Chapter 7

"Ah! Cute!" Suni said, smiling widely whilst playing with the pups making Valente pout. He was right beside her but all her attention was on the pups in front of her.

The lady from before called out to them, "I am sorry but my boss is denying it."

That instantly made Suni pout, sadly. Valente frowned seeing her sad expression and looked back at the lady. "Why?" He growled angrily, making Suni's eyes widen and tug slightly on his hand. She didn't want to make him angry.

"I am sorry but-" The woman was cut off by a beautiful Alpha lady in jeans and top.

"Who are you guys? Haven't seen you around." The lady who seemed to be the boss asked, raising her eyebrows.

"We are travelers from the Emerald wolf pack." He said, wearing a frown.

"And that is why I don't trust you with the pups here. You must've gotten your answer, now shoo!" She said, pulling a face.

"E-Excuse me," Suni's started before Valente could growl some curse words at her. "I p-promise we w-won't cause a-any harm to the p-pups." She stuttered.

"God look at you stutter, omega! How can you protect the pups if you can't even protect yourself!" The lady Alpha spat rudely.

The words hit deep. The lady was right. She couldn't even protect herself. She thought she was useless.

Valente growled at the lady, "Shut your fucking mouth up!"

"I will do if you get out of here." The lady sassed, angrily.

"FINE! WE'RE LEAVING!" He snarled and held her hand tightly, walking elsewhere.

"I am s-sorry," Suni said in a low voice. She was feeling very bad. None of the drama would've happened, Valente wouldn't be angry.

"It's not your fault, dumbass." He said, softening his voice a little. "Now tell me, where'd you wanna work?"

"A-Anywhere is fine." Suni pursed her lips.

"How about an eating place?" He asked.

Suni nodded.

"Let's go then."

They both walked to a restaurant, this time finally getting work. Suni washed the dishes, while Valente served people the ordered food.

Suni's hands shivered from the cold water. She pouted. She couldn't even do this now. She was angry with herself. Why did she have to be an omega?

Valente noticed her slightly angry expression as he walked in through the ledged door. He figured out it was because of the lady or something.

He set the plate, that he was holding, on the table and rushed to her who was in the back.

Suni was about to turn round because she smelt Valente's caramel scent but he was quick to back hug her. She felt warmth surround her body and smiled cutely.

"Are you cold?" He said, tracing his hands through her sensitive arms while lighting and heating his hands with magic.

Suni looked in amazement, seeing his palms light red. She snuggled back, unknowingly as his hands touched her hands, cupping them together, heating them. Her white ears drooped down as she relaxed.

"Valente an order came! Where are you?" The owner asked.

"Aw! Gotta go! I will heat you up later." He smirked and went off to serve.

Suni's flustered face went up and down once, nodding and she continued her work, shivering sometimes in between.

Valente and Suni were finally done with all their work. They ended up working four hours and now it was almost midnight. The owner was nice enough to give free food to them since they helped so much and of course the amount of payment they agreed on. Now, they were looking for a place to sleep.

Valente yawned before grunting out, "God Damn it! Where is the sleeping place!?"

Suni's ear twitched as he heard someone in a far-off direction asking for a room.

"I got it." She said, causing Valente to look at her with wide eyes.

"Fucking finally! Where is it!?" He asked.

Suni gave the directions to the lazy and desperate boy.

"There's only one room and one bed." The receptionist said, indifferent, assuming they were both couples. Yes. He said the iconic line.

"Doesn't matter! I just wanna sleep after a warm bath." He yawned, cutely.

"Here is the key." The receptionist handed them the key and showed them directions to the room before leaving them alone.

Suni watched as Valente fumbled with the key and opened the door immediately going on plopping down on the SINGLE bed.

"Wait? It's just a single bed." She said looking around the pretty decent room.

Valente hummed. "I will squeeze you to death by hugging you." He said, making Suni blush.

"I-I am going to take a bath." She mumbled and picked up a towel and her bag going for the washroom when Valente interrupted her.

"Ah! Do you want me to come with you, sweetheart?" He smirked, teasing her.

Suni blushed and sprinted to the washroom, slamming the door shut, hearing Valente laughing heartily.

Left alone with her thoughts, Suni was happy and sad. She was happy that she had come this far, escaping and befriending Valente. She was grateful for it because he had saved her. But, she also felt sad, and useless. She felt that she was just not worth anything. The black-haired girl was weak and she hated it and wanted to do something about it.

When the blackhead was done, she wore white harem pants with a black top and a long and warm grey shrug. Getting out of the washroom, she saw Valente sprawled out on the bed as he snored softly, looking oh so peaceful and cute. That instantly bought a smile to her face.

Suni ran to him and poked his cheeks repeatedly causing him to whine like a lazy-ass baby. She giggled and abused his cheeks more, her finger digging in. She pulled his cheeks, softly.

He again whined and fluttered his eyes open. His eyes immediately widened, seeing her so close to his face. His face heated up as she giggled.

"You were sleeping like a baby." She tittered.

"So what!? I BET YOU SLEEP LIKE A FUCKING NEWBORN, YOU DUMBASS!" He blurted out, abruptly standing and stomping his feet to the washroom, slamming the door shut, only to open it again and come out glaring at her, and stomping his feet to get the towel. He huffed out, embarrassed, and again took heavy footsteps to the washroom.

Suni didn't understand anything and just laid down on the bed. She was feeling exhausted but couldn't sleep.

Soon after, Valente came wearing nothing but his pants. Suni's eyes stared at him, her mouth agape. Drops of water trickled down his wet hair. His abs and v-line were in view as he walked lazily to the bed and plopped down beside Suni.

"I am sexy, aren't I?" He spoke, his voice muffled by the pillow.

"Yes…" Suni trailed off. Her eyes suddenly widened realizing what she had said, "I mean - i-it's not t-that ah no-no- yes—"

Valente burst out laughing, looking at Suni who was flushed red.

She hid her face in the blanket while Valente chuckled.

"Y-You said you'll warm me up." She muttered, her ears peeking out of the blanket she hid in.

"And how would you like that, dumbass?" Valente smirked, going under the blanket to see her after blowing out the candles beside the bed that lit up the room.

Suni didn't speak for two good seconds before saying, "I don't know."

It was so dark that they couldn't even figure out their faces when Valente slowly traced his hand around her waist, making her breath hitch as he pulled her close. "Want me to hug you? Don't you?" He giggled.

"Y-yes." She replied.

"Yes, what?" He asked, lifting her up chin so she could look into his eyes, sparkling in the moonlight that came in through the window.

"…yes please?" She said, unsure.

Valente laughed at the innocent girl and hugged her tightly, squeezing her and tangling their legs together as her cheek squished against his chest.

Suni could hear Valente's heartbeat. She liked it. She pressed her ear on his chest while he snored softly almost inaudible. She slept a sweet night, listening to his heartbeat.
