Chapter 17 - Behind The Scenes

(Some Weeks Ago)

The sun was getting hotter which wasn't surprising since it was mid noon. Kreed finally came up to where the others were. He didn't think he would be late to meet them but it didn't matter anyway, he wasn't running against the time. He came up to them, staring down at the passed out Beta laying helpless at their feet and bleeding nonstop. "Is he out?" He asked with a blank expression, an expression the others were used to. They hardly caught him smiling unless he had an evil thought or was about to do something equally evil.

"Yes. He will wake up anytime from now" Adan warned

"Then we better get this done fast" He replied, taking off his hood and then proceeding to take off his robe, handing it over to Freya. He took off his mask gently and then ran his fingers through his white hair. "Keep it safe" He instructed, handing her the mask too. She nodded with understanding.

"This is going to be interesting" Conan commented with an excited smile planted on his face.

"Too bad we won't be able to see it all play out" Zamir added.

"You should take your leave now before he comes too. You know what to do in the meantime. Follow Adan's lead till we find what we came for and I end this charade" He instructed.

Adan nodded, turning to leave. "Good luck" Conan waved at him before following behind Adan. The others followed suit. Freya glanced back at him, giving him a good luck nod.

Kreed waited till they were out of sight before turning his attention to the passed out Beta. He flashed his red eyes to yellow and then to blue, settling for the color. "Argh...ahh...mhmm...uhh ahh" He began trying to change the tone of his voice from the calm, sad and mildly deep one it was to a more cheerful one. Satisfied after trying for a while, he cleared his throat and then bent down close to the Beta.

"Sir! Mr!" He tapped the Beta's face repeatedly, calling to wake him up. After tapping for almost half a minute, the Beta jumped awake, struggling to get away from Kreed.

"Please don't hurt me, don't kill me please" He pleaded with a scared look.

"I am not going to hurt. I am trying to help you, I saw you passed out here on the floor" He forced out a warm smile.

Seeing as he wasn't dressed as one of the Alphas' group that attacked him, The Omega believed him. He looked around swiftly just to make sure. "Who are you?" He finally asked, calming down.

"I am Kr...Kieran. My name is Kieran" He made up the name on the spot, still maintaining a smile.

"Thank you Kieran. My name is Billy" He thanked him with sincerity before feeling a sharp pain from his ribs. That's when he remembered he was clawed almost to death. "Damn it" He groaned with pain.

"What happened to you?" Kreed inquired, feigning confusion.

"I got attacked"

"Why aren't you healing faster than that?"

"Because it's a wound from an Alpha. It isn't going to heal as fast as it's supposed to" Billy explained

"Where do you live? I can help you get there" He offered

"No you don't have to" Billy objected. "I don't want to impose on you or deter you from your journey"

"I don't mind and I have no clear direction in mind, and besides you don't seem like you could make it back on your own" He replied, offering him a hand and helping him up. Billy accepted his offer and wrapped his arm around his neck, keeping himself on his feet. "So where's the direction to your town?"

"Straight ahead. Greenvale town"

"And your pack?"

"Blueblood Pack led by Alpha Darius" He replied

"I see..." Kreed bobbed his head as they started for the direction of his town. "Tell me about this Alpha that attacked you" He changed the topic, not wanting to press him for info about his pack so he wouldn't suspect anything.

"It was a group of Alphas, the ones I have never seen before"

"That sounds menacing!"

Tessa didn't know what to make of all what he just said. She knew he was probably serious because that was the most serious he's been since she first laid eyes on him. "Well good luck with that" She scoffed like it was some unserious joke before making her way out of the holding room.

Kreed kept his eyes on her from where he sat, staring at her as she tried to hide her nervousness and fluttering out. He gave an evil smirk when she left the holding cell, locking him in. He could tell he's got her on his side from the little unforgettable encounter he just made with her. He listened to her heartbeat till he couldn't hear it anymore, confirming she was gone.

He stood up looking around the cell room. "That's the first step done and over with. Now to move on to the next" He said to himself, listening intently with his wolf hearing to see if there was anyone else in the other cell rooms but it came up empty. "I guess it wouldn't be here, kept so openly" He muttered, sitting back down on the bed.

Smiling warmly at the she-wolves all around him, He was getting a little irritated with their presence as their thirst for him was obvious. All he wanted was information and that was the only reason he was tolerating their presence. "So the commander is the strongest Beta of the pack huh? No wonder he looked intimidating" He threw it out there like a joke.

"Yeah. I don't feel comfortable around him or his son. They look too intimidating and then being the strongest Betas doesn't help either" One of the She-wolves pointed out.

"Yeah...and I heard the commander has some sort of hidden weapon too. One that is so well hidden but adds to the reason why he is feared so much" Kreed whispered to them with a smile.

"Yeah...i heard that too...." One of them started spewing immediately. He paid close attention to what she was about say. It could be the information he wanted to hear. "Something about him locking up...." She trailed off when her eyes fell on Tessa who just walked into the room, heading toward them.

'Damn it' He cursed inwardly when the She-wolves backed away. He forced out a smile "Hey! You're back!" He called, watching on as she came to drag him up by his hand and out the pack house. He wasn't able to get the information he wanted and it pissed him off but he kept maintaining his smile so as not to blow his cover.

"NO..." She whispered in reply and then ran her fingers through his hair before pulling him back down to her, pressing her lips on his, building a deep, passionate kiss. Kreed sank into the kiss, feeling a desire for it building up inside him. That wasn't a feeling he was planning for. He felt the presence of his comrades and caught their scent and just in time he thought to himself. He waited for them to get into the room patiently.

Just as she was about to take off his t-shirt, he saw Conan approaching swiftly with his claws out. 'Typical Conan' He thought to himself before pulling Tessa away, putting himself in front of the claws intentionally. He knew that move was going to increase the trust she had for him.

He felt her take his hand and helped him up. Soon she was engaged in a deep convo with Adan. He knew how deep Adan's thoughts could run and how dark inside of his head was. He was surprised at how Tessa was trying to keep up, putting up a front even though she was obviously scared. He was feeling good with her reply so far until he heard her say "I mean you're killing senselessly, aren't you? Killing the innocent" He felt angry at how much she had misunderstood them that he squeezed her hand unconsciously.

He realized then that there was no way they were going to understand their pain and suffering, not until they felt it themselves. He thought she was different too but she had the same mindset as the others which was not surprising to him seeing as she was raised by them. That confirmed for him that no matter, he had to carry out their mission without letting anything get in the way.
