My heart thumping, I pulled the pistol from the holder and held it up.
Taking aim between his shoulder blades, I pulled the trigger while squeezing one eye shut. Screams rang in the air. Claws’s body flopped onto the ground at her feet in slow motion before me. Or that was what it seemed to me.
“Stay calm!” I yelled at the screaming omega and her frantic mother, who had rushed out with an apron tied around her pudgy middle.
“What’s going on?” screamed the mother, watching me as I tucked the pistol back into the holder of my jeans.
“I suggest you leave the area right away,” I commanded. I lifted the dead body of Claws over my shoulder.Fuck, he weighed a shit ton. My knees nearly buckled from the weight of this horrible alpha. “They are coming for your daughter, and they know where you live.”
“What?!” said the mother in disbelief.
“What do we do, Mom?” I heard Rebecca saying.
I couldn’t listen or engage in conversation with them as I walked to the car while carrying this gigantic alpha on my back. Sweat ran down my back under the hot sun, and his blood was leaving a trail to the car. I had to get the fuck out of here before the omega’s fathers returned home from wherever they were. They would follow the trail, and I needed to drive as far as possible before that happened.
I was going to be in so much fucking trouble. To kill an alpha was punishable by death, except for good reason. But if an alpha killed another alpha, there could be a trial. As I dumped the body into the trunk of the car, I wanted to vomit, seeing his look of permanent shock and blood seeping from his chest. I had never in my life killed another soul before.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
With shaking fingers, I dug into his pockets for the car keys while holding my breath to block the odor of his body. Then I slammed the trunk shut, immediately hopping into the driver’s seat.I had to get out here.That was all I was thinking about. Turning the key into the ignition, I zoomed the fuck out of there and into any random direction on the road.
There was a dead alpha in my trunk from the most notorious breeding camps on Howl’s Edge.
And I had no idea what the hell I was going to do now.

Oh,thispedicurewaslovely.
I relaxed back in the cushioned chair as the beta workers in their trim yellow uniforms massaged my feet in the warm tub of water. The spa was crowded with omegas getting ready for the dance today. I didn’t realize it was a big deal until Julie invited me to come to the spa.
“I’m not feeling so well,” complained Treasure, with her hand on her forehead. I looked over to my right and saw her dainty features twisted in pain.
Uh, uh. She could be nearing heat.
I suddenly felt guilty that I had help with heat suppressant pills while she had none. But there was really nothing I could do about it, even though I wanted to save every omega in here.
“Is it something you ate?” asked her older sister, who was sitting to my left. She had a face mask on and slices of cucumber over her eyes as she relaxed in her chair.
“No,” moaned Treasure, shutting her eyes tight. “The headache just passed. I felt a weakness through my body that I can’t explain.”
“Do you think it’s your heat?” asked Julie.
“I really hope so,” said Treasure, to my shock. “I really like Rodmon and his pack. They might be the alphas of my dreams. I don't think having a baby with them would be too bad.”
Wait, didn’t they know the babies would get taken away? And who knew what happened to the omegas afterward?
“I…hope not,” said Julie worriedly as she plucked off the cucumbers covering her eyes. She looked at me with stark panic in her eyes.
“Didn’t you say this was way better than your past life?” I reminded her. Julie had told me about her narcissistic mother and how she was happy to escape her. And that this place would take care of them.
“I had never seen the other building, but the omegas say good things about it,” said Julie, with doubt in her voice. I wished to tell them what it was really all about, but there was no use scaring them when there wasn’t a way out. It was better to have Treasure excited about it all than dreading it and ruining her night.
After the spa treatment, we joined all the other omegas in a vast dressing room that had rows of fancy dresses hung in neat rows as beta workers scrambled about grabbing different sizes for the omegas once they stated their size.
“I have no idea what I want to wear,” I said, trying to take in all the different sparkly dresses. I sifted through the dresses and finally found one that caught my eye. Pulling it off the rack, I admired the silver sequins on the strapless sky-blue dress. The front portion was covered in sequins, and it flowed gracefully from the waist.
