I swallowed.
Ace was going to see this and then he wouldn’t…
He won’t want us, Bunny.
I tried to focus on my breathing as the world began to fade again. I wasn’t supposed to kill this one…
I had to fix it.
But shards of glass slid through my hopeless grip, blood oozing from cuts I barely noticed.
There was no fixing this.
I jumped as the door opened and Ace’s voice floated in. My gaze darted from the floor on which I knelt.
“If that’s what he wants…” He was on his phone. “He’s not coming here, I’ll visit myself, I have a score to set—” His low words cut off as he saw the room before him.
The wreckage.
The tears and blood.
The horrible guard that had escorted me here, telling me Ace would be coming.
He’d seen my excitement and mocked me, telling me…
Telling me…
No.
The world blurred and my fists were in my hair as I staggered to my feet; the accusation tumbling out before I could stop it.
“You were with another Omega?”
Ace’s eyebrows rose at the question that wasn’t a question. I could smell her on him, the faintest trace of a cool, dark scent. Cream cardamom. Worse, it was edged with something I recognised.
He’d been with an Omega inheat?
I caught the scent on the blade, too, tangled with the flecks of blood.
“I was,” he said, watching me carefully.
I tugged at my hair violently, ignoring the pain from my open wounds. A feral sound tore from my chest before I could catch it and another surge of tears flooded my eyes I couldn’t stamp down.
I was being so stupid, but I couldn’t stop, my instincts a violent scream in my head.
“Did you…?” I shouldn’t ask. It wasn’t my place. He was my god Alpha and could do whatever he wanted. He could. He could, but desperation was a cruel beast, clawing me open from the inside. “Were you with her?”
He cocked his head, turning the knife in his grip, watching me with that strange stillness I couldn’t read. “No.”
I blinked, hating the surge of relief at those words, but what he said next drew me up. “She doesn’t want me.”
My eyes widened, a manic laugh slipping out. “Wh-what?”
Whowould dare reject him?
I felt a surge of rage that he might ever be turned down by an Omega, even if I was so glad he had been.
“She’s a believer in fate,” he said. “I’m not in those cards.”
