Resistant Omegas 5: Dewey by Joyee Flynn (book club suggestions TXT) 📕

knew his sadistic Beta is going to end up killing me and wanted him to focus on something other than me. Two, if I belonged to someone else for the week, the Alpha didn’t have to deal with me and the other Beta could solely kiss his ass. Three, my Alpha was just a rat bastard. Four, he liked to keep the pack in good fighting condition so if something ever happened and the Council found out what he’d been up to, then he’s got soldiers to fight.

That was why Taggart and I had to put on a show for the Alpha so he never found out that we were really in love. I know it tore my man up inside that he had to treat me so poorly in public, and he begged me to run away with him. But I just couldn’t do that to him. If we ran, he’d be a dead man walking if anyone ever found us. And so would I.

“Wanna have sex while we wait?” my Beta asked quietly. I gave him points for asking, but my answer was still the same.

“Not really,” I answered quietly as I leaned against him. He wasn’t a bad guy in the sense he was evil… He was just screwed up in the head. “Ryan had me last week and he did a number on me. I hurt in ways I didn’t think possible.”

“Yeah, I saw the new marks and how you were limping. I hope he doesn’t get you again.” He didn’t look at me but he didn’t move either so I could stay standing by using him to lean on. I hoped Ryan didn’t get me again either. He was another fuck head. Ryan didn’t like sex unless the man under him was screaming in pain. I couldn’t even count how many bones of mine he’d broken when I’d belonged to him.

Right now both my ankles were still healing and he’d dislocated my shoulder. Taggart was going to freak when he found out. And then blame himself for not getting to me first. It wasn’t his fault though. He was a special kind of wolf as well and our Alpha was threatened by him. So he remedied that by drugging Taggart with wolfsbane to keep his strength to that of a normal wolf or less.

Did I mention my life sucked?

I was having trouble not collapsing when I saw four wolves burst through the tree line. Taggart was in the lead and while that made me want to cry with relief, I saw Ryan was right on his heels, trying to bite his flank.

“Man, Taggart really has a hard-on for you,” the Beta mumbled. “I know you’ve got that hot, tight little ass, but he acts almost like you’re dating.”

“Yeah, I normally date rapists.” I snorted and shook my head, trying to pull off my disdain act while my stomach knotted. “He’s just as bad to me as Ryan or worse.”

“That blows.” I knew the guy was trying to sound sympathetic but mostly he just seemed bored. As long as everyone never found out that Taggart and I were in love, they wouldn’t keep us apart.

Speaking of Taggart, right when he was within a hundred yards of me, he spun in a fantastic move to take Ryan out. He grabbed the smaller wolf by the neck in his jaw and whipped him back behind Taggart. He never broke stride, slowed down, or acted as if it fazed him.

My man had moves that no one could rival. Especially our Alpha. Taggart would have long since challenged him if he wasn’t being drugged regularly. I worried about the permanent damage the wolfsbane could do to him. But as things were, he might not win the fight against our Alpha and I wasn’t willing to take that risk. Plus, the Alpha fought dirty. If he knew he had a challenger, some type of accident would happen to the guy.

I’d seen it before.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Taggart was now right on us and leapt at me. He shifted on the fly and knocked me to the ground, catching me before I hit dirt in a way no one else could see. To everyone else it looked like he’d given me one hell of a tackle.

“I win,” he snarled against my neck as he spread my legs. “I beat everyone else and I get the prize.”

“As the inner circle witness, I deem you the winner. Have fun with him,” the Beta replied and stepped back. The wolves who had lost were slowly catching up, along with our Alpha. We knew we were going to have an audience so we had to make it look good.

I searched the faces that had gathered and found our Alpha. “Please,” I begged as Taggart moved to line up his cock to my hole. “Limit what he can do to me. I don’t deserve to suffer when I’ve been so obedient. He’s always too rough and Ryan broke more bones.”

“If I decree no more broken bones and cutting you when they have you will you stop your constant whining?” He was thoroughly annoyed. I’d guess that he was mostly annoyed that he was sporting wood when he was supposedly very straight.

“Yes, Alpha,” I said, giving a relieved smile and sigh. “I will be good and whine no more if you put those restrictions in. I understand the need to use me, I just don’t want someone to break your investment in keeping the pack strong.”

“Too right. You cost us a small fortune,” he grumbled before facing everyone else. “I decree that the Omega shall no longer be abused in the extreme sense during his time with the winners.” I winced… That meant his Beta still could. “No more using blades and breaking of bones. He won’t last us long enough to make us all gods if he is damaged.”

Everyone nodded in agreement though I could see Ryan was less than thrilled. The Alpha
