Liv's POV...
"Liv I have some important affairs to attend to in the pack house. I'll see you later" Frank called, his voice resounded in my ears and I whipped my head to look at him wiping off his hands with a tissue.
He stood up from the dinning table, pushing his chair behind then he smiled at me.
An instant reminder jolted into my head. I reminisced I had a lot of questions I needed answers to and only Frank could give me those answers. I stood up immediately, following tz
"Frank there's something I need to speak with you about" I spoke up in a rush, tossing my meal aside and I halted up to my feet.
"Not now Liv, I don't have much time to spare. Once I'm done with running the affairs of the pack house, you won't look for me and I'll come to you" Frank replied.
"But my question is also important and urgent, I wouldn't stop you if it wasn't" I explianed, hoping my words could change his mind.
I desperately needed answers and I couldn't wait for him for some hours. I would die of curiosity.
"Please try to understand. We shouldn't banter words at each other because half of my time is already gone. Make sure you finish up your meal, there shouldn't be any left overs and I'll see you soon" Frank pronounced, patting my right cheek and he walked away with quickened steps.
I sighed in outmost frustration, breathing in deeply to calm my nerves and control my emotions then I rushed behind him, making sure to reach him before he gets out of sight.
"Stop right there!" I forced out with all my might, my voice coming off in an authoritative tone.
I bit my tongue, my face twisting into a dawn of realisation. What had I done?
Frank swiveled his head towards my direction and I gulped with fear.
I was surely not going to escape being punished for raising my voice onto the future alpha.
I fiddled with my hands, nervousness creeping up my face and holding tightly onto the hem of my dress as I stepped closer to him with slow steps.
"That was awesome" Frank praised and I raised my eyebrow at him.
I was confused at his words. I watched his lips curl up in a smirk and a glint of humor in his eyes.
He thrusted his right hand into his pocket, leaning his back on the wall in the hallway.
"Why did you say that?" I asked, my gaze fixated on him.
"Nothing, it just feels good to know you can also exude power since most of the time you are always scared"
"You're teasing me Frank" I reprimanded him and he cupped my cheek with his hands. I stepped back in surprise with my lips slightly parted.
"You ordered for me to stop and here I am Liv. It seems you won't take no for an answer so you have to be fast with what you want to tell me" Frank uttered
"Oh yeah," It dawned on me. I was the one who stopped him due to the thousand questions I had for him
"Go on Liv, I'm all ears" Frank encouraged, his voice jolting me out of my thoughts.
"Why was I being asked so many questions by your family? It felt off Frank, too strange and I'm sure you felt the tension too".
Frank came closer to me tucking my hair behind my ear. There was a jolt of energy I felt from his skin rubbed against mine. I couldn't understand why I felt that way. I had only ever felt that way with the triplets.
"Wave it off Liv. There's nothing to worry about" he voiced out.
His closeness was getting to me and it blocked my reasoning. I could feel my heart pounding inside of my chest and my skin getting hotter.
I placed my hands on his chest, gently pushing him backward. I took a few steps back, giving us distance.
"You never answer any of my questions Frank, why?" I questioned him with a stern gaze.
"I don't give answers to questions that have no answers Liv"
"You have an answer and choose to keep it away from me. I saw the way you looked at me at the table. Like you expected something more from me"
He sighed in frustration "Something like what Liv?"
"Answers. The same thing everybody at the table wanted. How was I supposed to know what new rules have been implemented at the pack"
"It's simple. You stay at a place. Of course, you should know one or two things about it"
"I don't like this Frank. What are hiding from me?" I demanded sternly
Unexpectedly, Frank pulled my hand and tugged me towards him as I let out a little gasp. He clamped his hand on my mouth and placed a finger on his lips.
His arms snarked around my waist and I gulped hard at the closeness of our bodies brushing against each other.
"Frank" I panicked out in a soft voice, my heart thumping hard in my chest
He did the least I expected, leaning closer and kissing me right on my forehead.
"Don't worry your little head over this Liv. You are getting stressed out and I don't like it"
"But.."
"I'll see you once I'm done with my work" he voiced out, patting my shoulders as he turned his back against me.
I placed my shaky hand on the spot he kissed me as I wiped it off and looked at my palm with my heart thumping in my chest.
The thoughts of how Frank kept treating me with so much gentleness, love, and affection clouded my thoughts.
I knew deep down If he continued this way, I wouldn't be able to control myself around him and I might let myself fall deeply in love with him.
But what confused me the most was, I felt the same way when Ryder crashed his warm lips against mine and how Callum occasionally looked at me as though I was the only woman he had ever desired and Max who held me so affectionately.
Over to Frank, I was left wondering how I could feel this way. Especially towards a man who wasn't my mate?
I had so many questions filled up in my head but the answers were never available.
Frank stopped in his tracks and spun around to look at me
"And while I'm off, take care of yourself Liv" he voiced out with a smile at the corner of his lips. I could hear the concern laced through his voice.
"One more thing Frank" I called out the moment something brushed through my mind. It was a question I had always wanted to ask him.
"Am I really an omega?" I blurted out immediately
Frank has made me develop doubt the day in the school woods when he told me my wolf didn't look like an Omega's wolf.
Frank snickered, walking back towards me "What do you think?" he asked tilting his head as he folded his arm, staring at me intensely. There was this look in his eyes that made me drop my gaze because I couldn't stand the intensity.
"You raised a lot of doubts in my mind when you questioned my wolf the other day. It was hard to get myself to sleep that night"
I continued "And how were you able to sit so close to me in class without feeling any bit of disgust whatsoever?"
Frank straightened up the sleeves of his shirt as he kept mute whilst slowly drinking up my body, and then he gazed back into my eyes.
"There is something you don't know about yourself" he let out and I sighed in frustration.
"You aren't getting it, Frank. I'm aware, I own my body but I don't know myself that much that's why I need answers to my questions" I lashed out at him and when I realised myself I breathed in deeply, trying to calm my nerves down.
"Please Frank" I pleaded desperately
"Rather than telling you. Why don't you I show you instead"
"I thought you had other important matters to deal with?" I asked.
"That can wait. It's not like you care about that, do you?"
"I mean__I"
"You would have let me leave the moment I said that to you" he puffed out air from his lips. "Anyways, since you are so desperate for answers, I can give you one. Follow me" he said walking in front of me before I could object.
I followed him trying to meet up to his fast pace. I didn't care where he was taking me. As long as he was going to give me answers.
"And put your hair in a bun Liv" he spoke, his tone firmer than it had been before"
"Why do I have to do that?" I questioned and Frank scoffed at my words.
"You want answers, don't you Liv?"
"But I don't see__"
He groaned in exasperation. "Just do as I say for once Liv" Frank stated. I packed up my hair in a ponytail tail and wrapped it into a bun.
He walked until he got to a hall. While I stayed trying to admire how big it was, I jolted as he suddenly shut the huge door.
With determination, He stepped closer, unexpectedly slipping his hand around my waist, and pulling me gently against him.
My lips parted into a gasp when he did that. The feel of his touch sent an electric wave down my body.
I thought he was going to do something arousing to me, but the least I expected was for him to lift me up and place my back on the wall, twisting my arms behind my back and pressing hard on my wrists
I squealed in pain.
"Fight me" He whispered in my ears.
"What the fuck are you doing Frank!"
"You heard me"
"You've held my hand firmly behind me and you're telling me to fight you. You know how arms work, don't you?" I shot at him, struggling to free myself from his clutches.
"If you're so desperate to know if you're an omega or not you'd take this on and you'd fight me".
"Fight him Liv" my wolf urged. At that point, I almost went crazy. Did she expect me to fight someone who had Alpha's blood flowing through his veins?
"Frank unhand me now!" I screamed at him, but that only made him press harder on my wrists, putting more pressure and causing an intense pain to ignite inside of me.
"Stop the play, Frank! I don't want to know anymore, I give up" I said.
"If you wanted to find out in the first place, you are going to find out" Frank gritted out
"Fight him Liv, and don't forget he's giving you the permission so what's there to worry about?" my wolf insisted.
I couldn't do it!
I was helpless, an omega. He was going to snap my head into two if I lifted a finger to challenge him.
"Amazing Liv, that was a good one" he praised even when the only thing I did was struggle harder. "Channel that stubbornness and fucking fight me Liv"
"What was that supposed to mean? Is there any benefit I'm supposed to get from this?" I fired at him.
"At least you get an answer" I couldn't see him, but I felt him shrug. To show he wasn't even putting any effort into pinning me down, but it felt like a giant had me helpless.
"All my life I have always been helpless so what difference does it make when I have never been able to fight for myself!"
"Fucking try it and stop whining!" he thundered in arrogance.
That only added to my rage. I bent my other free arm, hitting him in his stomach with all my might. He groaned, pulling away immediately.
I turned to him, watching him crouch and anger still brewing inside of me. Then I realized I had hit him. He was the Alpha's son and I just hit him!
"Frank" I tried to rush towards him, but he held out his hand, stopping me.
He looked up at me still holding his abdomen. "You have your answer Liv" he spoke, his voice a bit shaky and his eyes filled with suppressed agony.
It made me wonder if my aggression made him like that or something else
"No Frank, but that doesn't answer my questions"
He shook his head at me "Do you think an omega can bring down an alpha?"
"No of course not".
"Look at me Liv" Frank let out still crouched in that position. I knew I had hurt him badly for him to still be like that.
I gasped as it all came to me "But_ but is that even possible?" I asked in puzzlement.
"you have your answers Liv" He repeated as be stood upright, walking towards the door
"How on earth Frank? You just made things worse for me. Now I don't know if I'm an omega or anything but I know I'm not an alpha, the blood doesn't run through my veins" I fired back. I felt every bit of pain within me as my senses awakened.
"To be honest, I don't know for sure, but with that strength, you definitely can't be an omega" Frank muttered as he kept on walking.
"You have to know something for sure Frank" I called out in desperation.
"You can question your instincts and who knows? it might serve you the answers to your questions on a platter of gold" Frank suggested.
Everything that transpired irritated me so much and I knew there was something Frank was aware of but he was purposely keeping it away from me.
"Why are you trying to help me and make me feel special when you're keeping so much information from me?" I queried. He stopped at a halt and turned his body, walking towards me.
Frank put his finger under my chin and cupped my face "Don't worry about this Liv. when the time comes you will know everything without having to lift up a finger"
