The Stained Omega

Chapter 60

A friends worry.

(Eliza)

Tucking Thomas into the spare bed I can’t help but think how I just betrayed one of his parents. I

wanted nothing more than to tell Anna what I had walked in on but the words wouldn’t leave my mouth.

I know telling her would betray my Alpha but not telling her betrays our friendship. A friendship I value

above almost anything else, the only thing I would place higher is my family.

I’m not talking about the ones who I grew up with. I mean the man who has brought me back from the

brink many times over. Anna was my only link to this pack for a long time and then I met Patrick. In a

short space of time he broke down every wall I had carefully erected around myself. He had shattered

every glass bubble I had placed around my heart and he had shown me that even someone as broken

as me can get and deserve love.

I should probably tell Patrick about everything I have seen but even the thought of telling him sends

fear running through my veins. It’s not like Fraction forbid me from tell anyone but I just know that if I do

he will be extremely mad. He’s changed lately, gone is the Alpha who doted on my friend like she hung

the sun, moon and stars. Now he’s a mean drunk who sits alone doing Goddess only knows what. Well

I guess today I found out what considering what I walked in on.

I don’t even know how it’s possible for him to be with another woman. Once mated it’s physically

impossible for a wolf to cheat, it’s ingrained into the fabric of who we are. Causing our mates pain RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

sure how Fraction broke it.

“That’s some deep thinking for tuck in time.” I hear whispered from behind me. Goosebumps go up my

spine at Patrick’s words, turning around I seeing him standing in the doorway in nothing but a pair of

flannel sleep pants.

“I told Anna we would watch him for a few days.” I tell Patrick as I walk from the room and pull the door

closed behind me. “Her and Fraction need some alone time.”.

“Is she going to pull the bug from his as s?” He asks while leading me to our bedroom with a hand on

my lower back.

“You’ve noticed the change in him too?”I ask while pulling the covers. back in the bed and climbing in.

“Not really a change…more like a totally different man. He had met training Anna harder and faster

than I have ever trained someone.” Patrick says as he settles in the bed beside me, “Anna has

changed

too.”

“You think?” I ask him while looking down at my hands, if I look him. in the eye he will know I’m

withholding stuff from him.

“She’s crumbling under the pressure I’m putting on her. I think the training is too much.” Patrick sounds

so sad. like he’s personally responsible for our Lunas happiness.

“I don’t think it’s you Patrick. You said yourself that Fraction hast changed lately, that’s got to have put

some strain on the relationship.” I tell him, I have a burning need to tell him what I saw Fraction doing.

but the words won’t leave my mouth.

“Has Anna said anything to you?” I just look at him with wide eyes, “come on kitten. Talk to me.” A part

of me melts when he calls me

kitten, you would think a wolf would hate being called a feline but honestly it makes every part of me

pay attention to him.

“Anna was pretty upset tonight, that’s why we have Thomas.” I tell him as he runs his fingers through

the ends of my hair, he makes a noise in the back of his throat to tell me he’s listening. “She thinks…”

How am I meant to say this, “she thinks Fraction is sleeping with someone else.” I don’t know what I

expect but Patrick bursting out in a massive belly filled laugh is not it, he has actual tears rolling down

his face from how hard he’s laughing. “It’s not funny!” I say jabbing him in the side.

“Ow!” He grumps rubbing where I poked him, I know it didn’t hurt, “I’ m serious! She was frantic, when I

got to the pack house she was on the floor crying.”

“There is just no way, none at all. One Fraction wouldn’t cheat and two they are fated true mates.

Cheating just doesn’t happen between true mates.” What he’s saying is not wrong, it should be

impossible but I definitely saw it. If I hadn’t made myself known for another minute. then I’m pretty sure

Fraction would have had her pants off and would have been sliding deep into her.

“Maybe we are wrong and it is possible.” I muse aloud.

“We aren’t wrong, it would take some serious witchy voodoo to make a mate cheat.” I smile at him.

“Witches aren’t real.” I say settling further into the bed.

“And neither are cheating mates.” He says pulling me into him.

Laid there wrapped in Patrick I try to find some peace so I can fall asleep. It doesn’t come. I feel wound

tight and like every nerve on my b*dy is on fire. Carefully deltangling going myself from Patrick I slide.

my feet into my slippers and make my way down the stairs and to the the stairs and to the kitchen.

Maybe some warm milk will help me settle. I get all the way

to the kitchen before I sense him, it’s the whiskey smell that hits me first and then the vibes of rage and

hostility coming off him.

“Fraction.” I say turning around seeing him sitting in the lounge chair.

“Eliza. We need to talk.” He says with a slur.

“Might be a conversation best had when you’re sober.” I tell him. truthfully, even with the light off I can

tell he’s hammered.

“You can’t tell Anna what you saw.” I nod my head at this

“So damage control is it? And what if I do tell her? You will kill me?” He stands up and comes over to

me.

“Go d no. I just need time to tell her myself. I just need to figure out how.” The smell of whiskey is even

stronger now he’s breathing over

me.

“You mean figure out how to lie about it, didn’t you already do that?” He goes to grab me but I jump

back away from him.

“Just…just don’t tell her. Ok?” He whispers, stepping back from me, it’s like he’s trying to control

himself. Something is really wrong with him.

“So you want me to lie to my best friend and Luna.” I ask him.

“No! I’m asking you to trust your Alpha.” He says before turning around and leaving the house.

“But I don’t.” I whisper to his retreating form, from the way his. shoulders slump I know he heard me.
