His Dominant Omega by Jarrett, J. (feel good books .TXT) 📕

The plan was that Cole would approach the house in human form. He’d keep the alpha distracted while the other wolves scoped out the area. They needed to find out how many pack members Drake had. Once they got a head count, the others would attack. It sounded simple enough, but best-laid plans never go as they should.

“I hate that Cole’s being used as bait.” Josef’s face was hard set as he looked at Devon.

“I don’t like it any more than you do, but it’s what we need to do to get their father out of there. We also need to take care of this alpha. He can’t be left alone to his own devices. If he gets away, what’s stopping him from going after another pack? It’ll draw attention, and the next thing we know we’re being overrun with hunters.”

“He’s right.” Cole nodded his head. “We need to end this guy no matter what.”

“I wish you would let me call my dad.” Aiden had been saying that for the past hour. There was nothing more Cole would like than to have extra backup, but it was too risky.

“Sweetheart, I’ve already told you this. Your dad and Brandon would want to bring in backup to take care of this problem, and your dad can’t protect us all. We need to handle this one on our own.”

“I understand, but it doesn’t mean I like it,” Aiden grumbled.

“Does anybody have any questions?” Devon asked. No one said a word, and Cole started to feel the pressure of the situation. They were about to head out to battle with another wolf pack, and he prayed they all made it out alive. “No? Good. Aiden, I want you to stay here with Erik where it’s safe. If I have you two out there, I won’t be able to concentrate.”

Cole thought Aiden would complain, but he didn’t. The two men shared a look, and whatever passed between them didn’t need words.

“Okay, gentlemen, let’s go.”

They all piled into a large black Escalade. Night was upon them and not a cloud in the sky. It would have been beautiful if they weren’t heading smack dab into a fight. From the sounds of it, this Drake didn’t seem like one to negotiate, and Cole hoped that whatever happened, Josef and the others made it out safe. This wasn’t their fight, and they didn’t deserve to suffer the consequences.

Two hours later they pulled up to the small town of Clayton. It was about twenty minutes from Cole’s hometown of Smithville. He couldn’t believe how close this pack lived to his family’s home.

“Don’t forget the plan.” Devon’s voice drew his attention. “Cole, just walk up to the front gate. Look as nonthreatening as possible. Keep Drake talking so we can do a quick recon of the area and get a head count of the other wolves.”

“I got it.” Cole wiped his sweaty palms down his legs. He could do this. He wasn’t like other omegas. Cole was tall and had plenty of muscle to back up his punch if he had to use his fist.

His brothers came over to him and gave him a hug. “Good luck,” Josh said as he let him go.

“Cole.” Josef pulled him to the side. “If you get a hint of any danger or if something just doesn’t seem right, shift and run as far as you can.”

Cole wanted to smack Josef in the head for even bringing that up as an option. “I love you, and you must know I can’t do that.” He reached up and planted a kiss on his mate’s lips. “You’re my mate, and this is our pack. We stand together and fight together. We are nothing if we don’t have our loyalty to one another.” He couldn’t believe how much he sounded like his father right then. A man was only as good as his word and his honor.

“God you’re stubborn.” Josef flicked him on the nose. “But I guess that’s why I love you.”

“Probably.” Cole shared one last kiss with his mate then let him go.

Cole took a couple calming breaths. He looked to Devon, and the alpha gave him one stiff nod. Cole started walking up the road that led to the two-story brick house this Drake guy called home. The closer he got he could see the shine from the outdoor lights. A wrought-iron gate ran along the property and in front of the house. He could see and smell two wolves standing at the front gate.

Schooling his face to one of utter calm, Cole walked right up to the men. He had to keep his face impassive as to not give anything away.

“Excuse me,” Cole called out. The men turned in his direction. “I’m here to see Drake.”

One of the men smiled, showing off yellow stained teeth. “Well if it ain’t the omega our alpha’s been looking for.” The man advanced toward him, and Cole didn’t much care for the wild gleam in the man’s eyes. He unmasked his scent and let his calming ability flow through his body. Not every wolf was susceptible to his scent, but he had to hope it didn’t fail him now.

Cole watched as the man stopped walking, shook his head, and let his arms fall to the side. “Let me call Drake down.” The man headed for the gate and opened it up. “Please just follow me.”

The other man just dipped his chin in greeting as Cole passed, and he figured he had overcome this one small hurdle. Now he had to see if he could get Drake to succumb to him, but it wasn’t likely. Alphas were mentally strong and not easy to manipulate.

He followed
