"S-slut??"
"Yes, don't think it's possible to hide your scent now. You always spread that scent around, and I trusted that sorry excuse of an alpha to have some self control, but I clearly was wrong."
My fault, and I had to admit it. Sara was an omega with problems regarding controlling her pheromones, which made her the target of bullying wherever she went.
By fellow omegas, as she was seducing their partners. By alphas, as they wanted to have her. And for betas, she was just a weakling who acted like an attention slut.
During those hellish days for her, I was the one who saved her. I probably shouldn't have, but what will crying over spilled milk do?
"William, answer me already. Stop acting like a coward and spit it out."
My eyes were fixed on William, waiting for his response. It was infuriating to see how he acted now when he would always pretend to be the bravest soul around.
"Okay… If you want that so badly, I'll say it. I'm breaking up with you, Emma."
'Want? Wow, how could he be so shameless?'
Even though I expected that, even though I wanted to be ready for it, the blow was still heavy.
My world seemed to be too heavy at once, it made me feel so weak, hopeless, and helpless.
"Was this your decision?" I asked, my gaze falling on my ex best friend the next moment, "Or, perhaps the slut didn't feel okay with having to steal in secret, and wanted to brag about her pathetic 'victory'?"
"Stop insulting my mate!" that guy actually dared to shout at me, how amusing, "It was all my decision. So what? I and Sara will be together forever. If you didn't know, she's actually carrying my baby. Unlike you who kept refusing our bond."
'The actual fuck are you on?'
Yeah, my judgment was worse than wrong. Getting together with this feeble alpha who didn't think of anything but his dick was the most terrible choice I've made in my entire life.
It wasn't too late to fix it, though.
"Get out of here."
"Emma–!"
"Get out of here, you pieces of filth."
William stared at me with wide eyes, actually having the audacity to be shocked by my actions. But soon, his expression hardened and he helped Sara up. Be resolutely moved toward the door, however, he faltered at the end.
'Shouldn't expect anything better from you for sure.'
"Get your butt moving already."
"Emma… Please let me talk with you, just the two of us. I have something important to say."
"I have no reason to do that, though."
"Just for our memories, please…"
'I really don't have anything to say to this pathetic alpha, and I probably shouldn't even bother listening to him, but…'
It was a fact that every relationship should end cleanly. So, listening to his last explanation should be good enough.
"Alright, but make it quick. I have no reason to listen to you after this. Everyone, please retreat."
Sara, albeit hesitated, left the room and the bodyguards left behind her. They stood alert next to the door after closing it, ready to come to my aid if ever needed.
Folding my arms across my chest, I arched my eyebrow at William. No more words should be wasted on him, he could understand my gestures.
"I know you're angry," he started, and wow his voice became so gentle and tender, as if coaxing a child. "And I've hurt you, I can't say otherwise. But Emma… Mistakes happen."
"..."
"Yes… I accidentally slept with Sara, and she's now carrying my pup. How could I throw her away? Moreover, she became emotionally unstable due to her pregnancy. And I saw this chance."
"Wow," I gasped, utterly amazed, "I didn't know you could be this shameless. Dear filthy alpha, are you now saying it's the omega's fault for having an imbalanced pheromones?"
Although Sara was in the wrong, too, William was the main culprit in this case.
"Emma, just hear me out! I can't stand to leave you, I don't care what you may think of me."
"You should though."
I snapped back, staring at him with a dark gaze, "If I see you as nothing but filthy bastard, why would I think about ever staying with you?"
"That—"
With a pair of hollow eyes, William stumbled back and fell on his ass. He shook uncomfortably and bit his lip, "C-Can't we simply be together? The three of us? We can keep our relationship secret until Sara give birth to the baby safely."
"Ah for fuck sake! Get out of here, you useless alpha! You are out of your mind!"
This stupid shit wanted me to play the house game with him and his lover while being the hidden mistress, this level of audacity was astonishing to say the least.
After hearing my shout, the guards opened the door and came inside to drag this faceless alpha out of my sight. With a deep sigh, my eyes closed as I heard the couple being dragged out by the guards.
That day was longer than I wished for it to be.
━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━
So many things haunted me harshly that day, making me unable to sleep. It was already nighttime, but William's betrayal, his lies, and that thick skin to support his audacious request, were swinging around, reminding me of my idiocy to almost choose William as my mate.
'So drained,' I complained to myself. Spending hours of self blame and reflection was not the best for this condition, so I finally pulled myself together.
Whatever had happened had happened. There was no helping it at all, and obviously, no chances for Emma to talk with Feebas before it.
A knock was heard on my door, and I frowned. It was too late, couldn't I just wish for someone to open it for me? I wish my life was that level of fantasy.
Either way, I dragged my weak body and opened the door, only to pause at the handsome face who was smiling gently at me.
"Hello Ms. Emma, we met again."
'Who are you…?'
In the same day I thought everything in my life paused, a new person appeared to drag me into a special part of my life.
