Choosing The Omega

Choosing the omega

SELENE’S POV

After speaking to the omega that had worked with Alexis in the garden I wasted no time in finding my mother. I was unfortunate enough to run into Adonis on my way to my mother’s bedroom and he was being in an irritating nuisance as usual. I hadn’t had any conversation with Adonis ever since he left my room after he found out that I was no longer a virgin and pure like he had thought I was. I suspected that he either immediately knew that I was also pregnant at that moment or he suspected I was, but whatever the case was one thing was certain and that was I was about to put an end to everything.

I may not have known what Adonis and his father may have used against my mother or what they were using to blackmail her but because she didn’t trust me enough to share whatever it was with me I was now going to leave her to deal with it all on her own. There was no way that I was going to risk my happiness and allow Alexis to be treated so unfairly while they all kept me in the dark.

I suspected that my mother may not have been completely honest with Alexis in whatever she told him. I suspected that she had probably deceived him the same way that she had deceived me and because of that I knew that wherever Alexis was he was probably angry with me. It seemed that my mother was desperate to accomplish her mission at all costs and she was willing to ignore that her decisions affected me negatively.

However, there was one thing that I was counting on and that could either work in my favor or against me. When my mother was teaching me about the portal and how to use the wand that was sometimes used to transport supernaturals, she had told me that often supernaturals that went through the portal landed on earth with no memory and it would take them earthly years to regain their memory (earthly years were like moon months), but if they were lucky they would find something that would trigger their memory and remind them of what and who they truly were but that was only true for a few lucky ones. She explained to me that the reason for this was so that supernatural secrets remained hidden and this was done to protect all who resided in the moon kingdom. I hoped that was the case for Alexis and if I was lucky we would both have the chance to start rebuilding our lives on a clean slate and with new memories.

But then again, there was a huge possibility that after meeting me Alexis would remember everything that happened here and possibly not want to talk to me. However, I wasn't going to allow these doubts to stop me from pursuing him and tracking him down, in my eyes and my opinion, Alexis was my rightful mate and I didn’t care what my mother said.

“Hey mum” I greeted my mother who was lying on her bed

“Selene, I am not in the mood for an argument today,” she said as I sat on her bed, before Adonis came into our lives, my mother never thought a visit from me would turn into a fight. It was all because of Alexis that my relationship with my mother was in this state.

“I am not here to do that, I just wanted to apologize,” I said  and she sat up surprised

“Apologize for what?” she asked me

“For being selfish and not putting the best kingdom’s best interest at heart, I was too focused on Alexis and he left me or abandoned me the first chance he got,” I said and she shifted uncomfortably and I wondered if she was buying into my story or she could see through my lies.

But she had started the game of deceit and I was merely returning the favor and playing by her rules.

“Oh baby I am so glad to hear you saying that,” she said as she pulled me in for a hug

“Where is dad?” I asked her

“Your father is attending to some business he won't be back until tomorrow evening,” she said and I seized the opportunity

“Can I spend the night with you tonight?” I asked her and I could see she was about to say no

“I don’t think that is a good idea, you haven't been with Adonis in a while and I a pretty sure he wants to spend time with his mate too,” she said and I felt sick by the mere suggestion of me spending the night with Adonis but I had to keep acting if my plan was going to work

“I know mum but after tonight he will be having me for the rest of my life, can't I spend one last night in my mother’s arms?” I asked her and she sighed and motioned for me to get into bed with her and I got in.

One thing I was certain of was that my mother would wake up at midnight to perform some moon rituals, so this would be the perfect time for me to escape because she whenever did these rituals, she would be stuck in a trance and wouldn't be aware of her surroundings until she finished with what she was doing, this was her most vulnerable state.

It took a little while for my mother to fall asleep but when she finally did she was snoozing. The last time I had slept with my mother  I was just a toddler and it used to make my father angry. As much as I was using this as a distraction to get what I wanted from my mother I also wanted her to hold me one last time before I left. I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to find my way back home after leaving but this was a risk I was willing to take. My mother could easily find me but I knew even if she did I wouldn't come back home and she wouldn't be able to make me until I found Alexis.

At exactly midnight I felt the side of the bed where my mother was sleeping moving as she got off the bed, before she got off the bed she kissed me on the forehead and whispered how much she loved me. She also apologized for the way things had turned out and promised me that one day I would understand. For some reason, it kind of felt like she knew that this would be the last time that she saw me and she was saying her final goodbye.

When I was sure that she was out of sight and started searching for the wand where she always kept it, I said the incantations that I was supposed to say and I watched in fear as the portal opened and as it got bigger. I decided to leave a note for my mother and explain to her where I had gone and why I had made the choice that I had just made.

“mom, I am sorry for leaving you this way, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. But I cannot live with the choice that you have made for me and that is the reason why I have decided to leave and pursue my destiny….I love Alexis and I chose him”

After leaving the note on the side of the bed where I had been sleeping I jumped into the portal without a second thought and without second-guessing my decision to leave. It felt like nothing that I had imagined, I felt like I was falling endlessly and soon I was consumed by darkness.
