His Chosen Omega

Chapter 8

-Elise-

During the carriage to the royal capital, the air had been so heavy. The omega female who was riding with us, seemed to have a problem with me. She would shoot daggers at me or scoff.

However, on the hand, Clyde didn’t seem to pay much notice to her presence. He would always check if I was comfortable or ask me to give his chin a tub.

Honestly, this man was supposed to be the royal beta but the more time we spend together, the more childlike he seemed.

The royal capital was quite a distance from Anatol but Peon was even farther. Clyde said we would arrive before the sun was set.

That news was a relief to me because I very much did not enjoy spending the night outdoors and I would hate to cause trouble for everyone. Clyde would have definitely made us camp in a nearby village and that would have troubled everyone.

It had been more than six hours since one of the soldiers announced to us that we should be reaching the royal capital soon. Looking outside of the carriage, I could not help but let my thoughts wonder to what life may be at the royal palace.

As if sensing my thoughts, Clyde strokes my cheek at looks at me with a very soft gaze.

“Do not worry baby. Everything will be fine.” He says while stroking my cheeks.

I smile and melt into his arms. Of course. Everything should be fine.

Looking at the other side of the carriage, I see that the haughty omega was sound asleep. She was to become the next bride of the crown prince and the future werewolf queen.

I am sure any other female in my position will be envious but I did not feel anything of the sort. I have never been hungry for power or fame. I just wanted to grow old with someone who would love me for me.

There should be no problem then. All I need to do is listen to whatever Clyde says and always make sure my hair is dyed black. Once everything is settled, he would resign and move to the outskirts. We will have a life away from nobility and just be by ourselves.

Once again, my thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the carriage door.

“Royal beta Clyde! The royal capital is in sight and we should reach the royal palace within the hour” a soldier announces.

“Good! Raise the flags of the crown prince’s faction and get me my horse” he orders

Turning to me, Clyde kisses the side of my neck. “I’m sorry princess but daddy has to lead the escort into the city.”

He had a very dejected look on his face and was very reluctant to leave me. I knew that if I expressed any hint of displeasure, he would break the rules and would stay with me in the carriage.

However, I knew that would be the height of selfishness. Doing that would be openly disrespecting the crown prince and I did not want him to have any trouble because of me.

“It’s fine Clyde, I’ll be here till you come get me”. This seemed to relax him and he kisses my hands.

“I’m sorry to put such a useless task on your hands but could you please wake up the sleeping omega?” he asks with a grimace.

I could not help the chuckle that left my lips. It was almost as if he hated the thought of even touching her and this made me incredibly happy.

I guess I had no need to bother about the females in the royal capital. Clyde had only eyes for me.

“I will daddy” I say while scratching his chin. This earned me a purr. Heehee.

To think that this very powerful werewolf would let a purr and ask for his chin to be rubbed. If the kingdom was to know about this, I’m sure they would shake their heads in disbelief.

With that, Clyde gives me one final kiss, this time on my lips and he flies out of the moving carriage unto his prepared horse.

Thankfully I didn’t need to wake the female up as she was already up and staring at me. If looks could kill, I would be dead seven times over.

It was clear that she hated me but I had no idea why.

“You may think he loves you but it is all a lie” she said with a scoff. Her silver hair was short and neatly cut. I could tell that she uses expensive oils from the way her hair was shining.

I have never particularly taken care of my hair but it grew to my waist and was tangle free and soft,

“What do you mean a-and what is your n-name?” I ask embarrassed by the fact I stuttered.

“My name is Rosina but you shall refer to me as Lady Rosina”. She said while fiddling with her hair.

Huh?

What did she mean?

Clyde already told me that as his mate, there was no female in the royal capital that I needed to talk to so formally. So, what was she saying? She was not even engaged to the crown prince yet.

Probably taking my silence as an act of submission, she continued.

“As you can see, I am an omega. One of the rarest and most precious species of the werewolf race. I would allow you to become of one of my followers because you are the mate of the royal beta”.

Huh?

Was this female stupid?

I had to contain my laughter. If only she knows that she is speaking to another omega herself

What kind of place does she think the royal capital is? From what my grandmother had told me, omegas were mostly used as breeding tools to give birth to alphas and were not normally loved by the spouses.

I guess such a life was okay enough for Rosina as she looked like she was ready to jump out of the carriage and find the crown prince herself.

“uhm……. Thank you for the offer but I decline” I say with disbelief.

“Just you wait. Once I am queen-“

She did not have the chance to continue as we were interrupted by cheers. We had finally entered the royal capital.

It was like a festival. I have always dreamed of seeing one. Everyone gathered around the escort to probably have a look at the omega no doubt.

We slowly made our way and I was sure that Clyde was leading the escort. I took my time enjoying the view of the city and before I knew what was happening, the door to the carriage was open and I knew that my life in the royal capital was about to begin.
