A Warrior and his Omega

Chapter Ten

Atticus POV

The thing hovered above me, my body shaking with fear, heart pounding against my ribcage as my arms were locked to my side. His Silva dripped onto my cheek as he lowly growled down at me

"A-are k-kill me?" I asked.

It seemed to ignore my question as he sniffed my neck making me take a sharp intake of breath. He hummed as he sniffed me, his eyes closed in content. I felt its teeth scrape across the surface of the base of my neck causing me to whimper.

I'm sorry Sylis. I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for you. You don't have to take care of me anymore. I thought as the thing opened its mouth wider, ready to bite down.

The door burst open causing me to scream in fright. The thing above me let out a low warning growl and tensed.

"No!" Alpha Eric yelled running up to the beast.

He wrapped an arm around its throat and pulled something from his back pocket, jabbing the syringe into it neck. It howled in pain and snapped its jaws at Alpha Eric before it went limp.

"Atticus? Are you alright?" Alpha Eric asked as fear still bubbled in my throat.

I didn't answer, I couldn't fear still coursed through me as Alpha Eric pulled the beast off of me.

"Shit." He cursed, picking me up.

He placed me on the bed and grabbed my face. I screamed as the burning sensation erupted across my cheeks. The Alpha cursed again and removed his hand, a low growl following it.

"Shit. Atticus run!" He yelled.

I couldn't, I was frozen. My body shook violently as I laid on the bed. Alpha Eric growled and took my face in his hand again.

"Run damnit!" He yelled.

As if I'd snapped back to reality I scrambled off the bed and ran down the hall. I glace over my shoulder only to see the alpha get slammed into the wall as the thing stood in front of him, swiping its claws towards me.

I bumped into something making me scream and started to fall backwards. Hands snaked around my waist to keep me from falling, getting my balance I tried to get out of thier grip.

"Atticus what's wrong?" Alpha Lennon asked.

He looked over and his eyes widened. Luna Jackie ran into the kitchen with a rifle in her hands. Alpha Lennon pushed me behind his back,my hands clutching his shirt with a death grip.

"Shoot him!" Alpha Eric yelled.

I screamed as a gun shot rang through the air a loud thud following it. My breathing was labored, my heart pounding against my rib cage, my body was shaking.

I heard a long whine come from the hallway, the Luna aiming the gun at him again. I screamed as the shot rang through the air,Alpha Eric slowly walking out of the hall panting.

"He's gotten stronger." Alpha Eric breathed glancing over at me."Atticus?" He asked softly taking a step towards me.

Slowly the world faded around me as I fell to the ground, shouts slowly fading into the distance.

Sylis POV

I sighed as I looked at the boy snuggled into my pillows, fast asleep.

This is why I can't be with you. I would only hurt you.

I sat once again in the chair in my room, peering at the fire as I slowly drank a glass of whisky. The sound of the bed covers moving floated to my ears, soft whimpers making my heart ache.

"S-sylis?" He whimpered.

"Go back to sleep." I ordered softly.

"Y-you see him?" He stuttered.

"See who?" I asked.

"T-thing attacked me." He whimpered making me wince.

Thing.
Monster.
Creature of hell.
Its all the same no matter what. I'll always be a monster, I'll always hurt people.

"No I was fighting other rouges." I lied.

He can't know. I don't want him to know.

I heard the floor board creak next to me as weight was put onto it. His small frame appeared in front of me as he stood in front of the fireplace. I looked up at him, he bit his lip as tears built in his eyes. He climbed into my lap making me stiffen.

"Ge-"

"No. Listen to Atticus, please." He begged.

"Get the fuck off of me Atticus." I growled my hands gripping the arms of the chair.

He ignored me and wrapped his arms around me, his hand gripping the back of my shirt.

"Lis-listen At-atticus!" He cried as I pried his hands off of me, pushing him onto the floor.

He yelped as he landed on his butt, tears in his eyes as he looked up at me. Pain etched deep inside them as he searched my face.
