Page 499 of Omega for the Pack

Sure enough, after a couple minutes, the omega walked into clear view, holding a pouch of chicken feed and sprinkling the food on the ground as the chickens gathered around her.

“Her parents could be at home,” I warned when Claws started moving in her direction.

“Her fathers’ boots are gone if you hadn’t noticed,” said Claws. “You have a lot to learn, newbie alpha.”

“Just because I don’t agree with kidnapping doesn’t mean I’m no less than an alpha,” I growled behind his shoulder as he gazed at the omega.

“Better be careful with your words,” muttered Claws darkly. “Or I will need to report you.”

I couldn’t proceed with kidnapping this omega. It wasn’t right.

But suddenly, Claws began to charge towards the omega, sprinting towards her. Before she could even turn to acknowledge him, I gripped the cold metal of my gun.

My heart thumping, I pulled the pistol from the holder and held it up.

Taking aim between his shoulder blades, I pulled the trigger while squeezing one eye shut. Screams rang in the air. Claws’s body flopped onto the ground at her feet in slow motion before me. Or that was what it seemed to me.

“Stay calm!” I yelled at the screaming omega and her frantic mother, who had rushed out with an apron tied around her pudgy middle.

“What’s going on?” screamed the mother, watching me as I tucked the pistol back into the holder of my jeans.

“I suggest you leave the area right away,” I commanded. I lifted the dead body of Claws over my shoulder.Fuck, he weighed a shit ton. My knees nearly buckled from the weight of this horrible alpha. “They are coming for your daughter, and they know where you live.”

“What?!” said the mother in disbelief.

“What do we do, Mom?” I heard Rebecca saying.

I couldn’t listen or engage in conversation with them as I walked to the car while carrying this gigantic alpha on my back. Sweat ran down my back under the hot sun, and his blood was leaving a trail to the car. I had to get the fuck out of here before the omega’s fathers returned home from wherever they were. They would follow the trail, and I needed to drive as far as possible before that happened.

I was going to be in so much fucking trouble. To kill an alpha was punishable by death, except for good reason. But if an alpha killed another alpha, there could be a trial. As I dumped the body into the trunk of the car, I wanted to vomit, seeing his look of permanent shock and blood seeping from his chest. I had never in my life killed another soul before.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

With shaking fingers, I dug into his pockets for the car keys while holding my breath to block the odor of his body. Then I slammed the trunk shut, immediately hopping into the driver’s seat.I had to get out here.That was all I was thinking about. Turning the key into the ignition, I zoomed the fuck out of there and into any random direction on the road.

There was a dead alpha in my trunk from the most notorious breeding camps on Howl’s Edge.

And I had no idea what the hell I was going to do now.

OLIVIA

Oh, this pedicure was lovely.

I relaxed back in the cushioned chair as the beta workers in their trim yellow uniforms massaged my feet in the warm tub of water. The spa was crowded with omegas getting ready for the dance today. I didn’t realize it was a big deal until Julie invited me to come to the spa.

“I’m not feeling so well,” complained Treasure, with her hand on her forehead. I looked over to my right and saw her dainty features twisted in pain.

Uh, uh. She could be nearing heat.

I suddenly felt guilty that I had help with heat suppressant pills while she had none. But there was really nothing I could do about it, even though I wanted to save every omega in here.

“Is it something you ate?” asked her older sister, who was sitting to my left. She had a face mask on and slices of cucumber over her eyes as she relaxed in her chair.

“No,” moaned Treasure, shutting her eyes tight. “The headache just passed. I felt a weakness through my body that I can’t explain.”

“Do you think it’s your heat?” asked Julie.
