The Southern King's Hoax Mate

CHAPTER 2~~~PAY OFF~~~

~DEONISIA~

A smile break out on my face the morning sun ray seeped through the window blinds, falling on my sleeping face as I squint them open but close them again from the blinding sunlight.

I turned on my side, with my eyes close, pulling the duvet over my naked body and last night's events with Prince Hadrian played through my mind again. 

Never did I think a day like that would come when and Alpha, or any man, would adore my body like that, as omega finding our mates is hard, more so having a mate that accepts our status was even harder.

Most omega wolves get rejected by their mates immediately after they blossom and I have always thought of it as unfair. 

If an omega wolf is mates with an Alpha or beta, we wouldn't know until the age when our wolf blossoms to maturity while the alpha or beta might have known for a few years and in that period they decide if that omega is who they want.

On the night of my twenty-first birthday when I found out Prince Hadrian was my mate, I had expected a harsh rejection from him, because he never liked me and I expected little from him.

Ever since the Alpha king and his family took me and my siblings in after our parents' death, prince Hadrian never regarded me as a member of the family like the others did, even though I was best friends with his sister, the princess.

The only ones he showed affection to were my younger brothers, and I could tell it was because of their wolf ranks, they were betas unlike me, who was born an omega just like my mother. 

Although there was no rule binding how to treat omegas in our kingdom, most families treated their omegas how they pleased and the Alpha king only intervened if the omegas got severely injured.

So even when Prince Hadrian would openly call me names, no one took him seriously as long as they didn't see him hit me, it was fine.

Little did they know that most times, he did more than just call me names; he derived joy in shoving me against the walls or soiling clean clothes just to spite me, even though they never made to do chores in the palace, I did most things out of gratitude for the Alpha king and his family.

My parents dying in an attack from the Lycans almost broke me, if the princess didn't persuade her father, the king, to accommodate my siblings and I. 

Doing simple chores around the palace was my way of showing gratitude, even if they always try to stop me from doing any of those things. 

I expected nothing from Hadrian, didn't even have the slightest inkling that he would be my mate and when it happened so I expected the worst, instead he waited until after my birthday and blossoming ceremony and he apologised for how he treated me.

It felt like a dream, obviously I thought he was pulling another prank on me, but when he started attempting to be in my company just for little talks, I realised he wasn't kidding. 

I loved the attention and affection from him, although we haven't told the family yet, he promised we would soon and I don't mind. Seeing the way he treated me yesterday and made me feel pleasure I didn't know exist, I am convinced that the goddess was right for making him my mate. 

I sighed with content as I stretched my hand out on his side of the bed to feel, the warmth of my mate, but finding his side of the bed empty and cold had me opening my eyes. 

Sitting up on the bed, my eyes scanned the floor to see Hadrian's cloth was no longer on the ground and the room looked tidied up already. 

I listened for the running shower, but heard no sound coming from the bathroom and I wondered where he went to, wait...

A smile break out on my face as a thought crossed my mind and my cheeks heat, it can't be.

~Do you think, he is preparing breakfast for us?~

Alora mumbled through in my head and blushed heatedly.

~Hadrian isn't that soft, it can't be.~

I respond to my wolf, despite hoping that was the case. 

~Oh my god, Deon, breakfast in bed, do you know how sweet that is, awn, can you let me out when he brings the food.~

Alora chirps happily, and I giggled. I have always dreamt of having a man who would give me such special treatment of serving me my breakfast in bed, but I didn't think it was possible, and now Prince Hadrian might make my dream come true. 

~Stop being so peppy.~

I chide my wolf, who always seems so hyper when it's anything about her mouth, Alora sneers, about to reply when the door to the bedroom, pushed opened and my mate walked in looking all dressed up.

I couldn't help my eyes from raking through his big build as his muscles pushed firmly against the sleeves of his shirt. 

"Good morning my prince."

I greet, shyly, refusing to make eye contact with him and he nods mutely before walking into towards the bed and he bends down to pick up my clothes from last night before throwing it on my laps.

"Get dressed."

 Hadrian says stiffly, and I wondered what happened to him that made look so gloom.

~Maybe he is taking us out on a date, you know men make that face when they want to surprise their lover.~

Alora mumbles in my head and I frowned, how those she knows all these things and I don't?

"Are we going somewhere for breakfast?"

I asked with a smile as I put on my panties, but wondered if I won't need to clean myself up if we were going out to have breakfast.

"Does it look like I have the decency to take you out for breakfast? Also, it's noon."

Hadrian answered coldly, and I frowned, did I say something wrong? Besides, how was I to know that I overslept? He could have woken me up, maybe that's why he is so angry.

"Hadrian, is everything alright? You don't look well. Also, I thought you would take me out for breakfast since you didn't serve me breakfast in bed."

I replied, mumbling the last part, and Hadrian's eyes snapped to me with a questioning gaze.

"Breakfast in bed?"

He repeats and I nod, ducking my head shyly as he looked me over, I thought he was admiring me until he burst into a fit of laughter and I raised my head up.

"Did I say something funny?"

I mumbled with a pout and Hadrian looked me over, pointing his fingers at me as he laughed more. Is there something on my face?

"You are quite gullible for a twenty-one-year-old. You are too slow and lack experience, breakfast in bed? Does this look like a honeymoon to you."

Prince Hadrian snapped, and I jolted back in fright from the sudden raise in his voice. Why was he shouting at me, did someone say something to upset him?

"What did I do wrong?"

I muttered, pursing my lips, and the prince scoffed.

"Would you stop pushing out your lips like a fvcking infant, it's disgusting to see. And since you aren't smart enough to get the memo, get dressed and get the fvck out of my room omega."

Omega? Why is he referring to me like that?

"Why are you giving me attitude and being purposely mean, calling me omega? I am your mate, what is wrong with you?"

I snapped at him, getting angry that he was pushing this too far, and Hadrian laughed, advancing at me, and grabbed my throat.

"You are just are a gullible and nothing like what I would want my mate to be, if you know what is good for you. Wear your last piece of clothing and get lost, also dead, the thoughts of us being mates."

Prince Hadrian says, releasing me and I fall on the bed, coughing so badly that my throat hurts. I looked at him with teary eyes, and he scoffed.

"Is this a prank, Hadrian? Last night you said you loved me, you called me your princess and future queen. Why are you saying all these things to me?"

I questioned as I tried to fight back the tears threatening to break free from my eyes and the Alpha prince laughed.

"Call me Hadrian one more time and I'll break your jaw. Last night was my payoff, please in what universe did you think I would mate with you and make you my queen? You are nothing but a low life omega feeding of my family's wealth and power. Do you think I don't know why you became best friends with the princess so you could leach of the Alpha king family, look at you, you are twenty-one and still leaching off my family, no career plan, nothing."

His words felt like needles to my skin, I wasn't leeching off his family, I can't just leave my brothers and go my way. They are just thirteen, and I don't want to the Alpha king to think I am ungrateful if I suddenly bring up talks about leaving. Also, this is my pack, our kingdom. Where else would I go.

"It's not true, this has to be prank, Hadrian yesterday you mated me, what are you saying."

I hadn't finished my statement when my neck snapped to the side, and I cupped my cheek in pain. He slapped me.

My mate slapped me, tremor travelled throughout my body at the realisation and I turned to him with shaky eyes.

"I am Alpha Prince to you, stupid, if I mated you, where is your mating mark? Or did you forget I didn't mark you?"

Hadrian says laughing, and I swallowed, he didn't. Why is he doing this to me? If he doesn't want me as his mate, why did he lead me on? Gave me hope me, even made love to me. Why?

"Why did you make love to me yesterday if you don't want me as your mate, why?"

I almost screamed at him, but I held myself back from doing anything that would make him hit me again.

"We didn't make love, I had s*x with you. Should I have wasted my time all these years waiting for your stupid wolf to blossom? I had to get a repayment for my patience, it was a torture dealing with the idea that you are my mate since I was seventeen. Six years, I spent six years enduring the mate's rut because I couldn't have you and my wolf wouldn't take another s*x partner. Did you think I would suffer all that for nothing, yesterday was a repayment for my patience. For waiting this long to get done with you and the stupid mate bond. However, you were too gullible to even see that I meant none of the things I said."

My chest squeezed painfully at his words, and I staggered backwards. Payoff, he took my virginity as a repayment? I don't want to believe this. No, it's not true.

"It's-, yo-you are lying Hadrian, four months my prince. Are you saying you took care of me, these past mates, showed me love and affection, just to have s*x with me? To take my virginity as a repayment? No-no, th—that's not true. You are lying, you—you don...."

I choked up on my words as Hadrian stared at me with disinterest in his eyes, with no regards for my tears or the obvious heart break I was going through.

How can he dedicate four months, just to do this to me?

"Since, you have the clearer picture now, it would be easier to do this. I prince..."

"Please don't, do- don- don't do it, I beg you."

I choked on my tears, frantically grabbing his hands as I begged for him not to say those words. I can't take the pain, I am not prepared for the pain, not after thinking he would be my happily ever after, not after the happiness from last night. 

I am not that strong, Hadrian snatched his hand from my hold, pushing me away from him with a snarl.

"I Alpha Prince Hadrian Nirmolak, Heir of the Northern Wolf Kingdom, rejects you Deonisia Harlan as my fated mate and Queen."

A crumbling pain rippled through my heart as his words hit me and Alora howled violently in my head, scratching to surface as I fall on my knees, grabbing my head in pain. 

He did it, Prince Hadrian gave me four months of what I had always dreamt of, and he snatched it away from me without a second thought. 

But what did I expect, from someone who never liked me from the beginning, I must be so gullible, like he said. How didn't I see the signs? 

My wolf trashed and howled in my head from the rejected while my heart felt like a force was aiming to rip it out of my chest. 

With shaky breath and a trembling body, I lift myself up on my feet and I faced Hadrian, what more pain can he give.

"I, Deonisia Harlan, a lowlife gullible omega, accept your rejection, my prince. May the moon goddess grant you the chance for a second chance mate."

His face scrunch up in pain and he stared at me, eyes wide open. Did he think I won't have the courage to accept his rejection? Even if the pain would kill me, I would rather the pain, then continue with my side of the bond, still linked to him.

If we are severing our bond, it's better to do it completely. I feel something snap in my heart and I covered my mouth as I coughed. 

Without saying another word, I picked up my last piece of clothing and I throw it on, careful not to let the blood, I coughed onto my hand stain it and I bowed at the prince, before stepping out of his bedroom. 

I guess this is what I deserve for being so foolish.
