Claiming The Rejected Omega

Chloe bit her lips as she rose up from the bench. It’s been hours, yet she had not shifted for a moment. She had been running over the billion things she could do to escape the hell she was in, but she was still running short of ideas. Every link led to Aiden, and it was so frustrating.

She didn’t know this man well, so she couldn’t ask for help. She kept drafting up worst case scenario’s where he might harm her, but it seemed so farfetched. Prince Aiden had been so kind to her, so it would be nearly impossible.

“You’ve made our jobs easier. We shall take you to Alpha Fletch now,” one of the guards said.

Chloe almost had a heart-attack. Why had they come back again? Fine, she was definitely a distance away from the pack house, but she had requested for some time. She didn’t understand anything at all.

“But…”

Without hearing her say a word, they grabbed her buy either side of her hands, and then, led her to the pack house. She kept trying to explain that she had not done anything wrong, but no-one was listening to her. They dragged her forcefully till they got her in front of Alpha Fletch.

“I didn’t tell you to drag the poor girl, did I?” He asked easily.

Chloe looked at the Alpha in fear. Deep into her heart, she knew that the man had not told them to be gentle with her. He was lying through his nose, but she honestly didn’t care what he did or didn’t do anymore. All that mattered was that she was out of this mess.

There was no telling what Alpha Fletch would do to her if she tried to deny him the right to to do things as he pleased, and she needed to avoid that so much. No-one was going to save her right now, so she had to use her brain right now.

She watched as Alpha Fletch got up from his high stool, and walked over to her. This time, the queen wasn’t there. She tried not to show how scared she was and failed because her lips were literally quivering as her eyes centred on him.

“They are pretty mannerless to the future Luna of the Break-stone pack. Please, ignore them,” he said easily.

Chloe bit her lip as she prayed inwardly for the moon goddess to help her. The man was as fake as ever, and it bother her so much. He flipped his fingers and the guards let her go immediately. Chloe staggered slightly, and tried to get her bearings, but failed.

She could feel the calloused palm of Alpha Fletch on her skin as he stabilised her. She mumbled her thanks, but she didn’t really feel so grateful.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“If you allow my son to hold you by the arm, you will not fall,” he said easily. Chloe said nothing. “Ah, well, have you made your decision?”

There was something about his tone that made her stomach tighten in knots. Before she could stop herself, she was nodding.

“I don’t understand signs. Will you mate with my son, Liam Fletch, the future Alpha of the Break-stone pack?”

She gulped in fear. “Yes, I will,” she said in a panicked tone.

“Yes, I dd it!” Alpha Fletch said happily. He moved away from her and then shouted in a loud voice. “Liam, please come and claim your mate as you should!”

Chloe was filled with dread. What had she just done? Her hands shook and she struggled to keep it by her side, but failed to do so, so she held her top fiercely instead. She felt cold panic rock through the whole of her. She was horrified at so many things, and this tops the cake.

In the same breath, Alpha Fletch ordered the guards to bring her things to live with Liam. She was so shocked by the whole process. She didn’t remember that she had agreed to start living here. But, she couldn’t speak either because of fear.

“Father,” Liam said easily as he strolled in.

Chloe looked at her supposed mate, and felt the icy hands of dread rock her spine. It was the first time since the party that she had seen him. He was dressed in an open-necked shirt and jeans. If he had imagined that it would make him look hot, it had the opposite effect because it was completely gross and disgusting to look at.

“I have to be the best news for you,” Alpha Fletch said.

Liam smirked. “Has she agreed?”

Chloe swallowed hard. The way he spoke about her like she was not in the same room with him. It was as if she meant nothing. Oh, please scratch that! She definitely did not mean anything to him. She knew in her heart that it was a way to make him win against the royal family, and the fact she was letting this to happen…

“She has, son,” Alpha Fletch said easily. Liam smirked, and his eyes finally settled in hers. She gulped out of fear. “I have told them to bring her things to the pack house. I mean, the damn seer said she was allowed to choose so she had made her choice. There is no use waiting for the next ball, it is a waste of time.”

Liam nodded, still looking at Chloe. “I agree with you, father. That Prince must not have a chance with her. She is my property and no-one can change that.”

***

Later that night, Chloe was seated at the edge of the bed. She had been ordered by Liam to sit down on it before she allowed herself to. She couldn’t get over what he had said that she was his property. The fact that he didn’t see her as an equal spoke volumes. None of these was real. She was in a sham of a bond, and nothing more.

The realisation of this flawed her senseless, and she cursed herself for accepting under duress. Now, she was forced to stay here, and act like she happy when she wasn’t. She cleaned the tears that leaked from her eyes.

Oh, yes, she had been crying since she left the Alpha’s presence and was brought to this room. The tears didn’t seem to stop. And, she didn’t want it to stop. It was her solace and comfort because she had messed up her chances.

She felt the bed dip, but didn’t turn back. She felt Liam’s hand travel up her arms, and all she wanted to do was throw-up. But, she didn’t move either. His lips slowly touched her earlobe in a kiss. Chloe shot up out of bed, and turned towards the burning lamp at the corner of the room.

Her breathing was fast, and she was angry and severely pained. She remembered all the time he had shoved his relationship with Emily down her throat, and made her feel like she was unworthy of low. Now, what the hell was going on? What had changed?

Why did he think it was ok for them to carry on without apologising properly? What type of sick man had the moon goddess paired her with?

“What’s your problem? You keep crying like the world is coming to an end. Didn’t you want me, and my meat for years? So, what’s all these drama all about, Chloe?” Liam snapped at her.

She looked at him, and despite the blurry eyes, she managed to see his irritation. For a minute, she wondered if he would hit her. Oh, she didn’t care anymore if he actually did. She was not going to have anything to do with him sexually.

“I’m asking you something. Bi-”

She gasped in shock. Did he want to call her a bitch! Chloe watched as he cursed fluidly, grabbing the shirt on the floor and making his way out of the door. She stood for close to 10 minutes, and then, slid down on the tiles.

“I’ve made a mistake,” she mumbled to herself.

Chloe couldn’t believe she had said yes to such a man. She pulled her hair out of her face, and tried hard not to cry. Every part of her body was shaking. She realized then that these people never wanted her happiness.

She needed to get out of here. She didn’t know how since she didn’t want Prince Aiden’s help. The thought of him made her heart warm. She could remember how he had treated her so kindly. Though, she kept telling herself that all men were the same, she felt like she was deceiving herself. Prince Aiden, and Liam were not the same people.

Liam had no single atom of kindness in his body, and that made her slightly weak. Chloe turned towards the door. That word Liam almost called her removed the scars from her eyes. She needed to think hard about her next plan. Staying in this pack would be nothing short of a nightmare if she missed a step. There was no way she was going to be marked by Liam. She would never allow that to happen!
