I was sentenced to ten years with a prison mark so no one would harm me as a prisoner of the Supremes, I didn't care; I only focused on making myself better for when Pearson returned. Faux had been silent for years and wanted everything perfect, I bought this cottage outside Lurbartown, repaired it, and made the furniture. Everything was what we talked about in our plans to live out our lives together, I had a nice kitchen garden and a white picket fence. I had just taken the bread out of the oven and went upstairs to take a quick shower, I had planned to have a quiet afternoon by doing some reading. I looked at myself in the mirror, missing my husband, and I looked at my hand, still wearing my wedding ring, when I heard the doorbell. I had no idea who it was because I don't get visitors, my neighbors were like half a mile down the hill from here, I looked outside and saw my husband.
I got excited, opened the door and was shocked before I hugged him, I couldn't believe he found me like I knew he would, I wanted to show him our house, but he just stood there. I looked behind him and saw another guy with him, and I felt jealous but smiled, inviting him in; he was linking him, so I waited. He held my hand and took me back inside like he was afraid of something, or I could be reading it wrong. He looked at me nervously, and I said, "I got this house hoping one day you would forgive me," he stopped me, saying, "I didn't come here to make-up with you," pulling out the papers. He handed them to me, I took them from him, and reading them, I was shocked, saying, "I thought when you never filed years ago, that you still wanted to work things out." My heart hurt again, and I knew it was now or never to fight for him, for the love we shared and hoped we could work it out.
He said, "No, I just needed to heal from your betrayal," my eyes clouded with tears, and I said, "I am not signing this," trying to give him the papers back. He yelled, "Sign it, damn it," and I asked, "Are you not even going to try?" He looked at our wedding ring still on my finger as I played with it nervously, and he blurted out, "I have my mate, I found him, he is right outside, now signed it." I didn't know what to say as it registered that he had found his destined mate and my heart broke again, all this time wasted, and I said, "Oh, I have a pen around here somewhere," painfully started to look around for it, as my voice broke, unable to hold my tears back, I inhaled when he said, "I have a pen," pulling it out. I took the pen and signed the papers with shaky hands, and smiled, saying, "Good luck," I handed them to him before turning around and running up the stairs, slamming my door shut.
I looked outside as he got into the car with his mate and drove off, never looking back, I wiped my tears and sat on the bed, I hated my life. From being given up at four to being sexually abused by the director of the orphanage and being a s*x slave, I should end it all, my life was meaningless. I lost someone I loved again, I begged Faux not to leave me again; he was all I had, so I closed my eyes and wished for death, but I woke up to a brand-new day and the Supremes were in town. I stayed indoors, remembering my warning to keep away from Gamma Ty, however, I made up my mind to leave here once my sentence was up. There was nothing left here for me, now and once the coast is clear, I will disappear.

I was finally free when I got up and saw that my mark had disappeared; I was no longer considered a prisoner, I did my time, and I felt great. Esmerelda was killed a few years back, so I was completely free, I had my things packed and loaded into my truck, and I saw my neighbor pull up. I handed him the deed of my house, I no longer wanted it, and he looked at me, shocked, I said, "I'm not coming back, and you deserve it for being my friend when I needed one." He hugged me and said, "I hope you find true happiness one day," I smiled, got into my truck, and pulled off. I did not need the cottage anymore, I was ready to travel and hopefully find something that spoke to me before I settled down in a territory again. I had decided to leave my old self behind and enjoy life a bit more, after driving for almost fifteen hours, I stopped by a motel to spend the night.
I was looking at the map after enjoying a small meal alone, the TV was on and there was this competition going on in Ironside, a rich guy was looking to date a nobody. I looked at it and smiled, I thought about it, remembering Lear, he was probably happily mated by now and never thought anymore about it. I decided to sign up for the competition just for the fun of it, I would need a few more dollars, and it would be just a date once I got there. However, I probably won't win, and with my luck, I'd rather not and never think about it anymore. I had a history of getting myself hurt or hurting those I loved, I looked at Pearson's number on my phone and was tempted to call it. I still loved him, I dialed the number and hung up quickly, angry with myself for even thinking about calling him. I still miss him, I wish I could just get over him and be done with it, but I held my chest and cried again. I felt empty, lonely, missing him while he had his mate, I guess being an Omega is destined to be unlucky in love, and I closed my eyes, dreaming of a new tomorrow.

Kiko and I broke up because we believed it was time, but we remained friends; he still helped in looking for my mate when he decided to come up with this plan. A competition that would lure men like him to register for a website with pictures, it was sleazy, but my uncle Nex assured us it would work; my father was even on board with the stupid idea. It was hard moving on without Lucas, my father had him buried near the mansion, we missed him, but we couldn't save him. Nexus shed a tear for him because he loved us like his own, and we respected that, my sisters were hurt when he died, but we coped and moved on. I walked into the office and saw Kiko with his laptop showing me the website, there were a lot of men signing up, and all the pictures were being sent to my email. Nexus walked in and looked at me, saying, "We will find him soon enough," he was right; I could feel it, I wanted my mate badly and hoped he forgave me for everything.
Nex looked at his watch and said, "I will be going on vacation, so get Jesse to pick up the slack, and Asa will be at your house bright and early tomorrow." I smiled because I loved my niece, she was adorable and didn't care if they came back for her, I spoiled her rotten like I do all my kids. Speaking of kids, I adopted Lucas's last child after he was born, it was a bittersweet moment because his mother didn't want anything to do with him, so legally, he was mine. I looked at Kiko when my uncle left and asked, "How are you doing?" He smiled and said, "As good as I can be, Lear," I walked over to him and made him look at me, he said, "I am good, we chose to end things because I could never live up to your mate." I stopped him and kissed his lips, he kissed back, and we both stopped and inhaled, resting our foreheads together.
He whispered, "I think I have spent enough time here, I should go," I passed my thumb on his lips and kissed him again, we teleported to my bedroom, ripping each other's clothes off. I haven't been with anyone since we broke up, and it got heated fast, I leaned my head back as he took my c**k in his mouth and I went down his throat. I moaned his name as I stopped him, so I could return the favor, we ended up on the bed f*****g each other's brains out before we collapsed on the bed exhausted late into the night. Kiko looked at me and said, "We really shouldn't do this," we laughed because it just happened. I kissed him again and whispered, "Do you mean happen again?" He smiled, and I said, "Stay the night, I'm not done with you, yet," he rested his head on my chest just like old times, and we drifted off to sleep.
