Page 30 of Omega for the Pack

He suddenly stopped talking. Looking away from me.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

All the men were on alert, waiting for what he’d say next. It was quiet for a few minutes, and my heart was racing from the tension in the air.

Why was he acting like this? Was sex with me that bad?

All my insecurities were starting to surface.

“I don’t know if it’s the right time to tell you this. But you need to know, and I can’t keep going on like this,” he said, looking down at our privates connected with his knot.

“Not now, Grant,” warned Wesley.

“I don’t care, tell me,” I said, adrenaline going through me. I was scared and nervous about what he was going to say.

“I’m not taking you home, and you’re not going to be the omega of our pack,” he said.

“Wait, wait, wait,” I said. “Slow down a minute. You’re not taking me home, so where are you taking me?”

“To Howl’s Edge Island,” he said.

“Why are you taking me there if you don’t want me to be with you?” I said, trying to think logically before I let my emotions take over. “Why not just take me back home?”

“I made a deal with another pack. They want you, and I will drop you off to them,” he said.

Rejection shot through me like a knife. My chest began to hurt with his admission.

Why was he telling me at the worst time?While he was still inside of me?I could see Tony shaking his head in disappointment with Grant.

“Why?” I said, tears welling in my eyes. “Why would you do that to me?”

“It has to be done. I’m only telling you so you can protect your heart,” he said coldly.

“You’re a damn asshole,” I said. “You all are!”

I looked over at the others. Their heads were bowed. No one had the nerve to even look at me. I felt duped and ashamed. Why did they have sex with me? Why did Grant come into the bathroom and finger me?

I tried to pull away from his knot, but it locked me in place. I wanted to be anywhere else but here.

I wanted out.

As soon asGrant’s knot released me, I slapped him in the face as white-hot rage coursed through me. As I lay there, knotted up, I waited until it released me.

He blinked, startled.

“Why do you look so surprised?” I shouted. I grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around my naked body. “You’re here trading me off like it’s a normal thing. Like I don’t matter at all. Like I don’t have a family. How could you?!”

“Listen, I’m sorry,” said Grant, reaching for me, but I quickly stepped away from him.

I walked to the corner of the boat next to a bunch of barrels - wrapping the blanket around me as I sat there away from them all. I stared out at the waters, unable to believe what just happened. A swirl of pain went through my belly, but I didn’tcare now. I’d rather die than sleep with Grant and his men ever again. I hoped to god I wasn’t pregnant either, or else that would be a disaster for sure.

I could see Tony staring at me a few feet away, harshly whispering to Grant. Wesley’s eyes were downcast as he shook his head in disappointment at Grant. None of them were happy with his decision.

The ocean was dark, and a sliver of fear coursed through me, thinking the boat could topple over at any time. I groaned as the heat within my body worsened, needing another knot. I didn’t care. I needed to ignore it as much as possible.

“Tiana?” said Tony, coming near me. I kept my eyes on the water, ignoring his hulking presence. “I know you’re in pain. Let me help you, baby.”

Tears pricked my eyes as my stomach contracted again.
