章節 19: Failed confrontation
Out of reflex, I headbutted the person before I kicked him in the stomach.
I turned, to kick him some more. And that was when I realized that it was Storm all along.
"Fuck, Strawberry, do you want to kill me?" He growled.
I scowled. "Why did you hide your scent?"
"So I can perfectly sneak up on you." He straightened, and folded his arms, with an amused expression on his face.
"Why?"
"What's there to ask about?" He raised a brow. "Where are you going to, at this time of the night? Sneaking out to see that female Omega?" He chuckled.
"No, I was seeking you out."
"Why? Don't tell me it's because of that stupid Beta. He should have known better not to challenge an Alpha. I taught him a lesson. He needs to know how to keep his hand off things that don't belong to him." He growled. "I won't hesitate to beat him some more should I get the chance to do so."
I sighed, "why is it difficult to understand you? Sky hasn't had a problem with you, yet, you didn't think twice about —"
He covered my mouth with his palm and drew me flush against him.
"Don't make a sound, three teachers are coming this way." He murmured when I tried to fight his hold.
Against my better judgement, I relaxed in his arms, though I wanted to kick the hell out of him.
True to his words, I heard footsteps approaching.
"Things are getting out of hand." I heard the family voice of our physical education teacher. "We need to let the council of elders knows."
"And risk having our academy getting shut down?" Another teacher asked.
Unlike the first, I wasn't able to identify this one.
"But we can't keep things under wraps for long. Those Omegas' parents need to know what happened to their kids." Another teacher chided in.
"What exactly happened to their kids? Not only could we not locate the bodies of the Omegas, but we don't know what happened to them." The physical education teacher chided in.
My eyes grew wide as I finally realized what they were talking about.
The rumours of the missing Omegas are true.
"I bet the person has a sick pastime. Almost all the missing Omegas have red hair. I'm afraid, should this continue, we will lose all the Omegas since only a few of them have different shades of hair." The second teacher sighed.
Red hair?
Just like me?
"But what are we going to do? Do you have any solutions to the problem?"
"Not any that I know of." The physical education teacher sighed. "We can only increase the security around the school. And most importantly, we need to protect the students from the other Academy least one of their omegas gets kidnapped."
"You don't need to worry about that. I asked their head teacher not to bring any red-haired omega for the contest. This way, we will have less to worry about."
"That's a good idea!"
Their voices got fainter the farther they went, until I couldn't hear them any more.
I headbutted Storm the moment the teachers were out of earshot.
"Shit, Strawberry, can't you do anything without adding violence?" He growled at me.
"Says the Alpha who nearly killed a Beta, to show off his powers."
"That was for a just cause!" He glared.
"Oh, tell me about it, then." I folded my arms, with a glare narrowed at him. "What do you —"
"20 Omegas have gone missing." He said, shocking me.
"20? But the teachers—"
"Doesn't know the correct number." He ran a hand through his hair. "Another Omega was taken tonight, that was why I rushed over to be certain you are okay."
"20 Omegas? How possible is that? No, wait a minute, how did you know all this? And of what concern is it of yours had I been taken?" I furrowed my brows at him.
"You are important to me, Strawberry." He took a step towards me. "Who will I bully have you been kidnapped?"
I took a step back.
"How did you know the number of Omegas taken? Are you the one taking them?" I narrowed a suspicious glare at him.
He chuckled. "Had I been the one, why will I need to visit you to check if you are okay?"
"It happens. You might be one of those sickos who commit homicide."
"Homi, what? What does that mean?" He furrowed his brows.
"It means nothing." I folded my arms. "How did you know the number of Omegas taken?"
He shrugged. "I have my ways, Strawberry. If you so badly want me to tell you, then, you have to let me sniff your neck."
"Sniff my neck?" I scoffed at him. "That's the last thing I will let you do. You have to tell me what I need to know. Else, I will inform the teachers."
"Do you think I'm afraid of them?" He took a step towards me.
Almost immediately, he released his pheromones.
"Can you stop?" I covered my nose with my palm.
Though I know it won't work for long, I'm not ready to let him control me like he did before.
"Why? You always make me do things like this, Strawberry." He closed the distance between us and leaned in to whisper. "Tell that Beta of yours, to keep his hands in his pockets. Should he dare touch what's mine again, I won't hesitate to tear him to pieces. And I mean my threat." He leaned in and sniffed my neck. "Wish I can place you around my neck, and sniff you all day."
I gritted my teeth.
"I will kill you, Storm."
He chuckled. "I will love to see you try, Strawberry."
Before I registered what was happening, he carried me up, bridal style, and started going back the way I came.
"Where are you taking me?" I raised a brow at him.
"To your room, of course. I need to be careful with you. I can't let those damned kidnappers get to you."
Crippled by his strong onslaught of pheromones, I wasn't able to do anything as he carried me back.
He gently lowered me to the ground and ruffled my hair.
"Stay safe, Strawberry." He sniffed my neck once more before he turned and left, whistling like an old Grandpa.
I clenched my fists, pissed that once more, I was taken advantage of, by that damned orange.
Fuck Storm.
Fuck this comic!
Fuck transmigration!
I took a deep, steady breath before I opened the door of our room, and stepped in.
Sky was still lying on my bed, with Ray sitting next to him like a mother hen.
"I'm back." I forced a smile.
"Oh, my—" Ray wrinkled his nose. "Why do you smell like an Orange?"
