Chapter 38
“I escaped with my own capacity.” was Lavana’s reply. She did not seem like she was going to elaborate on what happened. Rolandro thought she felt unobligated to answer his question. Maybe someone saved her but weirdly advised her not to say a word? Anything could be the case but at least this Omega wolf had arrived and she must add some meat while in their pack. This was a mission!
“Em… okay. That’s good.” he nodded in understanding. “What’s important is that you are well and now we met you. You’re welcome to stay at our little Blood star pack,” said Rolandro with a smile.
“Thank you for your hospitality. I promise, my little sis and I will not be freeloaders,” said Lavana.
“No. You aren’t freeloaders here. You are a guest-turned-family. Don’t have such thoughts again, Lava.” said Carmelia, who had just arrived in the living room with some refreshments for Lavana. She’d already delivered Beatrix’s share to her in Pedro’s room. They were chatting excitedly and she didn’t want to ruin their fun.
She also gave some checkerboard cookies to her son. Werewolves can’t stomach chocolate after their first shift but they can before that, so it was safe for him to eat it. But she planned to stop giving him chocolate at 10. Or else even after he shifted, he would find it hard to resist eating the appetizing chocolate products.
The cookies she brought for Lavana were different. They were flavored with vanilla and little milk. After shifting, werewolves can’t take too much milk in their system. So a little occasionally is recommended.
Being a tribrid, Lavana will have to discover what she can and can’t eat as soon as possible to avoid poisoning. She only knew wolves didn’t eat this or that. What about her other two forms?
When all spirits were fully awake, she would have a long conversation with them. But to trigger the next (third) stage of her dragon transformation, she might need to find her second chance mate soon. But where to start from? In any case, she had to bring Beatrix to her home.
“Thank you, Carmelia. They taste great.” Lavana thanked Rolandro’s wife.
“It’s good you like them. Regina and I will go prepare the main meal. You will be shown your room soon and have a tour of the pack. It’s small so it will be easy to walk around it.” said Carmelia before turning to go back into the kitchen.”
“Um, Rolandro.” Lavana rose and walked over to sit on the couch where he was seated but maintained a distance from him.
“Um… please don’t think of any other meaning in my actions. I just want to know. Do you know anything about the Atlantes family?” she asked in a rather low voice.
“Atlantes family? Is that your family?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.
Wasn’t she and her little sister omegas; one shifted and the other still a decade away from shifting? Why was she asking about the Atlantes family?
Lavana shook her head.
“I’m an Omega,” she replied. “I’m just curious if you know something.”
“Um… yeah. But why? Do you have anything to do with them?”
“Um… Are they humans?” she asked, even though she already knew the answer.
“Nope. They are from a clan that practices witchcraft. They live in the next town but their location is uncertain. But that family is powerful. An Alpha would have a hard time if he encounters a highly skilled witch or wizard. He might even die if it’s a serious case. We have no Alpha here. We haven’t been able to produce anyone good enough to receive the Alpha title in years. Our last chance is in less than a month’s time during a competition.”
“Are women allowed in that competition?”
“Yup. The bracket is from age 16 till 29.” Rolandro said.
“Mind if I ask? Have you competed in that competition before?”
“I and Mel had to do so but we lost.”
“How about I compete then?” she asked with sparkling eyes.
She knew the competition that was being talked about. Though she’d never gone there before but she knew it wasn’t a fight to the death but to see who’s strong enough to beat an Alpha. If one does and he is already an Alpha’s son, his pack would be rewarded greatly but if it is from an Alpha-less pack like Blood star, that person could become Alpha. But she didn’t want the Alpha position. She could easily hand it over to someone else later. She wanted to see Chase one more time and deal with him. Play by the rules? Would he survive her fireballs? Once he was out, then she can go ahead and wipe out his pack. But she had to get stronger first and…
Her mind was already going somewhere with grand ambitions, but Rolandro cleared his throat a few times before she returned to reality.
Rolandro had never seen an Omega space out this much and be so hard to wake up to reality. He recalled that Beatrix only needed to touch her hand to wake her up from her zoned-out state. Blood is really thick!
“Em… sorry about that. So you said their location… you aren’t sure of it?”
“Nope. Besides, their clan and our kind are at odds. It’s best we don’t cross each other’s path.” Rolandro warned.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Oh, really!” Lavana said with a nod.
“Thank you for the information,” she said before going back to her seat.
The witch clan and werewolves were at odds?
If she brought the little one back to her family, would she be detained?
Why was there a feud between the two clans? Did Beatrix know about this? Maybe she might not. She was just a kid.
This piece of information was not good news to her and wouldn’t be so for the little one either.
“You seem troubled. Is there anything wrong?” Rolandro asked.
‘N-No. I’m alright.” Lavana retreated back to the chair that she was seated on earlier and put a cookie into her mouth. Just like the first one she took earlier, this one tasted really great too.
As she chewed on it, her mind went to other things.
Rolandro felt that this Omega was kind of weird. Whatever, he was in no position to forcefully pry into her life. She saved his son!
