Chapter Two Lyra's POV I shuddered as I remembered the incident years ago. I still felt embarrassed each time I thought of it. I sighed as I washed the dishes. It was meant to be the work of the omegas but Raven had insisted on it claiming that I should do some work to show that I was grateful. There was no difference between me and another omega but I dared not to complain because I would sound like an ungrateful b***h if I did so. Alpha Kade had asked me to stay with them in the pack house after what happened. I couldn't resist his kind gestures. His daughter may be the worst but he was definitely the best. I sighed as I arranged the cutleries on the table. Alpha Damian of the Black wood pack was coming over and everything had to be perfect. He was going to marry Raven. She had been so excited about their marriage that she forgot to taunt me. Rumors had it that he was the most gorgeous and youngest Alpha of our time. I have heard Raven speak so highly of him. The dreamy look in her eyes had said it all. Finally, she was leaving the pack. My arch enemy was finally leaving the pack. I stared at the arrangement. It was perfect. The dishes were more than perfect. I breathed in the scent allowing it to cool my system. As much as I wanted to stay and look at the contented look on Alpha Damian's face when he feasts on the meal I prepared, I had to leave early so my scent will be gone before dinner starts. My scent would spoil his mood if he caught it. Raven's words not mine. I turned to go, satisfied with what I’d done. My temple came in contact with something hard. The force was hard and I jostled back, almost falling down. I braced myself for the worst fall ever but it never happened. Strong arms wrapped around me and I forced my eyes open. My mouth hung open in shock as I stared at the handsome figure in front of me. Handsome is a mild word to describe him. He was gorgeous…yes gorgeous. I drank in his figure. Time seemed to stand still for a moment as I stared into his intense, smoldering dark brown eyes. I could stare at them for a whole day and not be tired. My eyes went to his perfectly styled hair and his chiseled jawline. I could not stop myself. My body no longer belonged to me. They were fully under his control. My hands went to his face tracing his strong cheek bone. Strong arms pulled me back to my feet bringing me back from my fantasy land. He was definitely what they had described him to be if not more than that. He was a walking temptation. My cheeks flushed with a deeper shade of crimson as I realized myself. I cleared my throat awkwardly cleaning my now sweaty palms on my dress. " I'm so sorry Alpha Damian." I said roughly forcing my eyes to the ground. " I should go." I whispered when the air between us thickened with tension. I turned to go but his strong palm held my hand and pulled me to his chest. " Mine!" He thundered. His eyes flickered from their natural brown color to pure black. I knew that his wolf was fighting for control. "Mate." He growled possessively and I forgot how to breathe. Am I really his mate? Tears of joy ran down my cheeks and he caught it before they could roll down. My arms wrapped around his waist and I sniffed on his alluring scent. For a minute, I forgot about the world. I forgot about Raven and the rest of the pack members. None of them mattered. My mate would protect me from them. The moon goddess had finally had mercy on me. I was suddenly pushed away from his body. My eyes looked into his angry brown eyes and I whimpered. What had I done wrong again? " How dare you lowly Omega think that I would accept you as my mate?" I wrapped my hands around myself, missing the comfort of his body already. I winced at his choice of words but he was not done. " Why would you think that I, Alpha Damian, the strongest of all Alphas, would want a weak and ugly omega by my side?" Bitter tears sting my eyes and I fought to stop them from falling to my cheeks but I failed. I was used to being called weak and ugly but it seemed to hurt more than usual, coming from him. " What is your dirty name?" He asked, using a cloth to clean his body. He was cleaning my scent off him. " I asked you a god-damned question, lowly Omega!" He thundered and I flinched. When his eyes met mine, I saw the hatred in his eyes. It was twice the one in Raven's eyes. More tears flowed down my cheeks and I did nothing to stop them. " Lyra. Lyra Kade." I said slowly and he scoffed, mumbling something about — stupid name and stupid face. Was I that ugly? " Look at me!" My eyes shot up at his command. " I, Alpha Damian Wayne of the Black wood pack re.." " No!" I screamed when I realized what he was about to do. He looked at me disgustingly. I lunged forward in a bid to touch him. Our earlier contact elicited a response from his wolf and I was aiming at that. But he was too fast. He stepped aside, allowing me to fall to the ground with my face. " I will not have a weak omega tied to me. I will not let you destroy everything I have done. You are no Luna material!" I struggled to my feet trying to stop my pathetic self from crying. " I, Alpha Damian Wayne of the Black wood pack, reject you, Lyra Kade as my mate." My stomach twisted in pain as I struggled to hold myself. " Accept the rejection, poor omega." I shook my head at his words. As long as I do not accept the rejection, it will not be complete. I just have to ignore the pain for a while. I will not let the last hope I have of leaving this prison slip away from me. " Are you trying to die?" He raised his brow at me. I fell to the ground rolling in pain. He stood there watching me, not bothering to help me. " Very well then, I will not be held responsible for your death." He turned his back at me and walked into the dinning room leaving me to my fate. Just a little more time and it will be okay. I told myself. I felt myself slipping away to unconsciousness and I did not fight it. I would not be in pain if I was unconscious. I didn't know how long I was out but the continuous throbbing pain at my lower back brought me back to consciousness. I opened my eyes slowly, I was still on the ground wrapped around myself like a doll! " Are you going to stand up or what?!" I painfully sat up turning my head to stare at the angry pairs of eyes staring down at me. I suddenly felt vulnerable and I shifted backwards. " If you want to die, you should go to the grave of your pathetic mother and not here! No one will need to perceive your smelling body." " I wasn't trying to die." I said slowly. " Are you that shameless that you fell asleep in front of the dining room?!" " Were you trying to embarrass the Alpha after all that he had done for your pathetic soul? Thank goodness Alpha Damian did not come in contact with you. He would have thought the worst." I winced at the sound of his name. " Were you trying to sabotage Raven's marriage?" Oh goodness! My head was throbbing and their continuous lamentations worsened it. I struggled to my feet staggering a bit and they both shifted aside not wanting to come in contact with me. We were all omegas but I was treated like the leper among them. " I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused by my actions but I wasn't trying to do anything. I will go back to my room now." I said slowly, staring down at my feet. I couldn't listen to them any longer. I want to cuddle myself up in my cheap mattress and cry my heart out. Even my mate hated me to the extent that he would rather watch me die than help me. A little part of me hoped that he would come back for me but how wrong was I? " Not so fast, weirdo." I stopped on my track and turned to them, my head still bent. I wouldn't want them to see my tears. They would taunt me if they do. " You should go to the dinning. You are one of the maids to Alpha Damian." My ears rang in alarm and I cringed. " Raven made it clear to me that she didn't want to see me at the dining table." I tried to comport myself. " Raven is the Alpha's daughter and the Alpha enlisted you among the maids serving today." " Go in before you disgrace this pack any further." " And Lyra, this should be the last time that you would play any stupid stunt. " I nodded and walked towards the dining room. The aching in my stomach continued and I breathed in trying to control it. I stared at the door. I wasn't ready to face him yet but I couldn't disobey Alpha Kade if I wanted to survive. He was the only one that showed me a bit of kindness. " Will you go in already?" I nodded and pushed the door open ignoring the increasing aching of my stomach. Everyone turned to me and I muttered an apology refusing to look at any of their faces. My eyes caught the movements of Alpha Kade's hand on Raven's lap and I swallowed. That would explain the aching of my stomach. " What are you doing here?" Raven gritted through her teeth. " Helena said my name was on the list of the maids serving today." I could feel his eyes roaming all over my body and I felt small. I hated the way he controlled my body. " Let her be Raven." Alpha Kade said and Raven rolled her eyes. The rest of the dinner went with Alpha Damian and Raven romancing themselves under the table increasing my pain and me forcing a smile on my face trying so hard to hide my discomfort. My mate was romancing another woman in front of me ignoring my total existence. I blinked back my tears as I forcefully tore my eyes away from them. He never wanted me. Even when I had mistakenly spilled hot coffee on my skin, he did not spare me a glance. Maybe he no longer felt the pull. " You should take a break Lyra. You look sick." Alpha Kade said and I was grateful to him. Yeah I was indeed sick. My mate was happily arranging his marriage to another person in front of me. How much worse could my life be? " Thank you, Alpha." I muttered and turned my back on them. I could feel his eyes on me but I ignored it. I was looking forward to the comfort of my mattress. I need to cry my heart out.
