The Stained Omega

Chapter 112

Irrational Anger.

(James)

Six days. It’s been six days since Leon strolled into the Pack house and Patrick threw him into a cell

and locked the door. I was so mad at him handing himself in that I took the bed so he couldn’t have any

comfort. It wasn’t rational but I can’t say I have been feeling particularly rational at the moment. Tonight

Fraction is addressing the Pack and introducing Anna as the Luna, for the second time. She kills a

Luna and she gets no repercussions, none at all. It’s not that I feel sorry for Faye because I don’t, it’s

more the fairness of it all. Sure Leon lied to us but he did it out of self preservation, I can understand

that to a certain degree.

I’m taking all of my anger out on Anna instead of Leon. I want to go down there and punch him in the

face but I know that once I start I won’t be able to stop. So I’m sticking with the passive aggressive

anger, it seems to be working for me, apart from the strange looks I get from the people around Anna

when I snap at her. I’m meant to be helping set up for the gathering but I’m sitting at the picnic table at

the back of the garden picking at the peeling paint.

“Still being a grumpy Gus?” Momma Beth sits next to me as I grunt at her, “now I remember teaching

you to speak with your words so don’t grunt at me young man.” It’s odd how this old lady can suddenly

make me feel like a teenager again.

“Sorry Momma,” I grumble under my breath as I dip my head.

“You’re not going to help them?” She asks while nodding over at the two warriors trying to figure out

how the BBQ grill goes together.

“Nope.” I pop the ‘p’ as I give my simple answer.

“You know being mad at Anna is pointless right? It won’t take back the time Leon lied to you, it also

won’t change the outcome of those lies.” I sigh and look at Momma Beth, the woman always did have a

knack for seeing more than she should.

“I’m not mad at Anna.” I lie to her quickly.

“Sure and the sky is brilliant purple and pigs fly past on a daily basis. Don’t lie to me,” I look away from

her and dip my head again, ashamed she caught me in the lie. “It’s ok to love him but it’s not ok to take

that anger on those around you. Especially when you don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors.”

that peaks my interest.

“What’s happening that I don’t know about?” I ask her quietly as a warrior comes closer to us to collect

some chairs,

“Plenty and the old you would already know about them and be working to fix them. Depressed James

is not a very good Beta.” Momma Beth gets up from the picnic table and walks over to the two warriors

trying to put the table up and starts shouting at them about Momma’s bringing up idiots who can’t put

together a simple pop and lock table.

Getting up from the table I head into the house, I don’t bother to help anyone as I walk past all the

people getting the garden ready for the Luna ceremony.

“Grumpy basta rd,” I hear mumbled, I look around but I don’t see anyone looking directly at me.

Shaking my head I keep walking, I figure I will go and find Fraction, maybe he can shed some light on

what’s happening around here that I don’t know about. Just as I’m about to leave the kitchen I hear

Anna whispering to someone, her voice is high pitched and she sounds on the verge of tears. Walking

a little further into the house I see her alone in the lounge with the door only

partly open.

“You need to calm down.” she says to someone I can’t see. “Seriously, this is getting stu pid. How am I

meant to run with the Pack tonight if I can’t trust you to behave when you’re inside of me.” Curious I

push the door open and see Anna is alone, she’s nestled into the corner of the room with her legs

drawn right up to her chest. “Please, stop.” She grabs her hair on either side of her head and starts

slowly rocking back and forth, stepping into the room I close the door. The sound of the door closing

must have startled her because Anna is suddenly staring at me with fierce yellow eves.

“You should leave James,” Anna’s voice has a bite to it that it normally doesn’t.

“What’s going on kid?” I kneel down in front of her as I watch the battle between woman and wolf.

“What’s wrong with Winter?”

“Like you don’t already know,” she spits at me.

“I don’t actually, why don’t you fill me in?” I sit on the floor. I cross my legs and try to find my inner

peace so I can pulse my Beta Aura over her. It won’t be as strong as Fraction’s but it should help her

find some peace. It must work because Anna lets out a small sigh of relief and her entire b*dy relaxes

against the wall, her eyes slowly shift from a fierce yellow to a vibrant blue, although they look sadder

than normal.

“Me and Winter are disconnected, at least that’s what Fraction and Elder Thomas tell me. It feels more

like she’s clawing at the inside of my head to get out.” I nod my head as if I understand but I don’t

really.

“When did it start?” Anna shrugs her shoulders.

“I haven’t felt like me since the day in the clearing. I’ve been making choices I never would normally NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

make.” Winter is controlling the woman rather than the other way around, I run my hand through my

“Like killing Faye?” Anna nods her head, “well that makes more sense.”

“It does…care to explain it to me? Elder Thomas says I need to reconnect with my mate and Pack but

Fraction won’t touch me.” She flips her hair to the side showing me a partial mate mark, “he won’t bite

me. Elder Thomas said; I need Fraction to keep Winter in check but Fraction won’t do it until I can

control Winter on my own.”

“Did he say Fraction?” Anna looks at me puzzled, “or would any wolf in a possession of power work?”

“I don’t just want anyone to bite me,” Anna looks at me with squinted.

eyes.

“Fraction doesn’t have to know that.” I smile at Anna, I suddenly feel all of the confusion falling into

place. “I have a plan, stay here. I’ll come and get you when it’s time.” Anna nods at me as I get off the

floor.

“I’m sorry about Leon, James.” I give her a sad smile.

“Thanks, kid.” I quickly dash out of the lounge and up to my room.

I know what I need to do as Beta, suddenly everything that has been happening lately is slotting into

place for me. The tension and the irrational anger floating around the house isn’t just me, it’s Anna.

She’s pulsing with so many mixed emotions it’s overflowing into the very Pack itself. All this turmoil I’m

in isn’t because my chosen mate betrayed me, it’s because my family is fraying and I need to help put

them back together. Once I’m in my room I strip out of my clothes and dash to my shower, I can’t

remember the last time I actually bathed and it would probably help if I don’t smell like six day old

sweat when I put my plan in motion.

After my quick shower I dress in joggers and a plain white shirt, I leave off my socks and trainers in

case I need to make a quick shift. Tapping into the Pack link I locate Fraction, hes not in the Pack

house which is good, I’ll need time to get everything in place.

“Fraction?” I ask him in a solemn voice, might as well keep up the charade.

“What?” Fraction snaps back.

“Can you come to the Pack house, Anna isn’t doing so good.’ He doesn’t answer but I suddenly feel the

presence of Leo so I know I only have about five minutes to get my plan underway. My chosen mate

might be locked in a cell, nothing I can do about that. My Luna is in pain and being attacked by her

wolf, I can do something about that. Squaring my shoulders I open my bedroom door and run back

down to the lounge.
