The Stained Omega

Chapter 117

Alpha Down.

(Anna)

It’s peaceful in the clearing, I can see Winter walking around at the other side, she seems to be

patrolling for something but I figure I’ll wait for her to come to me. For now I just lay in the grass and

soak up the sun. It’s always warm here, the sky is always blue and the grass is always a lush green.

Considering this is where Winter brings me in my dreams this is where I always imagine her to be when

she’s not

bursting out of me. I feel her getting closer to me so I open one eye and look over at her, she’s stopped

maybe an arms width from me and dropped a rabbit next to me.

“Is this a gift?” I ask her while closing my eyes and aiming my face at the sun again.

“More of an apology.” Winter says in a small voice, I’ve never heard her sounding so subdued before.

“I thought only cats brought dead things home.” I chuckle at my own joke.

“Oh ha ha ha, I need something from you.” This has me sitting up and looking at her, I cross my legs

and start pulling at the grass around me. I’m purposefully trying to avoid looking at the dead rabbit, I

know she means well but…ew.

“What could you possibly want from me?” I know I sound angry, it’s hard not to be after realising how

much she’s been controlling me.

“Anna, I’m sorry. I wasn’t in my right mind, Leo won’t talk to me,’ Winter slumps onto her front paws and

lays down in the grass closing

her eyes.

“I haven’t even shifted with Fraction yet, maybe give us some time?” I lean back on my arms and point

my face to the sun again, “it’s not like you’re hurting here in the time rain forgot.”

“Me and Leo always talk, always have. He refuses to talk to me because it was my idea to take

Thomas and run. He’s worried I still want to take our son away from him.” I sigh and look at her.

“That will take some time, the wounds will heal. Fraction understands. we aren’t going to do it so just

give Leo time.” I go to lean over and run a hand through Winter’s fur when she sits up so suddenly she

makes me jump. All her fur is on end and her ears are pointed straight up.

“Wake up Anna. Right now!” I jolt awake so suddenly I almost fall out

of bed.

Sitting up in the bed I let my eyes adjust to the darkness, once I can see clearly I realise Fraction isn’t

in the bed with me.

‘He’s in the clearing, the challenge has started!’ Winter growls at me, I’ m up and out of the bed before

she has even finished speaking. I fly from the bedroom so quickly that I forget to put shoes on, dressed

in nothing but the white shift dress I wore to the ceremony. I fly down the stairs and out of the house. I

don’t see another person or hear any sounds until I’m part way through the forest to the clearing my

challenge was held in..

“You killed my daughter!” I hear someone scream in a primal rage. After a few more steps the smell of

Fractions blood fills my nose.

“Fraction!” I scream Fraction’s name over and over again until my throat hurts. As soon as I break the

tree line I start to scream and run

even faster.

Fraction has Theo beneath him but he’s looking towards me, he’s so focused on me he doesn’t see the

knife Simon throws to his father who plunges it into Fraction’s side. Fraction jolts and turns more

towards me and Theo goes limp beneath him, I scream louder as James grabs me around my waist.

“Anna, you can’t.” James puts all his weight into stopping me from entering the clearing.

“Fraction, help him!” I scream over at Patrick, Darryl and Mac who are watching the fight with Elder

Thomas. I think it’s about that time the males realise something is wrong because James lets me go as

soon as Patrick and Darryl start running towards Fraction. I reach Fraction at the same time as James

and I’m on my knees feeling him for the wound, I feel it gaping from between his ribs and I use my

hands to try and stop the bleeding.

“Doctor Lee is coming, here Anna take this.” James hands me Fractions t-shirt and I ball it up and

thrust it into his side.

“Wake up, you can’t leave me. You promised.” I whisper to Fraction ast the tears start to pour down my

face.

“Where did the knife come from?” Darryl asks loudly. It’s then that I remember seeing Simon throw his

father the knife.

“Put Simon in the cells, he threw the knife. I saw it happen,” Patrick doesn’t even question me he

instantly marches over to Simon and Tray. Simon looks like he’s about to run but when Mac joins

Patrick he realises there’s nowhere to go. “Where’s the Doctor, the bleeding won’t stop.” I can hear the

panic in my voice but I can’t seem to control it. My hands are shaking as I try to stop the bleeding with a

now drenched shirt.

“He’s coming Anna, just keep pressure on the wound.” James tells me and Darryl and Elder Thomas

stand off to the side whispering. I hear

about the Alpha Heir being too young and the Luna being to inexperienced.

“Stop it! Just stop it, my mate is bleeding out. Now is not the time to worry about the Pack. He needs a

Doctor now! Until he’s cold and has no pulse you have no right to talk like that!” I know I’m shouting but

why aren’t they helping me more? “Can we carry him?”

“Don’t move him!” I hear Doctor Lee shout as he comes dashing through the forest. I’m in shock as I

see Leon running behind him.

“Why is he out?” James asks with a snarl as Doctor Lee and Leon reach us.

“For a wound like this I need someone competent. You can do what you like after he helps me save the

Alpha.” I move to the side when Doctor Lee starts to move my hands. “You did good work Luna, I’ve

got him from here. On the stretcher now Leon,” I watch Leon slide the stretcher pad under Fraction.

“Ok you guys need to help me carry him to the medical centre,” Doctor Lee puts his stethoscope on

Fractions chest and then looks up at me. “We need to get him there quickly, I think he has a collapsed

lung.”

“Darryl, James, help them with Fraction. Get him to the medical centre, I’ll meet you there.” I’m amazed

that none of them even question me. They instantly do as I tell them and within a minute or so Fraction

is out of the clearing and being carried to the medical centre.

As soon as the clearing is clear except for me, Elder Thomas and the b*dy of Theo I lean over and

empty my stomach into the grass. I heave a few times before I realise nothing else is coming up. I look Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

down and my white dress is now red with Fractions blood, my hands and arms are covered in it.

“Anna?” I hear Elder Thomas behind me, I move so quickly I don’t

think he even had time to react. My hand is connecting with his face, the slap is so loud it seems to

echo around the empty clearing.

“You warn of Omega pups, of fated mates and you pass judgement on those beneath you. But you

couldn’t give me a heads up about this? After everything I’ve been through I now have to lose my mate

to some redneck as shole who has an Alpha ego?” I know deep down it’s not Elder Thoma s’s fault but

the rage and grief inside me is all consuming. “You pretend to know everything but you’re just making it

up as you go along aren’t you?”

“Not everything is written for us to see. We govern because we see a lot but not everything.” Elder

Thomas holds his hands out to me as if pleading for me to understand.

“Yeah?” I scoff at him, “well I don’t recognise your authority. Feel free to leave, I have a mate to try and

save!”

With that I turn from him and start sprinting back towards the medical centre. I know I’ve probably pis

sed off someone who has only ever helped me but I needed an outlet and he happened to be there. I

can only hope that when I’m ready to apologise he is ready to hear it. I run as quickly as I can with

Winter/ whimpering and howling a mournful sound in my ears, I just hope I make it to the medical

centre before it’s too late.
