Right… Fuck…

“No, please, don’t hurt me!” the omega said, keeping his voice weak and scared.

I didn’t even try to stop my alpha. It slammed me out of its way and took over the body, growling in anger. At least it let me stay conscious, though I was also forced to see the omega’s smug smile. My alpha huffed and puffed as it scanned the room, making sure no one was threatening the omega. It was pissed. At me in particular.

“You were saying…?” the omega asked with an evil smile. “No? Don’t want to tell me more about what you’ll do to me? Oh, you can’t, huh?”

My alpha concluded there was no one threatening the omega and turned its attention to him. It lowered our head to let out calming breaths, bowing and posing to let the omega know it was strong enough to protect him.

“You understand you can’t hurt me, right, Trouble?” the omega said in a low voice. “Your own alpha won’t let you.”

Yeah, yeah…

My alpha didn’t understand his words, but it enjoyed listening to his voice. It took in short sniffs, inching closer to the omega’s neck, but pulled back when it breathed out. It repeated this a few times, asking the omega if it was all right to bond a little. Again, the omega accepted its request by mimicking its gesture. My alpha purred and stretched our neck to get closer to the omega’s shoulder, to the source of his pheromones. The omega was more careful with his advances, but he was advancing.

And I was getting pissed at both of them.

“Why are you a terrorist?” the omega suddenly asked quietly. “Why would someone with such a gentle alpha want to hurt others?”

I wouldn’t have answered him even if I’d been able to. That was none of his fucking business.

“There’s nothing in it for you. True Order will never win, so you’re only ruining your life for nothing,” the omega continued. “You’re fighting for people who won’t bother to learn your name, and even if you manage to live long enough to become a full member, your only reward will be death and a gravestone without a name.”

He was wrong. He knew nothing about how much we’d grown over the years. True Order was powerful. Jomica was powerful, and once they took back the government, I’d be rewarded with a life worthy of kings.

“It’s not too late for you to turn your back on it. Your alpha is already awake, which tells me you’re not too far gone. It wouldn’t have returned so easily if you were. It can still forgive you, and you still have a chance to live your life in harmony with your second spirit. With your true spirit. You can still do the right thing, and stop,” the omega spoke.

Fuck no.

My alpha was getting so comfortable with the omega it was easy to steal our body back. I pushed the omega away with a growl, and he turned back to face me with disappointment in his eyes.

“We will rule this country once again, and this time, we won’t let anyone take the power from us, you hear me?” I spoke in anger. “This time, we will make sure you omegas will never even consider trying to stand up against us. You are nothing but slaves. You will always be far beneath us. We are your masters, and we will end this fucking equality bullshit once and for all!”

I suppose I got too worked up. I started coughing, and I couldn’t stop it. In seconds, the pain around my stomach grew, and it was hard to get air into my liquid-filled lungs. I nearly blacked out while I was at it. And the entire time, I could feel my alpha judging me. It was glad I was in pain.

“Small breaths… small breaths…”

It took a lot of effort to stop coughing. Once I was aware of my surroundings again, I found myself lying on the bed on my side. The omega still sat next to me. He was still speaking soothing things to me. He was still comforting me… I could feel his hand on my shoulder…

“You’re all right,” he murmured. “Small breaths…”

“Just fuck off…” I grunted at him.

“I can’t. I need to check your wound,” he said quietly.

“That’s just fucking great…” I muttered.

“I’ll be fast, don’t worry,” he replied, and pulled his equipment closer. “Get on your back.”

I wanted to yell at him to leave me alone, but I couldn’t take another coughing fit. I was so fucking tired of all of this shit… I was so fucking tired…

“Come on,” the omega said gently.

I did as he asked. The burning sensation in my stomach got worse as I moved, and didn’t stop when I fell immobile on my back. Fuck it hurt… It hurt so much that for a short, short second, I was willing to give up. The wound was never going to heal. The pain was never going to stop.

But I forced myself to man up. I wasn’t a fucking bitch. I was stronger than that.

The omega removed the bandages, took one look at my wound, then sighed quietly.

“There’s some minor bleeding again… but… It seems all right,” he told me.

“Then you can fuck off,” I told him.

He watched me for a moment, then turned to grab some tissues to clean my wound.

“I won’t,” he said quietly.

“Why?” I asked angrily.

“Because I think I should stay here and keep you company,” he said.

“I don’t want your fucking company,” I told him.

“Tough luck.”

I stared at him, trying to keep my anger down this time as I tried to figure him out. He ignored me completely while he cleaned and patched up my wound.

“You’re an annoying little bitch, you know that?” I asked with a snort.

“I’ll try my best,” he said.

I rolled my eyes. “Did you even hear what I said about enslaving you all?”

“I did,” he said and peered at me. “But I don’t think those are your own words.”

“I did say them out loud, didn’t I?”

“Do you honestly believe in True Order?” he asked.

“I do.”

He hummed slowly, his eyes still studying me. “So if I’d let you go now, would you take me to your base and be fine watching me get raped and see the children I’m forced to give birth to get sold to the highest bidders?”

I pushed myself up to get in his face. “I wouldn’t care enough to even watch,” I told him quietly.

“Would you be fine watching me getting raped by your friends?” he repeated, his voice colder now.

I was going to say yes just to anger him, but got distracted by an image of this little omega tied to a breeding bench with my comrades surrounding him, waiting for their turn… His spirits would break in days…

The omega smiled when I didn’t reply.

“I see,” he said softly.

I growled at him, but his confidence didn’t fade. “Maybe I’ll keep you as my private bitch,” I hissed.

“Well…” He leaned so close I forgot to breathe. “What’s stopping you from raping me right now?”

“Yeah, because it’s such a fucking great idea to rape a fucking SOU soldier, you dimwit,” I said and pushed him back. “Especially when I’m injured.”

Not to mention my bitch of an alpha who was getting mad at me even now…

He just laughed at my words. “Yes, let’s go with that.”

I rolled my eyes. “Are you done annoying me?”

“For now,” he said, and got on his knees next to the bed to put away his equipment.

I watched him from the corner of my eye. He did have a nice body… He’d actually make a good private bitch… If he wasn’t so fucking annoying. I could fuck that attitude right out of him…

But I could almost see his scared, dead eyes…

“Try to get some rest. I’ll bring you more food when you wake up,” he told me and got up.

“Whatever,” I said with a snort and lay back down.

I was going to ignore him… but I couldn’t stop watching him when he walked away.

 Psst!

You may already know this, but I no longer use Patreon (I accidentally did bad and got deleted, sorry about that) but instead you can now find me on Ream!

Ream works the same way as Patreon with tiers and all, but it is created specifically for authors, so it works like a proper writing site! It is fairly new, which is why many haven't heard of it yet, but I whole-heartedly recommend giving it a shot! Reading experience is a little wonky, but they are planning on fixing the layout!

So, what has changed since I moved platforms?

For one, I only have one tier, which includes everything, and this is $6 a month. I couldn't really offer much on tiers 1 and 3 on Patreon, so I merged it all together.

And when I say everything, I mean everything, including everything I have posted exclusively on Patreon on my official pen name, Dolly Grand. This includes my erotica collection, a massive BDSM themed novel, and early access perks.

As always, you get to read Trouble one chapter ahead on Ream, plus there's a new bonus chapter in Kieran's point of view!

You can find the link to my Ream in the banner above!
