sink. “I’m going to take a walk and get some air.”
He didn’t wait to hear what anyone said and headed to the patio door. Once outside, he walked along the lake, finally letting the tears he had been holding in stream down his face. Why had he thought being here would be any different? Just because everyone else was a werewolf, he was still the odd man out. Not only was he just a human, but he was also a human freak who had psychic visions.
When he was over halfway around the lake, he fell to his knees and started sobbing. Owen had been asleep last night when the other Delta, Sebastian, and his mates had come over to hear about their situation. He’d been shocked when he’d gotten up and found himself alone in the bed.
Going in search of his mates, he found they all were already talking about his gift. Hiding his disappointment in Constantine and Christian for telling everyone about him, he tried to eat breakfast, barely choking down the food. He was so upset that he couldn’t even remember what he ate. Then the questions started just like they always did…
Can you predict the future?
What number am I thinking of right now?
And Owen’s all-time personal favorite, the question about knowing the winning lotto numbers.
He really had hoped that a group who was so different might understand what he went through better. But Owen had been fooling himself. He would be better off on his own. Owen had made the mistake of trusting again, and once again, Owen had been betrayed.
“Get off me! Don’t fucking touch me,” Owen shouted when he felt arms encircle him. “Just leave me alone! You’ve done enough fucking damage.”
“What did we do?” Constantine asked. He instantly let go of Owen. “We just wanted to come out and make sure you were okay, baby.”
“I’m not your baby,” Owen snapped, looking up at Constantine . Whatever was on Owen’s face made Constantine and Christian shrink from him. “I trusted you…again! And look where it’s gotten me.”
“Owen, we don’t know why you’re so upset,” Christian said, kneeling in front of him carefully as if trying to appease an upset mental patient. That really set Owen off into his anger.
“Of course you don’t know.” Owen laughed bitterly and stood. “You both have your heads up your asses too far to see what you’ve done!”
“That’s enough.” Constantine growled and looked at Owen, the anger on his face showing in the tight tension in his jaw.
Good! If Owen were pissed and hurt, at least he could share the wealth with his mates.
“I don’t know why you’re upset, Owen, but there’s no reason to talk like this to us. You need to calm down and just…”
“Or what?” Owen yelled, standing there with his hands on his hips. “What if I don’t? Are you going to beat me up? Are you guys going to go all wolf on me and put the little freaky human in his place?”
“Of course not,” Constantine said. The anger slipped from Constantine ’s face to be replaced with a look like he’d been smacked by Owen. “We would never hurt you, Owen.”
“Too fucking late, asshole,” Owen screamed as loud as he could before he turned and ran. He didn’t have a clue where he was running, but anywhere had to be better than being there. Unable to see because of the tears, he tripped several times. Righting himself, he kept right on running blindly.
When his legs started to burn, he finally slowed to a walk. After walking for what seemed like hours, he sat on the ground. He needed to rest a bit before going back and getting his car. Owen didn’t want to be there another minute with any of them.
His anger was almost a living, breathing being of its own, working through him until he saw nothing but red rage. He was so stupid for believing in Christian and Constantine and all their lies about wanting to love him, putting his needs before their own. What a crock of shit! Fine, they were attracted to him and wanted sex. But they still treated
