Again, she doesn’t make the rules.
“Okay,” she whispers, not willing to engage in an argument. Her cheek still burns from the slap as she cradles her face. “Thanks.”
“Go home. Get rest, Hazel. And throw those things away.”
She nods and blinks away the tears that fill her eyes.
When the guard leaves, she drives back to her apartment, numb with shock.
It’s not my fault. I didn’t do this.
She can’t control if a child presents as an Alpha, right?
If she had it her way, he would never be sent to the island. He would have a normal life, one where he could choose who he wants to be.
A life where he’s a Beta, and nothing more.
Yet, if her suspicions are correct…
How could they do that to achild?
It made sense for so many years. Alphas aredifferent.They’re stronger, more agile, and more powerful than the average Beta human.
But they’re also ruled by their impulses and primal needs. They’re quick to anger and violence.
They can be downright barbaric.
So, a specialized exclusive branch of the military is the best place for them, according to the United States.
Even if it’s theonlychoice for them.
But a seven-year-oldsoldier?
Or maybe it’s something worse. Maybe they’ve decided to experiment on him to figure out why a child could present so young…
“Shit,” she hisses as she rides the elevator to her apartment floor. Her hand shakes as the keypad scans her fingerprints and the door swings open to her modest residence.
Her specialized apartment was provided to her by Lincoln City with the expectation that she stays within the city walls.
She never really had a choice either once she presented—but it’s nice to not have to pay rent.
Still, the lack of bills doesn’t distract from the fact that she’s an Omega, and it’s an inconvenience in more ways than one.
She locks the door behind herself and flops onto her couch, desperate to ignore the throbbing of her cheek. Distracting herself, she opens her laptop and checks her email. When she sees a recent message sent from the principal, her heart sinks.
Miss Wolfe,
Due to recent events, we have terminated our contract with you. Your final paycheck will be delivered to you within twenty-four hours.
Please do not make this difficult. This is for the well-being of the children and for yourself.
Her heart breaks.
The best part of her day, hell, the best part of herlifesince she presented was teaching. Those children are her entire world, and they’re taking them away from her?
No.
She was already falling apart after Connor’s disappearance.
