Opal stumbled into the pack's house and sat down to get her shit together. What was that just now? That idiot almost triggered her heat, if she wasn't a dominant Omega she would be done for. She knew that after his Mate died Mark was alone. He had a four year old son. His wife died shortly after giving birth. Ever since he wasn't with nobody. He was In his early thirties. The whole situation, that was just too freaking weird the way he looked at her, Opal didn't want to think about it anymore.
After a few minutes she went to the office and paid her rent informing Mrs Hadgrove about leaving the hutt till the end of this week. Not giving the old lady any chance to perform a full interview on her Opal left. On her way out she came across Jayden who was among other warriors. Opal looked straight, she managed not to look at him, not even for a second. It hurt like hell to smell his faint pheromones mixed with others but not with hers. She left the pack's house, she realized that actually, except for the office where she paid her rent, she had no idea what was inside this building. Pack's house is where the Alpha lives and where the pack members meet. There was a big hall and probably a gym for the warriors as well as a doctor's office. She has seen none of them. She turned around and looked at this brick building. It was huge with many windows. Behind each window there was a different story. Opal used to like imagining all sorts of stories happening behind the windows of the houses she was passing by. It was fun in a weird way. She suddenly got tense. Without turning around Opal knew who was standing behind her. There are some days that one should actually spend lying at home and not getting up from the bed. That was definitely one of those days. Opal did turn around though really unwillingly. He stood there, the tall Alpha who gave her a punch a few days back his name was … Tom. From his look she knew he would definitely not let her go easily. She felt the rush of adrenaline, fight or flight.
"How's your face?" He smiled mockingly.
"Pretty, as always." Opal replied, trying to move away from him but he managed to catch her jacket's sleeve.
"Not so hasty, Omegas should know their place. I think you need a few lessons about proper behavior." He squeezed these words through his teeth, not letting her go.
"To teach someone you need to know what proper behavior is, you dullard." Opal didn't hold back. It was enough.
"You bitch!" His face turned red and Opal knew he would hit her, but this time there was no other Omega to calm him down with her pheromones. She dodged when he threw the punch and set herself free from his grip by swiftly striping off her jacket. It was too late for a flight. Opal knew it and she was ready, her wolf too.
Some people saw what was going on and there soon was a small crowd of onlookers. Someone called for help but nobody interfered. Opal was on her own and to be honest she wanted to kick this Alpha's ass. Her canines got longer and she looked into Tom's eyes. Her only weapon was agility, if she gets a punch, even if it's only one, she won't manage to get up. Tom was a pack warrior so he changed his tactic and started attacking her with both hands and kicks. Opal was quick, she dodged again and then it all went so fast that nobody could tell how it exactly happened. In one second Opal moved back in the other she tore her clothes and shifted to her wolf form while landing on Tom. He lost his balance and fell with Opal on his chest as she bit him hard close to his artery. She could kill him but she didn't want to.
Opal nerves were on the verge and she vented them by showing this fucking Alpha that she wasn't a pushover. She jumped back and she put her ears straight and bare her teeth. She was growling ready to fight back should he make a move.
"That's enough." A strong dominant voice brought the fighting one back to their senses. Alpha Mark stood right between them. He looked at the white wolf and commanded.
"Shift back."
Opal was proud. She shifted within a second to her human form, it hurt like hell to do it twice in such a short time. She picked her jacket and covered herself. The people gathered around were silent for a moment but then she heard them talking among themselves. They were shocked, surprised and some were in awe.
"I've never seen anyone shifting like that." She heard from the side.
"Man that was something."
"She's an Omega, isn't she?"
"Has she just fought with an Alpha?"
"Fought? She won."
The sound of their mumbling was getting louder.
"Tom, go to the infirmary and take care of the wound." Alpha Mark patted Tom's shoulder, Tom lowered his head and obeyed his Alpha's order.
Opal smirked when he was passing her by.
"So much for the great Alpha." She whispered loud enough for him to hear.
Tom's face was read, even his ears were the color of blood that could be seen where Opal bit him. He was overpowered in front of so many people by a mere Omega. His warrior pride has suffered such a blow that he needed to digest it. He looked at Opal with hatred in his eyes.
"Everyone diverges. Opal you go with me."
Fuck. With her jacket barely covering her ass and barefoot she followed him inside the pack's house. The very place she thought never to enter again. On her way inside the brick building she saw Jayden, he was looking at her with wide eyes, as if he had seen her for the first time. For a moment Opal thought he would say something but his lips remained closed. She omitted him and went inside.
