Omega Found by E.L. Rose
Syler
Ibit her, and I lost to Cam all in one day.
The funniest part about this whole situation is that I am more worried about how I will get my mate to like me and trust me. I no longer care that I lost the Alpha position to Cam. In fact, I am sure he could make me Beta, but that could go to Grady.
The look on Honey’s face when I bit her is seared into my mind. A look of hurt and anger. I couldn’t control it. She had asked me to come to her room to help ease the pain of her heat. There was no talking, my lips claimed hers in a feverish kiss. I yanked her underwear off, my lips never leaving hers as I pulled her up around my waist and entered her, pushing her against the closest wall.
Her pussy was so wet, and I glided into her fast and hard. I felt the pull of my wolf and as much as I tried to control him, I knew I would lose the battle. I was just too damn selfish to care, I wanted her and the need for Honey was enough for me to be an asshole one more time. I felt her pussy clamp as she came, her head thrown back in pleasure and in that moment I struck.
My wolf surged forward seeing his only chance, and I found my teeth buried in her shoulder. Pulling back from her, I saw the hurt, and anger. I didn’t even try to block when her fist swung out and punched me in the face.
“What did you do, Syler?”
I know she knew what I did, but she wanted to hear me say it out loud. I was not ashamed of what I did, only sorry for how I did it. “I marked you, my wolf would not be denied.”
When she punched me again, I was taken by surprise. I didn’t stop her. I knew I was wrong, and I knew that I probably set myself back further with her than I wanted to.
“Get out, just leave Syler. I was not ready for this. I don’t trust you.” Her eyes were guarded.
My heart broke a little, so I stumbled away from her, pulling my pants up since I didn’t take them all the way off. I stumbled my way downstairs, knowing how it looked. By the time I had gotten myself together, Roman was beating my face in, then Cam challenged me, and I lost. Honey eventually broke everyone up and she and her amazing heart asked me to give her time.
“Syler, are you ready?”
Breaking out of my thoughts, I look in the mirror and see Phoenix standing behind me. “I fucked up bad, didn’t I?”
The swelling under my eye is gone and my nose is healed, but my pride is still badly damaged.
“You did, but you see how she handled it, you just can’t fuck up anymore and have a shot with her still.” He sighs loudly, his voice hard, “I mean it Syler, don’t fuck up again. She wants all her mates, and you keep messing up, if it comes down to it, I will choose her.”
He leaves me standing in my room with a hole in my heart. I never thought I would hear those words coming from his mouth, but there they are. I didn’t think I would ever lose them, but now it is a real possibility, if Phoenix feels this way then I know the other guys do as well. Being without them would turn my life upside down.
Fixing the Brioni suit I bought, I make sure nothing is out of place. The suit is all black, and I paired it with a sapphire blue shirt, and a matching tie, I also wear my favorite Rolex watch on my wrist. I pull my hair up into a loose bun, I know Honey likes my hair up like this and with how bad I fucked up, I need all the help I can get.
Leaving the room, I see all the guys are dressed and ready to go. We all went shopping together and decided on black suits, with all of us choosing different undershirts. We head to Roman’s office, though I am not too happy to be standing so near the Headmaster who right now looks like he stepped out of a modeling ad. Although I’m happy to be included with the rest of Honey's mates.
We head to the gym when Roman reaches out and stops me in the hallway. “Do not mess this up Syler, I mean it.”
Nodding my head, I walk away again, thinking about my mate. Stepping into the gym, we are greeted by the school committee who take our tickets and allow us in. I lean in and ask, “Have you seen Ronnie Rain or Honey Heart?”
This close to her I can tell she is a Gamma wolf and is nervous being this close to me, finally she stutters, “I saw her and Ronnie walking towards the fall part of the dance.”
The guys having heard immediately turn and walk that way. We spot Ronnie first, her being slightly taller than Honey. She spins Honey around and I feel my heart stop. Honey is gorgeous, her hair piled on top of her head in curls, some hanging down to frame her face and her neck. The smile on her face is enough to make my knees weak like some simpering virgin pup.
I watch as she catches sight of us standing between fall and summer. Her pupils dilate as she looks at each of her mates, landing on me she looks guarded, but they still shine with lust. I feel happy about that, but I need to make her feel safe around me.
Cam is the first one to step forward and cut in, while Grady grabs Ronnie and they start to spin. I watch as both Ronnie and Grady dance, but their eyes always find Honey, watching her as if enchanted. Cam leans down and claims her lips, her arms come around his to keep him close. They dance together the whole song and when it ends Roman steps forward. On and on it goes until I am the only one who hasn’t danced with her.
The song Make Me Cry by Noah Cyrus comes on and internally I groan, of course it would be the one song that is the truest for us. All I ever do is make her cry and I hate that fact more than anything. I step into her, grabbing her waist, holding her close to me. One of her hands comes around my neck and the other she places on my shoulder. Her head comes to rest underneath my chin. I hear her breath as I move with her in my arms. The song is a perfect recreation of our relationship.
“Honey, I’m sorry.”
She leans back and looks me in the eyes, taking a moment to stare at me, looking for the truth reflected in them. Her head comes back to my chest, and I know my apology is not enough right now. “I am not the mate you deserve, and I know a part of you will always resent me for that. After everything that you have been through, I made it worse because I was scared, scared to be anything less than what my father wanted me to be.”
I hear her sniffles, so I bring my hand up to cup the back of her head, holding her closer. I wish that she could hear my heart beating. I want her to know how fast it races at being near her. Taking a breath and listening to the words from the song for a moment, I think of a better way to tell her how I feel.
“I don’t expect you to trust me again or even forgive me for how I treated you, for not giving you a chance, for not seeing the amazing person you are. I can admit that I was scared, scared of change, scared of my parents and scared to lose the Alpha position, scared of genuine love, but what I am most sorry for is for marking you without your consent.”
Honey lifts her head to stare into my eyes. The tears in her eyes make me look away, my wolf is not happy that we cause her pain. We have been at war with each other since we met Honey. He knew she was ours and I fought him.
Her hand comes up to push some strands of my hair behind my ear. I follow the path one of her tears takes down her cheek. She cups my cheek, leaning up on her tiptoes for her mouth to meet mine. I cup her neck, molding our mouths together, I don’t push her, just letting her mouth press to mine, letting her do as she pleases. I am stunned when her tongue comes out to push against the seam of my mouth seeking entry. I part my lips, our tongues meeting and slowly exploring each other again. I moan into her mouth, my cock stirring to life in my pants.
Mentally scolding myself, telling my unwelcome hard on this is not the time, we need to back the fuck up a few thousand paces, and just enjoy this time with our mate. I deepen the kiss, hearing her slight groan, making me smile into the kiss. Honey breaks it to look at me, “Syler, this will still take time, but I want to try again, just no more lies and never hurt me again.”
My heart feels like I am going to have a heart attack, my wolf is howling, this is what he has wanted since we met her. “I promise, even if it takes the rest of my life, I will never let you down again.”
I lean back down, claiming her mouth once again, sealing my promise with a deep kiss. The beat picks up and I feel the rest of her mates close in on us, we break apart and Honey is grabbed by Grady. They form a circle around her as the music picks up pace, and the smile she gives the rest of her mates would take anyone’s breath away, she is happy, and she feels safe.
I watch as Ronnie breaks away from the group, I hear her tell Honey she needs to get some air and that she will be right back. Honey doesn’t look like she wants her to go, but Ronnie kisses her, assuring her she will be right back and to keep dancing.
Once Ronnie is outside, I see Honey keep looking in the direction, so I walk up to her and whisper in her ear. “I will go outside and stand with Ronnie until she is ready to come back in, so you will be okay knowing someone is with her.”
“Thank you Syler, that makes me feel so much better.”
I see the relief in her eyes, and something settles in me that, even though I was an asshole, in her heart she will trust me with Ronnie and trust me enough to protect another more vulnerable member of her family. I turn and head outside to look for Ronnie. Not seeing her right outside, I walk around the building, seeing a flash of red hair moving towards the woods.
“Ronnie, hey, where are you going!” I shout trying to get her attention.
She doesn’t respond, and it’s then I notice something is not right, my wolf is telling me to go after her, so we do. I take off in a run, my eyes shift to my wolf and I see Ronnie is being carried. The person speeds faster into the woods and I have no time to call for help and since my link is not as strong, not even with the guys anymore, I don’t know if they will feel my panic and come. The person carrying Ronnie disappears into the woods and I follow, keeping my senses open.
Entering the woods my stomach drops, the smell is off, the growling that comes next has me shifting right away. I walk further into the woods spotting Ronnie lying unconscious on the ground. Her hair is a mess, and she has blood on her face. The wolf that steps out smells familiar, which makes the hair on my body raise up.
It’s Honey’s father.
He’s a normal looking wolf, his hair is a common brown with some white sprinkled throughout, but I sense his seasoned Alpha strength that he has retained and quickly try to push my fear through the link to Honey and her mates. He rushes me, hitting my side and knocking me into a tree. White dots blur my vision as my wolf is still weakened from his fight with Cam the day before.
I get back up and go for his neck, at the last second, he drops his head, his mouth coming out to bite my raised paw, crippling me. He attacks my neck, forcing my head down, I feel the blood gushing from the wound on my neck, I back up as he digs his claws into my side, my wolf is scared, forcing a shift on me.
Curling into a ball, I watch as Honey’s father shifts back to his human self. “You stupid little boy, now I’m running behind you have cost me precious time. Did you really think you could beat me, pup?”
His fist slams into my face over and over until there is so much blood I can’t see right. He kicks my side a few times, I know I will have some broken ribs. He turns to walk away, with the last of my strength, I shout to his retreating back.
“I will rip your throat out you piece of shit!” Before darkness takes me.
