Posing for the Omega (For the Alpha #2)(26)

Svara looked at me again. “They won’t come for you, not yet. They will know you are with pups and it goes against the most sacred laws to bring death near potential life.”

“That’s hot horse piss! They murdered four of my pack members, and a lot of fucking squirrels. They have no problem killing anything to make a point I’m sure of it!”

“They must have not known you were pregnant at the time, but I’m absolutely positive that until you give birth they will stay away. It goes against Frenrir and they are not that fucking bold.” She eyed my belly closely and nodded her head. “You have at least three months to figure your shit out. Either you accept my offer or you die. Either way I’m not affected.” Her shoulders shrugged in an uninterested example.

“You’re a heartless bitch.” Koda spat, the hairs on his spine spiked up in extreme agitation. “Why can’t you just tell us? What do you get out of not telling us?”

“Koda stop.” Please please shut your mouth for once in your life. Out of all my siblings Koda was always the one to make the largest spectacle and in our current situation it wasn’t what was needed — at all. “If I prove to you me and my alpha are different then the other luperci you will tell us everything we need to know?” Even with the clarification out there I had no idea how I was going to prove to this luperci that my mate and I were unlike other luperci. Hell I didn’t know what other luperci were like and that was a big disadvantage.

“Yeah sounds about right. Also convince your alpha to untie my ass. I’m not sitting her for the next three months.”

“You know he can’t do that, not after what you did in the woods and with the blood wolves out there.” Koda growled again, still unable to keep his temper under control.

“I will.” I said before I could change my mind. What choice did I have? She was the only resource we had at this point, and I didn’t think we had much hope of finding another one — and if she was right we only had until my pups were born. “Why—”

“Ira.” The deep call of my mates voice cut off my question. Zora approached in his two form, strong muscles tense as he looked between me and the female luperci. Byrin was already on his paws following the alpha as he passed with Alloy and Naga at his heels both in their second forms as well. To say my belly was cramping with nerves was a big understatement. Oh I was in trouble, I could see it in the deep burn of his black eyes he was pissed. Not that I was surprised, I’d known he would be, but knowing he would be and actually seeing it burned my heart. Even after discovering everything he’d kept from me, I still loved him and I didn’t want to make his disappointed in me. “Ira you should not be here.”

“I needed to speak to her.” He had to understand, I needed to find Dey, to make everyone safe. To protect him, Koda, Alloy my pups, hell even fucking Naga!

“You don’t listen. You make a terrible alpha mate because of it.” Naga growled from Zora’s side. “I’m tired of it. Any other wolf would be punished for the things you’ve done, and I don’t doubt whatever these wolves that stalk our pack now have something to do with you.” Her words lingered in the air as everyone stared in shock. She’d gone much farther than most would dare.

“Naga—” Zora growled.

“Oh what a feisty female.” Svara purred (and I’m not exaggerating when I say the luperci purred, it was disturbing.) “So feral. Untie me so that I can put you under me, I’d love to see you writhe as I eat your— .”

“Holy moose farts that is way too descriptive!” If I didn’t have fur I’m sure they would see the flush running all over my body. If I wasn’t mistaken there was a flush running over Naga’s body and her eyes widened as she began to splutter. Okay, so fate could be rewarding sometimes and give little lovely crumbs like Naga being completely speechless. Zora snorted out what could only be a concealed attempt not to laugh. Alloy grinned broadly, his white teeth shining against his midnight skin as he chuckled.

“I wouldn’t let you anywhere near me, filthy fucking monster.” Naga barked, the blush of embarrassment turning into one of rage.

The humor in our alpha’s eyes died quickly as he looked at the she wolf. She held herself defensively, vibrating with so much anger I could almost feel it like a punch to the gut from where I stood. “You are too easily unsettled Naga. This female means to rile you and you let her do so easily.” Zora put a powerful hand on Naga’s bare shoulder, his grip squeezing tightly causing the her to gasp and squirm under the pressure. I grimaced, it did not look comfortable. “As for my mate, I harbor no doubt how you feel about Ira, but I warn you and I will not warn you again - if you question Ira’s loyalty you question your loyalty to me.”

Naga stood rigid for a few moments before her shoulders relaxed and she took the pain with acceptance. “Yes alpha.” It was the first time I’d seen our alpha inflict a punishment in his second form. I felt a hot burn in my groin - no, no I was not getting aroused watching my alpha put Naga in her place, I will deny it if you ever say it happened.

“Oh the omega is getting hard! I can see it even under that swollen belly. Must like watching the alpha—”

“No! No! I wasn’t I just...have to pee!” I shouted interrupting Svara’s teasing. Mother, was she worse than Naga? I really think she was. Damn it, she was right though, observant psycho that she was, she was definitely worse than Naga. I was starting to wish she just didn’t exist...and I’d only known her for a solid fifteen minutes of my life. A long, painful, emotionally scarring, talon biting, teeth grinding, moose fucking, horse pissing, fifteen minutes.
