Opia

Part- three

Previously...

"Alpha, if I may, what are you going to do, you know, about our current situation?" I asked looking over at him.

"I don't know." he said, the helplessness and hurt showing themselves but he quickly masked it.

He laid back while still gazing up, I turned my attention back to the sky and laid beside him.

Yet again the situation dawned on me. We're in a fucked-up situation. But a new revelation came to light, as least I'm not alone. And maybe, just maybe, we could get through this, together.

Currently...

I woke up and when I checked my surroundings, I noticed I was in my room. I don't recall coming back to the pack house. The last thing I remembered was talking to Alpha Damien, well just Damien now.

My thoughts were interrupted by my stomach growling. I checked the time to see 10:26, yup definitely time to eat.

I made my way downstairs into the kitchen. Luckly no one was there so I started to make my all-time favorite, Nutella waffles.

Everything was going according to plan until I couldn't find the waffle maker. If I can't find this waffle maker, we're going to have a problem.

"What are you doing?" Startled I look up to see a little boy, maybe five or six years old.

"Making waffles, Nutella to be exact the best kind."

"I like waffles, my mommy lets me eat them all the time." He says to me.

It took my all not to say then go ask your mom to make you some. Kids are strange but interesting.

"Would you like some?" I asked to be polite.

"Yes please!" he said excitedly. Of course he said yes. But I couldn't help but laugh. He looked so adorable. I kind of like this kid.

"Alright but it's not free you have to help me. Have you ever made waffles before?" I asked.

"Nope."

"Okay well I made the batter, but I just need to find the waffle maker." I spoke.

"My dad says I'm the best finder ever!" he says looking through all the cabinets.

Speaking of his parents "Hey kid, where's your parents?", he just shrugged his shoulders.

Okay weird.

"I found it." he said.

"Thanks kid." I took the waffle maker and continued making us waffles. The kid wasn't much help but great company. After I let him decorate his waffles with Nutella and I don't how, but he got it everywhere.

"Ayden, what are you doing here." Alpha Damien entered the kitchen saying.

Then suddenly reality hit me. This is my mates child. I feel as though I should resent him. He is an obstacle between me and my mate. No, I can't blame him he didn't ask for this. The only person to blame is my mate.

"Uncle Damien she let me make waffles with her and they're so good she's really cool I like her!" Ayden said with a full mouth.

"Don't talk with your mouth full, you could choke." I said patting his back as he began to have a coughing fit.

"Yea I think so too." he said while looking at me. It sounded like there was a hidden meaning to it but maybe I'm overthinking.

"I'm done now, thank you lady!" with that he got off the stool and ran out the kitchen to goddess knows where. I was left in the kitchen with Alpha Damien, neither of us saying a word. I decided to break the silence.

"Thank you, for taking me back to my room."

"No worries, I enjoyed your presence." he said.

"Um Damien, have you spoken to them since?" after hearing that he sighed.

"No, I haven't."

"I think we should talk to them together. I want to know why; we can't just pretend everything is okay." I said.

He looked down like he was processing the words I just said.

"You're right. Let's do it." with that he grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the kitchen upstairs.

"Wait like right now, right now, I didn't mean like right this second!" before I knew it, we reached a bedroom.

We entered and there sat my mate and his, I don't know what to call her, fake mate, their eyes snapped towards us.

"Why?" was the only thing he asked. One word held so much pain.

"I'm glad you're here." Jayson said.

"I've contacted a witch and she will have everything sorted." he said. At the sound of that my wolf became excited.

'Mate wants us!' she said.

"What do you mean sorted?" Damien asked.

After a bit of hesitation he said "She will break our mate bonds.".

The hopeful feeling disappeared as fast as it arrived. My heart shattered. He didn't choose me.

Zara retreated back into my mind as I felt the hurt through our bond.

"What do you mean break the bond, that's my mate! Mine! The moon goddess paired us not you!" Damien shouted. I could tell his wolf was in control now.

"Selene made a mistake! I love Naomi and I am not leaving her!" Jayson said. The two men started intensely at each other both trying to assert their dominance. One had an advantage being an Alpha but the other still held his ground since he contained Alpha blood.

Naomi, as I now knew her name, kept her eyes on the floor and stayed silent the entire time. Jayson finally cracked under pressure and looked away. Damien finally looked towards Naomi.

"Naomi, are you really going to go through with this?" Damien asked her.

Keeping her gaze down she replied, "I love him, he's the father of my children and my true mate, she made a mistake .".

At her declaration Damien backed away, the familiar expression I've come to know as hurt displayed on his face. Without another word he turned and left the room.

On the other hand, arrogance showed on his brothers face as he smirked claiming victory.
Little did he know that this was only a battle and the war was not over yet.

The feeling of anger burned through me as I've had enough of being idle. As if my feet had a mind of its own, I walked over to him, raised my hand and slapped him Before he could process it, I walked out of the room.

After walking for a while, I found myself at the entrance of my room and I entered. My body dropped to the floor, and I hugged my knees.

How could the moon goddess give me such a horrible mate.

Why did he choose her over me? Was I not good enough? Pretty enough? Moon goddess why? The more I questioned the harder I cried.

I was awoken to knocking on the door. Still on the floor I got up and cracked my door open.

I peeked out and suddenly the door was pushed open. I stumbled back as Alani came in with a plate of food.

"I saw you didn't come for breakfast and dinner, so I thought I'd be a great friend and oh my goddess you look like shit." she said after finally taking in my appearance.

I just took the food and sat on the bed eating while informing her of the previous events.
