MAYA.
I was still trying to grapple with the gravity of what I had heard when the guard who had been standing there suddenly turned towards me. He cocked his head to the side and put his hand on the handle of his knife before coming towards me. My heart started beating very fast.
I knew he must have discovered that something was horribly wrong. He stopped in front of me and kept looking at me.
“Who are you?” He asked me in a very deep but threatening voice. That was all I needed to know that he had discovered what was going on. I didn’t say anything for a while and then made an attempt to deepen my voice.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“I was assigned to the meeting,” I said, sounding like a frog. I nearly burst out laughing because of the way I sounded and that’s when he realised he had been filled. He pulled out his sword to fight me but I kicked it off his hands and made an attempt to escape.
But he was very fast. He grabbed me and pushed me back before trying to wrap his hands around my body. I kicked him on the shin immediately and he let out a howl of pain before falling to the floor. With another surge of adrenaline, I managed to knock him unconscious with a cruel kick to the temple.
As soon as that happened, I hissed a curse under my breath and started walking quickly towards the entrance of the Packhouse. Miraculously, he hadn’t notified any of the other guards when he noticed something was wrong. And none of them had noticed that something was off in the first place.
That was a price to pay for thinking that he could defeat an Omega girl, the weakest of the weak. I walked through the entrance in the same fashion that I’d done and made my way back to the restroom where I changed a second time and walked back to the Pack hospital.
My heart was racing very fast because I’d just taken the riskiest mission in my entire life. It could have been the end for me if any of them discovered I was there and had me reported. First of all, the doors would have been blocked and guards would have surrounded the Packhouse to make sure there was no escape.
I returned the clothes to the room where the guard was still sleeping making sure that no one would suspect my involvement in the events that had transpired. As I caught my breath, I couldn’t help but think if this was the right time to leave and go back but I had to wait till the evening because Tianna was surely busy with her work at the laundry.
The most important thing was that I had been able to pull this off without getting caught. Now I just had to get my things ready and escape before word got around that there was an enemy lurking. Once it was evening and my work had ended, I started walking back to the quarters.
My mind was still reeling from what had happened during the day. What I had just learned felt so heavy on my shoulders, I couldn’t believe I was going to get all the information I needed in just one single day. The meeting of the Alphas had already finished by now, so there was nothing to fear about.
However, while walking across the Packhouse, I noticed that the Alphas were outside in the garden, discussing with others. They were still around. I started to look around for Alpha Orion and it wasn’t long before I found him. He was in deep conversation with no other person than Alpha Ryker.
I looked up to see the Prince on the balcony, overlooking all that was happening. I focused back my attention on Orion who seemed to be in a pleasant discussion with the evil Alpha. I could feel my heart beating again at the sight of him, he was the embodiment of treachery. I was still looking at him when he suddenly turned in my direction as if he felt I’d been looking.
“Shit” I hissed and turned away before hurrying. I had made a very stupid mistake, I thought. If he told the Alpha who I was, then that was surely going to be the end of me. But I hoped he didn’t recognise me. I hurried back to the quarters and slid into my room with a smile on my face.
At least I’d been able to finish everything that I’d set out to achieve today even though some of them came when I least expected. Tianna was fast asleep when I entered. I shook her awake. She was putting on her work clothes and was sleeping! I could only wonder what had made her so tired. Perhaps Emily had shown her what hell looked like.
She looked so exhausted and complained as I made her sit. “I need to sleep.” She groaned before trying to go back to bed.
I explained what was going on to her immediately. “We need to leave the Pack as soon as possible. I found what we’ve been looking for.” I announced, and her eyelids fluttered open instantly. Her eyes were red. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
She must have been through hell and back today. “Wh-what do you mean?” She said in a sleepy voice while staring dreamily at me.
“I found the traitor who has been causing this. I found him today and we need to go back and inform Venom before it’s too late. Ryker is about to launch an attack on our Pack anytime soon. And he plans to mobilise the warriors of more than thirty Packs against us. Tianna we have to pack our things and get ready to leave. Tomorrow night isn’t bad, or in the morning before dawn.” I added. Her eyes widened in shock as I explained everything that had happened.
When she finally fell asleep, I was happy that she had at least gotten an earful and was ready to leave. That was the moment a heavy knock sounded on the door.
