Choosing The Omega

What manner of love

SELENE’S POV

“What are you doing here so late at night?” Adonis asked me and I got out of the water and rolled my eyes while I covered myself with my nightgown, he didn't deserve to see me naked.

“That's none of your damn business,” I said as I walked past him

“Get dressed first” he commanded me and I ignored him and continued walking toward the palace, who the hell did he think he was to tell me what to do and what right did he think he had over me? I could feel my anger boiling as I continued walking away from him.

 I soon heard his footsteps as he ran to catch up with me and he pulled me by my hand and swung me around, and as soon as I was facing him I felt my face get hot for a second and then I realized that he had just slapped me

“Don't you ever walk away from me when I am talking to you,” he said his breath brushing up on my face and tears started streaming down my face

"You will respect me as your mate," He said and I scoffed

"I don't know who you think you are talking to but I am certainly not your mate," I said as I continued walking

This was the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone, besides my mum, I was the strongest person in this realm I was even stronger than my father, and yet here I was being tortured and abused by a weakling like Adonis. This was so embarrassing and I kind of blamed my mother for all of this that was happening no scratch that, I completely blamed her for this. She was the one who gave Adonis the impression that I could easily be disrespected with no consequence, and because of her, I couldn't even defend myself against his ruthless attacks.

The only reason why I couldn’t fight him back was because of the stupid link that my mother had performed on us. No matter how much I tried to hurt him I was never going to be able to because he was ultimately supposed to be my mate.

I hated the way he made me feel when he touched me, I hated the butterflies that I felt in my stomach when he grabbed me and I wished I could kill them off one by one. I could barely feel the slap that had landed on my face because of all the other feelings that had been clouding my heart. This was all so confusing and I didn’t know what to do I really loved Alexis and here I was being forcefully drawn to Adonis by forces that I couldn’t fight against.

I didn’t respond to Adonis but instead, I fought to free myself off of him and then continued walking away. He had to run to catch up with me and kept complaining the whole time until we reached our room. There was no way that I was going to even waste my precious breath on him. I was thankful that he hadn't picked Alexis’ scent on me but I knew that was only a matter of time and the delay was probably caused by the dip that I had taken in the moon river. However,  If I spent enough time close to him he would notice that I had a foreign scent but I knew how to get rid of it.

I got into the bathroom and locked myself in there while I went through my closet to find something that would musk my scent altogether. My mother had given me a flower a while back that was supposed to keep me safe from whenever I was out walking alone, this flower was supposed to musk my scent but I had never used it so I figured now would be a good time to use it. After I found the pink flower that had long petals I threw it in the bathtub and started filling it with water as I took off my clothes.

I got into the hot water and my whole body instantly relaxed, I could understand why this flower would musk my scent because its scent had already filled the whole bathroom and I knew that it would do its job. The last thing I wanted was for Adonis to find out that I was with Alexis and tell my mother, he was going to find out a whole lot of other things eventually but I didn't want him to know what I had been up to for now. if my mother was to find out what I had done she would with no doubt banish Alexis from the moon realm and I was kind of counting on that. I didn't want Alexis to know that I wanted him to be banished but I figured that was the only way we could be together. I was willing to give up everything just to be with him because I loved and to me, it didn't matter what my mother said.

However, if she had found out that my plan was for Alexis to be the one to break my virginity she would not only have freaked out but she would have possibly killed him. I was counting on Adonis giving me up once he found out I had slept with Alexis but didnt want him to know about that yet. The best thing that could happen would be if I got pregnant for him. 

Yeah that would drive my mother nuts and lead me and Alexis to our death.

Meanwhile, Adonis was still pounding on the bathroom door and demanding that I let him in and threatening that he would break the door if I didn’t let him in at the same time. I could see that he had grown some kind of confidence in the authority he had in this palace simply because my mother had taken his side over mine. But I was confident that would change once I told my mother that he had slapped me, I knew that my mother loved me a lot and would never allow anyone to hurt me in any way. However, with recent events I found myself questioning the kind of love that was if she couldn't even allow me to make a simple decision concerning who I was willing to spend my life with.
