Omega Bound

For ten long years, I hadn't made a single sound. Not when the warden dragged me by my snow-white hair across the concrete floor. Not when he broke my ribs. Not when I was locked in a pitch-black cage underground. Silence was my only weapon. If I didn't scream, I denied them their twisted pleasure. Even after Alpha Thane rescued me, I kept my lips tightly sealed. I was a broken Omega, too terrified of the world to speak. But Thane never pushed me. He just sat beside my bed, his massive frame radiating a comforting scent of pine and earth, patiently passing a notepad back and forth so we could talk. He called me his "little wolf." He made me feel safe for the first time in a decade. Until the night of the ambush. We were walking back to the pack house when the sharp crack of a sniper rifle shattered the quiet night. I froze, my PTSD paralyzing my limbs. But Thane didn't hesitate. He threw his massive body over mine just as the silver bullet tore through the air. I heard the sickening thud of metal piercing flesh. Hot, sticky blood splattered across my cheek. Thane collapsed heavily onto the ground, his deep green eyes losing their focus as he looked up at me, still trying to shield my body with his own. No. The mental chains I had locked around my throat for ten years suddenly shattered into a million pieces. The fear that had kept me mute was instantly swallowed by a blinding, suffocating despair. I couldn't lose him. I couldn't lose the only light in my dark world. Tears finally spilled from my teal eyes. I threw myself over his bleeding chest, tearing my throat open as I let out my first sound in a decade—a raw, agonizing, blood-curdling scream: "THANE—NO!!!" 😭💔 His eyes flickered at the sound of my voice. But the silver was already spreading through his veins... ad.readinkapp.com Omega Bound
