It was naive of me to think I could leave that life behind. Interview after interview exposes just how terrible the people involved in My Fairytale were and my parents are only making the drama worse. Despite the odds stacked against us, my pack is learning that our new normal is even better than before. But the past never stays in the past and the Forrest pack isn’t ready to let me go yet… Can my pack and I survive this new wave of insanity, or will it finally break us for good? This duet will be full of betrayal, moving on, steam, strong omegas, and will end with a HEA. This is an omegaverse world that includes male omegas, a jaded pack that struggles to move on, and one omega who is tired of letting the world tear her down. This book includes on page violence. Ellie I’d barely turned around to face the man calling my name when Ezra had Bear pinned to the diner wall. His forearm pressed into the omega’s throat to the point his face turned a sickly blue. “Ezra!” I shouted as Dean and Atlas tried to pry my mate from killing the man. “Stop.” “Please. I’m not here to try and convince her to take me back. I’m not even with that pack anymore.” Bear’s words had my steps faltering as I rushed toward Ezra. “What?” I demanded. Something in my tone had Ezra easing up and turning toward me. His blue eyes bored into me and I gave a nod, telling him I want him to back off without words. Not that I could have formed them if I wanted to. “I have so much to show you, to warn you of,” Bear said quickly. He was rushing everything out in case he was forcibly shut up again. “Not here. I fucking work here,” Ezra growled out. I’d never seen my alpha so angry. “Gabe can handle things for a bit.” “Come on,” Collin said. “The storefront is still empty.” He pulled Ezra along with him while Atlas and Dean put me between them. Not one of us turned around to see if Bear was following. Honestly, I didn’t trust myself to. Out of all of the Forrest pack, his betrayal had hurt me the most. I’d never questioned the fact we weren’t fated mates. I was fine choosing a pack that complemented me well. And Bear and I had connected on so many levels. It honestly made the decision easy for me. Until they’d rejected me for Morgan. The walk to the storefront was only a few minutes but it felt like it lasted for hours. Bear’s presence hovered over me and nerves made my feet feel as if they were full of lead. “We can leave right now,” Dean promised me in a voice he didn’t bother to muffle. “No, I need to hear this. He wouldn’t be stupid enough to come here and still beg to talk to me if it wasn’t important. He said that he came to warn me,” I reminded him. “That the Forrest pack are backstabbing pricks?” Atlas deadpanned, earning a chuckle from the rest of us. We all fanned out around the room, leaning against the walls and giving Bear the floor. He shifted uncomfortably on his feet as he waited. The spotlight was on him and the room was eerily silent. “You wanted to talk. Then talk,” Ezra finally demanded. Bear jumped at the bite in his voice. Even I was startled. Ezra was a strong, opinionated alpha, but I’d never considered him harsh before. I guess that was what happened when someone fucked with his omega. “Trevor and Jason didn’t take the negative attention they started receiving well. It started small, people making posts about how we all did you wrong, which I don’t disagree with. But it escalated into full on hate campaigns.” “Forgive us if we have no sympathy for you,” Atlas snarked. His muscles bulged as he crossed his arms. One look around at my guys and I realized just why he was so nervous. Every one of them was hostile on my behalf. It was so strange to have someone having my back like this. Sure, I had my siblings, but outside of them there had never been anyone ready to go to war for me.
