Chapter 10

"I have missed you," Adriana said softly and placed a hand on his chest. Alpha King Mitch slowly removed her hand from his chest and took a step back. "Why are you here?" He asked as his eyes studied her face. "Because I missed you!" She said hysterically. "Don’t you miss me?". "Where is my Omega?" He asked, going straight to the point as it became impossible to maintain his composure. "An Omega? Do you have one?" She asked, feigning ignorance. Closing in on her, he grabbed her by the neck and immediately applied pressure. Adriana’s eyes widened in horror, and she clawed at his grip until he let her go. She fell to the ground and coughed violently. "Why would you think I have your Omega? I have no interest in Omegas!" She yelled, glaring up at him. "Because I know you, Adriana. I know how low you can stoop to prove a point when things don’t go your way." He replied through gritted teeth. He crouched down to her level and peered closely at her with their face just inches apart. "Till I find my Omega, you don’t get to leave. And if I don’t find him, then you meet the same fate." He spat coldly. Adriana shivered inwardly at his threat. She was stubborn beyond words and won’t back down. "You can’t hurt me, Mit. H My father is also an Alpha King," She replied with a smile, although her hands were trembling, as she knew he never says empty words, and he meant everything he just said to her. "When that time comes, we would see if your father would think about you," He shot back. "Keep her locked in a room," Alpha Mitch said to Gale as he walked out of the room in large strides. The rest of the house was combed through the next few hours, with no stone left unturned. Alpha Mitch’s fears slowly increased. If the Omega left the Mansion, that means it would be difficult to find her. He thought silently. The guards and Maids panicked among themselves as they could not find the Omega, and the maid assigned to Tristan had bawled her eyes out, waiting for the Alpha’s wrath. When the search came to an end, it was futile. Alpha Mitch went to his study with his beta following behind. "Select some men who would start searching around the city, do it discreetly. I don’t want the news to get out because the pack members would get agitated," He instructed and sent Gale away before he sank into his seat as his mind went to Tristan. He realised he doesn’t even remember Omega’s name. Gale had told him once, and he had forgotten. "Where are you?" He muttered under his breath with his head held in his palms. Oblivious of the search party going around for him, Tristan and Nita decided to attend lectures together the following day. Since he didn’t have his books and learning materials, he stuck with Nita during the classes. Their classes ended, and they made their way to the cafeteria for lunch. "What do you want to eat?" Nita asked as she picked up plates for both of them. "I don’t know. I’m not hungry," He replied in a small voice. "Why? You said you last ate yesterday morning. Are you trying to kill yourself?" She asked as worry coated her voice. Tristan looked down at his feet and gave up the argument as she handed him a plate stacked with food. Since it’s just the two of them, they went to occupy an empty seat. Tristan had barely sat down when an apple was thrown at his head from behind. The impact knocked him forward, and he almost planted his face into the plate of food on the table. The rest of the students erupted into loud laughter and hoots. Nita’s grip on her spoon tightened as she narrowed her eyes. She glared at the Alpha, who threw the apple at the other end of the hall. His cocky grin and wink at her made her blood boil. "Hey Tristan! Bring the apple over here. It slipped out of my hand," One of his cohort of Alphas said, and the rest of the group laughed at the joke. "Ignore the m," Tristan whispered to Nita and slowly began eating. "I will try my best to do so, but if they cross the line, I will pluck their eyes out with this spoon!" She said through gritted teeth. "You filthy slutty Omeg, Isaidd, bring my fucking apple over here!" Noah, the same Alpha that talked earlier, yelled again. Tristan tried his best to ignore his voice as fear gripped him. They always pick on any Omega they feel got their attention, especially male Omegas. And if they decided to do so, it’s always helpful; ul, he wished they would get bored soon and leave him alone. But his wishes did not come to fruition as Noah walked over to them with his hand dipped in his pockets. "Hey guys! He is fucking ignoring us!" He yelled to his friends, still seated. "What the fuck?" One replied, and they all walked over to join him. Tristan’s hand trembled, and he dropped his spoon and looked at Nita with unfocused eyes. "You should have done what I wanted when I asked nicely, Omega," Noah said and suddenly yanked his head backward by his hair. "Let him go,o" Nita screamed and sprang to her feet and jumped on Noah, causing him to let go of Tristan. "You fucking bitch!" Noah yelled and pushed her to the ground. "No!" Tristan yelled as he raised his feet to kick her in the stomach after throwing her to the ground. He covered her body with his and let them kick at him instead. The rest of the students watched on in amusement as it wasn’t an unusual occurrence. The kicks stopped suddenly, and Tristan was relieved. He looked up and was shocked by the scene in front of him. "Ah!!! Fucking let me go!" Noah winced in pain as his hand was twisted behind his back, a nd the rest of his gang ran off in fear. Tristan looked at the pair of green eyes that stared at him with a smile. Trevr is the son of the school chancellor and the strongest Alpha in the school, but despite his status, he always maintained a low profile and would only show up once in a while. But since last semester, he had been showing interest in Tristan. Unable to decipher his true intentions, Tristan had always ignored him. "Are you alright?" He asked Tristan after letting Noah go. Tristan slowly nodded his head. Trevor stretched out a hand to help him up, and Tristan stared at the hand for a few seconds before he slowly accepted it and allowed him to pull him up.
