Knot So Perfect Omega (Omega Match #1)(65)

“He messed with my pills.” Kayla was vibrating with rage but hadn’t moved since I told her that was enough. “It makes so much sense now!”

“Gnomes! You have five minutes to get yourselves into your position on the sideline!” our publicist yelled down the corridor. “Do I need to send security?”

“Yes!” Beck yelled back to her.

“Thank God. It’s about damn time you realized she’s playing you.” Brian used the wall for support as he got to his feet.

Was he fucking serious? I let Rio go, and it was my turn to shove him into the wall. “What game are you playing? You fucked with our omega’s pills?”

“What? What are you talking about?” he spluttered as I pressed my forearm against his chest. He didn’t try to fight me because he wouldn’t have been able to get past four alphas and a rabid omega.

“Her pills. They were swapped with blanks.” His eyes widened at this revelation, but I couldn’t tell if it was from shock that her pills were swapped or because he’d done it and been busted. “So, when did you do it? Hm? We changed our security code as soon as we got home. Does that mean you broke into our house?”

“Why would I mess with her pills? Her heat doesn’t benefit me.” He sneered and narrowed his eyes on who I could only guess was Kayla standing behind me. “That little cunt never wanted to be here.”

“Where do you want us to take her until the police get here?” The two security guards plus a third came down the corridor we were in.

“Not her. Him.” Beck pulled Kayla against him protectively.

“On what grounds?” Brian was practically foaming at the mouth now and started trying to get out from under my arm. I put on more pressure.

“Tampering with an omega’s heat suppressants.” Beck kissed Kayla’s temple. “We have a new coach now.”

“You can’t be serious.” The security guards went on either side of Brian and I let him go. “You have no proof!”

“I’m sure as soon as we check the security footage in the corridor and get the video and sound evidence of what you said to whoever you were talking to, we’ll have all the proof we need.” Rio picked up Brian’s phone. “I’ll be holding on to this.”

Security led him away from us, and I tuned out the bullshit he was spewing about putting us on the map and Kayla being manipulative.

Kayla pulled away from Beck and stood in front of us. “You are all fools! You gave him your phones? Did you really think someone was calling about your car warranty?”

My cheeks heated, and I honestly didn’t have an answer to that. I was always getting spam calls, so it didn’t surprise me in the least when he’d said it.

“You really think he’s the one that swapped your pills?” Beck asked, stepping forward, but she stepped back. “Kayla, don’t shut us out.”

“I’m not shutting you out.” She crossed her arms. “You have a game to play, and if you touch me then you aren’t going to be able to focus. And I don’t know he did it for sure… but he got my bag while I was exploring the house when I first got there. I didn’t think anything of it until earlier.”

“And what about OPS?” I checked the time on my phone. “Shit, we need to get out there before they start the National Anthem.”

Things with Brian were far from over, but for now, we had our omega safe with us and we had a game to play.





CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX





Kayla





When Beck said they had a new coach and kissed my temple, I’d only been partially paying attention because I was focused on Brian and suppressing my urge to kill him.

I’d followed Brian down the hall and around the corner when I heard him say to whoever he was on the phone with to double the bet. I didn’t know much about the sports world, but what I did know was that anyone in United Alpha Sports whether it be players, coaches, or other support staff wasn’t supposed to be betting on games.

Things were starting to come together now that I’d heard that little tidbit of information right from his sleazy mouth. He’d switched my pills so I’d go into heat and make the pack more aggressive. That was some hopefulness on his part that it would happen by the championship.

But then again, I’m sure there was more to it than that. I wondered if they would let me torture the information out of him. I could see him now; venomous scorpions latched onto his nipples, knife precariously close to cutting off his dick.

I probably need to cut back on reading dark mafia romances.

My heart was in my throat as I stood on the sidelines of the Alphaball field. It was much more intense being up close to a game and hearing the noises and facial expressions the teams made. Whoever had decided that throwing weighted balls at opponents as a form of defense was sick.

N’Pact was at my back, acting as my bodyguards in a way. After they rocked the house singing the National Anthem, they had a brief conversation I wasn’t able to hear, but they’d come over to surround me.

They felt more like brothers if anything, and just like when I’d gotten a ride from them, I felt comfortable being around them despite none of us being claimed.

The Killer Gnomes were on the third round of their game against the Raging Skeletons, and it had been close the whole time. Both teams had easily beaten their opponents in their first games, the wins only seeming to make them even more aggressive.
