Choosing The Omega

Stealing from the Moon goddess

SELENE’S POV

I couldn’t believe that I had allowed my mother to force me into getting rid of my own baby and I couldn't believe that she had spoken to Alexis before I had the chance to, she had taken away my right to tell Alex about the baby. After Alexis left me, the baby was the only thing that I had that would ever remind me of him but even that reminder had been forcefully taken from me (I say forcefully because my mother made the decision for me before I could even object) but this wasn’t over yet and I had managed to ask an omega who had been attending to me to find out where Alexis had been working before he left. I knew that if anyone knew what made him decide to leave me the way he did it would be the omegas he was working with.

After the healer was done attending to me and after he had cleared me to resume my normal duties I headed for the garden where Alexis was said to have been waiting and I started asking around. It was a good thing that I healed faster than anyone else in the kingdom because if not for that I would have been on bed rest for quite a while.

At first, when I was questioning the omegas, no one wanted to tell me what had happened and that was because they were probably afraid of accusing my mother of something and end up being persecuted. But after a little while of asking around, I managed to finally c***k someone wide open and get them to tell me what they had seen.

The information I had managed to gather wasn’t much but it was enough to reveal to me the circumstances that surrounded Alexis's decision to abandon me. Of course, my mother was at the center of it all and she had deceived me just as I thought she would. I got to speak to an eyewitness who told me that she saw my mother pushing Alexis into the portal after what seemed to be a heated argument between the two of them and when I asked her what they were arguing about she told me that she didn't hear what it was but she could tell it was quite intense. the only intense thing that I could imagine my mother and Alexis arguing about was my pregnancy and so I assumed that Alexis had probably wanted to stay with me but my mother wanted none of that.

When I asked this omega if she was sure that Alexis hadn't gotten onto the portal himself the omega assured me that she was sure of what she had seen and that my mother pushed him inside when he seemed hesitant. Of course, the omega was afraid that she would get in trouble after telling me all of this but I assured her that I was neither going to confront my mother about this nor tell anyone about it.

My mother’s plan was almost perfect and flawless, and if not for the eyewitness I may have accepted that Alexis chose riches over me. But I knew Alexis would never do that to me and that was the reason it was so hard for me to take my mother’s word when she said that Alexis had abandoned me and chosen to save his family’s reputation instead.

My mother probably wanted me to give up on Alexis and accept Adonis after hearing that Alexis had chosen a new life without me. What she hadnt counted on was that I would investigate and dig for answers until I got them, she was also definitely not counting on me deciding to follow Alexis to where she had sent him because that was what I was about to do.

However, the only person who could open the earth portal was my mother herself and no one else. She was the owner of the wand that opened the portal even though she didn’t need to use it all the time and she could open it with some incantations that I didn’t know. I would have to get my hands on that wand if I had any chances and hoped of reuniting myself with Alexis.

If deceit was the game that my mother wanted to play with me then was I definitely ready to play with her. I knew that what she wanted and wished for with all her heart was for me to accept Adonis and forget about Alexis. I knew that by forcibly mating me to Adonis she was hoping that the mate pull would draw me to him but my heart was just refusing to be attracted to him. I simply refused to submit to a narcissistic prince who thought the whole heavenly realms were his playground however I was willing to compromise and put on my best act in order to get what I wanted.

I was going to pretend to be coming to terms with the fact that I had been mated to Adonis and I was also going to pretend as if I had accepted the fact that Alexis had chosen a new life over me even though that wasn’t going to be the case. In doing so I would gain my mother’s trust and she would relax her hold on me a little bit and watch me a little less.

I knew where she kept her wand and I could remember the location from the time I was a child and she was teaching me how to use it. My mother was considered the only person who could open the portal not only because she was the queen but also because she was the only one who had the wand. However, as the future moon goddess, I was also able to use the wand as it was also imprinted with my fingerprints. My mother had done that when she was training me and she did so to enable me to use it during the training. Never did the two of us think that one day I would be planning to use it for my escape in chasing a boy she didn’t approve of.
