The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

An Alpha’s Endless Night

After leaving Anna’s bedroom I can’t even consider going back to sleep. I’m so happy for her, meeting your wolf is a big deal. Learning she is Omega is going to change so much. ‘Omegas make amazing Luna’s’ Leo offers. ‘Yes they do. They also make amazing targets. She needs more protection,’ I tell my wolf as I walk to my office. My a*s has barely hit the chair when my desk phone rings, I look at the wall clock, 2:34am. This is going to be bad, I think as I pick up the phone. I don’t speak, I wait for the other person.
“Fraction, Alpha Rickson is dead along with his Beta and Head Warrior” Alpha Darryl of the Grey Pack. He was meant to be here this week but with the missing wolves we cancelled the visit. “His Luna is missing along with three other females from his pack”
“Isn’t the Rickson’s Luna an Omega?” I say while shouting to James in our mind link to come to my office.
“Yes she is. That’s not the worst of it though” James enters my office. and I place Darryl on speaker phone.
“Worse than a dead Alpha, Beta and Head Warrior?”
“Yes, we found some bodies. Four females, all in shallow graves around the South Claw Pack land. They are among the first taken when this all started” Darryl is being spoken to in the background, he pauses to listen. “I’ve just been told one of the females taken is sixteen. years old.”
“Wait so he took four females and got rid of four to make room? This

wolf isn’t shopping, he’s building a ha*em.” James looks angry as he says this. I can see Zeus, his wolf, in his eyes.
“Calm down Zeus” I tell the wolf sitting in front of me, “Darryl can we do anything to help?” I speak into the speaker.
“Not as of now I need to call the Alphas of these females and tell them and then I suggest a gathering.”
“Sounds good, keep me updated.” I hung up the call.
I swipe my hands down my face and into my beard. “What a cluster f*ck.” I tell James.
“You’re telling me, what is this wolf up to?!” James is slowly calming down, he doesn’t normally lose his temper but this is not a normal situation. I can’t answer his question yet so I will change the topic a little.
“Anna got her wolf. She’s called Winter and she’s an Omega. Her safety has never been more important. We know at least one of the wolves taken is Omega, maybe more.” I tell James, I watch his face as he processes this.
“Little wolf is Omega?” I growl as he uses my pet name for her “Sorry Alpha, wow an Omega. Our next Luna will be an Omega.”
“If she wants the title. I won’t force it on her”
“She will want it. She loves this pack and she would have been sworn in by if you weren’t so stubborn.” He’s chuckling at me.
no
“I can’t, you don’t know the pain. Knowing she’s my mate, knowing I can’t do anything about it until she knows that I can’t tell her. I can have her in my head too. I just can’t. A man can only take so much.” I put my head in my hands, I’m tired but I won’t sleep, not now.

“Why don’t you start off small? She’s 18 in a little under ten months. Now is the perfect time to form a friendship with her. Let Leo run with her wolf. Let them bond. He can’t do anything, you said so yourself it’s like a wall you can’t get through even if you tried.” James offers, he’s trying to help.
I decide if I’m not going to sleep I’m going to run I need to ponder everything I have learned tonight. “Keep an eye out on the house I’m going to run and check the patrols’ “I tell James as I start to drop my basketball shorts. I’m not ashamed, nudity is nothing among wolves. Once I’m outside I jump off the porch and land as Leo. I do a quick stretch of the front and back paws. It’s been a while since I’ve let Leo out and he’s aching for a run.
We take off as a sleek black blur, Leo is massive, he stands at an impressive 7feet and weighs in at around 175 pounds. Leo knows the land well so I pass over everything to him and take a back seat. We run and run and run. Weaving in between trees and dodging rocks I start to think of Anna. In 10 months, she will be able to scent me soon. The wall will come down and she will know we are mates. Right now I can’t even consider how that will feel, sure i know what to expect but there is a force inside me that stops me being able to think of her like that. Me and Leo think of nothing but protecting Anna and Winter. I know that will change soon. As we run I’m sniffing for any signs of rogues or wolves that shouldn’t be here. Before I know it I’ve done a full lap of the pack.
When I’m at the back of the packhouse I hear it, a howl. It’s one of pain and death. I feel two snaps on the pack bond and I know two pack members have died. I reach out to James in our mind link ‘What happened?’
