Posing for the Omega (For the Alpha #2)(39)

“You’re going to regret that.” He stalked towards me on steady feet. “Fucking piece of shit om—”

A massive ash furred body slammed into the luperci throwing him to the ground with so much force I felt the vibrations through the earth. Zora, it was my alpha. Heart seizing I watched as he tangled with the other wolf Zora’s teeth snapping towards his throat and only catching his arms as the other luperci tried to keep him away from his vulnerable throat. I saw the deadly claws of the luperci slash across my alphas nose, blood staining in almost white fur. Zora howled out a furious noise before he latched onto the luperci’s hand with his teeth and crushed the appendage with his bite. They struggled for a long minute trading positions as they rolled around until my alpha finally settled on top of the other luperci as he held his arms imboile he sank his fangs into his enemies neck and shook with so much force I had to look away. A gentle hand landed on my shoulder made me bark in surprise as I bared my fangs and faced the danger head on. There was no danger. Naga stood in her second form, Svara in her luperci form at her side. The two females looked grim as they looked towards where Zora was. Naga’s eyes were wide and a wild look of fear and confusion permeated off of her, but she remained silent as she looked at her alpha… who she hadn’t known was a luperci like me.

“Come on pup let me help you up.” Svara said unusually gentle as she grabbed for my arms and helped me to my feet. Gritting my teeth I bared the pain silently as I leaned into her so that I wouldn’t fall back down. Naga went under my other arm supporting me between the two of them. “Koda, Alloy they need help. They’re by the riverbed.” I panted. They were ok, they had to be ok.

“Bryin and the other Beta’s are tending to them.” Naga confirmed.

“We need to get out of here before more of those fuckers show up.” Svara said quickly as she looked on the scene in front of us.

I looked up to see my alpha standing over the dead luperci his chest heaving as he looked down at his kill. There was something wrong, in the way he stood in the tense lines of his body as he kept looking down at the corpse. “Zora.” My voice wasn’t as loud as I’d wanted it to be but I know he heard me when his ears swiveled in my direction, but still he didn’t turn.

“He’s fighting the bloodlust.” Svara said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the first time he’d felt it. We need to go.”

“I’m not leaving without my mate.” I gasped as a sharp pain pulled at my back.

“You’re injured and we need to get out of here before more of them show up. Stop being a fucking idiot.” Svara snapped, trying to walk us back to the dens.

I dug my heels into the floor in a sad attempt to stay. I wouldn’t leave without my mate. I couldn’t. “Alpha, please.” A whine escaped me as I looked at my alpha’s frozen form.

“Ira she’s right we need to g—”

“I peed myself!” The females stopped trying to pull me confused. Zora cocked his head and finally looked away from the dead alpha. My stomach lurched painfully when he gazed at me with blood red eyes. A gaze so much like the ones in my nightmares. Like the luperci he’d just killed — Like Lathos.“I peed myself in front of the girls, and I was embarrassed so I came to clean up. He had Koda. I was terrified he’d kill him and then Alloy showed up and he— I thought they were going to die.” A sob escaped me as all the fear and pain finally caught up to me in a massive wash of emotions. I could have lost them. “I need you right now… please alpha.”

Recognition seeped into his eyes as the red faded from them and the familiar black depths I loved returned. He took a deep breath and shifted into his second form, leaving behind the bloodlust. I sagged against the females as relief stole what little energy I had left in my body. Did my knees just turn to goo? They felt like they had. Zora must have noticed the effort the two were having keeping me standing, because he jogged over quickly and took Naga’s place at my right side. Naga moved away from him quickly as if his proximity burned her skin, but he didn’t seem to notice as he took the majority of my weight. Blood was smeared all over his face from the slash marks across his nose. The urge to lick his wounds clean was so strong I tried to lean towards him, but stopped when I wobbled even more. “Geb, Hert, Shy — gather the body and bring it to the dens.” Zora ordered. Exhaustion seeped into my body replacing the fear and adrenaline. Everything ached and I think my head lolled to the side because I swear I heard Svara say something like—

“Watch out, he’s about to pass—”





“What are you?”

“Something different.”

“And the pup? Who’s is he?”

“He’s mine. I’m his Dama, that’s all you need to know.”

“I don’t understand. How is that possible… you’re male?”

“Yes and no… I’m not like you wolves and neither is he.”

“What are you doing out here alone?”

“Trying to save his life.”

“He’s in danger?”

“My pack would hurt him badly if they found him.”

“What is his name?”

“Ira. I thought I would like him to keep a piece of me, even if it’s only my name.”
