The Omega

Ch.18 Rose

After breakfast Jack showed me around a bit. Most places I already knew from having to clean them, but others were new. Like his bedroom. The room was huge. I could have fit at least three of my rooms in his. Pulse had his own private bathroom. We were laying on his bed talking when a knock sounded at his door. Jack growled but opened the door anyway. Ryan stood on the other side. He smiled at me over Jack’s shoulder before reminding Jack of their meeting. “Okay Princess I have to go. Have you decided on what you are going to do?” Jack asked, pulling on a nicer shirt. 

“Um I think I’m going to go to the library. How long is your meeting for?” I asked, picking at the hem of my shirt. 

“It should only take about a half hour. I tell you what Ryan and I will walk you down to the library. Then when you are done you can come back here okay.” I nodded and got off his bed. 

“Good morning Princess Luna” Ryan greeted his charming smile. I would be a fool not to admit that Ryan was certainly a looker. It was weird being called that. With those two words I felt like the whole world was on my shoulders.

Out of habit I looked to the floor. “Please, my future Beta, call me Rose.” Fingers brushed under my chin and a hard body pressed against my back. 

I was forced to look at Ryan. For just a moment with me pressed against Jack. It looked as though a flash of lust appeared on Ryan’s face. “You bow to no one. Unless I tell you to, okay baby girl.” I don’t know why but with the way Ryan looked at me like the hungry wolf, and Jack holding me against him whispering in my ear. It was doing something to my body. For some reason my body wanted to reach out to Ryan and pull him into the room with us. I could swear with the way he was looking at us, he wanted it to. 

I would definitely be talking to Jack about this. “I’m sorry,” I told him, trying to control my heart from beating out of my chest. 

“Don’t be sorry. Let’s go or else we will be late.” Jack said, taking my hand. 

Jack and Ryan dropped me off at the library before heading to their meeting. I was browsing around when I accidentally knocked a book from the shelf. It hit the floor with a loud slap. As I bent to pick it up a woman yelled. “Who is in here? I said I wanted to be left alone!” I peaked around the corner and sitting in the chair next to the big window was Luna. 

I jumped into action. “I am sorry Luna, I wasn’t aware anyone was in here. Jack, uh I mean, my future Alpha said that it was alright if I looked around.” Everyone knew Luna was blind due to an injury she had gotten in a battle a few years ago. The same battle that took her mate, Jack’s dad, our Alpha. Don’t let that fool you, she is an amazing Luna. 

A smile formed on her lips. “You must be Rose. Please come here.” She motioned me to come closer. I stepped closer and she motioned for me to take the seat across from her. As I sat down Luna said “Jack has talked very highly of you. I wanted to say that I am sorry for what you have had to go through. I know my mate and son are at odds right now. Jack is so angry at his father for allowing this to go on for so long under his nose. I want you to know that neither of us knew of what was happening.” 

“Thank you Luna, and I do not blame anyone for what has happened to me. Many times I was told to come and speak with you both, but I am an Omega. We are to accept what we get from our pack. What they ask we give. I brought it upon myself truly I was always in the way, or when they wanted something I wasn’t willing to give. I was punished for that.” 

Luna’s eyebrows crinkled together. “What do you mean child? Who told you that that is your duty as Omega?” She almost sounded out raged. 

“Well the first time I was involved in a conflict with a pack member. The girl wanted my favorite doll. I didn’t let her have it so she hit me with a rock. My mom and dad told me that I am to give what they want and be a good girl or else I get punished.” Was she mad at me? Did she think I was making this up? 

“Oh my child, what you have been taught is so wrong. Where are your parents? I would like to talk to them.” 

“Oh please don’t Luna. They are so busy, please it’s all okay now nothing has happened for a while.” I beg her but she does the crinkling eyebrow thing again. 

“Was it not true that just on Monday you were choked with a silver chain dipped in wolf's bane?” 

I could feel my cheeks heating up. “Yes Luna, but nothing has happened since. It is actually the longest peace I have had in some time. I promise I am fine, please don’t disrupt my parents.” 

Luna was quiet for some time before she agreed. I made up a reason to leave. As I was walking back to Jack’s room I bumped into the person that hated me the most right now, Trinity’s father. When he saw me his eyes filled with anger, before I could do anything he had me by my throat against the wall. I couldn’t breath, I was starting to panic, my vision was going black. I heard what sounded like yelling. 

Then suddenly air was able to make its way back into my lungs. I collapsed into someone. My vision was starting to clear. In front of me was Jack in his wolf form and he was tearing into Trinity’s dad. I looked up to see Ryan holding me. I looked back to Jack. Trinity’s dad had stopped fighting and was just laying there. I pushed off Ryan and stumbled to Jack. “Jack. Stop.” I rasped out. Ryan was able to get hold of Jack and pull him back a bit. Trinity’s dad was covered in blood. I removed my shirt and tore it to rags. I found the worst of the injuries and tried to stop the bleeding. Soon warriors were rushing down the hall. “Get away from him mut!” One yelled slapping me, sending me backwards onto the floor. Warriors were always the worst of the pack. Jack growled and tried to attack the warrior. Ryan held onto him with all his might. 

“Get him to the f*****g clinic!” Ryan yelled trying to get the warriors away before Jack broke free. The warriors quickly followed orders. Jack shifted back and before the one who slapped me could disappear he stopped him. Walking up to him Jack grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall. Growling he told the warrior “if any of you ever lay a finger on my mate I you won't be surviving like him. I will kill you do you understand?” The warrior looked as if he was going to pee his pants. He gave a quick nod looking between me and Jack. 

Ryan had given me his shirt as Jack’s tore to shreds when he shifted. Now I was in the hall alone with two half naked, very muscular men, that both seemed to want to take care of me.
