OLIVIA’s POV
‘There is no need to keep you around, Olivia’ Those words kept playing in my ears in an unhealthy manner.
I tried to process what he just said to me from another angle that would be in my favor, but his words were too clear, perplexing me for over a minute.
“I only kept you here for my sake and our agreement has expired,” Alpha Damon pronounced, throwing me off guard with his sudden coldness towards me.
I thought that he would never show me this side of him that people talk about and fear, but I was wrong.
The look on his face right now screams irritation and a burning anger that he does not want to let out just yet.
“I advise you to go out there and search for your mate. It’s high time you left because I don’t want to be seeing you around here anymore. It will make Hazel uncomfortable,” he added.
For the first time in my life, I felt my heart shatter. I stumbled backward as Alpha Damon pushed me out of the way and left with his supposed mate.
Just within two months, I am no longer Alpha Damon’s favorite. What did I do wrong that he couldn’t give me a chance to explain or apologize?
The moon goddess must hate me so much for making me go through this again.
I stood there, drenched in the rain that hid my tears underneath it. Alpha Damon promised he would protect me. He said he would never let me go unless I found my mate, but he just tossed and shoved me aside.
There is no difference between him and my uncle and his family. Or is it my fault? Was I born to be dumped around?
Even though he has found his mate, he doesn’t have to treat me this way, nor feel bad about the whole of my existence.
I felt betrayed, used, and confused. I am only 18. What should I do? Where does Alpha Damon want me to start from?
Going back to my uncle’s house will never be an option for me. I bet they will send me away too or make me their subordinate once again.
My family doesn’t want me and I have been stripped of my title as the Alpha’s mistress and my mate is nowhere in sight. Can it get any worse?
After several minutes had passed, I pulled myself to my room. Right there on my bed was a worried Zania. She ran towards me the second she noticed me.
“You are dripping wet, Olivia. You could have waited for the rain to stop before coming back. You might end up catching a cold,” Zania’s concerned voice faintly echoed in my ear.
She was standing close to me, yet her voice felt distant. With her support, I sat down on the bed, ignoring the fact that I was wet.
I was no longer in the rain that was hiding and washing away my tears anymore. My tears were noticeable. I could feel the hotness on my cheeks.
“Are you okay? Did something happen?” Zania asked, covering me with a blanket, seeing that I was not going to stand up to change even though I was trembling from the cold.
It was the least of my concerns. I wished that my entire existence would be a lie. I wanted to wake up from this painful dream.
Were all the promises Alpha Damon made to me lies? He said he would never let me go until I found my mate. He said he would never let anyone hurt me, but he just did the same thing to me.
“I am fine,” I replied dryly. I wiped my tears with my thumb.
“Do you want me to get you anything?” she asked while I shook my head in response. “I just want to sleep,” I answered.
Zania stared at me for a while and nodded her head at me. “I will leave you to sleep, then. Please stop crying. Everything will be fine,” she assured me. I could only nod my head because my voice would betray me if I chose to speak.
After she left, I curled myself on the bed with the bedsheet wrapped around me. My mind was hazy, and all I wanted to do at that moment was to cry myself to sleep.
Maybe it’s high time I take Karen’s advice and disappear from everyone’s life.
^^^^^^^^
One Month Later….
I woke up to the light tap on my shoulder, that was accompanied by an infuriated hiss. I looked up to see my boss throwing daggers at me as his flashlight on my face nearly blinded me.
“I don’t know if you are here to work or sleep, Olivia, but right now, I need to close my store,” he spoke harshly.
“I am sorry,” I apologized, grabbing my bag and made to stand up, but he tossed some money on me before I could stand up.
“You don’t expect me to pay you for a full day when you only worked for four hours and slept away the rest of the day, right?” he asked.
I picked up the money from my body and stood up with a sigh.
“This is why I hate employing omegas. You are too poor and lazy to work. If you know that you can’t work, don’t come back here tomorrow,” he screamed, pushing me out of the door.
His words stung, but I could not say anything back to him because he was right, except that I was not lazy. I just don’t feel fine and that has been making me sleep a lot.
It has been a month of being alone, a month since I left the tower, and a month since the last time I saw Alpha Damon.
Being all on my own and struggling to survive has not been easy, coupled with the fact that I am an omega. There is little to no regard for me, and no one wants to associate with me.
I have been working to save up some money for house rent, and currently, I am staying in a warehouse with people who are just like me, but it’s not a healthy and safe place.
After leaving the tower, I was hoping that Alpha Damon would launch a search for me, but I was being delusional.
I made myself believe that I was special to him and that he would look for me when he saw that I left as he instructed, but I was wrong.
He must have not cared about me from the beginning. Alpha Damon used me, played with my feelings, and lied to me.
Exhaling, I climbed the corridor of the infirmary, making my way to the physician’s office.
I was here this morning for a general check-up but I couldn’t wait to get the result because I was getting late for work.
Good thing you are here, Miss Hunter. I have been waiting for you,” the physician said upon sighting me. “Good evening, Sir” I greeted.
“I thought you would come with your mate. Why are you here alone?” he asked, gesturing for me to sit down on the chair in front of him.
“I don’t have a mate, yet,” I answered and the expression on his face changed to a frown.
“Miss Hunter, are you aware that you are three months pregnant?”
The world around me instantly faded into a blur as the physician’s words hit me. A sudden, involuntary gasp escaped my lips, my breath snagging painfully in my throat.
My chest heaved, trying to draw in air, but it felt like I was suffocating on nothing as I struggled to process what I had just heard.
My hands flew to my mouth, and my entire body froze in the grip of shock.
How did I end up getting pregnant with a man who has a mate and why did I just discover that now?
