2024-10-29 19:42:56"I had told you never to appear in front of me again, but you disregarded my warning and came here yourself, even appearing in my room all alone like this" Leigh said as he grabbed my neck making me drop the bucket in my hand.
"Please let me go" I said grabbing his arms on my neck but he tightened his grip and was actually strangling me. I struggled to escape but I couldn't. Was I really going to die like this? I couldn't even utter a word as his arms pressed out every air in my throat. How did it come to this? I tried to recall as my life flashed before my eyes. It all started during that damned marking ceremony.
~~~~~
"Iris, why are you standing over there looking lost? Get those flowers to the table quickly!" Madam Maureen yelled, and I snapped back to reality.
"Yes, ma'am," I replied politely with a smile. "Why does she always have to yell? No wonder she couldn't find a mate," I said silently to myself.
I picked up the flowers and arranged them quickly. The ceremony was starting soon. It was a marking ceremony where an alpha announces his mate publicly before marking her privately. It was like a wedding ceremony that only the rich and powerful got to partake in. I imagined myself having such a ceremony too, but that was almost impossible. Although I already had a special someone who I hoped to be mated with, I couldn't dream of such a thing because I was a low-level omega.
"The ceremony is commencing. Everyone, go to your assigned spot!" Madam Maureen yelled, and all the other workers and I immediately located our various spots.
I was a server at the event, and as a low-level omega, it was hard to find a proper job as those were reserved for the higher species. I walked around and served wine to the guests. It was not a hard task because I was used to it. Although Archie, my boyfriend, had specifically told me not to go out today but to rest since I have had to work all week, I couldn't miss out on this gig because the pay was good.
Soon, the pair to be mated were invited to the stage. This part always excited me, so I hurriedly served a few more drinks as I walked forward so I could take a look at the new couple, and to my greatest surprise,
"Archie," I whispered softly. What was he doing here, and why is he standing at the front as if he's the one to be mated? What was going on? I couldn't wrap my head around it; I felt a little dizzy, so I dropped the tray in my hand. It made a loud sound, and everyone looked at me. Archie caught sight of me and quickly looked away.
"Who dares disrupt the ceremony?" Luka Lane said in an overpowering voice. He was the leader of his pack and the father of the omega to be mated.
Madam Maureen rushed forward to apologize and quickly dragged me away.
"What is wrong with you? Why do you always cause problems? I should never have employed you for this job. Do you know who you offended? What if I don't get more jobs because of your carelessness?" She said it agitatedly as she pulled me outside. I was out of it for a few minutes before I recovered from the shock.
"Is Archie the one to be mated?" I asked, still in disbelief.
"It's Archie Addams; call the name right if you want to keep your head, young girl," she said warningly. She looked at me and saw that her reply was not what I wanted to hear.
"Yes, he is to be mated with Ethel Lane, and this is their mating ceremony," she said finally, and my world came crashing down. How on Earth could this happen? I was with him only yesterday, and just now, inside, he couldn't even spare me a glance.
My heart ached, and I ran. I didn't know where I was running, but I just ran towards the door, and Madam Maureen called after me, probably surprised by my sudden weird behavior. As I made for the door with tears in my eyes, I suddenly bumped into something hard; it was a man, probably a guest. The tears in my eyes made everything so blurry that I couldn't see properly.
"Watch where you are going," a harsh voice said to me.
I looked up, and all I could see were the deep maroon eyes staring at me sharply. It felt like these pairs of eyes could see right through me. He smelled of sweet spices and he had a dominating aura around him. He raised a brow as he noticed how hard I stared.
"I'm so sorry" I kindly apologized and excused myself but he held my hands and handed me an handkerchief with a T symbol engraved on it.
"Wipe your tears" he said coldly before walking away.
I stared at his back as he walked away from me. I sniffled into the handkerchief and it had his scent on it. It was calming but it couldn't take away the hurt in my heart.

I went home and cried my eyes out.I was part of the low class omegas known as the Forsaken. It is said that we were abandoned by the Moon goddess hence the name. We didn't go through heat and were often mistreated. I was probably the only forsaken who experienced heat due to my pheromones imbalance and my father had ensured I kept it a secret. Most alphas wanted nothing to do with us Forsakens as it was seen as a disgrace to have a Forsaken as an official mate.I cried myself to sleep, wondering how I would be able to survive such betrayal.The next day, I woke up late with puffy eyes. Amelia had knocked at my door several times in an attempt to wake me up, but I had no energy to get up.It was late afternoon, and I was really hungry, so I had to get up and eat something. I went to the kitchen and rummaged through, but only found an egg, half-eaten sausage, and two slices of bread. I had to make do with just that. I lazily prepared my food, and as I was about to eat, I felt a sharp p

He picked me up from the ground and carried me through the long corridor. He smelled of sweet spices, and his scent calmed me down. This was not my first time experiencing heat, but this was the first time I was close to an alpha during my heat period. My body desired things it shouldn't, and I couldn't control it.He took me to a room, which was probably his, and laid me on the bed."Rest up," he said curtly, and he attempted to leave.I jumped up and enveloped him in an embrace. His scent was so calming, and I didn't want to let go."Please help me," I whispered into his ears softly."Little Omega, don't tempt me," he said in a low tone, almost in a whisper.I buried my head on his shoulder so I could take in more of his scent.He suddenly held my neck in place."You asked for this," he said before he dug his fangs through my skin and bit my nape. I felt a sharp pain, but shortly after, a feeling of ecstasy followed. My body got numb, and before I could feel anything else, I passed

I was left there, confused by what I had just experienced. How did I end up being marked and misunderstood at the same time? What was his name again, "Leigh"? How do I explain myself? He wouldn't even believe me. I didn't have the strength for the emotions I was feeling now. I should be feeling heartbroken because of Archie's betrayal, but the feeling of such a misunderstanding overshadowed my feelings of heartbreak.I collected myself and quickly went home. I went straight to my room and didn't answer at all when Amelia called out to me, probably to inquire why I didn't come home last night and didn't bother to call.I went straight to the bathroom and jumped into the bathtub. I could still smell him on me. It was faint but still intoxicating."Leigh," I said to myself, touching my nape lightly before smacking my head to snap out of it. Maybe if I scrubbed hard enough, I'd be able to get the smell of the alpha off my skin, but no matter how much I scrubbed, the smell still lingered.

I called dad, but he was unavailable. He called back and apologized because he was at a meeting in the clinic. He said he would be coming home tonight, and he wanted to talk to me.I went home and laid on my bed, thinking about what Madam Maureen had said and how I'd present the issue to my dad. I also had to explain to him where I had slept last night. I had no friends, so I couldn't lie that I had spent a night at a friend's house.I also had this scent lingering around me. What if he sniffs it out? I couldn't bear to think about what he would say about me being marked by a random alpha. I dreaded his return home. I put on lots of perfume in an attempt to conceal the scent, and I hoped it worked.He finally arrived with a big bag of groceries. He sorted them out and made dinner. He called for Amelia and me to come eat. It was a very quiet dinner, as no one opened their mouths to speak to each other. It was always like there was a large, suffocating wall that separated us. After dinn

~A Day Earlier~"Welcome to the Troy household." Miss Felice said with a bright smile on her face.My luck couldn't be this bad right? Maybe it was a different Troy. I looked around nervously as I already had a bad feeling. There was a knot in my stomach that made me uncomfortable."Compose yourself." Miss Felice said strictly to me. She probably noticed how uncomfortable I was.We were led to the servant quarters. We lined up in an orderly manner and older servants were called to welcome us.Miss Felice was the head servant and a B ranked omega. She had probably worked in this household for two generations. She looked very strict and carried herself with pride. She walked around inspecting the quarters and other servants were reporting activities that had occurred during her absence. She finally remembered the existence of the newly hired servants and walked towards us to probably give a speech about how lucky we were to be in such a household."It is a great honour to be chosen to s

I layed on my bed pondering about all I've heard from the girls today. I have never really concerned myself with the affairs of the higher species and I was bad at names to the extent I didn't know about the influential families. I only knew about the Addams because that was Archie's family. I have always thought they were very Noble but I just found out today that they are not so powerful. Archie is really impressive, and he probably wants to raise the status of his family. This is something I can't help him with. As much as I want to hate him, I also want to understand him.As a kid, I have heard stories about the Ultima who is destined to be the most powerful werewolf and will lead all the pack. The Ultima is said to possess the power of the primordial werewolf as he will be a reincarnation of Kushim. Kushim was the very first of our kind created by the moon goddess. He was omnipotent and lived for thousands of years before he was taken back by the moon goddess. It is believed that

We arrived at the quarter and it was larger than I had expected. It had a large sitting room with a private bar at the far corner.The bedroom was spacious and brightly lit and the floor covered with plush carpets. There was an organised study table mounted with arranged paper works, and a super computer.There was even a walk-in closet with custom organizers and shelves. The walls and bedsheets were bright colors of red mixed with dark grey. There was a mini library and a private balcony with exotic flowers and a Scarlet macaw in a cage up in the balcony.It had a warm and welcoming vibe to it. With how bright this room seemed to be, it couldn't possibly belong to the Alpha master everyone was dreading so I became more at ease.We shared ourselves and began cleaning. The masters were still at breakfast and if we clean fast enough we wouldn't need to run into them at all. We finished up quickly and decided to head back. Getting to the stairs, I realized I had forgotten a mop bucket in

"Hurry up!" She demanded.She led me to the garden at the back of the house and I walked slowly behind her. It was already evening and a bit dark in this part of the house, someone could be easily murdered here and no one would know."Over there." she said pointing. "I can only accompany you to this point." she said as she turned to leave."What! Why can't you go with me?" I said grabbing her arms."Why are you overreacting?" she said with a shocked expression on her face."Please I can't possibly go alone." I said pleading with my soul."Jeez, let go already, and hurry up before the master gets annoyed." she said forcefully escaping my grip as she walked away.I saw a silhouette at the other end of the garden. I searched around for anything I could use to defend myself and I saw a stick on the ground which I grabbed quickly. A stick was probably useless against this fierce Alpha but I could at least inflict some injuries on him. I walked slowly towards him with the stick close to me.

I floated in a void and it was hard to breathe. I struggled till I finally found my balance. "Here again?" I muttered to myself as I walked the familiar path and was met with the same woman that has been appearing in my dreams almost every night.I still couldn't understand what she was saying, but I knew it was something very important."Remember!" She whispered before a whirlwind blew me away and I woke up abruptly, panting heavily.I looked around and I found myself in the comfort of my own room. I sighed as I sat up and rubbed my eyelids with my palms. I tried to move, but I hissed in pain as I was still sore from last night's activity in the garden.I felt drained and tired, with my body still humming from the memories of last night's passion with Leigh. The sunlight streaming from the window seemed too bright, that I winced as I turned to look the other way. I stretched, yawned, and swung my legs over the side of the bed, with my feet dangling in the air.I went to the bathroom

It was probably 10pm or something. I wasn't exactly sure because I drifted off to sleep after Anne tucked me in and I hadn't gotten up since then. The vibration of my phone woke me up."Ugh," I sighed as my head began to throb. I reached for my phone and saw an incoming call from Leigh. Immediately, I sat up before picking up."Hello." I said carefully."Iris." He said in the calmest of voice and my previous anger and dissatisfaction with him watched away as if it was never there."Can we meet up?" He asked."Now?," I glanced over at Anne's side and she was tucked in with her earpods in, probably watching a movie. "Okay." I said as I climbed out of bed.My movement alerted Anne as she turned her attention to me. "Going somewhere?" She asked taking one bud out of her ear."Yeah. I'll be back shortly." I smiled as I put on something simple but nice. I headed to his mother's garden. He didn't have to tell me that that's where he'd be before I could go, because I could probably read his

I haven't seen or heard from Leigh all day. I was really worried and unhappy about this. I would be going back home tomorrow, so I had hoped I would be able to at least speak with him today. I sighed as I made my way back to my room. Since he isn't picking up his call, I should probably go finish packing up and sleep for a while. I headed down the corridor when someone pulled my arms to the side. Shocked and alarmed, I turned back with my fist in the air, it could be another attack, but I was surprised to see Miss Clarisse."You..!" I said shocked. "What do you want?"Her eyes scanned me as she stared as my fist. "Oh, sorry, I thought it was someone bad." I laughed awkwardly as I dropped my hands and stood properly.She just stared at me without saying anything which greatly surprised me. "Uh, do you need anything?" I asked just in case, but she was awfully quiet, but the next thing she did greatly shocked me. She started sniffing me."Hey!" I pushed her off as she grabbed my arms ho

Who could this important guest be? I started on my way and followed the other servants to the entrance, curiosity got the better of me. Who was this important guest that had everyone scrambling?Upon arrival, we formed two precise single file lines, with guards at the front and Miss Felice leading the way."Who is the guest?" I asked the girl besides me."I don't know exactly, I just followed the others here. But it seems like someone important." She said."By the look of things, this guest would probably stay here since we have been asked to come welcome them." The other one by my side whispered."Yeah, true. This was also how we welcomed that snake Miss Eleanor." One said."Hey, don't call her that." I shot at her.She hissed in displeasure. "I can say what I want. And stop acting so noble." She spat.I turned from her because it was clear she only wanted trouble."Is it male or female? I just want to know." Another whispered and thus the gossips started."What if it's a woman? May

I felt myself floating in an endless void, I felt disoriented and I didn't know what I was doing here, or how I got to this place. My feet landed on the ground and my footing balanced."Hello?" I called out looking around, but my voice echoed back.I moved forward, searching for a reference point, but there was nothing, only emptiness. Suddenly, a figure materialized in the distance. A woman stood at the center, with her back to me."Excuse me," I said, approaching her. "Where am I?"She didn't turn it speak to me, but just stood with her back to me.I paused before going forward. "Sorry to bother you, I just want to know where I am. I am lost." I said to her while still approaching her.The woman turned to me suddenly. Our eyes met and familiarity struck me instantly, but I knew we had never met before."Who are you?" I asked as I was having this strange feeling.In a flash, the woman stood inches from me, but I could swear she was standing far away a few seconds ago.Her skin trans

Finally, me and the girls were done. It was a total mess in here. I couldn't help but wonder what sort of grown adult would mess with books and leave them scattered everywhere."I'm hungry, let's go find something to eat." One of the girls suggested and the other supported with a nod."I'll go handle something first before joining you guys." I said and they made fun of me thinking I was going back to talk to Leigh, but I was actually going back to find Miss Felice.I stepped out of the library, with my resignation letter clutched in my hand. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the conversation ahead. I did tell her that I had nothing to say before, but now, Leigh thinks it's a good idea to stop working here.I headed straight to her office, hopefully she was in. I knocked softly and let myself in when I heard her say 'come in' from inside."Ah! Iris, what brings you here?" She said lifting her head from a pile of paper work in front of her. She was busy calculating all the expen

As I walked away, a force pulled me back in place. I spun around, startled for a brief second before I got my composure. Leigh stood before me, his eyes blazing anger."Shit!" I whispered to myself. For a moment, I wondered if he had seen me hug Chad. A misunderstanding was the last thing I wanted right now between us."Leigh, what's wrong?" I asked carefully, trying to sound calm."Are you still seeing him?" he demanded, his tone rough and my yes shone."What do you mean?" I backed up a little.He moved closer in an intimidating way. "I am asking if you are still going in between Chad and I?" He scowled and I bristled."How dare you," I snapped at him. "You have no right to say that to me. Do I look like some cheap harlot that double dates? Hell, we aren't even in a relationship." I shot at him immediately and his expression changed as he realized he just fucked up."Look I..." "If you are going to keep talking to me this way then you better leave." I cut him off. Why does he always
Alpha's Pure Blood Mate: The Forsaken Chapter 126
I should really stop entertaining this kind of conversations and exchanges to not give anyone a wrong impression or false hope. I do not know if he's serious about his advances or not, but I have to avoid him too."Iris," Miss Felice called out to me and I hurried to meet up with her."Madam?" I said and she had this look on her face that was hard to put into words. She just stared at me for a quick second before opening her mouth to speak."You are one lucky girl Iris." She said in a rather fond tone which greatly amazed me."Ah!" Was all I could say because I didn't know how to react. She moved closer to me and placed her hands on my shoulder."Leigh is a child I watch grow up. He knows nothing about love, but since he has chosen to love you, and the goddess also seems to be in your favour, I hope you do not disappoint him." She smiled softly and I nodded."Oh, I remember you said you had something to tell me. You can say it now." She said and the words got stuck in my throat. I did

"Okay father. But I have to process my resignation. I cannot just up and leave." I said trying to sound reasonable and thankfully he listened to me."Okay." He sighed. "In two days time, I will come to pick you up. By then, everything should have been sorted out right?" He asked and I nodded."Okay dear, I will return to the hospital now. Please stay away from trouble my dear child." He patted my head and I smiled as I hugged him tightly."Bye dad." I said and he hugged me back before going his way. As I watched him leave, I clenched the resignation letter I already had prepared in my pocket. I had wanted to leave because I thought I had lost Leigh forever, but that wasn't the case now. I wanted to stay. I finally have a chance. But now, father wants me back home. What was I going to do now?"Iris!" Anne called me as she rushed towards me. "Are you okay? I heard that you were involved in a fist fight? I hope you won? Is it true that Eleanor wasn't carrying Leigh's child? So no more U
