Fleur carried the basket of dirty clothes on her waist. It was a little heavy for her. Her braided hair dangling as she walked heavily into the forest. She was trying hard not to trip over a some roots and fall face first. She looked up at the sky and noticed how the sky is turning into the soft shade of orange and pink. It’s already time for sunset. Sunset were her favorite. Right now she would love to sir somewhere with a glass of lemonade and enjoy the view in front of her. Maybe one day she will enjoy sunset with her mate. She soon as the thought came over her mind , she stopped herself from thinking any further.
She grimaced as she thought about how she wasted the entire day. She didn’t do much today and she hated it when her day was not productive enough. First she had a mental breakdown about how unlucky she is and cried over Rosie’s shoulder who held her close to her chest , letting her cry to all her heart’s content. Rosiewould scold her for being insecure over her flaw because according to Rosie Fleur was perfect the way she was.
After crying for hours she was so exhausted after her crying session that she fell asleep and woke up when it was already too late. She hadn’t done any laundry for two days and she just can’t pile up anymore.
Washing is something that Fleur is not much fan of but it was her duty because according to her mother everyone is their house should do a certain things. So it was her duty to wash the clothes by the side of the lake and usually her encounter with wolves of the pack around this area is not very pleasant. They are not particularly kind to her anyway.
Most Alphas tend to hide behind the tree or somewhere and once they see an Omega, they often teased them and if things goes out of control then worst scenario is possible. Young Alphas and betas sometimes watch omegas while they are bathing in the lake and they won’t budge at all.
“ please. . . Let the place be empty. . . “ Fleur prayed under her breath as she frantically looked around. Her steps were quick because she already wanted to go home.
Ever since the news about her infertility had been spread among the pack, many wolves see her as a s*x toy and not as a potential mate, which is quite bothersome . People tend to catcall her and sometimes they even try to coax her to give them s****l pleasures in exchange of meat, oils or vegetables. Fleur was lucky enough to push them away each time because she was protected by her father and even Noah.
Her infertility makes it even fun for the Alphas and Fleur hates it.
She looked around one more time when she finally arrived at the lake and left out a sigh when she saw that just according to her wish , the lake is empty. But again no one comes for washing their clothes at this hours of the day. Usually most of the omegas wash clothes are dawn but Fleur was stubborn.
She sighed again as she let the basket down by her step before she gathered her navy blue cotton skirt in one hand and sat on her usual spot by the huge rock.
Most of the days she would come here with her best friend who tends to fear no one but obviously that was not the case today. Her best friend was busy too.
She took out the white dress from the basket and was just searching for the soap that she had made just yesterday with lavender oil, when someone behind her spoke. She startled as the voice spoke before she recognised the owner of the voice.
“ You stupid, Omega! Where were you, stupid?” The voice of male Omega spoke and Fleur tried to hide her face as she closed her eyes in an attempt to make the boy go away. The guy can be very intimidating when he is angry.” Yah! Why are you hiding? Have you forgotten that you are an Omega and you do have scent . I would recognised you scent in the ocean of millions of other scents.” The male Omega behind her stated. “ Now stop being a coward and answer me like a strong Omega that you are!”
Fleur wanted to chuckle at that because that was very dramatic line according to her but she knew that that would only cost her the fuming rage of Felix, her best friend. Felix can kill her, literally.
She finally decided to turn around and look at the male Omega whose honey scent was flowing around them and cocooning around them , mixing perfectly well with Fleur’s lavender scent. She sighed as she looked up at the sky for the divine above to give her strength.
Felix was a few centimetres taller than her but he was much shorter than any average Alpha. He was petite male Omega with soft black hair that were a little bit too long. His green eyes were something that would dangerously allure Alphas and betas into it trap. He was tough and fragile at the same time.
He looked tough by appearance but he is a small fluff ball of the pack. Wolves loved his butterfly personality.
Well, that fluff ball can be tough sometimes and fleur is afraid of that tough Omega.
“ I’m sorry, Felix. . . “ She murmured, voice small as she gave her best friend a puppy eyes.
“ You are sorry? Seriously? I was so worried when I didn’t see you around during the washing time this morning and I let that slide as well but we both had plans for today. Did you forget that we were going to the open field this evening? “ He asked as he stared at her with narrowed eyes.
Oh. She had completely forgotten about their friendly date together this evening. Both of them often go to the open field for relaxing at once a month. It’s their rule that no matter how busy they get they have to spend time together.
“ I’m really sorry, Felix. It completely slipped out of my mind.” She whined as she stood up once again and went to grab her friend’s hand who was still glaring at her as if she is some kind of villian . “ We can go sometime next week , right? And I promise that I will cook our lunch so that you don’t have to worry.” She coaxed and smiled innocently at him who scoffed and looked away from her. He was a best friend ,yes, but he was a drama queen more.
“ Let it be. We can’t go out next week.” He said and pouted as he finally decided to look at her again.” I am getting mated this week.” He said and a smile of joy immediately creeped on his lips. He blushed as he looked at Fleur with eyes crinkling with nothing but pure happiness.
Fleur felt as if she was at lost of words as she looked at Felix with questioning gaze.
“ Daniel finally proposed me yesterday night!” He exclaimed giddily as he bounced on his heels, Even his voice was filled with joy. Ge stepped towards her, earlier argument forgotten completely
Fleur wanted to be happy for his friend, she really wanted to be happy for him but she felt the void in her chest grow big and big and she was sure that someday it will consume her whole. Nonetheless, she still smiled at him as if she didn’t felt jealous of her best friend.
Daniel, a thirty year old healer who had fallen in love with Felix only to know that they were a fated pair. At first, when Felix and Daniel started dating , everyone including Fleur thought that it was wrong. The age gap between the couple was huge, Felix is just nineteen years old, a total eleven years of age gap.
But love doesn’t need any specific language, colour or age.
The couple have proved day after day that they were made for each other.
Daniel had courted Felix as soon as he presented a Omega at the delicate age of sixteen and Fleur wasn’t surprised when Felix immediately accepted his courting gift, Daniel was his childhood crush. Felix would often follow Daniel like a lot puppy when he was a child.
Their love story was nothing short of a fairy tale and they both belonged to each other, that was evident.
“ Yeah. . . “ Fleur started before she composed herself and threw herself on Felix, hugging him tightly. Felix hugged her, even tighter in fact. “ I am so happy for you , Felix. Finally , your Alpha gained some courage to propose you.” She said as she closed her eyes, tears threatening to escape from them.
She felt alone all of the sudden. World around her was changing and she was not yet ready for this change.
Two most important people in her life are getting mated and married. They would be starting their own family soon . They would be moving forward and Fleur will be left behind. She felt as if her feet were stuck on the ground and that she won’t ever be able to move them, that she won’t ever be able to live a life that she always dreamt of.
