NovelsFreeChapter 28 Ava: Omega? (I)
I'm walking to the bus stop after my evening class, my mind still focused on the lecture. The streetlights flicker
overhead, casting long shadows that seem to shift and dance in the corners of my vision. An uneasy feeling
prickles at the back of my neck, but | push it aside, chalking it up to my overactive imagination.
Then, without warning, a searing pain explodes at the base of my skull. A strangled yell tears from my throat as
my knees buckle, and | crumple to the pavement. Spots dance before my eyes, and for a disorienting moment,
the world tilts on its axis.
Ava! Ava, listen to me! Selene's frantic voice cuts through the haze of agony. Get up! You have to run!
A rough hand grips my arm, haulingupright with a savage jerk. The potent scent of shifter slams into me—
musky, feral, and utterly alien. My heart stutters in my chest as a car screeches to a halt beside us.
Fight, Ava! Fight! Selene's command echoes through my mind, her urgency lendinga burst of adrenaline-
fueled strength.
| thrash against my assailant's hold, kicking and clawing with everything | have. A guttural snarl rumbles in my
ear as he wrestlestoward the waiting vehicle. My nails find purchase, scoring deep gouges along his cheek,
but he doesn't relent.
The backseat door flies open, and I'm shoved inside with brutal force. My head cracks against the opposite
window, and stars explode across my vision. Rough hands pindown, the weight of a body trapping me
against the cracked leather seats.
"Get off me!" | scream, bucking wildly. "Letgo!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHot, rancid breath washes over my face as my assailant leans in close, his features twisted into a savage leer.
"Calm down, little wolf," he growls, his voice a deep, grating rasp. "You'll be fine. We'll be mating you soon."
Bile rises in my throat as he buries his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply. Revulsion churns in my gut,
and | renew my struggles with frantic desperation.
"She's unmated, all right," he pants, his words muffled against my skin. "A rogue wolf, free for the taking. What
are you doing, walking alone at night? Waiting for us to take you?"
"Of course she was," the driver says, and | can hear the leer in his voice.
| thrash and buck beneath the weight of my assailant, my heart thundering in my ears. Every ounce of my
training screams atto fight, to claw and bite and scratch until I'm free, but he's just too strong. His bulk pins
Selene whimpers in the back of my mind. I'm coming, Ava. Hold on!
I'll be okay. I'm unsure if Selene can even hear my thoughts over the roaring panic in my head. I'll survive until |
can get away. Just get toas fast as you can.
The driver lets out a guttural groan, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror. "Can you smell that? She's about to
go into heat." He drags in a deep breath, his nostrils flaring. "Goddamn, that scent is drivingcrazy. | fucking
knew she wasn't human. | told you, didn't 1?"
Heat? That doesn't make sense. Female shifters don't go into heat until they're mated. At least—that's what |
was told.
Since | ran away, I'm learning that my pack education might not be that great, honestly. In White Peak, it was
rare to see a shifter among humans. Here—well, Cedarwood didn't have many before, but lately they're
everywhere, and they fit in just fine... Something Alpha Renard always said was impossible.
| can feel the man's slimy tongue licking along the crescent at my neck, causing it to burn. The urge to vomit is
strong, and | jerk my head away, only for his teeth to bite intoin punishment. Stupid shifters. They have to
be rogues; they smell wrong. Wild. And they're so fucking horny they'd abduct a potential mate right off the
street.
Though, Todd wasn't any better. Being in a pack doesn't mean you're a civilized shifter, either. | cringe as
unwanted memories crowd my brain; | don't want to go through that again. Or worse.
| try to formulate a plan, my mind racing even as the brute on top ofnuzzles the crook of my neck with
disturbing tenderness. Play dead? No, they'd never let their guard down. Scream? The driver seems just as
unhinged as my captor; he'd probably join in on the fun.
My only hope is to wait for an opportunity, to bide my tuntil they make a mistake. | force my body to go
limp, feigning defeat as a whimper escapes my lips. The man chuckles darkly, mistaking my deception for fear
as he noses along my jaw.
"That's it, little wolf," he rumbles, his hot breath fanning over my skin. "Just relax and let it happen. You'll enjoy it
soon enough. Submit to your alphas."
Alpha? Please. They're not even betas.
| guess rogue wolves get a little delusional.
I swallow back a wave of nausea, fighting to keep my expression blank even as his calloused hands roam over
my body in a mockery of a lover's caress. Rage simmers beneath my skin, scorching through my veins with
every touch, but | can't let it show. Not yet.
Just hold on, Ava. I'm coming.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis fingers tangle in my hair, yanking my head back to expose the long column of my throat. | let out a whimper,
praying it sounds convincing as his lips touch my crescent scar again. "I can smell her so strongly right here," he
growls, licking at it again. Fire burns, almost as if my scar is rejecting his touch.
"Are you calm now, little mate?"
I nod frantically, praying he believes that I've been sufficiently subdued by his "alpha" aura. "I'm calm. I'm sorry.
| won't fight."
"Of course you won't," he croons, and | can see the wild in his eyes.
Selene, these guys are weird. Is this what feral wolves are like?
The silence in my head hasunnerved, even as the shifter's painful grip eases into something like a lover's
embrace. Both of them talk toevery so often, tellinghow wonderful our lives are going to be, and how
we're going to create our own pack.
My skin crawls as my kidnapper nuzzles against me, and my brain blanks whenever he kisses me. All | can taste
is stale cigarettes, but I lay limp, waiting for my chance.
They've already let their guard down. If | can keep this up...
Selene? | ask urgently, but it's still quiet.
