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

the broken door. I was a step behind but still reacted fast enough to make me feel good that I could hold it together in a bad situation.

“I don’t want to hurt you and use my gift,” I said quietly as I stepped out in front of Taggart. He grabbed me around the waist and I was right back behind him again. “Why did you do that? I’m the one who can take them all out with just a thought.”

“Not before one shoots you,” he threw over his shoulder. “Did you miss the guns? Or did you just want to give them target practice by announcing you were the Omega?”

“I think they knew because of the blond hair,” I answered with a squeak when I peeked around him and saw the very large weapons. Whoops.

“We’re not here to hurt the Omega,” one guy said as he stepped forward, his gun pointed at Taggart. “The Council sent us to rescue him.”

“You’re still pointing a gun at the man I love and I will hurt all of you if you don’t lower them,” I threatened, glad they were good guys… Maybe.

“What proof do we have you’re with the Council?” Oh, that was a good question. I was glad Taggart thought of it since I didn’t think of that.

“We don’t need to prove anything to you,” he sneered at Taggart and that just pissed me off. I darted out in front of my man and held up my hands but not in surrender.

“Lower the guns or I will hurt you. He’s no threat to me. I love him and he has never hurt me.”

“That’s not what the Beta told us when we stormed Alpha Hooker’s house,” a different guy replied.

“Oh, well, I can explain that,” I groaned, shaking my head. “They wouldn’t let him win the hunt if the Alpha knew we were in love and Taggart was good to me.”

“Maybe he has that kidnapping syndrome?” the second guy whispered to the first.

“I don’t have Stockholm syndrome,” I snapped. “Enough talk. If you’re here to rescue me, Taggart comes with, so put down the damn guns!”

“Carson!” someone yelled from outside as a little blond just bigger than me darted into the house.

“Lower your weapons, guys,” Carson ordered as he walked past the team of six in tactical gear. He stared straight at me casually. “What’s your gift, Dewey?”

“I can feel emotions and knock people out.” I shrugged when Taggart groaned that I gave the information up. Carson was with the Omega Network and would know I could do something.

“How would that have hurt us?” the first guy asked as they slung their large guns over their shoulders and stood down.

“I make someone drop all of a sudden and they tend to get concussions and nasty bruises.” Again I shrugged. I didn’t say that I’d kill them all or dismember them but a big bump on the head does hurt.

“Carson! Unfreeze me!” the same man shouted from outside.

“Whoops,” Carson giggled and waved his hand. “Sorry, my love.”

“Don’t my love me,” a very large man growled as he stomped inside the house and next to the Omega. “What part of promising to wait outside was unclear?”

“You can spank me later and have me any way you want as my punishment, Taylor. As long as you don’t tell the others I ran in here.” Carson leaned against the man and practically purred. “I’m sorry I froze you, my mate. You can have your naughty way with me when we get home.”

“Yeah, such a tough punishment for you.” Taylor chuckled, shaking his head as he wrapped an arm around Carson. Then the big man glanced at me. “So you’re Dewey, right? We’re here to rescue you. You asked for our help so I’m not sure what the problem is?”

“They had guns pointed at Taggart and how were we to know they were really with the Council?” I replied quietly as I moved back towards my man. “I love him. I said I was in love with someone when I posted to the Omega Network. I won’t leave him.”

“I love you too, baby,” Taggart whispered as his strong arms hugged me from behind. “I’ll be fine. All I want is you to be safe, okay? Go with them.”

“What?” I gasped and spun in his arms. “No! I won’t leave you!” I whimpered when he gave me a sad smile. “You knew this might happen if they came, didn’t you?”

“Yeah, baby. You’re the one that’s valuable to the Council. I’m just another wolf.”

“But you’re not, now are you?” Carson asked cryptically. I glanced over my shoulder and saw the man staring at Taggart and realized he was reading his thoughts. “No more drama. You both come and I might have a solution that should make everyone happy. Pack what you can and let’s get the fuck out of here.”

“Okay.” I immediately agreed and dragged Taggart to his bedroom and found his suitcase. “You really were just going to let them take me from you?”

“If it meant you being saved and not having to live like this anymore, then yes,” he said quietly. “It would have killed me to lose you but you’re all that matters to me.”

“Bullshit!” I shouted as I threw another bag at him. His eyes went wide at my outburst. “I would do anything for you, Tag. You knew I didn’t want to be rescued if that meant I had to leave you. That’s why I wouldn’t run away with you. I can’t lose you either.”

“I’m sorry, my love,” he whispered as he stepped around the bed and pulled me into his arms. “I won’t ever make decisions for both of us anymore, okay?”

“Fine,” I agreed, hugging him back. “We leave here today and we’re in this together. We’re a team.” I hedged a moment, not sure if I wanted to bring up this next topic but then decided to get it out in the open. “And no more keeping secrets, Tag. I know how you’ve
