Dangerous Illusion

Chapter Twenty-One

Harry bit back his own growl and cast his green gaze to the entryway. For a spilt second the Omega had mistaken Leo's growl as Draco's, and it made hope slither into his chest. The rude Alpha's laughter made it vanish instantly, Harry was really staring to lose his patience with the prat. The Omega met Leo's amber gaze with a glare that could cut ice and let a soft snarl pass his lips. Leo raised a golden eyebrow and a scowl turned the corner of his full lips down slightly. Oh, how Harry would love to deck the Lycanthrope in the face, the Omega's fingers twitched, and he had to ball them up instead of throwing the punch.

"He's my Alpha," Harry's tone was curt with annoyance and he saw Leo's eyes darken to almost orange. It caused the Omega to shiver again slightly but nonetheless he held his ground. "Why can't I smell like him?" Harry asked keeping his gaze on Leo. One thing Draco had told him a week ago was that eye contact with a Lycanthrope showed them you weren't threatened by them. Harry would be damned if he was going to let that hound-dog of a wolf think he scared the Omega in the slightest. Leo moved to slowly walk to the same side of the table that Harry was seated at. His orange-yellow gaze was sharp and calculating; it caused Harry to suppress another shiver. The Omega opened his mouth to speak but the Alpha's fist slammed down onto the table inches away from his own hand before he could. The wood table seemed to splinter slightly, and it caused Harry to yelp in surprise before casting his green gaze up to Leo. The Lycanthrope's eyes darkened another shade and this time Harry stood up. "What the fuck is wrong with you!" The Omega's question came out as a shout as Harry balled his fists up tightly. Leo growled and shifted his gaze towards the entrance way and Harry couldn't help but to hope that Draco would show up soon. He'd love to have his Alpha's help in the fight that was sure to come. If Harry had his wand, he was sure he could take the Lycanthrope in a magic duel, but a physical fight was a different story. Harry steadied his voice before continuing his insults at the Prince. "For a guest in this Kingdom you've got no right to talk about my Prince of an Alpha!" That was the last straw for Leo and Harry found himself pinned into a wall seconds after he got done shouting. Harry heard the loud thud of his chair hitting the wood floor and only caused the fear in his scent to spike. Leo's grip tightened around the Omega's neck as he lifted Harry up with one hand. Harry gagged as he tried to place his feet back firmly on the ground but only his toes touched the hardwood floor.

"You aren't even a part of anyone's Kingdom yet, so don't get cocky Omega." Leo spat his baritone voice so dark with venom that even his eyes dropped another half shade closer to black. Harry gagged again and felt his head throb as tried to growl out loud, but nothing slipped past his lips besides spittle. "And must you refer to that prat of a dog your Alpha." The golden-haired Alpha followed his words by a deep growl and lifted Harry's head as if to slam it back into the wall but hesitated. Harry took the opportunity let out two pleading chirps when Leo's grip on his neck slackened slightly. Leo's anger came back full force at the sound and the Omega was surprised he didn't snap his neck when he retightened his grip. "You're lucky Soliel still has plans for you or I'd end you here and now." Leo mumbled sourly before letting go of Harry completely. The Omega fell to the ground as he gasped for air. Harry wondered how he'd explain the handprint on his throat to Draco. There'd be no ignoring it or- "Don't worry your skin is clear. So, let's keep this little argument between us." Leo had returned to his seat as Harry began to slowly rub soothing circles into his skin in hopes to get rid of the painful throb that lingered. It might be best to wait to tell Draco until Leo left. Harry had no idea what penalty the Alpha would face or what would happen to his own Alpha if he attacked Leo. Harry decided he'd wait to tell Draco about it until after they left, plus he still had to tell his Alpha about Isabel and Vincent's interaction. Harry used the sleeve of his jumper to wipe away at the drool on his chin before moving to stand slowly. His legs wobbled slightly, and Harry could have sworn he felt his skull get spilt open when he took his first few steps towards his knocked over chair. The Omega took a slight breather before bending over to lift his chair up. It took two tries and break in between but Harry finally sat down no thanks to Lycanthrope Prince who knocked over the chair to begin with. Harry moved his green gaze up to meet Leo's now perfectly serene amber eyes. At least that prat of a man had calmed down; Harry couldn't help but wonder what the Solar god could have planned for him. If he was Draco's fated then wasn't technically a charge of Lune not Soleil. The Omega was knocked out his thoughts when the familiar scent of woodsy mint wafted into the dinning hall. Harry's green gaze found Draco's grey one instantly and he calmed down, it was refreshing to see him after being separated for almost six hours. He hadn't even realized how much he'd missed his boyfriend until the Omega saw a soft smile lift up the silvery-blond Alpha's lips.
