Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Jessica

Mate

My wolf called out to him as soon as she perceived his scent that morning while I was lying down on the floor in Derrick's room.

I was weak and thought I was going to die after Derrick made me starve for days just because I attempted to bite his cock off.

Honestly, I will say he had it coming.

I was tired of being his whore, I was tired of his continually shoving his rigid cock down my throat every single night, not for once minding how I felt about his constant abuse.

So I decided that I was going to chop off his cock with my teeth and not minding what the consequences would be.

Even though I silently prayed that he kill me, as there was nothing left for me to live for.

He was on me that morning torturing and assaulting my body with all the sex objects he had brought out before someone sent him a mind link that the pack was under attack.

He hurriedly pushed me out of the bed to the ground, not minding that I was naked and tie-up.

“It's a pity I didn't get to see you die, how sexy it would have been,” he said, spitting into my face.

After which, he hurriedly moved around the room to get dressed and pack his property I suppose.

Moments later the room was dead silent after he had left. Even though I was all alone, hungry, weak, and close to death, I wasn't scared.

Silently within me, I prayed that the death that I have long hoped for would finally come to me. I deserve all the punishment I am getting, I have in my selfishness made others suffer, so I too must carry my cross.

But all that changed as soon as Derrick's door was banged open.

My wolf who have been quiet the entire time began jumping with excitement.

Mate, our mate is here. He has come to save us.

She kept screaming in my head.

Initially, I was confused as to why our mate would come for me, the last thing I remember of him was angrily walking out on him after I had rejected him.

What would an omega come to do in a battle?

I heard voices inside the room, one of the voices belonged to Alexander and another I can't say I have heard before but one thing I knew was it belong to my mate.

I thought of calling out for help, but I was too weak to do so, or maybe not so weak but too embarrassed.

There stood two most important men in my life, one the mate that I rejected and the other my best friend that I betrayed.

I heard my mate tell Alexander that he knew where I was and even made efforts to help me.

I was surprised when he came for me, pulled his shirt to clothe my nakedness, and carried me in his strong steady arms.

In my weak state, I could still feel the sparks from his touch and his aura of dominance. It's almost impossible to think that this was the same person I rejected years ago for being too weak.

I mean, what happened to him, how did he turn from the weak omega to this jaw-dropping handsome, man.

I can't seem to get him off my head, and most times when he comes around to check me up in the clinic, I pretend to be sleeping.

I always know when he is here, but I am too scared to look at him or talk with him.

The doctors keep wondering why I am always sleeping when I should be getting better by now, the truth is I have become better over the last few days but the fear of facing my mate and my former best friend is what is keeping me down.

I have thought of running away, that way I will not have to face them, but that again is another act of cowardice.

So I have decided that I am going to apologize for my wrongs doings and hopefully they both forgive me.

The door that led to my room opened and the doctor walked in casually but his eyes lit up as soon as he sees me sitting on the bed.

“So you are awake,” he said excitedly as he walks over to come and cross-examine me.

“Tell me how are you feeling,” he questioned excitedly while jotting some notes on his pad.

“I'm fine, thank you, I am just a little bit tasty” I admitted.

“Oh, I will ask one of the nurses to get you water as soon as possible,” he said friendly.

“Thank you,” I replied with a smile.

“Are you having headaches or pains in any part of your body?” he asked still busy with his write-up.

“No doctor,”

“Good, I will send someone to tell alpha Kai that you are up and alright,”

“Sorry, who?” I questioned

“Alpha Kai, he was the one that assigned me to take proper care of you and he will be very happy to see that you are awake and feeling very well,” He said and before I could ask him more questions, he was already out of the door.

***

Moments later the door opened and I could feel he was the one, even though my back was turned against him.

The door closes silently and I listened to his movement towards my bed, I could feel his eyes on me as he moved till he stopped about a few feet away.

“I heard you are awake,” he said in a husky voice.

As much as I was afraid, I knew it was now or never, if for nothing but to thank him for saving my life.

I turned slowly to face him and I noticed he took his eyes off mine as soon as they met.

Honestly, it's almost impossible to think that the man standing here with me now is the small boy I rejected, I mean how is that possible.

If not that my wolf keeps saying mate, I would have thought it was a mistake.

Where did all these muscles, strength, cuteness, and stamina come from?

His eyes were hazel-green, strong, and could remind you of the beauty of nature.

“I am sure you know who I am,” he said after some moment of awkwardness have passed.

“Yes,” I managed to say not daring to lift my eyes to look at him again.

“So who am I Jessica?” he questioned.

And even though I wished that moment that I didn't have to answer that question I knew I had to.

“I asked you a question,” he said as I felt his eyes back on me.

“Mate,” I mumbled.

“You are wrong, I am the mate you rejected....”

He was saying before the door unexpectedly opened and Alexander walked in.

“I was told you are....” He was saying to Kai before he saw me sitting on the bed.

I couldn't lift my face to look at him, I felt him look at me for some time before directing his attention back to Kai.

“I need to talk to you, it's regarding our journey tomorrow,” I will wait outside,” Alexander said and walked out not bothering to spare me another look.

They are traveling, where are they going to and how long will they be staying there?

I wondered as I sat waiting for my mate to say something or do something. But instead, he walked out leaving me in my confusion.

****

Kai

“What is going on between you both,” Alexander asked as soon I walked out of Jessica's room.

I knew he was going to get suspicious at some point, and I had the intention of telling him but I just feel the time is not right.

Firstly because I feel he is going through a lot at the moment, so breaking the news that I am mated to his best friend who broke his trust is not going to make him feel better anytime soon.

“Please can we talk about that some other time?” I said nonchalantly, just to persuade him not to try and push the subject any further.

I can see him try to hesitate a bit but soon brushes it aside.

“They sent another letter,” he said holding up a piece of paper I didn't know he was holding the entire time.

“What does it say this time,”

“They want me to put on a mask during the combat and I sort of have a bad feeling about that,” he said plainly.

“Why would they ask you to put on a mask,”

“I have no idea”

“I always had a feeling that they were up to something, and I am happy that you are beginning to see what I was telling you,”

“So what do you suggest we do,” he asked.

That moment meant a lot to me because for the first time Alexander was seeking my counsel. I felt honored as I was no longer that worthless piece of trash that nobody wanted, but now I am a man that even kings rely on for counsel.

“We play along with their game till we can attest that of truth your mate is in there with them in the park. After then, we can give them the show of their life” I said to him staring at him deep in the eyes.
