Chapter 5

"Don't all relations disappoint in the end? I mean everyone leaves, sooner or later."

~Thoughts…

DPOV

"I don't believe it." muttered Christian. "It's almost as if the Ozeras think of this as a joke."

I shook my head. "I don't think Alpha Ozera is lying. He won't get anything out of it." I said. We both were sitting in my office, trying to figure out the attack that took place in the River Valley Pack a few days ago.

"But he told us that the rogues were going to attack!" he exclaimed. I could see that he was tired of this. "And now he says that the rogues had no play in it!"

I nodded, analysing the situation. We had set up a strong guard force near the river, the place where Omegas resided. We weren't expecting much because rogues usually aren't trained or well equipped. But what happened during the attack shook us all. They caused massive destruction, and most of the wolves were trained.

"Think about it," Christian said, leaning forward in his chair, "Those wolves didn't attack anywhere except for the Omegas. And they didn't even kill any of them- just sort of, scared them!" I narrowed my eyes. He was right. But they did try to kill Rose.

"Also, they knew everything about the pack. Location of all the Omega houses, weak points, alternate exits and… stuff" he trailed off.

He widened his eyes. "What if someone from inside the pack planned this? To, you know, get rid of Omegas or something?"

I shook my head. "That's rubbish." I said, although I couldn't shake away the thought of Ozeras and their utter hatred towards the Omegas.

"Alpha Ozera would never do that." I concluded as I stood up, and so did Christian.

"Now, we have an important meeting in about ten minutes, by then I want you to compile all the evidences so that the other Alpha can take a look as well."

He groaned. "Do we really have to involve the Blue Side Pack into this?"

I shrugged, "That's how it has to be."

The Blue side pack was nowhere near ours, but Alpha Ivashkov happened to be one of father's best friends. They became close about 20 years back, when they got involved in some business relations. However, I've never been good friends with his son, the next Alpha -Adrian. He was a bit younger than me and still had some time to go before becoming the alpha. Suddenly I sensed someone near the door. I walked towards the door cautiously so as to not startle either them or Christian.

"Don't you think they're always a bit too much involved in our business?" huffed Christian, still annoyed over Blue Side Pack (name one thing he wasn't annoyed about) as I opened the door.

"Who's too much involved in your business?" asked a soft voice as a ruffled head appeared in front of the door. Rose.

My eyes widened before I broke into a smile. Whenever I was near her, my senses would fade and I would find myself at peace. Even when she was undergoing treatment, her presence alone was oddly comforting and would get me through the most stressful tasks. Funny to think that I didn't even know much about her yet.

"Now," I said with a soft edge in my voice, "This is the third time you've eavesdropped on our conversation since yesterday. You know it's against the order to disrespect the alpha right?"

She sighed. "Yup I know all about it. But it's not like your conversation was interesting anyway you know." she said, shrugging.

I opened my mouth but she just raised her hand in a stop sign, as if to shut me up. "I don't need another one of your boring ass lectures all right? I won't eavesdrop again. I'm bored enough already."

It left me (and Christian) momentarily speechless as no one had ever dared to do this to me, but here I was- helpless in front of my mate. She turned and started leaving, probably trying to escape my lecture. I knew I shouldn't scold her over something as petty as this, but being part of ranks require one to be fully responsible and act maturely at all times, as everyone looks up to them.

I snaked my arm around her waist and pushed her against the wall, so that her back was facing me. Her white sundress felt soft under my hand as I brought my lips dangerously close to her ear. I could feel her shiver under my touch, and surprisingly I loved it.

"This," I began in a threatening tone, "is no way to talk to an Alph-"

"Ouch!" she suddenly whimpered. She wasn't fully healed yet! Damn it.

I released her in a flash and made her sit on the table. She clutched her arm out of pain with eyes shut. The sight of her in pain made my blood boil, and I regretted the decision of killing that wolf way too easily. He should've suffered more for hurting her.

"Are you okay?" Christian asked out of concern, "maybe we should call a doctor?" Rose shot him a death glare and he visibly gulped. "No doctor." she said deadpanned. "I'm fine, it's just that my wolf hasn't fully healed."

Yeah, it was because you didn't reach on time. You never do anything right. snorted my wolf, Darius. I rolled my eyes.

"Let me train..." she said in a small voice. I sighed. "Rose, you're not in a condition to train right now."

"I am!" She exclaimed, "Besides, I'd feel better by being of some use! I've been alone in this place for two days."

I shook my head. "You know I can't let you do that."

"Let me visit my pack then?"

"I can't let you do that either. You might get attacked again."

"Then how about you let me out of the pack house so I can see what this pack is like?"

I shook my head again, "People here are very particular about their pack. They don't like strangers. They'll need a formal introduction, which will take time."

She stood up with a sudden jerk and looked at with disbelief. "So you're trying to say that I'm literally limited to this hallway!?"

"Precisely." Christian summed up unnecessarily.

"Rose look-" I began.

"They've arrived!" announced Mason, our Delta, breathless. "We need to commence the meeting, like, right now."

"No, hey!" Rose said, almost angrily. She looked hot when she was angry. It was so not the time for that. "We're in the middle of something over here!"

"Which can wait." I ordered. I looked at Mason which sent him the sign. He scurried off while Christian started organising all the papers which were scattered all over the table. Without meeting those brown eyes, I left the room. I've got more important things to think about other than Rose, I told myself.

Like how I'll manage to explain the details of the attack to Ivashkovs. And more importantly, what if they come to know that the pack finally did find their Luna, who happened to be an Omega?

RPOV

Words weren't enough to explain how angry I was at him. He actually ignored me! How dare he!? I looked at Christian with equal hate, who looked enough tired already.

"There's some chocolate ice cream in the fridge. I've heard it treats mood swings." he said as he left the room.

If looks could kill (and if he actually had eyes on his back) he would be dead right now. Okay fine, maybe I was having mood swings. It's just that all of this was so sudden. Within two days I'd gone from being a sidelined Omega to the Luna of like the greatest pack ever.

But well, I gotta do what I was supposed to. So I took Christian's advice and went to the fridge. All the while, I couldn't help but think about dad- did he know about this? What if people around him- like Dimitri said- told him about my whereabouts?

I knew it was horrible to think that way, but I felt a little smug. I mean obviously, now nobody would think low of me. All my life I've been an outcast. What a shock it would be for those who always thought I was unworthy of anything. Now I could live a more lavish life than Lissa. I wonder how dad must've felt when he finally realised that I was actually made for great things. That I wasn't the silly immature girl he always said I was. I was born to be a Luna.

You are not a Luna yet, reminded Winter. She was still weak, healing from the near death experience we somehow survived. And always remember Rose, with great power comes great responsibility.

I sighed. I knew that, and it scared me. I wanted to explore my capabilities and bring out the best of me, but it was quite normal that I was afraid.

Also, somewhere, I couldn't accept Dimitri completely because I knew we couldn't be mates. It was not meant to be. An Omega couldn't be with an Alpha- no matter what.

I knew Dimitri was even more confused than me as he had an entire pack to look after. I could almost never find him alone, but I think he purposefully did not want to talk about this. Yet, somehow, maybe us being mates influenced him. He and his officials treated me like a future Luna. It was cool.

I was so deep in my thoughts, I did not realise that I was halfway through the ice cream tub. It was heavenly. All I had done for the past two days was eat and sleep. Not to mention daydreaming about a particular super hot alpha.

I strolled back to my room, scratching my eyes. Suddenly, my senses got blurry and I could feel my mate nearby. I found myself in front of a huge door, which probably looked important. I pressed my ear to the door, and thanks to my wolf's hearing senses, I was able to listen to the conversation.

"-and he took help from some of the trained wolves of our pack." a thick voice was saying. Oh, they were talking about the attack! Finally I found something interesting to eavesdrop upon.

"We are certain that he meant damage." another voice continued, "we found records." A voice of rustling papers followed.

"He visited the Blue Side Pack almost every month." asked the same thick voice from before. "Look, it wasn't rogues who attacked River Valley Pack. This person planned it out very cunningly. Apparently, preparations were being carried out from a long time. All the supplies and fighters he used belonged to the Blue Side pack- he had a lot of connections."

"The only question is- why would he disrupt his own home? Attack his own people?" I recognised this voice as Mason's.

"We investigated him a lot. He won't open his mouth!"

I furrowed my eyebrows. They suspected someone, and he's still alive? It was strange, packs were very cruel in this context.

"Who was he?" Mason asked again.

"An Omega," replied the same voice, "named Abe Mazur."
