Unwanted : A Tale of Omega Warrior

Chapter 4

Isabella’s POV

'Mate'

The moment I heard my wolf whisper the word, my body stilled completely. I couldn’t look away from the man who is my mate.

The aura around him screams power and authority. He is a high rank wolf, I sensed it. Maybe Beta or someone from the Royal family.

I have never seen him before.

He is wearing a blue shirt and black pants. He has a strong masculine body. The sleeves of his shirt are rolled up to his elbows. His dark brown hairs look soft. He has a sharp jaw, pointed nose, beautiful lips and eyes, they are ocean blue.

But right now they are glaring at me.

I was lost in a trance which was broken by prince Emmett's voice,

“We are just having some fun brother, ignore us and carry on with where you were going”.

I looked away from my mate and stared at Emmett with wide eyes.

How can he lie like this.

“Prince Emmett, I…” I began speaking but he placed a finger on my lips silencing me, “Shhh…. Bella, speaking when two Superiors are talking is a sign of disrespect” he said leaning closer to my face.

He is right. But there is no way I won’t speak when he just lied right in front of my mate. What he must be thinking about me, pinned against the wall by another man.

I am sure it would have hurt me if I saw my mate with another woman like this.

I placed my palms on Emmett’s chest and tried to push him while opening my mouth but before I could utter even a single word, a growl was heard.

My head whipped in my mate’s direction. I can see anger dancing in his orbs.

“Emmet, Mom is calling you” he gritted through his teeth. “Now” he added.

Emmet groaned and moved back completely.

“I will see you later beautiful” prince Emmett said before walking away.

My mind became numb the moment my mate called Emmett by his first name without any title and said the term mom.

'are they brothers?’ a thought occurred in my mind.

But aren’t his both brothers have mates. Then….

My mind is clouded with many thoughts. And in my thoughts I didn’t realize when my mate came towards me and stood two steps away, in front of me.

“I can’t believe this” he muttered angrily under his breath, breaking my chain of thoughts.

I fiddled with my fingers nervously as I tried explaining, “i… we… it is not like what you are thinking. I and prince Emmett….. “ my sentence was cut off with his deep cold voice,

“I don’t care what you were doing with my brother” he said, confirming my doubt that they are brothers. Maybe they are cousins.

His words and harsh tone caused a pang of pain to my heart.

He closed his eyes for a moment, inhaled deeply before opening them. They were filled with disgust and anger.

And in that moment I knew what he is going to do.

His gaze was similar to that of Alpha Zain, my first mate.

My hands curled into fists by my side. This time I wasn’t going to request him to not reject me. I braced myself for the pain when suddenly something clicked in my mind.

It has only been ten months since I came to this pack, which means it has been ten months since my first rejection.

It is a known fact that if a werewolf gets rejected twice within a one year of time, he will die because of the pain of rejection. I heard that it is the most painful and worst death a werewolf can go through.

I got startled when I felt someone shaking me by my shoulder.

I looked up to find my mate staring at me with dark eyes.

“I asked you something” he said. His jaw is clenched tightly and hands are balled in fists.

I didn’t hear him ask me anything.

“So.. sorry, what did you ask?” I asked him.

“Your name, what is it?” he asked.

I sucked in a deep breath before asking, “are you going to reject me?”

His eyes softened at my question.

“Yes, I am. So tell me your name so that I can end this mate bond” he stated. I bit on my lower lips and did my best to hide the pain I felt because of his words.

“Two months” I whispered. A frown appeared on his face at my words.

“Please give me two months. After that you can reject me” I said firmly. I don’t want to die, at least not because my mate doesn’t want me.

After two months, I will end this bond with him. I was able to survive once, I am sure I can survive again.

His eyes hardened at my words.

“Don’t f**k with me and tell me your damn name, right now” he almost growled the words. His voice held so much authority which almost made me submit.

I stood my ground. There is no way he can reject me unless he knows my name. I just have to hide from him for two months.

I will stop coming to pack house.

The pack is too big, I am sure we won’t cross path again.

“If you think that you will be able to change my decision after two months, then you are wrong. Because I won’t. There is no way I will accept a f**king weak omega as my mate who was just w*****g around with my brother” his words stabbed me ruthlessly on my heart.

Despite trying hard, a traitorous tear rolled down from my eyes.

“Its good because I also don’t want a heartless and ugly man like you” I said. My words took him by surprise, I can see that.

He opened and closed his mouth but didn’t say anything.

I took the opportunity and pushed him away lightly and ran away from there. I heard him call out for me but I didn’t stop, neither I looked behind.

I know I might get punished for insulting a royal family member, but I don’t care.

He also called me weak and w***e without knowing the truth.

And I meant what I said. Not that part where I called him ugly.

He is handsome, way too handsome for his own good. But I meant when I said. I don’t want a heartless mate like him.

I don’t want to be with a man who looks down on me just because of my rank.

I came out of the pack house while running. Tears have blurred my vision that is why I tripped over something.

I was about to fall on the hard ground when suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around my waist, saving me from the fall.

My heart was pounding loudly when I looked up and my brown teary orbs locked with calm gray ones, staring down at me in concern.

I don’t know why but fresh tears started rolling down from my eyes when he asked me in a very soft tone filled with concern,

“are you okay?”

…...

Next day

I woke up at six in the morning and got ready for my first day as the bodyguard for the Luna Sophia.

My mind drifted off to the events of yesterday. It was supposed to be a happy day for me but everything got ruined because of my second mate.

I still can’t get him out of my mind. Maybe it is because our bond is not broken, that is why I keep thinking about him.

I need to calm myself down.

I remember what Aron said to me yesterday.

Aron is the same man who saved me from falling down on the ground outside the pack house.

He is a leader of one group of warriors and he is one of the best warrior. I have seen him few times in past but I hardly spoke with him.

But yesterday, when he saw me crying, he comforted me with his words.

‘I don’t know what it is that made you cry, but I am sure it will pass and everything will be fine. Just stay strong'

This is what he said before leaving me alone.

His words touched me. He is right. It will pass and after two months, everything will be fine. I just need to be strong during these two months.

With this determination, I came out of my room and made my way to palace where Luna Sophia will be.

I was told to reach there at seven and only ten minutes are left.

“Good luck” Stella, my friend wished me before I left the room.

I don’t know why I am feeling restless. Maybe because it is a very big task and it is making me nervous.

But for some reason, I feel like this uneasiness is caused by something else.

I shook my head and shrug off all unwanted thoughts.

I reached the palace and after seeing my batch, the warriors at the gate let me in.

I was escorted to the living room by another warrior where I saw Luna Sophia sitting with a cup of coffee in her one hand and in other hand she was holding her phone.

She is wearing a white dress. Her long blonde hairs are open. She is very beautiful just like a model from a magazine.

Her gaze was fixed on the mobile screen when I greeted her, “Good Morning Luna”.

She hasn’t become the official Luna queen yet.

I bowed my head respectfully before looking at her. Now she is staring at me with a frown.

“Who are you?” She asked me.

“I am your new bodyguard Luna” I replied politely.

“Oh… Vincent told me that I will get a female bodyguard soon. But I never thought it will be an….. omega” she said hesitantly.

I took a deep breath but didn’t say anything.

“Anyway, I hope you will work hard and keep me protected” she added leaning her back against the sofa.

“I will do my best Luna” I said. She just hummed in response. But I can see doubts in her eyes.

She doesn’t trust me and is judging me like everyone else, I can see that.

I told myself to not get affected by her judging gaze.

Suddenly her eyes went behind me and a very big grin plastered on her beautiful face. She got up from the sofa and walked past me.

I turned around to find her wrapping her arms around a man.

“Good morning love” she said before placing her lips on his, kissing him.

A sharp pain shot through my chest. My heart clenched tightly.

“Good morning to you too love” he whished her back before smashing his lips over hers once again and pulled her more closer to himself.

I felt needles piercing my heart and burning sensation started spreading inside me. I clenched my hands into fist and took a deep breath to control myself.

The pain is only increasing and the man who is responsible for this pain is completely unaware about it.

Not able to watch them like this, I looked away from them.

After what felt like forever, the pain in my chest reduced which told me that they stopped kissing.

I shifted my gaze to look at them.

His arm was still wrapped around Luna Sophia and he was smiling at her while she was saying something which I couldn’t hear.

Suddenly he looked away from her and his eyes fell on me and they widened slightly and his smile faded.

Luna Sophia followed his gaze and looked in my direction.

“why… are you here?” he asked me. His face hardened.

“Do you know her?” Luna Sophia asked him which made him look away from me. His eyes softened when he stared at her.

“No I don’t. Who is she?” he asked her.

I felt a pang when he denied knowing me.

‘Why are you getting hurt Bella, when you know he wants to reject you' I said to myself.

“She is my new bodyguard” Luna Sophia answered with a frown.

He looked up at me with a look which told me that he is also judging me.

But I couldn’t care less about his stare as realization hit me hard. My blood went cold and my breath hitched as I realized that the woman I have to protect is his mate.

And if she is Luna then he is the Alpha King of the pack. I have heard that all the Alpha King's are blessed with two mates.

And I guess I am his second mate.

And I have to protect his first mate.

Can fate be more crueler than this to me? I will have to witness my mate with another woman everyday.

It is going to be a pure hell.

'why are you punishing me like this moon goddess?’
