Splashing cold water on my face, I will the feeling to puke away.
I’m a trembling mess, on the verge of crying. Why didn’t I just tell them when they found out I was an omega? Just get it all out in the open.
No use dwelling on things I can’t change. I need to go out there, get Lee and find the guys.
As I’m leaving the bathroom, their voices have me halting in place.
“What the hell is going on with you two?” I hear Lee ask.
“Whose scent is on you?” River asks, his voice low and dangerous.
Fuck. Oh god. No, not like this no no no!
“Scent? The fuck you talking about? The only scent I have on me is yours, my own and Camden’s.”
Shit. Shit. Shit.
“Where is he?” Brooks asks.
“He’s in the bathroom. Why, what the fuck is going on?”
With wide eyes, I stumble back into the bathroom, willing the ground to open up and swallow me whole.
The bathroom doors slam open. River and Brooks charge in, eyes wild, nostrils flared.
“I’m sorry.” I choke out, eyes filling with tears. “I’m so sorry.”
Brooks’s lip curls up in a snarl, a growl rumbling from his chest and it’s not the kind that makes me weak in the knees. He charges over to me, fists my shirt and shoves me up against the mirror. “Did you know?” Brooks growls in demand.
“Of course he fucking knew.” River spits. “How the fuck couldn’t he? The meds stopped his scent. It didn’t fuck with the scent of others.” River crowds in. The two of them loom over me and I can feel the tightness in my chest forming.
I’m about to lose it to a panic attack, my breathing already coming in labored, my mind a scrambled mess. I’m crying now, fat tears rolling down my cheeks.
Knowing I’ve disappointed my Alphas, having them look at me with such anger and betrayal guts me to my core. I fucked up. Big time. I know that.
“I’m sorry,” I sob out. “I didn’t mean to lie.”
“How long have you known?” Brooks demands. “How long have you fucking known you were our scent match, our fucking omega and said nothing.” he roars in my face, making me flinch.
“Hold the fuck up.” Lee says from behind the guys. “He’s your scent match?” There's hurt in his voice mixing with the shock. I feel like someone punched me in the gut.
“How long?!” River demands.
“Since the start of the school year,” I gasp out in between sobs.
“Fuck!” Brooks roars, his fist flying towards the mirror. I flinch in on myself as the mirror shatters, glass raining down around us. “This whole fucking time!”
“I didn’t say anything because you guys wanted me gone. You hated me. I didn’t know what else to do,” I say, starting to hyperventilate.
Brooks lets me go, taking a step back and starts to pace. His hands run through his hair aggressively, grabbing at strands. “Fuck!” he shouts again.
River stands there, glaring at me with a look that cuts sharper than a knife.
“You lied,” he says, and I’ve never heard him sound so hurt before.
“I didn’t know what else to do.” I hate how broken and helpless I sound and feel right now.
“Tell the fucking truth!” he shouts in my face. “You’re ours. Our fucking omega and you just let us treat you like shit?”
