Page 75 of Ruined Omega

By the omega we are bound.

A long moment stretches out while neither I nor Canaris says a word. The only sounds are Baen’s grunts and Hines’s moans as they mate in the squishing mud.

“We must protect her,” I say in a hushed voice. “At all costs.”

Canaris turns toward me, his eyes ablaze with determination.

“That goes without saying. I will defend this omega with my life. I will defend her until the last drop of blood has been emptied from my veins.”

He glances around at the domed cage that surrounds us.

“But what can we do?” His voice has taken on a worried tone.

“We must try to escape, Canaris.”

“You think I haven’t tried? I’ve been locked in this pit for Source knows how long. I’ve searched every inch. I’ve dug the mud around every inch of the perimeter. I’ve checked every bar for weakness…”

“We must check again,” I say. “The three of us will take turns sating the omega’s needs while the others search for a means of escape. We have until tomorrow’s dawn. Then Abaddon will come to take her away.”

“Let him come,” Canaris snarls. “I will rip his heart from his bone cage and eat it. I will slay a thousand Farlanders before I let them lay one finger on my omega.”

I nod silently.

Canaris’s passion is admirable. I feel the same way. But I also know that realistically we can never defeat all of these Farlanders, not even with our combined strength.

I make a silent resolution. I dare not speak it to Canaris. He would kill me if I told him. But I know it must be done.

We will search all day for an escape. But if we cannot find any, come the morning, I will kill the omega. I will kill Hines. It must be done to save her. Abaddon will not grant her a painless death. That much I know. He will draw it out. He will torture her slowly.

That I cannot allow.

I will kill the omega if I must.

But I pray it will not come to that.

Before us, Baen finishes mating Hines for the second time. His knot recedes, and he rolls off of her. She pants wildly. Her spread thighs are smudged with mud and cum and her own slippery mucus. Fuck, she is so beautiful like this. A beautiful mess.

In a cold voice, Canaris repeats what he said before.

“I will defend this omega with my life.”

CHAPTER 26: HINES

Tink tink tink. Pssst.

A strange sound rouses me from unconsciousness. When I open my eyes, I find that I am staring up at a clear sky full of stars. The sheer amount of them, scattered across the darkness, takes my breath away.

I have never seen the stars before. Not in real life, anyway. Only in photographs. Back in the city hive, they are hidden behind thick clouds of smog and glaring light pollution.

Out here, however, they fill up the night with glittering brilliance.

But these stars are criss-crossed by dark lines—the bars of our domed cage. My sudden sense of wonder and awe is crushed as I remember where I am.

Imprisoned.

And speaking of being crushed, an enormous weight is pressing down on top of me. A wall of hot, naked flesh and muscle pinning me down in my bed of reeking mud. But the pressure is not uncomfortable. In fact, it makes me feel warm and protected, even under these circumstances.

A quick sniff tells me it is Baen. He has fallen asleep on top of me. His hard cock is still plunged deep between my legs.
