CHAPTER ONE

JAMIE'S POV

I was already late for school as Roman kept yelling my name to come down. I rushed downstairs kissed my mom morning as I grabbed some toasts.

"Grab some for Roman"

"Already did" I waved "Bye"

I approached my childhood friend, Roman and I got into his ferrari and handed him his toast.

"Oh my God, why were you so late?, dollying up for someone?" he ruffles my hair as I smacked his hand away.

"I woke up late" I adjusted my hair "Actually I am going on a date with someone, so you don't need to wait for me later today"

"Who?"

"Damian"

"Damian? who's that? And why are you just telling me now?" He said with his mouth full.

"Don't choke and this is exactly why I didn't want to tell you until the last minute, you cannot be looking into every guy that asks me out"

He sighs as he starts his car and headed to college "I can and will, your elder brother told me to look after you"

"Well, I am much obliged but I can take care of myself"

"Come on Jamie, I know guys like this"

"Because you're one?..." he looked at me and we both laugh.

"Exactly" He said while laughing

"I miss Evan" I said "I still can't believe he left"

"I don't blame him, i mean your father was gonna make him marry some girl"

I sigh "I believe he could have worked something out, instead of just leaving, I am honestly worried about him"

He looked at me for a brief second before looking back to the road "Don't bother, your brother won't die that easily, I've tried" I chuckled

"You're ridiculous"

"He's very capable of taking care of himself"

"And I'm not?"

"You're too nice and trusting"

"I am not!!"

I suddenly started to feel uneasy and suffocating "Are you okay?" Roman asked

"Yeah, probably just tired"

"Want me to take you to the hospital?'

"No, I bet it's nothing serious"

He reluctantly nodded "My brother came back yesterday "

"Brother as in kieran?"

He nodded "yeah,who else?, I only have one brother, he came back yesterday to start working in the company"

I just nodded, I can not believe kieran is back, I still remember the night before he left for business school, his family threw a huge party and we were invited obviously and then...

I can't face him, what if we cross path, that is even dreadful to even think about.

"Jamie-" I looked at him "I have being calling you for a while now, you sure you're okay?"

"Definitely" I exhaled

We finally reached college as we were about to enter, Damian approached me "See you at the front gate at five" he winked and left

I smiled as I looked over at Roman and met an incredulous look over his face, that i could not help but laugh "what's with the face?"

"Oh my God, that's the dude you're going out with?" He looked back at Damian once again "hell nah, you deserve better, he is not even an alpha"

"And?, he's a beta so am I"

"How will he protect you, Jamie?"

I rolled my eyes as I started to walk away from him "Roman, I will tell you again I can take care of myself" I started to walk to my class ignoring whatever else he has to say "Bye, see you tomorrow"

In class, I began to feel drowsy and very uneasy "Hey mate, you feeling alright?" My seatmate asked

I nodded "yeah, just a bit drowsy"

My seatmate looked at me for a second and pulled out some pills and handed it over to me, before I could reject it he said "i know and I understand i am an omega too, use this, they are just painkiller"

What the hell is he even saying?

What does he mean by omega?

Since it was just painkiller, I guess it was fine. I thanked him and took some painkillers and it did help 'cause after a while I felt better "Thanks mate"

"My pleasure..."

Class continued and at four-thirty I was heading to the class gate and surprisingly I met Damian there "I thought we agreed five"

He smiled " I couldn't wait" i smiled as I entered his Audi and he took me to a fancy restaurant

"This is nice..."

A waitress approached our table "what would you like?"

"Chicken and mushroom pie with mashed potatoes and vegetables, beautiful" he ordered for the both us without asking my opinion and had the nerve to wink at her.

I can't say I'm not annoyed at him for not bothering to ask for my opinion and literally flirting with someone else on our first date but I decided to stay quiet.

Later while eating "Tell me about you..." he asked

"Uhmm..." I cleared my throat "I am the youngest, i have an elder brother, I love to read novels and watch documentaries and-"

"What about that Wolfe?" He asked interrupting and dismissing whatever I was saying earlier.

So that was what he wanted to know "you mean Roman?, just a friend"

"A friend, really? Rumour has it that you guys are..."

I interrupted "I believe you did not ask me to dinner to ask about some meaningless rumours "

"No darling, once you become my boyfriend I don't want you to associate with that Wolfe"

I was getting super annoyed fast "once? Not even if I end up your boyfriend?"

"Ofcourse we are gonna be boyfriends soon, we are a perfect fit"

"And who decided that?" I snapped

"I shouldn't have said that, I am sorry" he apologised and even though my gut is telling me to leave this second, I decided to give him a second chance.

What happened to the sweet and charming Damian I met, it's like he has turned to someone else.

The date continued and Damian kept talking about himself and himself "My parents would not believe I am dating the Bennett's youngest son"

"I don't believe I have ever agree to that" I started to regret this entire date and even agreeing to it in the first place, maybe I should have listened to Roman.

"Come on, you should be lucky, no one really wants a Beta"

That just pissed me off

"I should head home" I stood up.

He stood up immediately after "I didn't mean it like that..." he looked defeated when i did not budge "lemme at least drop you"

"Don't bother, I shall call someone to pick me up"

"It would be very unchivalrous of me not to take you home" Like he was ever chivalrous in the first place.

"At least let me walk you out" I hesitantly agreed

On his way to his Audi, I started to fill uneasy like earlier, even worse now that I stumbled and I would have fell if it wasn't for Damian's grasp.

"You okay, Jamie?"

I could not speak, my heart was beating faster as Damian took me to a bench where I sat to calm down and he handed me a bottle of water.

I gulped almost half of it as I breathe loudly as It got only worse that I eventually passed out.

My eyes blurred as I try to keep it open and I saw some people beating up some dude and a figure approached me. Before I could understand what was going on, I passed out again.
