Their Omega Mate

Chapter 6

Kaiden

We were seated on the stage where my father was giving a speech but I could hardly understand what he was saying because my mind was elsewhere.

Sophia

I wanted to kill my past self. How can I ruin my own destiny!? I couldn't even state how I felt when I saw her terrified face when she looked at me. It was horrible to face that however, I was to blame for all that.

I have f****d it all by myself. She is my mate, the one I need to cherish and protect yet she trembles in front of me as if I am the devil's incarnation ready to devour her.

I wanted to go back and erase all those times when I bullied her and treated her meanly. I can totally understand her behaving like that but it still breaks my heart to see her cower in fear at the mere sight of me.

'Serves you right. How can you do that to your own mate? You are pathetic'

My wolf Adam admonished me and I could do nothing but hang my head low in shame and bite back any rebuttals because this is something I have brought upon myself.

I looked at my brothers and they all seemed to be in the same distress as me. I can understand them. In ClawRidge pack, it is a legacy if the children are born of the same gender, then they will have the same mate. We have been taught that thing since childhood and it isn't a surprise to me that we all have the same mate. I love my brothers, and we all have a strong bond however I would be lying if I say she won't become a reason for discord between us.

Fuck it all!

Ever since I first saw her when we were children at our pack's annual gathering, she has set my heart ablaze. She was nothing like those texts in the books which described her kind as hideous, she was a far cry from that. She was beautiful. Her innocence and cute little antics were all so adorable that my heart wavered.

I believe it was then when my heart had started beating for someone else however I couldn't realize that at that time. I was drawn to her and wanted to know more about her but it wasn't possible and just like that time passed and it has been years since I last saw her however I couldn't forget her.

And it bothered me, a lot. How could I, the greatest and at the top of the hierarchy have my mind occupied by someone who is at the lowest position, an omega, the being not worth looking out for?

I was taught differently than what my heart desired and I started resenting her for tormenting my heart, my sanity. I wanted to be the perfect alpha heir to rule this pack like my mother said, to be like my father and she was an obstacle in that path.

My biggest distraction and tormentor. I wanted to get her out of my head and at the same time wanted her to keep by my side and observe her, know her more. It was terrible and just like that one day, I saw her again.

Some of our pack people were bullying her and that's when I felt like the moon goddess was smiling at me today, I felt the perfect solution to my agony. I started bullying her thereafter and my brothers also joined me enjoying the misery I was subjecting her to befitting of her status and yet being near her anytime I wanted. I get to see her anytime I want without anyone saying anything about it and also being the perfect alpha heir following what my mother taught me.

However, now I realize how big of a fool I was and how wrong all these teachings are. She never deserved all those things I did to her, s-she she is my precious mate, the one who is going to be mine and my brother's Luna.

I feel like that day the moon goddess wasn't smiling at me but laughing at my foolishness. How can I be the worst nightmare of my mate? How can I not realise that I have loved her even before I got to know that she was my mate?

We as usual made a plan to mess with her and we did but we weren't done with just splashing the water on her, we wanted to do more and knowing very well that she would try to escape, we all went to each gate of the academy from where she could flee and as expected we caught her.

When I got the signal, that she had been captured, I went to the west gate where everyone else was and suddenly a sweet scent started playing with my senses. The sweetest honey and vanilla scent I had ever scented made my heart go crazy and I wanted to do nothing but sniff it sink my teeth, taste it if possible and devour it.

It was making me go crazy and at the end of the trail from where the scent was coming stood Sophia dressed in a red wine dress which looked exquisite on her, her caramel hair let loose and oceanic big irises blinking like two big sapphires and it was at that moment when I realized it wasn't an ordinary scent.

It was the sugary and tantalizing scent of my mate. I could see nothing but her and wanted to take her in my arms right away, bite her flushed cheeks, lick her reddened ears, nibble her round soft milky shoulders and fervently feel her body heat against mine with no barrier between us.

It felt like heaven when I held her in my arms, my thirst becoming more fervent than before, my senses went haywire and my wolf was at the bay to take over my human form and lick her all over swinging his tail cutely in front of her exposing his belly and play tricks on her just to get any token of love from her, a pat on the hand or a scratch on it's cheek.

It was as if I had finally found my oasis, a salvation of my long-sought torment. I could finally let those feelings soar I had put a lid on burying them somewhere deep inside me. All my prejudice and those ghastly teachings finally shed away and my twisted obsession found its saviour.

I realised I loved her more than anything in the world however when I saw her petrified face at the sight of me and my brothers, I felt the base on which I had built my new world after knowing my feelings shake and crack in front of my own eyes. I could feel a searing pain in my heart when I saw her tears fall however I didn't dare to go near her when she looked horror-stricken and asked us to go away.

I didn't want her to distrust me again although I had so much to work for and I didn't want to ruin it from the very start and just at that moment, Charles arrived. I felt as if it was both a blessing and a curse.

I knew our presence was only worsening her condition and at the same time, I wanted to be near her, appease her and not leave her alone when she looked so fragile and vulnerable but I knew going with Charles was the best thing to do at that moment and I had no one else to blame for my situation but me however now that I have realised my feelings and moon goddess have destined us to be mates, I will never let her go.

She was mine before and now. She will be mine forever. I will do anything possible to win her back whether I need to grovel at her feet or beg for her apology for my whole life but I can't let her go. She is my mate, my salvation. If I have wrecked everything, then I will be the one to rebuild it.

Sophia, I promise you that I will take away all your nightmares even if it means I will have to painfully redo your every dream, stringing nothing but sweet dreams in your dreamland every sleepless night of mine.

Moon Goddess has given me a second chance in my life and I swear I will never let it go. It was then when I had made up my mind, I heard my father saying, he had an important announcement to make.
