Posing for the Omega (For the Alpha #2)(10)
Zora barked a sharp note cutting off all of the packs talk quick and effectively. “I am unsure what happened today, but I—”
“It was Ira.” A familiar she wolf spoke up cutting off our alpha. I looked up in surprise as the she wolf who had spoken cut through the crowd to get to the front. Dey? I watched as she walked up in her wolf form to the front of the pack many casting her curious glances.
“Obviously.” Naga sneered. “It all ended when Alpha and him tied in front of all of us.” The blonde she wolf shivered dramatically as if the very thought made her want to vomit. Oh, my feelings were sooo hurt - not.
“Oh, well yes, but it is something I saw my brother Vey do.” Dey stopped just outside of the gathered wolves between me and my alpha.
Koda snorted from a few feet away. “Are you saying my mutant brother can use his pheromones to make the males wolves in the pack crazy?”
Dey’s ears lay flat on her skull as she slowly shook her head. “Well I’m not sure exactly but that is mostly just a side effect. It’s true purpose is to bring his alpha back when he’s feeling extremely stressed, it’s nothing to fear. It only happened twice with my brother.” The other she wolf reassured.
She was protecting me, I realized. All that time ago she’d abandon her sibling when he needed her, and now she was protecting me against the pack, keeping secrets from the alpha for me. Deep down I knew she was telling the truth about Vey. I was stressed, and I did need my alpha’s strength even if it was only mentally. I wanted to protect him and hide behind him at the same time. I was terrified he’d go into the woods and never return, that I would be able to protect him and the others, that he wouldn’t be able to protect us. That I’d end up like Vey.
Zora rumbled beside me looking up at me with his consistent black eyes. “Do not worry, I am here.” He said lowly before looking at Dey and the others. “I accept your explanation Dey and the pack will as well. One of your elders has provided you with an explanation.” Zora called out so everyone could hear him. “I trust my omega implicitly, and I expect the pack to do so as well.”
I tensed. He trusts me implicitly? A bad taste filled my mouth as I thought about all the secrets I was keeping in that could be the death of this pack. I needed to tell him, I needed to let go of my childish inhibitions and trust my life mate with everything I knew, but I was afraid. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out as I stared up at him. Something sent a tingle down my spine and my eyes wandered towards the nearest cluster of trees just beyond the dens. It was shaded even in the middle of the day, but that familiar sticky sensation of being watched stuck to my fur like tar.
I didn’t say anything.
“So beautiful…” That deep terrifying voice taunted me. A hard powerful hand held me down by my throat. I couldn’t move, couldn’t struggle against the powerful hold my body completely paralyzed against him. Why couldn’t I move? What was wrong with my body? I whined as I stared up into gorey blood red eyes.
“What do you want from me?” I was nothing, so why would this monster want me so desperately?
A dark chuckle rumbled out of the massive beast as he leaned close to my face, his breath reeking of stale blood and rotten flesh. “You,” he took a deep breath as he inhaled my scent, “are so much more, omega.”
Groaning I turned my head away, his words confusing me even more. “No, I belong to my alpha.” I was Zora’s, that was what made me special. I would never let this monster take what I gave my alpha. I’d die first.
“Your alpha? What alpha? Open your eyes omega.” Lathos chuckled darkly.
I did. My eyes peeled open against my will and across the hard ground I could see him, Zora’s lifeless black eyes staring back at me. I screamed as Lathos continued his horrible laughter.
I woke from the dream gasping for breath as my alpha slept deeply beside me. My hand reached out instinctively to touch his smooth warm skin to feel his life radiate through my hand. Sighing I felt my heart rate start to slow down as the adrenaline from my nightmare wore off. It didn’t chase away my fears. Deep inside I could feel the sticky feeling consuming me slowly. I tried to ignore it but I couldn’t sleep with the weight on my soul. So I watched my alpha, and kept a protective hand over my belly as I tried to forget about the horrible beasts in the woods.
“You look like shit.” Koda said in his normal no bear-shit manner.
I had to admit he was right. I was laying outside of my den attempting to nap. The nightmares I’d been having for the past few weeks had been keeping me up. All of them were the same in various ways. Me paralyzed as the monsters from the woods held me down and tell me that they’ll take me, and kill Zora. Seeing my mate dead over and over again, was poisoning my mind in so many ways. It was like holding in the truth was starting to bleed into my dreams.
“I’ve been having some nightmares. I’m afraid of what the pack will do if they find out, especially after the whole frantic fuck fest.” I admitted without raising my head, my ears drooping pathetically to the sides.
“I wouldn’t worry about that. The females are the only ones still bitching.” Koda snorted out a laugh. “They’re just pissed they didn’t get a dicking.”
“A dicking? I’m not sure that’s a word.” I was almost positive that was not a word. Not that it mattered, I didn’t want hear more wolves were upset with me about the whole massive orgy I had no control over. I was trying to win the pack over not make them hate me more. “The last thing I need is for the pack to not trust me.”
