My Beta Girl

Chapter 22.

First of all, I would really like to apologize for the long period of absence. Due to some issues with my account I couldn't update.......  A sincere thanks to all those readers who have read this story yet. 

Cold emotionless eyes swept across the kitchen landing on two slender women. One lively and beautiful moving across the kitchen chatting animatedly other standing beside her nodding and shyly answering to her inquiries. When the cold gaze landed on the second woman, her body stiffed. She could feel uncomfortable pricking sensation on her back, as if someone planning to dismantle her. 

She turned around on instinct, when her eyes landed on the figure on the doorway  her body turned rigid and eyes widened, "B-bet-a ?"

The newly caught rouger woman who shrank back in fear as her eyes met the ice-glaciers  ones of Selena.  Jesse who was brightly smiling a second ago suddenly frowned, turning. 

"Selena?" an understanding look crossed her eyes and she softly smiled, "Come in! We are making pumpkin pie! You like it don't you?"

"Hmm" the silent agreement, satisfied Jesse who was used to her Beta's cold unchanging expression. She walked towards the counter right behind Jesse's back to have a perfect view of the rouger woman. Her actions could be taken as both warning or a protective stance. 

"Where are Robin and the others? Why didn't they come along?" Jesse asked, stirring the batter nonchalantly ignoring the tensed atmosphere.

"Training. Pack warriors. Kyle. Didn't want me around"  her short fill-in-the-blanks reply made Jesse sighed. -and she blames her wolf for being lazy with words.

"Did you meet our guest Cresta and her son? Robin said they'll soon be joining our pack soon. And little Max is really adorable, Mrs.Martha already loves the kid, even his name is same as her son." Jesse continued her one-side excited conversation.

A cold glint flashed in Selena's eyes, "You bet I met them before" she whispered with a creepy smile. Like an animal guarding it's cub, or a predator ready to snap the prey's neck. Her gaze made the other woman cower back in fear, palm instinctively clutching her chest. 

"Huh? What did you say Sele?" Jesse blinked unable to sense the exchange behind her back. In an instance the creepy smile was wiped off her face as a cold mask retook it's place. 

"Hmm. Met before. Pack prison. Caught trespassing." she said to convey a subtle warning to Jesse. 

"Oh god! They made you stay in the pack prison! When? For how long? What about little Max? Don't tell me they made him stay in the prison too?" Jesse asked with concerned, sympathetic -horrified expression as if looking at great injustice. Her reply almost made Selena stumble and facepalm herself. -Oh dear Bestie!  How did a scheming wolf like you fall for such an innocent idiotic little lady? -She cured Robin in her head. -Didn't you teach her even a little bit of self-preservation?

Meanwhile on the training ground, Alpha of the pack who was supervising the highest level of warriors suddenly sneezed.  When no one was looking a dreamy expression formed on Robin's face............. Is my dear adorable little mate missing me? 

"Another three rounds and we are ending the training for today!" Erwin's loud voice from the woods caught his attention. -So soon? Why suddenly-ohh......

His expressions turned slightly cold as he watched a slightly smaller reddish-brown wolf lag behind the group panting, struggling to keep up with the level one and two warriors. A rarely trained omega will no doubt have stamina issues. He could faintly hear his rapidly beating heart from the huge distance, it was like he was trained till his last breath, on the verge of collapsing.
