CHAPTER THREE

JAMIE'S POV

The next morning, I woke to the faint warmth of sunlight spilling through the curtains.

For a moment, I didn't remember where he was.

Then everything from the night before came rushing back.

The doctor

The uneasiness

The date

Kieran finding me

I slowly sat up, I looked down and realized I was still wearing the oversized shirt I'd borrowed from Kieran.

I had wore it without thinking the night before.

Now, in the morning light, it suddenly felt like a very bad idea.

I tugged the hem down

"Great" I muttered under his breath "Just great" I groaned

Before I could even have a second thought, a maid came in with a tray "I am not hung-"

Kieran was right behind her "You need to eat, you must be starving, you barely ate anything last night"

I nodded avoiding eye contact as I remembered the scene of my dream, as the maid served my breakfast and put it on the table near me and left.

"You need to freshen up and eat, your parents are downstairs and the doctor would soon arrive"

I nodded and finally looked at me to realize he was not even looking at me in the first place "Have you told any of this to Evan?"

He finally looked at me "i haven't-" he looked down as his eyes dropped to the shirt.

That's when I realised I was still in his freaking shirt, I am so stupid, why did i wear it in the first place?

I could feel my face heat "I-" I glanced down "My clothes were uncomfortable"

Kieran raised an eyebrow "So you decided to steal mine?"

"I didn't steal it" I paused

"You’re wearing it"

"I borrowed it"

His lips twitched "Without asking?"

I looked away, suddenly very aware of how oversized the shirt was on me. Not too huge, I might say perfectly oversized on me.

Kieran noticed too.

His expression softened for just a moment and he cleared his throat "Don't worry, I have not informed Evan, at least not until the doctor comes and inform us what is wrong"

Then, he stood up heading to the door and without looking back, he added "You can keep it"

I stared after him "...Seriously?"

"Unless you plan on giving it back"

I looked down at the shirt again as he left.

I sigh as I went to freshen up and brush my teeth with a brand new toothbrush I found as I went back in the room feeling well- refreshed, Roman was there eating some of my breakfast.

"What the hell?"

He smiled cheekily at me "how are you feeling?"

"Why are you eating my breakfast?" I chuckled "Stop eating..."

He stopped eating "I'm sorry" he said while chewing the food in his mouth "Kieran told me you don't have clothes so I came to drop some clothes off for you, then I saw your breakfast"

"Don't you have yours?"

"Your parents are here and my mom said i couldn't eat until the guests eat, but our fathers are busy yapping about some business"

"Oh my..." I laughed

"Sorry I ate your meal, I stole a sick's person meal" he started his dramatics.

I chuckled "It's okay, I don't have much of an appetite, eat more"

I got dressed as I ate some of the food .

"You know what?, if you continue to eat like that you will become skinny"

"What the...I will not become skinny" I grumbled as I took my pills.

"So, how are you really feeling?" He asked in a serious tone.

"Well..." I took a second "I don't know"

A maid knocked on the door and informed us "The doctor is here"

Roman and I looked at each other "it's probably just a fever" I said not just to reassure Roman but to also reassure me.

"I hope so..."

We went downstairs together, I greeted them.

"Oh my baby..." my mom hugged me "how are you feeling my synochek" she said with her Russian accent.

I sat next to her, as I looked over and saw Kieran at the end of the room sitting with that bored look on his face "Thank you for taking care of me yesterday" I said to no one in particular.

"It's no bother, you're family, Jamie" Kieran's mom , Marilyn said.

The doctor cleared his throat "After examining his symptoms and the blood test, the result shows that Young Master Bennett is undergoing a rare secondary-gender transition"

Everyone stayed quiet for a while, the silence was filled with confusion "I am sorry but what does that mean?, it sounds quite serious" my mom asked

"It means he is transitioning to being an omega"

The word seemed to echo around the room

"Impossible" I said "I can't be an omega"

I let out an humorless laugh "No, You got it wrong, there must have being some mistake"

"Mr. Bennett-"

"You said I'm transitioning into an Omega?" My voice cracked

The doctor nodded slowly "Your hormone levels, your pheromone changes, and the results from your blood all indicate that your secondary gender is beginning to develop and we did the tests five times to confirm and it gave the same result again and again"

"I look nothing like an omega so there's definitely a mistake" I looked nothing like the Omegas I'd grown up seeing, the omegas in magazines with slender waists, delicate features, soft skin, pretty faces. They looked like they belonged in someone's arms, like they could be swept off their feet without any effort.

While I have strong shoulders, sharp features and a body that had never looked delicate.

I looked like a Beta

I am a Beta

The doctor frowned "Mr. Bennett,secondary genders don't have a specific-"

"I don't look like one" the words came out sharper than I intended.

My fingers curled into fists "I'm not some delicate Omega, you've made a mistake"

"We haven't"

"You have"

My voice rose "Run the test again"

"We already did"

"Then run it again"

"Jamie-" my mom said sternly

Silence filled the room.

I looked up and saw everyone was staring at me even Kieran and i hated the looks like something had changed in me.

Like I was different.

Like I had suddenly become someone else.

I looked down at my hands, they were still my hands.

My body was still my body so how could it possibly be true?

The doctor gently placed the test results on the table "Being an Omega doesn't mean you suddenly stop being yourself"

I had spent all my life believing i was a beta only for my own body to betray everything I thought I knew about myself.

I refused to accept no matter how many times the doctor repeated the results.

"Let's all calm down..." Marilyn said

"You made quite the scene, James" my father said sternly

"Ofcourse, I will make a scene, I have just being told I am not who i think I was"

"James, do not forget your manner, we are guests here"

"Forget it..." I snapped as I went back upstairs.
