Page 2 of The Librarian and Her Alphas

It feels nice to finally talk to someone about this instead of spending endless days quietly doing chores and pleasing the alphas while getting stressed out thinking about not being able to get pregnant.

The words slip out before I can stop myself, and I instantly regret it when a low growl from behind catches me off guard.

Zorin’s towering figure looms over us, his steel-gray eyes burning angrily, and my heart jumps in my throat.

“Lena, what are you doing?”

“We were just talking,” I whisper, fear clawing at my insides.

“Omegas don’t disclose pack business,” he snarls, his voice cold and menacing. “It’s time to go home.”

He grips my forearm tightly, lifting me from the chair, and I wince in pain.

“You’re hurting her,” says the stranger alpha, standing up to defend me as he tries to intervene. My pulse is racing, knowing that fighting Zorin will only worsen things.

“Get out of my way. She is my omega,” Zorin warns, cutting him off with a deadly glare.

Just before I’m pulled away, I see Thomas step forward from the shadows behind Zorin. His expression is smooth, calm, but his voice is colder than all of theirs.

“Making friends now, Lena?” he murmurs, his tone like ice. “I suppose we left you alone too long. You always were a bit... attention-starved.”

My heart is pounding as Zorin practically drags me outside, my legs trembling beneath me as we approach the car. I try to keep my balance since he’s moving fast, and walking in heels isn’t easy. The night air is chilly against my skin, a stark contrast to the warmth inside the ballroom.

Zorin yanks the car door open and shoves me inside like utter trash. My head collides with the seat in front of me, a sharp pain spreading across my forehead.

I let out a cry of pain as I clutched at the throbbing spot. The alphas never physically hurt me, and now I am in shock at how he is treating me right now.

“Please,” I whisper, tears streaming down my face. “I didn’t mean to tell him anything about us.”

But it’s no use. My door slams shut. He’s angry as hell as he stomps to the driver’s side, closing the door quietly as he enters.

Tears roll down my face as the car engine roars to life.

Raul, Aleks, and Thomas climb into the backseat. Zorin’s face is a mask of fury as he starts shouting at them about what I said at the ball and how I’ve embarrassed the entire pack.

My heart hammers in my chest, fear gripping me tightly, making it hard to breathe.

“Look at her,” Zorin spits, gesturing toward me with disgust. “Clueless and useless. She’s so deformed that even her eyes are a different color. No wonder he couldn’t stay away.”

“Don’t think for a second he was interested in you, Lena,” says Aleks coldly as I stare straight ahead at the street signs zooming past us, trying to hold back my tears as my arm throbs with lingering pain.

Thomas leans forward slightly, his voice low and emotionless. “If you had any real value, we would’ve marked you already.”

I shrink further into myself, wishing I could disappear.

I’ve never felt so humiliated or frightened with Zorin and his pack. As we drive through a dark road, I’m silently praying to just get to my room once we reach home without any of them knotting me.

Suddenly,the car screeches to a halt. Zorin yanks the door open and grabs me by my hair, dragging me out of the vehicle and into the cold air.

We weren’t at home but in an unfamiliar place.

The rain pelts against my face as I cry out in terror, forced onto the ground by his brutal strength.

“What are you doing?!” I shriek, tears streaming down my face. “I didn’t mean to talk to another alpha at all. You are the only alpha I care about.”

“Silence,” Zorin barks, his voice crackling like the thunder around us. “This will be the last time you ever embarrass the pack.”
