Emmiel
After our time spent at the boutique, Alpha Lopen turns towards me. "Are you hungry?Should we go get something to eat?"
I wasn't hungry but I wasn't going to turn down this opportunity to eat outside either. "Lets"
"I know a place nearby. Let's stop there"
Climbing into Lopen's car, he drives us off to a nearby restaurant.
Inwardly, I hope this place didn't belong to someone he had once been assigned to "take care of" either because the last conversation with the owner of the men boutique store was awkward enough.
On getting to the restaurant, I was fazed by the interior decoration. The restaurant was well packed with people but from the scent I could whiff off, they were mainly alphas but that was expected.
Alphas and beta were the only ones wealthy enough to dine in a place like this. An omega like me who never envisioned leaving the omega facility never thought I'd get the chance to step into a place like this. Ever.
"You're releasing your pheromones" Alpha Lopen says, cutting my thoughts short. "Be careful if you don't want to be jumped on in the next few minutes. This is an 'all Alpha's restaurant' "
I froze up. An all Alpha's restaurant? Why would Lopen bring me here?
"You must be thinking about why I brought you here" Lopen says, voicing my thoughts. "It's simple. As my wife-to-be, you need to learn how to control your pheromones to avoid being spotted by the enemy"
All eyes in the restaurant were on me and that made me self-conscious. "I'm not ready yet. I wasn't training to control my pheromones on impulse"
"I thought as much that's why I brought you here; so that you'd learn how to"
Alpha Lopen didn't really mean what he said, did he? Alphas are known to be possessive over their omegas. He wouldn't willingly sit back and let the alphas in this restaurant jump me, would he?
I couldn't think of anything other than to shiver in fear and that emotion made me release more pheromones.
The alphas seated around, springed up from their chairs and started to approach me.
I moved closer to Lopen. "Please, help me"
"If I was going to help you, I wouldn't have brought you here in the first place"
Of course, he wouldn't have. If he did, then he wasn't Alpha Lopen.
In unison, the alphas quickened their step towards me. Since I had to save myself, I prepared myself to make a run for it but alpha Lopen had interfered.
With his hands wrapped around my shoulders, all it took was one word from him to get them to disperse from me. "He's mine"
Turning towards the reception, Lopen orders a snack to-go as we climbed back into the car.
"Here you go." Lopen says handing the snack bag to me. "Eat"
I received the snack bag but didn't open it. How did Lopen expect me to eat after what he'd just put me through?
Rather, I wanted to puke.
"You're not eating"
"I'm not hungry, yet" I replied, quietly.
"You're the one who said you wanted to eat" Lopen clarifies. "I went out to get you something so eat it, Emmiel. That's an order"
Nodding my head, I unwrapped the snack bag as I munched down on the snack. It tasted horrible.
"Do you like it?"
I nod. "Thank you for getting it for me"
"I'm glad you like it. I'll be getting it for you more often"
Sh*t!. "Thank you"
As soon as the car drove into the Lopen's mansion driveway, I sighed with relief. I couldn't wait to go up to my room to puke out the snack.
Once the car came to a stop, I made haste to open to the car door but alpha Lopen stops me.
He climbs down first. Then moved around to my side of the car and opened the door from outside.
Lopen confuses me. One minute he was setting me up to a group of alphas and the next minute he was being nice to me.
He could try all he wanted though. I would never see any any differently from what he already portrayed himself to be; A monster.
One of the maids rushes out front to meet us. "Alpha Lopen, you have a guest"
Alpha Lopen didn't look pleased to hear that. "I'm not expecting anyone today. Who is it?"
"Your brother, Alpha Asai"
"And you let him in?!" Lopen barked, filled with rage.
The maid shivered in fear. "He said he had something important to tell you concerning Emmiel. I told him you went out and wasn't sure when you'd be back but he insisted on waiting"
I'm not certain how long we were gone for but if his brother waited this long, it had to be something really important. I'm certain Lopen had realized that as well.
"Fine. Be gone" He orders the maid as she scampers away.
Strolling into the house, I sighted Alpha Asai laughing over a movie on the TV screen while munching on a big bowl of popcorn.
Annoyed, Lopen hurries on towards towards his brother, turning off the TV as he smashes the bowl of popcorn on Asai's laps against the floor.
"I don't remember ever giving you permission to make yourself comfortable in my home, Asai" Lopen snarled. "Say what you want and leave"
Asai springs up from the couch, dusting his moist hands against his shirt. "Wow, I didn't think I'd waited for over 4 hours just to be treated this way"
Lopen shrugs. "Big deal. What did you want to tell me concerning my wife?"
"Are you really serious with this wedding?"
"I'm dead serious"
"Well, you should rethink it because father and mother found evidence against your illegal dealings. If you push forward with this marriage of yours, they would leak it out to everyone"
Lopen laughed as if it wasn't a big deal. "They should go ahead and try. Petty threats won't work on me. My marriage with Emmiel is happening until I say otherwise"
