“Both of you need to get a check-up at the hospital tomorrow morning,” the man said. “We didn’t pick up anything serious but it can change anytime. If things get worse during the night, get to the hospital immediately. I’d keep a close eye on your Omega if I were you.”My eyes dropped as the man glanced at me. I just wanted everybody to leave so I could give in to the tears I had been holding back. My emotions were a mess but I didn’t want them to know that, especially not Tyrone.“They’ll probably tell you this at the hospital too, but I wanted to inform you in case you weren’t aware of it.” He paused and lowered his voice even though it was still loud enough for everyone to hear. “You’re Omega is underweight. With her heat so close it’s best to stick to a healthy balanced diet.”“Thank you,” Tyrone growled through clenched teeth. “Have a good night.”I watched from beneath my lashes as he walked to the ambulance and climbed in. A moment later they drove off and disappeared into the

I never wanted to l eave. The thought made me cry harder because I knew that I had to leave as soon as possible. For the first time in years I felt safe and protected with his warmth and scent surrounding me.“Ty?”My body jerked when Michel suddenly called out.“Hand me the shower head,” he ordered him.A few seconds later I heard the shower door slide open. I opened my eyes and watched as Michel reached up to remove the shower head from it’s spot on the wall and slowly lower it. His eyes darted from Tyrone to me and then back to him again.“What else do you need?” Michel asked.“Get some clean clothes and ask Bella to warm the food,” Tyrone said.The thought of food made my stomach twist with nausea. I wasn’t hungry. All I wanted to do was go to sleep and never wake up because then I would have to face the reality of my situation.Michel crouched in front of me and reached out to rub his thumb across my cheek. “Do you want anything, sweet pea?”I wanted a lot of things, but none of

Silence.She didn’t argue with me. She didn’t demand that she was fine and in no need of a doctor. She didn’t tell me that she would take care of the cuts by herself.Sin just continued eating like I wasn’t talking.My frown deepened when her movements slowed. Glancing over her head, I took note of how much she had eaten. Not nearly enough, but I didn’t push her to eat more when she placed the fork down and pushed the tray back. My eyes locked onto glass of milk that had been left untouched.“Drink some milk,” I ordered. “Warm milk before bed will help you sleep.”Sin stared at the glass for a few minutes and then reached out with a shaky hand to pick it up. One sip, then two. With a whimper, Sin leaned forward to place the glass down, but in her haste she ended up knocking it over. She couldn’t get to her feet fast enough.While she was struggling to stand the tray was knocked from the coffee table onto the floor. Gripping her hips, I lifted her to her feet but it was already too lat

I sucked in deep breathes of his scent and tried to be as discreet as possible while doing it. I hadn’t lied when I told him that he smelled good. His scent calmed the fear Bella’s actions had caused and the panic from Draven’s unexpected arrival.Draven had left by the time I had build up the courage to exit the bathroom but nobody had told me what he said. I wasn’t sure whether I should ask or just remain silent and ignore the fact that Jackson might talk Draven into agreeing with him.My body jerked in fright when Tyrone’s phone suddenly started ringing, breaking the tense silence that hung between us in the truck. Tyrone gripped the steering wheel with one hand and shifted in the seat to pull his phone from his pocket with his other hand.“Michel,” he greeted. “No, we haven’t reached town yet.”I turned to look out the window and tried my best to ignore the one-sided conversation, but it was hard to do especially when I heard my name mentioned twice. Watching him from the corner o

We weren’t heading back to the ranch.The road was familiar, one I had driven only a few weeks ago with Draven. Was he going to take me back? Was he pissed at Bella because she agreed to letting me stay?My breathing sped up the closer we got to the Omega Center. I clutched at the hem of my shirt and tried my best to think of something I could say to make him change his mind, but the panic rising wasn’t helping at all.“Please don’t take me back,” I cried. “I’m sorry I kissed Michel and I’m s-sorry Jackson broke into the cottage.”The truck slowed and then pulled over to the side of the road. I would beg him if I had too. I would do anything he wanted me to do just so he would turn the truck around.“Breathe, baby.” The seatbelt slipped away and a second later I found myself seated across his lap. “It’s okay. Breathe for me.”He rubbed my back, right over the aching spot. Whimpering, I pressed my face to the crook of his neck and tried to suck in his scent. It was a struggle but his c
