A Warrior and his Omega

Chapter Eight

Atticus POV

"Just give up on him, of ever being happy because you will never be. I'll always be here, I'll always remind you of the disgrace you are. There might be only one happy moment in your life, that's when you're bleeding out of the floor, or drifting away in your sleep. Yet you'll be sad after that because the moongoddess won't let you in her perfect kingdom. You'll wander the streets as a ghost, alone and slowly fading away. " The hissed softly.

"J-Just leave alone! G-Go a-aw-away!" I sobbed slowly sinking to the floor.

I gripped my hair with my fists, sinking my nails into my head as I did so. Why can't I just be left alone?! Why can't I be free of this pain?!

"Leave al-alone. Just w-want a-alone." I hiccuped pulling my knees to my chest.

I just wish there was a way to turn off the pain, to turn off everything. I want to run, to be free but I wouldn't make it halfway across the yard before collapsing or for someone notice me missing. If i could shift but i couldn't, I heard everything the doctor said that night, because of someone else's doing I'll never be able to shift again.

"A shiftless wolf, you can't even defend yourself. Just another reason he'll never love you." The voice spat in disgust.

Sylis POV

I walked into the room, a beer in my hand. I glanced towards the bed and saw it was empty,my eyebrows furrowed in confusion seeing Atticus wasn't in it. My eyes scanned the room landing on a curled figure behind the chair.

"Atticus?" I asked stalking over to the form on the floor.

Once he was in clear view I could see he was gripping his hair, his body shaking violently as small whimpers left his mouth. His head snapped up to me, blood running down the sides of his face.

"Atticus what the fuck did you do?!" I yelled picking him up from the floor and carrying him to the bathroom.

I sat him on the counter grabbed a rag. Setting it under water I cleaned his face, no emotions in his eyes what so ever. Anger bubbled inside me as I looked in his empty voids.

"Atticus why did you do this?" I snapped.

"Why fuck you care?" He whimpered, shocking me at his words.

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion and anger as I looked at him.

"What the fuck is you're problem?!" I yelled making him wince.

Tears built in his eyes and he locked away wiping his eyes. Growling in annoyance I continued to clean his face.

"Did you do this to yourself?" I asked cleaning his hair.

He nodded with a small whimper, not meeting my eyes.

"Why?" I growled.

"Tired of voice. He says truth but I not like it." He whimpered wiping his eyes again.

"What does he say?" I asked.

"Says truth about Atticus and Sylis. That I never be happy, I rot while you live happy with pretty woman. Have one give children, live happy after. Say Atticus only be happy when bleed out and dye but be said again because moongoddess not let in kingdom. That be stuck wander street alone." He whimpered biting his quivering lip.

I stayed quiet not thinking of a response.

"W-why?" He asked, looking up at me and connecting our eyes.

"Wh-why can't b-be mates? Not m-make sense! Att-atticus try so hard understand but not can!Say love Sylis but push away. Not take pain anymore! People only feel sorry not love. They not care! You not care! Not understand why keep making live! Be better if Atticus dead everyone be happy! No need feel bad for Atticus because can't walk down hall only feel out of breath! For when hear Atticus cry, for when Atticus hurts self." He yelled weakly punching my chest.

His body shook with sobs and he clutched his hair once again

"Atticus always told mate never want, never good enough for mate. All is just Fuck up! Atticus knew all this! Atticus hope die before day came find mate, hope if did live m-mate would l-love me. Y-you n-not l-love wo-worthless. You no-not lo-love stupid.Y-you not lo-love Atticus!" He sobbed struggling on his words.

"I can't love you." I sighed angrily.

"Atticus know! Atticus f-fucking know!" He screamed pushing against me making me stumble back in surprise.

He jumped off the counter and darted out if the room.
