The Omegas Read Online Free PDF Page A

rise in her face. She turned to Tyler. “You’ve been out training all week with them, though.”
    He twirled his chopsticks around his ear. “Something about keeping us as back-up in case Eric wimps out, but I’m not worried, he’s doing great. Turning into a werewolf ninja. We’re off the hook now.”
    “And Sam?”
    Robert finished with the groceries and ran his hand through his short, scruffy, brown hair. “Back at our place moping. He wants to be the one to fight. Did you know your fridge is listing to the left?” He bent down to adjust a wheel under the fridge.
    Katrina fluidly rose from the floor and fixed Sugar a plate of take-out.
    “Why does Sam want to fight? Could he win?” Sugar accepted the plate Katrina offered. “Thank you.”
    Robert stood. “ Mr. Pal Robi doesn’t think so, and he’s the expert.”
    Katrina touched Sugar’s arm. “Sam want protect Eric.” Her exotic, heavy accent played with her words. She lifted a box from behind the take-out. “Let play Scrabble.”
    Eric would fight for the Omegas. Sugar smiled to herself, imagining a ninja werewolf taking on all the wrongs of the world. He’d always wanted to be a superhero. She hoped it didn’t get him killed.
    The idea of Sam fuming by himself didn’t sit well with her. “Set up the board, I’ll get Sam.” She walked down the hall to their apartment and knocked on the door.
    This meant the others could get on with life. Robert and Eric worked out of their apartment on whatever computer project the company gave them, the others took time off, and Sam lost his job.
    No one answered the door, so she knocked again. “Sam, it’s Sugar. I know you’re in there, open up.”
    The door cracked open and Sam peeked out with his pale gray, red-rimmed eyes.
    “We’re going to play Scrabble. Tyler has the dictionary memorized, and I need you to help me beat him.” She smiled, but he stepped back.
    “I’m not in the mood.”
    “Sam, what’s wrong?” The sound of heavy footsteps echoed up the stair well. She could hear Daedalus chuckle at something Eric said.
    “Ask Mr. Pal Robi.” He closed the door in her face.
    Hands on hips, she swiveled on her lover and best friend as they arrived in the hall.
    “Oh, oh.” Eric turned around.
    “Stay where you are, ninja wolf. The three of us need to have words.”
    “Words?” Daedalus glanced at Eric behind him. “Is that a modern way to say ménage?”
    Sugar approached him and slapped his hard abs with the back of her hand. She thought it probably hurt her more than him.
    His eyes flared. “Hey.”
    “Words, means she’s pissed.” Eric peered over Daedalus’s shoulder.
    “If Sam still wants to train he should be allowed to.”
    “This is why you’re angry? They don’t all have to fight, just one. I need to be able to focus on Eric, and you need to mind your own business.”
    A flash of red blinded her for a moment. She ground her teeth and attempted to form a coherent response. “My business?”
    Daedalus stepped back as she came forward with her finger pointed in his face.
    “You demon loving, zombie breeder. They signed a contract and paid for training. Sam lost his job because they only wanted him to work nights. The others are happy to be off the hook, but Sam still wants in. You need to keep your end of the deal.” His dark blue eyes bored into hers, and she remembered who she was confronting—a very strong and deadly vampire. She swallowed, then retreated a step.
    “Eric, get your sparring partner.”
    He grinned while he brushed past Sugar and went to his apartment to get Sam. As soon as the door closed, Daedalus picked her up and pressed her to the wall. His mouth found hers in a savage kiss.
    She shoved at his shoulders, but she may as well have tried to push a mountain. One of his hands found her breast and pinched her nipple until it pebbled at the attention.
    Her struggles didn’t last long before she surrendered to him and rubbed her hands along his smooth
