Peculiar Case of an Alpha (KENTELL)

CHAPTER 09

TRIGGER WARNING: Rape, read at your own risk

Paulo felt a gap as he proceeded inside the Santos Company. Walking while Josh is not beside him is surprisingly lonely. To not hear the omega's steps as he walks in front of him. His sweet scent of lemon and jasmine would penetrate his nose along the way, signifying the older's position and power.

He loved those strong scents of him. Josh loves to flaunt his power in any way he can. Though, It didn't exclude him in the eyes of many as being incapable, considering he's an 'omega'. They were considered fragile, small, and weak. That people thought they needed protection. More likely a mate.

Paulo disagrees, his boss is more powerful than any alpha combined. He can be as brave and strong. And Josh has proven it for the 28 years of being beside him.

But right now, Josh needed protection. He hoped that Ken would be by his side, whenever the delta couldn't.

Because after all, he's not working under his omega. He's working under the Santos in general.

Paulo finally reached the top floor of the company. The bell sound of the elevator echoed while the doors opened in sync. Paulo walked out through the hallway in a fast-paced. The one waiting for him is more impatient than Josh and anger won't easily be subsided by this woman.

The man thought that it's been a while since he saw her, but he expected her beauty is still mesmerizing. If he got used to Josh's scent and personality, for some reason he couldn't do the same for this intimidating woman.

Her scent is something euphoric, from what his memory could remember. She could make anyone bow down to her just to have the taste of her skin.

Maybe that's why she's still powerful to this day.

A shiver run down the delta's spine as he reached the office and saw that woman inside. Beyond the double glass door, he saw her sitting on a working table, scrolling on her iPad.

She was still the same as how Paulo could remember, he didn't have an opportunity to meet her at their family dinner, and seeing her again seems to flood past memories, the bad ones.

But the man deeply inhaled and opened the door with care.

"Lady Santos." He called and slowly walks to her desk. Up close, he realized how Josh's genes were unmatched by his mother, Veronica.

His omega has always been petite, in line with how the older man would look at others with such a soft gaze. He was elegant like a fragile doll. But Veronica is the contrary.

Her features are sharp and daunting. It seems time didn't matter as her looks were far from her age. Long raven slick hair tied in a bun. Large diamond earrings glistened, matching the black suit she was wearing with her hourglass body. Skin white as snow, with eyes shaped like a witted fox.

Those eyes looked up to him with expectation. "How is it?" One word yet her voice sounded like flowers on spring, it was soothing and lovely. But Paulo thought how easily she could manipulate someone just by her voice. He could never get used to her facade.

The man then revealed a brown envelope that he's been holding the entire time and laid it on her desk. Veronica already knew what was inside. She instead opened it to see the developed pictures.

Pictures of Ken and Stell, walking inside the sushi restaurant.

The omega hummed in satisfaction. "A dinner with a secretary? That's lovely. What's his name?"

"Stellvester ma'am."

"He reminds me of his mother. Those eyes of his" Veronica then shuffled the other pictures, checking them one by one.
