Choosing The Omega

A little favour

SELENE’S POV

Seeing Alexis was like getting a breath of fresh air that I had been yearning for, it was like getting a drink of water when I was parched in a desert and his embrace made me feel like everything was going to be ok even though I knew that nothing was going ok. I could feel that he was as scared of losing me as I was scared of losing him but he was just trying to put up a brave face and act like he was he wasn't all that concerned. Alexis was a very strong man and that was one of the reasons why I loved him the way I did

“I missed you,” I said as I wiped off my tears and kissed him hungrily, I just wanted him to keep holding me.

“It's only been a day” he mocked and I was relieved to see that he still had a little sense of humor in him.

“It is still too long for me,” I said as we both sat on the rock that I had been sitting on

“How are you coping with the new changes?” he asked me and I just wanted to scream

“I hate it, my mother has mated me to him,” I said

“What do you mean?” he asked me

“My mother took it upon herself to create a mate bond between us and make it harder for me to resist him,” I said and I could see the disappointment in his eyes.

“I guess I should have known that this would happen sooner or later,” he said

“What do you mean?” I asked him

“I mean I should have known that your mother would never accept me,” he said " I should have known that she would do everything in her power to make sure that we didn't end up together but I guess I was stuck in dreamland. I convinced myself that as long as we loved each other we would be able to overcome anything they threw at us. I thought that the fact that you were supposed to choose your mate would work in our favor, but it's clear that even though I was mated to you your mother rejected me.

How was I to know that your mother would blatantly reject me even before she knew anything about us, how was I to know that she would replace me with someone that I can never dream of competing with" he said as tears started welling up in his eyes, Alexis never showed any emotions or got emotional, especially when he was sad but now that he was showing me the despair that he was feeling I knew that he was in deep pain and I wished I could do something or say something to him that would make all the pain he was feeling go away.

I didn't like the Alexis that I was seeing now and although none of what was happening was my fault, I couldn't help blaming myself.

“I can still speak to my father and convince him to speak to my mother,” I said and he shook his head

“Your father would never go against your mother,” he said and I knew he was right, my father would never make a decision that went against my mother he loved her and respected her too much, and he had barely said anything since this whole drama with Adonis began and that was because my father never interfered with any decision my mother ever made.

“Fine then, you will have to do something for me,” I said and he turned and looked at me

“You know I will do anything for you,” he said

“I don’t want Adonis and you know that anything that I might feel for him will never be natural like the way I am with you,” I said “as you know I am still a virgin” I added

“I see where you are going with this and I am afraid there isn't much that I can do to help you, the goddess will have me killed when she finds out,” he said

“It won't come to that I promise you, I just want to convince them that I have already been claimed by someone else. The sensible option would be for you to just mark me but we both know that would just get you killed instantly. I just want Adonis to reject me and he will only do so if he realizes that I have given my virginity to you” I begged

“I understand what you are saying but I don’t think it will work, Adonis is too power-hungry to let a small thing like your virginity get in the way of that, I mean not that you being a virgin doesn't matter but my point is that I don't think he cares about that,” he said

“I understand what you mean and you are right, but it's worth a try and I would just hate myself if I had to live my life knowing that I had given the most special part of me to a loser like him,” I said

“I will only do it to make you happy and for no other reason.” he said “don’t allow Adonis to turn you into something that you are not” he added

I was happy with the fact that he was willing to do what I had asked of him, I knew that it would be risky for him to do this for me but I felt like allowing my virginity to be taken by someone I resented was the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I hated Adonis and even though there was no specific reason as to why I hated him, I just did, I couldn’t stand him, and the fact that he had won my parents over so easily drove me crazy.

If it did happen that Alexis was banished from the moon realm, I was going to follow him where ever he went because it was bad enough that I was being forced to separate from him and I wasn’t going to allow anyone to kick him out of the only home he had ever known. My mother would soon learn that Adonis was not t be trusted and I couldn't wait for that day to come, I couldn’t wait for her to finally see that I was right and she was wrong and my only prayer was that she wouldn't discover that fact too late.
