Filed to story: Maleah The Angel Of Death Novel
The entire dining room has gone quiet, and Nightmare keeps staring at me as I sit back down; she seems to be unable to register that I am telling the truth.
Elyse tells her to sit down in her seat and to stop bothering us. Yeah, maybe when hell freezes over she will get the message, but I am not counting on it.
The Omegas start serving our food, and everyone waits for Elyse to start eating, but she waits until the Omegas are seated with their plates in front of them.
I can tell not everyone agrees with this, but none of them will object against protocol; we are halfway through dinner when I notice that my cup of coffee is empty, and the same goes for Dax’s cup.
I had noticed that the moment Elyse started eating, some of our Pack-members were constantly calling the Omegas away from their breakfast; I ask Dax if he wants another cup of coffee, and as he nods his head, I get up and grab both our cups.
An Omega wants to get up from her seat, and I tell her to finish eating; after all, I can get a cup of coffee myself. I see quite a few Pack-members looking at me strangely, but I don’t really care; the Omegas deserve to finish their breakfast just as much as I do, and if that means getting up myself to get another cup of coffee, then that’s what I’ll do.
Dax thanks me as I place his coffee in front of him; Elyse just smiles at me as I sit down, and through the mind-link she thanks me for allowing all our Pack-members to enjoy their breakfast.
The fact that I am Miss D’Angelo is the main topic of every conversation in the dining room, but me getting up to get myself another cup of coffee is intertwined with that conversation quickly. Apparently, if you’re more than a Low-ranking Pack-member or if you are a world-famous designer, you are incapable of doing anything yourself.
I will be glad when breakfast is over; I need to tell Levi what I heard yesterday because he needs to be prepared, and I have to make sure that I have all the ingredients I need for my recipe.
It’s the best defense I have against the herb they are planning on giving him, but I need to get working on it as quickly as I can, and I need to make sure it has time to settle in Levi’s system. I might suggest that all other members of our leadership take it as well.
I would hate it if they targeted someone other than Levi and I did nothing to stop them from getting what they want: a High-ranking member of our Pack as their Mate.
I thought most females had learned by now to accept the ways our bond work and not to go against their Wolf or Lycan, but some have a Wolf or Lycan that agree with their Human. They are the ones that will never give up to get a High-ranking Mate, and they are willing to do just about anything.
Maleah’s p.o.v.
Dax is the first one to get up, and we all follow his example quickly as I see some of the Omegas obstructing a few females from coming for us; looks like it is something they do more often by the looks of it.
Mack guides me out of the main dining room while Elyse and I are talking about our appointment we have later today; we will be taking a look at the ideas I have for the dresses. I will take note of every comment I get, and I don’t mind if they are good or bad; they have to wear them after all.
Stepping into the Alpha office, I see only our current leadership are present, and that is when I realize this is their usual morning meeting, not really a meeting that calls for our former leadership to be present for.
“Sorry for disrupting your normal meeting, but last night during dinner I overheard a conversation that I needed to bring to your attention. A friend of Nightmare…” I don’t get to say anything else as everyone is laughing their asses off, and I shake my head as I sit down next to Mack.
“If you’re done laughing, you might want to hear she is planning on tricking Levi to mark her,” I say, and the office turns deadly silent as they look at me.
“She is planning on using a banned herb to make it impossible for Levi’s Lycan to tell him there is no connection, while the herb will give Levi every other sign that there is a bond, and she is hoping to trick him into marking her as his Mate,” I explain, and I see Mack reaching for my back to pull the journal out.
“That is why you told me to get this from the attic; you know what to give him to reverse the herb’s effects,” he says as I shake my head.
“No, I have a recipe for a herbal juice that will prevent the herb from working. I just don’t have all the ingredients to make it, and as a thank you for saving his ass, Levi can go and get them for me,” I say as I place the list on the coffee table.
Levi grabs the list from the table and tells me that I will have everything by the next morning. “Make sure you get the quantities I wrote down; I need to make enough for all of you,” I say as I get up from the couch; Mack grabs hold of my hand to pull me onto his lap.
“Where do you think you’re going, Angel?” he asks as his mouth moves from my ear to my neck, making it impossible for me to answer him, and I bite my bottom lip to keep from moaning.
“Mack, cut it out. I would like to know why we all need to take that herbal juice of hers,” Dominic says, and Mack growls softly against my skin before he turns me to face Dominic.
“She told others about what she was planning on doing, and it wouldn’t surprise me if at least one of them asked for the herb. To make sure none of you get tricked by it, I want to make sure you all take the juice; better safe than sorry,” I answer Dominic while I am leaning against Mack’s chest.
“When did you hear them talking about it?” Dominic asks, and every head in the room snaps towards him; I am sure I told them when I overheard the conversation, but maybe Dominic has selective hearing.
“As I already mentioned, I overheard their conversation last night during dinner,” I tell him, and he looks at me with confusion in his eyes.
“The gift of hearing, Alpha,” I say as I roll my eyes, and
Dominic smiles as he realizes he had forgotten a few things.
“Sorry, but having a Pack-member with that kind of abilities is still a bit unreal. I will probably make a few more remarks like this one before I am used to it, and I apologize in advance for it,” Dominic says.
I try again to get out of Mack’s lap, but he keeps holding on to me tightly, and I quickly come to terms with the fact that I will be sitting in on this meeting. It only takes me a few minutes to realize that this meeting isn’t about anything important, because no one is on an assignment at the moment.
