The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

I’m pleading with Winter to reject Max as our mate, I’m confused by Fractions presence but also not. It feels right that he is here, but I don’t understand it. Sometime between pleading with Winter and shouting at the Goddess for help I realise Fraction has gone. I didn’t see him leave, I needed him, and he just left me, I felt somewhat stronger with him by my side. I can feel the flames are getting closer to us, I can’t imagine anything good will happen once they reach us. If Fraction is right and this is just a dream I need to wake up. I’ve fought too hard for my life for it to be taken away because some asshat Alpha decided I was his. Just as I’m about to be consumed by the flames I hear Winter, in a small voice say, “I reject you Max. as my mate and Alpha.” Suddenly the flames around me go down, as if by magic the grass slowly starts to turn green, the once red sky is now breaking apart to show some blue areas. I think we did it, “thank you Winter.”

I wake with a start. The first thing I realise is I’m not in the cage. I’m not sure where I am. Wherever it is, it smells good. Like white. chocolate and freshly made books, I turn to my right and see a set of black drawers with a lamp on it. The wooden floor is scattered in jeans. and shirts, apparently the person who owns this room doesn’t believe in laundry baskets. The bed I’m in is massive; it could easily fit three or four wolves.

“I’m so glad you’re awake, Anna. I’ve just linked with the doctor, he’s on his way now.” Im startled when I hear that voice, I turn to my left and start to cry.

“Momma Beth?” I can’t believe she’s here.

“Hi sweet girl, you had us all worried for a while there.” A man comes into the room he’s out of breath and carrying a leather satchel. He’s smaller than James but taller than I am, judging from his sterile smell this must be the doctor. He walks to the bed and starts taking things from his bag. Nothing too scary looking, thank Goddess.

“Anna, I’m Doctor Lee, I’m the pack doctor here.” He must be new, the last pack doctor was an elderly woman, “I’m glad to see you awake, although I wasn’t expecting it to be so soon.” He starts taking my temperature, “your temperature has come down and you no longer smell of infection. How’s your neck?”

I slowly reach up and run my fingers over the mating mark, I can’t feel the pain anymore but it’s still very much there. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” I tell the doctor, he carefully turns my head to the side to inspect the mark.

“It seems to be fading, it looks like you and your wolf have successfully rejected the mark.” He starts saying other things, but I block him out. The smell of white chocolate and freshly made books has just become even stronger, I look over to the door and lock my eyes with Fraction. “Mate!” I all but growl out. It’s low and very unlike me. Fraction falls to his knees with tears running down into his beard.

walked into the room. As if all at once the green eyes in my dreams, the wolves running together, the smells I can’t place, all make sense.

you think that of me? I’ve searched for you for almost a year, killed wolves to get you back and locked a foreign Alpha in my cells. I’ve sat by your side for days, neglecting the pack to help you heal. I somehow got dragged into your dream and I helped you reject what was forced upon you. Not once has the thought of mating you even crossed my mind; I just wanted you to wake up and be whole again.” I can see the truth in Fraction’s green eyes, I can also see the pain my words

said.” I cast my eyes down, I’m ashamed of myself. Fraction puts a finger under my chin and brings my eyes to his, “Don’t be sorry Anna.
