The Omega And Her Triplet Mates

Chapter 13: Back to pack duties

I slept in Fenris’ room for a few days on top of some blankets he’d laid on the floor for me, and most of the time I stayed curled up on them in my wolf form. It felt safer that way. Wolves didn’t have to explain their feelings. They didn’t have to talk about humiliation, rejection, or fear.

They could simply curl into a ball and hide from the world.

By the fourth day, Jax was finally released.

I was lying on my side on the blankets with my nose tucked beneath my tail when the bedroom door opened.

“Alright darling, Fenris told me what happened.” Jax crouched down beside me and ran a hand through my fur.

When I looked at him, he grinned, “what? You’re cute, but try not to go around stroking the pack in their wolf form, us dominant wolves don’t like to be touched in our wolf form.”

I couldn’t answer him, and he asked, “are you ever going to change back to human?”

I whined softly and he grew more serious. “I know Rose, I know it hurts, you feel super vulnerable and scared, but you need to change back. I promise I won’t leave your side ok, I won’t go off hunting anyone I swear. It was a s.hit thing for me to do to my friend, and you are my friend, Rose.”

The words made my chest ache.

Friend.

Not mate.

Not girlfriend.

Not anything special.

Just friend.

Still…

It was enough.

For now.

I sighed, and he laughed, knowing it was a sign of defeat and that I would change back.

I changed in the bathroom down the hall and called out through the door, “I’m done.”

I opened it ajar slightly and Jax passed me one of his white t-shirts and some gray sweatpants.

I won’t lie, I was not the cliché beautiful slim bombshell like the other female werewolves, and his clothes were kind of tight on me.

I felt like a damn whale and hated the fact that I didn’t even own any clothes, certainly not feminine clothes, my parents kept me very plain, and it was the same in the asylum, I don’t think I’d ever even worn jeans in my life.

I felt embarrassed, but what could I do? I slowly opened the door and slid out.

If he noticed I was bigger in clothes size than him, he didn’t show it, instead he gave me a grin and said, “I think dear old dad wants you back cleaning the place and doing your womanly duties.”

He was teasing, and I s.lapped the side of his head for that, which of course, only made him laugh more.

He came with me into the kitchen and Shelia was there making food for everyone. I felt bad, me not doing anything had probably meant she’d had to return to doing it all.

“Hey Sheila,” I smiled shyly.

“Hello Rose, are you feeling better?”

I nodded and gestured for her to let me take over.

She said she’d help, but Jax grabbed her from behind around the waist and kissed her neck. “Hey beautiful, have you missed me?”

She giggled and placed her hands over his as he held her.

“I always do, if only you’d stop being such a bad wolf,” she flirted.

“You don’t really want me to be the good wolf, you love how bad I am and the things I’m willing to do to provide you pleasure,” he teased, and trailed kisses along her neck.

He seemed more himself here than he had at the hospital, he didn’t seem so cold and serious.

He leaned around and kissed her lightly on the lips before letting her go. Cherry lemonade wolf walked in, and she was covered in bruises and cuts.

Jax snarled at her when she tried to say hello to him, when she went to the fridge, fear flooded me as he picked up a kitchen knife and threw it at her just as she opened the fridge door.

The knife embedded itself into the door, and she looked at it in horror.

Jax threatened her, “if you so much as f.ucking look at Rose wrong, the next time I throw a knife at you, I won’t miss.”

I touched his arm lightly, and he growled at me. I quickly let go, realizing we were among werewolves now, and I had to behave like an omega wolf, not a human.

He might not have minded if we were dealing with humans, but In front of the pack, he probably needed me to show the correct respect to his rank in the pack.

She stuttered an apology and quickly slunk out of the kitchen.

Sheila looked almost as terrified as cherry lemonade wolf had. I should probably learn her real name, but I doubt she’d tell me if I asked.

Sheila was literally shaking, and I probably would have been too if I hadn’t spent time alone with Jax in the warehouse and seen his worst side. It was still terrifying, but I suppose I’d somewhat adjusted to it.

He pulled Sheila into his arms. “I’m sorry darling, I didn’t mean to scare you, you know I would never hurt you. I don’t hurt innocents.”

She nodded against his chest and slowly relaxed.

Romulus walked into the kitchen and made a low whistle sound. “I can feel the tension from out there, what’s going on?”

Jax shrugged. “Nothing, just making sure pack members follow pack rules.”

“We aren’t the alpha yet.”

Fenris walked in when Romulus said that and muttered, “you better start learning Rom, we have two months left before we take over the pack, it’s a good idea to start putting in the practice now.”

He grabbed some food and walked out without another word to anyone, didn’t even look at anyone.

“Why’s Fenris such a miserable f***k,” Romulus said to Jax.

“He’s just moody because he lacks personality, probably vanilla in bed too,” Jax joked.

“Yeah, good luck to any female who wants a bit of kink in bed, he’d most likely sit her up and give a long lecturing talk about such inappropriate things.” Both Romulus and Jax began laughing at that.

“I thought he was still a virgin?” Sheila said quietly. That made them both laugh harder and Jax answered, “No, he f.ucks a lot of females, it’s just probably boring plain s**x though.”

Romulus added, “doesn’t he have a girlfriend? I forgot what her name was, she’s from that other pack.”

“You mean Paige from the Full moon pack?”

“Yeah, she’s hot, she’s got massive t.its, he best suck on those and better not be too boring to even do that.”

“You’re such a pervert,” Jax said.

“I just love females and I want to make sure they get all the attention and pleasures they deserve,” Romulus grinned.

“You have a girlfriend too, shithead, go pay her attention.”

“I’m about to.” Romulus grinned and filled a cup with ice cubes.

When everyone stared at him with confused expressions, he spread his arms wide. “What? The ice is for her, you’d be surprised how using it on a female’s body in the right way can provide extreme pleasure.” He winked and left the kitchen.

Things mostly got back to normal and although pack members still snarled, growled or called me names if I got too close, no one tried to physically hurt me, at least not for a while.

Jax scared everyone, but it was like the wolf in them couldn’t refrain from their naturally aggressive and violent ways for long.

Jax had stayed by my side most of the time like he’d promised, but there was a day when he left me alone, he didn’t say why, but I was pretty sure it was because he wanted to do stuff in the bedroom with one of the female wolves, a dominant female.

I couldn’t expect him to babysit me forever, and honestly, I was kind of glad for the peace from my insecure and jealous brain.

I had deep feelings for Jax and it was hard to see him flirt with other females while he still sometimes called me dude!

I’d slowly noticed all the females wanted the triplets, they would flirt with them and if any of the brothers were interested they’d disappear to their rooms for a while.

Fenris hardly ever responded to the females, but occasionally he would.

Romulus was a huge flirt and would lap up the attention, he never said no even though he had a girlfriend, and I’d seen on her face before that it angered her, but she couldn’t do much about it besides breaking up with him because he was more dominant than her.

Screw that, I would have left him in a heartbeat, he was beautiful and an alpha like his other brothers, but I don’t think I could ever be desperate enough to be treated like that.

I was a romantic at heart myself and I wanted the whole fairy tale, true love, not some casual fling or a guy who would use me, I always got much too emotionally attached for that. Jax had said Romulus was romantic, but I was finding it hard to see.

When it came to Jax he mostly just flirted, I think the female he’d gone off with today was the first time he’d done anything s.exual with someone since in the asylum.

I spent more time in the kitchen than anywhere else, as werewolves seemed to be constantly hungry.

I’d cook, wash up, cook again and so the dishes never seemed to stay clean for more than an hour.

Sometimes it was like a horror movie, I’d clean everything and breathe a sigh of relief, only to turn and see more damn dishes as if I’d never started.

I was collecting all the rubbish and putting it in the trash when Romulus came in as I was about to tie the bag up and throw it outside.

“Wait!” He called, and threw a very used c.ondom into the bin, but it hit my hand and I quickly shook it off. I tried not to gag while he found it hilarious.

When he finally recovered, he said, “you should feel blessed, no omega has ever had the privilege of having an alpha wolf, let alone be that close to his seed.” Two other pack members came in and laughed at what he said. What had begun as sort of funny quickly turned cruel and mean.

“How are you still this fat? All the housework you do and running around I would have thought you’d lose some weight by now, you don’t even eat much unless you’re secretly pigging out?”

I tried to ignore Romulus and blushed hard as everyone laughed and taunted me.

Romulus was the cruelest brother and said the most hurtful things, it was like the more I ignored him, the more it riled him up.

I was back to washing up, and he came up behind me and pushed me. “Oi, I’m talking to you.”

“I’m sorry,” I whispered.

Fenris had come in a few minutes earlier, and he stood by watching silently, but he didn’t say anything or try to stop it. I guess verbal abuse was allowed.

“You will be,” Romulus said and then without warning he shoved my head into the water and held my face under.

Water rushed into my nose and mouth.

For a second panic exploded through me.

I couldn’t breathe.

Couldn’t think.

Couldn’t move.

All I could hear was the rushing water and Romulus laughing above me.

Then he finally let me go.

I came up choking and coughing, gripping the edge of the sink while water dripped from my hair and face.

Nobody moved.

Nobody helped.

The pack members standing nearby simply looked away, as if this sort of thing happened everyday.

As if I wasn’t worth defending.

Fenris casually said, “Rom, stop it.”

“Why? She’s an omega, that’s even weaker and more pitiful than the submissive wolves, she should show the correct respect to me.”

Fenris rolled his eyes. “she’s getting on with her work, and it looks like you’re just harassing her, quit it. Now.”

The other wolves quickly disappeared while Romulus growled at Fenris but gritted, “fine.”

Fenris came over to me and coldly said, “go clean up and return when you’re done.”

Nodding, I ran out of the room and finally allowed the tears to stream down my face.

I shut the bathroom door and slid down it, burying my hands in my face.

Why did it always have to be me?

I wasn’t trying to cause problems.

I wasn’t trying to disrespect anyone.

I cooked their food.

Cleaned their dishes.

Washed their clothes.

I stayed out of everyone’s way.

Yet somehow that never seemed to be enough.

I wiped furiously at my eyes.

Crying only made me feel worse.

Weak.

Pathetic.

Everything everyone already thought I was.

Screw them.

I stood up.
