All Chapters of His Elusive Omega, His Resolute Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Oh, no.I recognized that voice.If I were an animal, my hackles would've been raised already. But I was only human, and my instincts screamed at me that I was in danger. "Kellin," I turned, pushing down on the need to flee and standing tall. Standing my ground. Kellin stood in front of me, looking like rage personified. His eyes were narrowed to slits, and his nostrils flared. His whole body was taut like a bow string. On either side of him were two other Alpha men, both glaring at me with such disdain that I wondered if I had personally offended them somehow. But that would be impossible, because I have never seen them before in my life. I looked around, scoping my environment. There was no one else around, and I had wandered off quite a distance from the library. There were only a few lights around, and the buildings were all closed up for the night. Kellin and his cronies had cornered me in a deserted area. I felt my skin get mottled with goosebumps. Shit, it never set a go

The doctor wanted Adam to stay in the infirmary overnight.He, too, urged Adam to tell him if he had been harassed, because anyone with brains could see that Adam could not have gotten a damned black eye and a broken nose from merely tripping and falling. There was another bruise blossoming on his other cheek as well.But Adam was adamant in keeping his mouth shut. He kept insisting that it really was a fall, and finally, the doctor got tired of it and just treated him.I was reluctant to leave him alone in the infirmary, although I knew that he wouldn’t really be alone because the overnight nurse stayed there as well, but still, it felt wrong just to leave him. I didn’t even know why I was feeling like that. He was a grown man who could handle such a minor injury on his nose, but still, seeing the cast over his nose and the bruise around his blue eye, my heart just twinged.I was so angry as well, and I blamed myself. I knew I shouldn't have let him go out alone, but I thought that I

I felt uneasy throughout my journey to Briarwood town.Although I hadn’t intended to go to the town, as the errands I told Kellin about were nonexistent, something told me that I had better follow through with my lie. It was because of that reason that I decided to forego pre-planned trip to the security office. I’d go there after meeting Adam.I didn’t know if I were to believe Kellin or not. I wanted to, and his reasons made sense. He was a hothead, which was precisely why he could’ve gotten into a fight with just about anyone. But he was always careful not to have any fights on campus grounds.But my gut told me he wasn’t telling the truth.I went to the supermarket. My weekly shopping was done, so I made a beeline to the sweets and snacks aisle and picked up a tin of Chuppats. I didn’t know if Adam had finished the last one I’d got him, or if he was still angsting over it.But the lunatic said that it was his favorite snack. How any living being with taste buds could bear to eat th

I was so engrossed in our conversation that when my phone buzzed with an incoming call, I flinched. For a moment, I just stared at the phone screen, trying to process the sudden change.I felt like I’d been given too much information with not enough time to understand it.The phone screen glowed with a number that had no name. I blinked at it and looked back at Elara. It was strange. I never got calls from unknown numbers. Hell, most of the calls I got were from my parents because all my friends texted.“I’m sorry,” I said. “But I need to take it.”Elara nodded, and I answered the phone.“Hello?”“Is this Adam Kennedy?” a familiar voice came from the other side, and my eyes widened a little.“Colton,” I breathed. Speak of the devil. “Yeah, it’s me. How did you get this number?”Elara’s brows raised, and she stood up from her chair. Then she wandered away to give me some privacy. I mouthed a ‘thank you’ at her.“I have my ways,” Colton replied mysteriously. “You sound as rough as you lo

I looked at my reflection, wishing that I could just take off my suit and drive all the way back to Oregon.It was a pretty good suit, all things considered. I knew that I wasn't a bad-looking guy, and the suit did wonders for my shoulders. It was off-the-rack, although the expensive kind, because I hadn't attended the suit fitting my sister had scheduled. On any other day, I would've been happy for an opportunity to dress up and go to a party, especially somewhere as bougie as the venues Maya had chosen for her wedding. Say what you will about my sister, but at least she had some good taste. The only saving grace about this whole debacle was the fact that August was based in New York, and because his family was way more prominent than mine when it came to size, he and Maya had come to the decision to have the wedding in New York.That saved me from making a trip home. After learning what my parents had done behind my back, I haven’t been home, and the very thought of stepping into
