Silver Falls Series: Omega Rising

Search Party

(Ivys POV)

I couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard I tried. I lay on my side, my back to the cell bars. My body was in stitches, and I desperately needed water. I had full on got to the point where I was fantasizing licking the dirty moisture from the concrete for refreshment. Crying myself dry had not been the smartest move.

CLANG

I turned over to see the door crack open, and Dax enter with a cup in his hand.

“Thirsty?” He asked. I nodded desperately, and rolled up onto to my knees to accept the cup. “Ah not so fast there.” He taunted, pulling his hand back and smirking. “Have you considered my offer?”

I leveled my darkest stare at him, and fought with myself not to start crying. It was something that just happened every time I became upset, but I refused to let Dax see me breaking.

“Dax, I’m already mated!”

SLAP

He struck me with his empty hand and returned the glare. Holding my eyes he tossed the cup of water to the side, breaking the porcelain on the stone. “First off , you will call me Alpha you ungrateful w***e. Secondly, I’m not stupid. You bare no mark on your neck, and your scent is still pure. So while Mr. Erikson and you may think that you’re mated, it’s my f*****g existence that decides that. Look around Ivy, where is Axel? That’s right. He doesn’t even care that you’re gone. Take my offer to be my mate, and all this can stop.” He gestured around us.

I slowly stood up, my head bowed and walking over to stand in front of him. His rough hand grasped my chin and angled me to meet his eyes…and that’s when I spit directly into his face.

I huddled in the corner, clutching my wrist from where Dax had snapped it. Being a werewolf means we heal faster than average, but the pain of the process is still very much noticeable. After I had spit on Dax he lost it on me. I can’t say I expected anything less, but for someone who wants me as a mate, he didn’t go easy about it.

He hadn’t even wiped the spit from his face before tackling me onto my back, a handful of my hair painfully entrapped within his strong clutches. I tried to pry his hand off to no use . He grabbed my wrist and with a simple flick of his fingers, snapped it clear in two. I screamed out, but was quickly silenced with a punch to the mouth. He got off me, and kicked me twice in the side.

“You disobedient little cunt! I have half a mind to say f**k it and just execute you. Do you think I NEED you?! That I can’t get literally any she-b***h I want ?! I’m the goddamn ALPHA! You should be honored that I asked you for a mate! You’re lucky I actually want you, Axel obviously doesn’t. In fact from what I’ve been told he’s already moved on.” With that, he slammed the door shut leaving me broken on the ground.

(Three hours later)

Laying on my back on the hard floor I stared emotionless up at the ceiling. I have 3 possible outcomes in this situation. One, I submit my hand to Dax, breaking both my and Axels hearts with it. Two, Axel somehow magically comes to my rescue, but if it is true he’s found another mate it seems unlikely he’d come for me (I couldn’t bare to consider that possibility). Or three. I figure out a way to get the f**k out of here.

(Dax POV)

I’ve never had to beg to get what I want. It always came with the territory, and if it didn’t well I’d f*****g make it.

I first noticed Ivy two years ago when she was working the laundry room. She had long blonde hair, interspersed with honey brown lowlights. Green hazel eyes , and angular features. She was beautiful. I decided then and there, that once I became Alpha I would take her as my mate.

Mating an Omega was not something common for an Alpha to do, but what did it matter? She’d become Luna within a mere sentence.

All the Alpha females I’d ever seen were complete dogs, pardon the pun. I guess if you’re royal what does it matter if you’re ugly? Not for me. I wanted a woman I could f**k with the lights on.

The night before Ivy turned 18, I killed my father to become Alpha. Sure everyone thinks ma did it though. After I banished her who would consider my involvement? No son would throw out his own mother if she was innocent.

Originally I went to my father with the request he step down and relinquish the title to me. Do you know what he said when I told him it was so I could mate Ivy? “Dishonorable and deplorable. No Alpha of Blood Lake will mate an Omega. You’re not fit at this time to run my pack.” I saw red…and not because he insulted Ivy, but because he insulted me.

He fought hard I’ll give him that, but in the end he just couldn’t pry my hands from around his sagging throat.

Though losing both my parents in one night was hard, finding out Ivy had gone rogue enraged me. Well we’ve come full circle, and back she is. Though I physically can’t take her as a mate until she accepts my offer. I’ll do what is necessary to break her, I am not an Alpha to be denied.

This morning I was informed we had trackers from Silver Falls within the territory. I ordered my Beta Vic to mask his scent as did I, just incase there was remnants left behind last night.

They came through, asking questions about any possible sightings of their Luna, and permission to look around the village . To deny would be to admit guilt so I permitted them, and offered aid in the search.

Chelsea was wise to suggest we use a location underground.

Ten years or so ago, our pack and the Drayton Lake pack had an agreement go south. My father had an underground bunker set up East of the lake with two interrogation cells for enemy pack members to be detained. It was expertly hidden amongst cat tails and lake sediment, which masked both the latch door as well as any scents.

After a two hour long search was exercised without a single finding, the idiots from Silver Falls left. Apart from the rejection of Ivy, everything is coming together. There’s one other problem I foresee however. Axel Erikson will need to die.
