His Dominant Omega by Jarrett, J. (best books for 20 year olds .TXT) 📗

by letting him go to college. He never had any intentions of letting Cole have a life away from the pack, and once Cole figured it out he confronted his father. Nothing good ever came from questioning an alpha, and that was why Cole sat in an office filling out paperwork for a job.

Leaving his pack had been a tough choice. It was the only life he had ever known and he had never been apart from his brothers, Jacob and Joshua. They understood Cole’s need to leave but weren’t strong enough to follow suit. They would stay and follow their father to hell and back if the old man asked them to. His brothers were loyal to a fault. They were also strong as fuck. The stars were aligned the day his brothers had been born. Two identical, strong betas born to an alpha. It was like a werewolf lottery. Then to have a third son being an omega, some pack members joked that his father must of sold his soul to be so lucky.

Cole didn’t think himself lucky at all. It wasn’t until he met another wolf, Cody, on campus did he realize not all packs followed the old ways. Granted, he didn’t know they were the old ways until he talked with Cody then to his father. Cole also learned that his ability as an omega didn’t necessarily work on other wolves not raised to believe in an omega’s gift. Most packs just had an alpha and lived their lives the best way they could to fit in with human society. They didn’t think themselves better than other wolves or humans, unlike his father.

His father didn’t mingle well with others and didn’t like other wolves or humans on his property. Cole always found it funny that his father chose law enforcement for his career, considering that he basically hated everyone but his sons and pack members. But when he thought about it, his dad wasn’t always like this. It wasn’t until his mother was killed by a drunk driver that his father became prejudiced toward others.

Cole was only five when his mother died. She had taken him and his brothers to the local park. Joshua kicked a ball, and it went into the street. His mother told the older boys to stay put and keep an eye on him then jogged after it. She had just reached the ball when a car came whipping around the corner. The driver never saw her until it was too late.

He remembered seeing her body go flying up into the air at the initial impact. She fell into a heap at the side of the road, and the driver in the car sped away. Cole tried to run to her, but his brothers held him back. He stood there helpless while he watched other people in the park call for help.

Tears ran down his chubby little cheeks, but he didn’t make a sound. Joshua hugged him to his chest and held onto him until their father arrived. Everything that happened after that had been a blur. According to one of his professors his mind blocked out those harmful memories, and Cole had to agree. He didn’t want to think about it.

The door behind him opened up, and Cole turned to see an older man in his late forties standing in the entryway smiling.

“You must be Cole.” He held his hand out and Cole got up to greet him.

“Yes, sir.”

“Sir?” The man grinned at him. “I like that. You just might work out after all. Hopefully you can rub off some of those manners on the other fellows we got working here.” He patted Cole on the shoulder. “Sir’s nice, but you can call me Dave. You ready?”

Cole nodded his head and left the tax forms where Josef said to and followed Dave out the door. Dave said to just follow behind him. When he asked if Cole had a cell phone, Cole said no.

When Cole left the pack his father took that, too.

Dave said he’d have Cole work half the day then send him into town to get a cell phone. The company paid for all field employees to have a phone. Dave laughed and said it was to keep tabs on the guys. Cole didn’t care the whys of it but was grateful. He hated not having a phone, but until he found steady work he couldn’t afford it, and now he didn’t have to.

Forty minutes later Dave introduced him to a group of men. They were working on putting the roof on a house they had just finished constructing. Dave said they were planning on putting up the Sheetrock tomorrow, but today they wanted to finish the outside work as much as possible. It was supposed to rain later, and Dave didn’t want the inside to get wet or it’d set them back a day.

The rest of the day went by fast. One of the men, Jamie, took Cole under his wing and showed him the ropes. He gave Cole an extra tool belt with nails and a hammer. Jamie and Dave were both really helpful and answered all his questions, and before long Cole was working on his own. He had always been good with his hands. His brothers and he would help pack members with building projects, so this type of work wasn’t all that new to him.

Like Dave said, he had Cole call off around one. He gave Cole a card with Carsten and Son’s information and the place to go to get the phone. Cole tried to give Jamie back the tool belt, but he wouldn’t take it. Said Cole would need it tomorrow, and Cole thanked him and took the offered belt.

The drive to town was quiet because the radio
