บททั้งหมดของ The Omega's Revenge : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Jade I stepped into the bustling grand hall, my heels clicking against the marble floors. All around me were crowds of people dressed in their finest clothes, mingling and laughing as they awaited the start of the mating ceremony. As soon as I entered, the lively chatter softened to hushed murmurs. All eyes turned to look at me, raking up and down my body judgmentally. I tugged self-consciously at the neckline of my dress, the fabric straining tight across my chest. I felt entirely too exposed in the slinky, low-cut number that Brad had picked out for me, but I had worn it just for him, wanting to look perfect tonight. I felt my cheeks burn as the whispering continued. I didn't understand the sudden attention on me. Had Brad announced something I didn't know about? Were the marks he'd left on my neck last night still visible despite the layers of concealer I had carefully applied? Was I late? Flustered, I searched the sea of faces for my golden-haired alpha. Tonight was the night B

Jade I sank to my knees sobbing while Helena screamed at me, her face red. "You did what? I can't believe you got a threat like that and didn't go to the police! What if you had been attacked? That's it, we're calling them right now." Helena grabbed her purse, rifling for her phone. Just then the house phone rang, startling us both. Helena picked it up cautiously. "Hello?" A garbled, robotic voice came through the speakers. "Put it on speakerphone. Now." With shaking hands, Helena hit the speaker button. "Who is this?" she demanded. "You may call me Mr. N," the voice said. "And I'd advise against calling the police if you want the children to remain unharmed." Helena and I exchanged horrified looks. This was the kidnapper! "What do you want?" Helena cried. "We'll give you anything, just don't hurt the kids!" The voice laughed coldly. "I'm not speaking to you. Put Jade on, now." I felt sick. This creep knew both of us. How long had he been watching us? "Please," I begged tea

JadeI stared up at the hulky man looming over me. Conan was a mountain of muscle and authority, his tall frame casting me in shadow. Golden eyes glinted from behind a black leather mask covering the lower half of his rugged face. Those piercing eyes were fixed on me now, hard and assessing. I suppressed a shudder under that intense gaze. Of all the easygoing wolves in Alpha Bradley's pack, only Conan seemed to exude true menace. He was the enforcer, swift and merciless to any threat. Every instinct warned me to avoid him at all costs. Yet here I was, trapped and exposed."Well?" Conan's voice rumbled deep in his chest. "Explain yourself."I scrambled desperately for some excuse, some logical reason for the suspicious messages he glimpsed on my phone screen. But under pressure, nothing remotely convincing came to mind. After a tense silence, Conan crossed his massive arms. "Since you seem unwilling to explain, I have no choice but to r

JadeI let out a heavy sigh as I sank down onto the lumpy mattress in my dingy temporary apartment. What a mess this day had turned into. Reaching for my burner phone, I quickly typed out an update to Mr. N. 'Minor complication. The beta, Conan, saw a suspicious message on my phone. I spun him a story about wanting revenge on Brad for breaking my heart years ago. He seems to buy it for now, but will be keeping close tabs on me. I'll be careful.'I stared at the blinking cursor, hesitating. Should I mention Conan's absurd contract demanding I provide free medical services to the pack? No, best to keep some cards close to my chest. It's better if he doesn't know all about Conan. Yes. I deleted the message and hit the phone in the bedside drawer. Next I called Helena, needing to hear her cheerful voice after the stressful events of the day."Hey girl, how are you holding up?" she asked gently when she picked up.I flopped bac

JadeA short while later, as I continued my duties, Conan appeared at the entrance of the infirmary. He leaned casually against the doorframe, his gaze fixed on me. "Everything okay?" he asked, his voice low.I nodded, grateful for his presence. "Yes, just a surprise visit from the alpha. He inquired about our friendship."Conan's lips quirked into a sly smile. "Well, speaking of our friendship, how about we make it more convincing?"I raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "What do you have in mind?"Conan pushed himself off the doorframe and approached me, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "How about we go on a date, right in front of Brad?"My eyes widened in surprise. I hadn't expected such a bold suggestion. "A date? Are you sure that's a good idea?"Conan shrugged nonchalantly. "Why not? It's all part of the act, and it'll drive Brad crazy with jealousy. Plus, we could use some time to relax and have fun, even if it's fake."I considered his proposal. The idea of a date in front of
