Omega

Choices (5)

Penelope P.O.V.

"He's your mate?"

"Exactly!"

"Thats great! Your so lucky! He is so hot!"

"Haley listen-"

"-Such a hunk! Oh your kids will be adorable!"

"Haley!!!!!"

"What?"

"I have to reject him."

I cant be with an Omega. I meant to mate to an alpha or a beta or a high ranking warrior. Its not that I dont love him. I havent said barely anything to him and I already dont want to leave his side! I just want to save myself from getting ripped away from him by my father or another alpha. Haley's dad, my dad's beta, isn't married to his mate. She was a rogue who died a year after meeting him. He is happily married and has two kids; One of them being Haley. Other alphas who have lost their mate might try and take me away and an Omega wont stand a chance protecting me and might get killed. I have to reject him for both our protection.

"Wait. What? Why?" Haley looks as confused and heartbroken as me.

"Because Haley, its too dangerous. For both of us. Me and him wont work."

"But-"

"Haley please! I know what Im doing!"

"No you dont! You were made for eachother! Its destiny! Dont throw that away Penelope! He is your only chance at happily ever after! And for heavens sake dont be so selfish. This isnt just your life your ruining, its his too!"

Where did that come from? What happened to my fiery tempered best friend? She is suddenly so wise about love that she has never experienced?

"Penelope? Whens the last time you did something YOU wanted to do? You need at ask yourself what would make YOU happy."

I freeze. She completely and utterly has a very good point. This party tonight? Not my idea, not what I wanted. Going to football games every Friday. Not my idea, not what I wanted. When I had to go with Haley's brother to his prom? Not my idea, not what I wanted. You get the point. Everything I do is because my parents or my siblings or my friends or social standards tell me I should do it! Why do I even listen and why is Haley the one who realize it and not me? I have had choices in everything I have ever done to say "no" and yet instead I let other people dictate me. This is my choice. So what do I chose?

"Lets play a game. Its called choices." Haley announces.

She pulls out my notebook and begins to write. I help her add pros and cons along the way until we have a final product:

Behind choice A:
-Mate
-Possiblity of being taken away
-Possiblity of him being killed
-Dad: nope
-Mom: idk
-siblings: idk

Behind choice B:
-Reject mate
-Pain of rejection
-safety of marrying some alpha guy
-Dad: pleased
-Mom: idk
-Siblings: idk

Behind choice C:
-Make no choice
-run away
-no mate
-no rejection
-no random guys
-no death
-sad everyone

This game is fun.

"Make a choice." She demands.

"What? I cant just make this big of a choice! This takes time to think over and process-"

"Well we just did the processing. Her are your pros and cons and now you have to decide which cons are less and which pros are more."

"Ok so, which ones dont involve death?"

"None" She states. I look over the paper again.

"I only see one on here with death as a side effect."

"Thats not true completely. Many wolfs have died after losing a mate. Also your happiness dies even if you body doesnt so. Two out of three are certain death and one is possiblity."

"You just turned that around on me too fast Haley. Did you know ahead of time I was gonna run away from my mate?"

"No, but after knowing you for years I knew you would run from something big. I am trying out a new tactic on getting you to work out your problems instead of running."

"Im a lab rat for myself?"

"Precisely."

"oh joy."

"So Make a choice cause I cant choose for you."

"Ok..."

We are silent for almost five minutes.

"Penelope?"

"Huh?"

"Are you gonna chose?"

"No?"

"Ugh! Penelope!"

"Fine."

Then I chose. I make the biggest choice of my life. I point at my choice on the paper. This is either going to be amazing like heaven....or hurt like hell.

So I am pretty sure you know what her choice was. Penelope, despite being rich and having a loving family, is very controlled. It isnt super evident but its there. She makes her choices for other people and never for herself. Haley helped her realize this during this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading and please leave a comment on how you feel so far about the characters (please dont be mean but its ok if you dont like a character) Thank you!❤️
