The Omega's heart

8

Livia

I was the one who first rejected Rick but since then my heart has been beating with a painful fierceness that caused me both pain and detesting.

And now I could not tell if it was because Rick rejected me back or because of the betrayal. I had sacrificed everything to be with him and he had done the same over the years. How could he just...

I dropped my keys and hurried into the shower. The coolness of the water was what I needed and as it hit my skin with a controlled gentleness I'm unable to hold back the tears. And before I knew it, I was sobbing quietly, my own tears falling in competition with the water.

"I thought he would cherish me forever as much as I did him." I sobbed to my wolf who tried to comfort me. "How could he do this?" I sat down on the floor and cried like a baby while it continued to rain around me.

I pulled up a pair of lacy panties on and slipped my tank top over my breasts and gazed at my dark stare in the mirror. I sigh deeply and turn to the bed and started making it. Holding, the edges of the sheet, I flung it to get the dust off only to hear something drop to the floor. I go down to pick up a black wristwatch from the floor.

I ran my thumb over the black glass screen of the watch expecting to feel the recent crack in it only to find it smooth.

"Liam..." I whispered on realizing that he had taken my watch instead of his. He had the same watch that was similar to mine in model and colour. And mine was cracked. "That asshole." I swore, yet I had a downward smile.

All day, I remained in a fetal position on my bed, thinking about how I had Liam here yesterday. I could still feel him here, lying here with me, in me.

I braced myself tightly before I dozed off.

I woke up from the cold that sting both of my legs.

I was only wearing a tank top and my panties. The pour was heavy and I rushed to lock my windows before I returned to my loneliness.

I was hoping, that I would get a call from Liam or a text at least even though I prayed not to.

If I were to hear from him I would want to see him. I knew I wouldn't be able to control myself when I did.

I did not want to make the wrong decisions. I already did with Rick and I was still feeling the impact.

As for Liam... I didn't even know Liam.

Three days passed straight I didn't hear a word from him and somehow a force in me kept attracting me to his thoughts. Each time I lay on my bed, I could only perceive his smell. Remember his presence. Think of our night together for hours but I knew the best thing I could do for myself was stay away from him too.

I ran my thumb over this wristwatch and sighs.

YOU LEFT YOUR WATCH

I texted to him and threw my phone on my lap.

'ARE YOU COMING TO GET IT?'

I texted again but there was only one tick showing at the end of my text. Same as the first text I left.

I scrolled passed the message I left him before and saw our previous chats in which I and left him snubbed. That was long before we f****d last night.

'I NEED MINE.'

I added to the queue and dropped my phone again, resting my back on the hill of my bed.

By the time I opened my eyes, the sun had lowered and toned down on its harshness. When I stood up, I felt a sharp pain in every single joint present in my waist.

Maybe as a result of sleeping off for almost four hours while in a sitting posture.

I sat down for a bowl of cereal and while spooning the milk soaked grain into my mouth, I rolled the bowl in my hands till its content was close to spilling to find a paper picture of Rick and I on the bowl.

It was a selfie of us while lying in the grass almost a year ago. I had had it printed and plastered to this bowl. I even gave him a copy which he plastered on his fridge. Come to think of it, I had not seen it anymore in my return.

I began to scratch at the edge of the paper with my nail until I created a holdable fold and with that, I ripped the paper off my bowl. Leaving a white paper mess on the ware.

I remained sitting with folded palms and losing appetite in an instant.

After a while, I got up, dressed up and grabbed Liam's wristwatch before stepping out into my car.

It would take me less than an hour to get to get to North Bay pack. Somehow, I knew I could not get my mind to off Liam. Unless I weren't being honest with myself, I still found Liam attractive even while being with Rick. Although it had not always been erotic but after our night together I knew it would be hard to go back to how it was before.

When I got there, I could not help but feel the festivity in the streets of North Bay. A strange kind of gladness that flowed in the humid air was not always present in the streets

Man! It's been six years since I last stepped here. But somehow, I still knew the way to the alpha Villa. I imagined what it would be like to meet them again. Liam's father never had enough of having me around. I was occasionally coming after school at that time and he was a very likeable person.

My meter started to scream and I looked down to see I was running out of gas.

"If it isn't about time..." I hummed before pulling over at the next station. After filling my tank, I was about hopping back in when an older lady who was luxuriously dressed approached me.

"Hi hunny. Are you making it to the alpha's villa?"

"Yeah,."

"Oh, great! My car just broke down, I need to make it in time to the villa so I don't get late for the wedding." She said while rushing towards the car.

"Wedding?" I asked while still standing by the gas pump. "Who's getting mated?" I casually pull my hands off my front pockets and approach her.

"Are you kidding me, darling?"

"I am not from this pack,..."

"Oh, I see why. The alpha is getting married today."

"Alpha?" I asked while holding the car door, ready to pull but the woman still seems dedicated to letting me know whom she's trying to describe.

"Yeah, the alpha. Liam."

I stood still and found myself unable to move or speak. "What?"

"Yeah. He is getting wedded to his long time girlfriend. I can't really say if it's a long term relationship. I think it's been just a year."

"Uuugh. I'm not really... I'm a learner so I would drive you to town where you could get a cab. I won't Wanna waist your time."

"Well, thank you."

"You're welcome." I whispered on grabbing the wheel but I feel my hands shaking. I cursed under my breath and started the car anyway.

I could not trust the words off the mouth of a woman I knew nothing about but why would she lie? She could not be mistaken either. That was impossible. And there was no other Liam alpha in North Bay.

I gulped hard and continued the ride

"Thanks darling." The woman called out after I dropped her off but I didn't answer.

I sat in the car holding the wheel with my eyes moving with everything else outside. I could hear music in every corner and melodious chants from across the street. Of course, now I knew what the festive mood was all for. Liam is clearly getting married.
