His compliment induced a disturbing reaction she felt inside.
She flushed scarlet"Really?" She certainly couldn't understand him. One minute he was icy then the other minute, he was complimenting her. She knew better than to get her hopes up. After all, it could be a one off from him."I'll tell you what you need to know about Alexis now" he said, ignoring her question. That was exactly what she thought about just now. He was so fickle."My sister's hair doesn't have golden strands on it, so I'll get someone to do your hair, so Calvin notices nothing" he said sternly. She thought as much."You guys have wolf hairdressers?" It sounded funny as she said it"If you put it like that, no we don't. It's just a couple of omega wolves who are skilled at doing my sister's hair""Okay.... What else should I know about Alexis?""She's funny, troublesome like I told you... she loves food""There isn't much to change about myself " she smiled. "I love food too""Um not food, actually " he looked uncomfortable. "she loves meat, I mean flesh, from our hunts"The thought of eating raw flesh nauseated her. She almost barfed. And here she thought she was making headway."She doesn't eat normal food?" Davina asked"She does. We all do, but she loves being carnivorous""That'll be a problem because I can't eat ---""We'll figure out something when the time comes" he said"She leaves the alpha's domain every now and then. She spends most of her time with Calvin and Gigi""Who's Gigi?""She's a guardian wolf. She guards the omegas" he replied "she's my sister's best friend"Guardian wolf and omegas? How many things did she have to know about this place?"I don't know how to be friendly with Gigi" she said. She barely had any friends when she lived with Maxine. Her life was pretty dictated. She figured if she was going to play the role of Alexis, then she had to be friends with Gigi too which was going to be difficult."It won't be that hard. Gigi has been told about your fake memory loss. So you don't have to worry about what to say to her" he said as she winced at the choice of words he used. 'fake memory loss?' well it was fake because she hadn't actually lost her memory, it was just something everyone had to believe, to cover the fact that she wasn't Alexis."Alexis likes wearing her hair in a ponytail. So you'll work on that too" he said"She's tolerant, hardly ever gets offended, she doesn't hold grudges, and she's a cheerful person" he explained furtherShe gulped. Alexis was a total opposite of her. She held grudges like crazy, she wasn't tolerant and she's was quick tempered. How was she going to change herself now?Dante noticed her discomfort"It's a gradual process, Davina. I know you're a totally different person from my sister but we'll get through this together " he saidShe suddenly felt comforted. How did he do that? How did just a single speech from him change how she felt?"Thanks" she smiled shylyHe didn't reply for a bit, then he said"Today's Monday, and it's the day that Calvin usually attends to wolves around the various packs" he began. "Betas of different packs bring the problems of the wolves under them to the alpha. They bring problems that they cannot solve so Calvin can solve it for them ""Okay....?" She prompted"Midway through the session, Alexis usually goes to Calvin to give him some sort of comfort ""What type of comfort?" She asked"I don't know, she just stays with him, somehow, her presence alone, comforts him and eases some of the burden of being an alpha" he repliedWow! She thought, so Alexis did that much? She wondered how strong her love for Calvin was. Was she going to love Calvin the way Alexis did?"So you're saying I'll go and meet Calvin now?" She asked"Bingo!" He exclaimed "the time is now, the session has gone midway so here's your cue""Now?" She reiterated because she began to panic. Of course why wouldn't she? This was the first time she was going to meet Calvin and be in the same space as him. Was she going to pull it off?"Davina." He called in a soft tone as he noticed her agitation. He placed his hand on hers. His touch instantly calmed her down."All you have to do is stay beside him. You don't have to say anything that will give you away. They all think you have memory loss. It's only you and I that know the truth. You got this!"She inhaled and exhaled like twice. She had to pull this off. Her life and her stay here depended on it."I'm ready " she smiled"That's great" he removed his hand. How did he manage to calm her down always."Thanks again"Ignoring her gratitude, he stood up and went to a drawer in the room. In it, contained clothes, some were made with animal skin whilst some were the normal clothes she knew. He picked a blue floral gown and brought it to her."Those are Alexis clothes which you'll now be wearing. I'll call the omegas to attend to you" he said as she took the dress."Okay..." She said slowly"I'll be back" he strode off.Seconds later, four women entered the room. One was elderly, while the rest looked her age. They all bowed to her, simultaneously."We are here to get you ready" the elderly lady said"Right" as nervous as she was, she sat through the whole preparation. She was thankful that she was allowed to take her bath by herself. She could only handle this much.Minutes later, she was ready. The golden strands on her hair were dyed to blend with the brown colour the rest of her hair and maybe, Alexis hair had. She had worn the blue dress and it fitted her. She doubted if they had makeup here because they'd only applied powder on her face."We're done, Alexis. Do you need anything else?" The elderly omega lady spoke"Nope, thanks" she replied.They bowed again and they left.Seconds later, Dante came in. He did a double take when he saw her"You're way more beautiful than my sis" he said as he stared at herShe knew that he'd said that to her before but she felt some type of way when he said it again. She looked down, she didn't want him to see her flushing deeply.He approached her now. He came closer than he already was to her and it made her move back a little, but he kept on coming closer to her.She didn't understand the look he gave her. It seemed dark and made her shudder. He kept coming as she moved back but stopped when she tripped on something behind her, she didn't fall because he shot out his arms and grabbed her.Davina hoped he didn't hear her heart thumping because she now stood so close to him, her hands were balled into fists and they rested on him. She'd watched this scene in movies, where the guy breaks the girl's fall and they indulge in gaze locking. She didn't know it'll happen to her.He leaned in and for a moment, she thought he was going to kiss her, instead, he brought out a flower and inserted it into her hair. Then he removed his hand from her waist as he steadied her."Alexis usually put flowers in her hair" he said.It was crazy how her thoughts escalated. How could she think he was going to kiss her? She certainly wasn't his sister but she looked like his sister. It'll be foolish to assume things now, but what was that look he gave her?"Go now, Calvin is waiting""You haven't compensated the families?" Calvin asked a Beta, who stood in front of him. Today was his most dreaded day of the week. It was the day when his wisdom had to be used and stretched. He'd managed to solve a couple of problems from packs and he'd left the wolves satisfied. He was always tensed during this day."No, Calvin" replied the Beta. The problem he faced now was with a family, who's child had been killed in a measly fight. The child wasn't able to shift into a wolf because he or she hadn't triggered their curse. The killer of the child had now triggered their curse. In their world, humans who haven't began to shift into wolves had to trigger a curse. In order for them to do that, they had to kill someone. They had to kill either a human who hadn't began to shift, or a human who could shift into a wolf. It's called a curse because whenever a wolf newly began to shift, transforming during a full moon was very painful. The new wolf had to feel every bone in his or her
Minutes later, he watched Raymond enter with Amber. They both had this confident aura surrounding them. Like they both celebrated a silent victory."Hello, brother" Raymond's gruff voice filled the room. "Hi baby" Amber greeted too.They both helped themselves to a seat."To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" He smirked at them. If only they knew that he'd won and they'd lost..."The last I checked, you sent an omega to me, to make a bargain for your mate's safe return. You don't seem to be interested again. Do you want her dead?"Raymond asked.Alpha Calvin smiled to himself. So they didn't know? They didn't know that she'd escaped? Foolish set of people. They hadn't even mastered the art of kidnapping."I have no interest in engaging in a duel with you, Raymond. I intend to retain my alpha tittle, till I die" he said to them, in a firm voice."Darn it! " Raymond cursed loudly. "You were eager to see your mate before. What's suddenly changed?""You can keep whoever you have,
Amber waited until she got into the beta's domain, then she let out a furious shriek. She pushed ancient artefacts down and she shattered glass. She wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole. She'd failed again. She'd lost Calvin to that whore again. She remembered how they flirted with eachother. How that slutty girl sat on Calvin's lap and tried to kiss him. She felt nauseated. Her man was being snatched from her, yet again and she had no control over it. She let out a loud scream again as she shattered more glass. Her skin bled and healed severally but she didn't care. She didn't feel any pain. The pain of losing her alpha to someone else covered it all. She let out another scream."Amber!" Raymond roared at her. "I let you destroy my precious artefacts but I won't let you block my ear with your shouts" She'd forgotten where she was. She'd forgotten that this wasn't where she lived, she was at Raymond's house. "He--- he ignored me", she said to Raymond as her chest tight
She scoffed. This wasn't solely her fault. Raymond lacked oversight too. He failed to notice that Alexis hadn't died."You only attacked her with wolfsbane" he said "You didn't confirm if she was dead. That was your careless mistake""And you're innocent? You didn't also confirm. I agree I was with her. I attacked her and she bled and stopped moving. What did you want me to think? That she was paralyzed instead of dead?" She fumed at him"Amber, that's it! That's what I'm referring to. You lack meticulosity""What do you mean? Aren't we in the same situation? You are not blameless because you made the same mistake I made" She argued."I didn't" he disagreed. "I only acted upon the impression you gave me. You made me think she was dead" Amber could attest to that. She panicked so much when Alexis stopped moving. Anyone who was with her would think that Alexis was dead. She was sure Alexis died at her hands. But it turned out that she didn't die after all.That girl who sat on Calvin'
Davina woke up early. In fact, she'd been waking up early since she arrived at this universe. She found it difficult to sleep soundly as she tried to get used to the new environment, but it didn't bother her much because she had always been a morning person.All she had to do was press a small button in her room if she wanted help from any of the omegas but she didn't press any button even if she needed help because she figured they'd still be sleeping by now.Not knowing what to do to busy herself on such an early morning, she covered herself with some clothes and quietly stepped out of her room. She was going to take a stroll round the environment. She hoped she wouldn't get lost because this domain or whatever was very large and she didn't know her way around yet.The day had just begun to break so she could see her way around, identify some people who had already woken up. They'd already started cleaning and some were trimming the grasses. They were very quiet about it and they bo
The omegas bathed her and dressed her up in preparation for her martial arts class with Maggie. Then she was led to the venue which was a lonely and quiet field.Maggie was a five feet tall lady who was a little ripped. She had a brown coloured hair which she plaited in two. She bowed slightly and made a brief introduction of herself. Twenty six years old and a guardian wolf. Apparently, a guardian to the omegas.She started teaching Davina the basics of martial arts before they progressed. She made Davina come at her while she defended herself, which was a total flop on Davina's part, for she couldn't even land a proper punch. At the end of the session, they had a little pep talk and it helped to lift Davina's spirit a bit.She practiced what she'd learnt alone in her room before she fell asleep before dinnertime.The next morning, she demanded the the class should begin before sunrise in order for her to achieve a lot. Maggie followed her instructions and they began. Davina learnt
Davina let out a startled gasp and jumped off of Dante's body.She had been so engrossed in her moment with Dante that she didn't realise that she was being watched by Calvin. The amount of guilt she felt right now was immeasurable. How could she be doing this? How did she get so carried away?She saw Calvin's deadpan expression and she coughed awkwardly. "Um... Calvin, I didn't realise..." She attempted to speak but her voice trailed off."You got so into it, didn't you?" Calvin asked as he watched his wide eyed mate. He didn't know why she felt so awkward. It felt as though she didn't want to get caught training with his beta. Too late, because he'd been watching them for a while now. He felt bad about not been able to see his mate for these past few days because he'd been so swamped with work; concerns of the pack, so when he got the report from his beta; Dante that he was going to train with his mate, he decided to wrap up his work, then go see how well his mate had learnt marti
Later that night, Davina couldn't sleep as she rolled continuously on her queen sized bed. After spending some time with Calvin, she had a light dinner and some omega wolves were dispatched to her room to prepare her for bed.But then she couldn't sleep because the pain she felt from her sprained ankle tripped overnight. She tried to force herself to sleep by having sweet and peaceful thoughts of Calvin but it was useless.Now she sat up and rested her back on the bed rest. Her ankle had swollen a bit and she bet it would get worse if she didn't do something about it now.She knew she just had to press a button in her room and they'd come running to her but she didn't want to yet because she felt bad to disrupt their sleep.Dinner had been concluded a long time ago and from the silence that fell, she knew that everyone would be deep asleep by now. Except her though.She too deserved sleep but her sprained ankle wasn't letting her have some. She decided to be quick. They'd just get an
