This public scene is social suicide. As a newly qualified surgeon, Logan can’t afford this.
There are various ways to destroy an Alpha.
For someone like Logan who builds his entire identity on his ambition, career, and social standing, stripping them away from him is the best punishment.
He would rather I had killed him.
The female Omega gives a horrified squeak. She glances between Logan and me in alarm.
I feel like the earth is tipping and falling away under my feet.
Lionzio slips his arm around my waist to steady me to stop my knees from buckling.
It was all lies.
This female scent match Omega didn’t know: About me or my daughter.
She wasn’t the one who refused to accept me into the nest.
It was Logan.
The Alphahole.
The medical conference was in Houston. The female Omega isn’t local. She could have been kept away from the scandal.
Trust Logan that the temptation to match my younger brother and add to his status is enough for him to not care about his vaunted treasured Omega discovering the truth.
After all, he runs his pack with an iron-fist. How could she complain?
We’re gathering quite a crowd.
Logan appears uncomfortably aware of that fact as well.
He puffs out his chest, still confident that he is the one with the power, while assuming that Icarus and I are only staff with a couple of scandalously dressed guests.
But he’s wrong.
I let go of Lionzio’s hand and walk to stand next to Icarus. “I’ll only ask you this once and for a final time. Do you want to be in Zoe’s life?”
“Who’s Zoe?” Logan demands. “I don’t have time for this nonsense.”
John’s eyes widen in awe. “Zoe.Our daughter.”
“Mydaughter,” I reply, softly.
John looks like his heart is shattered.
His eyelashes are matted wet, but he nods in acceptance. “I understand. I need you to know that I wanted you both. I would have loved Zoe so fucking much and done anything?—”
“Do I have to take my belt to you in public?” Logan lets go of the Omega, turning to John and gripping him painfully by the scruff of the neck. Then he narrows his eyes at me. “You always were a bad influence on my Beta. One minute seeing you again and he forgets his place and all the re-conditioning that it’s taken me over two years to beat back into him.”
“Please,” the female Omega simpers, “don’t make a scene. People are looking.”
Piper rolls his eyes, swaggering forward. “Well, we wouldn’t want to make a scene, would we? How about caring more about your piece of shit Alpha hurting your Beta.”
“Are you going to allow your Omega to talk about an Alpha like that?” Logan glares at Lionzio.
Lionzio tilts his head. “You’re right. He left out that you’re a bully and a cowardly asshole.”
