Alpha Draven cursed inwardly as he unlocked the car, and gently settled the Omega into a seat and his head swayed to the side without control. It's obvious how unconscious he was.
His cheeks were flushed from the alcohol and he murmured something incoherently still unconscious.
The Alpha could not fathom how leaving the Omega for some time results in this, this had happened for the second time already within a few days, he can't possibly chain himself to the omega.
When they got back to the pack house, Wilson was surprised to see him return with the omega unconscious and immediately assumed something had happened to him again. But seeing the calm and annoyed expression of the Alpha he dismissed the thought.
"What happened this time?"
"I think Alpha's sister took him out a while ago"
"Huh, that lunatic?" Wilson exclaimed, immediately understanding.
Alpha Draven laid the Omega on the bed and wanted to remove the hair that was on his face when he noticed that it no longer had any waves and was not straightened. The face that appeared beneath the hair looked peaceful and innocent.
"Helene". he said through gritted teeth, but proceeded to help him out of his clothes.
He stopped in shock after removing his upper clothes and was expecting a bare skin beneath but saw a stringy net piece of clothing beneath.
It was designed in such a way that the rest of the fabric went into his trousers, but he decided to stop and cover the Omega with the bed.
When Alpha Draven went out of his room, he met Wilson waiting for him.
"The seer is here to see you, she said it urgently".
The Alpha's expression changed immediately, ever since the Omega arrived he had been finding it hard to listen to the seer. It's almost like she has something new to say each time he sees her.
And it looks like today wasn't an exception.
"What is it again today?" He muttered in mild annoyance and went to meet her.
"Good evening, Alpha". She greeted as he walked into his study, it was unusual for her to greet and he paused with one hand still on the door handle. His eyes silently moved over her face and attire.
"You are going on a journey?" He asked, walking inside.
"We have a meeting amongst ourselves, I will be meeting with other Augurs. We are also preparing for the time when the realm will need us the most, and it's close now." She replied, adjusting her clothes.
The Alpha pretended not to hear the contents of her words and sat down on his seat.
"Why then do you want to see me?"
"I will be gone for a long time, I want to warn you to keep a close eye on him". She said meeting his gaze and he scoffed.
"Do I need you to tell me that?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.
"It's getting late already, are you traveling during the night?" Alpha Draven changed the topic as he noticed the look on her face.
"Yes, it's the safest time to travel."
"Take one warrior with you, it would be a hassle if you don't make it back here". He said nonchalantly, but the seer laughed softly. He might pretend to be cold and heartless, it was obvious he held a soft spot for her.
After the door closed behind her, his expression changed. The carelessness vanished and replaced with a panic and a flicker of fear also passed through his eyes in seconds.
The prophecy she had given him was now like a curse, on most nights he would wake up and gaze at the Omega's tender features hoping it would stay with him forever, but with each passing day the fear of what was coming kept getting stronger.
He returned to his chamber later when the sky had darkened and every activity in the pack house had halted.
He opened the door and walked towards the bed while making little noise but when he got on to the bed, the Omega suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him.
It startled him but he overcame it and smiled at him.
"You are awake". He muttered and got under the covers.
The Omega kept staring at him for a few more minutes before he suddenly sat up and took off his pants and threw it onto the floor, leaving him in the scandalous lingerie Helene had forced on him earlier during their shopping.
He scooted over to the Alpha and went into his embrace and slept off once again.
The Alpha froze, the soft and sweet smelling Omega that was also his mate was in his arms with nothing but a sheer piece of fabric on.
He glanced down at him and kissed him softly on his forehead, although he wanted to do more.
The Omega stirred and moved even closer to him, so that he could feel the warmth and outline of his body against him which made sleep an impossible feat.
Every toss and turn the Omega did drove him even farther away from sleep and he was almost out of his mind when the night was almost over.
He eventually slept off after a sleepless night but was woken up when he heard a loud shriek.
He jolted awake to see the Omega seating at the edge of the bed and the covers pulled up, all the way to his chin and looked like he had seen a ghost.
"What is it? Are you hurt?" The Alpha asked worried and looked around the room for the source of danger.
The Omega didn't answer and only stared at him with shock written all over his face.
The Alpha reached over to pull him close to get a look at him but that sent him into panic and he moved back.
A muffled scream escaped his lips as he hit the ground with a thud.
"Shit!".
The Alpha cursed and moved swiftly to help him up, he no longer fought against his hold and let the Alpha pulled him up.
Not understanding what was happening, the Alpha unwrapped the covers from his body to see if he had broken any part of his body from the fall.
The Omega face immediately went red in embarrassment and he covered his face as he was finally bared before the Alpha and he couldn't hide the lingerie.
"Are you embarrassed because of what you are wearing?"
The Alpha chuckled as he stared at him.
"I have seen it since last night, there is no need to feel embarrassed now. Besides, it's pretty,"He tried to make the Omega feel less embarrassed.
The Omega looked up at him in shock, he suddenly remembered what Helene had said.
Indeed the Alpha liked pretty things, and that made his chest ache. The Alpha must hate him because he was anything but pretty.
And without any warning at all, a sob escaped his lips. Tears followed and he wailed loudly, leaving the Alpha extremely confused and worried.
