Dark Side of the Omega

My Beta

Zachariah's POV

All I see is red. Everything is a blur. My head is a mess. I can't clear up any of my thoughts to act rationally. The only thing on my mind is to protect my mate and find out why the fuck Elias felt he should keep this from me.

Somehow, I end up at Elias and Damian's house. Don't ask me how. I can't even tell if my actions are Azlan's or my own. But, I have been standing here banging on their front door for fifteen minutes. Or, that's how long it feels like it's been.

If they don't open up soon, I'm taking over. Az growls.

He's never made me force shift. And, I've never been worried that he may make me do it before. This is a whole other side of Az. Ever since we've met our Little Light, he has been our main priority. Nothing else matters. Only him.

Finally, the door opens to reveal a sleepy Elias. He's wearing plaid pajama pants, no shirt, and his hair is sticking up all over the place. He rubs his eyes, a little bit, then realizes I'm the one standing in front of him. Immediately, a look of knowing and guilt appears on his face. It's gone as quick as it came.

"Zac?!" He acts surprised. "What are you doing here? It's 2am, man."

"What am I doing here?" I reply calmly. "What could I possibly want Elias?!" I get louder towards the end of my question.

"Dude, you're gonna wake up Damian." He steps outside closing the door behind him. "Tell me what's up."

This motherfucker.

Jasper's POV

I roll over expecting to wrap my arms around Zac's hunky body, but he's not here. I frantically jump out of bed to look around for him. I throw on his sweatshirt that hangs down past my knees.

He's in so much trouble. I mutter to Draven. He's not supposed to be out of bed.

Our bedroom door is wide open. He must have gone to the kitchen or something. I get downstairs and he's not there. Nothing is out of place. No lights are on. I turn around to see a glow coming from the hallway that leads to his office. I reach his office and it's empty. But, there's a safe open on the wall and a piece of paper on the ground. I go over to pick up the paper.

I'm not sure how much time has passed. I read the paper and froze. He found me. He's going to take me away from Zac. He's going to lock me up, again. Or worse, he will hurt Zac to get to me.

~Flashback~

"Oh, Jasper?" I hear his sickeningly sweet voice singsong down the hallway.

He appears at my cell door. A creepy smile on his face. His eyes ablaze. He opens the door taking slow, steady steps towards me with his hands behind his back.

What's today's weapon of choice? He shows me the whip that he's been hiding. The whip has mini spikes laced on it. It's one of his many toys he likes to use on me.

"Are you ready, my sweet Jasper?" His voice sends a repulsive shiver down my spine.

Thus begins, the constant torture.

~Flashback Ends~

Jasper!... Jasper?!... Jas, snap out of it! Draven yells to grab my attention.

What are we going to do?! He knows where we are. He's going to drag us back to that hell. I can't go back there. Tears are streaming down my face.
