Chapter 119 - 118. The Unmated Dominant

Winnie stormed into the room and slammed the door behind him. He was fuming. Nobody ever dared to put him under the spot in front of other people. The male omega started to pace up and down to quell his anger but nothing helped.

"How dare he…? This little fake omega. Who does he think he is?"

A smirk distorted the features of his perfectly proportioned face and Winnie strode to the standing mirror in the corner of his room. He locked eyes with his reflection, his icy blue eyes shining with anger.

"I'm going to give him his money back! This little shit of an omega! Just because he has a pretty face he thinks he's everything? No one ever wanted him. I'm going to seduce his alpha and make him my lackey, I won't be satisfied until he's drowning in despair. Night! "

He yelled the name and a bit after, someone knocked twice on the door to ask permission to enter. Winnie plopped down on the bench seat in front of the dressing table decorated with a large mirror and crossed his arms over his chest, annoyed.

"I called you, why are you fucking knocking like I didn't know you were coming? Just come in already, you dumbass!"

"So-sorry Winnie!"

"I want you to find a way to separate Bloodhood's omega from his mate!"

"Why? If I may ask…" added the man, lowering his head after receiving a death glare from the omega.

After a sigh showing his deep annoyance, the werewolf agreed to answer his packmate's question.

"Why? Because I'm going to make this alpha mine! An omega like Bloodhood's doesn't deserve an alpha like that."

"But the alpha already marked him!" the man protested, his eyes widening slightly after hearing the omega's request.

"I bet Silver Bloodhood threatened this poor thing to mark his son. Didn't you hear what I said? Nobody ever wanted him, why would such an interesting alpha lay eyes on this…" He wrinkled his nose in total disgust. "This feral golden-furred omega? I'm sure they set up this whole fated mate thing, as well as the scene at the banquet to allow this golden savage to save face after getting so many rejections. Fated mate? Pfft! Let me laugh! They think we are dumb?"

The dominant remained silent. He is used to indulging Winnie's whims and desires. The omega, son of Caius Blackbones, the beta of Green Lake, had managed, without anyone knowing how, to put most of the dominants of his pack at his feet. 

Drunk in power, he kept increasing the level of his demands and this time was no exception.

However, the dominant felt that this time, nothing would go as Winnie wanted. Still, he couldn't go against the male omega's demands. Whatever the omega asks, like all the others, he could only obey.

He lowered his head and took his leave to arrange things as the male omega had ordered. As soon as the dominant left his room, Winnie opened the drawer of his dressing table. He took out a box and lifted the lid. A smile curved his lips and his long fingers gripped the vial filled with black liquid.

Since he had met this witch who had sold him this potion, his life had completely changed. No dominant resisted him. Everyone in the pack had become his lackeys and obeyed his wishes like they were commands.

A single sip of this potion was enough for his seduction pheromones to turn into a scent trap that lured the dominants and put him under his grip.

"Hm, I guess it's been a while since my last take, that's why my pheromones didn't work on him right away." He popped off the cork and lifted the vial to his lips.

Winnie let the sip of potion slide down his esophagus and licked his lips to catch every drop. He didn't have another one so it shouldn't be wasted. He was sure, once he manages to get his hands on this alpha, he will have achieved his goal. With such a strong Dominant, he could even become a Luna and step out of the shadows.

That's it. Once he stole his alpha from Bloodhood's omega, he was going to leave Green Lake and start a new pack with him. He was sure everything would work out the way he wanted. After all, no one could resist him.

Winnie got up from the bench seat and walked over to the standing mirror. Standing inches in front of the object, he caressed the skin of his face and a smirk twisted his features.

________

"We have no idea who he is and, trust me, it would make it easier for us to find out. Sora's mother has been in poor condition since the birth of the little omega and her health is only getting worse.

That's why when Sora started behaving strangely, I thought it would be a good idea to let her be with the Soul Healers for a while, if, as I suspect, she had inherited gifts similar to their abilities.

As you guess, it's unusual for a werewolf to have a child without a mate, however, Sora's mother arrived in Green Lake already pregnant.

"'Arrived', what do you mean? She was a rogue?"

"Indeed, you guessed very well. Rogue life is hard and I guess upon realizing her condition, she wanted to give Sora a better chance by taking advantage of the treaty signed after the Big Bloodshed.

She hadn't expected that the pregnancy would have such an impact on her health. We tried several times to ask her who the father was, not to interfere in her private life, of course, but so that Sora wouldn't be alone if ever…"

Cyrus Blackbones sighed. Eden and Glen could see how much Sora's situation worried the leader. Although usually, the death of the parents of a werewolf child wasn't a problem, given the omega girl's gifts and the way she was treated by her packmates, the leader must have feared that no one in the pack would take her in if something bad happens to her mother.

Greg and Connor were listening to the conversation from a safe distance, and neither of them had reacted or shown any signs of betraying their thoughts.

Outside, Cliff was waiting with Sora who was munching on fruits. The serious discussion was taking a little too long for her liking and she wanted to go find her mother as soon as possible. Sitting on Cliff's lap, Sora cast an annoyed glance at the closed door behind which everyone was. She was in her werewolf form because that's how she was the most comfortable. The omega girl shoved another piece of peach into her mouth causing her cheeks to puff out. A trickle of juice ran down her chin.

"Sora! Be careful, you get it everywhere!" The Soul Healer grabbed the cloth napkin lying next to the plate of fruit and wiped the little omega's face.

"Hm Hm Hmm!"

"What?"

"They are slow!" She repeated after swallowing her bite.

Just as the words left her mouth, the door opened to reveal Greg and Connor. Sora climbed down from Cliff's lap to rush towards the two men.

________

Sora walked, dragging behind her Connor and Greg, whom she was holding by the hand. 

The little omega led the walk along the path to the house where her mother lived.

"Eden? Eden?"

"Hmm?" The blond came to his senses and turned his head towards his mate who was walking beside him.

"You were completely lost in thought."

"Hm, I was thinking. I think Sora's mother must have known about the father. The fact that he is a Skinwalker I mean. This would explain why she refuses to say anything about him even today as her condition deteriorates."

"Probably. I wonder if the latter is aware of the existence of Sora.

They looked at the small werewolf with the bright white fur waving in their direction. When they waved back to her, she immediately pointed to a small wooden house, wedged between two larger ones. A big smile lit up her face and she rushed up the porch stairs to open the door.

Sora entered the house without waiting for anyone. She went to a bedroom and opened the door without knocking.

"Mummy!"

Lying on her bed, a woman turned her face, just in time to open her arms and grab the little werewolf who was jumping on top of her, screaming and giggling.

"I'm back!"

"I can see that," the woman commented with a soft smile, nodding politely in greeting to Cliff, who was hesitant to enter the room and was standing in the doorway. "I see that she is even more lively and dynamic than before." The woman laughed and ran her fingers through the white fur with the tenderness only a mother can show.

"Yes, and it's a real challenge to keep up with her every day," retorted the Soul Healer, crossing his arms over his chest.

Despite everything, Sora's mother saw the faint smile that curved his mouth.

"Thank you again for taking care of her."

"You know Mom, I have a lot of big brothers now!"

"Yes?"

"At first I didn't like Eden but now it's fine, I think he's nice! There is also Glen. He's big and his wolf is huuuuuuge! Almost as big as the roof," she said raising her tiny clawed finger to point above her. "But my favorites are Connor and Greg. Big Brother Connor is funny, he knows lots of funny games and Big Brother Greg is sweet and soft! They play all the time with me."

As Sora kept talking, her mother smelled several scents she had never encountered before. Four men appeared behind the Soul Healer and Eden greeted her with a smile.

"Do you mind if we talk to you for a bit?"

Silence fell after a while. Nube Hazel had managed to calm her little tornado which had fallen asleep quickly after her arrival and the female dominant had told her story when Eden confronted her.

To show her that she could trust them, the male omega immediately told her about the Blue Moon tribe. When she heard the name of Skinwalkers' tribe, a veil of sadness fell over the werewolf's eyes and she began to tell them her story.

"So that's what happened…"

"You must think that I'm stupid for thinking that he would choose me instead of taking a member of his tribe as his mate. You know their rules. However, I loved him so much… The day when he told me that he had finally taken a woman from the tribe as his mate was also the day when I was about to tell him that I was pregnant with Sora. "Her hands tightened on the sheet that covered her. "I was really…"

"You haven't done anything you could be ashamed to. Even though he betrayed you, you protect his and his tribe's secret. I think that says a lot about the kind of person you are. He's the one who doesn't know what he lost so chin up!" Eden says to comfort her.

"What's this man's name?" Glen asked.

"Trevor. Trevor Woodenbridge."

Just as they were about to react to the mention of the name, they heard someone near the house. A few long seconds later, a werewolf entered after knocking. They heard his footsteps getting close to the bedroom and, the next moment, a dominant nodded in greeting and immediately turned to Glen.

"Alpha Cyrus has received a message from your Alpha, Silver Bloodhood, announcing something about an ancient ritual and would like to speak with you."

Glen and Eden exchanged a look at his words. Their alpha wasted no time and they were going to be faced with the first reaction. The couple was already walking over to the door but the dominant stopped Eden.

"No, Alpha Cyrus would like to speak with your mate alone."

"Alone?" Eden asked, astonished.

Glen shrugged and moved closer to his omega to kiss him on the forehead.

"I'll see what's going on and I'll be right back."

The blond nodded and opened his eyes which he had closed feeling the lips on his skin. When the front door of the house closed behind his mate, he sent a link to the latter.

[Be careful, I feel something strange, this dominant stank of the same pheromones as the omega earlier.]

[Don't worry my love, I smelled it too.. I will quickly take care of him and I will be right back.]
