It was as if no time had passed at all and it felt like I was back in that cafeteria as she looked at me like she’d rather be alone for the rest of her life than have to deal with the inconvenience of sharing her space with me.

“You don’t feel guilty about lying to me at all, do you?”

“I didn’t lie to you.” If looks could kill I’d be dead already, but we both knew I was right.

“You did,” she countered. “Because I may be bad with names, but I know I would have remembered that you’re a Valor.”

“And that’s exactly why I never gave you that name.”

She slapped me then. It was a good one too. My head whipped to the side and everything. I even tasted blood.

I licked my lips, savoring the taste of her violence. Yeah it was fucked up, but I wanted more of it.

Lucy went to slap me again and I caught her wrist before she could, leaning down to give her my best smile, making sure she could see all my teeth. “Is it my death what you want then?”

Placing the knife in her hand, I carefully wrapped her fingers around the hilt, forcing her to take it.

“Make sure to kill me slowly, baby. Blade’s so sharp it can cut through bone. I wanna feel it. Paint this room with my blood. Red is always such a pretty color on you, Lucy.”

I grabbed the front of her shirt and yanked her body against mine, forcing her to look up at me with her head all the way back in the most uncomfortable position I could put her in without actually hurting her.

“It would be so romantic, don’t you think?” Leaning down until we were close enough I could feel her breath on my face, I made sure she could see I was being dead fucking serious about this. “There’s no world that exists where I don’t belong to you. It doesn’t matter if your name is Daphne or Lucy. I’m yours, so do whatever the fuck you want with me. Even if you won’t let me be your alpha…let me at least give you my death.”

I felt her pull away and it was like someone punched me in the gut.

“I don’t want your death, Liam. I just want you to feel the same pain I did.”

That was it?

If she wanted me to suffer, then that’s what I’d do.

As long as she stayed, I could do anything.

CHAPTER 32

Liam

Lucy gently placed the knife back in my hand and dread settled in my stomach.

“You know what hurt the most though? You knew I wouldn’t be able to recognize you and it was excruciating to realize you’ve been using that to your advantage this whole time.” Lucy looked up at me with enough devastation in her eyes to make all my rage falter. “How was I ever supposed to win this game? You know I can’t. It was rigged from the very beginning. So, I wanted to make you understand that you weren’t the only one with power. That is why I took the knife with me. To make you realize you have no control over me.”

Jesus Christ.

I ran my hand over my face and almost laughed when I saw just how badly I was shaking.

An omega was an alpha’s entire reason for existing, and Lucy…I’ve never seen an omega weaponize that the way she did.

Because omegas weren’t just capable of soothing an alpha like no one else, they were also our greatest weakness.

Normally, an omega’s instincts made it nearly impossible for them to harm an alpha, but if they really wanted to, they could destroy us. They could take advantage of our instincts the same way alphas took advantage of theirs.

Clearly, Lucy was aware of that more than most and she lived to torture us.

Grabbing her arm, I yanked her toward me and wrapped my arms around her body until her face was pressed against my chest, her fingers digging into the fabric of my shirt until it was all bunched up in her fists.

There was nothing in the world that could stop me from holding her right now when she needed it so badly.

“You did good, baby. You made a real fucking mess of me and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’m still losing my mind because I can smell your blood and I have no idea where it’s coming from.” I felt the tiniest piece of my humanity return when a broken laugh escaped her, but she sounded so heartbroken it made my chest ache in sympathy and I’d do anything to make her feel better.
