Chapter 18: Chapter 18

I was sitting on my bed in my room all shaking. I could hear Tom and Elsa making preparations downstairs as the tavern was closed for the occasion. Elsa had also said that another person would join us as essential to the process. I just nodded submissively, I don't know much about these things and it's absolutely obvious that I won't be of any use in the preparations so I wait quietly in my room.

I think back to the events of the morning and I feel very sorry for Jessy. I don't know what it really means to be omega or alpha but I have the impression that it must weigh on him and that he feels complex. This complex must really hurt him but it's also a fatality because he can't get rid of it unfortunately. If you are omega you are for life, it is impossible to change this fact, it's not like nowadays where you can change sex, no you don't change your lycan nature.

But that doesn't mean I liked Elsa's way of treating poor Jessy, I don't know what could have happened between them to make Jessy hate her so much, but that didn't give Elsa the right to treat it that way. But what surprised me the most was Tom who did nothing. He didn't even try to protect Jessy as Elsa used her power on weaker people.

Maybe it's related to this story of omega and alpha, there must be a caste system between the two which means that omega will always be weaker than alpha and therefore have to give them Respect.

I swallowed, but that doesn't excuse Elsa, even if I think of her I will never tell her. Because this woman scares the hell out of me, I don't even know how I manage to look her in the face without freaking out. I don't think she uses these things called pheromones on me, I'm sure but I'm just scared to death of women. Every time I find myself in front of her, I have the impression of being in front of a huge and frightening bear. Even if she always has this smile taped to her lips, it sounds false in my eyes and I therefore prefer to keep a reasonable distance between us. Even if in the end I should do it since she is the one who must hold the rite according to Tom's words.

Where the hell does she come from first? The two don't seem to be great friends if I consider that I still have enough sense to appreciate the relations between humans, unless in the lycans it is not the same and that still the relations Castes also govern relationships between individuals. This woman hasn't stopped giving orders since I heard them talking, she's so bossy, poor Tom.

I shook my head because I had another problem. It's been more than two hours since my inner wolf hasn't reacted. No sarcastic remarks, no repeats and he didn't even try to calm me down when I was on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. It's absurd that he is so silent, he is so sardonic and always quick to prevent me from thinking freely about the things that please me. He even remained silent when I tried to tease him saying that I will comfort Jessy in a tender way.

What's happening to him ? Why this vigil? We're supposed to be a team so why is he abandoning me? Doesn't he know that I feel more scared when he ignores me like this? I'm scared and I need him.

I bent my knees to my chest and curled up, I miss my mom so much right now. When I was sad and stressed she hugged me and calmed me down. But now I feel so alone, I need someone to comfort me.

Someone out of pity.

Further on, despite the pain of his ruts, the huge wolf raised his head feeling the distress of his Luna, he felt her so intensely that she even gripped his heart.

" Sophia...."

He clenched his jaw before grabbing the bars of the bunker window and starting tugging at them. He felt her loneliness, he felt her pain and he had to be there for her as soon as possible.

Elsa, on the other hand, was sitting on the balcony at the back of Tom's tavern, taking a break and smoking a cig. She frowned, pitying the man who had to suffer so much in his bunker waiting for his mate.

She couldn't control herself when she saw Sophia being so close to another man while her poor nephew was in agony as he didn't want to be close to another woman. She saw red.

Already this Jessy irritates her to the highest point because of his cursed mother, but it is still necessary that this cursed family continues to torment her family. She won't allow it.

Her nephew has suffered enough as it is because of this family so if she has to cut the evil at the root she will do it. She just hopes she didn't scare Sophia too much, she never knew how to express her true feelings to the people she likes, her nephew tells her that all the time. But Sophia must understand that she already belongs to her nephew and therefore must be faithful to him no matter the cost.

She frowned remembering the fact that her nephew had come to see her two years ago saying that she had found his Luna, she hadn't believed him at that time because the pack demanded that she choose a Luna immediately. She believed in a stratagem on his part to flee an engagement decided by the goddess of the moon but in the end it turned out that he was right.

Already on the fact of having found his Luna, but also on the fact that elders had chosen a girl who was not his predestined mate. The rejection was bloody as the girl died horribly.

In this sense, her nephew can be appalling, he could have rejected her without killing her but he had judged that letting her alive would cause future worries for his Luna seeing how much the “fiancée” seemed so in love with him and ready to do anything to hold on by his side.

He found it necessary to get rid of weight.

It is in this sense that she thinks that no one other than him deserves to be at the head of their pack, he is powerful and ruthless, but above all he has been able to soak up human knowledge beyond the latter in their own affairs. He developed their pack both in the world of creatures but also in that of humans, mounting the largest multinational in the country and becoming more than essential.

Capital City has seen its expansion explode thanks to it becoming the most futuristic and prosperous city in the country, and on the continent. A true business tycoon

It amuses her when human girls yearn for him, looking for him to even spend the night with him, lycans, she can understand since they can feel his alpha strength, but humans, if they knew who they faced.

It amuses her.

But speaking of the little one who will be the Luna of this mighty pack, as her nephew noted, she didn't know anything about their world until a week ago . She was totally unaware of the force within her and was leading a human existence with her mother, a wandering lycan. It is only recently that she discovered her true nature and therefore tries to survive with this new knowledge. So she'll have to instill in her the fundamentals of this so she'll be worthy to stand by her alpha's side and help her lead both the pack and her businesses.

Her nephew trusted her and she would not disappoint him.

She looked at the sky and felt that she was in everything, that one, always making extremely noticeable entrances. Either she arrives right on time because night is about to fall and soon you will have to be strong not to be overwhelmed by the scents she could smell from this girl.

She's strong, that's for sure, she must be an alpha without a doubt but she will have to control this force which she must admit is quite strange for a normal alpha.

Maybe she's got ideas. She heard a knock on the door and Tom entered.

" The witch has arrived."

" Very well Tom, the ceremony can begin."
