Page 74 of Claiming the Pack's Omega
Maybe it’s because of the glare I’m shooting all of them.
“You guys say you want me to see where things go,” I say. “You’re not giving me a very good impression of you guys. If you can’t even take care of each other, how can I trust you to have my back if I ever need you?”
My hand shakes slightly as I reach for the doorknob.
I’ve never spoken to an alpha like that. Sure, I’ve yelled at alphas before. A lot, if we’re being honest. Usually to get their grubby hands off of me. Or I’ve yelled at Dom to give me a bigger cut.
For some reason, this outburst is different. I care.
I mean, sure, I cared about getting the money I deserved or not being harassed at work, but I didn’t expect very much out of those men.
I did here.
And the Graylock pack has disappointed me today.
Turns out my knights in shining armor have their own skeletons in their closets and their own issues they’ve got to figure out on their own.
Unfortunately for them, I’m not in a state to save them if they’re drowning. Not at the expense of myself.
“Where are you going?” Stone asks quietly.
The pack is lucky Stone was the one that asked. I would’ve probably responded to Theo and Killian with something snarky.
“I need some fresh air. I’ll meet you guys at the loading zone at the front of the hospital.” I shoot Killian a glare. “See? Leaving the room like a normal person, no more jumping out of windows for me.”
Oh well, so much for being nice.
The heavy door shuts behind me with a thump.
CHAPTER 20
Reyna
Idon’t smoke, but God, does all that drama have me craving a cigarette.
Just like when I threw myself out of that window, I don’t feel the cold at first. There’s too much fire in my veins.
I guess having money, status, and power, as a Northside pack doesn’t mean life is all sunshine and rainbows. I don’t know whether it means their problems are ridiculously huge, if they can’t fix their problems with the resources they have, or they’re just terrible at confronting the fact that they have issues.
I pull up my family group chat. I miss them already.
Rey

Sav
