Claiming The Rejected Omega

The thought of meeting Prince Aiden made Chloe pull her legs closer to her chin as she hugged herself tighter. It wouldn’t work. She was so sure of it. He wouldn’t leave his life and come running to her. That was never going to happen. The fact that she even thought about that in the first place annoyed her greatly. She would have to make do with her situation.

“I’m just grasping on anything. I have no way out of here. What was I thinking? He only knew me for just one day, and he is a big prince. He wouldn’t be able to keep running to me when things aren’t working. He has other things to do with his time, other than running after me.” She said to herself.

Tears spilled from her eyes. It was a form of conviction to her, and she was sure that she was right. No matter what, Prince Aiden was a royal. He was not a normal man that one could meet when he or she likes. No, she wouldn’t waste her time, building castles in the air.

Chloe spent the day in her room as she looked out of the window. She was trying not to think about anything. It was not worth it. All she wanted to do was to focus on where she was now. If she would be able to escape by herself, it would be much better than asking anyone for help. She was pretty sure about this.

A couple of times, maids came to tell her that Alpha Fletch was demanding her presence, but she ignored them all. She focused more on her own situation other than what was going on around her. She had to make sure she had things covered on her own.

Chloe dosed off once more with those thoughts in her head, until she heard a knock on the door. She blinked, as a yawn escaped her lips.

“Who is there?” She managed.

“Future Luna, it’s the maid,” a thing voice said.

Chloe sighed as she got up from bed. She had no idea why these people couldn’t leave her alone. She wanted nothing to do with any of them. Chloe sighed as she opened the door to the maid who looked like she had just stepped into teenage years.

“What do you want?” Chloe demanded.

The maid bowed. “Alpha Fletch wants you downstairs in five minutes. I’m afraid if you do not pay heed to him, you may not like the action that he would take,” she said calmly.

Chloe frowned slightly. It sounded like a threat, and despite that the seer had been on her side, she knew better than to ignore it. Alpha Fletch had been calm with her even, because normally, he would have made her life hell if she snubbed him the first time.

“I will be there,” she managed.

Chloe went to the bed, and used a frock to cover her hair while wearing her star-studded slippers. She sighed with each move she made out of the room. Honestly, she was tired of so many things, but she was trying to keep it cool.

When she got to the dinning table, all eyes looked right at her. It was just three of the Fletch family. To her shock, Liam got to his feet and came to hug her like their relationship was perfect. It was the strangest thing she had ever witnessed since she found out that he was her mate. She looked at the Alpha, and he was smirking right at them, though his eyes were so cold.

Chloe tried to pull back, but Liam wasn’t letting that happen. She was honestly fed up of his drama. She honestly couldn’t explain it anymore. It was just so strange. Liam finally let her go, but held onto her hands instead.

“I was worried when you didn’t come down, and I had to tell dad to do something. Now, you’re here, it makes me feel better. Come, let’s eat,” he said softly.

Chloe stared at him in shock as he guided her to the dining table, and then, walked over to the other side. Looking around, she noted that they wanted her to obey them. She had to anyway, but she didn’t understand why Liam was acting like he cared.

Was it one of his tricks?

Jeez! It was so hard to understand the man. Chloe sighed as she sat down on her spot. She tried not to look at anyone, though she was aware that they were all looking at her. She hardly knew what to do to salvage the situation because it was so awkward.

Wait, why did she even care about that? It shouldn’t bother me because she don’t even want to be here in the first place. She wanted to leave this place and never come back, and she was not interested in the banana flavoured spaghetti that was on her table.

“Eat, Chloe. You need strength, ok?” Liam said suddenly, making her gulp.

What the hell? Did he just say that right now? She was honestly so shocked at what he said, and she wasn’t even joking. The man was a fucking clown and she had an idea that he knew it, but didn’t want to own up to it.

Despite her thoughts, she found the courage to eat a few bits of the meal, but she couldn’t even go quarter. She wasn’t hungry at all, but out of fear for what Alpha Fletch would do to her, she decided to play along.

The whole meal was a hard pill to swallow, and when Liam got up from the table, she was slightly relieved. It means she could leave too, and do some other things, and she would really like that so much. She wanted to get out of here.

“Chloe, I hope you’re done? Let’s go,” Liam said softly.

She gulped as she looked at Alpha Fletch and his Luna who were both glaring at her to do as she was told. Chloe had not been expecting this at all, and she thought he was going to go his way and she would go hers. She turned her attention to Liam, and he was looking at her expectantly.

Chloe slowly got to her fit, and then, made her way to the room with Liam following close behind. The moment she got to the room, she kicked ofd her slippers and jumped on the bed. Her were closed in an instant.

The bed dipped slightly, but she didn’t turn. Chloe gritted her teeth when his fingers slowly caressed her arm. She didn’t want to feel him one bit, and she honestly hated the touch of his hands on her body.

“I want you,” he whispered against her skin.

That did it, she sat up at once and glared at him. “We don’t have a relationship between us, Liam. I don’t know how you think that everything would get better if I agree to sleep with. I’m not a prostitute for crying out loud. Please, just leave me alone this night,” she said quietly.

His expression changed and she noted that he was at the brink of crying. Chloe blinked in shock. Before she knew what was going on, he was on full blown tears. It was the wildest thing she had seen and she had no idea if I should forgive him or not.

“I’m sorry,” he cried.

Chloe gulped. She had never seen Liam like this before, and her heart hurt as she looked at him. He repeatedly tried to clean his tears, but it kept pouring in torrents. The change in dynamics was something she had not prepared herself for.

He sniffed loudly. “I know that I have hurt you so much. The things that I did to you were so inhuman, but I was compelled to do that,” he said quietly.

Chloe stared at him. “What do you mean you were compelled?”

He sighed. “When I found out you were my mate, I was the happiest person, and I mind linked grandpa in haste, but he wasn’t so happy when I told him who it was. The fact that it was you made everything so painful. He couldn’t just take that we had a connection. Your parents were never fully accepted in the pack, and it would be so strange I mated to the daughter of someone he didn’t think was worthy to be a member of the pack,” he explained.

A tear dropped from Chloe’s eyes. “This is why you didn’t accepted our bond for so long?”

He nodded. “Yes, I couldn’t go against father even when I honestly wanted to. I’m so sorry because I was a coward. But, give me another chance. I don’t love Emily, but father never stopped forcing her on me. What could I have done?” He asked.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Chloe was quiet as she listened to him. She didn’t know if he was lying or not, but there was one thing for sure, seeing his sad face made her want to give him another try, even when the thought of Prince Aiden was still at the back of her mind.
