CEO's Runaway Mate and Her Cubs

«Tell me everything,» Lucretia said.

She didn't want to ask Armando to come with her when she thought about running away. She knew very well his wicked nature, and she didn't want to end up alone with him.

Amanda had been a safer option, and, all things considered, it had been fun. Except for meeting that wench who was after Renato, but that part... Oh, who cared?

Still, hearing that Armando did something to Amanda didn't hearten her. Giusy was also one of those brats she hung out with just because she couldn't push them away. Giusy would turn her back at someone at the first chance... Lucretia didn't ever think she would accept to come with her.

The rest of her friends just told her to go back home while Amanda packed her things and followed her to the worst place to go.

«We caught her taking a stroll in the forest as if nothing had happened... You know, Omegas shouldn't wander around alone...» Giusy said, shrugging her shoulders. «We taught her a lesson. One she learned, seeing how she didn't come back.»

«You did what to Renato's sister? Do you want to die?» Lucretia replied.

«He's an Omega now. He can't do anything.»

«He will return to being a Beta soon. You two are stupid!»

«Stupid? And we weren't two, babe. Also, after returning a Beta, he won't mind a little game we played with an Omega. That's how life works, Lucretia...»

«Sure. Let me see the pics then. Or rather, send them to me. I'll take a look later...»

«Oh, but Armando must want to show you by himself...»

«I'll pretend to be surprised, I promise. Now send me.»

«Sure,» Giusy murmured, rolling her eyes. «Here

She tapped on the screen and sent the files.

«There's also a video,» Lucretia noticed from where she was sitting. Her phone was still in her brother's hands. But she would have got it back soon enough.

«Yes... It seemed fun to film the event. In case she came back to bother. We'll show her that we have a tape with her desperate begging. Like this, she won't talk back to us anymore, Lu...»

Lucretia's brow twitched.

«Don't call me like that.»

«Why? You never disliked it before...»

«Just don't. I have a name,» Lucretia replied.

«Sure, girl... You're acting strange today.»

«It's because I just came out of seclusion. Now, let's take a look at it. You say it's funny. Let me judge,» Lucretia murmured, sitting closer to Giusy.

She had chosen a seat far from the others. After they left her alone, she felt uneasy around them. Yet, she couldn't just continue avoiding everyone. She had to overcome the fault they did to her and continue living in her pack, after all.

Her eyes moved on the screen, and she didn't even blink for the whole duration of the video.

Meanwhile, Renato was talking with his Alpha. He had been admitted because Luciano thought he would apologise and beg to become a Beta again.

«You haven't thought it through,» he murmured, shaking his head.

Renato hadn't even mentioned his own position. All he did was talk about his sister, about how some brats chased her... Prank between teens; was there really a need for the Alpha to be involved?

«I still don't know the names, but I will find out, Alpha. You should have smelt the blood... They hurt her deeply, and there were more of them.»

«I don't have time, Renato. I thought you were back to your sane mind. But I guess I was too optimistic. I don't care what the brats do while playing.»

«Playing? They hurt her!»

«Oh, how grave can it even be? Moreover, it's normal. She's an Omega now.»

«Then, if you made her return a Beta like before...»

«No. And asking me will make me only be more sure about my decision. You better think of yourself, Renato. You're also in trouble, aren't you?»

«I care about my sister more.»

«You brat,» he whispered. «You come here without any proof. Why should I punish some teens? Just because of your word? It doesn't mean anything right now, don't you realise?»

«But Amanda...»

«Enough! Leave.»

«But... What if I find proof? Will you help me, Alpha?»

«Proof,» he snickered. «What kind of proof? Well, I understand how you feel... I also have a sister. Let's do this: you can take care of it personally. Isn't that enough?»

Renato's dark face froze for a moment.

«Perfect, Alpha,» he said. «Thank you.»

«Now, go. And don't make them realise it was you. Even after giving you permission, I won't be able to defend you if they want revenge against you. Be a little smart, won't you?»

«Yes...»

«Yes?» Luciano said, surprised. «Yes, what?»

«Yes, Alpha.»

«Good. Now, go. Being an Omega can't be an excuse to forget your manners, can it?»

«Of course not, Alpha. I'll go.»

He walked out and checked the message arrived while he was talking with the Alpha. It was Samantha.

He opened, his heart beating like crazy. Was that just an insult? Oh, he deserved it. He would take it if it was.

Was she asking to talk with him? To clear things up?

That would be awesome, too much to be true. Maybe, she was designing a trap for him. She would have exploited him just like he did, maybe doing worse... But he deserved that as well.

Whatever it was, it was from her. It was welcome.

Then, he read the first word. Seven.

Seven what? Was she asking for something? Was it some code?

Only later did he read the names. So, it was like that. No surnames, but he could find those people without too much struggle.

The name on top made an alarm ring in his mind. Wasn't Armando one of Lucretia's friends? Oh, but was Lucretia involved?

Better for her that she wasn't.

Renato left the Alpha's residence and walked out. He didn't even see the looks of the others. He couldn't care less about being an Omega. He had something more urgent to deal with.
