What Did I Miss

Theo’s P.O.V.

I picked up the same familiar scent which I wanted to forget with all my will. How could she be here? “Find her”, Knight suddenly roared at the back of my mind and I groaned in frustration. “I am going… I also want to know why she is here?” I answered her while following her scent. I was surprised to feel that her scent was still intoxicating to me. She must be of 20 years and has all grown up. Was she still as chubby as she was back then? My mind played the image that I had in my memories in front of me and I shrugged my head immediately. No… I had to find out why she is here and would have ensured that she would go back as soon as possible.

I followed her scent and my brows immediately shot up when I realized that it was the wing allotted to the warriors coming from different packs. What was she doing here? Her scent led me to a room. I opened the door without knocking but to my disappointment, there was no one inside the room. Her scent was still strong in the air. It meant that she was here a few seconds ago. I walked towards the washroom to check whether she was inside or not. I knocked on the door but didn’t hear any sound from inside.

I opened the door the next second and it was also emptied. “She must have sensed our presence”, Knight spoke in a sad tone and before I could say anything to him, he shut off the mind link between us. My wolf was really weird sometimes. I took a deep breath and then walked towards the open window. We were on the second floor right now. There is no way that she would jump from here and run away. I scoffed at my thought because it proved that she was still the same coward that she was back then. She was always bullied by other children of her age or even by younger ones for being chubby and weak. She never tried to fight back and always was a crying mess.

I looked outside the window and inhaled sharply. Her scent was now fading and it gave me a weird sensation. I had to talk with my dad first. He had to bring the warrior who had won the best warrior award from our pack. Those warriors also had to fight a duel to prove that they were chosen right. There was no way that she had become a warrior by now. She was an omega and had a very weak body. She was the first wolf who got a fracture when she fell down from a tree when she was ten years old. She was a werewolf but had the body of an average human. I still remembered she was a laughingstock for a whole week at that time.

I stayed near the window for a few minutes and then decided to go to my dad. I must know the reason for her coming here. I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me. “Hey, Theo”, I stopped in my track when someone called me from behind. I looked behind and smiled brightly when I saw Daniel coming towards me while running. “Hey, Daniel”, I greeted him back and spread my hands in the air to hug him. He embraced me tightly and I also wrapped my hands around his torso.

I stiffened when I found her scent on his body mixed with his scent. Daniel was my first instructor in the pack when I started my training. He was from a warrior family and wanted to be a warrior just like his parents. We released each other from our embrace and he looked at me from head to toe with admiration in his eyes. “Wow… you have become so handsome”, he praised me while looking up and down. “You two have become more attractive than you are before”, I also teased him and he shrank his nose making me smile while shaking my head.

“Why are you here?” he asked me and I took a deep breath. I didn’t know how to answer him as our wing was on the opposite side of the palace on the third floor. “Who else come with you?” I ask him instead of answering him. “Uncle Albert and Rhea. You remember Rhea, right? That chubby and fragile girl” he told me and then asked me whether I remembered her or not. I rubbed my ear while averting my gaze from him. “Yeah… I remembered..Why is she here?” I answered him and asked him the same question which was bothering me for the past few minutes. He grinned and then patted my shoulder making me furrow my brows.

“You are going to have a shock of your life when you see her. Come, let’s go and meet her”, he said and pulled me by my arm. I immediately stopped him by putting my other hand on his hand on my other arm. “Uhhhh… Daniel.. I have to go as I am already late for my training”, I told him and he pouted while swelling his cheeks. This was his style to show his disappointment. “You didn’t tell me why is she here?” I asked him again and he smiled this time. “She is the one who won the best warrior award from our pack”, he announced proudly and my eyes widened in shock.

“What? Are you sure?” I yelled in disbelief and asked him quickly. He glared at me this time. I was his future alpha but he also shared a friendly relationship and that was why he was so informal with me right now because we were alone in the corridor right now. “Of course I am sure. Alpha Hunter announced this in front of the whole pack yesterday and for your kind information, I am the one who trained her in her initial stage of training”, he told me everything and bragged about his being her trainer too.

I didn’t react after listening to him as I was dumbfounded by this revelation. How it could be possible? She was the best warrior in our pack. How did it happen? “What happened? Are you alright?” Daniel asked me with concern. “Uhhh… nothing.. I am alright. I have to go now”, I said to him, and then without listening to his response, I stormed out of that corridor. I heard him yelling my name but I didn’t stop. It couldn’t be true. She couldn’t be a warrior. Now I remembered someone talking about an omega she-wolf warrior who had won the best warrior award this year. I didn’t try to learn more about that because I was not interested in knowing about the status of a she-wolf. I had enough on my plate already.

“Dad… where are you?” I mind-linked my dad as he was in close proximity to me now. “Hey, son.. how are you?” my dad asked me in a cheerful tone and a small smile crept on my lips. I was so happy to hear my father’s voice after so many years through mind-linked. “I am fine, dad.. I want to meet you”, I replied to him in a calm tone this time. “Uhhh… I am with other alphas in a meeting with the king right now. Let’s meet at dinner, son”, he told me about his whereabouts and I sighed aloud. “Okay, dad… I will wait to meet you in the dining room then”, I had no choice but to wait for him now.

“Okay, son, and please give me a favor”, he suddenly requested me something that took me by surprise. “Please tell Daniel that Rhea is on a run now in the forest at the west side of the palace. He knows what he has to do”, he asked me, and his words that Daniel knows made me raise my brows in suspicion. What did I miss in the past four years? “Okay, dad … I will tell him”, I replied to my father and then cut off my mind-link with him.

I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. There were so many questions in my mind which were blasting my mind but I didn’t know whom to ask them. I mind-linked Daniel using the pack link between us. “Daniel… dad said that Rhea is on a run in the forest at the west side”, I told him what my dad asked. “What? Is she insane?” he yelled in a panicked tone and before I could ask anything, he immediately cut off the mind link leaving me more agitated than I was already. She was on run and it was normal for us. Then why both my dad and Daniel were concerned about this? What did I miss and how has she become the best warrior from our pack? Our pack was the fourth strongest pack in the whole werewolf world. We had a lineage of warriors within our pack which made us stronger than other packs. Then how an omega, a weak she-wolf became the best warrior?
