The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

Chapter 75

Challenge.
(Anna)
I’m in a clearing I know well, it’s surrounded by trees and off somewhere in the distance I can hear running water. I raise my face up to the blazing sun and I let Vitamin D soak into my skin. It’s been a while since I’ve been here but I remember it like it was yesterday, in this clearing there is no Faye, there is no broken mate bond, there is no leaving and there most certainly is no crying Fraction. I thought I could handle most things thrown my way but if I could live a thousand years and not see Fraction cry again it will be too soon. There was something so saddening about seeing my strong Alpha break down like that, it was as if he had finally let himself feel everything he’s been blocking out for weeks. I held him for hours, wrapped in my arms and legs until he finally slipped from my b*dy. I’m not sure what kept him lodged in me for so long but I truly cherished every second he was inside of me, it was painful but also beyond words in the pleasure department.
Casting my eyes around the clearing I see what I was hoping to see, there in the middle of the sunbathed grass is a huge black wolf. Nestled into his fur is a smaller white wolf with a dark stain on her rump, they fit together like pieces of a ji g s aw. Every now and again the black wolf uses his tongue to clean the smaller wolf’s fur, he makes. sure it’s back into its flattened sleek position each time he finishes. It’s not about grooming, it’s about affection and right now he’s showing her how much he cares.
A bird overhead starts cawing loudly and it disturbs the wolves, both of them sit up at the same time to look at the annoyance. It doesn’t go away no matter how much they stare at it, a silent conversation seems to pass between the two wolves until the smaller wolf walks towards

me.
‘It’s time.’ Winter tells me sadly.
My eyes fly open and my hand instantly goes to the space next to me. all I feel is cold rumpled fabric though. I sigh knowing that Fraction must have left hours ago, today is the challenge day, today is the day my whole life will change. Climbing out of the bed I go through the motions of putting on some leggings and a t-shirt. I figure I don’t need. to be in anything too fancy for today. I barely even register going through my morning routine and it isn’t until I go to get my hairbrush that I realise some of my things are missing. Turning on the spot I notice things are missing from the room. On the bedside table there. was a picture of me. Fraction and Thomas and now it’s gone. My clothes that once hung in the cupboard are no longer there, my bath products that were along the bath are gone. Someone has packed up my things.

“He packed for me,” I say out loud, I think it’s right there that it really hits me. Once I leave this room I won’t be coming back.
“Anna?” I hear Eliza say from the doorway.
“Today. “I say to her as tears pour from my eyes. “it’s really happening.” Eliza rushes into the room and pulls me into a hug.
“It’s ok Anna, it’s not forever remember? Fraction will fix this, you just have to put your trust in him.” She tells me while stroking my hair, “I m sorry sweetie but we have to go. It’s time.” I nod my head into her chest and raise my face, I wipe at my runny nose and wet eyes with the back of my hands.
“Thomas?” I ask her between sniffles.
“I’ve got him. And no matter what I will not let that woman anywhere near him. Fraction knows I’m your voice on this and he’s already told

me he will listen.” I nod at her as she guides me from the room with at hand at my back.
“And Fraction?” I question her.
“I will ensure that she does not draw him in. Patrick and James will be there to help him as well. Anna we have gone over all of this. We will watch out for your family until you can come home where you belong.” I just nod at her confident all of our talks have gotten through to her and she will have my back in this.
“Ok, let’s do this then.” I’m putting on some false bravado and if she knows it she’s not calling me on it.

The clearing chosen for the challenge is deadly silent which is impressive considering the amount of shifters packed into the space. An area has been marked off in white paint for the fight, only a few of us know there will be no fight. If too many knew, Faye may have found out and found another way to make Anna hurt or even die. I watch as the crowd at the south side of the clearing parts and Faye walks in looking as confident as any wolf can in a situation like this. She’s flanked by her father and brothers. I haven’t had much to do with them. but I’ve heard whispers that they are weird people. No one says anything to Faye as she stands and waits at the edge of the painted area. Normally a challenger would have people at her back cheering her on. Faye will not find any cheers in this clearing for her.
I see the moment she realises she has no supporters, her shoulders sink
my and a frown comes across her face. She keeps trying to catch
my eye but I’m purposefully avoiding her gaze, this female is about to tear apart my entire family, she will get nothing from me.
“That’s her?” Darryl asks from next to me, I just nod at him as I cast my eyes over the crowd looking for Anna. Her coming late was part of the
