Daemons of London Boxset (Books 1-3) The Bleeders, The Human Herders, The Purebloods

by Michaela Haze

  “When did you arrive in Hertfordshire?” Jack asked politely. His eyes shine with excitement. An Alpha’s presence means that it’s really happening. The trials.

  I shift uncomfortably in my seat. Alpha Reed is burning a hole in my cheek but I ignore him and take a sip of water. My eyes are trained on a blemish on the table cloth.

  “I arrived yesterday. I must say, I wasn’t expecting to see any students before the beginning of the semester.” Alpha Reed leans forward and takes a piece of bread from the basket. He breaks off a piece and slowly pops it into his mouth. He has all the confidence in the world. I guess that it’s natural when you lead a pack his size.

  “Oh, well, Wren stayed at the Academy over the summer.” Jack says flippantly and I want to kick him under the table.

  “What’s your Family name, Wren?” the Alpha asks delicately. “Why didn’t you spend the summer with your pack?”

  I don’t know why, but I’ve had enough.

  I stand up and pick up my handbag. I can’t take it anymore.

  I’m not good enough to be anyone’s mate. I’m just an Omega to Jack and I hate it. Jack said I was special but Jack was a liar.

  Just like everyone else.
