Chapter 85
The Alpha aura.
He was using it on her.
In less than a second, there was a thudding sound and at Daniel’s feet lay Brittany on her hands and knees, face down to the floor.
He side stepped her without breaking eye contact with Naomi, whose eyes had widened twice their original size when he went round the bed, closer to her.
She scooted away from the bed, lurnching forward, but he reached out, and grabbed her hand. Turning in fright, she slapped his hand away and yelled,
“Don’t touch me!” And that single command was all it took for Daniel to freeze.
Panting, she stood Infront of him, the bed a barrier between them. Inclining her head to the other side, she narrowed her eyes, wondering if her words had been put literally
Daniel wasn’t moving. His hand was still extended in the air when he had reached for her, a lost look in his eyes, almost like he was in a trance.
Not feeling his imposing aura on her, she got up, a hand on her knee, the other hand, using the bedpost to support her stiff body.
She got to stand beside Nora just in time for Daniel to suddenly blink, his hand coming to fall at his side.
He narrowed his eyes at Naomi who stood upright, staring at him in shock.
Brittany stepped in between them again.
“You obnoxious, overbearing, little, conceited devil! Just who do you think you are to use your Alpha aura on me p>
“F**k that. What did you just do to me?” He directed his gace to Naomi who peeered over Brittany’s shoulder.
In confusion, Brittany turned over her shoulders, her lips almost brushing against hers when she gave Naomi a probing look.
“What’s he talking about p>
“I don’t know.” Naomi whispered. It was a half-lie, Okay?
She clearly saw Daniel freeze after she had said a simple unrelated sentence but she couldn’t understand exactly what happened.
Brittany turned to Daniel and their similar cold gazes locked. Daniel smirked and simply lowered his chin to his chest, his eyes simply raking over body, sending cold shivers running down her spine. Soon, she staggered back, refusing to submit to him again.
Naomi caught her in her open arms and something in her snapped as she glared at Daniel.
“You can’t just exert your aura on her because you feel like. That’s improper misuse of your power and authority. You’re a shameless jerk p>
His left eyes twitched and as he walked round to the other side of the bed, Naomi saw the gold stud earring on his left ear glint under the sunlight from the windows before her wrist was roughly grabbed by him, her other hand holding onto Brittany.
Her lips fell apart when she saw the flames of anger and shades of blue swirling in different waves and motions, deep in his eyes.
She shuddered when with one swift move, he had her chest against his, her hand against his upper chest, reflectively keeping her distance.
Brittany was left standing alone and she gritted her teeth In seething anger.
She lurged at Daniel and he unwillingly let go of Naomi who fell back on the bed and watched the two fall back on the floor with Brittany at the top. She held Daniel’s neck between her hands and squeezed tight, her honey colored eyes flashing with evil glints emanating from them.
“Brittany- ” She began to protest p>
“I. Will. End. You!” Brittany growled, bloodlust in her eyes.
Daniel calmly gripped her hand about his neck and tore it apart, kicking her on the chest and sending her flying. She flipped on the air and landed gracefully on her legs.
Turning to Naomi, she grabbed her hand while Daniel got up. Before he could compose himself, like Brittany wanted, he was distracted long enough for his cousin to take Naomi out of the room, away from his ’clutches p>
Daniel touched the sides of his neck and saw the glint of blood. Sighing, he wiped his fingers on his jeans and stepped out, banging the door behind him.
There was a reason she was hiding her identity by mandatorily putting on that mask, and he was going to find out.
’Daniel’
His right foot was just an inch stepping onto the ground when Barton’s voice went ringing through the mind link.
’What p>
’You’re been needed in the living room to see our guests off. Come down quickly or risk Mum chopping your head off p>
He was reluctant about this and thought about not going but at the end of the day, he was Alpha and can’t keep ignoring his duties.
It was improper for his guests to leave without him seeing them off after they had all arrived from afar for his ceremony.
He grumpily went downstairs.
He heard his aunt chattering on and on as he climbed downstairs but they all looked up at him once he appeared, still lingering at the top of the stairs.
Outwardly, he looked casual and calm but inside, was like an inferno burning up everything in him and he badly wished he had Brittany’s head between his two hands so that he could crush her head into dust and watch her fall limply to the ground.
He was angry and his thoughts about hurting her was outrageous and indespecable but he felt like Brittany was standing in his way of whatever decision he chose to make.
Who does she think she is?
She may be his cousin but that’s where it all ends. She was the Beta’s mate of Blood moon’s pack and was no way related to Dark Risers’s pack and that was how he wanted it.
Seeing the guest off wasn’t as cringy as he thought. He just had to force a smile, let the older women give him a peck, give Alpha Justin a brief handshake and a quick shoulder to shoulder hug with Lebanon. Talia was busy with Jephthah and John was at the sidelines so he only waved while the cars that had onced occupied a great portion of the garage, zoomed away.
Only one left.
Blood moon Pack’s guests.
He looked back at the mansion and began walking in, with Barton at his tail as usual.
“There’s something… I have to tell you.” Barton said as they made their way upstairs.
“Can’t it wait p>
“Naomi… healed p>
Daniel froze before turning to his cousin square in the face. He closed his eyes, shook his head and reopened them again.
“What did you just say p>
