As Caleb stepped into the house he could feel the tension in the air two men were standing out side of his fathers study, unhappy looks on their faces as they turned towards Caleb. Walking down the hall he saw the questioning look in their eyes as they stood aside letting him pass. Pausing with his hand on the doorknob Caleb took a deep breath then opened the door and walking in. Closing the door behind him Caleb looked around the room, scattered along the walls were the five village elders and sitting behind his desk as always was his father. Laying in a heap in the middle of the room on a rug was the omega and on each side was a man. His father had his jaw clenched as his eyes locked onto Caleb his unhappiness very clear. Caleb felt a pit in his stomach as he walked towards the center of the room stopping between the omega and his father.<br/><br/>"So please tell me, why there is an omega bleeding on my floor?"The Alphas voice was soft but there was an undertone of anger as he spoke to Caleb. Taking a deep breath Caleb looked his father in the eyes.<br/><br/>"This Omega assaulted a Beta and when I intervened he attacked me. So I taught him a lesson in respecting his betters. Due to the extent of the damage both physical and mental I thought it best to bring him before you to determine when his execution would be held." Caleb's eyes darkened and his tone got sharper  at the last few words as his control on his anger slipped. Caleb watched as his father narrowed his eyes  as he stood up leaning over his desk.<br/><br/>"And who says we are executing him? You are not the Alpha yet Caleb, I decide how and when someone is punished. Who is the Beta I want to talk to her." His voice was strong and sharp  as he sat back down it was not a request but a demand.<br/><br/>"It was Maria. She is in her house recovering I don't expect her to be up to being around anyone until tomorrow." Caleb's hackles rose as he spoke his brain pounding as if trying to break his skull. Barely managing to keep himself composed Caleb kept eye contact with his father knowing how important it was to remain strong at this point. Weakness now would only hurt him.<br/><br/>"Then I guess we wait until tomorrow. Take the Omega and lock him up somewhere keep a guard posted no one." The Alpha narrowed his eyes at Caleb as he spoke. "And I mean no one is to make any contact with him except under my orders. You are all dismissed. Someone get me Maria's father." The men started to pick up the Omega and walk off with him as Caleb spoke again.<br/><br/>"Wait. I think he should be tested for rabies." Everyone in the room froze as Caleb spoke the thought of rabies spreading through the community made them shudder. For just the tiniest fraction of a second Caleb saw genuine fear on his fathers face quickly replaced by his usual calm exterior.<br/><br/>"Rabies?! Caleb do you know what you are suggesting?" Caleb nodded his head at his fathers words.<br/><br/>"Yes I am suggesting we make sure his behavior is just that. His behavior." Caleb knew that if the Omega had rabies the whole village would be quarantined and it would be at least a month before everything and everyone was checked. But if he didn't have rabies is actions would condemn him. The Alpha grimaced as he sat back in his chair.<br/><br/>"Fine, have the doctor check him. But keep him restrained if this is rabies I want there to be as little contact with the village as possible." The two guards were now holding him gingerly as if at any second he would bite them, and for all they knew he would. Caleb followed them out of the door and then out of the house watching as they dragged him towards the doctors house making sure to keep people at a safe distance. Caleb could still feel his anger welling under the surface his intense desire to kill the Omega barely held at bay. Caleb needed to keep his cool he had just started a very dangerous game one that he would see to the end. Walking around to the back of the house Caleb sat against the wall where he had been talking to Lola. Taking a deep breath he could smell her easily the hackles raising on the back of his neck. Besides her usual smell there was anger, a lot of anger as it led off into the woods.<br/><br/>"Now what could she be up to?" Caleb mused to himself a slight smile touching his lips. He would have to watch out for her she was much more dangerous than he gave her credit for. Standing back up Caleb trekked silently off into the woods following Lola's scent, if his plans were going to work he would have to keep tabs on her.
