Claiming The Rejected Omega

“Stop,” Chloe cried as she ran across the field.

Yet, she felt so may forces closing in on her. They didn’t want her to have a break, and they were doing all they could destroy her willpower. She tried to make them see reason that they were hurting her, but to no avail. All they craved to do was to burn her alive, and she wondered what she did to deserve this.

Someone threw something at her, and it caught her gown. She was screaming now, trying unsuccessfully to get them to stop, but she couldn’t succeed.

Just then, she felt cool water drench her through and through. She gasped as she looked up and her eyes met Aiden. Without thinking twice, she held onto him.

“Let her go!”

Chloe turned and she saw a giant version of Liam towering on her and Prince Aiden. Aiden growled, and pulled her backwards in a bid to protect her, and in one swipe. He shove giant Liam, and then, took Chloe’s hand the moment giant Liam crashed on the floor, and they started running.

“Run! Run! Run!” She screamed at the top of her voice.

Bang! Bang!

Chloe turned left and right in fright, her hands gripping the bedspread. She heard more intense sounds in her head. With a scream, she shot out of the bed, and looked around. Sweat matted her forehead as she looked around the empty room. It was just a dream.

“Oh, Moon goddess!” She cried in panic.

She swallowed the lump in her throat, as her hands sort to clean off the sweat. It was almost impossible, It kept coming in torrents. Her heartbeat was so hard against her ribs, and she tried to breathe. It took her a moment to realise that someone was banging the door.

“Who is there?” She asked quietly.

“Liam,” he said simply.

Chloe swallowed the lump in her throat. Liam couldn’t be the one that was at the door right now. She was filled with dread. He was going to make her life hell, and she didn’t need that right now. She wanted peace. She wanted him to go away, He was the giant Liam that wanted to squash her. She had to save herself.

“Chloe, please open the door,” he said quietly.

Please? Did he just say, please? It almost looked like something that was unfathomable. Liam was incapable of begging. It was definitely one of his tricks. She was absolutely sure about it. She couldn’t really put anything past him at this point. He was a nightmare, and nothing more. She would have to be weary of him.

Chloe pulled deeper into he bed. Her thoughts were scattered. She had no idea what to do. She was so worried about so many things, and this was one of it. Her knees rose to her chins, and she held herself so tight, in fear that something bad could happen to her. She had no idea why she thought of that, but all she wanted was for Liam to go away.

“Mate, I want to know if you’re ok. I know you’re listening to me. I heard you scream, and I’m scared out of my mind. I want you to talk to me. Tell me if you’re ok. Please, let me know if you’re fine. Just make a sound. It would be enough for me,” Liam said behind the door.

Chloe frowned. She had no idea the type of sick game that he was playing this time. She only wanted to be left alone. Liam was not to be trusted at all. What he said in the morning was different from what he said in the afternoon. He was a fraud, and she was getting to know that as the day goes by. He couldn’t pretend to care for her, and make a mockery of her in front of his family, and pack. He needed to deceive someone else because she had clocked his game.

“Chloe,” Liam said softly.

Chloe held herself tighter, and she could feel his sigh even from where she was. Then, his footsteps slowly became a thing of the past. She sighed in relief, her eyes misting over in fear.

Liam was about to knock once more, and say another sweet nonsense he was good at mumbling. He remembered Emily had fallen for those words, but he couldn’t bring himself to do that. Chloe didn’t want to speak to him. He had no idea why his heart constricted at that. Since that night, he had no idea what was wrong with him.

Maybe it was madness or something else, he couldn’t tell. He walked out and moved towards the bar. It was his happy place, but now, it was turning into his sad place. He opened the door slightly, and walked over to the table, piping himself a glass of Moet and Chandon. The distinct taste of alcohol burned in his throat, and almost paralysed his senses.

Liam wondered what was happening to him. He had the urge to go back to her, and try to make her see reasons with him. He had no idea if he was getting mad. He was definitely sure that it was the case. The weak mate was making him do things for her now. He vaguely wondered if she was enjoying it. It must be so exciting for her.

He gulped even more drinks.

A knock…

Liam turned to the door, and saw a guard sticking his head in. He glared at him. These lowlives were such idiots. What the hell was the meaning of this now? It didn’t make sense one bit, and she tried not to be annoyed at it. But, this was so ridiculous. It was insane actually.

“What the fuck is your problem?” He snapped.

The man licked his lips slightly. “Crowned Alpha, I believe that you have a visitor.”

Liam mentally facepalmed! “You believe? The fuck! Moon goddess would have strike you dead!” he snapped in rage.

The idiot shivered in fright. Good for nothing bastard!

“Who is the visitor?” he snapped impatiently.

“Kian, the pack doctor’s son, and the future pack doctor of the Break-stone pack,” the idiot said.

If I wasn’t in a bad mood, I would have laughed. He had to give me a biography of my childhood friend. I couldn’t imagine how stupid these people were. It was what gave the prince the audacity to try to claim his mate because he believed that there was nothing that they could do to stop the situation.

“Let him in,” Liam snapped.

The guard did as he was told, and Kian came in. He looked pretty good in slack pants and a rainbow styled T-shirt that hugged his biceps. He smiled at Liam, but Liam didn’t return it. Kian poured a drink for himself the moment he got to the table, and slapped Liam on the back playfully. He drank numerous shots till he was satisfied.

“Hi bestie,” he said in a high-pitched voice.

Liam rolled his eyes. “I swear, sometimes I think that you don; have drinks in your house. You’re crazy, yo.” He said calmly.

Kian smirked. “You know about my drinking habits already, that’s not news. What is news is all this nonsense you’re doing with that weak girl. What was her name? Oh, Chloe!” He said in disgust, as he drank more alcohol.

Liam sighed as he pushed the alcohol away from him. “It’s a game. You don’t think I’m serious with her, right?”

Kian shook his head. “What type of foolish game is this? Emily is fucking heartbroken, and all you do is to fuss over Chloe. It’s bad, man.”

Liam itched his hair. “I’m not fussing over, Chloe. I just don’t want to lose against her. I don’t like her one bit. Kian, I hate her, and I want her out of my life at any cost. But, I can’t help but have her stay because we can’t be the worst things in history in front of so many packs. I’m trying to prove that she lied, with that Prince,” he said stubbornly.

Kian rose his glass up, swirling it around. “I hope you’re saying the truth for everyone’s sake.”

Liam bit his lip. He believed he was. There was no way he would have feelings for such a crazy woman.

***

Chloe was pacing the length and breadth of the room. She was repeatedly thinking of a way to get out of the issue. Thee was no way she could be in this pack anymore. But, the problem was that she couldn’t really escape because the guards were all around.

To make matters worse, she was severely missing Prince Aiden. Despite her denials and everything, she wanted to be with him. She craved it even. His warmth that night had been intense. He wasn’t like the others. He was a good man, and she was tired of lying to herself that he wasn’t.

She needed to meet him.

It was at that moment that Chloe remembered he had explained how to get his attention. Would it be able to work? There was no harm intruding, was there?
