The Rebellious Omega
Chapter 90

King Braedon POV

"Dude," I said rolling my eyes "get a hold of yourself, what if somebody comes in?"

He cried with laughter. I looked at the door, at him, and then got up, walked quickly, and locked the door. At least I wouldn't have to deal with the embarrassment of somebody walking in and seeing my Beta in such a state. It was a long time until James gathered himself enough to speak. "Oh gods," he said, sinking onto a seat and shaking his head "The girls, they must have really been riled up," he said snorting again. "Why?" I asked grumpily.

I wanted to know what was so hilarious. Evidently, it was very funny whatever Malcolm had told him.

"The girls" James choked out "demanded that the men who lost, which was every single one of them by the way" he gave me a minute to digest that "Give them a kiss, just like they demanded. They wouldn't allow them to refuse. Apparently, it upset the men even though they acted like this with the girls in previous hunts."

I smirked. It sounded as though the girls had gotten their revenge on the men. Even I had a chuckle at the thought of the big bad shifter men being forced to kiss the shifter girls against their will because they were so arrogant as to think they wouldn't lose. It was karma, I thought with a shrug and maybe they wouldn't be demanding kisses in the future. I privately thought the girls had done a good thing but was wise enough not to voice it. They had stood up for themselves and it was admirable.

Then it struck me. "Hang on," I said slowly as James looked at me, his eyes still dancing with mirth "You said that Blair won her hunt didn't you?"

"Yes," James said confused.

"Did you not just say that the girls all demanded a kiss from the guys that lost?" I said with a low growl.

James looked slightly panicked now "I'm sure that Blair didn't" he began and I interrupted, my wolf becoming pissed. "Which is it? You just said all of the guys had to, which means Blair had to have asked as well" I roared.

"Calm down Braedon, I'm sure it's a misunderstanding. Blair wouldn't do that. Malcolm probably just said all the guys without thinking. Why don't I just mind-link him again?"

But I was seeing red. Somebody had touched my mate. I didn't care if it was some stupid reward or a way of celebrating. They had touched her lips. Those were my lips. Mine. For another male to kiss her, the fury continued to grow. James was looking concerned now as the tension rose in the room. I stood up and flung a painting across the room in my rage.

"Braedon, you're being unreasonable here. You haven't even let me check the facts first" James began and I growled at him, my wolf close to the surface and trying to take control. It was taking all my self-restraint to hold him back. James swallowed hard, looking pale.

"That bastard" I seethed and shot James a look that had him going pale "Who was her partner?" I demanded in a chilling voice "Who was her prey?"

He blanched "I don't think it's a good idea to tell you," he said tightly "not in this mood. You have to remember that Blair's not marked yet. He wouldn't have known that she has a mate and you're still under the assumption that she's done something wrong without even asking her."

I snarled. I grabbed the desk and tipped it over. Jealousy was flooding through me. I was becoming irrational, my wolf too. The mere thought of another male touching what was ours was driving us crazy. James was fighting to keep his voice steady "You're going to scare your mate if you keep acting like a madman Braedon, you need to get yourself under control."

I snarled and then let out a ferocious roar. He flinched. "Who was her partner" I snarled.

I was beginning to push my aura out. He knew it was only a matter of time until I used my Alpha tone on him. Then it wouldn't matter if he wanted to tell me or not. He bowed his head. "Fine" he muttered "I'll tell you, but Blair's going to be pissed if you don't talk to her first" he warned.

I growled. "Her partner was Gary," he said with an exhale "Try not to kill him" he added grimly.

Gary. He was one of our warriors and strongly disliked in the pack. He had a temper and tended to view women as inferior to him. He also had wandering hands and had been punished numerous times for attempting to sexually harass the omegas. Unfortunately, he had never gone far enough to be able to banish him, but what had Malcolm been thinking to even let that bastard take place in the hunt? He could have tried anything with Blair if James hadn't been keeping an eye on the proceedings. I growled some more and then slammed the door open, James giving a long-suffering sigh. "Promise you'll talk to Blair first before you do something stupid and break the bond."

I stormed from the room, heading down the corridor. Omegas took one look at the scowl on my face and scattered out of the way. I sniffed picking up Blair's scent from outside and I hastened my steps. I could hear her voice speaking to somebody and I frowned when I heard her shout "Let go you bastard."

I rushed outside to see her knee Gary of all things in the nuts before elbowing him in the stomach and kicking him behind the knee sending the son of a b***h on his a*s. I blinked. My anger faded swiftly and the wind was taken quite literally out of my sails. What had Gary been trying to do to my mate and why was Blair looking so disgusted as she tried to kick him again? I strode over, glaring down at the man who was currently prone on the floor, clutching his jewels. "What is going on?" I hissed and my mate turned to me with her eyes blazing in indignation.
