The Omega Reclamation

Five

Kade POV

I watch as the new female is led away by the Headmaster. She is covered in bruises and looks somewhat scared. I cannot get a read on what she is and that bothers me more than I like to admit. I feel a pull to her, and I have never felt a pull to anyone, not like this at least. I have the guys, and we are, in a weird sense, a pack. The urge to follow her is strong, so I do.

I stay hidden. The Headmaster is a vampire and can hear a pin drop a mile away. Luckily for me, he seems to be too preoccupied with the new student to pay attention to someone following him. When they finally stop, I realize they are standing in front of the widowed Alpha’s door. Sudden anger rages through me. I dislike the thought of this female sleeping in the same space as another male.

I quickly leave the area and make my way back to my dorm. I have to tell the guys. When I walk in, they are all relaxing in the living room area watching some movie. I walk over to the TV and pause it.

“What the hell, kade?” Phoenix says, looking frustrated, but I don’t let it sway me.

“We have a new student, and I don’t like it. She looks like some poor orphan kid.” I start pacing. I have to tell them I am drawn to her. It will cause some suspicions because incubus only ever lust; we don’t feel pulled unless they are our true mates.

Legion stares at me before he finally speaks. “Kade, stop pacing and tell us the rest. I know there is more. I can sense it.”

Legion is a Fae, and some powers he contains are the ability to sense hidden secrets, lies, or frustration. He calls it some bullshit about the aura of a person.

I rub my hand through my hair. Of course he would sense it. “I am drawn to her, not lusting, but drawn to her. This is bad. We need information on her and fast.”

Lila’s mouth drops open. “Yes we do. You are never drawn to anyone. Is she a succubus?”

“I couldn’t tell. I couldn’t sense anything about her, almost like she was a normal human.”

The ever-levelheaded Legion runs his hands through his hair. “I will get Hailey to look into her. She will sneak in and grab what we need.”

I nod my head. We will watch her for now and worry about whatever Hailey digs up later. I already don’t like this girl. The fear of mating and what would be expected of me is too much to even think about with all the changes I already have going on.

I know the guys are thinking about their responsibilities if they ever find a mate, too. They know what I am feeling, as each of us are royal heirs to our respective thrones.

I wake up hearing a knock on the door. I scramble from the bed, remembering that the Headmaster said he would be sending someone to pick me up. I fling the door open and immediately regret it. In front of me stands yet another gorgeous male. He has his black hair pulled back in a messy ponytail, his face clean-shaven. He’s wearing a school uniform, but it does nothing to conceal the muscles underneath it. His skin looks kissed by the sun, like he’s used to lying on a beach all day.

“Hey, someone's knocking on the door for you.” His gaze travels up and down my body and his eyes open wide.

I look down in alarm and realize I am still just in a t-shirt; I must look like a train wreck. “Thank you.” I stand there awkwardly; I have no idea what I am doing. I have no idea how to socialize with anyone besides Draven.

“Look, I don’t want to be sharing the same space with you. Leave me alone and I will do the same.” With that, he walks off and slams the door.

I threw on some leggings and my one good sweater. I don’t have a backpack yet, so I rush to open the door and see a very impatient, bored-looking girl on the other side.

“God, you couldn’t move any slower. Let’s go, charity case.” She spins on her heel and speed walks down the hall in heels that I am sure I would kill myself in.

Charity case? What? I don’t know why she is being mean to me, but I don’t care for it. I decided that I will just try to avoid her.

“Move it. I don’t have all day to baby you. I need to take you to the Headmaster’s office.”

I stare at the back of her head. She is pretty; the girl-next-door look in stilettos. Long brown hair, full lips, green eyes, and an attitude of an entitled rich girl. I decided to be brave and ask her why she called me a charity case. What I don’t expect is for her to stop in her tracks and spin around to glare daggers at me.

“Are you serious? Do you really think that you just came to this school because it's open to anyone? You are a pathetic waste of space and that is why you are roomed with that waste of an Alpha wolf. You do not belong here. Oh yeah, I did my research on you. Daddy had ya chained in a basement, didn’t he?”

I stop breathing; panic starts to claw its way up my throat. How did she know about my dad? Does she know everything? When I look back up at her, she is smirking at me. My wolf starts to growl. She doesn’t like this female.

“Move, charity case.”

When she wraps her nails around my wrist, I flinch back and yank my wrist from her grasp. “Please, don’t touch me.”

She looks shocked for a moment before she turns around and starts walking. When we arrive at the Headmaster’s door, it’s like her evil side disappears. She knocks and walks in. The receptionist from last night is sitting at her desk and when she looks up, she glances from me to the girl.

“Hailey, you can go to breakfast, dear. Thank you for bringing the new student here.”

Hailey so that’s her name. She turns and walks right back out the door.

“Melody, please have a seat. The Headmaster will be with you in a moment.” I sit in the chair; my nerves are all over the place since Hailey brought up my dad. I want to go and hide; I am nervous about seeing the Headmaster since I growled at him last night.
