Reed’S POV.
Things always take a different turn when the mate issue comes up between Halle and I. We were having a pretty good time. Discussing future plans and I don’t know why the devil had to interfere. Now, we have a little misunderstanding and I have no idea what to do.
I hate it when we fight.
It’s frustrating and I miss her. On a normal day, I would’ve already called her at least two times, but today is not the case because I have no idea what to say to her if I call and she answers. Also, I know there’s a high chance that she’s going to ignore my call, so I’d rather protect my sanity right now by not calling.
A solid knock on my office door jabs me out of my thoughts. It must be Jerry, the soldiers I sent to get me the newly assigned maids for Luna Alora. There’s something I’d love to discuss with them.
“Come in.” I signal and clear my throat. The door opens up and as expected, Jerry steps into the office.
“Omega Reed, the girls you asked me to send for have arrived.”
“Send them in.”
“Yes, Sir!” He answers firmly and does an about turn out of the office. Few moleylatzr, two ladies dressed in maid’s uniforms, waltz into the office and Jerry closes the door behind them.
“Good day to you, Omega Reed.” They both greet in unison. I drop the pen in my hand on the table and lean against the backrest of my chair, my gaze plastered on the two girls who are trying to make me believe they are the most humble beings on earth.
“You may lift your heads up.” They both calmly do as told and look at me. The innocent looks they have on irritates me.
“Omega Reed, is there anything you would like us to do for you?” The dark haired girl asks quickly. I chuckle, shake my head and lean forward on my table. I have my usual blank expression.
“I was told you two are new maids assigned to serve Luna Alora.”
“Yes, we are.” Another chorus answer.
I hate chorus answers.
“And you are happy with your duty?”
“We are more than happy. We are grateful for this wonderful opportunity to serve the Supreme Luna.”
“Hmmm.” I mumble, nodding my head. “If you are so happy to serve the Supreme Luna diligently, why then have you accepted to become allies with Jovan to make her life miserable?” I ask with one brow raised. The girls gasp in shock. They look mortified by the statement I just made. I confidently nod my head even though I have no idea what I’m talking about.
I don’t know if indeed they have struck a deal with Jovan. I don’t know if they are loyal to Luna Alora or not, but to be on the safe side, k have assumed that they are not loyal. I will keep accusing them of siding with Jovan until they are able to prove to me that I’m wrong about where their loyalty lies.
“Don’t even think about lying to me right now because I already know the truth. I am the Omega of this pack and you all know I’m famous for my competence. When I suspect something, I investigate and come up with concrete evidence to prove my claims right. That’s the same thing I did to you girls. So tell me…” I sneer. “Why are you bloody lying about being loyal to the Supreme Alpha when we all know whose side you’re on? Huh?” My oh e is laced with dark undertones. I planned to intimidate and it seems that plan is working real good because the other girls are trembling and exchanging worried looks.
I think I should add more fuel to the already burning fire.
“If you come out now, as in, if you confess what you’ve done, I will show you mercy. I promise it won’t reach the Alpha’s ears, but if you lie to me, the moment you two walk out of that door, I will call Alpha Jayce and tell him you have sided with his enemy. And that you plan to have his mate killed. Let’s see how that will go.” The girls fall on their knees and burst into tears.
“Please Omega, have mercy on us. Please forgive us. We didn’t mean to get not any deal with Alpha Jovan. Just that he promised to give us a lot of money and we got carried away. I swear to the moon goddess, we haven’t planned anything against the supreme Luna yet. If you pardon us, we will cut off all ties we have with Alpha Jovan and dedicate our lives to serving Luna T0hea. Please do not report our sins to the Alpha. Please, I beg you!” The girls beg, almost crawling on the floor and I’m so amused by my skills that I have to look away from them so they don’t see the smile on my face.
That was too easy.
Way too easy.
I clear my throat and put on a serious look before turning to look at them once more.
“If you do not want to serve LunaAlora, you can resign. You reserve the right to do so. But if you want to keep serving her, then make up your mind to do so diligently. You cannot serve two masters at the same time. It’s either your loyalty is with her or with Jovan, but mind you, if you attempt to hurt her in any way, I will kill you both with my bare hands. Mark my words.” The girls flinch at my last statement and nod their heads.
I don’t know what they are agreeing to.
To serve Luna Alora diligently or to keep working with Jovan. I have no idea.
“You may leave my office.” Immediately, they both rise to their feet and rush out of my office. I lean back on the chair and let out a heavy sigh of exasperation.
There’s never a day that is not hectic.
Halle crosses my mind and without thinking twice, I pick my car keys from the table and rise to my feet.
I have to see her. We need to talk. I can’t keep living my day like this. We need to settle this issue so I can be able to think straight.
The drive to the pack training centre takes me less than ten minutes. The moment I alight from the car, I head straight to the private training quarters. It’s almost three pm, meaning training with Luna Alora for the day is over.
Perfect.
I walk into the arena and my heart skips a beat when I see her seated on the chair in a far corner, testing to tie her shoe lace.
“Halle.” I call with a raspy voice as I walk over to her. She quickly rises to her feet and stares at me in shock.
She can’t believe her eyes.
“Reed… what are you…” She finishes her statement in my mouth because I capture her lips in a hot, passionate kiss. My heart has careened out of control. My tongue digs deep into her mouth, savouring every inch of it and her little, breathless moan travels straight into my cock, making it rock hard. I almost sing when she kisses me back.
Yes baby!
That’s how it’s done!
By the time I break the case, we are both panting and out of breath. I kiss her forehead, I kiss the tip of her nose, both her cheeks, her chin. I plant tantalising kisses all over my face before baking away and giving her the most lovely look I’ve ever given anyone.
“I’m taking you out for a date tonight. Put on comfortable clothes. I’ll pick you up at eight at your apartment.” Then I turn around and start walking away, leaving her completely speechless. About five steps later, I recall something, so I stop in my tracks and turn to look at her once more.
“One more thing.” She blinks like a robot. “Don’t you ever walk out of me like that again. Ever?”
What she did earlier today pissed me off real bad!
It’s no fun being walked out on!
