The Omega Mate He Despised

Chapter 1Iris "I swear I didn't take the money," I argued tiredly as the crowd thickened with each passing second. "I'm sure if you search properly you'll find it, or maybe someone else took it," I added in my defense. If I'd known that today would turn out this way with me being accused of being a thief, I would have listened to my instincts and stayed back at home. But then, there was no food in the house, no money, and my lazy sister wasn't keen on doing anything to provide food or other supplies that we had run out of. "It's a lie, you wretched hag!" Giga, my boss, snapped. "You took the money. I purposely left it there to test you and you just showed me that you can't be trusted!" He accused me vehemently. I go by the name Iris, but no one remembers that because I'm an omega without a wolf, and very unattractive as well. Maybe if I'd obliged my boss's wishes and had a good night with him as he demanded, I wouldn't be in the middle of the market, surrounded by little childre

Chapter 3Gradel "Prince Devin?" I chuckled silently in amusement as I fixed my gaze on the bushy path leading to the pack house. She thought I was Prince Devin. It wasn't her fault. Most people her age didn't know I existed since I'd just recently returned to the pack. All thanks to my father who always saw me as the black sheep of the family because I didn't care about being his successor. Devin was more interested in being the Alpha king and that irked my father so much since I was the older twin. Let's say I had more concerns about changing things in the human world and not here until I met this beautiful omega who was in bad shape at the market. I knew that she didn't steal the money, but I didn't want to give her any ideas and that's why I acted like I didn't believe her. The car stopped at the driveway so that I could get down before the chauffeur would park it properly in the garage. Left to me, I'd have stayed longer at the market or gone for a run as my wolf was ge

Chapter 5Iris"I thought I asked you to leave, what are you still doing here?" He thundered as whispers and gasps from the crowd filled the hall, displaying their confusion. His smooth voice wasn't the cause of my confusion, his face was. How could I explain what I felt? What I saw yesterday?My mind was a jumbled zone, so I said the only thing that kept ringing in my head. "Your eyes. They… they are different," I forced out, my fingers itching to pinch my skin to be sure that I wasn't dreaming. He scowled, furrowing his brows in irritation. "That shouldn't bother you, lady. Do I have to remind you that I'm not supposed to ever set my eyes on you?" His voice deepened by the minute, and the noise that had thickened because of the prince's rejection died down.My hands fell to my side. "You aren't Prince Devin, are you?"I knew that my probing was of no use to me, if anything, it would only make the man standing in front of me angrier; but I was already in trouble so it would be bett

Chapter 7Iris My eyes flashed open with my breaths bursting in and out heavily. I shrank backward with fear pounding hard in my chest. My body felt clammy and then I noticed that I was drenched with a cold liquid—water. How that happened I didn't know. A scary-looking guard strolled in, his gait intimidating. "You're not going to sleep all day, lady." "I'm sorry," I muttered, wondering why he came to visit then I heard light footsteps behind him. That couldn't be a man's step, I thought. May approached me, clutching onto the skirt of the dress she wore to the mating ceremony earlier. "Hi," She waved at me, keeping a long distance. I wanted to ask her why she couldn't come closer, but I already knew the answer. I was filthy and probably stank worse than a crate of rotten eggs. "You're here," I acknowledged quietly. I didn't want anyone around, not even my sister. Ever since the bracelet went missing, my ability to trust people wilted. "I'm sorry that you're in this condi

Chapter 9Gradel "You will do no such thing, Gradel. You have to stay here and fulfill your duties!" He hollered. "And what if I don't, Alpha Cronus?" I retorted sharply, my breathing coming in hitches. I was tired of his overbearing attitude and he should be happy that I hadn't given orders to the servants to prepare for my trip. The shock on his face switched to a death scowl. It was his signature expression that made his subordinates do his bidding without thinking twice, but it barely moved me, that was why he liked me. "Gradel," He began calmly, "I know that after all these years you haven't forgiven me for what happened in the past, but can't you keep your grudges aside for the sake of this pack?" We had already met face to face and his hands were on my shoulder, gripping me strongly. The respect I had for him was what stopped me from shrugging his hands off. I was about to respond when Devin let out a chuckle, clapping his hands as his chuckle metamorphosed into laughter.
