Chapter 5 Five - Alpha

"Urgh." Matthew touched his throbbing temple, he frowned and tried to open his eyes.

The atmosphere around him was dead silent without a single sound.

He turned his head, paying attention to his surroundings. There are only three people in the room, himself, Allison, and one of his beta subordinates.

What happened? Suddenly the memory that happened right before he fainted flashed through his head. Growling, Matthew clicked his tongue, "Hunter Page."

He raised his body to his feet and went to Allison whose still unconscious on the floor. He moved his hand to hold her body on his thigh and touched Allison's head.

"Wake up."

Allison opened her eyes in surprise and sat down swiftly.

She quickly turned to Matthew who was staring at her with an annoyed face. "I'm sorry, Sir," Allison muttered, feeling like she had made a mistake.

"No, you didn't do anything," Matthew walked over to the other beta and woken him up.

SKEET!

A call from sigma.

Alpha and Sigma can have a telepathic relationship that can only get through if both of the parties agreed. It was one of the abilities that arise from the blood agreement.

Matthew cleared his throat and sat back on the sofa. He blinked at the telepathic request from Hunter, opening the connection.

"It's good to see you're awake."

Matthew clenched his teeth, "Where are you taking her?"

"Don't worry, she's in my protection."

"Omega isn't supposed to be under sigma's protection, you know that, so don't mess around and give her back to alpha's protection."

"You know, I still can't accept why omega has to be under alpha's protection. Isn't omega ultimately a sigma's belonging?"

"They are not things that you can own, Hunter, all of it already in the agreement that The Seven Nation made long before we were born in this world."

"Well, it still confuses me."

Matthew, silent his thought and buried his face in his palms. "We can find out your location by force."

"Of course you can, I also don't intend to keep her by my side for too long. Just want to get acquainted with her for a moment. I'll return her to you tomorrow morning."

Matthew's body rose quickly from his sofa, "You know the rules, Hunter!"

Suddenly a burst of laughter was heard in Matthew's ear.

"Why are you freaking out so much, I'm not going to do anything. Besides even though I want to do something I can't. Your sudden panic motion makes you look stupid, Matthew. You sure know I can't touch her."

Matthew took a deep breath, remember the explanation that no one can touch an omega sexually before she turned eighteen.

"So, the three of you can calm down and settle the matters regarding the announcement of omega in the Western Continent without worrying much about Ellie."

Matthew returned to his seat on the sofa and raised his hand to call Allison.

"I'll bring her back to you tomorrow morning, okay."

After saying that, Hunter's telepathic connection was cut off. Matthew leaned his head on the sofa and closed his eyes with his arms.

"What can I help you, Sir?"

"Get Asher and Caleb right now."

Allison nodded slightly and took out her cellphone to call Blood and Diamond Alpha's first beta. "They're on their way here."

"Good," Matthew replied, wiping his face with his hand, "and Allison, be a good girl, and get me a drink."

"Whiskey?"

"Yes, Sir."

After some time, Allison returned to Matthew's side and handed the man a glass of whiskey.

"Sit down."

Following Matthew's words, Allison sat on one of the single sofas next to him.

"Does your head still hurt?" asked Matthew drinking the whiskey. He looked around the room realizing that the other beta was not in the room.

"Not for now, but it still hurts a couple of minutes ago."

"How insolent is Hunter."

"Sir," Allison calls his name telling Matthew to hold his mouth, but the man ignores it.

"He already knows the rules that The Seven Nation has put in place regarding omega, but he's still doing this to the point where he has to knock us out."

Allison didn't give any comment.

"He's been too drowned on his power over the year."

Exactly a year ago when Hunter appeared in front of him as a sigma, Matthew who initially had complete control over the continent as the strongest alpha must take a step down for him. It was one of the reasons why Matthew was displeased with Hunter's presence.

He didn't deny that Hunter's ability as a sigma was really helping the Western Continent and other alphas. But Hunter's profanity and idealistic personality was another thing that irritates Matthew.

The man didn't even care much about the history that built in this world regarding the rules for the human classification types. He is too stubborn and always do whatever he wants.

Matthew shuddered and drank all the whiskey on his glass. He moistened his lips and put his empty glass on top of the table in front of him.

After a while, Allison got a notification from her cellphone. "Sir, they've arrived."

"Tell them to go straight up."

"Yes, Sir."

The room door was knocked from the outside and Allison immediately walked over to open the door.

Asher Morris, a tall man with dark, pearl-black hair and green eyes gleaming behind the glasses that perched on his nose walked in swiftly. Behind him was Caleb Atkins followed with a smile on his face. Caleb's blonde hair and blue eyes made him no less handsome than Asher. It was only natural for them as an alpha to be that good looking.

Seeing Asher and Caleb enter the room along with their number one beta, made Allison waited politely by the end of the room with the other betas.

Matthew turned his head and raised his arms open in the air.

"What's the matter for calling us together like this?" asked Asher approached and answered Matthew's high-five.

"Yes, I was playing with Michelle Reed when you told me to come," says Caleb calling one of the top actresses in the Western Continent like an ordinary person.

It's as if he was bragging about his position as an alpha that took control over the Western Continent's entertainment industry. He then slaps Matthew's high-five and sat down beside him.

"I wouldn't have called you if this wasn't an important matter."

"Is this news worth 100 points?" asked Caleb leaned back with a smile. "Because I need a 100 points news to leave Michelle Reed horny on my bed before I could even taste her."

"Hey," Asher interrupted Caleb's dirty words, but he just replied with an innocent smile.

"There's an omega on the Western Continent."

"What?!" the two alphas leaned forward from their seats with a surprised face.

"I found her today."

"How old is she?" asked Caleb impatiently. Looks like the information was worth a lot more than 100 points.

"Seventeen years old."

"Seventeen years old?!" shouts Caleb holding his head.

"Seventeen years old, how come?" Asher touches his chin, still in disbelief at the fact that the Western Continent finally has an omega.

"I think she's hiding."

"And not reporting to the government or us, well that's a surprise," said Asher tilting his head.

"Is she beautiful?" Caleb leaned closer to Matthew quickly, making him wince in disgust. He tried to push Caleb's body away.

"Of course, she's an omega."

"So, can we see her?! Where are you hiding that girl?!" Caleb rose from his seat and scanned the entire room, then his eyes caught on one of Matthew's bedrooms. "You keep her in your room?"

"Sit down, Caleb," said Matthew pulling Caleb's hand.

"Yes, please be quiet for a moment," Asher rubbed his head, feeling a headache from Caleb's screaming.

"What do you think?" asked Matthew to Asher who think of this as a more serious problem.

"Well, seventeen years old..."

"When is her eighteen birthday?" asked Caleb.

"She said four months from now."

"Four months to get all the lessons of an omega. That's going to be tough."

"Well, she's still an omega, surely she has the ability to absorb all of it in a short time," said Asher.

Matthew took a deep breath as he stomped his feet repeatedly, "If you think about it carefully, that girl's decision to hide from us all this time was pretty annoying."

"Of course. She can help us make the best decision for several times that can help reduce losses for the Western Continent."

Matthew nodded his head in agreement with Asher's words.

One of the abilities of omega is to help make an important decision for a country. This is because they have the vision to make a decision that proved the most beneficial.

"Unfortunately, we can't punish an omega," said Caleb with a little smile.

"Where did you put her?" asked Asher eventually, his hands folded across his chest, "Because I clearly don't smell any of her scent in this building."

"Ah, that's right!" said Caleb while took a sniff around him.

"Hunter took her."

"What?!" Asher rose from his seat with an angry face. "Sigma can't carry an omega alone! Did you give him permission?!"

Matthew snorted, "As if. He knocked me out and took her away."

"Woah, it really does like Hunter," Caleb stared straight at the thought of his sigma leader.

Asher circled around in front of Matthew and Caleb, grimly, "That bastard! If only... If only..."

"If only you could do something to stop it?" asked Matthew with a flat expression. "Don't dream about it, nothing can stop Hunter no matter what he does, so we can only thank him enough that he didn't kill any of us."

"He can't kill us," argued Caleb closing his eyes, "but we can kill him."

It is one of the things stated in the blood covenant between sigma and alpha. A sigma cannot kill an alpha. So, if a sigma kills an alpha in their continent it will simultaneously kill itself. Therefore, Hunter cannot kill the three alphas, but to injure them on the verge of death was another matter.

Asher laughed sinisterly, "With our strength as alpha and his strength as a sigma? No way."

Matthew raised his hand again in the air, calling for Allison. "That's why I told you we can't do anything and can only stand by with his act like this."

Allison stood next to Matthew as she bent her body closer.

"Get me another whiskey," said Matthew who then saw Asher and Caleb alternately, "do you guys want a drink?"

"Oh, sure, sure," Caleb smiled cheerfully, all it takes to make his mood better was turn out to be a drink.

"Yeah, it would be great. I need a little bit of reassurance from this crazy information." Asher raised his hand, waving at his number one beta, Ian Winston, to get him a drink.

"Now, seeing you two calmed down for a bit, I'll have Allison prepare a meeting tonight with The Seven Nation."
