Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Ch 39: Danger!!!
Emily’s smile faded away slowly, and she looked slightly angry at being asked this question.

She respected Miss Goodwill as an alpha and as a business partner. But she held little respect for her as a mother.

As the question hung in the air, Emily felt her respect for Miss Goodwill, already on a fragile thread, begin to unravel. Like a knife, the sharpness of the question severed the last of it, leaving Emily with a bitter mix of disappointment and anger.

“Don’t take it the wrong way, Emily. It’s just that…my youngest likes you and Damian. And no matter how much you like Damian, you need an omega in your relationship.”

“Isn’t Suzie perfect for you both? She is sweet, caring, and lovely. Most importantly, she is part of Rika’s family. You will still be close to Rika, but this way, you will be family with her. What do you say?”

The older alpha pushed Emily, which was her final straw.

“We should focus on finding Rika. Frankly, neither Damian nor I have any interest in your spoilt brat. We would have preferred it if she had not come near us. It would be appreciated if you keep her away from us.”

“Besides, Damian is in a terrible mood these days. I am sure that he is approaching his rut. He might kill Suzie if she comes anywhere near us right now. So, keep her in check.”

That warning was as strong as Emily’s willingness to give Alpha Goodwill. It was her fault if the older alpha ignored Rika’s warning.

Emily had fulfilled her duty of warning the older female.

“Oh well! Would you look at the time? I should get going now. It was nice to meet you, Alpha Goodwill. But I hope we do not have a reason to see each other again.”

Emily quickly left that office before she could erupt and cause any more harm to her professional relationship with Alpha Goodwill.

She wanted to keep this relationship as long as Rika was part of the family. Once she was not, Emily no longer needed this family to exist.

“If Rika is not here, then this place is worthless. I will let Dami do what he wants with this place. I am sure he will have a lot of fun.”

Emily was sure that Alpha Goodwill had not given up. She would come after Emily to try to save Rika.

But Emily and Damian would ensure it was too late by the time she arrived.

Rika did not need to feel indebted to her neglectful family; Emily’s job was to prevent that.

“Looks like someone is in a mood to kill. Don’t worry, Dami. You can go all out today. There is no need to hold back for either of us.”

Emily assured, and she watched as her boyfriend’s face broke into a slight smirk filled with bloodlust.

Damian Rodric would let himself go this time, and it would be well worth seeing.

Many people had gathered for this raid, and it did not take long before they marched up to the mansion where Rika was likely being held.

“Hey, who are you? Please let us know your purpose, or we will fire at you. Don’t take us lightly or else-”

Damian reached out his arm from that rolled-down window and grabbed that guard’s face. Then, he smashed it into the side of the car, which made a loud noise.

Unhappy pheromones filled the air, causing everyone to stand on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what would happen next.

“I have a question to ask you all. Was a black-haired beta brought in here by someone recently? You better answer me quickly because I am not a patient person.”

Emily asked with a strained smile. She was trying to prevent herself from attacking these people.

“Ha! As if we will tell our enemy anything! Don’t you dare underestimate us and-”

The pressure of pheromones forcing the guards down doubled. Emily had joined her boyfriend in letting out a pissed scent.

“Tsk, I gave these low-lives a chance to save themselves, but they did not take it. There is no longer any point in keeping them all alive.”

Breathing was difficult for these people caught under Emily’s pheromones. She could tell that they were struggling.

Emily had no sympathy for these people. As soon as she finished them, she let them all collapse at her feet.

“Tsk, all of them are fools. Dami, did you kill them with your pheromones? You need to save some for me as well.”

Emily complained, but her partner did not seem to hear her.

Damian pressed hard on the gas pedal and zoomed through the gate. It took them a few minutes to get to the main mansion, and their appearance caused a huge commotion.

“What do you think you’re doing here? I was unaware we had appointments with Young Lady Steinz and Young Master Rodric. How many can I help you with?”

The butler asked, and Emily smiled her bloody smile at him.

“Well, how about we start by dragging out your useless master who dared to buy something of ours? We have been far too lenient if he thinks he can get away with buying our precious thing.

Emily could tell that the butler was confused, but Damian did not care about anything or anyone.

He forced his way through these people and toward the private section.

“Young master, please wait! Master Darling is in session with someone already. It is rude to interrupt him right now and-”

Emily followed Damian and felt her blood boil at the scene she saw.

A golden-haired omega loomed over Rika as he grabbed her arm and held her immobile. His mouth was buried in Rika’s neck, and the poor female seemed to be struggling.

It was a very suggestive scene that made Emily want to tear that omega apart.

And if she felt such rage, Damian decided to act on his.

One second, that omega was on Rika; the next, Damian held him by the neck.
