Page 5 of Tangled in Knots

The four of us are ignoring the pissed off omega, especially as the big car is shaken and picked up off the ground, as the house explodes. A tree branch bounces off the roof of the car, making my lips twitch in amusement. Kane is such a crazy fucker.

“Oh shit,” Jed mutters, though he doesn’t flinch.

“It wasn’t even close enough to be an issue.” Kane shrugs. “I would say I’m sorry about your house, but I’m really not, little omega.”

“I have a name,” Adira screams at him. There’s a hint of tears in her voice, but I can hear the gritting of her teeth.

“Maybe, I don’t feel like using it though. Why do you run so fast, little rabbit? There are so many delicious things I can think of doing to you, when I think about how hard your little legs ran,” Kane purrs.

Crazy fucker. I can think of our chase going differently, the omega running until her lungs were about to burst, and then pouncing and fucking her into the ground, instead of just catching her. Fuck, I bet her pussy would slick, and she’d taste real sweet…

What am I doing?

I never daydream over fucking anyone, and I’ve never been with an omega. Jed and Kane enjoy fucking betas, including Morris.

Our beta sneezes, making me realize that I’m pumping out serious cedar scented alpha pheromones. The omega makes a noise, but I ignore her yet again as I adjust my dick in the middle seat.

Maybe I’m just too close to her, but I swear her scent turns just a little sweeter.

“Cool it over there, little brother,” Kane teases me. “I can see your knot from over here. Do you need to play with the little rabbit to help ease your pain?”

I swear I can feel the shiver behind me. What the fuck is happening? The sooner we get rid of this troublesome omega, the better.

“I wouldn’t touch her with your dick,” I deny, my stomach bottoming out at the lie. I don’t care what anyone thinks of me typically, except for my pack. They’re the only ones who matter.

“Let’s just get to the auction house, so we can drop her off with Ophelia. I’m sure there are things she needs to do with an evil little omega.”

“I’m not evil,” Adira snarls. Glancing over my shoulder at the girl whose wrists are tied to her ankles, I can admit how tiny she looks right now. Vulnerable even.

Should I get her out of the trunk?

“Your father was a piece of shit,” Kane says calmly, pulling out a black matte dagger. Slowly, he begins to flip the handle to tip over and over, faster and faster each time.

This is something he does to burn off steam and energy, so he’s probably running on an adrenaline high. My middle brother is an adrenaline junkie, it’s the only thing that makes him feel alive.

He can pretend otherwise, but doesn’t want to. Kane is one of the most genuine psychopaths you’ll ever meet.

“God, he really was,” Jed pipes up, hiking up a huge black boot on the dash. Morris side eyes him, but doesn’t say a word, because getting your mouth stuffed full of cock by your alpha isn’t conducive to driving. Kane and Jed enjoy dominating our beta, but it’s not my thing.

Again, sex isn’t something I typically enjoy, so why is my cock rock hard? Biology. That’s all. I may not be able to control it, but I can ignore it.

Turning away fully from the omega glaring at me from the floor of the trunk, I ignore the shiver she gives as well. It’s cold as fuck and refusing to warm up any time soon in here, even with the heater on.

Thank god for heated seats throughout the SUV, too bad she won’t be experiencing it.

“Jeremiah never cared about anything except for making money or stealing it,” I agree, refusing to acknowledge the growl behind me. If she wasn’t completely tied up, I’d worry that she’d try to strangle me. “He was not only a criminal, but a liar and a crook to our father.”

I don’t know why I’m giving Adira these small tidbits of information. I’ll look closer at it when I’m on the shooting range, where it’s just me and my thoughts.

My brothers and Morris know me too well, and I don’t want them poking areas of my mind that I don’t fully understand yet. I’m furiously blocking the bond with my oldest brother as well, so he won’t pick up anything. We’re a pack in every way possible, even without an omega.

It’s not something you see often, but we wanted to make certain we’d always be able to communicate with each other.

“I would have a hard time believing any of this, but there’s no way he would allow this to happen unless he was dead,” the little omega says softly.

“Pshh. The coward cried for mercy at the end.” Kane snorts. A part of me doesn’t want to dismantle whatever good memories she had with Jeremiah, while the other wants to throw her into the full light of his mistakes.

“Where are you taking me?” Adira asks so softly I have to strain to listen to her. She sounds as if she’s trying to gulp air right now and I stare resolutely at the back of Jed’s head as if it’s my job.
