The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

Chapter 82

Him.
(Anna)
That first shift Mac stayed for three hours, just drinking coffee and watching the road outside. He didn’t speak to me or even look at me, although I was glad I didn’t have to fight off a fully grown male shifter. I have to say I was a little confused, I thought rogues were all about the females and wanting them for themselves. Instead I have the hotter than sin Mac who has sat at the same table every shift for the last six shifts. He drinks his coffee, he watches the cars and he leaves.
Now it’s my day off and I can’t help but wonder where he is. If I’m being honest with myself I’m a little nervous about there being a rogue so close to me. I knew it would happen of course but I didn’t think I would come across one so soon and in such a domesticated manner. Putting the magazine I’m reading down on the sofa next to me I reach over to the coffee table and pick up my phone. It takes me a good five minutes but I finally work up the courage to hit the call on Fraction’s number. After a handful of rings it gets answered but I don’t hear Fractions voice on the other end, instead it’s just silence.
“Fraction?” I ask after a solid minute of silence.
“He’s not here,” Faye’s sickly sweet voice answers back. “He’s showering, what do you wan
“Oh erm, I wanted to talk to Thomas.” I quickly lie, the phone gets this m uff led echo sound to it and I hear Faye speaking to someone before she comes back to the line.
“He’s not here right now, I have to go. Fraction needs me.” The line. ends as quickly as it started.

Pulling the phone away from my car I hold it in my hand and just stare at it. I drop the phone to the floor like it’s just burnt my hand. Why is Faye helping Fraction in the shower? Did he go back on his word? Did he mate her? All the questions go running through my head so quickly they make me feel like the room is spinning. I get up from the sofa in a daze and head to the front door. I need some fresh air, I suddenly feel. like I can breathe here. Once I’m on the porch I sit on the top step and just take some really deep and soothing breaths, I’m trying to calm. myself down and it’s not working in the slightest.
“They’re not mated.’ Winter tells me.
‘How do you know that?’ I ask her while scanning the tree line of where my house backs onto.
‘I would feel it, I’ve felt everything else.’ She sounds really bitter as she says this.
‘Everything?’ I ask her quickly, ‘did I miss something?”

‘You don’t want to know Anna.’ She tells me quickly.
‘Just tell me, it can’t be worse than her answering his phone while he’s in the shower and then her leaving to join him.’ I say bitterly.
‘A few nights ago I felt them together, it was only for a short time but they definitely shared something intimate.’ I close my eyes and pray for patience as she tells me this, ‘it didn’t feel right though, nothing like when we are with them.”
‘How can you still feel it? I didn’t feel anything.’ I ask her as I try to gather my emotions.
‘I’m still connected to Leo, that’s why the mark hasn’t faded. If we are away too long it will snap just like your connection’ Winter explains, ‘Anna get yourself inside and lock the door.”

‘Why?’ I ask her instantly going on edge.
“There is a wolf on the tree line, go now Anna.’ As soon as she has finished speaking I am on my feet but it’s too late, a giant grey and black wolf starts to emerge from the treeline.
‘We need to shift.’ I demand of Winter.
‘I can’t,’ my eyes go wide at this as the wolf gets closer. I watch in horror as the wolf speeds up but as he gets closer he shifts into a fully
grown man.
“What the hell? A wolf comes running at you and you just stand there? Do you have no survival instinct?” Mac roars as he grabs my arm and drags me back inside my house. I don’t resist him. I’m in too much shock that he’s butt n*ked and dragging me through my own home. As soon as we are in the lounge he stops moving and pushes me onto the
sofa.
“What are you doing here?” I ask him quictly.
“Right now? Looking for some pants.” He says storming out of the lounge and up the stairs. I just sit there and stare after him, I’m trying to think of what I can do but I’m drawing a blank.
‘We need help.’ I tell Winter, ‘who can we get here?”
‘Where’s your phone? Maybe those human police can come?’ I almost laugh out loud at the notion of calling the police on a rogue shifter.
‘I dropped it and I don’t know where it is. Anyway, can you imagine what a rogue will do to human police?’ I swear I can feel her roll her eyes at me.
‘Well at least I won’t have to go through the pain of a broken
connection with Léo.’ She tells me as Mac walks back into the lounge
