Odessa POV

The jig was up. Mom called Evyn’s mother to ask how long I’d stay at their house, and the cat was let out of the bag.

After the good sob I had when I got home, I felt better. It was like emptying all the filth I felt inside.

“There you are!” Mom yelled, throwing her hands in the air for added effect.

“Hi, Mom,” I mumbled.

“That’s all you have to say to me?”

“Mom, I’m sorry I ghosted you. I just needed time to myself.”

“Did you get that pregnancy test?”

“Yes,” I said through my teeth. “It came back negative.”

She planted her hand on her chest and collapsed on the couch.

“I thought I was going to be a grandmother. I’m too young for that.”

“I’m happy for you,” I mumbled.

She laughed. “Odessa, don’t tell me you’re disappointed? Are you really going through all this because of a boy? What did I always teach you?”

I paused before I climbed the stairs. It would have been easier to run upstairs and let her rant until her heart was content. I balled my hands into fists and turned ar

  • The Quarterback's Omega Mate   Chapter 138

    Maverick POVAfter the medical staff cleared me to train and play in the next game, I drove to the pack house for an emergency meeting with the pack council. This Dustin situation got me thinking, and I was torn.I never wanted my little brother to get in the middle of this war, but it was inevitable.He was innocent.When I arrived at the pack house, every member of the council was present and waiting for me. After the Luna trials and Rune’s attack on a council member, I had to find new members. Pearl was banished, Sofia was forced into retirement, and so was Higgins since his wife needed him more than we did.I was glad to see them all gone. Higgins was difficult to handle, and I didn’t trust him. I picked Coach Manson for a spot in the council; he qualified, and I knew he was on my side. Coral, a seer in the pack, was another new addition and Jeff, a local businessman who worked with my Dad.“Is everything alright, Alpha?” Darius asked.“Far from it,” I mumbled.“You’ve defeated th

  • The Quarterback's Omega Mate   Chapter 137

    Odessa POV“How did he get here?” I asked.“I can’t imagine it would be that hard to find the Alpha’s house.”We wrapped Dustin up in a bunch of towels, but he was still shivering. Wolves could usually tell their kin, but what if this was a random pup and not Dustin?Then what would we do?“Why isn’t he shifting back if he’s your brother?” I hissed.“He’s probably scared, or he can’t.”Seeing the little wolf shiver broke my heart.“Maverick, he’s so little.”Mav nodded. “He’s probably new to this. I haven’t seen him in so long.”Guilt washed over his face. Mav got down to the wolf’s level. He didn’t flinch or try to run.“You’re okay, Dustin. I’m going to take care of you. I’d never turn you away.”The wolf whimpered. Maybe it was all the medication I was on, but tears filled my eyes.“Come on, buddy. Shift.”Dustin whimpered.“You can do it. I’m right here.”Dustin rested his head between his paws and looked up at his brother.“Odessa, I might have to force him to shift.”“No, that’l

  • The Quarterback's Omega Mate   Chapter 136

    Odessa POVThe day went by like a snail trying to cross the road. Having to go through it felt like a punishment. Ryder was the only casualty from the incident.Brandon was still in the wind. We had a wonderful ceremony for Ryder. The whole pack showed up except the one man who needed to be there. His sister flew back home just to say goodbye to her brother.Watching her break down in her mother’s arms was devastating.Ryder’s mother didn’t want people coming back to her house after the burial was over. People had their opinions about that, but the poor woman lost her son and her husband. I could imagine she didn’t want a lot of people around her for a second longer.The Daciana Devils invited people back to the stadium for refreshments and to celebrate the life of their captain. The invite extended to the Wildcats in a rare form of solidarity.I went because I worked there. Maverick had to attend, too, since he was the Alpha.“This team’s never going to be the same,” Callie commented

  • The Quarterback's Omega Mate   Chapter 135

    Maverick POV“Everyone get out!” I yelled.Panic broke out. Everyone abandoned their food or drinks.“Cover your noses!”The bitter smell attacked my nostrils and threatened to close up my throat. I battled against it all. My mate had passed out in my arms.I got her outside and placed her on the ground. My backup just arrived.“What happened?” Storm demanded.“Brandon was receiving another delivery of the chemical weapon. They unleashed it in the alley. Rex better have found a cure.”“He’s in his way,” Storm replied.“Get Alto. He’s not leaving this pack!” I ordered.Gage and Storm darted off. The betas from the army ensured the civilians were okay.I breathed into Odessa’s mouth, trying to revive her. She’d been weak when we came here. She only inhaled seconds of the gas.“Wake up, babe. We’ve got so much to do.”I pumped her chest. Damn it, she wasn’t moving.“You can’t leave me, Odessa!”She jerked forward and coughed.“Get off me,” she mumbled.I breathed a sigh of relief. “You g

    Odessa POV“The way you handled Gavin was so hot. Don’t stress, you handled an Alpha wolf. A little doctor shouldn’t scare you.” Maverick said as he planted kisses on my lips.I lay on a stiff hospital bed waiting for my first doctor consultation before I start my treatments. Maverick drove us here after leaving the pack house.It felt too soon to be back here. It wasn’t that long ago when I’d been probed and made to do every test possible.“Miss Sloane, nice to have you back so soon!” Doctor Mason beamed.At least he was happy to see me.“Alpha Maverick, good to have you here, too. It’s best to start the treatment as soon as possible.” Maverick took my hand and squeezed it.“Do you have any questions, Miss Sloane?”I nodded. “How long will treatment last?”“A couple of months. After two months, I hope to see significant progress.”“Will this affect our mating ceremony?” Maverick asked.Doctor Mason held his clipboard tightly to his chest. “It all depends on how she’s feeling at the

    Odessa POV“Uh… you brought Odessa. How’s your mother? I heard she married a fat cow.”“Don’t talk about her,” I snapped, but my voice was shaky.The scar on his face and his eye were a constant reminder of my kidnapping. If he hadn’t shown up, I would have been fine.Meadow pushed small doses of venom to my fingertips.I pushed her away. I can’t do that.Maverick’s jaw connected with Gavin’s jaw.I gasped. “Mav!”He rubbed his knuckles. “He was asking for it.”Gavin was chained to a chair. I could tell by the cuts on his forehead and neck area that he had taken a beating. However, wolves had really good healing powers.“Why did you bring her then?” He growled.“I’m not your toy. Where are the other chemicals?” I demanded.“I’m not a snitch,” he spat.“You’re going to wish you were,” Maverick growled.Gavin straightened his spine and raised his chin. “It was never personal, Maverick, now it is. I’m going to destroy you, and I’m going to keep your mate. After all, I saw her first!”Mav
