Viraai: (Book 3) Resistance.

| 8 | Red Dawn Territory.

D A M I E N

Moments after Kayla fled...

"What do you mean you lost her?!" I boom at the Pack Guards I sent to go after the Omega. They came back without her and I'm fuming, I mean what kind of Pack Guards are they if they couldn't even carry out one simple task.

Catch her and bring her back. That was all I asked.

"She... Was too fast for us Damien." One of the 4 men speaks.

"That's Alpha Damien to you! The girl hasn't even shifted and you're telling me that she was too fast?!" I yell at them.

"We believe that she may be a Sprinter-" Tey trail off and I check my head in irritation.

"Impossible." I let out bluntly. There was no way that that pathetic Omega possesses the power of a Sprinter. It's simply impossible.

"If that's your excuse for letting her slip through your fingers then fine. But so help me God, if you don't find her I'll-!"

"Easy there, son." I am interrupted by my Father's voice making me turn to the door to find him walking into my new office with my mom by his side.

"Harold, take your men and return to your stations at the border. After today's incident, we don't want anyone getting in or out of this territory without our knowledge." He speaks with his usual authoritative tone.

"Yes, Alpha." They say, purposely disrespecting me. I am the new Alpha here, so why are they still referring to my Father as the Alpha.

Un-f*****g-believable.

"Damien, why are you so worried about this one girl? She is just an Omega." My Father catches my attention, making me frown to myself as the thought of Kayla infuriates me once again.

"Because she was disrespectful towards me and even dared to attack me," I told them, purposely exaggerating what happened.

"Really, but she hasn't even shifted. How could a little thing like her ever hurt you? Plus, she's a sweet girl that minds her business. Why would she do that?" My mother defends her. I scoff at my mother's blind compassion towards other people. She is always so unnecessarily caring for every single bloody person on earth. It is incredibly annoying at times.

"Don't defend her Mom. If I'm going to lead this Pack, I can't have people disrespecting me. Especially not pathetic little Omegas like that b***h Kalya. And to think that she's my Mate." I hiss, but quickly feel a nervous pang in my chest after letting that last detail slip...

"What? What did you just say?" My Dad asks. s**t, I didn't mean to say that. I don't want them to know, I don't want anyone to know.

"First of all, watch your language, you're not speaking to your friends, you're speaking to your parents, and the Former Alpha and Luna of this Pack. Second of all do not speak to your mother like that and finally what is this about Kayla being your Mate?" My Dad frowns at me, his only arm removing itself from his trouser pocket.

"Could you not say her name, I feel like vomiting every time I hear it." I roll my eyes.

"Damien!" My mom yells at me, staring at me with pure shock.

"How could you speak of your own Mate like that?" She nags. Ugh, I'm really in the mood for any of this.

"She's not my Mate." I snap back.

"Damien, the Matebond is very powerful, and you won't be able to ignore it. No matter how much you deny it. Being without her will begin to eat away at your very soul, spirit, and mind. Even though she might be the Omega, you must learn to accept her." He continues about that useless Matebond s**t.

"I have work to do so if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone so if you please leave," I say to them, not even saying anything about what they've just told me. I mean I do want a Mate, but I want her to be strong, beautiful, maybe have an ass and a nice figure. Someone I'd be proud to call my Luna. Proud to call mine.

Not some Omega. Hell no.

They simply looked at each other and look back at me with traces of disappointment hidden beneath their frowns. They leave a short while after that, making me feel at peace in my solitary. But I don't want to be completely alone...

It's probably a very bad time to get horny, but I can't help myself, so I decide to call on one of my girlfriends to come satisfy that hunger...

"Barbara," I called her through the Mindlink.

"Hey babe, what's up." She answers me quickly, her tone smooth.

"Could you come by my office, I need you to help me take care of a few things..." I say huskily and slowly, so she knows exactly what I'm talking about.

"I'm on my way..." She says seductively and cuts the link. At least the rest of today doesn't have to be so shitty.

Finding the Omega can wait, cause right now I'm craving some heated... distractions.

K A Y L A

"How long has she been like that?"

"About 10 minutes, when we found her she was in her human form. I didn't even know she was a Werewolf. She's so small."

"Is Alpha Nate almost here?"

"Yeah, he's on his way."

I hear muffled voices speak around me. I'm starting to wake up, and my body is still aching.

Not now, just a little while longer.

But I can't stop it, my eyes begin to open and the first thing to catch my eye is a few men standing around me.

"She's waking up." Someone says. I open my eyes wide and try standing up but instead I fall back on my paws.

Wait, paws?

Paws?!

I look down at where my arms are supposed to be and instead see a pair on golden-haired legs. I am startled and try to gasp but it comes out as a whine. I can't stand up straight, my 4 legs wobbling as I try to steady them on the ground. In my line of vision, I can see a long snout with a button nose at the end and it makes me want to exclaim in surprise but it comes out at a panicked bark.

I've shifted... I'm, I'm a Wolf! Oh my gosh, this is so cool! And painful...

"Dude what's she doing?" Another voice speaks up, making me turn to the direction of the sound to find that I'm surrounded by four people, all of them staring at me peculiarly. I turned my head to look at my body and see that my whole body is covered in soft golden fur, and I have a tail! The feeling is so hard to explain...

"Kayla, can you hear me?" Leria calls, her voice sounding lighter, more friendly.

"Yeah, I can! I'm a Wolf!" I say, still trying to understand what just happened.

"Yeah, I didn't mean to make you shift, it sort of just happened. How are you feeling?" She speaks apologetically.

"Okay, I guess," I say, before looking around the forest and the men around me. Everything is louder, brighter. I can hear everything, smell everything from the heartbeats of the rabbits underneath me, the chirping of birds high up in the trees. The smell of the wildflowers all around me... Everything.

My moment is cut short when I heard one of the men speak up again. And that's when I finally get a good look at them. These men look dangerous... and they are really tall and buff, all of them frowning at me as if I am a threat to them. Then their scents hit.

These are Rogues, or at least their scents resembled that of Rogues. I must be on Red Dawn territory... oh no...

In the distance, I can hear more hurried footsteps, the violent rustling off leaves and bushes getting louder and louder. Moments later, 3 wolves emerge from the trees, coming to a stop as their gazes lock onto me. 

Then more scents hit.

2 of them are high ranking wolves. The light brown Wolf must be the Alpha because of the way he strode, with such authority and boldness, he also seems furious to see me, growling and snarling at me just like the one to his right. He is also the biggest one, while the light grey and brown Wolf to his right is roughly the same size, must've been his Beta because his aura also held authority but not as much as the light brown one.

The third Wolf doesn't have a ranking and unlike the other two Wolves next to him, doesn't growl at me. But boy is his Wolf amazing... His fur looks smooth and shiny, like dark chocolate. He has golden, almost amber eyes and stared at me with ownership like I was some sort of object that belonged to him...

The Alpha steps forward and shifts, having only a pair of pants on, his upper body glistening as his muscles flex.

Holy s**t, he's good looking.

"Shift." He commands me, using his Alpha tone. His tone was deep, rough, but oddly smooth. Everything inside me was telling me to do as he said but I don't know how...

"Just think about yourself in your human form," Leria tells me. I look over to the ground and notice that my clothes have been shredded so I would be naked if I shifted back. Just great.

The Alpha seems to have noticed that I wouldn't have any clothes and so does the dark brown Wolf behind him.

Before the Alpha could react, the dark brown Wolf begins to shift back. Moments later a guy stands up straight, with a bush of curly brown hair sat perfectly at the top of his head.

He is perfect. He has the best hair I had ever seen, a perfect messy bush chocolate bush of thick curls. He has big hazel, almost brown eyes with glints of gold in them. His lips were plump and rosy pink, and he's got cute faint freckles scattered across his nose and cheeks. He is quite muscular but not as muscular as the other men around him. He has more of a lean figure and boy did he look mouthwatering. I instantly feel an attraction towards him and I can sense that he feels it too... odd...

"That's not possible..." I hear Leria trail off but before I can respond, he begins to advance towards me.

"Alpha, please stand down..." He speaks and turns to his Alpha making him frown in irritation.

"Why on Earth would I do that?" He growls in anger, his fists tightening at his sides 

The guy with the curly hair steps forward and looks down at me, staring with amazement and admiration...

"She's my Mate."
