Who will be her Mate?

Episode 8 : In the room

It's been almost half an hour since canis and Erica disappear to his bedroom.

I would hate to think about what they might be doing. I tried to focus on the beauty of the living room but that do not help me at all.

Slowly I stood up from where I sat on dejectedly and headed out but the omegas that has accompanied Erica stood in my way.

I look up at them in confusion. If they are trying to hold me hostage I won't stay still.

I'm not a prisoner anymore. King Alaric has released me. It's high time I should start standing on my own two feet. Vamp could help me if Canis won't.

" Move aside " I said firmly, ready to start ruckus " you both are standing In my way "

" Because we have to " one of them said softly and I c****d up an eyebrow at her. " I know you Azure. Your mother was killed by king Alaric "

Immediately my heart dropped to my stomach. I look up at the ladies and I saw them shared a look.

One of them reached out to touch my arm and I shivers to her firm contact.

" We Omegas have been living like this Azure. Like a slave under King Alaric's rule. We do not have hope nor do we have an Alpha to stand up for us. Why don't we team up and have our revenge? "

At this request I couldn't help but Shivers in astonishment. The two ladies before me are omegas and we all have the same mindset.

Now we began to speak in a hush tone. afraid that anyone would heard us out.

" How do you mean ? Even if king Alaric died there will be no Alpha to succeed us " I said but the other reply me.

She has a long black hair that stop at her waist.

" Prince Canis is the most powerful and kindest man. He is fit for that throne. If only he could be our king, our Alpha, no omega would die or be enslaved "

Slowly I flopped on the couch. My jaw setting. Strangely I could see the light at the end of the dark tunnel.

She is right, they are both right. If only Canis could be king.

He is the kindest man of them all. Also Vamp but vamp can't rule the werewolves for he is a Vampire. That origin of him disqualify him before any effort.

" How can I do this? We can't just kill a king and go away with it " I never know when I start breathing hard as though the knife is already in my grip.

" Karen what do you suggest? " The lady with long dark hair asked the other. " How do you think we can achieve this? Every Omegas fate now lies on our shoulder "

I flopped my jaw at this but I soon gulped down hard. Now I lean back and think everything throughly.

My mother has been killed cruelly. My dad died as a slave.

Every omegas born will be maids and slaves. Nothing like being a leader or free. The shackles of slavery around our ankles are even before we were born.

I think about the new words. I picture of in my imagination. Where canis will be crown the king and alpha and he will sit on the top seat.

A smile appears on my face at this but was soon squashed when the image of Erica appears, seating beside Canis and threatening him like she had done earlier.

Strange anger and jealousy seep through me and I turn to Karen.

" What do you suggest Karen? "

"I suggest you get married to the king. Once you did you will be made his concubine. When he invited you into his room at night for mating we will be at your corner. It will be a painless death and an untraceable one. King Alaric will only sleep but won't wake up "

Married? I heard this and shudder. I hate the thought of getting married to a man who had inflicted on all Omegas but to take him down I'm willing to go extra mile.

Now that I know he had causes my mum's death, I vow not to forgive him.

I was about to ask Karen and the other which I didn't know her name another question but then Erica show up.

I saw her dress slightly wrinkles and she was adjusting it as she make her way to the living room.

Immediately jealousy burns deep in my vein but I managed to gulp it down. It's high time I accepted Erica as canis's mate.

" You should prepare for the wedding omega. I will be at your corner making sure it happens" Erica said harshly ay me.

She grinned Evilly before heading outside. Karen sent me a signal which I couldn't understand but I guess I will catch up later on.

Now I sat down to think about everything truly. King Alaric has murdered my mother? But why?

I thought...he love her?

' Love her my foot. She is an Omega Azure. Don't be stupid. Who would fall in love with an Omega? Someone who is nothing but a slave '

My inner thoughts said and my shoulder sagged.

I am stupid to think a whole king Alaric would love my mother. She isn't even a beautiful woman.

Now the thought of how terrified my mother would have been when her heart was plucked out crossed my mind, filling my eyes with tears.

' King Alaric kill mother. I shouldn't have let you go mum. I caused your death but I promise to avenge you. I will kill that b***h evil man of a king and feed his body to the vultures '

" You won't do that " The pleasant voice of Canis Interrupted my thoughts and I nearly jumped up from the couch.

I whirled around to stare up at him in awe. Surely I haven't speak out loud.

' Can he read thoughts too? '

" Whatever Vamp Lamia can do, Canis Lupus can do better " He said before settling besides me. " I can read thoughts. I can fight better than anyone and I can... Heal with my blood "

Another shock information that compelled me to stop breathing for some seconds.

" Really? What...wh..at about vamp? Can he do all this things? " I asked after finding my voice.

" Yes. Uh ... Vamp and I grow together you know. Under the king's strict rules and regulations we have to train and Master all skills "

" Oh " I look away with a sigh. " I never know you can read thoughts. It's beautiful but also unsettling. No privacy you know "

Canis didn't reply with words. Instead he reached out to place his palm on my own. His warmth seeping through me.

I look up at his beautiful face. Our eyes locked and lust began to swirl around us once more.

" My dad didn't kill your mother azure "

" What? " I was in awe. " You overheard the other ladies's conversation with me ? "

" Definitely. You are under my roof. Nothing go unnoticed. I don't mean to eavesdrop though "

" But you did "

" Because it's about my dad. I know all omegas hate him to the core. Believe me sometime I do too but that man on the throne is the King. No one should kill him. Eventually he will.grow wane and die. Let nature take him away. I promise to be good if I take the throne later or whether it's vamp I believe he will be a great king too "

I don't know why but tears immediately formed in my eyes at canis's words. When he saw my state he only give my palm a soft squeeze.

" When I carried your mother off I saw the claws on her. It... it does Belongs to my father. My dad isn't the murderer Azure. Don't hate him too much. For me, will you stop having a dark thought about him please? "

I look into his Hazel eyes and I understood instantly what he is doing.

" You won't forgive me if I do kill your dad? "

" After my mother had died I have been broken azure but earlier today after meeting you under the rain pour Azure, I have felt strange and whole again. I don't know but being with you makes me feel better. I would hate s situation where I won't have any choice but to hate you "

Hate. The word from Canis makes me Shivers a little. He is right. There will be no way a man will kill my parents and I will still befriend him.

Slowly I close the space between us and wrapped my hand around his neck. Emotionally drained, physically tired and mentally exhausted.

I lean over to canis and he accepted me in his arms. Without words I closed my eyes.

***

The nightmare occurs and it's so vivid. I could see the throne Empty. People dying and getting trample on.

The kingdom of werewolves in despair. Canis soon appeared from crowd.

He has a smile on his face and he is consoling all the people. He headed towards the vacant throne to sit on it.

Everyone couldn't stop hailing him as he make it way but then vampires from different angles evaded the wolves.

They have their fang on everyone's neck. Betas, Lunas, omegas, rogues, and gammas all were taken down by this vampires.

After everyone died the leader of the vampire arrived. His face was revealed and I see him. Vamp Lamia.

This nightmare came to an end after this and I immediately jerk up while screaming out.

In a jiffy I saw the door opens and Canis walks in swiftly. He sat down beside me and held my hand.

I stop screaming at that moment to look around. That was when I realized I am in a room. Comfy and accommodating.

" It's just a dream " I heard Canis whispers as he held unto my hand. I didn't answer him though. I could only stare at him.

Now the nightmare replaying in my memory. I bite my lower lips to stifled a sob. Does that nightmare mean something important?

' Is vamp a threat? Will he arrive to wipe all werewolves? ' All this I thought, lost. I forgot completely that canis before me could read thoughts.

When he Lean over to place a kiss at the nape of my neck I shivers.

" What are you thinking about? " He asked and I was confused.

" I thought you could read it. "

" Not without your permission anymore. Is everything okay? You are scared "

To this I quickly look away. It will be bad to start speaking nonsense. I reminded myself that I do not know the two princes too much.

Thanks to my pitiful situation I could sleep under the same roof with Canis Lupus.

" Do you believe in Vamp? Will you trust him with the throne if there is a need for it? " I have asked this question before I could stop myself.

The words just spill from my lips before I could take it back. Swiftly I avoided canis's gaze.

" Vamp is...he is my brother. Even though we both hate each other, The fact that he is capable of being a king too shouldn't be overlook. He is a good man , too "

He trust him. I love that. A smile appears on my face as I think about the Vampire prince.

I must have gone crazy fir thinking such negatively about vamp. That man accepted me into the castle on my first day.

I turn to canis as well. The memories of how he had cuddle me under the rain clouded my thoughts.

" What will become of me canis? I.. I don't want to marry the king "

" You should stay in the castle instead "

" I can't be your dad's concubine canis "

" But you can be a maid. Here you will be well fed "

" Well fed ? " I repeated coldly. " I am well fed at home as well. I only wish to return home and..."

" So any man can stop at your doorstep and mate with you? " He interrupted angrily and I was short of words. " You should stay here and be a maid instead "

I open my lips to speak but no word comes out. I saw the eyes. I saw the expression in them. It's of jealousy.

Now I'm confused. Does Canis love me?

This thought makes me shivers. I immediately laid down on the bed and draped over my body with the bed coverlet.

" Good night " I mutters weakly but he didn't reply. He only stood up from the bed and walks out.

Seconds later i overheard his door shutting. My heart dropping at it. Noe after he left i began to feel so lonely.

My eyes wouldn't close anymore so I stay awake till dawn, eavesdropping on Canis's breath and the howling from the distance.
