The Alpha King's Hated Omega

18

Demi's pov

What do you even see in her?

Those words were imprinted on my mind, echoing in my head and I could feel the irritation in his voice scraping at my hearing with each step I took toward the outhouse.

I had a lot of questions running through my mind questioning my birth, my existence and the unfortunate circumstances surrounding my life.

Fate was cruel to me in all ways, throwing my life around like a dice on a jagged end with each tumble revealing a deep slash.

I was the weak wolf, the rejected one, the ugly one, the wolf who never shifted.

The one who never had friends to play with, who got betrayed and was never good enough to invite anywhere.

I was the stinky wolf, the amputee, and yet again rejected after finding out that I was mates with the Alpha king, and now that someone dared show compassion my way, he ruined it all.

I had overcome my fears of men a bit fearing what Logan did to me might happen again, I forced myself to quell my thoughts and went on a date only for a mate who didn't want me to sabotage it.

I wanted to scream, to throw my hand around and the other if it was good.

I wanted to go for a run and let out my feelings but I couldn't shift. I wanted to vanish into nothingness and forget all that was bothering me.

I am sorry, Harlyn apologized amidst all these thoughts running through my head. Her words stopped me in my tracks, I am sorry for doubting you on his character. I thought he had changed, I thought he was displaying jealousy and maybe that meant he wanted us.

I said nothing to her not knowing what to say as my head was clouded with sadness and fragmented thoughts.

I moved further and stopped before a tree, I placed my palm against it, leaning into it and placing my head on the bark.

I licked my dry lips and shivered in anguish letting the tears roll down my cheeks. I just wanted a nice date and some nice food.

I wanted to feel wanted and have someone smile at me with warmth while telling me that he thought I was beautiful despite me not believe his words but at least it felt good to hear.

What do you even see in her?

His words came again dampening any former confidence that I had ever mustered and I closed my eyes giving into the tears that fell and the grief engulfing my heart.

I stayed there for a while, leaning against the tree and crying my heart out, hoping that when I got back to the house, I would be alone with Haris asleep so I could reflect on my newfound misery.

After a few more tears and wiping my sleeve over my face, I finally got my strength back and straightened my back.

I walked back to the house, and even with the slow agonizing steps I took, I was surprised that I reached it earlier than I had expected.

I let myself in, darkness greeting me the moment I stepped into the sitting room giving me a sign that Haris was asleep already and I was alone.

I let out a sigh of relief blowing air through my lips and rubbing my palm over my face.

I got closer to the wall and placed my hand on it feeling around for the switch so I could illuminate the place and navigate my way around easily, I was also hoping to get food or something to snack on.

"Let me help you get that."

I jumped at the voice, the lights flicked on instantly revealing who was before me and I staggered taking steps back at the sight.

"What are you doing here?!" There was urgency in my voice as I looked around with panic growing in my chest, "Gosh!"

Eros stood before me, hands crossed on his chest assuming a predatory stance that I had seen before from Logan which made me want to cower but I stood still holding his mean gaze, expecting an answer to my question.

"Your date went well I suppose?" There was a devious smirk on his lips, and the mean glint in his eyes increased seeing the frown on my face.

I frowned deeper, clutching my fingers so hard that I was sure my knuckles whitened with the force. A force I wanted to exert by punching his perfect face and wiping off that arrogant expression.

"You reek of him, disgusting!" His nostrils flared picking up on the fact that I still somewhat smelled of Dmitri as I had spent time with him.

"Leave." I pronounced before turning to walk past him but then I felt fingers on my arm, gripping my flesh and turning me back to face him and I so hated how the sparks lighted up where he touched me, "Let go of me." I muttered despite the pleasurable sparks.

"You will not go on another date with him!"

"No!" I snapped raising my voice and making my defiance known even when I knew what would come from challenging a powerful man like him, "No! No!"

"Too bad, it wasn't a request. It was an order!"

"You don't get to order me around." I looked up and met his stare sharpening my gaze with the hate I fell for him at the moment, "You clearly said we can't be mates! You said I should be with someone else!"

"Not him! Find someone else! Someone like you or no one at all!"

Someone like me?! Or no one at all?!

His words were like daggers dragging across my heart making it bleed.

"You go around with that other shewolf."

"Her name is Anya!"

"Oh." It was weak, a weak response as he corrected me on how to address her and I wrung my arm free of his hold, "My apologies Your Majesty."

"Look-" He started.

"You permitted me to be with who I wanted and that is exactly what I am doing." I cut him off before he threw out a lame excuse.

"Are you jealous?" He scoffed, "Are you doing this because of Anya, if s-"

"I like him." I muttered genuinely.

"What?!" He gripped my arm, fingers embedding softly in my skin as he pulled me against him, our bodies colliding like magnets with sparks stimulating against our skin where we touched.

His eyes sparked with fury, his voice low and menacing,  "I dare you, to repeat what you just said!"

"I like him." I spat, my voice trembled in fear but I sounded more confident.

"Look here mutt!" He growled sending unnerving feels through my being, "I found you, I treated you, fed you and clothed you. I put a roof under your head, gave you warmth, offered you my protection and gave my everything."

"You don't want me, Eros!" I retorted raising my voice to match his tone, "You just want to control and own me! I am not a puppet Eros!"

"It's your majesty to you!" He corrected, "I have been very nice since you set foot on my lands! You shall stay away from him and play the role of a good mate and stay hidden. You appear when I demand you to, you go nowhere without my knowledge and you do not dare have feelings for another man, Bury those dumb feelings and trash them! I forbid you from going out with anyone else."

"No!"

"Defy me and see what happens!" He shoved me gently, letting go of me before releasing a huge sneeze that sounded really terrible and harsh.

I looked at him and something strange drew my attention. His face was reddening and it didn't seem like it was from anger and red spots had appeared on his neck.

"What's happening to you?" I reached out my hand and stroked his face as per my instinctss but he reacted immediately, pushing my hand away.

"Don't touch me." He turned shielding his face, "It doesn't concern you."

"Okay." My hand fell back to my side, "You should leave."

"I mean my words."

Those were the last words he uttered before walking out the door and slamming it so hard that it startled me and I was left standing there barely holding on to the broken fragments of my heart.
