Page 166 of Omega for the Pack

“The Shadow Wolf will do as I command when he realizes how loyal I am,” said Voss. "You are the bait to draw him back in."

“I’m sure your little brother wouldn’t be happy with this,” I said.

Voss paused and touched my knee.

“He would be more than happy,” he replied. “We didn’t like the system and how everything was running with the Royal Pack running the island for years, especially when our best friends were sigma brothers who felt the same. The Great Moon Revolt was the greatest thing to happen on Howl’s Edge. We will continue the revolt and win with the strength of the Shadow Wolf.”

I had to keep him talking and maybe convince him to let me go. I couldn’t sit here as bait and wait for my death.

“Why not get someone else?”

“I have to attack the Royal Pack where it hurts the most.”

“It’s not going to change anything,” I said.

“That’s it,” he said, rubbing the dust from his hands and looking at the handiwork of chains tying my legs together. Then he looked at me with a devious glint in his eyes. “I think I should enjoy you a little before I go.”

“What are you doing?” I asked, panicking as he knelt closer to me, bringing his mouth to my neck. He started kissing me on my neck and cupping my breasts in his hands. The smell of his cologne made me want to throw up. But the alpha energy that radiated from him pulled to the omega inside me.

I shut my eyes, resisting his pull. The invisible alpha pull was willing me to obey and relax.

“Mhm, you taste so good,” he whispered, his mouth still on my neck. Then his teeth pierced my skin, and I screamed.

“No,” I whimpered. “Why did you mark me?”

I felt my body stirring, awakening.

This alpha wanted me for his carnal pleasure. I felt blood trickle down my neck as he sucked. My skin was on fire, and my stomach clenched over and over in pain. My privates were throbbing with a need for relief that only an alpha could relieve.

I was going into heat, and he was triggering it.

“It’s okay. You’re going to die anyway,” he said. “We wouldn’t be mated for too long.”

He smelled the air as if he enjoyed my omega scent, thickening all around us. He continued licking my neck and bit me again on my collarbone.

I screamed again, tears running down my face.

“Stop, please,” I begged. “Just let the Shadow Wolf take me.”

“But you taste so delicious,” he said. I tried to headbutt him, but that made him angrier when he nicked me on the neck again on the same spot, deepening my wound. If he knotted me, it would seal our mating bond. I would be tied to him forever until one of us died.

A roar sounded at the entrance of the cave.

Voss removed his hold on me, and I looked up as tears blurred my vision.

My stomach dropped with dread when I saw the Shadow Wolf blocking the entrance. His hairy body filled the cave's space, water dripping from his brown fur coat. He charged toward us, and Voss jumped out of the way.

I was lying on my back on the wet cave floor, my legs tightly bound. My hands were free as I tried to crawl on my hands away from the werewolf, heart pounding wildly.

The pulse in my ears roared with my need to escape.

“There she is,” said Voss, waving in my direction. “I’ve brought you another omega, Shadow, as I do every year. I made sure this one didn’t get away.”

The werewolf stopped in front of me, sniffing my legs. Then he turned towards Voss and growled, stalking him instead. My mouth dropped open in shock.

“Thank god,” I breathed, watching as the werewolf charged after Voss and pinned him to the floor. It all happened in a split second when I saw the glint of a silver knife as Voss stabbed the werewolf in the chest. The Shadow Wolf howled, throwing his head back in pain.

He opened his mouth to chomp off Voss’s head.
