An Omegas Hope

It's Stacey

Alex

I'm f*****g livid. It was enough that Stacey was talking s**t to Emma about me, but to attack her, to call her fat? I don't agree with hurting women, but f**k It took everything I had to hold myself and Nate back.

I pull Emma along to my room and straight into the bathroom. She hasn't said a word since it happened, but I have a feeling that it's affected her. I grip her hips and hoist her up onto the sink unit before I hock a finger under her chin and lift her head up, so I can take a better look at her lip.

"It doesn't need stitches, I'll clean it up, and it should be healed in a few hours." She nods her head and a single tear slides down her cheek. I wipe it away with my thumb but soon more are pouring out of her eyes, and it's killing me.

She doesn't say a word as she hops off the unit and walks out of my bathroom and straight out the bedroom door. I want to call after her, I want to hug her until she stops crying, I want to take her pain away, and I want to bring Jay back and make him suffer all over again, but I can't.

I wish I knew how to help her, but I'm at a loss, and I'm worried that she's losing herself, but more than that, I'm worried that I'm losing her. I know now's not the time to think about a future with Emma, but I can't help it. I've wanted it since the moment I met her, and I'm worried more than anything that she won't want it, won't want me. Instead of running after her, I decided to give her some time to herself. I'll take a shower and then go check on her.

Twenty minutes later, I'm showered and feeling more relaxed, not that Emma has left my mind even for a moment. When I've only got my boxers, socks, and jeans on, I get distracted by my bedroom door opening. Hoping it's Emma, I quickly leave my closet, but I'm greeted by the unpleasant sight of Stacey laying naked on my bed, and I'm instantly pissed.

"Stacey, what are you doing here? Why aren't you with the doc?" she has a cocky smirk on her face, and it honestly makes me want to throw up. f**k, this girl grates on me!

"Do you really think someone like Emma can keep me down for long?" I feel my temper rise, but I bite my tongue and try to remember the manners I was raised with.

"Stacey, how many times are you going to do this?" This has happened many times since I've been here but more than ever since Jay died. I don't know if she's realized that I like Emma or not, but she has definitely upped her game since it all happened.

"As many times as it takes for you to realize it's what you want Beta Alex." her purring tone makes me want to throw up and throw her out of my room.

"I'm not a Beta anymore and there's nothing for me to realize, Stacey. I've told you more than once that we aren't going to happen, and I'm not going to change my mind so why don't you concentrate on hoping you get a second chance mate, and leave me alone!"

"Huh, how did-"

"I've known since I first came here about you rejecting your first mate and the reasons for it and believe me when I say it doesn't make me think any good of you. Now, get out of my room, and don't let this happen again Stacey, I f*****g mean it!"

My voice has risen along with my anger, my tone leaving no room for argument and, thankfully, she quickly realizes I'm not messing. She gets dressed and leaves without saying a word, and I'm instantly relieved until I see she's left her jacket on the bed. I don't know if she's left it behind on purpose for an excise to come back or if it's just an accident, but either way, I don't want it here.

I quickly run after her but the moment I open my door and call out to her, I want the ground to open up and swallow me. Standing only a few feet away, I see Emma and for a moment she looks so sad before she masks it up, plasters on a smile that I know is fake as I watch her walk away in the opposite direction of my room, f**k!

Emma

I take a long hot shower, the water is so hot it's burning my skin, but I'm too f*****g angry to even realize it. Of all people, I let Stacey get to me. I let her stupid f*****g comment remind me of Jay and pull me down into the darkness and I completely blanked Alex after he helped me yet again. I didn't even say goodbye to him, I just walked away from him. f**k, I'm a b***h.

Well, I've had enough. It's time to be me again. Emma, the top warrior of the Blue Lake Pack. No more tears for the prick who didn't give a f**k about me, no more sadness over what he has done or what he called me. I'm stronger than that, stronger than him. He's dead, and he can't hurt me anymore.

But by living how I am, I'm still letting him win, but not anymore. It's time to take back control and, with that, it's also time to find out how Alex really feels about me, even if he only wants me as a friend I need to know. I need to start living my life again and moving forward and, if my instinct is right, Alex will be a part of that.

While I still have my courage, I quickly throw on a black knee-length wool dress, black pantyhose, and black ankle boots. I leave my long blonde hair hanging down my back, then add some mascara and lip gloss, and then I head straight for Alex's room before I can talk myself out of it.

I'm soon on his floor, but the moment I turn around the corner to get to his room I instantly regret ever leaving my room as I literally bump into none other than f*****g Stacey. We both step back, but I'm not going to let her drag me into another argument, so I step to the side intending to let her pass, but of course, this is Stacey, and she never wants any peace in life.

She moves to the side so that she's now standing back in front of me, causing Zoe to start snarling and growling in my head, wanting to tear her throat out. "Get out of the way Stacey!" She gives me her perfected snake grin before stepping forward until we are practically touching and leans in towards my ear making me want to grip her by her throat and break her f*****g neck.

"I'm only going to say this once, so listen up b***h! You made a big mistake f*****g with me, you stupid Omega. Just because you don't like the truth, you attack me. It's not my fault you can't stand the truth, and it's not my fault that it's me Alex wants and not you!"

"You really are f*****g bat s**t crazy." I'm laughing so hard I can barely get my words out. "Yeah, well, if that's true, then why have I just come from Alex's room where he has made love to me, told me he loves me, and has officially made me his chosen mate." the s**t that falls out of this girls mouth just keeps getting better and better. "Oh, f**k off Stacey. You are so desperate that I'm actually starting to feel sorry for you!"

"Believe what you want, Emma. Alex has just told me he was fighting it because he knows you like him, and he doesn't want to hurt your feelings, but it's me he wants, it's me he loves. If you don't believe me, then go ahead and let yourself into his bedroom where you'll find my jacket on his bed and my panties underneath it." she winks at me with her twisted grin and I just want to slap it off her face.

"Stacey, you left your jacket here!" before I can say anymore, the door to Alex's bedroom opens, and he walks out shirtless carrying her jacket and I literally feel my heart split in two. I mask my hurt and hope neither of them has seen it, but my throat is dry, and I know that if I try to speak I will break down, so I do the only thing I can at that moment. I walk away, feeling lost and, more than anything, feeling heartbroken.

Alex

"What the f**k have you done, Stacey?" Emma knows how Stacey acts towards me, so for her to walk away with that crushing look on her face can only lead me to assume that Stacey has played this game of hers well.

"Nothing, baby just told her some home truths that she needed to hear."

"What did you tell her, Stacey?" my anger is rising quicker than ever before while Nates banging f**k out of my head because I won't let him out.

"The truth baby, only the truth!" before I can say another word she blows me a kiss and walks off swaying her hips like she thinks it's my biggest turn-on when, in fact, it just makes me want to throw up. f**k!

I try to link Emma, but it's not going through. I quickly run back into my room and throw on a tee shirt and sneakers before grabbing my phone and heading out to find Emma. I've called and linked her so many times that I've lost count. She's already suffering and, without knowing exactly what Stacey has said to her, I can only imagine the worst. I need to find her and I need to find her now!
