Marie's pov.
raising my eyes to meet with him, the gaze in them and colour shining so bright.
I feel my heart thud hard against my chest, Fear gripping me as I feel an uneasiness within myself.
Why is he staring hard at me in such a manner? Perhaps there are things he intends to tell me, or could it he knows already,
Is he seeing things about me, does he know I cheated? Are the signs of my pregnancy already becoming so obvious?
Still unable to think clearly or say a word, I swallow hard not wanting a problem of any kind.
I avert my gaze from him immediately as I try walking past me, he holds my hands pulling me back towards him.
"Is anything wrong?" Eric asked as though he knew there was something up with me already.
I strolled around passing I'm at the net at the end of the corridor away from prying eyes, everyone had been so occupied with the coronation of the alpha king that I doubt there would be anyone walking past this corridor any moment from now.
"Are you so sure about this?" I ask no one but myself, the rate at which my heart beats increases insanely.
I don't think I can brace myself while being around him, although we've both accepted the rejection and the mate home is severed. That doesn't put off the feelings I had longed for him.
Although I know many different things would go on happening, I can tell the difference already.
But then I should steer away from him, he may have rejected me but I took things and gave my body to another man not so long after, that very same night.
Although It is something that was bound to happen but not that same day, it is way too much I had gone to extreme lengths I know but it's that pointless the has had do to the same
"Is anything bothering you?" Asking once more with a worried expression and tone then recalling how he had done the same in the past, I believed he was the nicest person at that point little did I know it was going to be this way.
"no, I'm fine thanks" I respond as I jerk my arms off and away from his grip.
"I've been meaning to speak with you," he says, cutting into my feelings again. What more could he want to do today?
That I leave him? That I run far off when I see him or that I ought to act like I do not know him when we meet.
Apart from those minor thoughts which I had instilled in my head, there was no other option.
"Why can't you just let me be? My whole life had been messed up before your eyes and you came into my life acting all nice warm and cosy shit,Then you find out I'm your mate and boom the next minute you reject me without talking about how I feel but it doesn't matter does it? I'm merely an omega and nothing more matters so please do let me be,I have zero spare time to speak with the lights of you, do me well and let me be in peace it's hard enough trying to save face and survive everyday impending death from your sister"
I have such relief on letting it all out, I could hardly believe I had spiked in such a manner,
My hormones seemed to have acted out on their own and this rimshot suits me weak to perfection, I can still see the stunned look on Eric's face.
We've been cool for a long time and I had always been sure-shot be on my tone around him with my manners checked and in place,
Knowing there is no much need for any of those after all it had been a one-sided love for a long time.
Now I'm finally ranting and getting angry at myself. He's perplexed, u had never lashed out at him even when I felt so much from having to love someone who would never notice.
It's way too easy, way too hard, and way too confusing as I find it all complicated.
"I'm sorry I had no idea you were in a bad mood and you do have a temper," he says, feeling slightly inconvenienced.
I hate that I make him feel this way but then I should set the ground oughta and straight as risky as it can be right now.
I want to have the mind to mob and walk freely in and around any now, anywhere, and with anyone, it's to be stuck with someone like Eric.
"Well yeah, I do have a temper. I've always had a temper so suck it up" I say to him, liking how riled up he is at the moment.
He must have thought there would be little to no consequence for rejecting someone like me,
I thought the same thing too but I just can't understand why he keeps hovering around me, things keep being pointless.
"Well go on, if you have anything to say to me I'm all ears" I finally responded wanting to give him a chance at listening to him and having set straight into my mind.
"I feel. the need to apologize I could not take you as a mate and I do know it had been a terrible experience for you but trust me I have reasons"
I scoff loudly when hearing him call out having reasons. It's one simple thing: he didn't want a mate like me, a weak nobody.
"it's not what you think Marie I swear, it is not just because you are an omega" he choruses me causing a giggle to escape my lips.
"Okay let's say I believe the lie you just told me, then what could be your reason? " I ask with a skirt on my face.
"I'm sick Marie, I didn't want to tell you before"
