I Hit His Balls By Accident—Now This Taken Alpha's Obsessed With Marking Me?!

I'm still standing there in a daze when Penny bursts into the room . " What happened ? " she asks . " I'm not sure . " My voice sounds distant , even to me . I look at the spot where Tristan was standing just seconds ago , wishing I could reach into the past and physically stop myself from pulling down that waistband Stupid . I was so stupid . Penny walks over and kneels , picking up the rosebud I abandoned . " What were you doing with this ? " " Oh . That . " I latch onto the excuse , actually relieved she reminded me . " Tristan wanted me to try earth magic again . " ' And ? " ' And ...

I couldn't . " I shrug , forcing a smile that definitely looks fake . " Looks like I'm an Omega . Just like you . " Penny's expression softens , but there's a shadow there . " I'd say being an Omega isn't bad , but ... " She trails off . She doesn't have to finish the sentence . We both now the punchline . Have you ever wanted to get out of here ? " I ask suddenly . " To just leave and never come back ? " she shifts , looking uncomfortable . " I don't know . Sure , I've thought about it . But go where ? I'd never fit in the human world , and no other pack takes in unaway Omegas .

" She sighs , " I belong to Pine Valley . For life . " You talk about it like you're their property . " As an Omega , " she says , meeting my eyes , " I basically am . " After she says it , the reality of my situation sets in . f I stay in Pine Valley , I'll be trapped here , like Penny and the other omegas . Or worse , if Tristan's eaction to my star mark is anything to go by . need to get out . glance at the window , set in my decision , then look back at Penny . " I'm fried , " I say , faking a yawn . " It's been a hell of a day . Would you mind ... letting me crash in here tonight ?

Alone ? " he corners of her lips turn up . " You asking me to take the couch ? " f that's okay ? " I hold my breath . he glances at the rosebud in her hand , thinking it over . " Sure , " she says finally . " Just promise me one thing . " Name it . " Try not to kill any more of my plants . " enny's Dad stumbles back in around nine , and the house shuts down by ten . Penny has school her parents have work . should be sleeping , getting ready for my " first day " at the Park Tavern . But there won't be a first day . By tomorrow morning I plan to be well on my way back > Florida .

Wail rapter 21 lie in the dark , staring at the ceiling , listening to the house settle . It groans and ticks . From the living room , I hear the muffled sounds of the FV , then ventually , the heavy , rhythmic snoring of Garrett on the recliner . Midnight hits . slip out of bed . raid Penny's closet by feel , grabbing a fleece jacket and a pair of sneakers . They're a size too big , but I tie the laces so tight they cut into my circulation . Better han losing a shoe while running for my life . creep toward the window . have to be careful - Penny's plants are everywhere .

I pick them up one by one , placing them gently on the floor next to me . My body is a bundle of nerves . This is the part I can't mess up . If they hear me , it's game over . I steady my hands , unlock the latch , and slowly push the window up . Freak . The sound makes me freeze . I hold my breath , listening . It'll be okay , I tell myself , trying to talk my heart rate down . If she comes in , I'll just say I needed fresh air . A minute passes . Then another . No one comes . I send a silent thank you to whatever force in the universe is looking out for me .

Pretty sure I'm in the clear , I push the window up the rest of the way , moving slow enough to not make any more noise . The crisp winter air hits my face . feeling fresh . Welcoming . The opening isn't huge , but neither am I. I scoot through it, careful not to scrape against the frame . I land on the dead grass outside , crouching low against the house so no one can see me through the windows. My heart is pounding with exhilaration . I'm out . ( 1 ) ( 0 ) admin
