“You’re an Omega.”
I could have told him that.
“And I have Alphas,” I mutter to the wall.
He stops rubbing my back.
“They didn’t treat you right,” he snaps. “They were too busy with their stupidInn.”
“It was mine, too,” I murmur. “It was myhome. And you tore me away from it.”
I close my eyes, hopelessness filling my heart.
“They didn’t mate you, though,” he insists. “If they really cared about you, they would have claimed you. And they didn’t.”
Which was my fault.
All my fucking fault.
I ran away from them, terrified of having a family, and Michael—Clyde—conveniently ran me off the road before I could give them my answer.
Which would have been yes.
I would have come back and told them yes, that I wanted to belong to them, heart and soul.
But instead…
“Why did you write the letters?” I ask him. “You hurt themandmy best friend.”
“So they would stop looking for you,” he sighs. “So, they couldn’t tear us apart. You wouldn’t believe how many drafts I made to mimic your handwriting just right.”
Suddenly, he sits up off the bed and kneels in front of me, his crazed eyes meeting mine. “But you had to go off and run back to them anyway,” he spits. “Even after what I told you.”
Something in him shifts, and his eyes narrow. “The problem isn’t with me,” he declares, and my eyes widen in disbelief. “The problem isyoudon’t know how to accept healthy love.”
My mouth falls open at his audacity. “If your idea of love is lying to me about who I am, I don’t want it.”
His eye twitches and his chest heaves.
Stupid! Why would you run your mouth?
I close my eyes, bracing for the blow, but it never comes.
He storms out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
I’m left alone on the bed with my hands still tied.

It’sdifficult to keep my eyes open for long, and I think I have a concussion.
Every time I blink, a jolt of pain extends up my jaw and to the side of my head.
I could use some pain medication, but who knows what else he would put into it.
I don’t even trust the water bottle he left for me.
The sun creeps in behind the curtains, and I realize I’ve slept all night.
