CURSED INTO THE OMEGAVERSE WITH MY ENEMY AS MY ALPHA

Rena:

“What’s wrong?” I freeze, looking right into his hesitant face, feeling confused and shocked all at once.

“You don’t want me?” My question catches him off guard, and his eyes look away from me. He smirks, shaking his head as if I’m talking nonsense.

The first man I ever invited inside my apartment, and the first to reject me.

“Who wouldn’t want all of this?” His deep voice makes my knees wobble, and I can finally feel relief wash over me. Even though it’s so dark inside my room, it's easy to see his smirk grow wider.

“Then what is it?” I cover up some of my bare skin, feeling the embarrassment due to his cruel rejection hitting me hard in the face. I jump off my bed. My movements don't ease the tension, because his face tightens as he follows me across the room.

I step outside the balcony, watching a few cars passing down the street. The fresh air fills my lungs as Derek gently squeezes my hand. But I refuse to look at his face, not wanting him to see how hurt and disappointed I am.

As he keeps on staring at me, and waiting for me to look at him, I just keep ignoring his looks.

I expect him to leave my room by now, and vanish from my life for good, as if he never existed. However he’s just stubborn to do so, because to my surprise I can feel his hand grabbing my waist gently, swiftly turning me around, and pulling me closer to him.

Our eyes meet for seconds, and this doesn’t make it any easier. Staying up close to him makes me even more fascinated by his charming strong features.

“I don’t know…are we even exclusive? We’ve been dating for like two months!” I finally let go of the words that have been stuck in my throat for the last few weeks.

“I want to prove to you I’m different, it’s not just sex I care about!” His words make me regret being honest with him already, and even regret showing him how easy I am! However they also make me wonder, does he really want more than… just sex?

I step inside my room, heading to my closet, pulling a new t-shirt and shorts. I can feel his eyes still focus on every movement I’m making. “Renn, I feel like you’re the one” his words sink deep in my heart, making me freeze for seconds. My breath suddenly stops as I glare in shock at his honest face.

But my dignity ruins the perfect moment anyway, and I look away, immediately. As I continue to put on my clothes, like he said nothing.

“I know it’s crazy, but I do feel this strong feeling for you, it drives me crazy and makes me want to do things…things you can never imagine” he starts, his hand reaching to cup my cheek, and his gaze holding mine.

“But it also makes me want to slow down.” His deep honest words make me want to hug him, and that’s why I pull him into a tight hug, his warm skin giving me shivers. Is this normal? Or is it because he’s so hot that his skin is almost sending flames all over my body?

“What? surprised that a tattooed bad boy knows how to sweet talk?” His question makes me roll my eyes, and I try to hide my smile.

“I just want to figure out… this?” I say seriously, pointing to the small distance between us. He doesn’t give an answer, and only frowns.

Something is telling me that he’s not sure about our relationship, or maybe he’s just too scared to admit it. But I forget how unpredictable this guy is, because his next sentence makes me even more shocked.

“I want you to meet my parents” he says, and his serious face makes me gape from shock. His hand touches the necklace I’m wearing, but his eyes aren’t fixed on mine, they’re fixed on my necklace, the one grandma gave me.

“Your…parents?” I gulp, “isn’t this too soon?” I add, playing nervously with my fingers. “why? you don’t want me?" His soft voice makes me giggle as he tries to mimic me from earlier.

“I’ll think about it” I say, and turn my back on him, walking towards my bathroom, however I stop when I feel a sudden and unexplainable pain in my chest, as if someone was digging down my chest trying to cut out my heart.

But I continue to walk as if nothing happened, but deep down I know that feeling, I just choose to ignore it anyway.

*****************

I’m running inside the dark wood, someone, or something is chasing after me. I stop running, my heavy breath makes me suffocate.

I don’t know for how long I’ve been running, I don’t even know why I’m in here, alone. My eyes scan my surroundings, tall trees standing on every side, and just then I know I’m lost.
