Emily sat at the kitchen table. In front of her a large mug of Tag’s steaming hot, syrupy sweet tea.

‘You need to tell us when you are going out,’ said William.

‘If I did, then you would send someone with me,’ countered Em.

‘Only for your own safety,’ insisted William. ‘We need to protect you. I’m afraid that I must insist.’

Em stared at the Omega, her expression blank but her eyes betraying her emotions. Her anger. ‘Protect me? Insist?’ She asked. ‘Poor little Emily needs protecting by the big strong men. Can I please have the big strong men’s permission to take a walk by myself? Excuse me, sir, but could I have permission to leave the room?’ She stood up. ‘I think that we had better get one thing straight here, mister male chauvinist Wolfman. If I want to go out by myself, then I will. I don’t need your permission or your protection.’

‘What if you run into a group of vamps?’ asked William as he stood up to face her. ‘What then?’

Emily slatted her eyes and pushed her jaw out. ‘I will take care of them.’

‘Oh, just like that,’ snapped William.

Emily growled and unleashed the full force of her coercion. William was slammed back into his seat and the rest of the men around the table could not stand up either, even though they shook with the effort.

Then Deathwalker appeared in Emily’s right hand. She walked up to William and held the axe in front of his face. ‘Yes,’ she said. ‘Just like that.’

Then the axe disappeared and Emily shut her coercion down, allowing the men to move once again.

Tag laughed out loud. ‘Man,’ he said. ‘That was scary. I tell you what, I felt like a child strapped to the naughty chair. Couldn’t move a muscle.’

‘Sorry,’ said Em. ‘But I needed to prove a point.’

‘That wasn’t the point that needed proving,’ said Troy. ‘We all know how formidable you are. We know how powerful you are. We know all of those things. But when we don’t know where you are it worries us. If only for our sakes, Em,’ he asked. ‘Let us know when you’re going out. I know you need some alone time but don’t shut us out. Please.’

‘What he said,’ added William. ‘And I’m sorry if I sounded condescending, it’s difficult for me. I mean, I am the Omega, after all. I’m used to obedience.’

‘I’m not Pack,’ said Emily.

William laughed. ‘Yes, you are,’ he said. ‘You’re just different. But whatever you do or say, you cannot stop us trying to protect you. So, you’re just going to accept it and tough it out.’

‘Well you know where I stand, girly,’ said Tag. ‘I be your bodyguard so I do have to insist on knowing where you are. It’s part of my job description.’

Em shook her head and then smiled. ‘Thanks guys,’ she said. ‘It’s good to know that you all care. I’ll try harder. When I need to be alone, I’ll tell you.’

The men nodded their agreement.

‘On the plus side,’ continued William.
