The Cursed Omega

Chapter 7 - Aftermath

~IVORY~

My eyes ached badly as I felt the sun's rays coming through the open window directly to my face, "can you please close the blinds?" I murmured to the man who I had spent the night with, and when I got no response, I tried touching him but only felt an empty space.

I jolted my eyes open, then realized my one-night stand had left and didn't even wait to tell me good-bye. I cringed as the memories of the previous night flooded my brain and I instantly felt a headache, it must be hangover problems.

I dragged myself out of bed as I noticed a paper placed beneath the table lamp. I took it and it read "last night was awesome, but I hope we never meet again".

"It's time to leave the premises as we need to clean, miss, please pack up to evacuate the room in the next five minutes" a lady said behind the door following a loud bang.

I rushed into the bathroom to wash my face and mouth. I came out of the bathroom and saw how last night's clothes were nearly packed. I smiled at his thoughtfulness.l I wore them and left the wine parlor building.

"There she is", I heard Jemima yell from a distance with Jason and Lucas by her side. I could see the relief in her face as she smiled briefly before frowning, then storming at me, who was now transfixed on the spot.

They immediately rushed towards me with Jemima following closely.

"Where in the world have you been? We were all worried" Jason said, with deep concern.

"I thought for a moment you found your mate and went off with him", Lucas said with a not-so-good expression.

"Haha, very funny, I actually..." I began to say but got interrupted.

"I told you to sit your butt down , didn't I?" Jemima said to me.

"I'm sorry about last night". I apologized with my head bowed ashamedly, she stared at me for a moment and pulled me into her usual bone-crushing hug.

"I thought something had happened to you, I thought you ran away, I thought someone had got to you, I thought you hurt yourself, I had a lot of thoughts. But I'm glad you're safe" she said.

"Nothing actually happened to me, but it mi-might happen to me if you don't rele-eease me now" I managed to say, and Jason chuckled at that.

"Oh,it's my fault for caring for you now?" She said, releasing me, then folding her arms disapprovingly.

"You know that's not what I mean" I said, nudging her, before walking with her side by side.

"Am I the only one noticing anything here?" Jemima asked after a while.

Actually, I do", Lucas replied.

"Me too", Jason also said.

"What's that?" I asked in confusion.

"Your makeup is really smeared girl" she said.

"Ohhhh" I said.

"You have s*x hair too" Jason said and Jemima hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Maybe that's because I had s*x last night" I said, to their amazement and the slight disappointment of Lucas.

"Oh, I see, you were busy going at it while we were combing through the pack grounds looking for you? Unbelievable" Jemima said with sarcasm.

"I'm sorry guys, I really didn't mean to stress you, I got carried away" I apologized.

"It's fine, I guess I should go now. I have something important to do", Lucas said.

"Thanks for your help, Lucas" Jemima said.

"It's nothing" he replied and left hurriedly after saying "see you some other time,Ivory".

"Me too" I replied, blowing him an invisible kiss which he chuckled at.

"You just broke the poor guy's heart", Jason directed at me .

"How?" I asked.

"It's visible he likes you" he replied.

"But he's not my second-chance mate or anything. Besides, we agreed to remain friends", I countered.

"So, who was that mate of yours?" Jemima asked, making my demeanor change.

"Can we not talk about this now?" I said as I began to feel my emotions go sour.

"Hmm, let me guess, you felt lonely after the rejection then decided to go get drunk, after which you ended up in a man's bed?" She pressed further and I got pissed.

"I said, do not talk about this now!" I yelled at her and immediately felt my head throb.

"You ladies should calm down please" Jason said, trying to make peace.

"How many times do you want me to assure you that you're not alone? You got an issue? I'm here for you, I mean, we can always get a solution," She asked.

"And is there a solution to being rejected because I'm an Omega? Is there anything to make me a normal wolf?" I asked, but Jemima kept quiet.

"Funny how you try saying I'm not lonely. Well, I am because you don't know how rejection feels, you have a perfect life with your perfect mate, you have a loving family who wouldn't joke about you, and me? I have nothing" I said defiantly.

"Well, you have me, how else do you want me to prove it?" she said, looking straight into my eyes.

"I don't need you proving anything" I said, waving it off.

"But you keep doing things all by yourself, you keep taking selfish actions and most times you don't listen to me. If I did that to you every time, how would you feel?" She asked me.

"Jemima, right now, I'm not in my best version, I need you to just let me be, and not to give me special lessons on how to live my life", I said.

"Is that what you think I'm doing!?" She said and Jason tried calming her down, which infuriated and intensified jealousy in him.

"Don't try caring for me, J, enjoy your perfect life, okay, I'll only burden you" I said and began to leave, only to get stopped by Jason who held my wrist.

"You know she truly cares for you and is only watching out for you. I mean it's not safe if you just hookup with anyone while drunk, it'll break her to see anything bad happen to you, that's all she's trying to say." he tried reasoning with me, as he held my wrist.

"And I'm cursed, everyone else except her and Lucas dislike me in this pack. She should do the same,besides, refrain from holding me. Your girlfriend wouldn't like that" I said with a sad smile before turning to leave, since my headache was intensifying by each passing moment.

"Tell me you want me out of your life forever and I won't ever bother you again" Jemima suddenly said as she came to stand before me.

"Okay fine, if that's it. Jemima, please I want you...u ....." was all I could say before losing consciousness.
