Alphas, Betas & Protectors

9. Dinner

Gillian and Gavin were the guests for dinner at Lucas and Lorraine's house. Gavin had cautioned Lucas that Lorraine should do no cooking and omegas had to do all the house work. This had prompted him to recruit more help around the house. Omegas were cooking and serving the food and drinks.

Lorraine was not happy how Gavin was intimidating the omegas and scrutinising their jobs. An omega girl poured soup on the floor that got the wrath of the alpha who told her she was to sleep on the streets for an entire month after she cleaned up the mess. He was truly harsh in his sanctions. Luckily no other servants messed up.

After dinner Gillian asked Lucas if they could go to walk in the gardens leaving Gavin with Lorraine at the dinner table.

Lorraine asked "Alpha Gavin, I think our servant didnt mean for the accident to happen. Could you please reduce their punishment?"

Gavin frowned "Why do you sympathise with her. Let the omega take responsibility Lorraine."

Lorraine said "But Alpha Gavin..."

Gavin said "There is no buts. I should have made it longer than a month really. Come to think of it, the punishment should be more severe."

Lorraine now could see what her brother meant the other day. Gavin made it worse if anyone pleaded for those who he hated and he punished personally.

Lorraine decided to change the subject "Alpha Gavin. Do you want to go into the gardens?"

Gavin said "No."

Lorraine said "Would you like another drink?" She then stood up "I will get a drink."

Gavin said "Call one of the omegas to get a drink."

Lorraine walked to the drinks table and started pouring herself a drink "I dont mind."

Gavin stood up and walked over to her "Did you just disobey me."

Lorraine froze "Well,...I..."

Gavin said "You just did. Don't deny it. I asked you to let the omegas do the work but you went ahead any way."

Lorraine clutched the glass of drink in her hand "Its just habit."

Gavin said as he stood in front of her "Some habits need to die. I made a request and I expect you to listen."

She looked away.

Gavin reached his hand to her face and grabbed her chin making her look upwards at him. "You are defiant. I like you fiesty. Behind closed doors you can challenge me."

She said "I wasn't challenging you alpha."

Gavin said "Its Gavin to you... What do I do with a. spitfire like you. Huh?" He leaned closer and was so dangerously close. His lips were too close.

She freed her face from his grip and took a step away. She then started sipping from her drink.

Alpha Gavin didnt expect her to back away from his affections. He said "Lorraine. Why did you pull away?"

She put her drink away on the side table. "Alpha Gavin... I didnt pull away. I am just drinking. I was thirsty." She lied.

Gavin closed the distance between them and she felt trapped as she took a step backwards and her back hit the wall. He put his hands on either side of her on the wall. He said "Really? You pulled away. You know what you did. You refused my affection.." He then leaned closer.

She said "Please alpha Gavin. Don't."

Gavin raised an eyebrow "What is the matter? What is it you dont want me to do? Say it."
