Chapter 16 Liam
LIAM
Infuriating, stubborn omegas will be the death of me.
I can’t believe she said she’s going to ride it out herself.
I scoff thinking back on it. It’s like she didn’t hear anything I said.
I’m gripping the steering wheel so tight as I drive home.
I didn’t even get a chance to tell her that her heat is due at the end of January, which is less than three months away.
She will die if she isn’t looked after during her heat.
That’s as plain as I can put it. Shaking my head, I get out of my car and head inside.
It smells like someone is cooking. I have no desire to see any of my pack, especially considering most of them will just question me more on what’s wrong with her.
I may be mad at her, but I won’t disregard her privacy.
“Whoa, who pissed in your cereal?” Eli jokes.
It’s then I realize I’m emitting a low growl.
I never growl. Gods this omega really is going to drive me insane.
“No one,” I say curtly, moving towards the kitchen, intent on grabbing a plate and going to my room.
I hear Eli trailing behind me. Ben is in the kitchen cooking.
At least something good is happening tonight.
Ben is the best cook in the pack. Well, after Micah but he refuses to cook since the whole Amber situation.
Ben turns to me just as I’m grabbing a plate from the cabinet.
“How did it go?” he asks. I shrug, giving nothing up and moving towards the bowls of food he has prepared and begin adding some to my plate.
“Clearly our girl pissed off the good doctor. I am curious how she did it. It takes a lot to get under your skin,” Eli chimes in, sounding smug. I finish making my plate and move to leave but say, “We’re working things out, I’ll be in my room the rest of tonight. I have more research to do.”
I don’t hear what they say if anything as I leave.
I weave through the house to the back stairs and up to my room.
Sitting at my overloaded desk, I eat my dinner, all the while wondering why she is so against the hospital.
I understand a lot of people don’t like hospitals but it felt like something else was going on.
She asked if her case would be reported on, which again, I understand she doesn’t want to be involved in that but it shouldn’t be enough to prevent her getting treatment.
Opening my laptop, I decide to do more research and see if there are any other cases of omegas being able to deal with this at home.
I need to find something to change her mind, or at least let her see how dangerous this really will be on her own.
