THE REJECTED OMEGA

CHAPTER THREE

Carol's Confrontation.

The Alpha ordered for Carol's release. She felt a sense of relief wash over her. However, the cloud of suspicion still hung over her, and she knew she needed to be cautious. She continued to go about her daily tasks in the Pack trying to keep a low profile and avoid any further trouble.

As days passed, Carol noticed a change in the behavior of the Alpha. His frequent visits to the slave's quarters, where she and others resided, had stopped for a while. It was a welcome respite, and Carol hoped that the investigation had diverted his attention.

One evening, as the moon cast its silvery glow over the woods, the Alpha returned to the slave's quarters. Carol, who had been sharpening a blade, looked up in surprise as he entered.

The Alpha's eyes bore into her with a predatory gleam. "Carol, since you've been released from torture. I believe we should get back to business, isn't it?"

Carol's heart raced, but she refused to show fear. "I have nothing to do with your affairs, Your Majesty. I only wish to live in peace."

The Alpha laughed mischievously. "Peace you say? In this Pack, peace is a luxury you can't afford. You see, I have desires, and you will fulfill them."

Carol clenched her fists, her resolve strengthening. "I won't be a pawn in your games any longer. I've endured enough. I love you but you seem not to reciprocate. I can't stand a covetous mate. Why can't you just come out clean and tell everyone the truth about us?" She flared up.

"Do you want Anto to catch us the second time? I'm sure this time she wouldn't spare my life. If you don't want me just spare me and let me be please."

"You don't understand, Carol. I can make your life a living hell, or I can make it comfortable. It's your choice."

Carol took a step back, maintaining a defiant stance. "I won't be manipulated by fear any longer. If you continue down this path, I will expose your actions to the entire Pack."

The Alpha's grip on her arm tightened, his nails digging into her skin. "You're playing a dangerous game, slave. You don't know what I'm capable of."

She clearly understood that she couldn't prevail in this conflict without any allies, and facing Alpha Adonis's threats, she reluctantly decided to comply with his demand which led to a series of unprotected s*x.

Meanwhile, Anto had decided to spy on Caroline to discover the identity of her secret lover. She usually stays close to Carol's cabin every night to catch her in the act.

After several nights of spying, she later saw the mystery man's face. Her heart sank when she saw his brother making out with Carol, a common slave.

"I have never wanted this little outcast as a mate for my brother, and I thought he was smart. Guess I was wrong. How on earth will Adonis stoop so low to have s*x with this low life?" She muttered.

"I must put an end to this'' She vowed.

Immediately after Adonis departed, Anto stormed the slave quarters to confront Caroline.

"Now that I caught you right in the act, let me see how you will deny having an affair with my brother, the Alpha."

"I am his mate, and you know this. I can't deny my love for him no matter what you do." Carol replied to her, determined to face the consequences of her action.

"Stay away from my brother if you wish to stay alive. He already has a mate and that definitely won't be you. So leave my brother alone." Anto warned her and left for the palace.

Anto was disappointed in Adonis. She wanted someone with a class and not a peasant like Carol. After every attempt to stop them proved abortive, she decided to offer Carol money to stay away from her brother.

Carol was rooted in love. She couldn't say no even when Anto offered her 30 pieces of silver to escape and never return. Her response remained the same. She can't trade the love she has for the Alpha.
