The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson novel Chapter 42

Visitors 

(Fraction) 

The buzzing of my alarm wakes me up at 9am, the kick in the shin from Anna was to make doubly sure I’m awake. I glare over at my sleeping mate and contemplate if kicking her back is too mean… 

‘Maybe don’t kick our pregnant mate.‘ Leo chimes in with a yawn. 

‘I wasn’t going to. Just thinking about it for about a second.‘ I tell him, as if he thought I’d actually kick her. I lean over and k*ss her cheek before jumping out of bed. 

“Come back, cold now.” Anna grumbles, I look back over at her, and she hasn’t even opened her eyes. 

“Can’t little wolf, we have visitors coming.” I tell her as I pull on a t- shirt and jeans. 

“Sure. Just give me five minutes.” I chuckle to myself as I leave the room. I bet she has no idea what I even said. Doctor Lee mentioned that women get tired a lot during their 2nd trimester so I’m just going to let her sleep while I get sorted for Alpha Darryl. 

When I round the corner to my office I’m really confused, there is what appears to be a door sized grey wall where my door once was. 

“Erm…hello?” I call out, hopeful the person I can hear grunting from the other side can hear me. 

“Fraction, thank Goddess. Do me a favour and push on this for me.” Says the muffled voice of James. Using two hands I give a push on the plush wall, and it pops into the office on top of my rather stunned

“New beanbag?” It’s bigger than I thought.” I tell James, stepping around him, he’s slowly trying to wriggle from underneath it. 

“Yeah, I thought it was a touch smaller as well, do you think Luna will like it?” Just then a little female squeal hits us. We turn and see Anna standing in the doorway. 

“It’s perfect!” She excitedly screams while launching herself at me. She’s peppering k*sses all over my face as I support her with my arms. 

“It’s nothing, I knew you wanted one,” I glance at James who is staring daggers at me, I arch my brow at him. Damn right I’m taking credit for this, he is not getting my hugs and k*sses. 

I place Anna back on the floor once James is done setting up the beanbag and she drops into it. I swear it eats her whole, she falls into the middle and the sides come up to swamp her in plushie goodness. 

“Oh yes, yes I like this a lot.” She says curling further into the beanbag. I settle myself at my desk as I chuckle at her. Happy mate, happy life. 

“Anything else happen last night?” I ask James who seems to be staring at Anna like she’s grown six heads. 

“Oh. Ah…no nothing. Alpha Darryl called, and he should be here a little earlier, around 9:30am last time I spoke to him.” 

“Great, when he gets here, you and he come straight to my office,” I tell James, “Oh and Lewis too if Darryl thinks it’s needed.” 

“Sure, while we wait shall I get some coffee for us?” I just look at James, I can’t believe he actually asked that. 

As James leaves I turn my attention to Anna, I’m about to ask her if she

wants to join us when Darryl gets here when I realise, she’s fallen back to sleep in her little plushie heaven. I walk over to the sofa and squeeze between it and the bean bag to drop the blanket over her. It’s only ever been used by her and stays draped over the sofa when she’s not using it. The smell of bacon and Dark Columbian Roast is followed by my mother as she enters the office. She just stands in the doorway look at me for a second, trying to figure out how to get past the sofa and a sleeping Anna with the tray she has. 

“Here mother,” I say leaning over the sofa, “thank you for doing this. I did send James.” 

“Oh, I know. Alpha Darryl and Lewis just pulled up so he’s showing them in. There is something for everyone on the tray.” She again looks. at Anna, “I don’t know how you’re all going to get past her but take it from me, never wake a pregnant mate.” 

“Yes, mother. “I say to her, retreating back. 

Just as I settle into my desk chair with my coffee and bacon sandwich James enters my office followed by Darryl and Lewis. 

“Welcome gentlemen. I know it’s a bit of a squeeze but apparently my pregnant Luna likes to sleep.” I chuckle. 

“No problem at all.” Darryl says as all three–squeeze past and plop onto the sofa. All three of them on the sofa with a sleeping she–wolf next to them is quite comical actually. 

“Help yourselves, my mother made sandwiches and coffee for us all.” I say as they start in on the tray, I removed Anna’s sandwich and glass of milk and popped them on my desk. It’s likely they will go to waste as she will sleep too long but it’s the thought that counts. Once we have all finished eating, I give the Alpha in front of me all of my attention. 

“Alright, what can I do for you?” I ask Darryl.

“A few things actually,” he replies, “firstly I wanted to let you know we got all the she–wolves back to their families or packs. I have two with me who were orphans from Alpha Rickson’s pack, since he’s not there I have taken them in my ward until they become of age.” I nod as he continues, “I understand Eliza is still here?” 

“She is, I have told her should she want to leave all she has to do is say. It turns out Rick is her mate and it’s a bit messy with everything she has gone through.” I tell Darryl, James and Lewis are just sat silently watching us. 

“Alright, that’s one mystery solved then.” I look at Darryl. 

“Has someone expressed concern for her?” I look at James who shrugs, he doesn’t know about this either. 

“No, not exactly. The head warrior of South Claw was concerned when she wasn’t with the females we dropped off. So, I just wanted to be certain she is still here.” I again nod, that makes sense. “I’ve spoken with the other Alpha’s in the area who have spoken to their females. and pups, and it turns out three other packs have females who were sold by Callum. Two are with their mates and turns out they got to them through challenges on both counts.” so who ever bought those females i dead, thank Goddess, “the third is a woman who showed up. at Alpha Steven’s pack at the age of 16, the wolf who bought her told Steven she was a family cousin. Until I started asking questions, he had no reason to doubt this. I believe the female has been taken from the home and is being supported by Steven and his Luna.” Thats a lot to take in, Callum has been a busy Alpha. 

“Do we know where these women came from?” I ask Darryl, 

“Hati, we think. The woman at Stevens pack recalls being in Hati at a young age and being brought to America in a crate.” James’s eyes go wide as he looks between me and Darryl, I swipe my hand down my

face. 

“Damn it. What a mess.” I say aloud. 

“I agree but it does work in our favour.” I look at Darryl. “I’ve spoken to the Elders, and they have agreed to a reconvene on the Moon Gathering just to hear everything we have on Callum.” 

“That’s what, six days from now?” James says. 

“Correct. Fraction, I hate to ask this, but we need Anna there.” Darryl 

says. 

“No!” 

“She has invaluable information.” 

“I said no damn it! I won’t put my pregnant mate in the middle of what could turn out to be a battlefield.” I’m getting angry now, I watch as Lewis stands up and unfolds his arms. Ah so that’s why Darryl’s head warrior is here. “Sit down Lewis before I take you standing as a direct challenge!” I growl, he doesn’t sit down so I growl louder. 

“Fraction! Stop growling at them!” We all turn to look at Anna, I didnt even realise she woke up. “He is right, and you know it. I will be in no danger with you there.” 

“Anna, this is not up for discussion.” I tell her. 

“You’re right it’s not.” She says. “I’m coming. I won’t let that Alpha walk free again so he can do to others what he did to me and those other women.” I turn back to Darryl. 

“I guess we are both coming.” I tell him through gritted teeth. 

“Sorry Fraction but you know this is for the best, we can finally nail

this bastard.” he turns to Anna, “Also, lovely to meet you, Anna.” Anna just nods and smiles having snuck the bacon sandwich off my desk, she has her cheeks full of food like a little hamster.
