The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson novel Chapter 87

One wrong decision.
(Faye)
“You didn’t even kill him.” I rage, my anger only gets more intense as I look around at the old lady floral lounge I’m currently hiding in.
“Will you keep your voice down, he might be g ay but my neighbours still have ears.” I roll my eyes at her. Leon is not home, he will be at the medical centre gathering around Fraction and his little Omega.
“He’s let her back in, she’s at the medical centre right now.” I jump up for the plastic covered sofa, “and here I am, relegated back to the depths with you.”
“Oh I’m sorry. here’s me thinking you wanted me to help. If I’m such a burden you can find your way to the door.” I look at her and her smug little smile, I take slow deep breaths and remind myself that I can’t hit a little old woman.
“Nothin you have done has helped me. The herbs are useless and only worked that one time, he won’t even look at me let alone touch me.” I watch as she puts her knitting needles down and picks up her coffee
cup.
“I got you the Luna spot, I can’t force a mating. Even though I’m not that strong, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news dear but your father has been spinning you a yarn. That Alpha is not nor will he ever be, your mate.” I shake my head in denial, I know she’s lying, Fraction is mine. We are meant to be together.
“You’re lying, it’s written.” she just sits there and sips at her drink like my whole world is not imploding around me.

“The Greylone’s have hated the Alpha’s family for long before you were born and it will continue long after you are gone.” She says. cryptically.
“It doesn’t matter, he’s my mate. Not hers,” I shout loudly, “I’ve known this for a long time! It’s written in the journals, I’m to be a great Luna.”
“Have you seen them? Does it name you specifically?” I don’t answer her. I haven’t seen them but it’s besides the point. My father wouldn’t lie to me, not about this. Storming out of the house I slam the door so hard I hear a picture fall from the wall and beak. I smile knowing I’ve just caused her some kind of pain. Everything in that house is precious to the old bat so seeing something broken will devastate her.
Looking across the road I see the damage Mrs Jacobs car has done to the park lawn. it’s all rucked up and torn apart, sniffing I can smell Thoma s’s blood in the air. It’s soaked into the ground so it will stink for days, or at least until we have a good strong rain. Smiling to myself I head off towards the coffee house, maybe some coffee will settle this pit in my stomach. I hate to say it but the old bat has put some doubt in my mind, maybe I’m not meant to be his. Maybe Anna is his rightful mate, not like it matters. I’m here now and I’m not letting go of the Luna spot for anything or anyone. Walking past the bakery I see the guy Anna came with, I haven’t been in here since I covered the shift and gave Anna that cake. Apparently Susan doesn’t want anyone but her in the kitchen these days. The poor woman doesn’t realise that I baked the dam n cake at home, not in her kitchen. I decide to stop and have a chat with Anna’s new male friend, maybe I can talk him into making a move on her. Perhaps if she’s busy getting her needs met. elsewhere then she will leave me and mine alone.
I stop next to the streetlamp just opposite the door of the bakery and wait for him to come out. It doesn’t take long before Mr Tall, Dark and Brooding comes stomping out the tiny bakery holding a small bag of goodies. If I know anything about Anna then that’s got to be chocolate

cake.
“She used to make him buy it for her, I see she has a new wolf on a leash.” I say as if speaking to myself, his eyes connect with mine and I see the moment he realises who I am.
“Faye.” he nods before taking a step as it to walk away from me.
“Luna, actually but I’ll ignore the disrespect. So your Anna’s new play thing? Must be pretty sure of yourself if you left her alone with Fraction.” I slide my eyes over him as if I’m appreciating the view.
“I’m no one’s plaything.” He seethes stepping closer to me, as he does his eyes widen and his nostrils flare.
“What are you doing”” I ask him recoiling away from him, he drops the bag of baked good and drags me to him by my wrist. His grip is really tight and as much as I try I can’t seem to pull away from him. “Get oll me!” I scream loudly and the few people on this side of the street actually cross the road to get away from us. His nose is right in my hair and I hear him take a deep sniff.
“You know what I find interesting. Faye?” He whispers in my ear. I shake my head, too scared to actually speak. “I find it really interesting that wolves all over the country are looking for Jellerson and yet here you are stinking of him.” He lets go of my wrist and because I was still trying to pull away from him I land on the side of the road on my as s, He comes down to my level by crouching down on his feet. “now tell me, why do you smell like Jefferson and for once in your life…don’t lie.”
I wrack my brain to come up with an excuse, any excuse but nothing is coming to mind as this massive male stares me down..
“Don’t want to tell me? Well, let’s see what Alpha has to say.” With that he picks up the bakery bag and strolls off towards the medical

centre. As soon as he rounds the corner I’m up on my feet and running all out to my home, once I’m there I barge through the front door and straight down to the basement. Simon was sitting in the kitchen but I didn’t even bother to stop to talk to him.
“Father, we have to move him,” I yell as I make my way down the
stairs.
“Why?” My father asks as he steps back from a very broken Jefferson, my family haven’t gone easy on him the last few days. He’s lost weight because they don’t feed him, he stinks because they don’t clean him and he’s got some many different cuts, marks and bruises I can barely make out the man underneath. He’s missing chunks of his hair and his mouth is puffy and swollen from having teeth removed.
“Anna is here and she brought this male with her and he smelled him on me. He’s on his way to the Alpha right now,” I manage to brace myself before his hand connects with my jaw but I still stumble backwards.
“Da mn it girl. Can’t you do anything right. Simon, come help me move this pathetic thing.” He walks over to the sink and grabs a bottle of bleach. “make yourself useful and scrub the room, I don’t want one trace of him here when the Alpha comes knocking.” I nod my head at him as I take the bleach. Together my father and Simon manage to get Jefferson from the chair, I think he’s unconscious because when they make him stand his head just rolls around.
“Is he dead?” I ask quietly.
“Not yet.” My father responds before he puts his hands under Jefferson’ s arms and waits for my brother to get his feet. It takes some manoeuvring but they manage to get him outof the basement. I don’t ask where they are taking him. I just unscrew the bottle of bleach and up end it so its contents trickles to the floor. Sure the basement will

stink of bleach when Fraction gets here but at least it won’t smell of Jefferson.
