**Aiden’s POV**

I gasped, my chest tight and crushing, the air in my lungs thin and useless.

I was soaked in blood, my parents’ blood. They lay dead in front of me, eyes wide and glassy, staring at nothing. The metallic tang of it filled my nose; it was sticky and cooling against my skin, seeping into the fabric of my clothes.

I scrambled backward on my hands, palms slipping in the wetness, until my back slammed into the door. Tears burned hot trails down my cheeks. I tried to stand, but my

  • The Nerdy Omega’s Three Protectors    I was scared

    **Aiden’s POV**I gasped, my chest tight and crushing, the air in my lungs thin and useless. I was soaked in blood, my parents’ blood. They lay dead in front of me, eyes wide and glassy, staring at nothing. The metallic tang of it filled my nose; it was sticky and cooling against my skin, seeping into the fabric of my clothes. I scrambled backward on my hands, palms slipping in the wetness, until my back slammed into the door. Tears burned hot trails down my cheeks. I tried to stand, but my legs refused, trembling and weak. When I looked down, I was still gripping the bat, the same one I’d smashed into my stepfather’s skull. “I didn’t mean to,” I muttered, voice cracking. “I didn’t mean to do it.” I kept repeating it, staring at the bodies. “It wasn’t my fault.” The words tore out of me. “I was only trying to protect myself. He would have killed me. He tried to kill me.” The more I spoke, the harder the tears fell, blurring everything into red and shadow. My eyes flew open,

  • The Nerdy Omega’s Three Protectors    I'm sorry

    Aiden's POV They took the handcuffs off and carried me back to the interrogation room, Harlan the investigator was there with me. He stood by the door with his arms crossed, watching the paperwork get signed the way a man watches weather he can't stop."The case has been ruled as self defense, it was signed and documented by the judge," he said, mostly to the room, though his eyes stayed on me. "Judge Alvarez reviewed the file this morning, no charges were filed. You are free to go Aiden."It should have felt like relief. It felt like static, a kind of ringing quiet where relief was supposed to be."That was fast," I said."Faster than I've seen in twenty years on the job." He didn't say it like a compliment. He said it like a man setting something down carefully because he suspected it might be hollow underneath. "For what it's worth, the evidence was strong on its own. You didn't need anyone's help to walk out of here."I didn't answer that, because I didn't know which version of t

  • The Nerdy Omega’s Three Protectors    let's sweep it under a rug

    Aiden's POV The sleep never came, not really. I lay on the thin mattress bolted to the wall, wrists finally free of the cuffs but still feeling their shape, and watched the small window near the ceiling turn from black to gray to a flat, indifferent white. Someone brought a tray of food I didn't touch. Someone else came to take more photographs, this time of the bruises around my throat, close enough that I could feel their breath. It was almost noon when they moved me to a room with better light and a woman waiting behind a table stacked with folders that weren't Harlan's. "Aiden." She said my name like she'd practiced it. "My name is Renata Cole. I'll be representing you." "I didn't ask for a lawyer." "No," she agreed, sitting down slowly, the way you'd sit near something that might bolt. "But someone retained me on your behalf, and given what I've read in the preliminary report, you're going to want one whether you asked or not." I knew whose money had bought her before she

  • The Nerdy Omega’s Three Protectors    Interrogation

    Aiden's POV The back of the police car smelled like old coffee and disinfectant that couldn’t quite cover the metallic tang still clinging to me. My hands were cuffed in front of me, blood already drying in the creases of my knuckles, under my nails, in the webbing between my fingers. Every time the car hit a bump the cuffs bit deeper but I didn’t flinch. I just stared at the dark smear on the seat in front of me and tried to remember how to breathe without tasting copper.They’d taken the bat. They’d taken the knife. They’d bagged the letter. They’d left my mother’s body floating in the tub like something that didn’t belong to me anymore.At the station they processed me like evidence. They collected my fingerprints, too my photographs and swabs under my nails. Someone cut my blood-soaked clothes off with scissors and handed me a paper jumpsuit that scratched. They left the cuffs on while a nurse cleaned the worst of the blood from my face and arms. She didn't ask me any ques

  • The Nerdy Omega’s Three Protectors    Suspect

    **Aiden’s POV**My eyes darted around for anything I could use. Under the bed sat an old cardboard box, the one that held the things I’d once wished I could do with my step dad. Inside it was a baseball bat. I stretched for it just as he came down on top of me, trying to force himself on me.I snatched the bat up and swung hard. The wood cracked against his skull with a wet, sickening thud. He collapsed on top of me, palms pressed flat against the place I’d struck. Warm blood rolled down his face in thick, sticky streams and dripped onto my skin. The metallic scent hit me immediately, sharp, coating the back of my throat.I shoved him off and scrambled for the door for the third time, but his bloody hand clamped around the fabric of my joggers. The bat was still in my grip. I swung again. And again. And again. The impacts jarred up my arms. Splinters of wood mixed with the wet slap of blood. Everything I had ever said about wishing my parents would look at me with love in their ey

    WARNING THE CONTENT OF THIS CHAPTER MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR READERS WHO HAVE EVER GONE THROUGH ASSAULT. IT MAYBE BE MILD BUT IT MIGHT TRIGGER YOU. **Aiden’s POV** We separated in the hospital parking lot. I took a taxi home. Jordan had offered to drop me off, but I refused. I didn’t want my parents finding out I’d been with any of them and by now, I was sure they already knew I hadn’t been home. There was no point sneaking back in. Climbing through my bedroom window was impossible, and like I’d already told myself, they were waiting. “Where the hell are you coming from? After ignoring your father and me, you had the guts to sneak out of the house?” My mother’s voice sliced through the air, sharp and ear-piercing. “Where I’m coming from has nothing to do with you, Mother.” She flinched, eyes widening. Disbelief tightened every line of her face as she glanced around the room, as if looking for an audience. “You’ve grown wings now, huh? You have the audacity to talk back to me.
