Typical Society bastards treating their Omega’s like they were property instead of the strong and capable women they are.
Memories assaulted me, threatening to take me back into the past. But I couldn’t drown in them right now.
I had to focus on Alena. She needed me. Neededus.
Stories about my past were bound to come up once she learned my last name.
Yet another thing to worry about. We had to show her that we are her mates. The alphas and beta she is destined to be with.
Then the past could be erased.
I jerked open my door and made my way into my closet. ”I know it’s here somewhere. Ah!”
I pulled out the pair of pink socks that were given to me as a gag gift by Julian. Meant to be flamingos, they were trimmed in a lighter pink fluff and had black dots for eyes and even a beak popping out of the toes.
They were horrendous, but they’d do the trick for now until Charles could return. When Alena fell asleep, I’d go out and select more for her myself. I had to make sure they were the softest and most luxurious.
Only the best for our omega.
Never again would she be treated as less. As if she were property.
When I returned to the living room, Elias had applied the ointment and wrapped the wounds in a soft gauze. Doc also gave us instructions to change the dressings and carefully wash them each day.
I’m sure there would be a fight over who got to do that each day. Maybe we needed to come up with a system. Draw straws or some shit like that. I’d discuss it with Elias and the others once we got Alena settled.
“Found them.” I smiled at Alena as I knelt at her feet beside Elias. “Charles is out for some better ones, but I want your feet covered and protected before then.”
Her brows drew together, her confusion one of the most adorable things I’d ever witnessed in my life. “Are those…” she paused before her eyes widened. “Flamingos?”
Her eyes brightened, and she practically bounced on the couch. “I love flamingos. They’re my favorite animal.”
Her smile was infectious and soon, all of us were grinning like loons.
Even Xavier. That was only a tad bit creepy. Usually he only smiled when there was blood and carnage involved.
“I shall make sure to order lots of flamingo items for your room.” I gently took her foot from Elias and eased the socks on. I managed to only make her wince once, although she hid it well.
Just another thing to blame the damn Society for.
Letting out a sigh, I lifted her legs and sat down on the couch with them on top of my thighs.
“Sweetheart. You don’t have to tell us anything you don’t want to, but I need to know. Do you feel safe with us? Is there anything we can do to make you more comfortable?”
Alena shook her head rapidly. “No. You guys actually make me feel really safe.”
“We know you come from Society.” I licked my lips, unsure of how to follow that up. I knew I needed to tread carefully, but we needed to know more about her. I craved to help her through every nightmare, and be her light in the darkness. She just needed to open up to us. “But know that we have a top of the line security system and no one will ever get to you while you’re with us.”
She nodded, her thumb coming up to rub one of the smaller scars just about her lips. “I’m—“ she hesitated, panic gripping her face that was bright just moments ago.
Damn it. I knew I should have waited. I deserved a nice slap across the face for pushing her and asking the question.
Julian knelt on the floor and took one of her hands into his. “No, baby girl. You don’t need to tell us anything right now. Just know you’re safe. We aren’t going to pressure you into anything right now. We just want you safe.”
Murmurs of agreement echoed from the rest of us. “Are you hungry, love? What kind of food do you like? I'm an excellent cook.” I flashed her a bright smile, hoping I could lighten the mood once more.
“I’m not picky,” she replied, shrugging.
“Nope.” I shook my head leaning forward to boop her nose. “I want to know what your favorite meal is. Mexican? Italian? A nice juicy burger and chips?”
