All Chapters of The Quarterback's Omega Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Odessa POVI took the bus to meet Ryder at the local park. He was waiting for me when I arrived. He had the envelope with him.I nibbled on my bottom lip.“Hi,” I said nervously.Ryder’s features were dark and stiff.There was no beating around the bush with him this time.“Ready?”“As I’ll ever be,” I said.He ripped the envelope open and pulled out the piece of paper. I bit down on my nails as Ryder read the results.My vision blurred, and my legs felt like jelly.Ryder put the envelope and piece of paper down and exhaled deeply.“Well, we’re not siblings.”My heart shattered, and the fragments sank to my stomach.“We’re not?”He shook his head.“We’re first cousins.” A small smile spread on his face.I placed a hand over my heart that suddenly came back to life.“I knew it,” Ryder beamed.“Oh my gosh, so who are your father’s siblings?”Ryder rubbed his hands and stared at the grass as if it were the most interesting thing in the world.“That’s the thing. He doesn’t have any siblin

Odessa POV“I’m Kevin Topaz, the official communication officer of the Daciana Pack council. You and Alpha Maverick are requested to be in front of the council right now.”“You know that’s impossible. He’s not going to leave the game.”Kevin nodded. “I do. You have to convince him to be at the meeting. Everyone’s there already.”“Is it so important?”Kevin nodded. “Get him there after the game. Everyone else will have to wait for him.”Kevin left after delivering his message.“Crap,” I muttered.I hurried inside the stadium. I made it to the VIP area just as the players took to the field.Evyn and I got to our feet at once to cheer them on.Captain Maverick led the team. The stadium lights gleam on him like a spotlight on the stage. It could be because I only have eyes for him.The referee blew his whistle and set the game into motion. The crowd erupted into applause and chants. The ground beneath my feet trembled, and it was incredible!“I don’t think I can watch more of this,” Evyn

Odessa POVI watched Maverick stoke the fire in the fireplace as the bitter winter wind blew outside.I snuggled beneath the blanket. Maverick returned to sit next to me. He dragged my leg over his thigh and exhaled.“My Luna.”“My Alpha,” I giggled. “It feels so weird to hear.”“You have to get used to it, Wildcat. This pack is just as much yours as it is mine.”“I wish someone held classes for incoming Lunas.”He chuckled. “You’re perfect, forget about everything else.”He leaned forward and kissed my forehead.“The pack doctor said Gage’s awake. He left as soon as he could. The bastard doesn’t think anything’s wrong with him.”I looked up at Mav’s worried face. “What did the doctor say?”“He took some blood samples. He’s taking them to Rex. He’ll get back to us in a few days. Speaking of Rex, I want us to go see him, too.”“Us? Why do we need to see him?”He pressed his lips together before he responded. “Because there’s something I found out about you. I’ve been putting this off,

Odessa POV“Here you go, Odessa. A special blend for a special girl,” the bartender said, handing me something pink and glittery.I didn’t know this many people knew my name. For the first time, instead of scowls, gags and laughter, I was greeted with warmth and attention. Thanks to Maverick and nothing I did, but it was nice to feel welcomed.“Are you flirting with my mate, Luke?” Mav asked, taking a firm shot on the pool table.Luke, the bartender, smirked. “Wouldn’t dream about it, cap. Now we know your lucky charm.”Mav looked at me and grinned. Heat spread across my cheeks. I looked away. Seconds later, he wrapped his arms around me.“You are my lucky charm, Wildcat.”He picked up the straw and sipped my perfect pink bomb. It tasted like cherry shaved ice with a kick of vodka and a hint of strawberry.“Hey!”“Are you trying to get my girlfriend drunk?” Mav barked at Luke.Luke raised his hands and returned to serving the other people at the beach bar.We were a few feet away from

Odessa POVMy head was pounding and my mouth was dry. How could it not be with Maverick’s heated glare on me every second? I know he’s not mad at me. He’s furious with the situation.“Are you sure you don’t feel weird or pain?” Rex asked.“No, other than the pain from the needle you stuck in my arm, plus the massive headache.”Maverick growled, and Rex smiled sheepishly.I never would have thought the Daciana pack would have such high technology hidden in their beta army base. Not all wolf packs rely on brute strength and force.“I know someone carried me, Maverick. It could have been a good Samaritan,” I said.He crossed his arms. “My wolf doesn’t think so.”“She was unharmed when I found her. All she smelled like was alcohol,” Gage said.“Could have been something in her drink. Not all drugs have a scent. Makes it tricky even for wolves to detect. If they didn’t do anything to her, then why drug her in the first place? Wolves are weird,” Rex said.I rubbed my arms and agreed. Very w
