Mag-log inIt was quiet for those few seconds as everyone stared at the police woman. What she had just said was enough to shake the room. It remained still for a few more long seconds before Leon finally broke the silence by chuckling without humor. “I knew it.” He stood on his feet. “I f*cking knew it!” He coffeed while shaking his head. Then he placed his hands on his waist and locked eyes with the woman. “I knew that it was a setup. The woman had been doing so well.” The woman cleared her throat before nodding. “Yes. It was.” She swallowed. “The crazy thing is that we could not get footage of what happened from the cameras installed in the facility. But then after a few days, we got mailed everything we needed. And it was sent from the same person who did it all.” “Who?” Cassie asked at the same time that the omega did as well. “It was Malek, the guy who the dark prophecy is about. We currently have an arrest warrant for him and will be going for him this evening. But I wanted to talk to
It was quiet and Councilman Vance did not say anything for the first few long seconds. It was that way and the omega could sense the awkwardness building up, and this made her almost regret why she had called the man. But she knew that she needed to do it. She cleared her throat a bit, trying to remind the man that she was still on the line, even though she felt like he already knew. “What do you need, Selena?” He finally spoke, his voice firm but mostly monotonous. “I need you to help him to get Maddox out of there. He does not belong there, and you know that.”The man scoffed a bit before chuckling under his breath. “Okay, hear me out. The alpha does belong exactly where he is right now. Do you want me to remind you of what he did? Elijah is currently fighting for his life in the hospital. It’s not even sure that he might pull through, and you’re here telling me that Maddox does not belong where he is?” Selena released a shaky sigh and nodded as if the man could see her. She kne
Selena sat there, feeling terrible about all of this. But she was just being honest. This was how she felt, she did not want to kill Malek. She knew that the beta and the blonde girl would not understand because they were not omegas. And she knew that if she were to even explain this to her mom, the woman would tell her to kill the guy all in the name of forgiveness. But honestly, the omega did not feel like that was the right thing to do. Killing anyone was not the right thing to do. “I’m so sorry,” She said, sniffling dryly as she stood up and left them there. She went to her room, trying to wrap her head around all of this. But she knew. She knew that they were right about one thing. They were right about it being their one chance at getting rid of Malek. And if there was another way that did not have to do with killing the guy, she would have agreed immediately. But she did not want to kill him. She did not think that he deserved that. Not after what the pack had done to him.
There she was, standing right next to the stone bench that she had been sitting on. Her heart was thumping in her chest and her eyes were weary from so much crying. She had left the Royal Mansion because she had gotten so overstimulated and depressed. She had felt like she needed some time to just sit alone without someone reminding her about how f*cked up everything was right now, and how she would be responsible to fix almost all of it all because the Moon Goddess had chosen her to be the savior for the pack. She walked over to the beta and the blonde girl. When she was closer, she could not help but pull Cassie in for a hug. She had really thought that they had lost her and was never going to be getting her back. “Oh my god, it’s really you,” She said when the girl hugged her back. “Yep,” Cassie popped the p in the word before breaking the hug. “Come on, let’s head back to the mansion. I will explain everything on our way.” The omega listened. They all walked back to the car an
Tracking the omega would not be so hard if the girl was in the house with them somewhere. But not when she was not and was most likely somewhere in the town.Their pack and town was not the largest, but it was on the bigger side if it was going to be compared to the majority of the other ones. So finding Selena just by her scent was going to be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. But that was not going to stop the beta from trying. He felt like it was the Moon goddess who had sent the blonde girl. Because how would he have known about Malek’s hibernation? At the same time, this was going to be a great distraction for him, considering that he really wanted to go over at the police station; he was itching to do it. He wanted to know what was happening with the alpha, but he was already warned. And not just once. So he knew that he was on very thin ice. Sitting behind the steering wheel while Cassie sat next to him, he drove them out of the compound. He had no idea where he w
Leon was released as soon as the alpha was in custody. He also was warned very strongly about going over to the police station as well, and that if he’d do that, he would definitely be arrested. He did not want to listen, but he also did not want to go to jail, knowing that it won’t do any good. Being behind bars would help no one, especially not the alpha. So he listened. He was pissed though. He was so pissed that the guy had not listened to him. Things would have been way easier if he had. But Leon knew that he could not go back in the past to change anything. So there was nothing but acceptance. He was back at the mansion, and he was tempted to drink heavily to try to numb all his racing hearts. But he chose to do something better. He chose to find the omega so they could talk and decide what they were going to do. He walked into her room and checked there but she was not there. He was not all too concerned at first, but he decided to do more searching first before worrying o
The morning felt heavy, hungover—Maddox from drinking so much, Selena from all the pain last night. “Well, uh…thank you for letting me spend the night,” The alpha said as he flashed her a small smile. He had already dressed up.She nodded and then watched him leave the room. She was glad he had g
Selena closed her eyes instinctively and it felt like…it felt like time had stopped. It felt like they had been shoved right off earth and were now in their own little world; a place where everything was perfect. Even if that would be just a few seconds. His lips were soft and cold at first until
“Selena…?” The omega heard her name being called as she stood there, but it sounded distant. “Selena?” The person called out her name again, this time, touching her shoulder gently. When she turned to see, it was her mom. “Are you okay?” The woman asked her.Selena smiled sadly and blinked, more
It went quiet and everyone stopped. It was as if time had paused. Pain ran through the omega and she held her leg as she cried on the ground.Her knee had scraped badly and she was bleeding. The pain was high and as much as she just wanted to pretend like nothing was wrong, she could not. She was s
