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

“One day they’ll kill you or take you away from me and I couldn’t survive that. Let me help you and get us out of here.”

“I contacted the Council through the new Omega Network,” I informed him, trying to give him any hope. “It’s being run by a few Omegas and their inner circles. The Alpha doesn’t know I heard back from them and they promised to send help. It’s only been a few weeks but I know they’ll come through. I saw some of the posts, Tag. There are others worse off than us. After they’re rescued I’m sure they’ll come for us, okay?”

He nodded and locked up the car. Then he carried me to the front door and let us in. He was so quiet it had me worried. Once we were on the fake fur rug in front of the fireplace and he had one going, he finally spoke again.

“If this is how you want to handle things, I’ll support the decision.” I smiled at him but he held up a hand. “But only for one month. They get one month to come in and put a stop to this or we run. Promise me that.”

I thought it over for a moment. I had the same concerns as he did that I wouldn’t survive this pack. And he’d been dealing with this shit for much longer than I had since he was a few years older than me. “Okay. If we don’t hear from the Omegas or get rescued in the next month we run.”

“Thank you,” he breathed as he gently pushed me back on the rug. “Thank you, baby.” He kissed me deeply and I could feel the relief coming off of him in waves. We hadn’t mated since I was claimed by the inner circle, but it was one of my gifts. I could feel strong emotions as if they were my own.

“Make love to me,” I whispered against his lips when he went to pull away.

“You know we can’t,” he replied, shaking his head. “After you heal. Until then, I’m going to take good care of you.”

“I can heal later. The more you have sex with me the quicker the wolfsbane will wear off.” He’d get power and faster healing abilities from his time with me and I wanted him to be healthy too.

Tag gave me a wide, wolfish grin. “The wolfsbane was switched out with herbal-smelling water that looks like it and has the same scent. I’m wolfsbane-free this week and hopefully until they need more unless I can pull the same move again.”

“I love smart men,” I purred, my heart soaring that he wasn’t drugged again. They gave him the same amount every week, enough to weaken him but not kill him. Then he got a double dose after his week with me to counteract the power he got from me.

“I couldn’t not win the hunt like last week.” I saw the pain in his eyes as if he’d failed me. “They gave me the double dose and I didn’t react well to it, even worse than normal. I knew I had to do something about their supply or Ryan would keep getting you. I couldn’t let that happen.”

This was one of the reasons I loved this man so much. He didn’t switch it out so he’d stopped getting drugged up. He did it so I wouldn’t have to suffer if he lost the hunt. Taggart never thought of himself. I was about to try and tell him it wasn’t his fault and I didn’t blame him when I felt him rub healing salve on my butt.

I moaned and arched my back as I instantly felt better. When had he gotten it and put some on his hands? I’d missed that but I was glad he was doing it. Taggart was wicked smart and knew a lot about herbs, especially the ones that reacted with werewolves. Instead of finding which ones could counteract the wolfsbane he’d worked on making a salve that could heal me.

How could I not love him? His selflessness made my heart flutter.

“I don’t deserve you,” I whispered as he used both hands to work the salve into the muscles in my ass and then on my sore hips.

“You deserve so much more than what I can give you.” He kissed me gently and then went back to work. When he moved down my legs and got to my ankles I flinched in pain. Ryan had really done a number on me. Instead of just telling me where he wanted me when he screwed me, he’d jerk my body around, not caring if I could actually bend that way.

By the time Taggart was done rubbing the salve all over my body I was limp like a wet noodle from the pleasure and relief from the pain. Then, as if he hadn’t done enough, he swallowed down my cock and rocked my world with the best blow job ever.

“Will you forgive me for abandoning you?” he asked quietly after I blew my load.

“Tag, stop,” I gasped as I pulled him on top of me. “None of this is your fault. They drug you, okay? It’s not like you just said fuck it, he’s not worth this shit and walked away. I know you love me and we do the best that we can to make it through this hell. I’ve never once blamed you, only them.”

“It kills me to see what you go through when I can’t win the hunt. I don’t want this life for you, Dewey.”

“I do if it means I have you.” He smiled and I felt his hardness pushing against my groin. I smiled at him and spread my legs in invitation. Now we could get down to the lovemaking and enjoy our time together.

Or so I thought because that’s when the door was kicked in. Motherfuckers.

Chapter 2

“Get out of my house,” Taggart snarled, instantly on his feet as half a dozen men stepped over
