Page 15 of The Omega Archives: Part Three

We nearly made it back out without any problem, until we stepped back out into the hall leading out of the main building.

“Just going to walk out with introducing us to your new friend, Lidy?” A voice called out.

The small group I noticed at the table before caught up with us far too fast.

Did they run to reach us in time? I almost wanted to snort a laugh.

I did.

Lidya’s eyes widened as I did nothing to hide it before looking back at the four omegas standing in front of us.

One smeared. “Is she laughing at us?”

“Probably can smell desperation from here,” said Lidya. “We are heading back to our dorm to be around polite omega company we cannot find here. Have a nice night.”

We tried to turn around as if we didn’t have a care in the world. But really, who thought that was going to work?

“Don’t run too fast with the elderly omega!”

“Ignore them,” murmured Lidya.

I was trying.

Butdamn, they were annoying.

And I was back to swearing again. Which made me think of Cal again. Would I ever see Cal? Would I ever hear his terrible sense of humor and language that boarded the crude ever again?

I bit the inside of my lip.

“Aw, I think we made the new girl cry.”

“Give it up, Sophie,” Lidya said with a roll of her eyes. “We’re tired and I thought by now you would be done with all this intimidation crap.”

“You find me intimidating?” The blond omega, Sophie, asked with a smirk. “I heard they pulled you out of a gutter somewhere and now you are here for some reason.”

“You don’t have to answer that,” suggested Lidya.

I wasn’t going to.

“I also heard that you were taken by a pack and they used you until services found you. Is that true? Probably some gross, dirty, lowly alphas rutting you like some kind of streetwalker.”

These girls were ridiculous. And I thought some of the college students were bad when they were drunk. This felt like something out of one of the romance novels I read. Far too dramatic and unrealistic, until now.

Unless… this place must’ve been so boring.

I knew all this, but I couldn’t stop myself. “My pack is one of the best set of males you’d ever meet.”

There was a pause at my omission. It didn’t last long.

They all shrieked with laughter. “Another trash omega then used up and thrown to the side, then. You almost knew how that was, didn’t you Lidy?”

Lidya’s pale face took on a bright pink color as she clenched her jaw. “Don’t you dare talk about me or my pack like that.”

“Right. We’ll just leave you alone in the garbage now until you can tell everyone you act all purebred as an academy and college graduate like some beta.”

Taking a deep breath, I watched as Lidya’s shoulders fell away from her ears, her body relaxing. “You can think what you want Sophie. All I know is that I had two very handsome alphas servicing my heat and now my every whim and you are still along after two courting seasons. Those alphas must’ve smelled something bad when they looked at you.”

Now it was Sophie’s turn for her face clench.
