85 Omega?

I wonder if I am able to do the same to Eros if I ever bite him.

Then again, with his superior healing it might not even scar.

"Anything interesting happen while I was gone?" I asked out of curiosity, noting that she was leading me in a different direction than Eros' room.

"Not too many things.." she trailed off and paused, glancing at me, "...Zanthos is now a part of the pack again."

"What do you mean Zanthos is part of the pack again?" I was sincerely confused at this point while this sort of bad feeling settled in my stomach.

I wonder how he managed to become pack again, especially since he was the mastermind behind my kidnapping and all.

It didn't make too much sense that Eros would let him become a pack member again.

"He submitted to Alpha Eros' beast and pledged loyalty to the pack as a member. He cannot go against Alpha Eros' orders without dying," she explained, leading us down a winding hallway.

But does this mean I still have to put up with his crap?

What if he decides to send me off to some other foreign country again?

I don't think I would have any money left to get myself back to the states.

I don't know what to think of this 'good' news.

"Although he is a member now, it does not mean that he has not been punished," she informed. "Alpha Eros has changed his rank in the pack to Omega."

Omega?

I couldn't help the slight evil chuckle that bubbled up my throat at the thought of proud and creepy Zanthos becoming an Omega in the pack!

An Omega!

Ha!

Take that Zanthos!

I wonder how he feels to be moved from Alpha clear down to Omega.

That must really be a big blow to his oversized ego.

Why wasn't I there to see it?

I frowned.

What a bummer.

"He is in charge of maintenance of the packhouse, lawn care, plumbing and cafeteria service for the next 100 years."

I could see the corner of her mouth twitch when she said this because it was obvious that even Rora found Zanthos' situation rather hilarious and suitable for his deeds.

Yet I couldn't help the widening of my eyes at her last statement.

100 years of plumbing and maintenance? That sounds terrible!

I'm sure that the pack members, who are probably extremely happy over his current predicament, are taking advantage of being able to boss him around.

There are probably handful of people who want to make trouble for him now by messing with the toilets or destroying things just to see him struggle to fix it.

I wouldn't doubt it at all.

I think I would have been one of those people.

"Has his work been busy?" I asked, although I already knew the answer.

"Extremely," she replied with several fierce nods.

I cackled a bit on the inside, thriving on the fact that he was suffering—although, I shouldn't.

"He deserves it," I say with a shrug of my shoulders. "But where are we going exactly?"

"There's someone waiting to see you." Rora led me into a darkened hallway and unlocked a door before opening it for my view.

I hesitated slightly before entering the room, nervously looking around until I spotted the person sitting on the couch.  

My heart was nearly startled out of my body.

Her long ash blonde hair was curled in pretty tendrils, golden skin glowed in the light with angel kisses sprinkled on them, and plump heart-shaped lips were pursed into a frown.

Ani's bright green eyes swiveled to my direction.

Anira?

Ani?

What was my younger sister doing here of all places?

"You guys locked her up?" I was incredulous about the fact that they had kept her captive for who knows how long.

She should have been back in her lab creating things like the higher up scientist that she was, not sitting here in this locked up room looking like a Queen without a throne.

How in the world did they manage to get their hands on her?

Ani is also a scientist that works for the government like me.

The only difference is that I worked in the research department while she was in charge of developing hunters and advancing them into the genetically altered form that they are now.

We both have done a lot of ′good′ for the world.
