Page 30 of Fortune Fae Academy

Blind terror enveloped me like a prey that had just run into a lion.

All I could see was fangs.

Sliced, catlike eyes of a predator.

Strong muscles and an unyielding body that would keep me prisoner.

“No!” I screamed, only for powerful arms to lock me in place.

And an Alpha’s command to lock around my heart.

“Be still, Omega.”

Unable to do anything but obey, I stared up at my captor.His voice was just as powerful as the waves of the control collar around my neck. But it remained dormant, whereas his voice was raw demand that ordered my body to obey.

Blue eyes of a powerful Alpha watched me with careful control.

Not Seifiek.

Axel.

“A-axel?” I asked with a stuttering breath.

He glanced at the retreating darkness, then turned to me. He studied my face for a moment and nodded. “Are you okay?”

Leaning into him, I didn’t understand the tears that sprung to my eyes. “I-I think so.”

I hated to feel like this. I was strong.

Powerful.

Untouchable.

But that memory had taken me back to a time when I had been a scared Omega in a Water Fae’s bed.

Called by her Alpha for the first time and dwarfed by a darkness that would crush me.

Then hit with a powerful, desperate need that made my legs shake.

And now I wished I hadn’t remembered it at all.

Because if I dwelled on the past, it would break me.

A Fortune Fae wasn’t meant to live in the past. The future was our home.

But the future I had set my path on took me right back to the Alpha I had run from.

Seifiek.

So where was home for me now?

Darkness had filtered outof the Web like dense smoke, only to slowly dissipate as quickly as it had arrived.

A shivering Omega buried herself in my arms. Her scent of need and fear filled my senses, making my chest burn.

I almost didn’t recognize this Gina, but I remembered her.

As well as the prophecy that Sibyl had once given me. One I’d thought had already come to fruition, but I knew this was the true vision she had seen.
