Free Web NovelChapter 24: Win, Then We’ll See
Liam POV
" Follow me." Voiced Anastasia after she let go of my wrist and walked away.
I took a few seconds to look down at Scott who was still struggling to get up from the floor, only to smirk and move swiftly after the head alpha.
He deserved to feel that humiliation, because like why would any sane person try to separate two people holding each other’s hands?
He is nobody to Anastasia, I don’t know where he gets the guts to act like she is his wife or something.
I followed Anastasia to her study, only to find her waiting for me by the entrance, holding the door open.
I stepped inside, only for Anastasia to close the door behind me " You can sit down."
I sat down on the couch while admiring her big, minimalist-styled, and clean office.
" You are leaving with the omegas to the old packhouse. You will pretend to be a guard there." When those words came out of her mouth, my gaze instantly moved to look at her eyes in disbelief.
I did not hesitate to object to this decision " No, I’m not. I’m fine here."
What is she trying to do exactly?
" The pack is no longer safe for any omega to be wandering around. The packhouse will be the first thing to get attacked if an attack happens. You are not fine here, especially if they find out about you."
She is talking while pouring a glass of wine for herself.
Her tone sounded so emotionless and cold, yet everything she said, sounded like she worries and cares.
My heart is doing 360-degree flips right now.
" Why are you worried about us omegas that much? Don’t you hate us?" I blatantly asked as I watched her back.
She is facing me with her back but I could see how she narrowed her fist around her glass before gulping down its content " As the head alpha of this pack, I’m responsible for keeping every single member safe."
Anastasia turned around, holding eye contact with me from that far as she carried on " From the strongest to weakest, young, old, men, women, white, black, skinny, fat, omega, alpha, delta, beta. All of them count on me to keep them safe. I don’t hate any of them."
I quietly held eye contact with her, I was actually impressed at how responsible and determined she was to keep our pack safe " Why don’t you allow omegas into the packhouse then? Why do you hate their scents?"
She took a deep breath, licking her lips slowly before sighing " For their safety."
" Who in their right mind would hurt omegas in the packhouse when you are here?" I asked, feeling confused because I was a hundred percent sure that no alpha here would hurt someone when they knew what the punishment was.
Anastasia poured another glass of wine and chugged it down before answering " I’m the problem. I can’t hold my wolf back around omegas."
My eyes widened when I realized what was actually happening here.
Anastasia doesn’t hate omegas, it’s the complete opposite.
She keeps them away because she doesn’t trust her inner wolf.
Well, I hope I’m right about this and there isn’t another side to this.
" I’m sorry, I understand. But I’m not going to go hide with the other omegas. Please don’t forget that I’m an alpha too." I explained in a low tone, hoping she would not think I was trying to go against her command.
A sigh left her mouth and she was about to talk when the door of the study suddenly flew open as a very angry Scott stormed inside the room with his glowing red eyes as he stood right before the alpha, crying out in frustration and anger " Anastasia, what the fuck was that for?" He growled angrily at her.
Anastasia looked at him with a side of her eyes, not even bothering to turn her body toward him as she slowly poured herself a glass of wine and took a sip, closing her eyes to enjoy the taste.
Her slow actions are pissing Scott off even more, I can see smoke coming out of his ears... Not literally, but I can imagine that for some reason.
This is mirthful.
" Scott, you lied. You were not the one who brought me to my room yesterday, were you?." She suddenly asked in an unbothered tone.
She was not asking, she was stating facts.
Why the hell did this guy tell her he was the one who brought them to her room?
" No, I didn’t lie. You passed out in the kitchen and carried you to your room at the party." My eyes almost came out of their places because of how wide I opened them.
This asshole thinks he can lie to my mate and get away with it.
" No, you didn’t," I spoke as I stood up, stepping closer to where the two of them were standing.
Anastasia raised her head, looking at my angry expressions, while glaring at that guy who narrowed his fists and stepped closer, glaring back at me as if he was going to scare
me " How dare a peasant like you accuse me of lying?"
I smirked, I actually chuckled and stepped closer " She doesn’t want you, get over it, dude."
Scott narrowed his fists, ready to punch me.
I can see his intentions from miles away and I can easily attack back.
" Scott," Anastasia said his name as a warning when she noticed how he was planning on starting a fight.
Scott’s gaze moved toward the head alpha who was standing right behind me, watching us with a glass of wine in her hand, before gulping and loosening his fist. " He is the one who is lying, Ana, Who else would carry you to your room other than me?"
" Right, so why did you leave her on the couch instead of the bed?" I asked, with a smirk, only for Scott to look at Anastasia answering confidently " Because the bed was not empty." freewebnøvel.com
I laughed, he is so stupid, I can not.
Anastasia shook her head in disbelief.
I hope she remembers everything " Scott, get out."
" No, I’m not leaving you with him. He, a peasant thinks he is better than me." In irritation, he spoke as he looked at me as if I was some disgusting slave he owned.
Stay calm, stay calm.
He stepped forward and pushed me away from Anastasia so that he could stand in my spot.
I could not hold myself back anymore, I jumped at him and lifted my fist only to land it violently against his face, making blood squirt out of his nose.
He punched me back in the face, busting my lip only for me to return the punch twice as strong.
He was cursing at me as I repeatedly punched his bloody face.
I heard the sound of tongue clicking coming from Anastasia who rolled her eyes in boredom before placing her glass on the counter.
Then she stepped into the fight and grabbed my shoulder to pull me away from Scott who coughed blood and stood up, planning on attacking me again I was ready to attack back if it were not for Anastasia who stopped him "Scott stand your ground."
He stopped on the spot.
" I challenge you, Liam Snow." Scott suddenly spoke, challenging me.
Look, I am not a violent person, I know I look huge and a monster but I’m more of a gentle giant.
But a gentle giant only with the people I love and people who respect me.
As much as I hate the egos that alphas have, I can not just stand there and listen to him disrespecting me and my mate.
My alpha pride will never allow this.
" Okay, I accept. Let’s go." I spoke in the same calm tone as before, only for Scott to smirk.
He smirked because Scott actually is trained, most rich alphas are trained, not like the poor ones like me.
This is why he has a bigger chance to win.
"Scott, leave for a second." I and Scott can easily tell how fed up the head alpha is with the two of us and how she is holding back from just throwing both of us off her balcony.
I mean I don’t blame her, the pack is in great danger and this guy here is trying to start ridiculous fights.
Scott nodded and left the room to get ready for our fight.
" You can not fight him." That was the first thing Anastasia said.
Nobody had any idea how humiliated I felt when I heard how weak she thought I was.
Although I’m an omega, I’m still a man and alpha on top of this, I have a pride and ego that I want to keep to prove to her that I actually can protect her when she needs me and even when she doesn’t need me.
I just need her to know that her fated mate isn’t weak and she actually can count me any time.
" I can. I will prove it to you and to him too. If I win, I want to stay here with you even if the attack happens." I spoke in a soft tone as if I was not the same guy who was punching another man’s face just seconds ago.
Anastasia silently looked into my eyes before moving her gaze to my busted bloody lip " Scott has been training since when he was a little kid, you have never trained."
She paused to lift her hand, wiping the blood off my lip, something moved in my abdomen " Nonetheless, win then we will see about your request, Snow."
