Elder! Age is just a number

Chapter 15

"Why are all these people coming to our pack?" Edward thought as he examined the corpse of several people. If David knew that it would come to this much strict checking, he could have just skipped putting away these corpses like others. But now he wants to know the way how these people died. This brutality can only be expected from the alpha of the pack. Otherwise who else with a sane mind would do this. Meanwhile Edward was being a bit doubtful of what Dane saw during that night. He didn't want to make assumptions but the way Oliver carried himself through the rogue attack was remarkable. He wanted to know how an omega can kill rogues like this. Now it's not like he thinks omegas are lesser species but he knows the strength they hold. Meanwhile Oliver was enjoying himself.
…………..
"You should know what your so-called ELDERS are doing. I am 100% sure that it's Oliver" David found a new way to get Oliver for himself.  If he defames Oliver enough, he can have him. And it's obvious that he is just pretending to be badass other than that he can't hurt a fly. He was thinking this when a knock was heard. "Can I come in?" Oliver asked in a timid voice. "Of course yes". David wasn't quite able to hide his excitement.
"I bought some tea to help you with fatigue." He said as setting the tray on the small table placed in the guest room. "I prepared it for Edward so I brought it for you too." Oliver said smiling. "Thank you Oliver. " David said. "What you usually do Oliver?" He asked while checking out Oliver. "Just potion making stuff." Oliver smiled brightly. "Just the omega stuff you know." Oliver watched as David drank the tea.
"I'll be sleeping now. Good night Oliver." "Good night." Oliver's sick smile went unnoticed by David.
.........
Oliver combed his hair back. Getting ready for a family dinner brings back memories. Memories of him and John. He remembered getting scolded for small things. But it wasn't like this with Edward. But again, he remembered those heavy dinners, the atmosphere kept pressing him down. Moreover, Sarah is acting strange these days. Have she always suspected him?. No. It has to be someone who gave her the idea. Was it Vanessa? He was planning on ending that bitch but again, he can't just leave that puppy behind. Edward is constantly chasing him. Which Alpha would be this much pestering? He smiles at his question. Edward was spoiling him. He knows this. But then again, he can't forget about what John did to him. And that Adam and Sarah didn't bat an eye. He was thinking of stuff when Edward came out of the bathroom. "Edwa~rd" for a second Oliver eyes linger over his body. "What should we take as a gift to your parent's house?" He asked as Edward threw the towel on bed. "Anything good?" Oliver while looking at the towel "your dead body won't be a good gift. Edward smiled sheepishly. "sorry!" He picked the towel and hung it to dry. "What about some cupcakes from that shop we ate at?" Edward suggested. "Ok! Let's do this." Oliver wore his shoes and took the car keys. "How long will David be here?" He asked. "At Least till they solve the mystery. His beta is handling the pack right now. "Ohkkkkyyyyy" Oliver said as he handed the keys over to Edward.
……..
"Hello Sarah!" Oliver greeted. "Vanessa!" He hugged her. "How's the baby doing?" He asked, eyeing  her stomach.. "f~fine" she said wondering what gave him this confidence. "You are here too?" They all heard Edward's cold voice. " Oliver!" He hugged him from behind. "Oh! I am fine darling. " Oliver pecked Edward's lips. They all settled down and the dinner ended with nothing special happening except the snarky comments made by Oliver. They were just harmless comments but only Oliver and Vanessa knew what they meant in reality.
He looked down at his plate as he compared it to Vanessa's. John always called him over weight. Body shaming isn't something that affects him much but coming from his mate while he was carrying his child made him rethink his past. Edward put a bit more on his plate nudging him to eat properly. "So, how do you feel? About your mate of course?" Vanessa asks Edward. "Well I feel blessed." Edward grin whole heartedly. Sarah smiled at this, a bit relieved. "Ain't gonna ask me?" Oliver asked Vanessa to raise her eyebrows.  "Omegas feel at home with their mates" the sarcastic laugh made John squirm in his seat. "You are right!" Oliver put the last bite of steak in his mouth.
