My Mate's Tough Choice

Chapter 2

CELINE'S POV

I jumped up with heavy breaths, as the heavy splash hit my face. I was both gasping for air and trying to get understanding of my environment.

“Eat something!” Liam's voice immediately followed the splash. “That's enough lazing around for three days.” He added.

‘Three days!’ I screamed in my head, but that was only as far as I could get, since I didn't have the strength at all to voice out my thoughts.

I felt the cold, wet floor and when I tried to move away, bumped my head on the closet door. It instantly reminded me of the ugly experience that ended our last encounter.

Liam stared at me with a raised eyebrow, while I tried to press down my swollen head.

“For the life of me, how can you be this clumsy and annoying?” He yelled, after which he turned around and went to seat on the edge of the bed.

I didn't have the time to lament over the headbump for long, as I pounced on the food, to satisfy my rumbling stomach.

I had really been trapped in the closet for three days and had neither seen the sun, nor had anything to eat. This reality brought tears streaming down my cheeks.

When I was taken away from my pack and brought here to be Alex's bride, this was not the life promised to me.

If I had the slightest idea that my life was going to go downhill, straight from when I left the pack, I would have chosen to remain an omega to the royal household.

It wasn't the best of lives I had back there, and my mate was a total jerk. It was on the night of our mating ceremony that he shows up with another woman and crowns her Luna.

“Oh, curse my low social status!” I whispered under my breath.

Being an omega has caused me so much and I hated my very existence.

I was right in the middle of my lamentations when…

“When you're done, take a good bath and be waiting in bed, by the time I get back,” Liam said.

I lifted my eyes and stared at him and said nothing else aside that, until he got up and went to the door.

“Naked!” Liam added emphatically, and my food took a wrong route, choking me and leaving me coughing seriously and in a struggle for my life.

“And clean up that mess,” he added, gesturing at the pool of water that was fast spreading.

It took me a few seconds to catch my breath and subtly in my heart, I wished that I had died in the closet, or perhaps choked to death.

I got up after my meal and cleaned the room, which required me moving ever furniture in the chambers, as the water had spread far and wide.

When I was done with the cleaning, I was far less then useless.

I was just going to dive into the bed, to rest my aching back, when I heard a knock on the door.

‘Dear goddess, kill me!’ I exclaimed, rolling my eyes to the back of my skull. I was weary of everything, but it didn't matter, because the knocking persisted and I went over to open it.

“The Alpha sent us here to give you a bath and prepare you,” one of the two maids standing at the door said.

“What?” I exclaimed, but they didn't respond and instead ushered themselves in.

One went straight to the bathroom, while the other set down a box full of all sorts of lotion and body care materials.

I was cringing at the thought of them giving me a bath. In this part of the world, it was considered luxury, and perhaps, since I have never had that luxury in my life before, I could not in it.

Whether or not I was willing was not a factor that was put into consideration, because both ladies picked me off the ground like a feather and took me bathroom, running me a deep, scented bath.

“Ha!” I exclaimed in a deep breath, as her oily hands went through my back, massaging every nerve and muscle.

“This right here was the life that I deserved.” I said, under my breath. In all my twenty-one years of living, no pleasure was about to beat the joy of a steamy, oily massage, after a hot, scented bath.

I wanted to remain in this space for forever, and my new found peace, ushered me into deep sleep.

*******

“Argh!” I groaned very loudly and jumped from my sleep, when I felt pains in my breasts.

I opened my eyes and found Liam hovering over me and running his hands through my naked body.

My thoughts ran in a hundred different direction and the most prominent idea, was impossible at the time. I was trapped and had no escape.

“Liam!” I was going to protest when his lips pressed hard against mine, locking me in a kiss.

Before I could say ‘Jack’, Liam thrust into me and I couldn't help the loud moan that escaped my lips, and tears followed.

I was never going to get used to being a s*x tool in Liam's arms.

He got out of bed after hitting climax and pulled his zipper. Liam walked out without saying another word.

I didn't move a muscle and cried myself to sleep.

“Celine!” I heard a deafening call. I attempted to jump out of bed, but unfortunately, I was pulled back by a terrible headache.

I was dizzy and my vision was extremely blurry.

“Celine!” The call drew closer and the door flew open.

“Get your lazy self out of bed, you have a lot to do!” Liam yelled.

I was terrified of him and didn't hesitate to drag myself out of bed, but just when I got on my feet, I fell to the floor, hitting my head on the wooden frame of the bed.
