I turned to meet Eathen’s smirk, as I took Kal’s arm, and we made our way to the table.
Theo sat across from Kal, I took my seat to Kal's left but was surprised when Eathen sat to my left. Theo's silver eyes weren't straying from Kal, but Troy's face flashed a bit of confusion.
Troy would have sat two seats to Theo's left, placing him across from our Gamma, if we had brought him. He paused briefly before Theo likely linked him, and told him where to sit, which was across from Eathen.
I found it hard not to say anything as my parents sat at the ends of the table. Eathen's amusement was light in the air, and I was trying to piece it together, because this was clearly another attempt at having the upper hand, which was uncalled for here. Sitting this way would show them my hierarchy, without having to say it out loud, as we were all seated on the same side of Kal, and Eathen was after me. But why was Eathen amused?
Kal's voice broke t
Theo wouldn't be so easily convinced, he knew that we grew up learning how to put on a brave face, and that my mother had been preparing me to be someone's Luna just in case. He watched Kal's movements, and mine, but I knew that Kal was watching him as well, and Theo was only seeing what Kal wanted him to, not there was anything to hide."I hope you don't mind Octavia, but we've placed your rooms a few floors above your old room, it's where all the visiting Alpha's usually stay with their company," Theo's voice rang out."That's fine Theo," I smiled, "I'll have to slip down to my old room tomorrow though and grab a few things that got left behind."He nodded, "Troy will show you up, you're welcome to walk around freely, and there will be breakfast ready in the morning so feel free to go down and help yourselves," he winked at me."Theo, are you serious?!" I shouted a little too enthusiastically happy, startling everyone else as I anxiously awaited h
I woke up Kal pretty early, dragging him to get dressed and out of the room as he took his sweet time on purpose."Kal please..." I whined, "you're gonna force me to leave you behind." I should have said that farther away from him, his arm flawlessly snagged me into him as his amusement in my suffering escalated.We walked past Eathen's room, and he was already standing against his door in the hallway waiting. "Finally... someone gets it!" I huffed.He licked his lips, "Oh, I've already been there," he smirked."Lies!" I spat at him, "Right???" I was panicked at this point and Eathen reveled in it as he filled the hallways with his laughter."Kal!" I pouted, and he half tripped Eathen for me."He's kidding my love," Kal tried to calm me as I was attempting to drag him down the hall and he shot Eathen looks.The smell hit me, and I couldn't control my stomach letting out a hunger growl, I snatched a few muffins from the counter, biting
Theo was surprised that I asked him, but never let his face show it.“I’m not going to lie Avi, he’s not great,” he held the back of his neck like he always does when he’s stressed out, “I will come up with a reason to talk to your Alpha, but you should go retrieve what you need from your room quickly,” he paused and looked pained to speak. “Rowan went a little, off, when you left. I caught him sleeping in your room multiple times, so his scent will likely be all over it. I’ve ordered him to stay away from here for a few days.”Fuck. I was concerned for Ro, but I was more annoyed than anything, I didn’t want to have to explain anything else to Kal when we were in a good place.“Kal will literally kill him Theo.” My voice was pained to say the words, but Theo just looked like he knew, like he had accepted that Ro’s behaviour could land him in Kal’s bad books.“L
Octavia's POVI left Theo’s office and savored my muffin all the way up to my room.“Just stay here,” I told Eathen, “I need to find my necklace and round up a few things.” I left him outside my door and kept the door open, hoping that he wouldn’t be able to smell anything from out there if Ro’s scent was still lingering.My room had been turned upside down either from Kal’s men or from Ro going off when I left, but either way, everything was a mess and made it impossible to find anything. I started to pile things up in Eathen’s arms as I searched through my room for my necklace, I needed to be done this quickly before Theo was done with Kal.I piled some more clothes on Eathen when his voice came out annoyed, “I’m so glad we came for a necklace.”“It’s not my fault you guys didn’t bring everything the first time, I didn’t really have a
Octavia's POVI was covered in a blanket as I tried to catch up to myself, taking in everything that happened as Eathen looked at me with worry, and Theo looked at me with shock. I could tell Kal was trying to remain composed for my sake, but I couldn’t face anyone, Rowan was like this because of me, and if Kal hadn’t of stopped me I would have killed him.“It’s all my fault Kal,” I squeaked out as I buried my head into him. How was I supposed to explain what happened to him, he wouldn’t trust me after this, and I couldn’t blame him.I felt his chest rumble as his words bellowed, “Leave us.” Neither of them put up a fight as they closed the door on the way out. Kal set me on my feet and placed his shirt on me, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at him, I was so ashamed and furious still.He grasped my chin slightly and brought my vision to his, “You need to tell me what ha
Kal's fear made me alert, and brought me back from whatever self pity trance I was in."What aren't you telling me Kal," I demanded, "I can literally feel your guilt, and why are you both some degree of afraid?"His jaw tensed as he took a deep breathe in, "You should be afraid Octavia, you need to start thinking before you place yourself in so much danger. We need to get out of this territory, any rogues out there are now aware of my scent... and yours... being there." His eyes were flashing brightly and I could tell Sabre was near the surface. He was completely on edge, as was Eathen, and it was my fault, again."We will get answers from your parents later,” I could feel his guilt surfacing, “Theodore told me you ran away as a child and something happened to you.""WHAT!" I screamed and made Eathen flinch, my words were defeated as they flew out with my tears, "Why didn't we find out before we left Kal, you knew how bad I wanted
Day 1The darkness took over and my eyes struggled to allow any bit of light back in as it started to fade.Did I faint again? From what? I couldn't recall anything other than changing my clothes. As I tried to grasp what happened to me, I realized it was colder where I was than I remembered it being. I tried to take in scents around me but I was only met with a damp odor.I called out to Echo, but was met with no response. My heart started to race, maybe my powers brought me somewhere again... Kal! I shot straight up and frantically tried to adjust to the light and look around, I couldn't see Kal, I couldn't smell him, he would never leave me... where the fuck was I?My mind was racing a mile a minute as I took in my surroundings, I was in a room and on a bed but I didn't recognize anything around me. I couldn't reach Echo or Kal but this didn't seem like a dream.My wrists were burning, I looked down
Day 4 I woke up early and prepared myself for breakfast, I had to attempt to eat to have a chance at getting out of here. When Garrett arrived, at least half of it was gone."Ready?" He smiled at me and motioned to follow. I was barely hiding my absolute hate for him as I left the room. There were two guards in front and behind us as we walked down a long hallway, and out into a huge green space. The hallway gave nothing away, it seemed like there wasn't many ways in and out of the building itself."I don't understand what you hope to gain from kidnapping me," I broke the silence.We walked slowly around the building and down a path that circled the property, he was drawing the walk out which gave me time to survey my surroundings, but I became more and more impatient for him to answer me, before he finally spoke."Octavia, you know what I hope to gain, some strong pups and heirs. I meant what I said before, you can ta
