The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

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
