Chapter 3: OMEGAS DON’T FEEL LIKE THIS

ANDREA’S POV

I was burning.

I was burning from the inside out, and the heat of the male with his arms wrapped tightly around me wasn’t helping.

Kade slept beside me, his dark lashes casting shadows over his sharp cheekbones. In sleep, he looked almost... peaceful. Not the ruthless Alpha who had ruthlessly, and wholly claimed me with last night.

‘Explosive’ was the only word that came close to describing the passion of our mating last night. I’d never been…loved so thoroughly before. Kade had been dominant yet tender, passionate yet sweet.

It had been incomparable to anything else I’d ever experienced, and I was so glad I hadn’t shared last night with Beck, my cheating ex. The connection had felt raw, intense, and all-consuming, as if we were not just sharing our bodies but intertwining the very essence of our souls.

Now, I wanted to lay in this moment forever, just staring at the gorgeous face of my mate while he slept. I stared and stared and stared, memorizing how his long lashes cast shadows on his high cheekbones and the way his full lips parted every time he exhaled.

Watching him, a warm feeling spread through me. It was too much; I felt like I was being scorched.

A strange electric sensation spread from the mark he left on my neck to my entire body and deep inside me, something was different.

What was happening? Was this what it was like after mating? Sex with Beck had never felt like this; was it different if it was with your mate?

Gently, trying not to wake Kade, I lifted his arms off me and sat up. A cool breeze blew in through the open window, but the feeling was still there. It was not an illusion.

I looked back at Kade. He didn’t seem to be in any discomfort.

I pushed off the bed and stumbled into the en-suite bathroom, grabbing the sink to support myself when I suddenly felt dizzy.

I turned on the tap and splashed cold water on my face. I looked into the mirror—and froze.

I was glowing.

It was faint, and someone might have suspected it was a reflection of the morning sun, but my sharp werewolf eyes caught the subtle glow emanating from every pore in my skin.

But—

My eyes were never this sharp. I blinked, suddenly aware that my surroundings were different. Everything felt…sharper and more intense, like I was seeing the world in 4 K.

This wasn’t a mating thing, I realized, as my heart started beating wildly in my chest. This was a me thing.

Something was happening—specifically to me.

I felt something building up inside me, and instinctively, I bared my teeth at the mirror and felt my wolf growl.

My eyes widened further as my fangs elongated. They were longer and sharper than normal. Not the fangs of a lowly Omega who never stood a chance on the hunting grounds.

These canines looked like they could rip through anything, and my body…

Omegas were weak—the weakest members of their packs. It was a fate I’d come to terms with a long time ago. I was weak, I was frail, I was insignificant.

But now, even as I thought those things, Emrae growled, chafing at the derision. And I didn’t feel weak, not like I usually did.

I felt strong. Powerful.

I felt like I could run a hundred miles without breaking a sweat. Through my eyes in the mirror, I could see my wolf; I could feel her awakening with a strange new power.

"What is happening?" I whispered at my reflection, shaking.

'You are,' Emrae answered back, her usually small voice steady and firm, unlike I’d ever heard it. 'You feel it, don’t you?'

“Omegas don’t feel like this.”

I felt my lips pull back into a fierce grin, those fangs glinting viciously.

The shrill sound of my phone ringing cut through my thoughts, and I rushed back into the room. I grabbed the phone and answered the call before it could wake Kade up.

"Finally picking up?" Beck's voice came. "I left you ten messages."

I was beginning to regret answering the phone.

My grip tightened on the phone. "I was... busy."

"Spare me." A drawer slammed in the background. "Your shit’s in boxes. Be out by noon or it’s on the curb."

The call disconnected before I could respond.

Bastard.

I stared at my reflection—flushed cheeks, kiss-swollen lips, the unmistakable mating mark. Kade would wake soon. I should wait. Tell him.

Beck’s threat coiled in my gut like a snake. Every sweater my grandmother had knitted, every dog-eared novel, the photo of my parents—

I couldn’t risk it.

My dress was still at the foot of the bed, and I grabbed it, hurriedly slipping into it while putting my shoes on simultaneously.

I put a soft kiss on Kade's lips quickly. "I'll be back soon," I whispered and left the room.

But if I had known what chaos that morning would lead us to, I definitely would have made a different choice.

    NATASHA’S POVI thought my life was over when my cushy world as an Alpha’s daughter—and fiancé—was tipped on its axis when my dad gave me away to his ‘friend’ for protection.Then I thought I’d hit rock bottom when the ‘friend’ shoved me into lingerie made of cheap net and plastic diamonds and forced me to dance and fuck under the name Vixen.And then, when Kade had me dragged out of that strip club, kicking and screaming, I thought there was absolutely no fucking way things could ever get worse.Little did I know that that night was only the beginning of my misery.The dungeon I was thrown into after my so-called arrest was little more than a holding pen—a pit of damp stone and silence. No windows. No voices. Just the mocking echo of my own thoughts.Kade had said I could be pardoned if I persuaded my father to cooperate, but I never even saw him.Days passed, and I didn’t see my father. Didn’t see Kade.

    ANDREA’S POVThe dining room looked like a war room.Maps and reports covered every inch of the table, the TV was muted but still playing the news on loop, and the weight of the stress was so heavy that every one of us looked like we hadn’t slept in days.The scent of cheese and tomato sauce hung thick in the air, but despite how delicious Fabio’s lasagna looked, no one seemed to be able to stomach food.“I still say we push for a public statement,” Gina said, arms crossed over her chest. “Control the narrative before the mayor does any more damage.”“No.” That came from Kade, low and firm. His secretary, David, and the head of his sentinels, Richard, stood quietly behind him, observing, waiting for orders.“We don’t have proof. Not yet. If we speak now, it’ll only draw more attention to the factory and its staff. We can’t counter shit if we don’t have concrete evidence.”“Then we sow discord,” Fabio said, fingers tapping restlessly against his coffee mug. “Just enough to discredit th

    BELLA’S POVIt felt like everything was falling apart.From the moment Nico came into my room, informing me that I had to exit the factory with the rest of the staff, to when I stepped out into the bright chaos of flashing lights and rising voices.Packed like sardines with the staff, snippets of what was going on filtered into my ears all around me.‘The kidnappings…’‘Alpha’s behind it? No fucking way!’‘I heard they found evidence. Files, or some bullshit.’‘What’s going to happen?’‘No fucking clue.’Now, I hugged my knees to myself, curling up on an unfamiliar single bed in an unfamiliar room. The walls were a cheerful collage of bright colors and cartoon characters that contrasted with the dread sitting heavy in my stomach.I could hear the chaos downstairs, muffled by the walls and the floor between us.Alpha Andrea’s home had been turned into a base of operations of sorts. She and Alpha Kade, along with her friend, Julia, Gina, Fabio, Nico, and two members of Kade’s pack whose

    ANDREA’S POVThe air felt too thick. I couldn’t breathe. My legs locked in place, as if moving might somehow make the nightmare more real.That file—the file of all the fucking missing people—was in my office.How the fuck had it gotten there?Behind me, I heard Kade’s breath catch—a sharp, bitten-off inhale that told me exactly how bad this looked. Worse than bad. Catastrophic.Not just for me—but for everything I’d built in New York.Red Water Pack's relation with all the other packs. My factory. The shaky, fragile threads of trust we’d spun with the human world.Gone. All of it. With a file folder and four vials of goddess-knows-what.“I want the lab results expedited,” Blackstone was saying, addressing his aides like some smug CEO of justice. “Chain of custody needs to be airtight. I want analysis within 48 hours.”“Mayor Blackstone—” I tried, stepping forward.“No.” His voice cracked across the room like a whip. “You don’t speak right now unless it’s to admit how deep this goes.”

    ANDREA’S POVFrom the moment the news hit, everything exploded.The phones wouldn’t stop ringing. Reporters clustered outside the factory gates like vultures in human clothes.Protesters had already started gathering by the time Kade and I stepped out into the chaos—some waving hand-painted signs, others shoving even more cameras in our faces.The tension hung in the air like a storm cloud, dark and humming with static.As I beheld the havoc, my heart sank to the pit of my stomach.This place—my factory—had been created to represent progress, peace, and collaboration between wolves and humans.That had once been threatened by the potion/plague fiasco. But this…This was much worse.Now, it looked like a crime scene. Police cruisers lined the curb. Yellow tape crisscrossed the entrance. And at the center of it all stood Mayor Blackstone, flanked by two stiff-looking aides and a small a

    ANDREA’S POV“Alphas, we have another one.”I sucked in a breath, fighting the urge to scream. Gina stood hesitantly at the door, clutching the landline like it might bite her. Or I might.In hindsight, we probably shouldn’t have told the packs we visited to contact us if they had any leads. And we definitely shouldn't have set up a hotline for the general public to report suspicious disappearances.Since then, we’d been buried in a flood of reports—ranging from “I think the guy I’m dating plans to kidnap me” to “My ex isn’t responding to my texts. She must have been kidnapped.”Some were credible—real cases that matched the patterns we were investigating.The headache was sorting through the noise, trying to filter what was serious and what was garbage.“Give it here,” Kade said, extending a hand toward Gina.I gave him a grateful smile a
