Page 29 of Capturing Their Omega

No matter how hard I try, I can’t see her in the same light anymore. I’m trying to be polite, but I feel my anger rolling out in waves.

Even as a recessive Alpha, I still have pheromones that tend to leak out when I feel intense emotions. I can’t help it as they leak out of me now.

Cassie’s mom flinches back at my angry pheromones, unable to bear them. She is an Omega, after all.

I take deep breaths.

In my mind, Cassie is already a part of my family unit. She’s one of the people I protect and care about. I only have her and Eric.

If anything should happen to Cassie, I don’t know what I woulddo. I would be a mess for sure.

Cassie is the sweetest girl I know. I fell in love the day I saw her sacrifice herself to save another kid despite how sick she always was.

I’d been in my shop, smiling as I watched her wait for the crosswalk lights to go green so she could cross the road. A younger kid had dropped something. I don’t know what it was, but I sure hoped it was important with how they ran into the road to get it.

Cassie could have just stood there. She had every excuse. She was probably weaker than that kid. But she had pushed the kid out of the way and almost got run over by a motorcycle.

Thankfully, the rider was a witch who used magic to make Cassie levitate so she wouldn’t get hit. She’d fallen back to the ground,though, and broken her wrist. The witch hadn’t known that Cassie would be so weak.

Luckily, the witch also knew healing magic and although Cassie had passed out, she had fixed her wrist right away. I was never able to keep my eyes off Cassie again from that day onward.

She touches my heart in a way no one else can. It always hurt to see her in so much pain when I knew she would go out of her way to make sure no one else is hurting. I am glad that I’m one of the few people she turns to for help and comfort.

Not a week goes by that I don’t get to see her. She always visits with a smile on her face, even with the pain she endures.

Eric is also enchanted. Cassie brings out the light in him. She makes him smile. And he loves it. Craves it.

He goes all out for her. He protects her and makes her happy.

There is no denying that he is in love with Cassie.

Cassie is such a sweetheart. It is hard not to love her.

That’s what I tell myself. Even if I know it is deeper than that.

I am equally as hopelessly in love with her as my little brother. I want to love her. And I want my brother to love her along with me.

Sharing Cassie with Eric is something I will love.

She will get to have more protection and love if she is with the two of us. She deserves all we have to offer and more.

That’s if she will take us.

Seeing and sensing Eric’s emotions earlier today got me worked up. If anything happens to Cassie, I will not be the only one to hurt. Eric will hurt, too. We will be miserable together.

We can’t afford to lose her. She is our light.

This is why I can’t hold in my anger.

“Let’s not stand around here. Come on in boys.” Cassie’s mom tries to continue smiling at us, but her smile falters.

I frown.

How can this woman be a walking contradiction?

Has she been playing nice all this time just to trick us?

We go into the house. She directs us to the kitchen, where Eric pulls out a stool and sits. I remain standing. I still haven’t said a word to her.
