DAMON
I chuckled to myself as I stood up from the bed. Olivia’s naivety makes me wonder if she has always been like that.
I know she hasn’t eaten since yesterday and already instructed the maid to get her something to eat after showing her to her room.
I get that the way she was brought up shaped her life, I equally know that she’s scared of voicing her opinion to me, of course, she’s scared of me just like the rest of my people.
But living with me isn’t going to be all rosy for her, she will have to learn and get used to the new way of living around here.
For some reason, I want to be soft on her and treat her well. After three years, I got to see someone who could act as a substitute for Nina since they are similar in so many ways.
I’d have thought that they were from the same family if I hadn’t known that Nina was from a more welcoming family where she was loved and cherished.
That is not the case for Olivia. Although I see her as a substitute, she can never be her. Getting out of my room, I met Luca standing right at my door.
“Is there a problem? Why didn’t you come in?” I inquired. “I figured you were already coming out, Alpha, there wasn’t any need for me to go inside to meet you” he explained.
“I would love to accompany you this time around, I only let you go out yesterday because I know you’d be in the company of someone when you are coming back. I wasn’t aware that you didn’t go with a car” Luca nitpicked.
I rolled my eyes at him, slightly pushed him to the side, and walked away knowing that he would follow behind me. Of course, I understand why he wouldn’t let me go out on my own.
“When will you get to believe that I am fine now? I am no longer a sick and nauseated Alpha. I can handle myself just fine” I protested
Luca and I have been friends since we were pups and as we grow older, we get closer. Five years ago, he volunteered to become my Beta which I am always grateful for.
If it had been those disturbing old hags, I don’t know what I would have done to them by now.
“How can I believe that when you stopped taking the herbal medicines and you passed out for almost a week? I am sorry Alpha but I can’t take any more chances” he replied while I huffed.
No one else will dare to talk to me like that or dare not to listen to me except him, maybe being my number one right-hand man earned him that.
“You wouldn’t stop addressing me as Alpha yet, you won’t listen to me” I whined. I took his silence as an answer, he had already made up his mind to follow me in case I passed out or puked around the entire werewolf community.
No one knows this fact except Luca and my doctor. Everyone thinks that I am a scary, ruthless, healthy, and merciless Alpha with no idea I have survived all these years.
My health is not something I am interested in frequently talking about which is why I am going to drop the topic now.
Seeing that Luca would not go back, I nodded my head with a sigh and threw the car key at him.
The werewolves might not have the same intelligent brain as humans but over the years, I have tried to develop my pack and make it technological driven as much as I can.
We have standard hospitals, western schools, advanced healthcare facilities, social amenities, cars, and the like of them.
No other pack is as refined as ours and because of that, other werewolves come here in the name of tourism which generates revenue for the pack.
“Olivia’s uncle, let’s pay him and his family a visit. It’s high time they administered their punishments for lying and deceiving me” I muttered.
We entered the car and drove off. The best punishment to give someone in power who abuses people due to his position is to take that power away from them and watch them become useless. That’s precisely what I am going to do.
After seeing those scars on Olivia yesterday, it gets me more mad that they could do that to her in her own home. I did my research before going there yesterday, I also found out that her mum owns the house she lived in with her uncle.
It’s either she doesn’t have that knowledge or she was bullied to the point that she could not defend herself.
Olivia is still young and innocent, I guess that is why everyone tramples on her. She should learn to become stronger while she is here.
I was lost in my thoughts, not until the car came to a halt, announcing that we’d arrived at our destination. I came out of the car and began walking into the house.
“What do you want to do to them?” Luca questioned. “What else? Taking away what they love the most, of course” I responded with my eyes getting cold with each step I took towards them.
Thankfully, they were all having fun in the living room, including their daughter who threw herself at me on a platter of gold yesterday.
“Alpha Damon is here” Karen screamed the moment she saw me, drawing the attention of the rest of the people in the room.
“Good…morning, Alpha” David greeted as they all stood up from the chair. I sat down on the couch with my legs crossed on the other.
“I will be quick so that I can get out of here, this place reeks of dirt and rotten eggs” I howled “Henceforth, you and your family are stripped from the position of Beta to an Omega” I paused to take in their reactions to see their eyes widened in shock.
“You no longer enjoy the liberties of being in a higher position in the pack, I am using this as a warning to you all. If you ever come close to Olivia or try to hurt her again, I will make sure you become worse than slaves”
