An Omega

Erick Shaw's POV

Just kill me now. Goodbye everyone...

I was fidgeting in my seat. I cower under the gaze of fuming Cara- my mate. Tail between my legs, head hang low and my heart was pounding in my ears.

I felt like a criminal caught red handed for stealing- like a child caught for pushing other kids at the playground. Even my parents, the Alpha, the Beta and third in command kept quiet as they watch the drama unfolds.

This scene is so embarassing- it hurts my man pride so bad.

She's been tapping on her right foot at a regular pace, just standing in front of me with her arms crossed on her chest. Any moment now the ticking bom will explode when it reaches her limit. By now I was squirming. Quietly my eyes were begging help from my parents but they just shrugged not knowing what to do. There's no way I'm getting out of this.

"Where the fuck were you?" her voice was slow, dangerous and threatening.

I gulped.

"I-I uh was with my friends yesterday; whole day and night. We were celebrating my birthday. They wanted to cheer me up"

"You didn't think in your thick skull that you should have told someone? Anyone at that fact to tell that you were gonna be gone? Did you know that I sent three dozens warriors to track you? Going missing right after you were kidnapped isn't the way" she growled.

I lowered my gaze. "I wanted to but I didn't bring my phone. We were also too far to mind-link anyone. I really thought after the movie and karaoke session at the twin's house that I would just shift and go home later but we ended up drinking beer and fell asleep. I'm sorry" I peeked at her.

"Going back late at night in the woods alone? Outside of our territory? Do you want to be kidnapped? Think before you take actions Erick. You're not a baby anymore! I'm actually glad you spent your night there than was kidnapped by rogues" she growled.

"Didn't um think of that". Sigh.

She was taking deep breaths closing her eyes before opening them back again angrier and deadlier.

"You smell of females all over you" she clenched her teeth.

"Yes, I was with Kayla, Kaycee and Ella. My good friends at the school. The only ones who would actually bothers about me. They're human so they're just comfortable with me. I assure you nothing happened" I swore to her.

She turned back around and I slumped a little. Her Alpha presence when she is high on emotion is really hard.

"I am still your mate. Please watch your limits. Do you not know that my wolf gets restless? Why were you so stupid Erick?" her Alpha tone is starting to slip. I stood up trying to console her before she gets angrier but bad move.

She spuns around, eyes getting darker and her Alpha presence was forced on me. "You know nothing do you?!" she shouted with everything she had.

I fell on my knees head hanging low as my Omega side couldn't hold her Alpha's presence.

I heard gasps all over the room.

"Cara that's enough" another Alpha but is more assertive and calm. Cara snapped out of it. Her eyes widened in shock. I could barely look at her.

"I think he understands now" Alpha Campbell said.

My wolf feels dejected. It was a slap to the reality of who I was. An Omega. Having your mate to have used her Alpha tone and presence to make you submit to them was horrible.

My breathing was hard and fast.

"Eri-"

Before she could say anything I practically half crawled before shooting to the doors running towards my house.

I took a cold shower for an hour maybe just standing there.

Why was it so hard for Cara and me to be together? We are mates. Destined to be together. The Goddess herself paired us up.

I get a feeling that my love life was going to be so different. Like I'm the girl.

Shuddering at the thought I laughed a little. Being too emotional all the time and gossiping isn't for me.

"Please eat more" my mom pleaded.

She made pasta and grilled chicken with puddings as desserts. I ate but couldn't eat much. I was still in shock.

"You look thinner now. It's not healthy" she said.

"You know, when Cara had gone all Alpha on you, your mother and I almost fell too but the Beta managed to hold us in place" my dad said almost thinking to himself.

"Sweetheart, I'm sure Cara is upset too. Her wolf took over. She was more sadder than you are just now"

I just smiled not wanting to continue the conversation and ate more so my mother would focus on me eating.

It's been a week and I hadn't came out from my room. Feeling weak and tired. Not to mention rejected.

My wolf side was really taking this to heart. I was feeling worst by the day.

The girls contacted me but I told them I was sick again. I refused to let them come to see me in such a state. I guess my wolf needs his mate more than ever now.

I was doing my homework- and it was only because I was too bored. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Knock, knock.

"Come in"

"Erick" Tyler the Beta and Jack greeted.

I stood up so fast I almost fell flat on my face.

"H-Hello"

They studied me up and down. Frown etched on their faces not approving of what they see. Within a second I was grabbed by the Beta and was dragged out of my room.

I was tongue tied.

He pulled me until I was outside the house and was heading to the pack house.

What did I do wrong now?
