Chapter 15
Bardhyl
Sweat trickles down my back the moment I walk into the bathroom. Steam curls up from the surface of the bath and the first thing my gaze lands on are two young Beta women in a corner of the bath chatting. Many use the place for destressing. They’re facing each other, the water to their necks, and only when they look my way do they bow their heads.
There’s no connection for me to Beta females. They aren’t compatible with Alphas… it all comes down to knotting. Their bodies don’t release the pheromone to trigger our knotting and swelling. A while ago, Dušan told me of a barbaric story of a Beta Ash Wolf female raped by two Alphas. He’d trapped the woman’s daughter, in the room to arouse the Omega inside of her to allow the men to knot. Thing is, Beta’s aren’t built for the knot the way an Omega is.
The poor woman died, and the daughter, Daciana, was a shadow of herself afterward. Dušan had no choice but to send her to X-Clan, because there was no way she would accept living with Ash Wolves after that horrific ordeal. Dušan butchered the Alphas with his bare hands when he found out. I would have done the same, but I’d have taken my time so they would have felt every excruciating ache.
From what I’ve heard, Daciana is quite satisfied with her new arrangement in in Ander’s pack now.
Stalking past the bath, I meet Lucien’s gaze from across the room. He has his back pressed to the brick wall, but he straightens on my approach.
“You come to bathe with the women again?” he jokes and we hug with a clap to each other’s backs.
“Maybe when the Omegas come to bathe, I’ll return.” I smirk and wink at him. Until Omegas find their mate, there’s nothing stopping them from having a good time.
“So you tracked me down. Who’s looking for me?” he asks.
“Hard not to track you down, bruh. I can smell her all over you and the entire pack is talking about you fucking Dušan’s Omega up in the woods.”
“Fuck!” He rubs a hand over his mouth. “So I’m guessing Dušan’s asked for me, then?”
I nod. “But go see Mariana first. She has Meira’s blood results you requested. Mad was in her lab room too, going over the results. When I questioned him, he told me to go fuck myself.”
Lucien stiffens. “That prick is back?” Lucien spits. “Does Dušan know?”
“Fuck no. The sneaky rat came in without telling anyone. I only saw him since I went to check on Mariana after her mother passed.”
“Hell, shit’s gonna explode, and Dušan is gonna be fuming.” Lucien’s shaking his head, fury lashing his face. The cords in his neck twitch, as does the nerve on his temple.
“Okay, you stay here and take Meira to her room once she’s finished in the shower.”
“You go. I’ll take it from here,” I say.
He gives me a nod and marches out of the bathroom. In truth, Dušan called Lucien about a conversation he had with the Alpha of X-Clan. I doubt our Alpha has even been out of his office or spoken to anyone this morning to hear the rampant rumors. In truth, I’m not surprised since the small encounter I had with Meira left me completely mesmerized. And I’ve done everything in my power to resist going back to her… clearly, Lucien failed.
Back in Denmark, it’s common for females to have more than one mate. The question is more if Dušan is open to it because it’s not common here.
Movement from the shower room draws my attention to the door opening as Meira steps out in clean clothes and a purple dress hanging off her arm. She has wet hair pushed off her face. Black leggings hug her gorgeous toned legs, and a wraparound blue top has a low V-neckline, the material following every curve of her sexy-as-hell tits.
I don’t say anything, just waiting for her wandering gaze to meet mine.
“Hey, Angel Legs.” My gaze drifts to the drip of water from her hair beading over her shoulders and rolling down her front of her cleavage
The pulse in my neck jumps wildly, my groin aching.
“Last time I saw you, you pushed me into a house.”
I raise a brow. “You fell inside after you kissed me.”
The coloring in her cheeks reddens, and I enjoy watching her flush, wondering if she’s that color when she’s being fucked. The thought has my cock straining in my pants.
She lifts her chin high, her jawline tight. “Where’s Lucien?”
“You’re stuck with me, Cupcake. He had to go see Dušan.”
Her eyes widen and she stiffens as her mouth parts, but the question never comes. I know exactly what she wants to ask, but her words never come.
