Semua Bab The Quarterback's Omega Mate: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Odessa POV“Don’t go to work today,” Maverick murmured.“Are you going to stay in bed with me?” I whispered into his chest.He formed little circles on my back with his fingers. “I’d love nothing more. Gavin’s locked up in the pack house. Gage gave him one hell of a beating. Which sucks because it means I have to go easy on him.”I swallowed the lump which formed in my throat. Maverick felt me stiffen and pulled me closer.“He won’t get to you, Wildcat. He’s not getting out.”“Have you spoken to him since?” My voice cracked.“I haven’t.”“I want to speak to him.”“What?” He said up instantly. “No, no way. I won’t allow that.”“I understand—”“Do you?”I sighed. “Gavin took something from me when he kidnapped me and when he reappeared. I want to feel brave.”“You’re so fucking brave.” He cupped my cheeks. “You saved my life remember?”I laughed. “What are you on about?”“You bit that wolf’s leg when that group attacked me at the Daisy Den.”“I did not save your life then! Were you even

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 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

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

Odessa POVAfter Ximena’s text, Maverick made me go to the hospital so I wouldn’t miss my appointment. The doctor’s visit left me tired and drowsy. I was late too.“I’m staying,” Maverick said when he parked at Nassgar’s new settlement.“You left Dustin with Sienna,” I yawned.“He’ll be fine,” Maverick said.“I don’t know how long this will take. You go home. I’m the Alpha, I have to do the hard things.”“You’re not alone, Wildcat. Even if we’re not officially mated, I’ll help you run your little pack.”I guess we are little compared to the Daciana Pack.“You’ve done enough by letting us stay.” I leaned in and kissed his cheek. “Tell Dustin I’ll be home soon.”He grabbed my arm. “I can’t imagine how hard it is to be around him when you’ve been told you might not be able to have kids.”I blinked a few times. “Yeah, especially when he looks so much like you.”His brows knitted together. “I’m sorry, my love.”I smiled. “You have nothing to be sorry about. I feel bad for him, especially w
