Behind you (Dark Simon "Ghost" Riley x Reader x Vladimir Makarov)

Chapter 8

You had all of your personal items removed from Ghost's house and managed to find a small apartment for yourself.

The day of the operation arrives and despite your happiness you can't help but feel anxious about what will happen to you.

The operation was long and painful even for Ghost who felt the bond breaking.

He felt your pain and suffering as they performed your separation surgery and when the bond was officially severed it was like a sharp dagger being pushed into his heart. He felt empty and lost and he couldn't believe that it was all over now. You were truly going to be free from him and you would never have to see him again. This was the final goodbye, he was the one that made you lose your freedom and he couldn't forgive himself for this.

//////////

After the operation, months pass before you are able to recover. You contact Laswell again and after explaining what happened to you she manage to get you back to work for the government but this time in an office in the Pentagon where you can use your strategic skills against a dangerous Russian criminal. Laswell is happy to be able to give you back a little of the life you had.

You had to be content working as an administrative assistant in the Pentagon, as your Omega status limited the type of missions you could undertake. You were still a capable tactician and leader but you didn't receive as many tasks.

Many Alphas avoided you, no one wanted to be paired with an Omega with a damaged gland. Being beautiful didn't help you either since you were now deemed unfit to be a mate.

You've gotten used to it by now, even if your loneliness has become more of a habit than something you can manage.

In the following months you stop every attack of this famous and dangerous Russian criminal. No one had ever been able to stand up to him but you had.

Finally one day you get assigned to a team and sent on a mission against Vladimir Makarov, the dangerous Russian you are chasing.

Makarov was the leader of the ultranationalist movement in Russia and was notorious for his terrorism and extremist ideologies. He had always been a hard target to capture and even the greatest strategists couldn't match his wit and skill.

But you had successfully lead a mission against him in Moscow and you were close to tracking him down but unfortunately they had been captured you and your team.

"Well, well, well. Who do we have here?" Makarov says amazed to have in front of him the person who was putting a spoke in his wheels all this time.

He couldn't believe he was face to face with the person who always halted his plans before. Makarov spoke arrogantly "So you're the one who's been causing all these problems for me..." he says as he comes closer and sniffs the air and looks at you suspiciously. "This smell..."

"Surprised that the person giving you trouble is an Omega?" you say boldly. "Were you expecting a big Alpha guy?".

If you were truly an Omega then you shouldn't have any Alpha tendencies. There was an unexpected surprise in his expression when he made this discovery... He couldn't believe what he was picking up from you.

Makarov lowers the collar of your jacket and notices the scar on the neck. A damaged gland... for an Omega this is the worst that could happen and he knows very well that this means that a bond has been removed.

"Hey don't touch me!" you say, moving away.

The Russian was taken aback by how aggressive you were, he saw a defiant and aggressive Omega. It was a surprise to see your demeanor change like this and he wasn't prepared for your reaction. Makarov spoke angrily and with disdain "Looks like your a bit more than just an Omega after all... that broken gland of yours gave you quite a temper... it really took away the Omega in you didn't it? If it wasn't for that scar I might have mistaken you for an Alpha female... now that you've healed you really do look like one."

"You stupid Alphas are too attached to tradition. Now even Omegas can kick your ass. And I've been a pain in your ass for a long time, haven't I?"

He laughed at your words and he couldn't help but agree with the sentiment that most Alphas are like this. After all, as an Alpha himself, he was just as surprised as anyone else when you changed your demeanor like this. You were a fighter and he respected your resolve.

"Well, you are correct. I was surprised to see you act like this but I guess even damaged goods like you can still manage to fight. It's admirable..."

"Don't call me that! Why don't you kill me and get it over with."

The Russian's face grew cold and he looked at you with a hateful gaze. He spoke calmly but you could practically hear the threat in his voice, "Don't tempt me little Omega. I can end your life now if I want to..."

You look at him with hatred.

Makarov met your stare with an intense gaze and now there was nothing but contempt between the two of you. Neither of you would back down and you both were determined to stand your ground. He had never had someone stare him down like this before and he was impressed. Even though you were only an Omega, you weren't weak and he didn't want to make the mistake of underestimating you. "Don't look at me like that little Omega, you are nothing to me..."

"Kill me then!"

He spoke in a mocking tone "I am keeping you alive for a reason. Just because you're an Omega doesn't mean you aren't useful to me..." His tone of voice changes as you see him thinking carefully "You might be damaged goods but you could still be valuable to me in other... ways."

You understand what he means "Don't you dare!"

The Russain laughed as he expected this reaction. "Oh, did my words touch a nerve? It's hilarious to see how arrogant you are considering your current circumstances."

Makarov snapped his fingers and he ordered his men to take you to his private quarters. You wouldn't be allowed to leave the area he was keeping you in and he wanted to discuss things privately with you. This was obviously a strategic move and you were still his prisoner. Makarov spoke quietly and calmly as he watched the men lead you away, "I'm not finished with you yet little Omega..."
