บททั้งหมดของ The Omega Best Friend : บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Gabbie POV“Why’d you follow me?” Tristan asked.“You really think I believed you when you said you were going to have breakfast with Kade?” Alex barked.“Why would you say that?” Kade snapped.“I had to come up with something!” Tristan threw his arms up.“Gabbie, we’re going.”“Enough, Alex. I’m not going to be your omega. You won’t use me for pleasure ever. I’ll take any punishment you give me, but I won’t be yours.”“No one’s punishing you. The only way you’re taking her is if I’m dead.”“That can be arranged.” Alex stepped forward.“Whoa, whoa, guys.” Tristan stepped between them.“He disrespected my mate,” Kade blasted.“You’re fucking crazy. Admit that you’re only using her.”“I love her. Look at that mate mark. She’s mine!”“Stop. Stop fighting! I’m not going and that’s final, Alex.” I flopped on the bed and lifted my chin.Alex ran a frustrated hand down his face. “I can’t protect you if you choose him.”“Kade’s been protecting me for a long time, Alex.”Alex’s brows furrowed.

Gabbie POV“Fuck. I have to check this out,” Kade said.“I’ll come with you.”Holden and Kade shared a look.“I could be dangerous, baby. I’ll feel more comfortable if you stay in my room until I come back.”I shook my head. “I’ll go to the omega quarters instead.”They’re all looking at me funny, but there were predators in the Alpha castle. I had a domestic exam coming up. I went to my room and dragged out my clothes. I needed to be perfect at folding and washing to ace this class.The dorm was quiet. I was the only one to fill the silence with the soft sound of clothes being folded and put away. A ripple through the silence happened when two girls burst into the room.“The academy’s never had attacks like this,” the girl with long knee socks told her friend with ponytails.“Or any attacks. Martin said he saw the beast run off after hurting that guy.”“Are you sure he isn’t making it up? How did he see it?“He said he was outside when he saw a huge black wolf run off.”“Ginger, don’

Gabbie POVEva handed me a brand-new strip of pills. I received it, thankfully.“Why did you go to the nurse’s alone, if you don’t mind me asking?”“Um, I didn’t want to bother anyone. Since Kade announced me as his mate, everyone’s been giving me the side eye.”Eva pouted. “I’m sorry. You can ask me next time.”“Why?” She knew Harlow and Leiah before me.It was easier to go along with the masses than stand out and do the right thing.“Because I don’t believe any of this is your fault. Alex is— was your best friend, and Kade is your mate, destined by fate. Sometimes we don’t choose who we fall in love with. Harlow doesn’t love Kade. She’s obligated to be with him. She’s blinded by humiliation and rage. Kade didn’t reject her, the moon goddess did them both a favour by erasing the mark Kade gave her. Do you know how rare that is?”I lifted a shoulder. I was accustomed to being hated and taunted. I couldn’t easily accept someone’s kindness. Especially a girl part of the clique that trie

Kade POVShe stared at me, digesting my revelation. It didn’t make sense to me either, but I knew Gabbie inside out. It was her scent that drew me to her, I wouldn’t mistake it for anything. I knew Alex was fond of her scent, too. It was a matter of time before he thought the same.“I don’t understand.”“Neither do I,” I replied.“Then why did you say that?”“Because it’s true. Both scenes reek of your scent.”Heat rushed to her face. She moved away from me and stopped safely by the bed. She ran her fingers through her strawberry-blonde hair. I hated coconuts, but that was her natural scent. I didn’t like strawberries, but they would permanently remind me of the love of my life.“I wasn’t there except for that one time, I swear.”“This doesn’t look good. Now, when I tell you to keep away from the scenes, will you listen?”I might have fuelled her curiosity by telling her this. She nodded, but I knew better than to believe her. My mate had a skill for getting herself into trouble.“The

Gabbie POV“Kade?” I asked as he dragged me along the hall of the Alpha castle. “Slow down.”I stumbled, but Kade didn’t stop. He only paused to jam his key into the hole and drag me inside.“Sorry, but things are complicated. I have to start training, and my opponents for Alpha will turn up soon.”“Alpha King?”“No, Babe, for Alpha of Sanders pack.”“You have to fight for that too!”He took my hands and tugged me close. I snuggled into him.“I do if there are any challengers.”“Do you think there will be any?” I asked.“Baxter might but he’s too cocky I’m not worried about him.”“I’m worried about this monster wolf and… it smelling like me. Kade, what if it comes back and someone notices?”He rubbed the back of his head. He opened his mouth to speak, but he closed it.“What?” I probed.“Gabbie.”I planted my hand on my hip and glared at him.“Alex knows. I don’t like that he knows your scent. He knows I set the field on fire.”“You did!”“I had to! I couldn’t risk someone else puttin
