Chapter 2 Mate

POV Theo

The limousine car drove at high speed across the streets in the downtown area of the Pack Wind region. Along the way I saw many luxurious skyscrapers with brightly highlighted lights. I leaned my back on the back of the car seat while looking at the cityscape that I rarely saw. My dark life is only about fighting arms with enemies, drinking wine, dealing with drug trafficking, killing, fighting for territory with other dark organizations, and so on. Yes… I was Theo Earl Andreas; Alpha mafia, the ruler of the underground business in the Kingdom of Uthaman.

I don't know how long I have been in the profession of a mafia and don't think about leaving the world that has given me great power. The Kingdom of Uthaman contains four powerful Packs; Pack Wind is located in the northern region, Pack Water is located in the eastern region, Pack Earth is located in the south, and Pack Fire is located in the western region.

I don't live in those four Packs. Instead, I live freely, wherever my feet lie, they will welcome me like a Tyrant King. My name is well known, anyone who lives in the dark world must know the name of Theo, the leader of the Black Lotus mafia organization. Not famous as a kind-hearted Alpha, but famous as a heartless Alpha who likes to behead werewolves.

“Mr. Theo, we have arrived at the elite bar owned by Alpha Alaric,” said Beta with a big stature. His head lowered politely in front of the windshield of the car I was riding in.

The passenger door was opened by my guards, then I quickly got out of my limousine. My eyes stared for a moment at the luxurious building belonging to the rich Alpha of Pack Wind.

“Make sure that tonight no one should disturb my peaceful time. If there are dissidents, get rid of them right away,” I ordered my guards, who had already turned into wolves. I am more comfortable with their wolf form than in human form.

The atmosphere on the first floor of the elite bar was instantly quiet when the four-meter-high iron door opened wide. The sound of DJ music stopped instantly, no werewolves dancing crazy as the sound of my leather shoes walking entered the first floor. The Omegas pressed their feet as my concentrated pheromones scented with a mixture of pine and citrus filled their noses. The Alphas and Betas who were less affected by pheromones chose to rewind their steps.

I'm certain if my charm captivates those women. My tall body wears an all-black suit with a black coat hanging lazily on my wide back. My ears clearly heard the compliments of how handsome and hot I was. However, I was very disgusted to see those who looked so cheesy. There was no smile pinned to my lips, and it added to the horror according to those looking at my face. Behind my body were five one-meter-tall Alpha and Beta-type wolves walking with violent faces and ready to tear apart the flesh of anyone trying to approach me.

My bright amber eyes saw Alpha Alaric running towards me. I'm certain if my arrival must have made him panic. A smirk was etched on my full lips as the bar owner acted strangely.

“Welcome, Alpha Theo.” Alpha Alaric lowered his body respectfully with both hands linked. “What do you need to come here? Because you don't usually visit my bar,” he continued with a smile that seemed awkward.

“Did my arrival bother you, Alaric?” I asked with both raised eyebrows. I put both my hands in my pants pockets with my chin up. Moreover, my gaze clearly cast a condescending look at this Alpha in front of me because I knew he was nothing more than a money worshiper and was good at playing tongues.

“Of course not, master. You are free to come here whenever you want. Let me take you to the VIP class special room.” Alpha Alaric lowered his body deeper. Then he personally escorted me towards the best VIP room that was on the sixth floor. From his sweaty face and stiff body language, I'm sure he's scared to death silly tonight.

The interior of this elite bar is stunning. It appears that Alaric likes the touch of gold and crystal so much that almost the entire building is made of that precious metal. My forehead shrank in astonishment when I saw the massive stage that was on the sixth floor. Many luxurious single sofas lined up neatly formed an arch as if to cover the stage.

“Tonight is remarkable because I'm going to auction off an Omega special. If you want, I can give you the best place ahead there.” Alaric's face looked radiant as he tried to offer me his Omega because I was notoriously rich with enormous power.

“Not interested,” I replied in a flat tone. Although I live in a dirty, dark world and full of gimmicks, but I am not lustful to buy Omega. Seeing them who were weak and smelled pungently made the Alpha wolf in my body groan uncomfortably.

“Ah… I see.” Alpha Alaric couldn't contain his disappointed face as I turned down his offer in a cruel tone. I'm sure he must be grumbling in annoyance at me.

I laughed loudly in my heart when I noticed that many werewolves working on the royal government were sitting on the sofa and participating in the Omega auction. Yes… they were nothing more than a pile of rubbish that liked to squander money from the withdrawal of the tribute of the little people that was always paid to the kingdom.

I closed my eyes as I leaned my big body on the maroon red plush single chair. My right hand shook the high-quality black wine quietly. My memory drifts back to the incident one month ago in the simple house in Pack Earth. Where when the red full moon, my hand beheaded Alpha Dean Laurelz, one of my confidants who had dared to betray. The bastard boldly reported all my crimes by stealing my secret files and then handing them over to the criminal intelligence agency of the Uthaman Kingdom. Although it didn't have any effect on me, but I was furious with Dean. I never forgave a betrayal, how close I was to it.

As I was about to clean up my blood-stained sword, suddenly a very voluptuous scent wafted from my high nose and made the Alpha wolf in my body squeal loudly. Just as I was about to chase the smell of pheromones, suddenly my bodyguard gave the news that I had to return to the branch headquarters in the southwest. Damn because I had a negotiating appointment with the leader of the Phoenix mafia organization from the west of Pack Fire. With a heavy heart, I drove away from Dean's house and promised to find someone with pheromones similar to the melt of honey and vanilla.

Exhaling heavily as those intoxicating pheromones never went away from my mind. Remembering it made my lust come out overflowing. That's why I'm here, in an elite bar owned by Alpha Alaric that has high-quality black wine. By drinking a lot of black wine, maybe I could get rid of the voluptuous pheromone shadows that have always kept my senses out of the way, trying to convince my wolf that the sweet pheromone is not real.

I opened both my eyes, clucking lazily as I saw a sea of werewolves screaming at each other offering exorbitant prices to get the Omega auctioned off by Alpha Alaric on the magnificent stage in front there.

“Poor omega,” I said quietly when I saw the tall girl in a white dress. From where I was, I could see a bit of her face that seemed to peek out from between the long white cloth covering her head. The tiny red lips seemed to tremble as some rich Alphas shouted high prices. Her two fair-skinned hands were handcuffed with iron and long chains. “So beautiful,” I praised when I saw her looking up face.

My nose moved as I inhaled the smell of vanilla pheromones and melted honey. The dangerous and real deep growl coming out of my throat made my five bodyguards dredge in fright. My intense dominant Alpha aura felt sharp, making their nape feathers bulge.

Suddenly, my sharp eyes widened, my hands gripped the fringe of the couch to shreds. Again, growling low as the sweet, voluptuous scent wafted through my nose, the scent I wanted to remove from my mind was now back. I straightened my body while looking far in front of the stage where Alaric was auctioning off Omega. My eyes widened when I saw clearly the Omega looked fragile with a frightened face as well as cheeks that had been wet with tears.

I've never felt like my passion was easily ignited like this. But just inhaling the beautiful Omega pheromone on the stage over there, my passion dared to overflow. My forehead wrinkled, confused. My brain that used to produce brilliant ideas is now thinking hard. Not understanding what was going on with me, my heart jumped wildly just by looking at Omega's beautiful face. My golden yellow pupils dilated as I began to understand the signs I was currently experiencing had explained it all.

“She's my Mate, my soulmate. That beautiful Omega is mine!” The wolf on my body screamed in excitement. Without saying twice, my legs ran quickly towards the door then broke it hard. I didn't care when my five bodyguards chased me screaming frantically.

The sweet pheromone got thicker, making my heart beat so fast that my blood flowed freely in every muscle of my veins.

I ran very fast and then jumped high and landed right on the auction stage. My lips clucked in annoyance at the sight of Alaric standing in the center of the stage as if blocking me.  

“Theo, what are you doing here?!” he asked with a rather high intonation. He spread his hands together as if blocking my sight from staring at my Omega. 

“Get out of the way of my face if you would rather not die in vain.” The sharp gaze I threw at him managed to get him out of the way. With hurried steps, he stepped off the stage, even tripped over his feet several times.

I let out a low growl, walking slowly towards the Omega, who was bowing her head. My wolf instinct could feel if she was frightened. My domineering, sharp aura clearly made her take two steps back.

My ears heard a gasp from her lips as a pair of my leather shoes were in front of her bare feet. I swallowed hard as my nose inhaled pheromones similar to the smell of honey melts and vanilla. The Alpha wolf that was on my body screamed happily, wishing to throw himself over and hug the Omega who was standing right in front of me.

“Raise your face, little one.” My hand lifted her chin so that our eyes met and looked at each other.

“Y-you?!” Her round eyes with bright-green pupils dilated as her head looked up, looking at me with a look I couldn't interpret. 

That soft, deep voice made me growl again. My feet stepped forward so that there was no distance between us. Then my arms grabbed her slender waist, pulling her closer until our bodies were perfectly pressed together. Making the werewolves in this elite bar squeal and some even screaming to see the scene in front of their eyes.

“What's your name?” I asked her, who was still silent with her innocent face that seemed to harbor anxiety. From her body language, I knew she was uncomfortable being in my arms. But, I don't care. 

“Damelza,” she replied in a soft voice, making the wolf inside my body squirm comfortably. I smiled, and then I ducked to press my forehead against her.

“You are so sweet and beautiful, my Omega.” I re-tightened my arms around her slender waist, pointing my nose at her tiny nose. 

“What?!” Damelza's startled voice sounded funny, making me smile wittily. Ah… it appears that my Omega needs real evidence from me. 

I opened the collar of the black shirt I was wearing, revealing my right neck, which displayed a wind vortex sign with a triangle inside. 

However, one thing makes me not understand. Why is her face like a person who has been hit by heavy shock? Is she not happy if I become her Mate so that her beautiful eyes seem to be teary?
