Page 26 of Capturing Their Omega

“No. I don't want her punished. I want to know who she is. I'm interested in her. I want her.” I meet their eyes.

The shock is palpable. Even Henry chokes on the glass of champagne he has been nursing since we arrived. Mr. Kaye is back to messaging his temples while Mrs. Kaye’s eyes are wide with surprise. Her mouth is slightly open. I wonder if I have succeeded in shutting her up.

I am wrong.

“Excuse me?” Mrs. Kaye screeched “You want a maid? You are supposed to be with Leila!”

This woman has it all wrong in her head. I feel the need to make things clear to her.

“That’s not it, Mrs. Kaye. Ask your husband. I came to see if your daughter was compatible with me. To see if I can be with her. That was the arrangement I had with him,” I calmly explain.

Mr. Kaye and Henry mumble in agreement.

“Even before the incident, I had no interest in Leila. I had already decided I wasn't going to be with your daughter,” I say. “What is left is to discuss compensation for wasting your time.”

“No! No! No! You and Leila are to be wed! Leila is meant for you, not some servant girl!” Mrs. Kaye jumps from her seat, her face red with anger.

“Nobody is better than my daughter. You will have her. She is the best. You will have her.” She points at me. Her voice grows louder the longer that she speaks.

She is hysterical. She grabs a vase from the center table and smashes it on the ground.The shatter of glass reverberates around the room.

“You will wed my daughter!” She is panting and glaring at me.

“What the hell is he saying? Why are you letting him run his mouth this way? He is to wed Leila!” She turns to fire words at her husband.

Mr. Kaye also looks angry, albeit more controlled than his wife. I know that many in our circles know about this meeting today. Leila Kaye has a reputation as the best Omega. My rejection will impact the opinion that others have of her value as an Omega.

Mrs. Kaye turns back to me. Her eyes have shifted to her wolf’s eyes, filled with rage and craziness. She keeps shouting and cussing at me.

She lunges forward as if she’ll attack me.“You will not embarrass my family this way!”

I raise a brow. This puny woman is acting out a bit too much. She has forgotten her place.

Playtime is over.I have let this go on longer than I should.

I release my pheromones, blowing them around the room.

The thud of a body on the ground turns my attention to the maid who had been told to clean up the mess outside. She came in the moment I released my pheromones and fell under their influence. Pieces of broken china scatter across the ground again.

My power brings the Kayes to their knees immediately. Mrs. Kaye’s head is bowed in fear. She whimpers like a lost puppy. She is a mated Omega. The scent of an Alpha that is not her own will no longer send her into heat, but into terror instead.

Mr. Kaye struggles under the influence of my pheromones, forced to bow to me in his own home. This is the second time he has felt this power. I almost feel bad for him.

I am only doing this to get them to settle down.

I turn to glance at Henry. He is gripping the arms of his seat. Sweat has gathered on his brow, but he is otherwise unaffected.

“I had hoped I wouldn’t need to remind you of who I am and what I am capable of. I didn’t want it to play out like this. Just because I came to check out your daughter as a prospective mate doesn’t mean we are on the same level,” I snarl at Mrs. Kaye.

She whimpers in response.

I sigh. “This has ended on the wrong note. I will admit to my own fault in this, as I did not mean to bring shame on your family, but you have no right to lash out at me. I have not made any agreement that binds me together with your daughter.” I step toward the door. “Your attitude is equally rude. However, I am a gentleman. I will come back to resolve this at a better time.”

With that, I walk out. Henry follows close behind me.

I might have made an enemy out of the Kayes after all.

I couldn’t say the visit was a failure. I had rejected their daughter, but I had found the perfect Omega for me at their estate.
