfort.

" You are missing one important detail”, a grumpy voice said.

I didn't turn to look at the one who uttered that statement as I was more focused on David. His legs were jittering.

Alpha Kane sighed and said,

“When you came back after you and your mate found Kevin. I sent a group of Betas to question the Omegas and give me an explanation on why Kevin was found there and it didn't go well.”

There was silence as the weight of Alpha Kane's actions bore heavily on everyone seated. We all stared at one another but no words were uttered. Gordon, who was normally cheerful, had an emotionless look on his face.

Suddenly David spoke up,

" Father?”

" Yes David.”

" It is my duty to protect my people and I have failed. I will go to find the missing Omega's child.

" David No, you can't.”

David stood up and held my hands, looked into my eyes as he pulled me up.

" Mia is going to be with me. I won't be alone. Together we will succeed.”

He turned to look at the elders and I followed his gaze. They all nodded in agreement and that same grumpy voice said,

" You have my blessings.”

Alpha Kane sighed in defeat

" I will have someone fuel a car and Gordon will go with you.

*****

Gordon drove us along the road leading to the Omega's part of the pack.

There were lots of flowers and trees and they danced gracefully in the night breeze. The night breeze carried the sweet fragrance of different beautiful flowers to my nostrils and I inhaled it gently. My nerves calmed down and for some seconds, I forgot the problem that we had at hand until Gordon's voice brought me back.

“We are almost there. The Omegas might be frail but they are said to have a strong mind of their own."

Gordon drove for some time again before making a stop in front of a gate that was shining brightly because the light of the head lamps of the car was shining on it.

The path from the gate was covered in mist and it was eerily quiet. Gordon unbuckled his seat belt.

“We are here", he said.

David and I made no response and even Gordon did not even question us to know if we heard him. It was quiet for a long while before Gordon let out a deep breath.

“We should get out if we want to make any progress here folks."

David and I unbuckled our seat belts almost simultaneously and we all left the car while Gordon checked to be sure that it was properly locked.

We all moved forward and walked on the path and as we proceeded, we heard strange noises and we stopped and looked at one another.

“GRR…GRR…GRR…”, it sounded.

The sound made me shiver and I took a step backwards while David and Gordon took a fighting stance.
