Page 97 of Knot So Broken

But I long to join my brother in becoming feral. To let go and allow the primal side of me to take over. I know that I’m only holding on by a thread.

Kennedy whimpers, her knees threatening to collapse under her.

Ronan just chuckles as he wraps an arm around her waist, pulling her back so her entire body is pressed against his.

I feel another string of my control break. No other Alpha should be allowed to touch her.

She is mine.My Omega.

“Wrong. We are the ones that have her. The ones that have dissolved her bonds with you filth.” He spits the last words as he forcefully turns Kennedy's head, showing her now bare throat.

I feel as though my world comes crashing down around me. I didn’t think this situation could get any worse than it already was.

“No,” my voice is a broken whisper.

Ronan chuckles, the sound making my skin crawl, “Yes. Once my mark settles on her neck, it’ll be official.”

My eyes follow the spot his hands travel over her bare neck.

“You can’t have her.”

Ledger's voice holds no space for play. Like me, the time for being rationality is gone. Yet the Mullen pack seem to think his words are funny as the cold room is filled with the sound of their amusement.

“Well if that's the case, if we can’t have her, neither can you.” His eyes darken as he wrenches her head back, his grip tightening on the weapon as his finger moves to the trigger.

An explosion rocks the building before Ronan is able to take my girl from this world.

Each of the Alphas loses their balance.

My gaze collides with Kennedy. Her smile is now vicious. Pulling her head forward, she slams it back in a quick succession, only heightening the dissociation of the piece of shit holding her as her head slamsinto his. He roars as he lets her go, allowing her to make a break for the barred door. I trip over my feet as I rush towards her, wrenching open the door, snapping the useless lock.

I don’t waste a single second as I reach out for Kennedy who meets me halfway, jumping up and wrapping her arms and legs around my body.

Turning, I don’t waste a single second in getting out of there.

Our number one priority is Kennedy’s safety and I refuse to stick around even though it kills me that I might not get my hands on the motherfuckers.

If what Jaiden says is true and he is in fact on our team, I know the boys will sort out the Mullen pack in no time.

I just hope they keep at least one of them alive for me to question.

Chapter Thirty Five

Idon’t let go of Theo. I don’t look up from where my head is nuzzled in his neck. Not even when I can feel him loading us into a car. He wraps the seat belt around both of us before wrapping his arms around me.

I feel like I can finally breathe properly.

Seeing my Alphas come down the stairs gave me the most immense relief. While I had hoped and prayed that Jaiden wasn’t lying to me, it was impossible to not have doubts.

After the first sounds of gunfire, the Mullen pack raced down the stairs and made their way into my cage.

A final needle was injected into my neck. I wanted to spit the fury I felt in my chest but I held back. I had to play the numb Omega. I had to keep up the game even though it went against my instincts.

My skin felt itchy as whatever drug they injected into me made its way into my bloodstream.

The sound of Theo’s voice cracking broke a vital piece of me. It felt near impossible to keep control of my emotions. I felt my knees go as a whimper of heartbreak escaped me.

Yet, all of that feels like a distant memory even though it was only moments ago.
