The Stained Omega

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. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“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

wrapped in a floral towel. He sits down on the armchair and just looks. at me. I suddenly feel very

uncomfortable.

“When was the last time you let your wolf out?” He asks me.

“I’m sorry what?” I ask, thinking there is no way I heard him properly.

“Your wolf”? When was the last time you ran on all four paws?” I shrug my shoulders, “well you need to

try and do it at least two times a week. You need to keep Winter strong and active.”

“I don’t understand.” I say confused, he’s just there after dragging me into my home and now he’s

giving me self care tips on how to keep my wolf healthy. “What kind of rogue are you?” out of the list of

things he would do, for him to slam his feet into the floor and burst out laughing is not one of them.

“A rogue? You think a rogue is going to have a nice chit chat before he kills you?” I just blink at him,

“Anna I was sent to help you.”

“By who?” I ask him, shocked that someone has been sent to help me

in any way.

“Alpha Darryl, he has a bit of a soft spot for you. Not that I’m surprised, he didn’t mention the Omega

thing. Although that will make my job easier,” he says while rubbing his stubbled jaw line. “Yeah, I can

work with this.”

“Work with what? What’s your job exactly?” I question him.

“Well, me and you are going to work on your training, pick up where Patrick left off. You got a spare

bedroom?” He goes from one topic to another so quickly it’s making my head spin.

“A spare bedroom?” I ask him, I seem to bounce from confused to annoyed and then right back to

confused. My head feels like it’s

spinning around in a circle.

“I’m sleeping in the forest so Swiftmane doesn’t find out I’m here.” If he’s hiding does that mean I can’t

tell anyone he’s here. “Don’t worry, everyone who needs to know I’m here already knows.” I nod my

head. at him. “we will start with training tomorrow at 5am. I’m going to find the spare bedroom.”

“Wait!” I say getting up and following him to the stairs, “you can’t just move in here.”

“Sure. I’ll go and when the rogues come to find the sweet little Omega on her own I’m sure they will be

terrified at the whole not running thing you have going on.” I just stare after him as he heads up the

stairs. and starts opening doors.

Heading back to the lounge I sit down on the sofa and try to figure out what the hell just happened.

How did the guy who has been sitting in my work place turn out to be someone sent by Darryl to train

me and. look after me? And what exactly am I being trained for? The challenge. is over and I lost, there

is nothing left to fight for. Fraction promised. me he would fix this so I’m not sure what my training at

5am is going to do.
