Page 101 of Knot So Broken

Seeing our girl without our claiming marks on her skin unravelled all of the work Ledger had done to bring me back to myself.

I know that my pack brothers feel the same as I do.

It's hard to hold onto sanity when you see your Omega in the arms of another Alpha that isn’t a pack mate.

Beside me, Ledger unleashes on Ronan. Blood spurts from his face as punch after punch is rained down on the kidnapping piece of shit.

I don’t feel satisfied yet though. I know I won’t not until I have my Omega in my hands. I need to feel her body against mine. To know that she is real. To know that she will never be taken from me again.

I feel as though I now know a taste of what my fathers went through when they lost my mother.

I don’t know how they are still able to function. How they haven’t succumbed to a feral rampage It felt like all I could feel for days after that first extraction attempt failed was an unrestrained rage.

To be honest, from that last moment to when Ledger brought me out of my head, I don’t recall a single moment.

All I know is the suffering that seemed to consume me.

I can still feel it lingering in my chest as I rub at the spot. There’s only one way to heal from this, and I know it's not being here with the metallic scent of blood and piss.

Looking down at the pitiful excuse in front of me, I raise my lip at him. He cowers expecting me to use the brass rings still curled around my knuckles. It brings a slight tease of satisfaction seeing the way the not-so-mighty fall.

I clear my throat, stopping Ledger from the punch he is about to follow through with. He snaps his head towards mine, his face completely void of emotion. I know he is doing it to protect himself. He has a hard exterior but I know this situation has rattled him more than he would ever let on.

“I’m done.”

Ledger stands up straight as his head returns to the bloodied mess below him. He spits on Ronan's face making his jolt back, rattling the chains wrapped around his wrists.

Turning, I make my way to the concrete door to the room beneath the training warehouse. Footsteps sound behind me, letting me know that Ledger isn’t far behind.

Nodding at the guards posted at the door, I continue my way out of the maze of hallways.

It’s the first foolsafe our fathers put in so that if a prisoner does escape, they will have a hell of a time trying to find their way out.

Theo and I have got lost a number of times down here as children, hence why there are now cameras down each passageway.

Coming up the stairs, I find my fathers waiting for us.

“We are going home,” I say to Dad. He nods, slapping me on the back in a half hug.

“What do you want done with them?”

Looking over at Ledger, we communicate silently.

“I want you to keep them alive. Let Jaiden do whatever he needs but other than that, I want you to wait until Kennedy is ready to decide their fate.”

Since their capture and seeing that devilish smile on her face, I just know that my angel will want compensation.

She had a blood thirsty look in her eye. It called to me. It was a look that I have seen in her all along. She just needed it to be coached from her.

It thrills me to think of what she will look like as she seeks her retribution. One I will be standing beside her through.

The scent of my Omega hits me like a ton of bricks as I open the front door to the Manor.

“Fuck,” I growl as my cock instantly stiffens in my bloodied jeans.

“Sh...She's in heat,” Ledger chokes, unable to stop himself from stumbling as her scent affects him.

Raw hunger overcomes me as I take the steps two at a time, rushing towards the nest. Her scent is stronger up here, the smell of her arousal threatening me to my knees. I swallow the lump in my throat as I stand outside of her nest.
