Vengeance: Fate of the weak Omega

Chapter 8

Daphne's p o v

The extent at which my heart raced was alarming to me myself. Had they changed plans and decided to run off when I keaset expected it? Perhaps was that why they were eagerly trying to convince me to leave Kian behind with them?

Fear gripped me as I frantically searched the house, my heart pounding behind my ribs.

Stephen and Rosie were nowhere to be found, and neither was Kian.

"Stephan! Stephen!" Panic set in and I dialed Stephen's number, only to be met with no answer. "Kian!"

My mind raced with possibilities -where could they have gone? Or maybe something had happened and they had to take Kian to safely. I tried to mind link with my mate but he wasn't giving me any access. What could be going on?

I walked down to meet the other werewolves around. "Perhaps have you seen Stephen anywhere with my baby?" I asked and they shook their heads in negative.

"Or with Rosie?"

"No, alpha!" They replied again.

My worry grew with each passing moment, and I felt like I was on the brink of a breakdown.

Since Stephan wasn't responding, I tried with Rosie and gladly she let me link with her.

"Rosie!, where is Kian?"

"Oh Kian? He is with me!" He says casually as if that was ok. She says it with the authority of a mother!

"Where are you?"

" Daphne ... " She must have detected the anger in my tone as her voice began to crack. "calm down. I am at the nearby central park."

As soon as she said so I didn't even let her finish. I guess my car keys sand hurried instantly. Driving back to the pack as quickly as I could.

When I reached the park, I saw her waving at me from under a shade.

She was in a short red gown hiding Kian in her arm. Seeing her alone sent a new surge of fury through me. When I reached her, she was already explaining. "Kian was getting fussy, so I thought a change of scenery would do him good ... "

I immediately get Kian out of her hands and check to make sure he is okay while he just mellows at my presence.

"I just brought him here so that ..."

"And you did not think you should have told told me?"

"I ... I thought ..."

"You thought what? " I snapped. "Do you know how worried sick I have been? Coming home to not finding him or anyone else? "

"It's just a harmless decision to take him out!"

I couldn't believe her audacity. She wasn't even remorseful any more.

"Why didn't you tell me? I've been worried sick thinking about all sort of things. Next time before you take my baby anywhere you have to ask for my permission!"

"Hey what's going on here?" I hear Stephen's voice form behind me and I turned to meet him.

"Daphne is angry with me for not informing her before bringing Kian here."

"Because that's what you should have done."

"Daphne! Kian is safe in Rosie's hands, you don't have to worry."

"And where were you?"

"I was at work. I called Rosie to ask about the baby that when she told me she is here so I acne to get she and Kian back home!"

Nothing he said made any of this seems right. They were both evil people plotting my downfall. How would he see anything wrong with it and for all I know he could be lying. I bet they were here together before. With my anger surging faster through me, I stormed out of their presence, holding Kian firmly, heading straight home.

I could hardly believe Stephen's nonchalant attitude, and the lack of remorse from Rosie. It only fueled my fury more!

My mind raced at the the mare thought of it all. I could not handle them around anymore even though to them I was the odd one among them.

But they still needed me around, didn't they? For my power.

Stephen and I remained indoor in silence with Kian cooing- the only sound that was audible.

Suddenly I caught a scent form behind the front door.

"Think of the devil and she is here." My wolf ranted inside me and almost immediately, a knock sounds on the door.

"I'll get it." Stephan says and git up.

When he opens the door my back is still tuned and I hear Rosie's voice. "Is alpha Daphne in?"

Of course she knew better than she was asking.

"Come in." Stephen said and I listened to her footsteps getting closer behind me.

"I am sorry about what happened earlier." She mumbled. "I should not have taken Kian without informing you." I was surprised by her sudden change of tone. Was it because Stephen was here now or perhaps they had planned it together?

"When you left, he was restless and , his cries were still persistent so I decided to just take him out to cheer him up. I honestly didn't think it would be a big deal, Daphne."

"I am not against you taking him out. I just think you should have told me so I'll be aware where he is."

"You were in the meeting so I didn't want to distract you. I have learned my lesson now and I'm sorry. I just love Kian so much and take him as my own son too." As she was speaking, Kian was even stretching his arms out to reach her. "I never meant to upset you or overstep my boundaries. I would not want to cause problems of any kind for you three."

"It's okay, Rosie." I said but I wasn't going to apologize for scolding her the way I do. Because she knew what she was doing. She and Stephan. This was their game to get me to trust them more. I knew it.

After saying all she had to say she left.

I didn't leave the place where I was standing. I reminded I the same speit and position until I heard Stephen coming closer to me.

"You see, Daphne, you were just over reacting. She meant no harm." I barely blinked as he spoke. "I knew you are concerned about our son's safety but you can't let it blind you to taking people as enemies."

He says bedew walking away. How funny these people are. Stephen and Rosie. They wanted to gaslight me into thinking I am the bad guy in this circle, whereas in fact, I was the victim?

When Kian marked his two year birthday, it dawned on me that it was time to carry out my plan. The one I have been plotting since the day I discovered I wasn't carrying my own child.

"When would you be back?" Rosie asked as she drew Kian into her arms.

"I already informed Stephan; it won't take me more than six months bedew I get back. In the mean time, I trust you'll take care of little Kian for me."

"Of course we would." Stephan say quickly and I lift my luggage from the floor. "I'll call you everyday." He leaned forward and kisses me kn the cheek.

"Alright darling. See you soon." I bade them good bye and as I headed to the airport, I almost laughed at their stupidity because they thought I was the stupid one.

But little did they know where I was going and what I was going to be cooking against them for the next six month.
