The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson novel Chapter 90

Late night chats.
(Anna)
A short time after Fraction is done and fallen asleep. I climb out of the bed and head for the bathroom, once there I close the door and turn on the shower. Stripping out of my panties and t-shirt I step into the warm water and the tears instantly start coming. I don’t think it occurred to me until tonight why Fraction wanted me in a house so close to him, I might not be his Luna or his Mate but I’m here. A willing b*dy that will roll over anytime he says and because he makes my b*dy sing and my heart race I don’t stop him. I need to find a way to get out from under him, if I can’t be with him completely then I need to separate. myself from him. I can finger out the Thomas stuff later but right now I need to think of myself and keep me from being detained by yet another man. Sure there are no bars on the windows, I’m not chained and I’m not starved but it’s very much still a prison. Only this time it’s only of my own making, I walked into it willingly.
Once the shower has run cold I turn it off and step out, wrapping myself in a towel. Looking around for my clothes I realise that I didn’t think to grab any clothes. So all I have to put on is my long sleep t- shirt and pair of panties Fraction couldn’t even be bothered to take off before f ucking me: Dried and dressed I look in the mirror above the sink and try to talk myself into going back to bed, back to where Fraction is sleeping but I can’t, I know that if I go in there I will lay my head on his chest and fall asleep to the sound of his heart. It’s my safe place and comfort spot, looking myself dead in the eye I try to channel my inner Winter.
“Time to stop being reliant on everyone Anna,” just as I start giving myself the pep talk I hear Mac’s bedroom door opening and then footsteps going down the stairs. I figure if he’s awake and downstairs

then so can I, maybe I can check on Jefferson. Making my mind up, I make sure my as s is covered in the shirt, open the bathroom door and head down stairs.
“How is he?” I hear Mac whisper in a quiet voice.
“He hasn’t woken up. I can’t feel Arrax. I think that’s what worries me the most.” Darryl answers just as quietly. As I come down the stairs I see Mac turn to see who’s coming and he just shakes his head when he
sees it’s me.
“Go back to bed Anna.” It instantly gets my back up that Mac thinks he can tell me what to do in my own home.
“No.” I say simply before walking through the lounge and to the kitchen. I nod my head at Darryl silently asking him to follow me. Once there I get the milk from the fridge and grab a pan from the cupboard.
“What’s up?” Darryl asks me as he leans against the doorframe.
“Is the offer to come to your Pack still there?” I ask him as I turn the hob on, warm milk has always made me feel better before.
“It is, but I think you should think about it before making that decision. Anna. It’s possible Faye was involved in Jefferson’s disappearance and if that’s the case she will be stripped of her Luna title and sent to the Elders for judgement.” Darryl tells me.
“And then what? I go back to Swiftmane like the dutiful little Luna and Mate? How do I forgive him for shutting me out like this?” I sound like a child but the pain is very real, I can feel it blocking my heart like. an actual stone in my chest, I rub a hand over my heart as I stir the milk. It does nothing to case the pain.
“Anna,” Darryl sighs before coming over to me and placing his hand

on mine. “He did the best he could with the situation. I’m not sure I could have handled it any differently, our laws, they bind us too much.”
“Then maybe the laws need to be changed. Maybe what’s good for one Pack isn’t good for another, why should I be second best to my own Pack like I was my family?” I don’t realise I’m crying until Darryl reaches over to turn the hob off, “let me come and stay awhile, maybe I can help with Jefferson?”
“No disrespect meant Anna but how are you going to do that?” I look up to see Mac standing in the doorway just behind Darryl, the small kitchen suddenly feels very crowded.
“I don’t know but maybe I could learn? I’m just making this up as I go along.” I turn to Darryl, “please, I’m asking you to help me.” The kitchen is silent for a long time as Mac and Darryl seem to have a silent conversation, just when I think they might turn me down Darryl sighs.
“We have someone at our Pack who might be able to help you but if I take you to her, you have to promise me you won’t ever tell anyone about her.” Daryl say
very quietly, I figure he’s trying to make sure Fraction won’t overhear him.
“An Omega?” I ask him quietly, Mac nods behind him, “why the secrecy?”
“She’s had her own troubles in life, it’s her story to tell but she could help you with getting to understand your Omega side.” Darryl tells me.
“So I can come?” I ask him hopefully.
“You can but we leave in the morning, is that going to be a problem?” My mind instantly goes to Thomas and him lying in that little bed.

“No, I’ll be ready.” I’m not sure how I’m going to make it work yet but I’ Il figure it out, milk forgotten about. I walk past Darryl and Mac and head back up to bed..
If we are leaving first thing in the morning then I best get a few hours so I can pull my weight helping the guys with Jefferson. I can’t be sure but I can’t imagine travelling with someone that is injured will be easy.
“You’re leaving me.” Fraction says as soon as I close the bedroom door.
“Why are you sitting in the dark?” I ask him, walking over to the bed and climbing into the other side of the bed.
“I woke up and you were gone and then I heard you talking to Darryl. I take it. he agreed?” I just nod my head, “what about Thomas? He’s going to need you while he heals.”
“And how exactly do I do that? Send good wishes from my home, he’s on a Pack land I can’t even enter without chaperone!” I say getting mad at him, “and you left me first!”
“Je sus Christ!” Fraction jumps out of the bed and starts pacing back and forth along the room, “how do we keep coming back to the same argument. It’s every time we speak, Anna. I can’t keep doing this.”
“That’s why I’m leaving,” I tell him truthfully. “I don’t like who we are becoming to each other. And Mac might be wrong and Faye might not. be involved with Jefferson,” Fraction just looks at me as if I’m being an idiot.
“Who’s being an idiot now? Of course she’s involved, how else does at wolf get kept on my Pack land and tortured without me knowing about it?” I have to admit he has a point.
“So once she’s gone, and what? You take me back and we go forward. like nothing has ever happened? I just can’t Fraction, I need to figure

out how I work outside of us before I can work on fixing us.” Fraction just sits down on the end of the bed, leaning his head down he brings his hands up to his hair.
“Tell me you will come back?” He begs me.
“I’ll do everything I can to get back to you.” It’s the most I can promise right now.
