Page 48 of Knot So Broken

Yet, I still can’t seem to care. I just need to expel this anger.

Something niggles at my subconscious and I slowly start to calm down. “Alpha.” The voice demands. Instantly, I am pulled back to the present, finding my Omega standing right behind me.

Her face is laced with a panic that sets me on edge. I start looking around for a threat but all I find is her and my two pack mates standing behind her. She gasps, my body tensing even further. She rushes towards me, grabbing my hands and inspecting the split knuckles.

“You're hurt. Fucking hell, Theo!”

My anger dissipates hearing someone so sweet and gentle curse the way she did. She looks up at me, her eyes drawn in something between frustration and anger, which is odd on her soft features.

“Come with me, I need to clean these.”

She turns and begins pulling me behind her. I go willingly. Of course I do. I would follow Kennedy to the ends of the earth. She wouldn’t even need to ask me too. I’m completely lost to her.

Following her into the bathroom, she directs me to sit on the closed toilet. I obey, not wanting to make her any more frustrated than she already is.

She finds the first-aid kit that we have stored away for instances like this. I try to keep the bloodshed to a minimum, but sometimes,it's unavoidable. Especially in my field of work. She pulls out some alcohol wipes and begins to clean the cuts, wincing as she wipes away the blood. I feel the pain but I refuse to wince or show any kind of emotion. All I can focus on is the fact that my Omega is looking after me. It feels as though this moment between us completely alters my brain chemistry.

After all the dreaming I have done, thinking about what it would be like to have an Omega, I never realized just how incredible it would actually be.

None of my dreams have been able to live up to what it's actually like. I hardly even know Kennedy, yet I’m enamoured with her.

This Omega has waltzed into our lives… or more like I stormed into hers, and has instantly become someone I know that I could never live without.

Her expression stays focused as she moves from knuckle to knuckle, cleaning my hands as best as she can.

I can’t help but admire her. I take in the creases between her eyebrows from where she is frowning in annoyance at my stupidity. Her eyes are focused as they narrow in on my flesh. The way her lips are drawn into a pout that seems to go hand in hand with her frown. The freckles speckled over her nose, gives her this edge of innocence, something I know is only a facade considering her sexcapades over the last day.

She is utter perfection. Sculpted by the Gods with me in mind.

I don’t know what I have done right in my life to be gifted such an incredible specimen. All I know is, I don’t plan on taking her for granted. I plan on spoiling her rotten. Providing her with a life that shehas dreamed of. Giving her a love that she deserves. It’s quite quickly become my entire focus.

I think that's why I got so angry.

Now that Kennedy’s hands are on me, I realize the key reason why Alphas need Omegas.

It's for this.

To calm the natural aggression that resides inside of us. To make us see reason. A world without Omegas would be armageddon. I have no doubt about it. She fusses for way too long over me but I don’t dare complain. Having her hands on me is exactly what I need right now.

Each touch of her on me calms me down even more. It feels like I am able to take a breath for the first time since walking into that classroom.

After Kennedy has cleaned as much blood off me that she can, she wraps my hand with gauze, careful not to wrap it too tight.

She doesn’t let go of me, instead she holds them gently in hers.

“Are you okay?”

Her voice is gentle, none of her earlier annoyance visible.

I nod, “I’m okay now that you have your hands on me.”

She blushes as she looks down at where we are joined. I watch as she tries to mentally bat the embarrassment away, the notion is cute, but futile.

She shakes her head, “I know there's more to it than that, Theo.”

I sigh as I too look down at our hands as I think over everything.

“Walking into that room and seeing you being treated the way you were gave me a feeling like I have never felt before. I promised that I would look after you. That I would protect you. Yet, in the span of hours, I had already failed you.”
