CHAPTER 22
Jendra
I felt my eyes go very wide. With a rush of abject horror that made my insides turn to water for an instant I realized that I couldn’t tell.
I couldn’t tell if Omega had really been the one commanding me to release him. I didn’t know whether the voice in my head, as I lay in Beta’s arms, had actually been that of the enormous black figure standing in front of me, looking at me with lust and power that made my legs buckle beneath me until I knelt before him—or that voice had belonged to something else.
I couldn’t tell whether the bond itself had simply pulled me here, an unconscious magnetism that needed no words at all. Or, much worse, whether my own dark desires had invented the voice, creating justification for what I wanted to do anyway.
Had I freed him because he commanded it, or because some terrible part of me had simply wanted to?
“Jendra.” Beta’s voice cut through my spiraling thoughts, sharp with command and something that sounded almost like pain. “Step away from him. Now.”
But I couldn’t move. My legs wouldn’t obey. I knelt there on the cold laboratory floor, staring up at Omega’s massive form, feeling the bond between us thrumming with renewed intensity now that he was fully conscious again.
“You came back to me,” Omega said, and his voice held triumph. “Just as I knew you would.”
“Did you?” I heard myself ask, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. “Did you actually call me? Or did I… did I do this on my own?”
The question seemed to surprise him. His black eyes studied me with what might have been curiosity. “Does it matter, little cunt?”
“Yes,” I whispered. “Yes, it matters.”
Because if he had commanded me, if he had used our bond to control my actions while I slept in Beta’s arms, then perhaps I could still salvage something. Perhaps I could claim I’d had no choice, that the quantum entanglement had overridden my will.
But if I had come here of my own volition, driven by nothing more than my own twisted needs…
“Jendra.” Alpha’s voice now, calmer than Beta’s but no less urgent. “Whatever happened, whatever brought you here, you can still choose differently now. You can step away from him.”
Could I, though? Even as Alpha spoke, I felt my body leaning toward Omega, drawn by that invisible thread that connected us. My punished pussy clenched with shameful need, rememberinghis dominance, craving more despite everything Beta had given me.
“She can’t,” Omega said, answering for me. “Can you, Jendra? You can’t step away because you don’t want to. You never wanted to.”
“That’s not true,” I protested, but the words sounded weak even to my own ears.
“Isn’t it?” Omega moved closer, and I found myself tilting my face up to maintain eye contact as he approached. “Then tell me, little cunt—why did you leave Beta’s bed? Why did you walk through these corridors, board that train, come all the way here to release me?”
“I don’t know,” I sobbed. “I don’t know why.”
“Yes, you do.” He reached down, his massive hand cupping my chin, forcing me to hold his gaze. “You do know. You just don’t want to admit it.”
I stared up at Omega, my mind reeling, searching desperately for an answer that would make sense of what I’d done. But before I could form words, his hand moved from my chin to grip my arm, and suddenly he was lifting me—not gently like Beta had, but brutally. Not to gather me to his chest, but to throw me over his shoulder.
“No more questions, little cunt,” he said. “Time to go.”
“Omega, stop!” Beta’s shout echoed through the laboratory as I heard him and Alpha moving, their hands already raised to reconstruct the containment field.
But Omega was faster. He pulled me against his massive chest, his arm locked around my waist, and then heran.
Not toward the door. Toward the wall.
I opened my mouth to scream, trying somehow to brace for impact, but we passed through the solid matter as if it were nothing more than mist. The sensation was indescribable—a tingling that spread through every cell of my body, a momentary sense of being everywhere and nowhere at once.
Phasing, Omega’s voice spoke directly into my mind.I’m phasing our bodies through the matter of the planet. Moving us between dimensions.
We burst through wall after wall, corridor after corridor. I caught glimpses of startled scientists, security personnel reaching for weapons, but we were past them before they could react. The world became a blur of color and sensation.
I learned so much in that laboratory, Omega continued in my head.Combined with what I found in your memories—the gravitium, its properties, its location—I’ve discovered how to build my power beyond anything your blue ‘friends’ could contain.
