Page 122 of Unhinged Omega

silk of hair

curve of breast

arch of throat

sound of breath

beat of heart

scent of heaven

all mine

for now

for this night

even if she only wants me this once

i will keep her safe forever

nuzzle closer

breathe her in

let her scent fill lungs

let her warmth seep into bones

let her presence calm rage

that always burns inside

for first time since birth in hell

i feel something else

i feel quiet

this must be peace

Ipace in my office, unable to shake the image of Raven's face as I locked him in that cell. The betrayal in those blue eyes haunts me with every step, cutting deeper than any blade ever could. My boots scuff against the concrete floor as I wear a path back and forth, back and forth, like a caged animal.

Which is fucking ironic, considering I'm not the one in a cage.

The weight of my decisions sits heavy in my gut, but I keep telling myself it's for the best. Raven's lost his damn mind over some omega he barely even saw. Running off into the wasteland after her would be suicide.

He's always been impulsive, but this is different. This is a whole new level of self-destructive behavior.

And Nikolai...

I glance at the security feed showing his unconscious form slumped against the wall. Those bullets I put in his back weren't enough to kill him. I know better than to think an alpha of his caliber would go down that easy.
