The Stained Omega

Chapter 137

For Momma Beth

(Anna)

I should get Fraction out of here but I can’t bring myself to move, I can count on one hand the amount

of times I’ve seen Fraction cry or get truly angry. So to see him going through this turmoil is killing me. I

try to find a slice of calm or even peace, so that I can feed the emotion to him. It’s proving next to

impossible though with Momma Beth dead. and being sewed up by nurse and Doctor Lee just in front

of us and Aurora missing I can’t seem to find the emotion for myself let alone. him.

I can hear my heart beating a drum as the tears stream down my face to land on Fraction’s head, I

have him cradled to my chest as he lets out. the pain he’s feeling. Each time I try to stand he grabs me

by my waist and holds me to the floor. He’s not ready to move but I need to do something. Anything. I

watch through blurry eyes as the nurses pull a white sheet up to Momma Beth’s chin and then quickly

leave the room. Now that there is only me. Fraction and Doctor Lee in the room. Fraction really lets

himself go. I expect more tears but what I get is anger, he lets me go with a little shove and jumps to

his feet. He’s still shirtless from our fun in the office, standing there under the fluorescent lights in

nothing but a pair of dark Levi’s and socks he looks like an avenging angel.

“Fraction?” I ask in a low voice, I’m trying not to spo ok him as I can. see the emotions literally vibrating

off him in waves. When he turns to me I see his green eyes have turned yellow. I yelp when he

charges. past me and picks up a medical trolley throwing it at the wall, Doctor Lee flinches slightly but

otherwise doesn’t move. Fraction goes on a wave of destruction through the room, cabinets get flipped,

draws get tossed and scalpels get thrown at the wall.

By the time he’s done the room looks like it’s been hit by a hurricane, the only thing untouched is the

metal table Momma Beth is laid on. Fraction’s tattooed chest is rising and falling as he tries to catch his

breath

“Pup?” Leo’s voice is gravely and sends shivers down my spine.

“The Pack is looking.” Leo’s eyes turn on me and I take a step back. I can see the rage burning within.

“Why aren’t you?” I try not to take it personally, I know why he’s asking. I’ve been asking the same

thing of myself.

“Because Momma Beth needed.” I gulp casting an eye over her still form. “needs us.”

“She needs nothing, her link is gone.” There is no emotion in Leo’s voice as he says this. Fraction has

reverted in, the pain being too much

for him.

“Give me Fraction back. I’ll help him grieve for his mother but I need him to help me find our pup.” Leo

walks a few steps over to me and cups the side of my face brushing his finger under my eye to wipe

away a tear.

“And Beta?” I nod my head while leaning into his touch.

“I swear it.” I tell him while looking into his yellow orbs. It takes a while but soon Leo retreats and his

yellow eyes turn green once more.

“I don’t know how to do this.” Fraction tells me, I can tell from his voice he’s trying not to break down

again.

“We take it one day at a time. For now, we should say goodbye.” I take his hand from my face and

clasp it in mine. Slowly I turn us towards. the only mother I’ve ever known.

Walking over to the table the first thing I notice is how completely still

she is, people say that a dead b*dy looks like they are sleeping but I know she’s not. All of her warmth

and infectious joy is gone, her face that once lit up with a smile so wide you couldn’t help but smile at

the time is now blank and devoid of anything. The more I look at her the more I can tell, she’s not there

anymore. Fraction runs one of his big hands through her salt and pepper brown hair, he starts

whispering low to her but I block him out. It’s a private moment between mother and son and I have no

right to be a witness to it. He leans down and k*sses her cold pale forehead before looking over at

Doctor Lee.

“You’ll keep her safe until I can make arrangements?” I close my eyes. as Fraction discusses his

mothers funeral.

“Of course Alpha, no matter how long it takes.” Doctor Lee sounds like he’s trying to contact his own

emotions and when I look over at him I see he has unshed tears dancing upon his lashes. It’s a huge Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

compliment to Momma Beth that even someone who is trained to deal with death can’t contain his

emotions for her.

Fraction takes my hand and pulls me through the room, for someone who didn’t want to leave he now

seems to be in a massive rush.

“Fraction. wait.” I whisper as I pull his hand from mine, he keeps walking a few steps before he realises

I let go. Turning back to me he has a confused look on his face.

“What is it?” He walks back to me and there we stand in the corridor. I have so many bad memories of

this corridor.

“We can’t leave her here, surrounded by ghosts.” I shiver as I remember all the times I’ve been in this

place and the reasons why.

“Doctor Lee will look after her until we can bury her properly.” He’s trying to bury his grief, I know as

soon as we get back to the Pack house he will drown himself in whiskey though.

“What do we do now?” I ask him.

“We find Aurora, we find James and we bring our family home. That’s what she would have wanted.”

Fraction takes my hand in his and this time he slowly walks us through the medical centre. I can’t help

but notice all the medical staff and patients seem to be gone.

Once we reach the main doors I realise why they aren’t there, Fraction opens the door and we are

instantly met with a hushed silence. It’s like the whole Pack has turned out, all but the warriors I scared

into looking for Aurora. I know I should feel guilty about that but I can’t. Each person is holding a candle

and I see some on the bottom steps off the entrance. Fraction just stands there, shoulders slumped

and a sad look on his face, he seems to be scanning the crowd but I don’t know what he’s looking for.

“What you’ve heard is true.” Fraction’s voice seems to bellow out as he speaks although he’s not

shouting, “tonight someone stole Aurora I don’t know anymore than that. I presume while trying to stop

the kidnapping my mother was shot, she died a short while ago. I appreciate your gathering but right

now what we need is support in finding Aurora and James.” He looks around the crowd while giving

them time to soak up the information, “we will bring them home. For Momma Beth, we will bring our

family home.”

“For Momma Beth!” The crowd roars back in unison..
