She was rejected by her mate, She lost everything, She was auctioned and sold, She was left broken in despair too seek comfort in the arms of her buyer and her new Alpha. Flora thought that her worst nightmare was becoming a mistress to her mate who rejected her so she decided to escape but she ran only to fall into the arms of a stranger who was meant to reck her existence. Alessandro turned to the devil she couldn't have imagine and it had her regretting ever running away. * "Why can't you just allow me be happy? haven't you created enough pains in my life?" I spoke holding my eyes in the eyes of the man who brought me nothing but pains. "I can't do that Cara Mia because I fucking own you and don't forget that I saved you and the child in your womb, Ora. Shouldn't you be at least greatful?" His eyes leaned on my huge stomach that subconsciously I reached to hold my stomach. "Funny enough that I married a woman who's carrying another man's child and this is how you plan on repaying me after my kindness?" Alessandro began walking towards me that I had instantly regretted running away. He didn't save me neither did he save my baby, he merely used me for his sadistic plans. I stood there surrounded in my own pool of blood, were nothing mattered at this point because I was finally going to end it all. But his eyes held no interest in my state, clearly he cared less about my life and he dared called himself my fucking husband.
FLORA
"I love you Lorenzo, I have loved you for the past one year now and nothing would make me happier for you to love me back." That was the last word I uttered before things turned wild that night.
*****
I gasped almost immediately, and it felt like my oxygen supply was being snatched away from me. My cerulean eyes raced around the place and subconsciously I gripped tightly on the sheets where my thoughts were already rolling in denier.
'What have you done, Flora?' My heart raced anxiously and the next thing which came to my head was to run befor- My thoughts stuck in my head when the door popped opened and my breath arched in accordance to my eyes which heaved upwards. I gulped.
My grip on the sheets grew tight.
His eyes roamed around my body that every breath I took sliced through my heart because his gazes were that of disgust. The atmosphere felt heavy that I had to force myself to voice out, trying to explain.
"Lorenzo...I didn't know what happened, I don-"
"I never did thought that you could even think that far Ora, what happened to being the good little girl you were? I never did expect such an undisciplined act from you. What do you think my father would do to your mother, knowing that she failed to control her daughter?" His eyebrow arched at me, that instantly I turned restless, feeling his eyes stilled with mine.
I failed my mother,
I failed myself,
I failed my heart in the process too,
How could I have made such a big mistake? My heart shattered into a million of pieces knowing that things weren't going to return to the way they were. I knew the gravity of his words that I hurled out shakily.
"Please don't tell the Alpha...." An underneath plea hooding in my voice which was that of dreadfulness but Lorenzo wasn't too keen in wanting to listen today.
I failed him too, I was supposed to be his sweet little Omega that he could use to satisfy his needs but I did something which I ought not to have done and him telling the Alpha would mean that my mother was going to pay for something I did because she 'failed to control her daughter'.
A cynical look ranged through his countenance that it was mixed with thrilling amusement. I knew that he was thinking of ways to make my already frustrated life more frustrating, but his next words were something I never did expect coming.
His tongue clicked into my hearing. "I won't tell anyone about it and we can make it our little secret instead, don't you think?" His steps began trading towards me that it highlighted my senses that I was still naked on his bed.
My breath arched once again, my eyes snapped shut, feeling his smooth hands caressing my shoulders, and I shuddered.
"We can make it something between us, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to punish you, Ora dearest. You shouldn't ever fail to understand the relationship we share and it was something you failed to remember. I'm your Alpha and you're just a lowly omega. A daughter of the woman who pleases my father's bed, that's the identity you hold and you shouldn't ever forget that." Lorenzo's hands stilled on my body, his caresses turned slowly on the part of my shoulder which had a scar on it.
His words only brought out the constant reminder that my actions were nothing but foolishness. What was I even thinking.... Confessing my love to him? I shouldn't have done it.
"Are you going to hurt me?" I heard my own doubt in my voice.
"I don't like it that you think of me as a monster, Ora, or am I one?" He questioned that it forced my eyes to snap open again and desperately I shook my head to have my dry voice echoing.
"No, you're not." He gave me a satisfied smile to continue.
"For now, I will keep your punishment pending. Think of it as my early birthday gift to you." He leaned over and roughly he kissed my head. He brought his body back and then his demeanor took a change. "Let's get something straight Ora, There can never be a us and even if you turn out to be my mate, know that I'm going to reject you in a heartbeat. Now I'm heading out, so get the fuck out of here and don't give anyone a reason to think that I did something to you." His smile came out relentlessly.
Involuntarily, my throat bubbled at his words that my eyes were trapped withing his.
Lorenzo moved away from me and was about walking away when I echoed. "Did you not once ever feel anything towards me? Was there never a point you thought of me as someon-"
"Thought of you as what, Flora?" his voice raised when he used my full name, which was something he did only when he was incredibly angry. "I see that you have truly forgotten your place. I do think of you as something but not a someone. What gave you away into thinking that there could ever be something between us?"
I held onto a gripping silence. My eyes turned moist and the pains I could vividly feel and it fucking hurt to know that I never actually meant anything to him.
"You mean nothing to me, Flora Hudson." He finished and finally walked away. He slammed the door shut, that my body jerked.
His words echoed through my hearing that the pain which tugged my heart became unbearable. It didn't occur to me when tears began gliding through my face. I wanted to yell out but couldn't.
How could you be foolish to think that he would love you, Flora? You are just the daughter of the woman who his father fucked. You mean absolutely nothing to him.
I kept echoing the words in my head, but it made my heart gush with numbness. Putting on my clothes, I quietly made my way out of his room back into mine while hoping that I wasn't caught lurking around his room.
I collapsed on my bed and my tears seemly didn't want to stop no matter how hard I tried. My sobbing came out loud, wishing that the pains would stop.
I cried myself to sleep, not wanting anyone to see me in such a state. A knock was placed on my door, which had woken me up.
"Flora, are you alright? You look pale." Came the voice of Valerie and seeing her made my mood instantly worst, but I had to mask up my emotions.
I lengthened, a deceiving smile on my face, and weakly I voiced. "I'm fine Valerie. I'm just a bit tired."
She shook her head, already sensing that I wasn't in the mood to explain why I appeared so terrible.
"Well, once you hear who happened to me, you're going to be limping with joy, girl." She pulled her hand before my eyes and I instantly noticed the ring which circled around her finger and she shouted. "Lorenzo finally proposed to me!!! We are going to get married soon!!!" Her hands came wrapping around my body were I remained mute.
My brain tried to process what she said, but I still couldn't comprehend it. Lorenzo proposed to her?
Valerie pulled away from me with happiness hooding heavily on her expression. Her eyes glowed brightly. "Aren't you happy for me you Flora? I thought you were going to be happy?"
Her statement was able to break the trance which caged around me that I had rearranged my expression and thoughts properly. Skillfully, I concealed the heaviness which I felt.
"Why won't I be happy? It's just that I never did expect that he was going to propose because of your arguments lately." I felt somehow guilty, knowing that I was the reason behind her relationship with Lorenzo almost crashing.
She was Lorenzo's girlfriend. They had been dating for a year, which was the exact time I and Lorenzo began having something together.
I envied her greatly.
"You aren't the only one Flora, I never did expect his proposal as it was sudden. I'm finally going to be his wife, the future Luna of this pack."
Her words were something which I had dreamt of, but sadly, it was shattered this morning.
"I'm so happy Valarie." Only if she knew the amount of lies I was telling at her face.
She welcomed herself into my room, where I couldn't bother to mind. I closed the door to hear her continue, as the happy news wasn't over.
"Tomorrow, both our families are going to meet, and then they are going to plan the wedding. We are having dinner tomorrow night here with the Alpha. I'm super excited."
"But Tomorrow night is my age coming ceremony. You can't have dinner here tomorrow night." I thoughtlessly spoke, and I wished I didn't because I was soon greeted with her sour expression.
"Can't you at least let me have this one happiness, Flora, but you choose to ruin it with your words, so what if tomorrow is your age coming ceremony? Which do you think the Alpha is going to prioritize? Meeting his future in-laws or your birthday?"
I chewed on my cheeks where I already knew the answer myself. The smile around her face lengthened once more.
"It's good that you know the answer. I'm really sorry about your birthday thing, but I don't think it's going to happen tomorrow." She gave a pitiful expression. I knew it wasn't one bit genuine. "Since tomorrow is my big day, I want you to be present. Can you do that for me?"
"You know that isn't possible, Valerie. I and my mother are forbidden from attending any gatherings involving the Alpha's family. Maybe my mother would attend, but I can't." I tried having her remember the position I held in the pack.
Valerie moved to grab both my hands, holding them in hers, and her voice turned extremely soft. "You're my best friend Flora and you know Lorenzo and the Alpha well. Since you live here, I don't want to make any mistakes tomorrow, which is why I want you to be there, to point out a few things."
Why can't she just understand that even if I wanted to go, I couldn't?
I breathe out, rolling my eyes. She was requesting for the impossible.
"Fine. What if I talk to Lorenzo? Maybe he can talk to the Alpha on your behalf." She suggested, and I didn't like the name of Lorenzo being dragged into this.
Valerie didn't give me the opportunity to decide before putting an end to the conversation.
*
Walking down to the main pack mansion where I was only allowed to step in only because my mother lived there, I called the attention of a passing maid.
"Do you know where I can find my mother?" I questioned one of the servants and with all arrogance, she replied.
"I didn't know a weak omega had the privilege of speaking out. I don't know where your mother is, probably warming the Alpha's bed." She hissed and walked away.
I couldn't be even offended because it won't get me anywhere. It was my fault for even asking in the first place.
Finally, I found her outside. With a smile on my lips, I walked towards her, but the expression and words I received from her were nothing but bitterness.
"Have you fucking lost it, Flora? I thought I taught you better than this? How could you have such a relationship with Lorenzo? Are you trying to have both of us killed?"
I frowned. How did she know that? It was a secret between Lorenzo and I, something which no one was meant to know.
