Chapter 158
A bone deep sadness.
(Anna)
Dropping myself onto the top step of the stairs I lean my head against the wall and close my eyes.
There is no point in going to bed, Aurora had a bath and then I put her down to sleep, she’s been
awake four times since then. Screaming out for me or Fraction, scared we aren’t there and that
someone has taken her again.
“Everything okay, little Omega?” I look up to see Elder Thomas standing at the bottom of the stairs look
up at me, I smile a little when I see him in blue pyjamas. I’ve never seen the man outside of his Elder
robes.
“Aurora is having trouble sleeping.” I tell him as I settle back against the wall.
“Ah, I thought I heard some wailing. I assumed it was the other pup, not Aurora.” He walks up the steps
until he’s just two down from me and sits down looking up at me. “You seem tired, I thought having
everyone home would make you happy.”
“It does, I am happy.” I look down at him, his face ispletely nk, there is no judgement there. “I’m
also very sad, I can feel it down in my bones. Aurora is scared and this is the one ce she should
always be happy and Fraction,” I run my hands through my hair. “He killed someone, for me. Again.”
“He didn’t kill for you little one, he killed for his family. He killed to keep you whole and together, trust
me, he feels no guilt for what he did.” As he tells me this I hear a mumbling over the baby monitor in my
hand so I pick it up and hold it to my ear. Aurora doesnt cry out

though it sounds as if she’s just moving around in her sleep, sighing I drop it back on the step next to
me.
“I can’t do this anymore.” I feel the tears slide down my face. “I feel like every time something gets fixed
in my life something else breaks, I don’t know how to keep it from breaking.”
“Didn’t your dreams with Ocean teach you anything?” Elder Thomas puts his hand on mine. “not
everything can be fixed. Just because something is different or has to be patched doesn’t mean it’s
broken.”
“I don’t dream of her anymore.” I admit to him. “I haven’t had a sewing dream in years.” I can’t say I
have obsessed about it much, after Ocean showed me who she really is I hoped I would never see her
again.
“Ocean can onlye into your dreams if you allow it, dream walking is a very rare gift but it’s not
without limitations.” Elder Thomas lets go of my hand and stands from the step. “if you wish I can sit
with her for a while. It might help soothe the pain and fear within her.”
“You can get in her head?” Elder Thomas nods his head rather than answering, “was my mother an
Omega?”
“No she wasn’t.” Elder Thomas gets a sad look in his eyes as I bring up his daughter. “my father was
the Omega.”
“There are male Omega’s?” I ask before I can stop myself.
“Of course, they are rare though. I thought the Omega blood had ski pped my generation but it seems it
just passed to you. I got some of the abilities but not the designation.” I look down at my hands and
start picking at my fingers.
“That’s why you can do what you do? Because you have some Omega in you?” Elder Thomas walks
past me up the stairs as I ask him about his designation. I can smell he is a Beta but the spicey smell to

blood now makes sense. “That’s why you smell different.”
“It is. Now I’m going to spend some time with my granddaughter if that’s okay?” I just nod my head as
he continues on into Aurora’s bedroom.
Clutching the baby monitor in my hand I listen as Elder Thomas sits himself down and then there is
nothing but silence. All I can hear is the soft snores from Aurora.
“Little woll?” I jump a little when I see Fraction walking up the stairs, “do we hang out on the stairs
now?”
“Aurora had another bad dream.” I tell him as he helps me up off the
step.
“Is she settled now?” Fraction asks, looking over my shoulder at the partly open door.
“Elder Thomas is with her, he said he can help her ovee the fear.” Fraction raises an eyebrow at
me.
“You took his help?” Fraction sounds shocked that I would,
“I’m too worried not to ept the help. What if she’s messed up for life? What if Eva taking her to that
ce has done damage that can’t be undone?” Fraction cups my face in his hands as I start to spiral
down in panic.
“Breath little wolf.” I take a few deep breaths, “I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to take his help. I’m just
surprised you did, it’s not like you have spoken to the man much since he dropped the family bomb.”
The door behind us closing has Fraction dropping his hands and looking behind me, “how is she?”
“She will be fine, the memories will fade more and more cach day.

Nothing untoward happened to her.” I relief flood my body as he tells us this. “Her biggest worry is
being taken again, I soothed that concern as much as I could. If I remove it totally a new fear will take
its ce.”
“My mother, did she see it?” I turn to see Elder Thomas shaking his head.
“Eva was very gentle with her and blocked her from seeing Beth.” Elder Thomas walks down the steps

past us, “just so you know. Eva was nothing but kind to Aurora, she went to visit her most nights and
helped her as much as she could. I don’t think that pup wanted to take Aurora at all.” With that Elder
Thomas walks back along the corridor towards his room.
“There, now can we go to bed?” I nod at Fraction as he sps my hand and leads me back to our
room. “Long day tomorrow.”
“What’s happening tomorrow?” I ask Fraction as I close the bedroom door to see him dropping his
jeans and climbing into our bed.
“I want to bury my mother tomorrow, it’s time for her to beid to rest.” I shimmy out of my leggings and
climb into the bed next to him.
“Of course you do.” I snuggle into him, cing my head over his heart, “I don’t want the pups there
though, they have been through so muchtely.”
“I agree, I’ll get one of the Pack members toe and watch over them.” Fraction squeezes me into
his side and ces a kiss on my head before leaning over to turn off themp.
Today has been a tough day and tomorrow will be another but I’m hopeful that soon we can put it all
behind us. I meant what I said to Elder Thomas, I’m so sick of being sad, of feeling scared. Maybe
once Momma Beth has beenid to rest we can move on and live our lives
