CHAPTER 44: 044

Tristan flinched when the sound of the door forcing open startled him.

He had expected to see an angry Alpha Raul storm inside but his mouth slowly opened speechlessly as Alpha Mitch walked inside instead.

His eyes were cold and his face expressionless. His hair was a mess and his beard had grown to an unexpected length.

Alpha Mitch scanned the room briefly until his eyes landed on Tristan at the corner, the pen still held to his neck as he seemed to have frozen on the spot.

Alpha Mitch didn’t even spare the maids any glance as he approached the Omega.

Wordlessly, he took the pen out of his hand and threw it to the ground without looking or asking. He then picked him up effortlessly without looking at the Omega. It was as if he was a robot.

Tristan however, could not take his eyes off him.

His heart was beating so loudly that he could almost hear it.

"He is here" he thought in disbelief, and happiness bubbled within him. While he was happy, he noticed his clenched jaw, the Alpha was pissed and without doubt he would finally snap at him. Or maybe abandon him again like he has been doing for weeks now.

Maybe if something happens to him he won’t abandon him. He thought in desperation.

Even if he had felt used and deceived, he at least expected him to feel a little reluctant and apologize to him but he didn’t.

Alpha Mitch walked out of the room in large strides, he carried him like he weighed nothing, neither of them said anything but Alpha Mitch stopped suddenly in the middle of the long hallway.

His eyebrows dipped as he looked at Alpha Raul at the end of the hallway with disinterest.

He wasn’t expecting him to heal so fast and follow after him but he was an Alpha King. He could do just as much.

"It isn’t enough that you attacked me, you even trespassed into my home" Alpha Raul said. The unseriousness and joke in his voice had vanished, and he walked towards them with precision.

Tristan sighed and avoided looking at him while keeping his eyes on Alpha Mitch instead. But he was growing worried as both Alpha Kings were looking angry.

It would be bad if a fight broke out between them.

"Please let’s go home" Tristan pleaded softly as the Alpha didn’t move even when Alpha Raul was storming towards them.

Turning to the side, Alpha Mitch slowly dropped him to his feet and finally looked at him.

"Don’t go anywhere, stay here" he ordered firmly while staring deep into his eyes. And Tristan nodded. He knew better than to do otherwise, things were getting out of hand for him to still act without thinking about the consequences.

Few men walked behind Alpha Raul and they had their weapons out and ready to attack—they hadn’t done so earlier when Alpha Mitch arrived because they were asked not to do anything to him.

"If you leave with the Omega, your pack house would be greatly affected. You really do not care about them?".

"That’s none of your business. It seems you have hit your head somewhere Raul. That you think you could infiltrate my pack and place spies all around me and I won’t know about it?" Alpha Mitch asked, a chuckle escaping his lips despite his cold eyes.

Alpha Raul stopped just two feets away, he slowly brought out his claws while staring at the Alpha wordlessly.

He knew it would be hard to work under his nose without him catching on.

But why hadn’t he said or done anything all this while?.

Tristan let out a scream that tore through the air when Alpha Raul jumped at Alpha Mitch with full claws on display.

Alpha Mitch shifted back to dodge his attack on time but he caught a snip across the face.

Without missing a beat, he kicked Alpha Raul hard on the chest and sent him flying into the men behind him.

Alpha Mitch touched his face as a droplet of blood dropped on his hand before the wound closed up.

Alpha Raul and his men remained on the floor for a few seconds and Alpha Mitch turned towards Tristan.

"Let’s go" he said and beckoned at him to come.

In the moment of their discussion, a sudden shot rang out. Alpha Mitch turned his head sharply towards the person that fired the shot.

In just a split second, Tristan moved to stand in front of him shielding him.

Everything happened under a minute and a gasp escaped Tristan’s lips as the force of the bullet propelled him into the Alpha’s arms.

Alpha Mitch was too stunned to react, his body went rigid as the Omega collapsed and immediately passed out in his arms.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Alpha Raul yelled at the person that fired the shot and got up off the floor.

No one was expecting the sudden turn of events and he ran towards Alpha Mitch and the Omega.

He wouldn’t have bat an eye if it was the Alpha, his wound would heal and it would have helped him to make his plans faster but what would he gain in harming an Omega? Only his rival’s wrath.

Finally coming out of the daze, Alpha Mitch lifted Tristan off the ground as blood was beginning to drop out of the wound.

He hurried towards the exit but Alpha Raul stopped him.

"Wait, it would be too late if you take him away. Let me call for my pack doctor" Alpha Raul said in a hurry as he followed after him.

Alpha Mitch’s chest heaved as he fought to control himself.

He was trying to think straight and not let his anger blind him.

"Please" Alpha Raul begged, for the first time ever.

Alpha Mitch agreed and a doctor was called immediately. But before the doctor arrived, Tristan had lost so much blood and his skin was turning purplish blue.

Alpha Mitch held him close as he realised clearly that he cannot lose him.

"No, please". He begged.

The door to the room they were in opened, and the doctor walked in with Alpha Raul behind him.

The doctor started immediately but he paused after cutting Tristan’s cloth away to reveal the wound.

He bent forward and sniffed at the wound.

He looked back at Alpha Raul and Alpha Mitch noticed something was amiss.

"What the hell is going on?

Speak!" He bellowed, his voice shaking angrily.

"I think he was also poisoned" The doctor revealed and Alpha Raul’s face paled.
