Page 19 of Their Perfect Omega

I needed to get her in the car. I needed to-

“Get off of her,” Alvaro barked, grabbing me by my shoulder and attempting to pull me away.

I ripped my lips from hers, turning my head and baring my teeth. “Mine.” All of the anger and sadness I’d felt over the past three years were poured into that one word.

Alvaro backed up a step, his fists clenching at his sides and his teeth bared. He was pissed, but so was I.

“She’s no one’s.” His chin dropped so I would be forced to look him straight in the eyes. “Get away from her.”

His bark was more powerful than I’d heard it in a long time, and it sent a tremble through me, forcing me to let her legs fall from around my waist. I tried with all my might to stay close to her, but I was a mess and that was no match for Alvaro’s command.

I backed away slowly, my fingers brushing her cheek before Alvaro shoved between us, putting a finger right in the middle of my chest. “Are you fucking crazy?”

I growled, not liking that he was protecting her from me. “It doesn’t matter. We were just kissing.”

“Just kissing? Just kissing!” He stabbed his finger into me several times. “We’re all unbonded and she’s not even supposed to be here! You werekissingher, Avery. Do you have any clue what could have happened if I hadn’t been the one to catch you tongue fucking her mouth?”

Cal and Tate walked out of the vet clinic, paperwork in hand. Their frowns deepened when they saw us. Now I was going to have to listen to all three of them berate me.

I threw my hands up in surrender and backed up. “Fuck it.”

“What’s going on?” Cal looked past Alvaro. “Why’s the omega crying?”

“Avery had his tongue down her throat and was dry humping her against the car.” Alvaro didn’t take his eyes off me. “You lost control.”

“Please don’t fight because of me. Just take me home. I’ll sleep in my car.” Despite her tears, she spoke in a strong, clear voice.

I didn’t deserve her. None of us did. Not that we could even entertain the thought of it. Fuck. I was such an idiot for letting my instincts take over.

“You aren’t sleeping in your car.” Tate went to her and wrapped a comforting arm around her.

I growled.

Alvaro growled.

Kara whimpered.

This was going to escalate to the point of no return. I could feel it in my bones... and in our pack bond. “Is Gizzy going to be okay?”

“He should be. They’re going to call us this afternoon.” Cal ran his fingers through his blond hair.

I took the keys out of my pocket and threw them to Cal.“I’ll walk home.”I turned my back on my pack and walked away from them.

No one stopped me.

CHAPTERNINE

Cal

My entire chest hurt as Tate drove the SUV with me and Kara home. I was in no state to drive us after Avery had turned his back on us like that.

Was this it? Was this omega sniffling quietly in the backseat going to push us all over the edge we’d been teetering on for years?

It was hard to watch our bond fall apart. It had been strong since the day we’d met. A brotherhood and love like I’d never experienced in my life. To know it could be gone tomorrow was a slap in the face of how hard we’d worked to get to where we were both as musicians and as a pack.

“Everything is going to be okay.” Tate looked over at me as we got closer and closer to home.

I nodded and looked out the passenger window. We hadn’t even seen Avery walking along the sidewalk.Washe coming home? What if he took off and we never saw him again?
