All Chapters of The Omega and Her Three Wolves   : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Jessa POV“Oof, I know, baby,” I said, rubbing the spot where my son had decided to play drums on my ribs. “I’m eager for you to come out, too, but it’s not time yet. We have to be patient.”The kicking stopped, almost as though the baby understood my words. I settled more deeply into the couch, stretching my arms over my head.The last three months since I’d defeated Vampire had been peaceful. The most peaceful time I’d ever known in my life. My relationship with my mates had never been stronger, and the sex… it was amazing. Sometimes, when I thought back to how worried I’d been about my first time, I shook my head. If I’d known what it was truly like, I would never have been nervous. The four of us no longer stayed solely in Jarek’s house, instead moving around as we needed, according to whose pack needed them the most.Currently, Jarek was renovating his place, converting the attic to one giant bedroom the four of us could share. Though we did move around some, it was still the mos

Ruby POVA chill stole down my spine. I shoved my phone back into my pocket and turned. Ali Reid strode toward me, Kristina Watson and Sara Atwell flanking her as usual. My shoulders rounded inward automatically. Most of the pack just sort of forgot about me once I was out of high school, but these three? Mentally, they never left high school. They’d all been part of Alpha Kurt’s pack, same as me.“I thought you left town,” Ali said, widening her eyes as though confused by my presence. “I’d heard you’d gotten knocked up by some druggie from the city and went to live with him.”“Excuse me,” I whispered. My head went down, and I crossed the street as the three women burst into laughter. To my chagrin, they followed after me.This was the last thing I wanted to deal with today! Not for the first time, I wished I could be as brash and rude out loud as I was in my head.The problem was, every time I tried to stand up for myself, my tongue would trip me up, and I’d end up just embarrassing

Joe POV I narrowed my eyes, trying to get a read on her. “You want me to go find Ruby, then?”“I want to know where she’s living and if she’s okay,” Jessa answered stubbornly.Ruby Violet was one of those Omegas I never paid much attention to, except when something dramatic happened. She was a few years younger than I was, but even so, I still heard all the rumors about her in high school. Like how she had snuck into Kurt’s bedroom the night after he became the Alpha and then set about trying to blackmail him afterward. Her name had been scrawled over the bathroom walls in a curly script reading, ‘Call me for a good time’ along with her phone number. Kurt always denied sleeping with her, but I’d heard plenty of the others talk about how good she was in bed.If I were honest with myself—something I was trying to make an effort on—then I would have to admit she intrigued me. I could always pick her out of a crowd with her reddish-brown hair that curled around her like a cloud. I found

Jessa POV I was frozen to the spot, unable to even open my mouth to scream or beg for my life. It laughed, a hissing sound that made the short hairs on my arms stand on end. It stepped forward, reaching out its clawed hand. As soon as it touched me, pain ripped through my body. I twisted away, screaming with pain. It laughed louder, grabbing my arms. Its hold burned like the deepest frostbite.No, no, no! I wasn’t going to go out like this.I was dead. That much I knew. It was going to kill me, and I wasn’t strong enough to fight it off. It was going to drain me, consume me, and it was going to be slow. It was going to be painful. But I wasn’t going to go down without a fight. I screamed again as I lashed out with my feet. They connected with the spirit’s chest, shoving it backward. Its claws tore through my arms as it stumbled backward.My hands closed on a fallen branch. I staggered to my feet, shaking with pain and cold as I gripped the branch. The spirit’s tail moved faster, its

Ruby POVMy calves felt like rocks, and my shins had spikes of pain running up and down them, so I slid down the tree and collapsed in a heap on the damp earth. The night was still too warm. Even though I was by this time soaked in sweat, there was no relief from it. I shrugged off my heavy pack and rooted inside for my water bottle.I probably should have brought more water. I was almost out after only a few hours, and I wasn’t sure where I could find more. Maybe this whole venture wasn’t as well thought-out as I’d hoped.“Where are you heading, anyway?” asked a deep male voice.I jumped, though it shouldn’t surprise me that the Alphas had decided to shift back to human form. With one hand protectively on my pack, I pushed myself back to my feet. One of them flicked on a flashlight—my flashlight, probably retrieved when I had dropped it—and handed it to me. I shone the light directly into his face, hoping to make him angry enough to leave. He shielded his eyes and squinted at me. It
