Chapter 12

Simon

I was in hell.

Being punished for all my wrongdoings. I didn’t donate enough to charity. I was rude to the barista this morning. I could be cold and overbearing to people around me. I knew my own flaws.

I didn’t think I would be tormented because of them.

I pulled into Cosmic Bonds not a minute too soon. Stella’s scent overwhelmed me. She sprang out of the car, as if she was struggling too.

She’d chosen Jerrick and Evan. I’d never have thought of it myself, but knowing she wanted them without my influence soothed a jagged piece of my heart. I never wanted Evan and Jerrick to worry another omega would be permitted to do what Ava did.

Stella’s obvious lust for my packmates made it a moot issue. Evan was clearly glowing after their night, and Jerrick was whistling in his office.

Only problem was, she smelled like pack now. It was nearly impossible to resist her scent before, but now smelling like my two favorite people in the world, it was all I could do to not press her against the wall and slide into her.

She wanted me, I knew that. Her scent teased me.

Once again, I would be spending the day around her and my sister. I had to get myself under control.

Some days control was all I had left. It was my control that kept me from slitting my father’s throat when I found out what he’d done. Disapproving of my pack was one thing. Setting an omega to divide us was something else entirely.

I’d avoided my father until Thanksgiving and was forced to decide if I was going to keep Meredith from having a family Thanksgiving or not.

Things had been frosty since then.

I followed Stella into a small waiting room. Meredith was dressed down, wearing loose fitting slacks and a blouse, and her hair was pulled away from her face. She smiled at Stella, but there were dark circles under her eyes even her careful makeup couldn’t conceal.

Rage boiled inside me. I should hunt her pack down and make them pay for hurting her.

Mother and Father of course weren’t pleased by Meredith’s public humiliation but had business ties with one of the former alphas. So of course, they couldn’t be too publicly angry with them.

Stella smiled brightly. “Ready to continue the process of sticking it to your old pack and becoming a better you?”

Meredith smiled a real smile this time. “Yes.”

Stella knew exactly what to say.

“First, we’re going to the crystal room.”

Stella glanced at me but continued down the hallway. We followed the distracting omega into a small room that was wall to wall crystals and herbs.

The crystals were all different colors, shapes, and sizes. Some were smooth pink stones all the way up to large chunks of what even I knew was amethyst, the jagged pieces of rock exposed. On a rough wooden table that looked like it was made from two large slabs of driftwood, several bowls sat. Each bowl was filled with crystals.

The lighting was low, and calm energy radiated from the room.
