I want to protest, but then I realise I’m wet. I look down and run my fingers over my damp jeans. I’m soaked with slick.

Hunger has me stumbling after them, intent on getting my tongue in our omega.

Mills grabs my arm and hurls me around.

“What happened?”

I pause, my mind takes a moment to function, and then the same anger burns through me again.

“Anderson told her about her pack. And Bailey. She thinks we’re with her so we can get revenge on him.”

“Mother fucker!” Mills hisses.

“Yeah. It’s bad. She was dead inside. There was no life in her eyes. She said she was sick, but not in denial, more like she’d accepted what she was. Then her heat hit, and I didn’t waste time. I just got her out.”

Mills walks up the stairs and into the house. I follow just behind him.

“We could kill him,” Ianto suggests.

“We can’t do that. She loves him. It’s the same reason the fucker is still alive.”

I humph. “And Bailey.”

“That pain in the ass is begging for a beating,” Ianto hisses.

“He let us go.”

Mills and Ianto turn around and stare at me.

“Okay, nothing we can do about it right now, let's go help our omega.”

I hear a dish shatter and whirl and race inside.

Lia is standing on the stairs, a vase in her hands, glaring at Zaden.

“Lia, you have to eat something. Have a shower. I’m trying to take care of you.”

“I don’t want you to take care of me.”

“WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT?” he roars.

For a moment, I think she’ll open her mouth and say what I need to hear her say, but then she slumps. “I just want to be left alone.”

“Not fucking happening,” Zaden growls. “Not this minute, not tonight, not tomorrow, not ever.”

“I’m not yours!” Lia screams and hurls the vase across the room. It hits the wall and shatters. “If you’d have just left me alone, Nicky would be alive, and Kyle…” she sobs.

Zaden looks like he’s two seconds from exploding, but he stomps up the stairs, not stopping until he’s on the same step she is. He roughly grabs her chin and hauls her face in his direction.

“You gave yourself to me, which means you are mine.”

Lia’s eyes well with tears, and the marshmallow gets stronger. “That was before.”

“I don’t care if it was before. I don’t care if you’ve changed your mind. I’m not letting you go. Now, get your ass up into that bed so we can come up and knot you senseless. Perhaps my Lia will return, and whatever this is will fuck off.”

She shudders, her eyes glaze, and she sways.

“Omega,” Zaden growls again in warning. “If I have to ask you again, I’m going to spank that gorgeous ass of yours pink, and then fuck you until you scream my name.”
