Chapter 3 The duke

Michael Vance, was an alpha elite, a man of grace and poise, with his parents dying at a young age he had been given the inheritance a task of burden as every eye was now on him, especially as he presented as alpha and a pure one at that fact both of his parents were alphas.

His status and secondary gender had the right and wrong crowd lining up for him, but he had never cared to look at the omegas, even the ever-persistent princess Isabelle, who was the king's daughter,

a spoilt brat who felt like the world was at her fingertips to control and have, but one thing that she couldn't get no matter how hard she tried was the Michael A heart had already been taken by the unknown,

an omega in a quiet town that had his eyes since he had traveled down to his holiday manor located in the quiet village On the first day in the town, dressing as a commoner not to draw attention to himself and rather to enjoy his time away from the princess and his official duty, He had walked to a secluded lake where he had come across a figure so into her painting that she didn't notice the crunch of the dry figs until he got so close,

making her gasp, in a split turn she had grabbed shrapnel, with instincts, skillfully tackling him down both had an upper hand and turned her over until his huge frame had covered her.

They had both reacted with alarm then surprise they looked at each other Beautiful, he thought as he stared on after the omega but his trance was broken after he heard her talk

"Who are you?" She called that was then he noticed the small sharp object lined to his neck, With a little smirk pulled off of her, with his hand up showing he had no defense of sort, "I don't mean no harm, I just came closer to admire your work" he noted pointing at her painting, making her guard lower a little,

"My apologies omega, I didn't mean to scare you" he spoke warmly "Can I ask your name?" he asked, already enthralled by her presence as she watched her pack, she had then stopped and for split seconds their eyes met, and like an instant spark had then drawn to each other.

"It's Anna," she answered after studying him and he didn't 'give off the dangerous effect "yours?"

He had thought over it, and since he was still trying to keep his location unknown from the princess and other elites that seem to be on his case, he had to keep a low profile including his name, instead of telling her his name was Michael he had lied instead

"My name is... Kal," he spoke earning a nod from her "Where did you learn to spar like that?", he said trying to form a conversation

"My papa had taught me all that she called, to protect myself," as she had said the last part with intent,

"That's commendable," he said as he stared her down, even if she may want to deny it, Michael could feel the chemistry radiating off them as his wolf naturally wanted to get closer and run his scent over her,

"I have to go," she had called before getting up, my papa is waiting, "Wait will I see you again?" "Who knows Kal, maybe?" She had called back with a smile.

At first, she was wary of him, but after a few weeks of knowing him, she had concluded that he was safe, as they had often met at the riverside It was like a lifelong accomplishment for alpha Michael to watch her paint as he had never seen any unique painting like hers, each stroke with a precision that he didn't know why she didn't sell it

"You know Anna, your pieces are so remarkable, I don't know whether to be happy or sad that I'm the only one who gets to enjoy this," he said calmly as his head laid rested on the tree trunk, he had just heard her giggle, as she added a familiar sign on her painting that read 'Bella' at the edge

"I don't really want to be out there until I'm ready, but for now I just go with the flow and paint what I'm feeling," she said earning a hum from him

"And what do you feel?" "Anger, despair, the fact that I'm too weak at the time and the lower class are looked down upon like dirt, I want to make them regret that,"

"Well it's so beautiful but not as beautiful as you, your thoughts are wild as it is fascinating Anna, and how strong you are for you and your father, you are amazing" he added making her stop painting as he heard a faint gasp, he could tell she appreciated the compliment as her scent turned sweeter in acknowledgment, As the alpha saw that as a positive sign,

he crept closer until their face were inches apart, their hot breaths mingling, as Michael leaped forward and caught annas luscious lips in a kiss

"Fuck" he uttered before grabbing her nape and laying her bare on the grass, it was a secluded place so one would come to interrupt, the alpha wasting no chance as he sealed their lips back for more, with the omega indulging in his ministrations she held on to his hair, her hands clutching on his baby hairs, as the kiss was getting erotic by the second, but parting up as they had lost their breaths

"Do you want this?" He had spoken assuring to the omega, and with certain eyes, she had nodded in an instant he had then gone to her hole that had been leaking excessively from the pure lust and pleasure, making the omega blush from the embarrassment of how bad the alpha had affected her, he could tell he anna had never done this,

instead of taking her right there and then, he would use his tongue to pleasure her "Fuck you're so beautiful" he called as he went down on her, with anna using her hands to cover her mouth from the instant pleasure., as they were in public.

"You're mine, all mine," he called over again and he felt her quiver from the hot intrusion of his tongue into her hole, She had come with a loud moan as her body shook in orgasmic pleasure "Fuck, Kal," she had called as he kissed her inner thigh and took her back up. He positions her in a way she had straddled him on the grass, his hand going to her waist as his mouth still searched her neck dropping love bites here and there,

"You're so beautiful, kind strong, and for me only me, I want to mate you anna, I want you and only you as my mate, I'll take care of you and your father first the rest of my life" he called earnestly

"You don't even know me Kal, I don't want your pity or you to take my burden Kal This is not ab burden omega, as your future mate, id want to know everything about you and how to help, I care for you deeply anna, I love you, he said those words, with so much sincerity in his eyes that had the omega melting before kissing him before taking her hands to his chest

" feel this?" he called over his beating heart " you at the only one to ever make me fucking feel the way I do"

"You're so good to me alpha, but can I have time to think?"

"Of course, anytime you're ready" he assured But her face fell from happiness to a little distraught,

"um, alpha need to tell you about this alpha had been pursuing me for long, I have never accepted but he is so persistent,"

"What? who is he?"

"He is um, the lord of this capital son, Edwin Gregor, he um, a very angry person, I just don't want any trouble or clash between you two" "Has he ever tried to hurt you?" Michael asked as his face formed a frown "No, he just disturbs me from time to time," she explained trying to calm his already spiking scent,

"you don't have to worry alpha, there is a reason I took up training to handle myself" she assured,

"I will be here for you just tell me he called squeezing her waist" as she nodded,

"I know"

*****A FEW HOURS LATER****

Anna had already parted early with Michael as was on her way home, she had sensed another figure towering up to her, in an instant her hand was grabbed by non-other than the tyrant Edwin "Edwin Let me go!" Anna snarled

"Oh? Feisty as ever!" he mocked with a smirk but immediately died down as he saw her neck with dark hickeys, his smirk, then turning into a sinister, growl as he came forward,

"Who dared touch what is mine!!"

He roared as he came closer to anna with dark intent Anna had just stood spooked out of her mind as the roar was unexpected,

all she knew was that this was major trouble.
