I pointed to the ground. “Clean it.” All the men froze.
“What?”
“I said, clean. It. Up.” I took a step closer to them with each word.
“No.” The lead guy scoffed.
I pointed to the omega. “Isn’t that what you just did to him? You knocked down his food and then made him clean it up. Right? This is something funny to do. So clean it.” I growled, eyes flashing.
These men seemed to be too fucking stupid to scent the danger. Nix, Megan and I were all on the same page on this. No one bullied people around us. Especially unranked, or low ranked wolves. Omegas were the backbone of any pack. They handled the day-to-day necessities of the survival of the pack. They fed us, cleaned for us, took care of us. And they enjoyed it. And they were the only ones higher ranked wolves didn’t mind in their nests.
“He’s an omega. A male omega.” The lead guys scoffed.
“What is your point?” I stepped closer, and I sniffed. “You’re what? A low Gamma?” I threw my head back and laughed. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
The man looked bewildered. “What?”
“You are the lowest rank fucking possible, and you think you have the right to bully an omega?” I laughed harder. Bending down at my waist to catch my breath. While I was bent over, I grabbed on to the omega. “Get up.” His eyes flashed to mine and I could see a tiny bit of panic, but it was smothered by the hope there. Once he stood, I wrapped my arm around his waist. “Let me be very clear here.” I stepped closer to the male. “An omega is more important than your fucking pathetic rank. And you have zero fucking ability to make this man feel less than when you can barely wield a command.”
I watched as my words hit his precious little ego. “What the fuck did you just say?”
But I was too tired to deal with his big man syndrome. I slammed my aura out and the group of guys dropped to the floor. “Clean this shit up. It’s not the workers job here to cleanthe mess you made. And listen to me when I say this. Do not treat omegas, or any unranked wolves like they are less than you.” I waited until they all nodded, then I walked away and retrieved my food from the cashier.
The others were already sitting when I walked over. Toya was openly staring at me with a smirk. “Did you have a little fun in line there, Amy?”
I chuckled, but I was still angry. “It’s like a rot in this fucking school.” I slammed into my seat as the others just stared at me. “No matter where I turn, someone is bullying someone. When did this become our status quo? We are not fucking humans.” I had to calm myself down, but this is kinda perfect. It shows that I’m not doing well. I allowed tears to come to my eyes and I shook my head. “I’m sorry.” I wiped at my face in frustration.
“It’s okay.” Toya followed my lead and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. I heard her sniffle, and a tear hit my shoulder.
“Look at how pathetic you two look.” Instantly, Nix was at the surface. Fur rippled down both of our arms. Black against her dark brown. We looked at each other and both of our eyes were shifted.
We separated and looked behind us to find Nina and her band of idiots. And Nix ripped a growl so vicious, they all took a step back. “I will give you one fucking chance, Nina.” I felt my mouth shift to my fangs. “Turn around and leave us.”
Nina rallied, and she smirked. “Or what? Are you going to get your daddy to-”
I didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence. I launched out of my seat and tackled her. I slammed my fists into her face over and over. I heard and felt her nose snap, but I kept going.
Everything else fell away and all I could focus on was how much damage I was dealing to her. I wouldn’t use my claws, even though I wanted to. So I used my fists, my knees. AnythingI could to break anything else on her. I couldn’t get over the smirk on her face. She was aiming to shatter what was left of my control, and she would have if my father was dead.
She is lucky I hadn’t lost myself to killing her. But I was using this moment to really hammer home that she should fear me.
After I had her subdued, I pulled back enough to really get into this. I knew this would be the only real chance I had to get my point across.
I started on her fingers; I snapped each and every one of them. Then I broke her forearms. I ripped her shoulders out of their sockets. I started to pummel her chest, attempting to break each and every rib as someone ripped me off of her.
Once I was pulled away, I released another growl. I whirled to face whoever was holding me back and I raised my hands. Only to find Brandon and Vince were holding their hands up, trying to calm me down. I released another growl, spit dripping from my fangs. “Why did you pull me off of her?” I screamed, making the two men flinch away from me.
Brandon’s mouth was floundering like a fish, but Vince’s voice was calm. “You were going to kill her.”
“She deserved it.” I snapped back. My voice sounded vicious even to me.
Vince’s eyes tightened, but he pointed to Nina on the ground. “Take her to the infirmary.” I growled again, the fur rippling, freezing everyone around us. “Talk to me Amy, what happened?” Vince stepped closer, hands still raised.
Toya came up next to me and wrapped her arm around my waist. “You know what happened yesterday?” She offered matter-of-factly.
I watched as a flash of pride crossed Vince’s face. He couldn’t stop the tiny smirk if he wanted to. But it was like a flash in the pan. There one second, gone the next. “Yes.” His voice was soft, placating. “I am so sorry for both of your losses.” I growled,and Toya’s hand tightened around my side. A soft signal to calm down.
“Thank you.” Toya wiped at her face, playing her part perfectly. “Anyway, Amy already had an interaction in the food line, protecting an Omega from a group of Gammas. But Nina came and did probably the stupidest thing she could have done to us, and Amy lost the hold she had on her wolf.”
