Semua Bab The Quarterback's Omega Mate: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Odessa POV“Keep your eyes closed,” Maverick said.“Do I have a choice? Your arm’s over my face.”He cackled. “It’s a surprise, sweetheart. I’m not taking any chances.”I’d been in bed all morning. The aches in my bones were still present. The few hours of sleep I had were plagued with nightmares of the dark lake I’d been thrown into and seeing Darius naked.“Okay, stop,” Mav whispered in my ear.My heart hammered hard against my chest.He shielded my eyes while we were in the living room and walked me around in circles before bringing me outside, where I could feel the sun on my shoulders.“Babe? What is this?”“You tell me.”He gently removed his arm from over my face.My heart swelled, and my hands flew to my lips.I stared at the dark grey SUV with a pink ribbon on the hood.“You bought me a car?”He grinned. “It’s all yours?”He dangled a keychain in front of me.“This is more than I could have asked for,” I said, my voice cracking.“You can have whatever you want, Wildcat. I’ll

Maverick POVI noticed the way Odessa clammed up when I mentioned other men in her life. I’d been thinking about her discomfort all day during training.Coach drilled us hard today. It was the last training session before our game the day after tomorrow, then I had a meeting with the council later tonight.However, all that was as important as Odessa.“Cap?” Slider’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts.“What?” I blinked a few times.“Coach won’t take into account how nasty the Silver Serpents play. None of their players gets cautioned either,” Slider added.“There’s been some talk about their buying decisions,” Storm added.“That’s a big accusation. We beat them last time, remember?” I asked.“Barely,” Storm muttered.He was right. They nearly destroyed us in the first half alone.“Don’t worry, guys. We have Gage this time.” I clapped my best friend’s shoulders. “No one’s poisoning him this time.”“Don’t jinx me, Campbell,” he frowned.“We can’t go into the game thinking about rumour

Odessa POV“Odessa, wait!” Evyn yelled.I couldn’t wait. My mate was in there.I ran to the scene. There was broken glass on the tar and on the side of the road.“Maverick!” I called. A few groans came from inside.“When did this happen? They should have been in Jairo County already.”I stepped over the glass and walked to the bus door. It was so dark inside “Hello?” My voice cracked.“Sloane, is that you?” Coach asked, his voice weak.“Yes! Yes, it’s me.”Suddenly, glass shattered. It came from behind the bus.“Everyone out, quickly,” someone ordered.“The door’s jammed, Sloane,” Coach said, his voice pained.“Don’t worry. We’ll get you out. Stay with me, okay?”He chuckled, but it lacked humour. “I’m not going anywhere, trust me.”My mate was still on that bus. Not to mention staff members, the team players and my stepbrother! The players and staff dragged themselves out of the bus. I watched anxiously as each one appeared. Gage, Slider, Ryan and Storm.“O

Odessa POVEvyn’s wolf slithered through the crack at the very last second.We huddled together like two orphaned wolves, unable to move.“Are you sure you saw something, Alto?” Alpha Kai asked.“I saw it and I heard it,” Alto assured.The roar of the stadium audience was louder out here. Evyn got up and walked away, leading me to follow her.“What happened there?” Kai asked.They found the hole. My blood ran cold as I waited for one of them to poke their head through the wall and see two omega wolves standing outside the stadium.“That was Nick and his betas trying to get into the stadium,” Alto replied.Kai growled. “Now, I have to pay to get that fixed. If it was anything, it was a rat. Just plug up that hole until I get someone to fix it.”“Seth, we have a lot to talk about. The accident was a bust. Maverick wasn’t even injured. We need to get closer,” Kai explained.“I think I have a way to get closer to him,” the ghost from my past responded. “Seth still has supporters in the pa

Odessa POV“What about him, Odessa?” Maverick asked.The muscles in my throat thickened and threatened to choke me.Maverick’s warm palm on my thigh eased me. His touch went straight to my soul.“He was Mom’s boyfriend. They were together for three weeks. I don’t want you to see her differently.”“Everyone knows your mother’s reputation, Odessa. I won’t say anything else.”Tears filled my eyes. This had to happen anyway.“I could tell from the start that he was another rat. He had money and gave her everything she wanted. She quit her job and planned to buy a house—”“He made a pass on you, didn’t he?” Maverick finished for me.His temper was on the rise, and he’d start pacing soon.I nodded. “Several times. I told my mother he wasn’t good and she… she told me just to be nice to him and if he hadn’t touched me, everything was fine.”Maverick got up and laughed. He shook his head and paced to the window.My blood ran cold. His bitter laugh created knots in my stomach.“As long as he di
