Bab 28: Bow Down To No Other

*Noel*

'Beta… Help me…' A very faint mind-linked voice had reached me. It was from a young girl, probably in her maturity age. 'Where are you?' I asked her but she just repeated her plea. Everything in the house seemed to be in order so I went on to investigate.

Her plea continuously echoed through my mind, fainting more every time she repeated. I rushed to search for this young pack member. Then by the back section of the kitchen, I heard mumbles. As I went closer, I could hear her faint voice and a wolf whose scent I could recognize.

"P–Please… Let… me… go…". Her plea turned into a whisper and whimpered in vain.

"Shh… Oh no sweetheart… It's practically your fault for looking so good in that uniform of yours –".

"Alpha Gregory." His sudden recognition of my presence proved my suspicion. The young girl was one of our young omega housekeepers in his grasp, clearly taking advantage of her. I had caught him off-guard so I performed a head-lock unto him, covering his mouth in the process, so she could move away. "Go!". I instructed her as I struggled to keep this alpha secured. She gave it her all to stand up and ran away. In my relief for her escape, I found myself being thrown in the air and I hit the wall hard.

"Ah! Look at what you've done! You let my meal escape!". He whined as I pulled myself up. "It's a pity, she was even trying to resist my unparalleled charms." He then looked at me like I did something wrong but I glared back at him.

"Alpha Gregory, this is not your pack. I won't let you have your way with my members –".

"Bah! What's wrong with fucking one omega? Huh?! I was just having a little fun.". Scumbag! "Now I'm bored again, when is this meeting going to start?". Then a sudden realization flashed in his eyes as he eyed me from top to bottom. "Guess you'll have to suffice… 'KNEEL'...".

A blunt force suddenly fell upon me and made me kneel. It was so sudden I got caught off-guard. I'm trying to resist it but it's making me weak. My wolf is also standing his ground but this force is weighing us down too much. All I could do was glare at him.

"Hoho, the King was right, you have a great glare... 'BOW DOWN TO ME'...". My body is moving on its own, I'm trying to resist but it is only delaying the command. "Hah! You Blue-Moon wolves are really admirable! You're the first pack that is trying to resist my Hypnosis." He then approached and stamped his foot on my back when I still resisted to bow down completely. But I won't, this bastard, I'm bowing to no one except for my Alpha, I'll die first before I bow down to you.

"Remarkable… But those who try to resist me shall die!" He was about to strike me when he suddenly dodged an attack from the side.

"You dared to lay a hand at my Beta!? My brother!?" It was Kyle and he was enraged, he nearly transformed into his wolf form, "You better have a very good explanation for this, Gregory!".

Alpha Gregory just huffed and said, "I was just teaching him a lesson for minding his own business.". Kyle growled loud and made a point, "Anything that goes into our house is his business, mind your tongue!".

"Tsk, fine…". He then snapped his finger and that blunt force was gone. In my release, I fell completely to the ground. Kyle helped me to stand up, I was panting but thanks to our wolf training I was able to endure and got back on my own two feet.

"Gregory, Kyle…". A female voice came from a window above the back kitchen.

"Ah, our lovely Selena, didn't expect you to be looking for me, perhaps you've fallen for me as well…?" Alpha Gregory and his flirtatious approaches.

"I'll die first… The King had requested for us to start the meeting.". Finally, I can get away for a while from all this ruckus –

"You, Blue-Moon's Beta, you're requested to join the meeting as well.".

WHAT?! Kyle and I shared a look and were utterly confused. What in the world is that brat thinking? Why would I be requested to an all Alpha meeting all of a sudden? I just sighed deeply and prepared myself for the drama later.

Alpha Gregory then let out an amused 'huh' and commented, "Well, this is interesting.". He gave us one last smirk before he left while Alpha Selena deadpan stared at us for a few seconds then left as well.

Another round of silence circled us both until I broke it, "Took you long enough…". Kyle then lightly hit my head and scolded me, "What were you thinking?! Going up against an Alpha?! I know you're strong lil' bro but dude, come on!".

"What is this? Are you worried about me?".

"Of course I do! You're not just my Beta, you're my brother. Geez, that's a stupid question coming from you.".

"Right, sorry about that.".

"You should be… Don't you need further treatment?".

"No, I'm good. I'll visit our pack doctor once the meeting is done.". Somehow, I'm not used to seeing Kyle this worried. Since Father died, Kyle always puts up a strong face and when he became Alpha, it was either his serious phase or goofy phase. He seldom shows this side of him, he believes that being Alpha always needs to be the stronger face of the pack, and showing vulnerability would put the pack at risk.

"Alright then… I, um… Are you sure you don't need –".

"Kyle, I'm fine. I'm your Beta after all.".

"Right…" He then took a very deep breath and confidently walked ahead. I never admitted this in front of him but I looked up to my brother. Even though I always find him annoying and loud most of the time, and not at par with our father's ways, he is the best Alpha we can ever have. I would never bow down to any Alpha other than him.
