The Southern King's Hoax Mate

CHAPTER 4~~THE PUSH~~

~~DEONISIA~~

_________________

  "Hmm, where am I?" I looked around the room, groaning as I try to sit up once realising I was in one of the infirmary rooms and I flinched as Goldie jumped from beside the bed.

 "Good goddess, Isia, you are awake, wait let me call doctor Claude." I watched in confusion as she raced outside the room, and I wondered why she was being so jittery. How did I even get here?

I try to sit up and I feel a numbing pain in chest, and my hand voluntarily moved to rub my chest as I tried to remember what happened and how I got here. 

The last thing I remember was Goldie coming into the kitchen and we talked about how to help me find something doing outside the palace. What happened after?

The sound of the infirmary door pushing open interrupted my thoughts, and I looked up to see the queen walking in with Dr. Claude and Goldie.

"How are you doing, my girl?"

Queen Jenna asks, walking to my side, and I tried to sit up again, so I could bow in due respect to her, but she stopped me. 

"I am okay, I guess. What happened to me?" I directed the question to Goldie because I remembered she was with me in the kitchen, so she has to know. 

"You fainted, and I had the servants rush you to the infirmary." Goldie responds, and I frowned, why would I faint out of the blue?

"Why though? We were talking right, why can't I remember anything after that?" Dr. Claude moved forward, placing his tabloid on the table-tray besides the bed.

"Deonisia, according to the princess, when she rushed you here, you kept saying your heart hurts before you collapsed and you were coughing blood. Do you not remember any of that?"

Dr. Claude asked, I was about to shake my head to tell him no, when my hand slowly rubbed against my chest and I groaned as memories flooded my head. 

"I think I do, I was doing the dishes when my heart pulled together." I also remembered what Alora told me before she faded into the back of my head. What Hadrian was doing at that moment while I was writhing in pain, he was enjoying himself and claiming another one. 

Did he even know that we are fated mates, maybe he knew, his wolf might have told him, yet he still claimed another she-wolf. 

"It's a good thing you remember, because based on your record, you don't have any health issues with your heart. As an omega, I know you are more exposed to illness and complicated health issues, that's why I ran every test I could to see if there was anything missing from your birth records but there was none. Medically Nothing. you are one hundred percent fine."

Dr. Claude says, and I nod, of course I would be. I might be an omega, but from what I remember from my mom, she comes from a strong omega blood line. Both her parents were omegas, even my grandparents and great parents were omegas. 

In my mom's bloodline, they mostly got mated with omegas and that made her bloodline unique because it is rare to find two omega pairs as mates, but from when mom could remember, the past generations were all pure breed omega.

That made all their offspring strong, making them differ from your regular omegas. Although I might not be a pure breed omega like mom, I still carry some of her genes, which strengthens me than your regular omega. 

"Dr. Claude, I don't understand if you say nothing is wrong with her medically, what caused her to have heart pain that resulted in her fainting? Should we be, worried about situations like this in the future?"

Queen Jenna asks, turning her full focus to the doctor, and he moves back to pick up his Tabloid. 

"I can't say for sure yet, Deonisia, I would like for you to answer this question." I nod at the doctor and he proceeds 

"Did your omega blossom recently?" Dr. Claude asks and I nod, wondering what direction the question was going.

"Okay, if so, have your perhaps met your mate and did he reject you?" I didn't expect him to ask such questions. Isn't it too personal for him to be asking me questions that are personal like that? Knowing how omegas are delicate with the mate topic.

"I know such questions are sensitive to you as an omega and I apologise, but there is a need to know if that's the case. Sometimes rejected wolves experience pains like this. It's not common, but most cases are in omegas."

I stared at him as he explained the need for his question, while I had an inner battle with myself. 

If I answer this question truthfully, the Goldie will drag the name of whoever my mate is out of my mouth, and that puts me in trouble with Hadrian, and I also do not know how the queen would react to the news that the crown prince is mates with someone like me. 

The royal family has a constant, and that is, they are always either mated with Alpha's or Beta's, according to what my mom told me. I am an orphan omega and the Alpha king would not find it appealing to hear I am mated to the future king. 

Besides, I don't want any reason that would force me back to him, especially if he won't acknowledge me as his mate.

"If there is, you can tell us Isia, mom and I are here for you." Goldie says, grabbing my hand and she gives it a gentle squeeze of comfort.

"There isn't, I haven't found my mate yet, nor was I rejected." I had to lie, to avoid more drama, questions and any future problem for my siblings and I. For now, I just have to play it safe, hopefully the Alpha king agrees, and allows me to work. I can save up and move my siblings out of the palace before the fvcker becomes king. 

"I see, I am sorry to say this, but with no medical cause for your heart pain. It's safe to say your mate where they are might have claimed someone else, and since you didn't sever your bond the proper way, that might be the reason for the pain."

Dr. Claude says, and I swallowed, nodding as I tried to fight back the tears pulling in my eyes because hearing him say this really gave me a reality check of what I wished I could pretend didn't exist.

"Will I find myself in a similar situation as yesterday? Is there a way to prevent this from happening again?"  

I asked Dr. Claude, because I needed to know if this would become a constant part of my life, would the pain comeback? If it would, I have to prepare myself for it next time. 

"Deonisia, they brought here you last week." Dr. Claude informed, looking over to the queen for approval of the information he just passed and she nods while I had my eyes widen in shock.

"What? last week? I was unconscious for five days? Oh goddess, what about my brothers?" I panicked, pushing up from the bed, for a moment there I had forgotten the lingering pain that prevented me from sitting up earlier and when I forced my body up now a painful groan escapes my lips. 

"You can't move your body like that just yet. I was waiting for you to wake to know if I had to administer some pain relief. Looks like you're still in a pain, I'll have to inject you and watch how fast your body responds to it before I discharge you."

Dr. Claude says, helping my body lay back on the bed and I sighed, Hadrian rejected me and I accepted, but why is the pain this intense? 

I understand that; we are fated mates, but the pain shouldn't be so intense, given that I accepted his rejection.

"Your brothers are okay, they came to check on you while you were unconscious, they should be in school now." Goldie says and I nod. 

"About your question, if the wolf your mate marked accepts him, then won't feel the pain anymore well unless the moon goddess decides others. However, you can go out on runs more often, in your wolf form. It would help you both connect to mother nature more and that would help lessen any future pain."

"Thank you." I mumbled to the doctor, and he smiled, bowing at the queen before excusing himself and Goldie settles herself on the space beside me. 

"I am sorry, that you have to go through something like this, my girl. Whoever he is, it's his loss, trust in the moon goddess and she will give you a better second chance mate."

Queen Jenna comforts me with her words and I nod, offering her a smile, even though I know my chances of having a second chance mate are slim. 

"When you are out of here, we would find him and beat his ass up." Goldie jokes and I laugh.

"Are sure we can take him? What if he is an alpha or a warrior wolf?" I asked, aiding her joke and Goldie frowns..

"We will just poison him with wolfsbane."

"That's not the best revenge, you would only get yourselves in trouble. Best thing is to find strengthen in his rejection, even if you haven't met, don't let this make you fragile but use it a medium to become stronger. And of course become more beautiful and smarter, so that the day he ever meets you, he would realise what treasure he lost and definitely regret his rejection, but then you won't need him anymore."

Queen Jenna inputs, and I nod at her, realising the empowerment in her words, but I also wondered if her advice would be the same if she realised that the person we are talking about is her beloved son.

"Thank you, your highness, I'll put that in to good use. Perhaps his majesty would permit me to train with the warriors. That's a good way to get stronger."

I chipped in; I have always wanted to become a warrior like my mom, perhaps this was the awakening I needed to push towards achieving that. 

"Hm, I don't know. I think that's a bit of a stretch. What if you wound? you know there are not much omegas amongst the warriors?"

"I would heal, your highness that can also help occupy my mind and I won't have to think about my non-existent mate."

I chipped in, hoping her highness would see reasons and consider talking to the Alpha king for me. Truth be told, any other day, I wouldn't have had the courage to say this to her face. 

But hearing her talk about becoming stronger and smarter gave me that push to confront the subject like this. 

"How about the royal guards instead? The royal guards are, trained warriors, since there are always new recruits, you can train with them and I can get my mate to have you under the supervision of the chief trainer. Is that okay?"

Queen Jenna suggests, asking if I was okay with her opinion. I could have leapt for joy if I wasn't bedridden at the moment. 

Despite my inability to jump for excitement as I so wished, I nod my head frantically in agreement and she smiled. For me, this is better than working in the infirmary or any other place. 

This is a getaway for me, I don't need to work as a royal guard after my training or enlist as a warrior for the kingdom's army. I can move to the provinces with my siblings and work as a personal guard or body guard for any hiring noble family. 

I've heard they pay their guards a reasonable amount and offer living accommodations, that would favour me in so many ways. I can finally rid myself of Hadrian and everything affiliated with him. 

"Thank you so much, your highness, thank you. Thank you." I chant repeatedly, bowing my head as I did, and the queen smiled. 

"It's nothing child, if that's what you want, why not. Besides, it's another way to kick that asshole like Goldie says." At the queen's words, I turn to my best friend and I smiled at her, which she returned with genuine love. 

"I have things to look over in the palace, let me leave you too to whatever it is you do as friends."

"Thank you for everything, your highness." I say to the queen with utmost gratitude in my heart and she smiles, with a nod. 

"Get well fast, okay. Goldie, don't keep her awake for too long, she needs to rest." With the motherly warning to her daughter, the queen exits the infirmary room, and I sighed in content. 

At least now someone won't have the chance to call me a gullible twenty-one-year-old omega with no career plan. I am not doing this to prove him wrong, but I am doing it for myself because I deserve better than what the moon goddess chose for me.
