“What do you think you are doing?” Sara demanded, glaring at the other girl.
“You should be glad he is inviting you,” Laura told her, sinking one hand into Sara’s hair and gripping it tightly. “An Omega like you should never get close enough to touch him.”
They were crazy, both of them! While Laura held her to the bed, Victor removed his boxers once again.
Sara struggled harder against Laura and managed to get free and crawl away. Whatever sick game they had in mind, she wanted no part of it. They had already humiliated her, why couldn’t they just let her go?
Her wet dress clung to her body as she tried to get off the bed. But Victor grabbed her and threw her onto her back on the bed. He straddled her hips and pinned her wrists in place with his hands. “Where are you going? We are just getting started.”
She blinked tears out of her eyes as she looked up at him. Looking at him, she couldn’t see the guy she had been so madly in love with for three years.
How had she not seen this side of him all along? Even before they started dating, they lived together for a long time. He had never treated her harshly.
If someone had told her he was cheating on her, she wouldn’t have believed them. But now…now, she had seen his true face, who he really was, and even if the truth was glaring at her, it was so hard to believe.
When had he changed? When had he started seeing Laura behind her back? Had he ever truly loved her? Why had he dated her if he thought she was worthless? He could have rejected her from the beginning and gotten with the Beta’s daughter, if that’s who he truly wanted.
She had too many questions she wasn’t sure she wanted answers to. Maybe she didn’t need them. They wouldn’t change anything.
“I won’t bother you anymore,” she told him, her voice strangled with the tears stuck in her throat. “Let me go, and I’ll stay out of your life.”
“Don’t you want to have s*x with me?” he asked, gripping her wrists in one hand and running the other one down the side of her face.
She flinched at his touch and turned her head to the side to get away from it. “Let me go,” she whispered brokenly.
He grabbed her by the chin, his fingers digging painfully into her jaw. He wrenched her face back to face him. “Do you really think you can reject me? I’ll show you who the Alpha is around here.”
Laura snickered loudly. “Why do you even bother with her, Vic? You shouldn’t taint yourself with such trash.”
“Even stray dogs deserve crumbs,” he said, leaning down to get closer to Sara’s face. “I’m giving her a chance to stay by my side, but she is throwing it in my face like she is too good for me. She must have started thinking we are the same because I dated her for so long.”
“Your mistake,” Laura scoffed.
“Well then, let me fix it,” he said and released Sara’s face.
His hand moved between their bodies, where he grabbed Sara’s wet dress and pulled it upwards, exposing her body. She struggled against his grip and thrashed her legs to throw him off, but he was too strong for her.
He managed to push her dress above her waist and then drag her underwear down her legs. He forced her legs apart with his knees and settled his hips between them.
Sara’s pleas fell on deaf ears as he showed no sign to back down from his intentions. He used his hand to guide his length towards her centre, and her entire body tensed when she felt his tip graze against her.
She screamed for him to stop, but he just tried to enter her again. When he tried to push through again, she tried with all her might to throw him off. She felt a strange power rush through her body, and when she pulled her wrists this time, she was able to escape his grip.
Victor’s eyes shot to her in surprise, but before he could grab her again, she rose on her arms and bit him on the neck. Victor yelled and pushed her off him, and then scrambled from the bed, grabbing his neck. “What the f**k?”
Laura got off the bed too, giving Sara a shocked look. “How dare you bite him?”
Victor moved his hand, and they all saw the blood streaking down his skin. The bite mark wasn’t that of teeth, but fangs. As if her wolf had broken through to attack him.
“You are so dead,” Laura said, inspecting Victor’s wound closely. “How can an Omega like you hurt the Alpha King? Where do you get such power?”
Sara knew what she meant. It wasn’t about her audacity to hurt Victor, as it was about her ability to attack and overpower him. An Omega could never do that to an Alpha, leave alone a weak female Omega like her. She had no idea how she had been able to, but it wasn’t the time to wonder about that.
Staring straight into Victor’s rage-filled eyes, she said, “I, Sara Mae Xavier, reject you, Victor Andrew Jameson, as my mate. I revoke the bond between us, and give up any responsibility, claim, and right to you as my mate. May the Goddess be witness to this.”
Laura shrieked in mortification. “What? You are rejecting the Alpha King? The nerve!”
But Laura’s profanities that followed all went through one ear and out the next, because she suddenly could not concentrate on anything. Her body was filled with a kind of pain she had never felt before. One she had only ever heard about.
When a mate bond was broken, you got weaker. As an Omega, the broken bond had a more severe impact on her. It didn’t help that her mate was a strong Alpha king…she would be lucky to survive, at all.
She wanted nothing more than to get out of that room, but her body crumpled on itself and forced her to remain on the bed, helpless.
And then everything went blank.
