บททั้งหมดของ Marked In His Rut: The Alpha's Forgotten Omega: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

MALPHAUS. Sitting behind the broad oak desk surrounded by the pile of papers belonging to the Blasters, I made slow, deliberate scribbles on those papers. They were all of the items I intended to take for myself first.Without so much as a knock, the door swung open. Celestia entered wearing a tight black dress. She halted three paces away from my desk, where she stood, waiting. I continued reading the papers in front of me. After about a minute of silence, I tossed down the paper. It made a loud noise against the wooden desk. “Martin is still unconscious,” she stated. “The doctors say that the impact on his head was more severe than expected.” I relaxed and gazed at her. “So?” Celestia came closer and her voice dropped, making use of that sweet, soft tone that meant she was trying to make a point. “Martin is now your brother. The family should unite at a moment like this. The council gives importance to blood. Should he regain strength and be fit as ever, it would calm the el

SORA. I was standing by the stove stirring the pot of soup with my left hand while my right flipped the grilled cheese sandwiches on the pan. The smell of melted butter and tomato soup filled the kitchen. Meanwhile, Beauty had settled herself at the little table behind me where she was drawing a large blue house with three stick figures in front of it.Cole was leaning against the counter with his arms crossed and watching TV. The volume was turned down very low but I was able to hear the voice of the news anchorman saying:"….Zane Blaster, CEO of Blaster Industries, has announced his engagement to his long time family friend Mirabelle Montenegro. Sources familiar with the family state that the wedding will be taking place in less than a week in a very private but lavish setting…" Cole made a move towards the television and hit the power switch. Darkness consumed the screen.Beauty gazed up at him. "What's wrong, Uncle Cole? Is that Daddy?”Sometimes I wish she didn't know a lot o

DAMIEN.The wind hit my face hard. I ducked down instantly. Zane's body flew over my head and missed my scalp by an inch. He crashed into a wooden side table located behind me. Splinters flew across the patterned carpet."Go," Lara ordered from the foyer.I started to run toward the back exit. I stopped at the hallway corner. My curiosity anchored my feet to the floor. I turned back to face her."Best friend?" I questioned loudly. "How do you know him and I don’t?""Now is not the time.""It is the exact time. You are a complete stranger throwing my brother around the room like a rag doll. You have no scent. You have no pheromones." I pointed a finger at Zane. He pushed debris off his chest and breathed heavily on the floor. "He is acting crazy. I know that is not my brother. Explain to me what in the bloody name of miracles is happening in this house or I am staying right here.""Damien, now is not the time. You are giving him time to recover and..."Zane started laughing again. The

DAMIEN.Silence stretched long in the hallway. Celestia's words left my thoughts tangled worse than before. Her family problems meant nothing to me right now. I needed straight answers, but she kept dodging the important parts.My gaze followed her hands, they shook slightly, and caught the wide, panicked flare in her eyes. If she had looked even half this terrified when she first pushed Mirabelle and Martin to drag my family into her scheme, I might have believed her fear now. As it was, the whole thing rang false. Whatever power she chased had clearly unhinged her.She broke the quiet. “You do not believe me, do you?”I folded my arms across my chest. “No offense, lady, but with the way you have been moving, it is not that hard not to trust you.”“I would not save her if she was not my sister.”I shook my head. “You never do anything without an aim. I do not know what it is, but I am not falling for it.”I turned my back and took a step toward the staircase.“You know Zane is gone,”

SORA.I shook my head and waved my hands in front of my face to clear the bad thoughts. "It wouldn't hurt to try," I whispered to the empty air.I stared down over the edge of the building. The pavement sat two stories down. I had to leave right now before anyone noticed. Cole would never let me walk out the front door if he caught me. I looked back toward the bedroom where Beauty was sleeping. My chest hurts. I curled my fingers against the brick. Leaving my daughter behind felt terrible, but taking her anywhere near that demon would get her killed. I trusted Cole and Adam to keep her safe. I made my choice, Zane was waking up.I hurried down the clanky stairs and slipped back into the apartment. I went straight to the bedroom I shared with Beauty and knelt beside the duffel bag, digging through it for my passport.The bedroom door creaked open behind me.I froze, dropped the bag, and spun around. “Goddess! You scared me!”Adam held both hands up. “Sorry. I did not mean to start
