Page 11 of Claiming Their Omega

Easton just walks away from me, back toward his pick-up. “Seriously?” I yell after him. “You’re just going to order me around and then walk away? What kind of…”

My voice trails off as Easton reaches into the back of the truck bed and pulls something out, then starts walking back toward me. I squint. Is that… it’s a crowbar.

Easton hefts the crowbar up in his hand, like he’s testing the weight. “What are you doing?” I ask.

“I said I can’t let you do this.” Easton gives me a very small smirk. “I didn’t say anything about what I’d do.”

He swings the crowbar right into the front windshield.

I jump in shock, but Easton doesn’t stop. He hits the windshield until it’s completely smashed up, then goes after the other windows, the hood, punctures the tires.

My mouth falls open. Out of all the men I expected to do this, Easton wasn’t on my list. I’d expect something like this from Jesse. Not that he’d actually bother, since he hates me. But if I had to pick who would beat the shit out of someone’s car because they’re angry with them, it would be him. Not Easton.

But after the shock wears off… it feels good.

I grin as Easton keeps at it, and even give a little cheer. He grins at me, winking. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile or wink at me in all the years I’ve known him. He’s always so serious. I didn’t know he had a playful side to him.

I whoop a little louder as Easton goes for the back windshield, and he laughs. I applaud. It’s therapeutic, watching this fancy car that William insisted on renting being destroyed. I just wish it was his fancy little luxury car back in New York.

Even nicer is Easton having my back. I wouldn’t have expected it of him. Not that he’s a bad guy, but I know Jesse hates me and they are pack mates. It’s not like Easton and I were ever close. He’d have every right to just ignore me instead of going out of his way, and especially not to go all-out like this.

It genuinely warms my heart. Makes me feel safe. At least there’s one person who will ruin things for my cheating boyfriend.

“What the fuck?”

I turn, jumping again in surprise, but this time it’s an unpleasant one. William’s back.

“I thought you were going back to the hotel?” I ask as he storms up.

“What are you doing to my car?” William snarls.

My heart leaps up into my throat. He’s angrier than I’ve ever seen him. I didn’t know he could get this angry, actually, and I shrink a little inside even though I stand tall on the outside. I don’t want him to know that he’s intimidated me at all.

Easton looks at the car, then looks at William. His face is deadpan, and I find myself holding back laughter. “Is this some kind of trick question or something?” Easton asks.

I clap my hand over my mouth to smother a snort. I didn’t know he could be funny.

William looks even angrier. “Oh, so you want to be a fucking wise guy?”

I stop laughing, swallowing hard. I’ve never known William to be violent, but he looks ready to throw a punch. I don’t want Easton to get in trouble or get hurt because he was sticking up for me. This could get ugly.

“Do we have a problem?”

I turn, and see Jesse, Cade, and Hendrix all striding up.

Oh boy. Now it’s really a party.

Chapter 4

Grace

It’s Jesse who just spoke.

My heart lurches in my chest as the other three Alphas step up beside Easton, a clear united front. I have to admit it’s pretty attractive, four gorgeous men all stepping up together as a unit. If I didn’t know they were pack mates already, I’d know it in this moment, seeing the way they stand together.

Jesse is glaring at William like the man is worse than the gum under his shoe, and I blink rapidly in surprise. Jesse hates me, but I don’t know what he’d have against William, unless he just hates William by his association with me. Sure, he can probably put two and two together and knows William’s pissed at Easton, but I don’t see why that would automatically make Jesse this angry.

“What’s going on?” Cade asks, his voice a quiet, dark growl.
