FALLING FOR A HEARTLESS BETA

=-Amber’s POV=-

For a few minutes, I just stared at the door after he left. How could he just leave, right after he used my body for his own pleasure? He may not love me but the least he could do was to be gentle with me or even console me afterward. However, he did no such thing, and he just left…and vanished from my sight.

Oh God, why was he so heartless?

Since that day, I would cry helplessly at night. He has made me into his exclusive whore, and what’s worse, I couldn’t say no to him. At any time of the day, whenever he felt the urge to satisfy his sexual needs, he would come into my room, and he would use my body any way he wanted.

Any sane woman would complain or find a way to escape from the horrible situation I was in, but I wasn’t sane. I was crazy for him. I was totally insane to gain his love in the near future.

I believed that if I could satisfy his sexual cravings, he would learn to love me very soon. Sooner or later, he would find it in his heart that he couldn’t let me go. I just have to wait a little bit longer.

Still, I wouldn’t be able to forget his face every time he would leave me alone after the intercourse. He looked as if he dreaded even visiting me but he had no choice. He made me feel so ugly and his last option.

For me, it was painful to bear, to see him loathe my body after using it over and over again, but I am still willing to endure it. I may be crazy but I was willing to endure anything when it comes to Dale.  He would never hear me complain as long as I could endure the pain of his abuse and indifference.

It seemed to me that Dale liked to torture me physically or even emotionally. I really had no idea why he was so heartless when it comes to me. Didn’t he know that we were mates? How could I tell him that?

Or maybe he knew but he just let it slide because of his ambition. Maybe he ignored the fact that we were probably destined for each other because of his greed! He was so greedy and hungry for revenge against Alpha Marcus.

Honestly, I had no idea how he could avenge everyone who was involved in his revenge plan because of the current Alpha. He was friends with Alpha Jacob, and yet, he wanted to seek revenge against Jacob’s family.

One morning, I was busy in the kitchen, preparing our breakfast when I felt the need for the throw-up. I have always known that the scent coming from crushed garlic could trigger my morning sickness, but he loved everything with garlic on it.

As I continued to crush the garlic for the fried egg rice, I took a deep breath to relax. Then, I went to get a cup of hot water. It always helped, and then I put in a pinch of salt.

“Good morning!”

I was flabbergasted when I heard his voice. It wasn’t his doing to check on me while cooking in the kitchen.

“Did I do something wrong, Dale?” I asked in confusion.

“Nope. Anyway, you look pale this morning. How are you feeling?”

When he asked about my well-being, goodness, my heart almost skipped a beat! His question seemed to be genuine, and the way he looked at me, it was as if he was really worried about me.

“I’m good, don’t worry, just the normal morning sickness,” I told him.

“Well, I already told you what you should do about it, Amber,” he said.

“It’s not an option for me, Dale. I can’t get rid of the baby,” I reminded him about my stand regarding the termination of my pregnancy.

I mean, how could he even suggest that horrible solution to me?

“That baby will only cause you some problems,” he said.

“Such as?”

“Such as getting married, Amber. I have asked Dale for a suitable man to be your husband. You should be grateful for my generosity, otherwise, you will end up just like the other omegas.”

“Are you saying that I should be thankful to you for selling me to a stranger?”

“He’s not a total stranger, Amber. You are going to be the wife of Jacob’s stepbrother. You know he has a lot of stepbrothers since Alpha Marcus was a bastard.”

“Dale, what are you talking about? I thought you are just kidding about my marriage!”

“Of course not! Why do I joke around? Anyway, is my breakfast ready?” he asked.

“Yes, please sit down. I will serve it hot on the table,” I told him.

“Good. I like you for being submissive, Amber. I am sure that your future husband will also be grateful to have a submissive wife like you,” he continued.

“Are you really going to give me to another man?” I asked in disbelief that he could do it to me.

For everything that we did together, I really expected that he would fall on me but it seemed it was not going to happen anytime soon. He was so set on marrying me to another guy, even while knowing that I am carrying his child.

“Yes. One of these days, I will take you to Claybourne where Jacob’s brother was living. Compared to Claybourne, you will be better off in Clayland, Amber.”

“It’s the countryside!”

“Yes, it is the countryside, however, you can live there as a mistress, and not just a maid. Imagine being the mistress of your own home, having money on your own because Jacob’s brother was generous I heard. You just have to play your card well,” he warned me.

“How can you do this to me, Dale? Since that day, you are cruel to me!”

“I’m sorry but that’s all I can say right now, Amber. Honestly, I feel bad for you but you came in handy during that situation. Besides, you shouldn’t blame everything on me. It was you who asked me to impregnate you, Amber.”

Yes, it was true. I was the one who started it, but he should have realized that I have fallen for him as the days went by. He should have known that our constant intercourse has made me fall for him, despite his being heartless.

I have a lot to talk to him but I knew it would just be useless. Dale was set on shipping me to Clayland, to marry me off to a certain stranger, regardless if it was Jacob’s brother.

I took another deep breath as I carried the tray containing his breakfast. He just look up when I served a bowl of hot chicken soup in front of him.

“I hope you like it,” I said before going back to the kitchen to retrieve his drink.

When I returned to the table, he invited me to sit down. Of course, I had to refuse the invitation since I still have to cook my food. I don’t like chicken and I preferred to have seafood soup in the morning.

“Join me,” he said.

“Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t like chicken,” I admitted the truth.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Then, you can eat the other dish, Amber. Come on, sit down and join me,” he insisted.

“As you wish, Dale,” I replied.

“By the way, let me remind you something, Amber. Even if you are already married to Jacob’s stepbrother, you are still my person,” he said.

I frowned at his statement because it was confusing.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I mean, whenever I am there, you have to serve me, too. Just like the usual,” he said.

“Why don’t you just kill me?”

“Not yet. You are still useful to me, Amber. Anyway, you have nothing to worry about Jacob’s brother. I heard he is impotent, so probably, he wouldn’t try to penetrate you with his manhood. Still, he may ask you to pleasure him with your mouth,” he continued.

“Dale!” I exclaimed in disbelief that he could say such disrespectful words to me. “For goodness sake, did you really have to say that?”

“Why not? We are business partners, Amber.”

“Partners? How come? I am your slave, and never your partner, Dale,” I correct him.
