He lets out a broken sigh, and I let the tears fall where he can’t see them.
Chapter 16
Will
I’ve never felt so sick in my life. My Omega is crying and I’m the reason. I did that. I caused her pain.
When she asked if I ever slept with Julia, I could have lied and said no. Instead I opened my stupid fucking mouth and made things worse.
I wanted to tell her what really happened, I just couldn’t get the words to come out.
Knowing she’s over there thinking god knows what about Julia and me makes my skin crawl and my stomach roll.
She deserves to know the truth. We’re building a life together and she’s my Omega. I can’t keep something this big from her, especially when it’s part of the reason I’ve been holding back from building this relationship, despite how I’m dying to do so.
Yes, joining the MC has taken up a lot of my time. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, I just didn’t realize how time consuming it would be.
Nova deserves our time and attention, particularly when everything is so new.
Being on the compound isn’t easy. Being around Julia is fucking hell.
I see the way she looks at me, the way she tries to flirt. She wants my brothers and me. It’s sick and fucked up. She’s fucking delusional.
The bullshit she pulled tonight is the last fucking straw. I don’t care what Kane says, Julia is leaving the fucking compound tonight.
She’s not welcome there and I don’t want her around my Omega. As for Rica, Julia’s sister, Robyn, lives in town. She’s nothing like Julia. She’s a good person and lives a decent life.
Robyn has even tried to see Rica a few times, but Julia sent her away. I’ll see if Robyn can look after Rica until our lives settle down a little more. Then if Nova is okay with it, Rica can come live with us.
I don’t think adding a kid to our lives as full-time caregivers right now is a good idea, not with the cops snooping around, still getting the club stable, and a new relationship. Rica is my little sister, my family, and I’m not going to let her suffer.
But first, I need my Omega to know the truth and pray she doesn’t see me as a lesser man.
Shame fills me as I think about the past, my hands gripping the steering wheel tight. That bitch has taken so much from my life already, I won’t let her come between me and my Omega.
“Where are you going?” Nova’s voice is a low rasp from crying and it fucking breaks my heart.
I say nothing as I turn the opposite way of our house. I’m too worked up to go home. There’s only two things that can calm my mind, fucking and fixing cars. I’m pretty sure sex is the last thing Nova wants from me right now.
As we head towards my shop, I try to take deep breaths and get my emotions under control. I’m not used to feeling this much. I’m normally a closed off person. I’ve built a wall around my heart for years and no one has been able to get past it. Not until I met a feisty little Omega who takes shit from no one, not even a pack of criminal Alphas.
I knew the moment I met her I wanted her to be mine, even without the scent match bond, and that alone was terrifying enough.
I’ve never had a real relationship before, never let anyone in. Not just because it gave our father something to use against us, like he did with Nick, but because I genuinely didn’t want one.
Sex was just sex. I found someone who was willing to satiate my needs and that's it.
I knew I wanted an Omega eventually, it was something we all wanted for the future.
Now we have one and I wouldn’t change it for the world, but I just don’t know how to be the Alpha she needs. This is all new to me and I don’t want to fuck it up.
That’s why tonight, I’m telling her everything.
“Where are we?” she asks, sitting up in her seat to look outside the window.
“My shop,” my voice sounds like I’m gargling gravel when I speak.
Her brows furrow. “Huh. Kind of forgot you had this place since you’re never here.” She doesn’t look at me.
