I was weak. Barely able to focus.
He…
He was going to dark bond me.
After everything… the experiments… after being too broken for even them—this was how it ended.
I tried to draw up my rage, my fear, my strength, but at last, I was empty.
This was it.
Holden shoved me away, sending me sprawling. “Why don’t you run, omega. Make this fun.”
I knew I shouldn’t. Knew it would only give him the satisfaction.
But I did.
I launched across the room, desperately trying to dodge Wyatt, the first alpha in my way, and I knew I must look like a pathetic, feral animal, as I did.
I didn’t get far before a pain ripped through my scalp and I heard one of them cackle.
This was it.
And I had nothing left in me. I’d fought, but it hadn’t been enough.
Only, before the teeth sank into my neck, the alpha halted.
New auras burst into the room, and it was the first time in my life I’d seen Vandle, Phantom, and Karma.
SIN - PRESENT
They’d chained me to one of the beds in the Wakefield’s pack cell, and I knew they were going to force me to watch them hurt her.
I tore against the cuffs, and the sound of them clanging against the metal bars of the bed was deafening.
The world was fading around me, crimson seeping into my vision as they put their hands onmyomega.
I didn’t want this designation—I wanted one that would protect her.
I was all wrong, chewed up by protective instincts with no way to follow through with them. If I was supposed to care this much, why was I an omega?
She was the whole fucking world—she had been since the moment I'd seen her come through those doors.
Not just an omega.
Myomega.
I had two pillars where there had once been one.
My pack—the place I was safe. The alphas I was supposed to protect. And her—the most precious creature on the planet.
The universe narrowed around them, two focal points, spears jammed into the centre of my heart.
She was mine. And that meant no alpha should touch her—not unless I allowed it.
“Last chance, you little slut, you get to choose. Are you going to trade places with him?” The words were like poison, seeping through my veins, setting them alight with fury like I’d never felt.
She couldn't breathe through the grip Holden had on her neck, pinning her against the wall, but still, she nodded her head.
