Alpha's Nala

Chapter 37. Vacation! Destination: NALA

Michael Angelo

Presently, together with my group, we started the process of checking in only to be told to wait for another five minutes.

Weak and tired, we could only agree.

Twenty minutes already passed, and still no key to our rooms...

I groaned my frustration and started marching towards Geneva, the front office staff assigned to handle our registration.

Geneva, upon seeing me, shot me an anxious look. She politely excused herself and from there, she approached Heinz.

“Our contract,” Lucky murmured by my side, “it's still not here…” he added with a frown.

Lucky, among my men, has the most sensitive werewolf ears. He can hear even the smallest raindrop when it hits the ground.

Superpower they may say, but we prefer to call it a gift since Lucky was deaf before...

He was only seventeen when rogues attacked our west border. Lucky, as a newly trained BETA, was assigned to do border duty at that time and, as proud as he was, he tackled the danger head-on.

Treating it as somewhat one of our training sessions — foolish, I know…

Obviously, he was injured. But the most damaged he gained was the loss of his hearing since the rogues brought a bomb and detonate it during a fight.

Lucky was too close for comfort to the explosion, causing his eardrum to explode as well.

It broke him, to be honest.

He almost gave up the BETA position and requested to die since he can't accept the fact that he turned deaf.

Until Nala came.

For some unknown Miracle, Nala brought back Lucky's sense of hearing through prayers to the Moon Goddess. It was impossible at first but she made us believe that it would be possible.

As persuasive as she was, she got all of us to pray for Lucky's healing and after over a month, miraculously, my beta's hearing was back.

Though, he also attained the gift.

“What contract are you saying?”

I eyed my Beta, completely baffled.

“It's the one where our inclusive and exclusive of goods and services are mentioned since we are under a promo.” he paused and I noticed him tilting his head to the side — he was listening.

“This team needs to have it so they could input it into their database. And since you are here, they will require you to sign it… for approval purposes,” he simply explains.

“Pity,” I muttered.

Heinz, after talking with Geneva, faced me. He explained the same thing as Lucky did and that brought me to think of the worst-case scenario to our signup process.

“Well, where is it anyway?”

I snapped.

“The last time we checked, it was with our General Manager for a sign of approval. Let me make a quick call her and try to verify it's — ”

“Excuse me, sir Heinz, Ms. Dyme is on her way. She has the contract.”

Geneva shakily reports.

Heinz lets out a sigh of relief.

“Could really count on that girl.” he murmured and then turn his attention back to me.

“Just give us a minute your Highness. Our GM's secretary will be here with the said contract. Highly apologies for the inconvenience though.” he bowed but I motioned him not to.

“That is fine. As long as you could guarantee me that I'll get my rest tonight.” I stated, running a hand to my tired face.

Heinz only nodded and left me to wait, which I did with Blessy sleeping on my arms now —she passed out fifteen minutes ago.

Satisfyingly, it didn't take long — as promised.

Heinz called me to the front desk for the contract was near.

Since I will be signing a paper, I decided to hand Blessy to Jay and continued waiting at the counter.

Suddenly, I smelled it again… that scent from before.

Roses, peaches, and a hint of vanilla…

Fuck this!

It's been three years… why now?

To question further, why here?

Believing that this was just another migraine coming, I massage my temples.

Bear, on the other hand, was pacing back and forth in my head. He was becoming antsy again.

Shit!

Soon after, a small guy emerged from the shadows of the corridors and on hand, I recognized the contract.

I sniffed in his direction and the smell was coming his way… mainly on the bundle of papers.

Without thinking twice, I instantly snatched the contract from the guy and sniff it some more.

The scent lingers here and was stronger than before...

It was all over it and for more than three years of not inhaling that sweet and delectable scent of ‘her’, Bear and I went apeshit.

This was my mate's scent — Nala's scent!

Before the guy could even run, I grabbed his collar, and with a low cold voice, I asked, “Where is she?”

The guy didn't respond as his eyes widened in horror — he was afraid of me.

But I don't give a shit!

I needed some confirmation and my patience already snapped the second I smelled Nala's scent.

I'm now a raging animal — too wild and untamed.

“Answer me!” I boomed and the guy trembled in my grip.

“I — I d — do — don't understa — and, Si — Sir…” he stuttered but Bear and I could hardly care.

Abruptly, I felt the boys' hands on me.

“Alpha! Calm down.”

Lucky attempted to ease my grip on the guy's collar.

I didn't budge.

“Alpha, do not make another scene!”

Rocky gripped my shoulder, warning me about the impending destruction if I let my animal instincts win again.

At first, it snapped me out of my violent thoughts. However, when we inhaled ‘her’ scent again, the grip I once let go of came back to the guy's collar.

“Alpha!” my Beta and Gamma both shout.

I didn't give a damn anymore.

All Bear and I want are answers and having none at the second, infuriated us further.

We wanted BLOOD this instant…

“Answer me!” I shouted at the guy, who was currently pissing his pants.

Pathetic.

I was about to ask again when the scent hit me for the fourth time and this time, it brings the warmth of a presence.

Bear and I automatically stilled.

Shortly after, I heard a gasped and my head snapped in its direction. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Nala…” I rasped.
