Wolfless Omega

AMELIA

Do you know how it feels to have your life grind to a halt right before your eyes? That was exactly how I felt after coming back from a long shift at the diner to meet my Fiancé balls deep inside a strange woman.

“Fuck me, Nathan!” The unmistakable shrill voice echoed through the entire hallway.

I stood outside the door, frozen for what felt like an eternity. My heart pounded erratically in my chest, and I forced my breathing to calm. But even as I forced myself to breathe, my body refused to cooperate.

Was this some kind of dream?

My bag clattered to the floor as I pushed the door open. There—on the same bed we had shared for the past five years—was Nathan, my Fiancé, thrusting into a blonde lady like a madman. My position at the door made me see everything: the way his cock slid into her, the way her head was tilted back while she moaned like a slut, and Nathan’s back turned to me.

What was worse? They didn’t even acknowledge me. Nathan never touched me like this, so loving and intense. Never. He was always so quick to cum and push me to the side like some used toy.

My heart almost gave out. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks.

“Nathan!” I screamed at the top of my voice, and he finally turned.

His dark eyes were murderous as he glared at me. “Amelia, why are you screaming down the house?” He turned around and continued thrusting, grunting louder than before. “At least, let me fucking finish!”

I gasped, the shock making me stumble back. My legs hurt from my shift at the diner, but I didn’t even mind anymore. My feet were rooted to the floor while I watched him climax. When he finished, he kissed the stranger softly, then pulled out of her and grabbed the towel by the bed.

“Nathan…” The tears wouldn’t stop falling. “I do everything you ask. I pay the rent, stock up on groceries and—“

He led the strange lady to the bathroom, stopping at the entrance to look at me. “I have a new and better place, Amelia. I’ve packed already and will be leaving after I’m done here. You’re useless to me. I’m tired of staying with a wolfless Omega who can’t even get a decent job.”

My fist flew to my mouth as I turned around and ran out of the room. When I got outside, I realized that my car keys were in my bag that I dropped, so I went back for it. They were both in the bathroom now, and I could hear the giggles and soft kissing.

By the time I got behind the wheel of my barely-functioning car, the tears erupted. Nathan had always said that he loved me like that, despite me not having a wolf. He… he loved me, or so I thought.

I used to work in one of the best hospitals here in Fairmont, but after refusing a sexual advance from my boss, I was framed and fired. By the time I took my resume around all the other hospitals in the city, I realized that my name had been blacklisted. I couldn’t practice as a nurse or physical therapist anywhere.

That was the main reason I ended up doing long shifts at the diner. And now… my whole world was crumbling.

I drove aimlessly through the streets, wiping my eyes repeatedly to clear my vision. More than twice, I almost had an accident. Eventually, I pulled up by the roadside and called Maya. When I started to work at the diner some years back, we instantly clicked and soon became best friends.

“Maya,” I croaked. “Are you still on your shift?”

I could almost picture the frown on her face. “Yes, I am. Are you crying? What’s wrong, Amelia?”

“Nathan,” I sobbed loudly. “I met him fucking another girl. He…” I swallowed thickly, trying to calm myself. “He said he can’t be with an Omega with no wolf. Maya… he called me useless.”

On the other end, Maya gasped. “Good goddess! Amelia, come down here immediately. Just leave that house for now.”

“I’m coming already.”

I wiped my eyes and pressed hard on the accelerator. The moment I got out of the car, I went straight to the back where I knew Amelia would be. She welcomed me into her arms immediately, patting my back softly.

“Shh, it’s okay. I’ve always known that he was no good. You’re not useless, Amelia.”

I stayed in her arms until my arms stopped trembling. Then I pulled back and wiped my eyes.

“He said he’s packing out,” I whispered, sniffing hard. “He said he’s leaving the house.”

Maya’s hazel eyes blazed. “He better leave! You don't need him at all.”

I managed a small laugh, but it sounded bitter. “I didn’t even know what to say or do. I called you after driving out of the house. I guess I’ll work your night shift with you.”

“You need to just relax for a while. You shouldn’t work now.”

I was still in my uniform. I hadn’t taken it off before what happened, so it was only fair that I continued with work.

“I don’t think I can sit still, Maya. I feel like I need to be on my feet to get my mind off this evening.”

“I understand, Amelia. But—” She motioned to the small bed behind her. “—maybe you should lie there and rest for a while. Let me serve some customers.” As she turned to go, she suddenly looked back. “Did you apply for the physical therapist position for the Dark Wolves?”

I almost sighed. Maya always did this thing where she pushed me to apply for vacant positions around Fairmont, and every time I did, I got a negative result.

Just last week, I applied for a nursing home caregiver position after they announced a shortage of staff. Despite that, I was rejected. Before that, it was a nutritionist position in an under-fifteen soccer club.

My skills covered basic nursing, physical therapy, and a vast knowledge of nutrition—which should have landed me the job—but even that didn’t help.

The last one was the vacant physical therapist position for the Dark Wolves, one of the best hockey teams in Fairmont. There was no fucking way I would even land something like that. Not in a million years.

When Maya had told me to apply after seeing it on her phone, I knew that it was a lost cause. But I had applied anyway.

“Hello?”

I blinked back to the present, sighing heavily. “Yes, Maya, I applied.”

“Good. Give me some minutes to attend to these dickheads. I’ll be back.”

I settled on the bed, thinking of closing my eyes for a moment, when my phone suddenly began to ring. I dragged it out of my pocket, my heart hammering in my chest as I thought of Nathan.

Did he want to apologize?

But when I looked at the screen, it was a strange number. I picked anyway.

“Hello, is this Amelia Rhodes?”

I sat up frowning. “Yes, this is Amelia.”

“Oh, good. You’ve been selected as the new physical therapist of the Dark Wolves.”
