They’d turned my life upside down and made me feel like I was nothing more than an omega for the first time in my life.
As I crawled to the bathroom, there was a moment when I felt like I could see with crystal clear clarity why my father had done what he had.
He must have been a victim of his own hormones and pheromones, just like me.
Not that I could ever understand what a normal omega had to go through when I’d only had five heats over the last fifteen years, but this one had me acting like a completely different person and I didn’t know how to come to terms with that. Not when I’d been on my own for so long, living in my own world to make sure I didn’t make the same mistakes my father did.
I managed to crawl a few more steps before my arms and legs started shaking so badly I couldn’t crawl at all anymore, and I stayed there in that pathetic position on the floor, silently screaming at myself to just keep going. One more inch. Then another. All we had to do was get there and wash it all away until there was nothing left. Then we could pretend it never happened.
But I couldn’t. I was too weak, and every second I didn’t have Cassius touching me made the pain I’d felt earlier creep back in until I wanted to scream.
Strong arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me up. Cassius shifted my weight effortlessly until I was cradled against his chest as he carried me to the bathroom. “Would it really kill you to ask for my help?”
“Maybe.” At the very least it would make me feel even more pathetic than I already did. “Please put me down. I can do it myself.”
“Eventually, you probably could. I just don’t see why you have to.” Cassius tightened his hold on me enough that the pain of that never-ending emptiness started to ease again, and I buried my face in his chest, wishing I hadn’t heard him.
My eyes burned. I was dangerously close to crying again, but the sound of the water turning on helped keep the tears at bay for a little while longer.
I didn’t have the guts to ask Cassius why he was here when Liam wasn’t, or how he and Liam could do this at all – why Liam had called him like he’d known I would need more and had planned for it.
How could he have possibly known?
Then the memory of Cas’s cock in my mouth hit me like a fucking truck and I swallowed down the groan that nearly escaped me. We were both naked and covered in our pheromones, my slick, and their semen. The last thing I needed to do was provoke him into fucking me again when I was all over the place emotionally.
I wasn’t even sure they’d wanted to do what they already had for me. They were alphas and I was an omega. This was probably nothing more than a duty for them. I was work, and they just happened to be the only ones who could do it.
What I’d seen on their faces and in their eyes…I’d been so fucking out of my mind I couldn’t be sure I hadn’t imagined what I’d seen, and what they’d said? It was easy for them to say anything under the influence of my pheromones.
They might not have chosen to be with me if it hadn’t been for the pheromones of an omega in heat.
Cassius gently placed me in the bathtub and I wrapped my arms around my legs, resting my head on my knees. The water was nice and warm, but not too hot. It was comforting, but lonely.
Never in a million years would I have thought Cassius would climb into the bathtub with me, but it was exactly what I needed even if I didn’t deserve it.
He settled me in front of him with his legs on either side of me and then one of his massive hands held my neck just like the night before, sliding up until he was gripping my jaw and shoving my chin up. The way he forced me to look at him was intoxicating and I couldn’t keep myself from gasping like the omega I was.
The omega I never thought I could be.
I stared into those psychotic blue eyes and found nothing. There wasn’t a single drop of concern or empathy. Not even desire. His soul was empty, but he was still here, taking care of me.
I couldn’t help but ask, “Is this also part of your job description?”
Even that didn’t get a rise out of him and all I wanted to do was make him angry. I had no idea why, but I wanted someone to feel the same way I did. I wanted him to feel guilt and regret, just like me.
Why would I want that though when he’d done nothing wrong?
“Do you feel like we forced you?” His question shocked me enough that all those self-destructive feelings evaporated.
Did Cassius really think he’d forced me to do any of that?
“No, I don’t,” I managed, swallowing hard when his intense gaze pierced right through me.
Closing my eyes was the only way to hide from him. Somehow, Cassius could see everything. He was always watching and waiting.
If he kept staring into my eyes like that, he’d see that my soul was just as empty as his. There was nothing left of me – nothing left that made any sense. Everything I’d done for the last fifteen years, everything I’d endured…
“Why are you acting like this then?”
