Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I had already managed to get the view of my Cruel Ex-boyfriend Lucas, before Alex blocked me behind his back. The familiar voice behind us had already re awakened the pains I had been enduring over the past one month under his hands and his mate Kiran. “Lucas!” I shouted at him in disbelief. I was sure that I have already drained myself the little energy that was remaining and thus nothing else could come from my wicked mouth. I turned back and confirmed that I was not wrong to mistaken his voice with any other person’s voice. Indeed it was him walking towards us. At this point, I had gone through a lot of pain and I didn’t see anything worse to fear from Lucas. Together with his heartless mate Kiran, they had subjected me to enough torture and ended up selling me to this Auctioneer. That was the second last worst thing that I believed could happen to an innocent Omega girl like me. The last was now to kill me, which I believed they were capable of. I regained my energy and shouted at him fearlessly, “Have you now come to finish what is remaining on me? Or…” before I could finish, Alex pushed me behind him to block his view of me. 

I cooled down and waited for the worst to happen. Alpha Lucas excused himself to King Alex begging to take me back. “Wait! …When did my ears start lying to me? Did I hear him call me his mate?” I sighed. “Or is it a set-up from Kiran to take me back and kill me?” I lot of thoughts ran through my already exhausted mind. I decided to stop thinking since all these thoughts added on to more pains reminding me about the betrayal from the two close people I have had in my life, Lucas, my former mate and Kiran, my best friend. But how possible was it to voluntarily switch off someone’s mind? Obviously it wasn’t so I let my mind to hover around. But little to worry about, I knew that King Alex would protect me from Lucas at that moment. Though I was also worried since I knew that I would soon be turned into the next slave in the Lycan’s Kingdom. In a nutshell, my life was already a mess and I had no hope of enjoying my freedom again like the rest of the human beings. I just stood behind Alex and waited for the battle between the Alpha of the pack and the Lycan King over this horrible Omega girl. However, at the back of my mind, I didn’t see the reason why anyone would fight for me to become their mate. My heart had been so broken to be anyone’s fated mate. None of the two deserved to have me as their mates; for Lucas, after the betrayal and countless tortures, the love I had for him had already died. Additionally, he had humiliated me in front of Kiran making me believe that I have been cursed by the moon goddess. On the other hand, I didn’t believe on Alex’s words, calling me his mate. 

Alex is known as the most ruthless Lycan king ever. Calling me his mate seemed just a mockery to me and thus I knew I would be subjected to probably even more severe pains under his hands. Being an Omega, I knew it would be even worse for me. But did that mean I go back to the heartless Lucas who betrayed me with my best friend Kiran? Not now not ever in my life. I would choose to be subjected to pain by a stranger than suffering torture and humiliation in the hand of the person whom was ever my mate and promised to protect me whatsoever but later turning to betray me. “Everly, Alex can never be your fated mate. You are only going to be reduced to a slave like any other in his Kingdom. You have already heard more about his ruthless character, haven’t you?” Lucas tried to be a bit calm this time round, hoping to win me back. The last time I heard Lucas talk to me in such a manner was before he was crowned as an Alpha, and before I could catch him cheated on me with my friend. Ever since, any conversation between me and him have been characterized with abusive words and mockery from him and as on my side trying to humbly respond to him in attempts to avoid more torture from either him or his mate. He had drastically changed and stopped being sensitive with my emotions. Being calm and trying to win me back this time round was a surprise to me. However, his efforts bore no fruits. My love for him was already dead. Nothing he could do make me feel attracted again to him, not even his new position as the Alpha of the pack could soothe my heart again. I had loved and believed foolishly in him even before he could assume that position. But what did I get in return? Betrayal and up to this minute I have not succeeded in getting enough reason for such cruel treatment from the person I loved and trusted the most. “Has Kiran stopped loving you?” I asked sarcastically, obviously knowing that Kiran has never loved Lucas. Only that she loved his position as an Alpha as well as attempting to ruin my love with Lucas. “You both have a baby together, Lucas! You should focus your mate and baby and stop chasing at this useless Omega! “I added as I squeezed my face beside Alex to get a clear view of Lucas’ face, knowing that I had nothing to lose. Those times of bowing before him and begging to avoid punishments were already gone. We can never be together again after all, so there is nothing to campaign for by trying to be sweet to him. My worries now should be on how to survive in my new environment as a slave under the hands of this ruthless Lycan king. Alex sighed, held my hand gently and pulled me to walk out of the auctioneer’s room. I tried not to, but I found myself looking back at Lucas as we walked away. Our eyes meet and I could read a revenge over the Lycan king being portrayed all over his face. He stood still and watched as we moved out of the room.
