Chapter 2

“What’s worse than being an omega?’’ The question echoed in my mind as I ran. The cool breeze did not feel relaxing against my skin anymore. The tears that stained my eyes dried off, clotting on my face and leaving an indentation of how much I had lost. 

I stopped in my tracks, staring back at the distant white line that marked our pack boundary. Now, it would be but a distant memory in my mind. A place of horror and pain. 

Banished with nothing. 

Rejected for being a nothing. 

My parents died for nothing. 

All my life, I have seeked the approval of pack members that have barely seen me. I have been hated, spat on, misunderstood, tortured, overwhelmed with chores and always a people pleaser. Am I worth anything more? 

 I pick up the pace and I start running again. This time not looking back. Trying to forget where I had come from and what had happened. But the words of Alpha Gale are still repeating in my head. My life was over. there was nothing left for me anymore. 

I approach a little tarven in the outskirts of the dirty road.  It didn't look like a fine establishment but it definitely looks like a paradise I would want to forget about everything in. I didn't have anything on me. No money. Yet I still went in. And I don't know what I was thinking but something drew me there. 

There was a Commotion when I entered. At the far side of the tarven dark corner was a man held against the wall being beaten up.  Two gigantic looking men held a blonde man against the wall while another man who seemed like the leader pummelling punches into his stomach. No one in the tarven dared speak against it, I could tell from the aura radiating from the man that he was a werewolf, one with authority. 

Suddenly the man turns around and looks at me. It was as if breath caught in my lungs. His eyes, holding a darker gaze but mesmerising, bore into mine as he enclosed me into his own world. It suddenly felt as if he was the only one in the room. Tall, roughly six foot seven with an articulately kept beard and his sexy lips which he licked when he saw me. I was so mesmerised by him that I didn't even notice him moving towards me. 

I felt connected to him but perhaps it was just my broken heart trying to desperately heal itself. When he stood in front of me,  I felt Goosebumps rise on my skin as he stretched his hand and brought it over my face. He pushed a Strand of my hair at the back of my ear and then kissed my forehead. It felt intimate. protective. I wanted to push him off yet my body yearns for him in a way I've never felt before. not even for Alpha Gale before he rejected me.

“Who are you?’’  I let out,  unsure of what was left to say. He stared into my eyes and I felt as if he was speaking to my soul.

“ You don't know who I am?’’  he asked somewhat surprised. I shook my head no still maiming my eyes at his.. it suddenly became obvious to me that if I wanted to forget about my rejection then this right here was what I had to do.

“ Can We Talk somewhere private?’’  he nodded his head before  signalling for two of his Men to go upstairs. I wondered who he was but the truth is it wasn't my top priority right now. I needed to forget what had happened. and this right here seems like a perfect way to do it.

“ Let's go upstairs.’’  he let out with a sexy voice that commanded me. I felt my body Moving with him up the stairs. He kept his hands on my lower back urging me forward yet so gentle with me as if I was fragile. I felt tiny in his presence. Compared to him I was but I pet. a mouse.  I was about 5 ft 1,  and I couldn't tell how tall I was if I wore heels because I've never owned one anyway.  It was obvious that he was rich. but if that's all there is just another random man who would easily discard me once he realised I was an Omega. are banished omegas.

 What's worse than being an Omega?  Being a rogue. 

“You seriously don't know who I am?’’  He asked as he led me towards our hallway and then into the last room across it. and he opened it. It really wasn't what I expected. It was well kept tidy and almost large areas. something that could not be guests from how the outside of the tavern looked. I stepped into the room feeling as if I was digging myself a bigger grave. Here I was with a complete stranger. What if he wanted to hurt me? He couldn't be different from all the others right?  Well, my burning desire for him to claim me was much stronger than my need to be vigilant.

“Do I have to?’’

“Not at all. I was just a little shocked because everyone knows exactly who I am.’’ 

 I wanted to ask the question. I could feel it throbbing at the tip of my tongue. But once I knew who he was then I would be doomed. All I needed to know is that he was a rich werewolf who had some authority. That was enough for me.

“You are so beautiful.’’  He let out. and as usual I didn't believe it.

“ I've never done this before. but I want you to be gentle with me at first and then f*ck some sense into me.’’  I almost felt ashamed of my words.  He stared at me with wide eyes. he studied me,  taking my hand in his as he felt my fingers against his own.

“You're so tiny.”  he whispers as he steps forward. “ All I want to do is claim you. Make you mine. Feel your skin glazing against my own. I want to show you what it truly means to be given pleasure.’’

“ I’m a virgin.” I let out. He smiles, kissing my forehead again, making me shudder.

“I know, princess, I know.’’ His hands rested on my lower back, pulling me closer. 

“How do you…”

“I can smell it on you.’’ He says with a chuckle. Suddenly I'm feeling self-conscious. I'm scared and nervous. But  what if I screw this up ? What if I regret it later? He is just a stranger I barely know. Yet why am I so drawn to him? Why do I feel such an immense connection to him?  If I didn't know better I would say he is my mate. but I've already met my mate and he turned out to be a cruel and ruthless alpha. Now the man in front of me is but a means to help me forget the sorrows of my life before I figure out what I'm going to do with myself.

“ Are you sure you want to do this right now?  there is time,  we don't have to rush…’’

 I smashed my lips on his, silencing him as my arms swayed around his shoulders. He pulled me up, making my legs go around his torso as he kissed me back. Oh, and what an amazing kisser he was. It left me shuddering, gasping for breath yet hungry for more. 

“Easy princess.’’ He breathed against my lips. “I’m not going anywhere.’’ 

He walked with me towards the bed where he set me down. And right there, he proceeded to truly give me the pleasure he had earlier mentioned. His fingers burned on my skin, he touched me with such delicacy, yet a freezing touch that made me yearn for more. The truth is that it felt like something more. The way he kissed me, leaving the taste of himself in my mouth and the tingling sensation in my lips, how his tongue was so incredible that I felt dizzy. 

The moans and grunts that escaped both our mouths were endless. Shaking, his hot breath against my neck as he claimed me. 

His fingers in my mouth, my hair messy and undone, his hands easily cupping and holding me so firmly. Taking care of me, making me feel like I was the only one in his world. 

It was epic. Unlike anything I've ever imagined.
