Venom’s POV
I immediately kept myself in a stance to fight.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“What the heck is happening, man?” I was irritated.
“Exactly what you see. I don’t take lightly to other alphas coming to my pack to find out about my people.”
The men had arrived and only waited for the monologue between us to end before attacking. They were a piece of cake, but what defied my understanding was Alpha Maximum’s reaction.
“I need to f**cking save my mate and you say this?”
“Please, leave in peace otherwise, this wouldn’t be a friendly conversation any more.”
I walked out of the place in anger and couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed and experienced. The man was behaving disgracefully.
I got out and went to my car, I sat there fuming. Everything pointed to going to war with the man. At least, to feed the omegas who were led by him and suffered dearly for being who they were.
I drove off and followed the path through which I had come. There was no solution in the pack house. I thought about the locals and asking them questions.
It was almost evening and I had not gotten somewhere yet, time wasn’t at my disposal.
I looked for the nearest market where I could park and meet with the people.
The place seemed quite crowded for the evening, but if was still at my benefit. I searched for somewhere safe to park and set out my journey on foot.
All I could see as I stepped into the market were people who sold livestocks and food. I had still not seen someone selling herbs and medicines. They were the people I wanted to go to.
After going back and forth for a bit, I resorted to questioning the butcher who I had passed by twice.
“Hey, good evening.” I greeted him.
“Are you going to buy meat?” There was a scattered queue and people were inspecting what they would get.
“Do you know where I could get strong herbs or maybe meat and healer? I have an omega who is sick and from hell’s pit.”
His reaction was different and I guessed it was due to what we all shared the same knowledge of.
“Yes, I do. My mother is one, an hybrid at that, you don’t find many healers of such cases around and I suggest you don’t just go around asking.”
At that point, I was just wary of everything and everyone in the pack.
“It’s urgent. When can I get to see her? That would be until after work, sir, but I can help.” He explained to me.
“Close up your shop and I would be more than willing to pay in twenty folds or what you would have made tonight.”
His face changed, “who are you?”
“Just do as I say and you will be highly rewarded.” I told him. I thought about it and decided I would just keep my status as alpha hidden from the people for now, it didn’t exactly seem safe in the area.
The man did as I said with a smile on his face and I only stood there waiting for him. After him, I would simply go back to my pack and maybe go to the dark witches.
They were forbidden and that was why I had not gone to them yet, but maybe bending the rules for Maya wouldn’t be too great of a big deal.
I was desperate.
He finally finished and I sighed, he had to send the people that had been waiting for him away and they grumbled as they left. They were by the least my worries.
” So, let’s go.”
We got into my car and following his directions, I was navigating my place to his house. It felt funny that I had somehow managed to reach someone who exactly had a solution.
I only prayed the gods would be nice enough to let things work in my favor.
“Then turn to the left and we would be right there.” He instructed.
I navigated just as he had spoken and I was surprised to see that he lived in his own home. It had an old school design which made me assume inheritance.
“Let’s go in, sir and please, be ready to meet your end of the bargain.” It was clear that he was beginning to doubt already.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be settled accordingly, u won’t fail you.”
He nodded and we went in.
I thought I would meet an age old woman in the house but I was surprised she was only a but a young lady.
“Mom, I’ve got a visitor. He needs help.” The man told his mother.
“Please, take your sit.” The woman addressed me.
I sat down and I was in awe and surprise at what I was experiencing.
“Would you like to have anything to eat, sir?” She said calmly. Her voice was gentle and I was convinced there was witchcraft begin what I was seeing, but witchcraft was only banned in our side.
Maybe it wasn’t in the Mountain pack, here.
“I think I’ll be satisfied with water, nothing more, please.” I told her politely.
She went in with her son and I waited patiently for them to arrive. I tried listening in on them, but I couldn’t make out the words they spoke.
It was abstruse to me.
They took a while, but they came out.
“So, my son, what has brought you here?” She asked me.
Seeing a young lady like that hold that kind of conversation with me was unsettling, but that was the least of things.
I began to narrate the things that happened in regards to Maya the last few days, I hoped there would be a chance for her to be able to do something to help.
“I think I know what’s going on, but I would have to see her.” She told me.
” When do we set out?” I asked her.
She looked surprised at what I had said, “we can’t.”
