“As you all know there had been an incident last night. It left a bit of a bitter taste in our mouths re garding the mates we have. Not everybody is blessed to have more than one mate but it doesn‘t mean you get to stick with both of them. You can pick and drop whoever you want. In Jim‘s case, he got rejected,” Mr. Tripper was in no way concerned for Jim. The way he introduced everybody to his situation seemed like a slap.
He was trying to rile him up for his toy.
“With that being said, he will get a chance to get his anger out on someone because lucky for him, he sits in a power hierarchy. So, we will let this decision in the hands on Jim to pick one Omega that he can torture until he feels better,” those words stabbed me in the heart like a silver dagger.
To think we were just here to entertain them was so sad and heartbreaking.
All my life, I have heard I am not good enough because I am an Omega and now they were taking it up the notch.
All the Omegas had their heads down in fright of accidentally making eye contact with Jim.
Jim stayed silent for a moment and then gasps heaved across his lips. I bet he was pointing at some one. My blood started to run cold, I wondered who it was?
As I slowly raised my face, I caught eyes on me. He had his finger pointing at me, he had chosen me.
“am sony? What did you say?” I asked him without lowering my voice like he was doing I didn‘t care if anybody hear us, he had crossed all the limits when he thought asking me for her number will be appropri
“I want her number,” he didn‘t look slightly shaken up by my response. It looked like he didn‘t even care what will think of him.
I kept glaring at him as I prepared all sorts of cuss words in my head to yell at him.
7 don‘t have her number,” after giving it a thought and calming myself down, I finally responded to him in the way he deserved.
“There is no way you don‘t have your sister‘s number,” he shook his head because he didn‘t believe me.
“Well, the sister who stole my mate and lied in the court and got me in all this mess? I am afraid | wouldn‘t want to have her number even if she is the last person alive,” my emotions spoke loudly as I looked him in the eye.
“You think if you don‘t get me her number, I won‘t be able to find it myself?” that wasn‘t the response I. expected from him but what can I say anyway?
“Then go and find it yourself,” I muttered, pushing him to the side and getting out of the bathroom in haste.
As I was passing Maynard‘s bed, I swear I saw his eyes open. I stopped and looked at him but he was sleeping still. I wouldn‘t want to be caught sneaking into the bathroom with the one who cares nothing about me.
The next day started with chaos, Maynard and Lazlo had an argument about whose side of the room will get fixed first.
stood with Maynard‘s bed, who was watching porn and having an argument.
“It is not our fault that you got attacked. I want my side fixed first,” Maynard shrugged his shoulders and complained.
“You are getting on my nerves now,” Lazlo grunted.
I couldn‘t help but think these boys cannot survive in the same room for more than a day. The school needs to start soon or they will eat each other alive. Thiago had left the premises early morning after he made up some excuse to the Principal regarding his business in his pack.
“Let‘s ask a third person who should get the furniture first,” It was Lazlo who suggested that but then their eyes landed on me and the two shook their heads.
“Never mind, she will never take my side,” Lazlo groaned as he recalled how he reacted to me the last day and hurt me.
“She wouldn‘t take my side either, don‘t worry!” the scoff and sarcastic smile from Maynard proved my point right.
He was awake last night and saw me coming out of the bathroom with Thiago.
“Why, what did you do?” Lazlo was now curious to know how Maynard messed up too,
“I saw her coming out of the bathroom with Thiago last night. One could only wonder how long they were in there,” Maynard was trying to sound unbothered but the way his jaw clenched told me some other story.
“What? you were with him? what did you two do in there?” Lazlo forgot he had apologized to me last night and began acting the same aggressive way as before.
“I am not answerable to any of you,” i said under my breath and not raising my eyes at thern anymore.
emotions. He slammed his phone in the bed and got up to attend the bathroom.
7 can‘t believe this,” Lazlo too complained, grabbing his coat and leaving the room. They were Alphas, they can make up lies to leave the room at daytime.
Maynard came out of the bathroom but didn‘t utter a word to me and left the room after Lazlo. Now it was only me with countless different thoughts running in my head.
I had charged my phone but didn‘t get a chance to go through it until now. Sitting comfortably in the bed, I unlocked the screen and checked the last ever conversation with Corbin before it all went down.
My Corbin: I will celebrate your birthday in a way that everybody will remember it for decades.
Me: Really? What are you planning Corbin?
My Corbin: I will throw the biggest party and claim you mine. Honestly Enya! I cannot live a day without you now.
Tread the texts and tears sprung down my eyes. Just a few weeks ago, I was the happiest girl alive. Corbin and I hardly ever fought and he kept reminding me how he will make my 18th birthday special, well, we held his promise.
He made it memorable.
It was then my attention was diverted to my social media accounts. I opened my FB account and real ized how everybody had now unfollowed me. I had tons and tons of messages from everyone as they slut shamed me and made fun of me.
They used to at least try to be nicer to be out of the fear of Corbin but now that he too ditched, nobody cared about my feelings.
I was snapped out of my past memories when I saw a picture on my timeline. It was posted by Elaine and she had tagged me in it along with many of her other friends.
She seemed to have an early morning date with someone. The someone whose only one arm was visi ble in the picture. If it had been someone else, I would have never guessed but it was Thiago so I recog
nized his arm.
Did he take her out on a date?
My heart rate began to slow down as I stared at the screen. The comments were so positive and en couraging. The fact that Corbin made her confess lies and then left her just spoke a lot about her.
He used her and they didn‘t mind being used by him.
It was funny and heartbreaking at the same time that Elaine was always the one to steal my mates.
“That one was a mess,” Maynard and Lazlo entered the room again with food in their hands. They have left to cheer up and it seemed like, they were doing fine now.
I bet they saw me sitting in the bed with my head down but ignored it.
“Did you hear about the hurricane? They kept fooling everyone by calling it a storm until today. We need to grab as much as stuff as we can for tomorrow‘s night though,” Lazlo jumped in his bed and began to much carelessly
There was a hurricane due?
“Ah! Thiago! Where did you leave for?” My body shuddered when I heard Maynard calling Thiago‘s name. He had just arrived after he had almost spent his entire morning with Elaine. I was starving here and he was having breakfast with her.
What a useless excuse for a mate.
“I had to make a quick run for my pack,” his voice sounded so sneaky when he tried to lie.
“What he means to say is that he was on a date,” I didn‘t hold back too. He was the reason my mates think I was in the bathroom with him, they should know what we were doing in there.
“What?” Lazlo got all excited to hear about it. It was indeed entertaining to hear it from me after they thought Thiago and I had a thing going in behind their backs.
“I wasn‘t on a date,” Thiago didn‘t spare a moment before yelling at me.
“Really? So tell them you were not on a date with my sister, tell them,” I got off the bed and yelled at the top of my lungs. I bet I heard someone heave a gasp in shock
“Your sister?” Lazlo came forward, watching Thiago‘s face who was glaring at me in anger for exposing him.
“That slug? She was so weird and rude to Enya. Why would you go out with her?” Maynard supported me and questioned Thiago‘s actions.
“It is not her fault that she is her sister.” He spoke up and hurt me right away.
I bobbed my head, laughing hysterically.
“I made a mistake when I confided in you about my past. You did a wonderful job using it to hurt my feelings.” I broke down but then laughed to divert their attention away from the tears leaving my eyes.
“What is going on? what past?” Lazlo questioned in concern.
“I don‘t think it is the right thing to do. Flirting with your mate‘s siblings is not the right thing to do,” Maynard added, “But we respect your feelings,” his sudden turn of opinion shocked me into watching his face.
Even Lazlo looked bewildered upon Maynard‘s changing statement.
“Look! We cannot force someone into liking someone. If a mate bond couldn‘t do it, that means nobody can do it,” he tried explaining himself and Thiago looked at ease now.
“He should just reject Enya and peruse things with her sister,” His suggestion surprised me but he wasn‘t wrong.
However, it was Thiago who looked more shocked than anybody else.
“I think Maynard is right. You should reject her and then be on your way and accept her sister.” Even La zlo suggested to Thiago that he should reject me.
I stared at the two and realized what they were trying to do, eliminating the competition even when they didn‘t want me for themselves
“K” Thiago then opened his mouth after they have suggested to him the worst idea.
Twas going to get rejected once again and just like the previous time, my sister and my mates‘ betrayal became the reason.
