The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

Sleepless night.

(Anna)

It has been a long day: Fraction took in a group from Alpha Callum’s pack. I made sure the pups and women were all fed, cleaned and looked after while he talked to the males in his office. When they finally emerged, the sun had already set, and the pups were settled in my old room. Fraction looked tense and refused to talk about what was said. I got a very gruff ‘Later.‘ when I asked him about it. He asked me to go up to our room and start packing for the Moon Gathering as he and James went into the office. That was almost three hours ago and now I’m bored. I decide to go and see if Fraction is anywhere near done.

I tiptoe down to his office very much like I did the night I was taken. Again, I didn’t meet anyone on my way down, it must be a little later than I thought.

‘Go back to the room Anna.‘ I hear Winter scold me.

‘No! I’m his Luna and I’m sick of being picked up and placed where he wants. He can either come to bed or tell me what is going on.’ I reply to her.

‘Fine but nothing good ever happens when we wander around alone.‘ I mean she’s not wrong but I’m not going to tell her that.

When I get to the office door, I realise I can hear James even though the door is closed. This door is reinforced so people can’t listen in on the Alpha’s meeting. I don’t know how I can hear them but listen.

unashamedly.

“What about Sarah, did you get rid of her?” I hear Fraction ask.

“Yeah, she won’t be an issue anymore. You should have let me do that from the start.” James responds in a low voice.

“I don’t like using such a heavy hand, but I won’t have her upsetting, Anna. Did the checks on Dan and the others come back ok?” I can’t help but wonder what they did to Sarah, sure she pissed me off, but I don’t want her to come to any harm. I hear some papers rustling ast James answers.

“Yeah, they all check out. My concern is what he told you about Callum. If he’s really helping the rogues capture these females, he’s going to have a lot of packs after him.”

“We have no proof, only the word of a deserter Head Warrior. Hist word won’t be counted in front of the Elders.” I lean slightly closer not wanting to miss anything. I hear the clink of ice on glass and assume Fraction just poured himself a whiskey.

“What about Anna? What Dan is claiming is crazy, could it be true?”

“I don’t know yet. If she really was sold as a child, then she could have a family out there. If it’s true it means Callum is not only helping capture females for rogues but he’s also selling pups.” I gasp, clasping my hand over my mouth. I can’t believe what I just heard. Sold? Me!

‘Demand answers! Now!‘ Winter demands. I don’t think as I open the office door and look at the two stunned men before me. James is sitting on the sofa surrounded by papers and a half empty glass of whiskey. Fraction is sitting in his chair looking straight at me like he’s seen a ghost.

“Anna! What are you doing?” Fraction demands, his tone has taken on an edge of anger.
