Resistant Omegas 5: Dewey by Joyee Flynn (black books to read .txt) 📗

shaking my head. “I just want to not beat around any bushes and tell you what you need to know so that you don’t keep me apart from the man I love.”

“Okay, then let’s start with Taggart. How did you guys meet?”

That brought a smile to my face immediately just thinking about it. “The first full moon after my claiming ceremony Alpha Hooker informed me I was going to be the prize for a pack hunt. I was enraged, scared, and worried for so many reasons. Taggart won me. I saw this gorgeous, huge wolf racing over the pack lands towards me and suddenly I wasn’t afraid anymore. Then he shifted into the most handsome man I’d ever seen.”

“What happened after he won you? From my understanding the winner got you for a week to do with as they pleased.” He frowned at the idea and I liked George a little bit more and relaxed.

“We had to have sex right there, but he wasn’t like Alpha Hooker or the Betas had been with me. It was like he was putting on a show that I was a toy but he did little things to make sure I didn’t get hurt.”

“For instance?”

“He waited to make sure I’d adjusted to the size of his dick by pretending he was out of breath from the chase,” I explained, still with that goofy in love grin on my face. “He lifted me onto his lap as if to take me deeper but it was so I didn’t get hurt on the rocks and twigs on the ground. Then he whispered in my ear to play along and scream in pain so no one knew I was enjoying it.”

“So he kept you safe,” George murmured as he wrote down some notes. “And after you left the pack lands and were alone?”

“He never touched me the whole week except to hug me when I was upset,” I answered with a sigh. “Taggart was a perfect gentleman. He didn’t take advantage of me and only went as far as putting an arm around me while we had a movie marathon.”

“Did he ever tell you why that was?” The man seemed intrigued now, and a little surprised.

“He said I was a man, a beautiful man, who shouldn’t be treated as a possession or award to be won. He told me that a man like me should be worshiped when I allowed it and never made to do anything I didn’t want to. Taggart still tells me that no matter how bad things get. He wants me to know that it’s not my fault I’ve been treated the way I have and only because my inner circle was a bunch of assholes. Real men don’t treat people the way I have been, he says.”

“He’s right,” George agreed with a smile. “Do you believe that?”

“Yes, in my head,” I admitted with a shrug. “It’s hard sometimes to understand that in my heart. I do feel like a possession with everyone else but him. I was sold by my parents, abused by my inner circle, and pimped out to my pack. It’s not supposed to be personal but to me it was very personal if that makes sense.”

“Yes, actually it does. It’s common for most Omegas, no matter what they’ve been through, to feel that way.”

“Because that’s how the Council sees us,” I griped bitterly.

“We’re working on that,” he replied softly, sympathy shining in his eyes. “One thing at a time, Dewey. You’re free from the hell you lived for too long. That’s step one. Step two is getting you to where you belong with a good pack and an inner circle that will treat you as you deserve. Once there, if you were so inclined, I know Tristan and Carson could always use help speaking with Omegas and giving the Council firsthand reports on how things are going.”

“Will the Council see the notes you take from our sessions?” I asked hesitantly, not sure if that would be a good or a bad thing. Carson trusted this man and I got the feeling he was very neutral in all things besides simply wanting to help. He didn’t seem to have any other agenda besides that.

“Not unless you want them to,” he hedged slowly, giving me a curious look. “They only get a summary and a recommendation of what course of action should be next to get you healthy again.”

“If I let them see everything will the people mentioned besides my inner circle be punished?” That was a big one for me. Ryan shouldn’t go free while my Alpha and Betas paid for their abuse.

“You’d have to testify at their hearing but if you gave me an official abuse report against someone in your old pack we can have them arrested.” He schooled his shocked reaction almost immediately. Yeah, I bet most had no clue that it wasn’t just the inner circles that abused Omegas… It could be most of the pack like mine had.

“Then I give you permission to show them everything,” I said quietly after a few moments of thought. “If the Council thinks the problem is solved by taking out the inner circle they could put another Omega there to be hurt as I was. You might want to get a recorder because I don’t think you could write this all down without your hand hurting.”

“Would you like to discuss this with Taggart before we proceed?”

“No, he supports whatever I choose,” I answered as I looked into his eyes. I knew what he was trying to figure out with the question. I’d read up on Stockholm syndrome and people suffering from it didn’t make choices of their own without deferring to their captors. “He wanted to run away to keep me safe. I was the one who wanted to come with Carson and give the Council a chance and he never complained and supported my choice.”

“You’re very smart, Dewey,” he said with a sigh as he pinched the bridge
