Life story of Amara

"I know that you might not like me asking you about these things now but I must. What were you doing behind the bushes?"

Amara who just had food now felt like throwing up but she controlled herself. She knew that these questions were going to be thrown at her.

It would only look weird if nobody asks her what she was doing there. She was expecting this even earlier, right when she met Nicolas.

But he surprised her by not asking them.

She cleared her throat. Her eyes became a little gloomy as if it was lacking liveliness.

Nicolas noticed this as well.

"My mother was a human being who fell in love with my father who belongs to the pack. His mate died before he met her. He started having feelings for her as well and soon I was born. But my mother died after my birth," she took a deep breath, trying to push the tears away.

She never got to meet her mother in that way. She never talked to her. Her mother doesn't know what she looks like, she doesn't even know her name.

She died way before that but still, she could feel a connection with her mother.

It's as if she was there, in her heart.

This entire thing was too sensitive to her but she had to share her story with him. She had to gain his trust.

"I never got to meet her like that. She doesn't even know my name. I was bought into the pack house and my father is the one who took care of me. He loved me as a father loves his child but even after everything, there are some rules that nobody can break. My father was no exception."

Nicolas's breathing became even slower. It seemed as if he was breathing too lightly, just so he could hear whatever she was saying without missing a single word.

"I am a human being. I can't fight like you all. I don't have any special ability either. As a human, I am not allowed in the field to learn how to fight either. I was just a burden they had to carry because I have my father's blood in my veins. The most suitable title for me is omega. That's how I became an omega who had to cook, clean, serve, and get served back with beatings and endless hunger."

By now her eyes were looking lifeless. Anyone looking at her now would think that she was telling a story that wasn't her own.

He couldn't find sadness, hurt, or anger in her eyes. It was blank, as empty as a dark and empty space.

He was not a newbie in this dark world. He knew how rough things can get.

He wasn't unaware of the fact of how omegas are treated less than trash in most of the packs.

Even his own pack members would go as far as to bully the omegas in the past.

But he never thought that his own mate would have to go through something like that.

He has heard stories of people getting killed in the worst way possible. He wasn't a newcomer to the world of killers either.

His own hands have the invisible crimson color that was imprinted by someone else's blood.

Yet he never felt the heartache he was feeling now. There was a dull ache in the middle of his chest.

"But things got worse after my father was killed by someone. He used to be a good person even though he wasn't able to protect his one and only offspring. I don't blame him though, it was in my fate," She said with a bitter smile.

"What happened after he died?" Nicolas asked.

Amara looked directly into his eyes which were turning a golden color.

She could feel that he was getting angry. His wolf wanted to come out and destroy something.

She was satisfied with the reaction she was getting.

"A few pack members tried to sexually assault me but I ran away. They kidnapped me first and kept me in a dark room for days. Do you know what's the funniest thing?"

"What?" Nicolas's tone has changed.

"Nobody noticed that I was gone. Nobody bothered trying to find me, to see whether I was alive or not. I was afraid and hungry and I wanted to be found. I was praying that one person, just one person would think of me and get me out of this hell but nobody came."

Nicolas took her hands in his and only then she noticed that her hands were shaking violently.

She felt a little relieved somehow. She liked how comforting his hands were yet she hated how she was finding comfort in his presence.

"What happened after?"

"They opened the room one day and there were around 3 boys. There were talking about sharing me or something. I was feeling so disgusted under their gaze that I wanted to vomit but my stomach was empty. I somehow ran away from there."

"And you ended up coming here?"

"I wasn't looking where I was going. I was just running and running. The only thing in my head was that I need to protect myself from their hands. I didn't know that I had entered someone else's territory until I noticed that they had stopped running after me."

"You had entered my territory then. If they were about to sexually assault you in my territory and I somehow got to know that then no matter where they are, I was open to finding and giving them punishment according to my wish," Nicolas said looking at the space, his eyes were now looking just like pure gold.

"I know, I heard them talking about this."

"I have a question. They could have transformed into their wolf form to catch you easily. Why they didn't do it?"

"I don't know the answer but I am thankful that they didn't transform. Otherwise, I would have lost myself by now."
