Liam Valor did it for Lucy, but what were the chances there were two legacy alphas out there like that?

As an omega, I would have to bond someone with red eyes. Someone who could give me the power and strength I needed to rule the Lopez pack, and even that wouldn’t be enough.

My pack was already ripping itself to pieces with me as the heir while presenting as an alpha. If they found out I was some weird defect…

I dropped my head against the cool tile, knowing what Leo would say about all this.

Killing all the troublemakers in my pack wasn’t a real solution. Not in this day and age. They had to commit a crime and I had to have the evidence for it before they could be disposed of in one way or another.

That was how the world worked.

I couldn’t just squash them like bugs no matter how badly I wanted to.

If I wanted to take control of the pack on my own and make my father proud, I needed the strength and power of my alpha pheromones.

Grabbing the soap, I scrubbed down until my skin was red and sensitive but there wasn’t a single scent clinging to it other than the pheromone erasing soap.

I sighed and shut off the water.

Yeah, I’d ruined any chance of happiness I might have but what else was I supposed to do when everything about me was a disappointment? I was never going to be a real alpha, but I couldn’t be an omega either and because of that, I couldn’t have Leo anywhere near me.

I loved him—loved the way he was obsessed with me even when I was an alpha. My designation had never mattered to him and that made all this so much worse because I couldn’t have him.

Maybe if I didn’t switch back to my omega status around him, it would have worked out.

We could have courted an omega together and shared them the same way Cas and Liam shared Lucy, but my body wanted to be what he needed.

My father had offered him a place in his pack because he was a very powerful legacy alpha which meant Leo needed an omega, not me. No matter how many times he told me he didn’t need me to be anything other than what I wanted to be, it didn’t change our reality.

Every time he went into rut, I’d switch back to an omega.

So, I’d done my best to drive him away.

Unfortunately, Leo was the most stubborn person alive and he’d forced me to do the one thing I never wanted to do, just to get him to leave.

Now it seemed like Soren had a similar allure.

I couldn’t risk falling down that hole again. Not when everyone was watching me so closely.

My father publicly named me his heir. I couldn’t disappoint him by beingweak.

So, I would do the same thing to Soren I did to Leo, and hopefully, he wasn’t the stubborn type.

Grabbing a towel, I wrapped it around me as I stepped over my wet clothes and out of the shower.

I really hoped Soren didn’t get any thoughts in his head that this temporary arrangement could be any more than what it was, because the last thing I wanted to do was show him just how cruel and heartless I could be.

Two ruined lives was more than enough.

I didn’t need to add a third.

CHAPTER 12

Soren

Frankie feltlike a completely different person when she came out of the locker room, but I couldn’t put my finger on why exactly. She wasn’t doing anything different, but I could sense an invisible wall between us that hadn’t been there before.

I knew she didn’t like me or want me around, but the way she’d ignored me before had felt almost petty and childish. It wasn’t something she’d been wholeheartedly committed to.
