The Omega Princess

Chapter 40

"Why aren't you denying it?!" I scream as Dale looked on at me with a fevered shock, hot tears of fury threw themselves from my eyes, streaming their angry paths down my cheek until they fell from my chin. 

He shook his head, his eyes not quite meeting mine 

"I can't" 

"No!" I cried out 

"No!"  

Dale stood still as shook my head violently, my eyes dripping with more poisonous tears as the gravity beneath my feet shifted. I held him tightly but he remained limp in my arms, still with sorrow. I shook my head even more, Dale was my mate! As though to prove it I forced my lips upon his but his impassivity reduced the fireworks that would have spread across my lips. I tried again but he pushed me away gently restraining me.  

"Dale..." I whispered but he seemed not to hear me  

"It's best if we refrain from touching each other anymore, it'll make it easier" 

I ripped away from him falling to the floor with a mixture of sadness, frustration and confusion.  

"I'll reject him" I sobbed holding on to Dale's feet  

"No, you won't"  

More tears fell from his eyes, as the fact shot itself into my head. When I finally received my wolves I I might have feelings that would be hard to deny. But it could be done, Pietro had done it as had others before him. My case could have the same outcome. 

"You need each other. The Goddess designed your souls for the other"  

 Dale wouldn't look at me but I could see the pain in his eyes, it didn't matter what he was saying because it was clear that he loved me and that's all I needed to know for the moment. Yet my mind was in a rut if Dale knew then why did he pick me? Why did he mark me knowing full well we were headed down a path that would destroy all remnants of our hearts. 

He released me once he felt me slacken, he stepped back hesistantly as though he was expecting me to launch an attack on him but I couldn't. Instead I sat down on the bed behind me, when he had half dragged half carried me all I had been blinded with shock, I had screamed until the entire castle had be aroused eyes peering out to stare at me curious fear. But now a different emotion blinded me, I was angry with realisation the both Dale and Kai had known for a long time perhaps even before I had arrived here and neither of them had told me. 

"Don't go" I whispered as I heard the door handle turn 

Dale froze but let go, leaning against the door his eyes avoiding mine. His tears had dried but mine hadn't. My cheeks were wet, I wiped them away my eyes hardening as I looked up at him. 

"I want to know everything" 

He opened his mouth but I didn't give him an opportunity to continue as I grabbed the nearest object and threw it against the door, narrowly missing him. He looked shocked and I had to admit that I was also surprised, it was just that all this pent of fury burst out. I had known that they were hiding something from me but I had never believed that it would be something so significant. It didn't even make any sense, I was mated to Dale I had yet to put my mark on him but he was still my mate. Had they expected me to jump from one brother to the other the moment I became the black wolf, that wasn't how love worked. 

I did not doubt that I would become attracted to Kai, perhaps I already was but I wouldn't love him. Any bond between us would mean nothing, and if I could reject him then I would. I already had a mate. 

Dale sighed deeply and then sunk against the door, sitting cross legged like a child. His usually tranquil face, betrayed him with a range of emotions guilt, pain, jealously and rage. He looked up at me his eyes swirled with an accent of grey telling me that Farran had joined us. It was rare to see Dale seem out of control or angry, but there was a quiet fury that resonated from him as though he were mirroring my very emotions.
