All Chapters of Omega's Curse: Desired by the beast who shouldn't want me : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Hermosa pov"I wonder who's at the door." The trembling in Lucy's voice was noticeable as she stood up to open it."Don't open it if you don't want to," I told her, watching her shaky steps and faltering courage.The knock came again for the third time. I wondered who had the guts to be banging on the king's door like it was theirs. I was a bit worried for Lucy.If there was someone out there bigger than her, she might probably get bullied or beaten to death while I remained chained.I muttered curses at Ragal for keeping me here and leaving Lucy and me defenseless. Nobody was to be trusted around here."Hello, young lady." I heard a voice say from behind the door after she opened it.My heart calmed down a bit. At least the voice didn't seem harmful — for now, she was safe.I saw her stretch her hands through the door and wondered what she was doing.A syringe poked through her skin, taking out blood and filing it away in a vial."What's happening over there, Lucy?" I asked, stretchi

Hermosa Their hands and bodies clung desperately to one another.I face away, feeling the wave of jealousy hit me deep in my chest. It was scorching me whole.I hadn't known that I had feelings up until now."Thank God he didn't pick that Omega," I heard the crowd say, even though I was right there."Good riddance. Omegas are lowly slaves; they belong to the farms, not in throne rooms." Another one joined him.I held my breath through all the silent curses hurled at me. If I don't look up, maybe they would stop the insults.From being placed in throne rooms to being reduced to nothing."I hereby declare the beginning of the Luna's tournament. Let the best she-wolf win.""Thank you, my king," I heard her say softly, hugging Ragal like crazy.He pulled back a bit in discomfort, his eyes returning back to the crowd and landing on mine. "Prepare for the tournament."It was almost as if he was trying to communicate with me before someone interrupted him."Even Omegas?" someone chipped in,

Hermosa How did she follow me here in the dead of night??Did she know I was coming, or was it the smell of my blood? The questions poured through my mind as the young girl stared at me like I was dinner.Her wrinkled, veiny fingers clutched the bar greedily, as if it held the answers to what she wanted.Me!Grrr...Grrr...Grrr...Her guttural voice boomed softly at me, as if trying to communicate."You want my blood?"She hit the bar in agreement. I didn't want to think about what might happen if there were no bar separating us.Her slick teeth might grab my neck and feed off my blood without hesitation.And with the way her eyes were fixated on me, I might not last long if she decided to do that.Ragal had calmly talked to them at the hospital. Maybe I could get through to her, too.She looked very young, with nice dark hair and oval eyes that held no emotion in them—only hunger.A hunger I knew all too well: "survival." Her hands slammed against the bar, making me jump in fright

Hermosa Their heads down in shame, like being here was a crime itself, and I felt really bad.Nobody should be treated like this. I held the arm of my seat to stand up and tell them to quit standing and mope."You will attract attention." Lucy held my wrist. "It won't change anything."They shouldn't be standing there like dejected people; they are still made of flesh and blood."I understand, but you going there means nothing." Her tone carried a sense of resignation to them. "The other Alphas and she-wolves will boo at you, but not at a queen," she adds.It took a lot more coaxing from inside for me to settle back on my chair. Somehow I felt a sense of duty to fix this, just like to my best friend.I wonder what's going on with her treatment. I was only allowed there once, and not anymore, because according to Ragal, "I wasn't safe."Still, he could have followed me to the hospital to see her. The look on his face the day I had mentioned it after the trial, when he was the one that

Hermosa The winner is…… He gave a sharp inhale, allowing the anticipation to flow through the crowd.He moved his glasses across his face, building the tension around the hall. My emotions were pent up, and I was practically biting my lips."Hey, this is not the end of the world." I felt a soothing hand on mine.I ignored it. I knew this meant a whole lot to her, more than she was willing to say.I looked at the presenter's face, and it wasn't hiding any bit of his emotions. I already knew who the winner was.My heart ached, watching his lips move together. "Princess of the Blackburn pack, Violet."The crowd burst into big applause. I tasted my blood. I had bitten too hard.A virtual billboard was displayed on the wall. Princess won with 11 points, me with 9, and the stranger with 6 points total from this round.I frowned. I had only lost because of the slip-off during the noble walk, because she caused it."Cheer up, Hermosa." Lucy tried to make me feel better, but there was nothing
