All Chapters of The Omega and Her Three Wolves   : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Jessa's POV Early morning was the best time for me to get my chores done. When the sun was barely peeking over the tall redwoods of the forest around the small town known as Silverwood that was shared among a dozen or so wolf packs, I could get things done without running into too many people. Most shifters who lived here liked to be out all night in the forest, and so slept in late.This morning, though, I sensed someone following me. I had my duffle bag of laundry, heading home after using the laundromat, and I kept hearing snickers behind me. When I turned, there was nobody there. It sent shivers down my spine. Was I going to get jumped again? At twenty-five years old, I shouldn’t be afraid of getting jumped by a bunch of teenagers, but it happened with more regularity than I cared to admit.The other adults, at least, didn’t use physical violence against me. I swallowed hard as I turned again, searching the doorways and alleys closest to me. Still nothing. I sped up, tightening m

Jarek's POV The Wolf Moon was the first full moon of every year. It was always a time of celebration, a time when the chill of winter was at its height but would soon be receding. Though I thought ‘chill of winter’ was rather an overstatement here in this temperate climate. I’d lived far north for much of my life, and the temperatures that caused the wolves here to start donning their sweaters were the same weather that would have me running around in shorts back home.I rolled my shoulders as I arrived at the large town hall. The various packs that lived here were already assembling themselves. The town Elders sat on a long stage at the front of the room, and I quickly took my spot with the other Alphas, sitting next to Alpha Joseph Malcom. He grunted in greeting, a heavy shadow on his face.Joe wasn’t exactly a talkative type. I was glad for his sullen silence as I settled in my chair. All the Alphas were on edge. Not only was this full moon the Wolf Moon, but we were about to come

Jessa POV I wasn’t going to cry. I wasn’t going to cry.My hands clenched, my breathing coming in quick gasps as I fought to control my emotions. I’d come near the dark woods a few times before.The spirits that lived here were twisted, ugly creatures that fed on strong emotion. They scared people just to devour their screams. I’d seen it before, when the spirits in the forest told me about a cruel prank the middle school students had played on an Omega. I’d arrived just in time to see a dark spirit with glowing red eyes start to drag the girl into the dark woods.I’d managed to stop it, but when the girl told her parents what happened, the blame was laid at my feet. How could I have known what was happening, unless I was in league with the spirits? That was the beginning of the end. The town’s treatment of me had only gotten worse from that time.Now, here I was. Everyone, no matter their place in the town, avoided this place. Even the shifters. Even the Alphas! The cold crowded in

Cassian POVJessa Malraux. Big boobs, nice ass, a bit thicker overall than I usually liked them, but still hot when she put any effort into her appearance.I’d thought about fucking her in the past. Thought about seeing how hard she could grip me with those luscious thighs of hers. But she never seemed worth it, not when I knew people would wonder why I was stooping to an Omega like her.So why the fuck was I here, my wolf snarling, my body brimming with aggression at the smell of her blood in the air? Why did I want to find whatever had hurt her and kill it?“Can you see it?” Jessa asked, her voice rising to a high pitch. “Can you?”I ground my teeth, my eyes locked on the vague, shadowy shape within the dark trees. With the eclipse hiding the moon, I could hardly see anything. The shadow could be an animal for all I knew—except for that suffocating energy coming off it. It was a sense I’d felt only once before, when I was in high school and some of the others dared Denric to go into

Denric POVWe came out of the dark woods at a different place than we’d gone in. Somehow, we had managed to get miles off-course, even though we followed our own trail back. There was evil magic in that place, making things all twisted up. How else did it take so long to find Jessa when we’d run in practically the moment she’d disappeared into the trees?I elected to stay in my wolf form as we headed toward town. Jarek carried Jessa in his arms, grunting every so often as he adjusted the way his arms were around her.I hated how fucking jealous I was that she was letting him touch her. With the scent of her blood in the air, I wanted nothing more than to have her in my arms, to be the one comforting her. It was fucking insane how much I wanted it. My lip curled back over my teeth as I forced away that feeling, instead focusing on how unfair this whole situation was. Sure, I’d had the occasional wet dream about Jessa Malraux—okay, maybe more than occasional—but I didn’t want to be boun
