After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

“Excuse me,” the Omega said, taking a step back from her. “I didn’t see you there.”

He was tall and lean, with slicked–back black hair and blue eyes. She mirrored his movements, taking a step back, but still had to tilt her head up to meet his gaze.

She just stared.

The Omega grinned. “Wolf caught your tongue?”

“Oh, sorry,” Elaine said, blinking rapidly to bring herself out of her stupor. “I’ve just…I’ve never met an Omega before.”

“Ah, not many have. We’re a rare breed,” he replied, rolling his shoulders back.

The rankings of a pack weren’t just social titles. Alphas weren’t just leaders. Their werewolf forms were larger than any other, they tended to be more headstrong. More aggressive.

Betas were more steady and calm–thinking, with the second–strongest wolf forms. Most of them, anyway. Ayla had proved that not every beta followed their own inherent nature.

Gammas made up the majority of any pack. They varied greatly in the strength of their wolf forms.

And Omegas… they were, historically, the emotional centers of a pack. Lowest in ranking but highly charismatic, if more susceptible to any given feeling in the moment. They were the bottom of the rung, by nature more submissive. Their wolf forms often small, but quick.

This Omega here? He did not seem to fit that archetype. By nature, he shouldn’t have been as tall as he was. 

Nor as intimidating. Though something in his scent put Elaine at ease. Even her dwindling connection to her own wolf could sense that.

“And you’re a rogue?” Elaine asked.

“Indeed. Pack life did not suit me very well. Far too structured for my taste. And far too dependent on rankings, don’t you think?”

She didn’t know how to immediately respond. She tilted her head. “No, I don’t. I think the rankings are only fair. They are based on our very nature.”

“You see before you an Omega. Do I look like the submissive sort of lot?” he asked.

Elaine opened her mouth to respond, then closed it again. She looked him up and down. He was wearing a suit and tie. He didn’t look like he even belonged in this town. “No. I suppose not.”
