Ready To Embrace Death

I stumbled into my cabin, tears streaming down my face as I slammed the door shut behind me. This was supposed to be my place of solace, the one place where I could go to escape the chaos of the outside world. But now, even here, I can't escape the pain of rejection.

I collapsed into my bed, burying my face in my pillow as I let out a cry of pain. My heart was shattered beyond repair and I wondered if I was ever going to get through this.

How could they have done this to me? How could they have rejected me, after all that we'd been through together as kids?

Rory, Rex, and Ray had been my childhood friends but they turned their backs on me like everyone else after I lost my parents and they were accused of a crime they didn't commit. Who would plead their cause and fight for their innocence?

I most definitely can't because no one would want to hear me out. To them I'd always be the daughter of traitors.

The Caddel triplets and I had grown up together, shared everything together, and promised to be there for each other no matter what. And yet, the moment I lost my parents they turned to the very monsters they promised to protect me from.

I couldn't understand it. I knew they hated me but I never knew they hated me this much. A part of me hoped that there was a little part of them that still cared for me. But I was wrong. They totally loathed me and took pleasure in seeing me in pain. I could remember the joy in their eyes as I writhed in pain from their rejection.

The more I thought about it, the more confused and hurt I felt. How could they have rejected me? Did their hatred for me made them oblivious to the electric spark and chemistry between us? I thought we were supposed to be soulmates, destined to be together forever.

I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. But the pain was still there, throbbing in my chest like a physical ache. I felt so alone, so lost, like I had no one to turn to.

But then, a small voice in the back of my head reminded me that I did have someone to turn to. Someone who would always be there for me, no matter what.

Myself, Emerald and Alpha Ryder.

I sat up on my bed, wiping away my tears as I looked around my small cabin. This was my space, my sanctuary, and I needed to remember that I was strong enough to handle this on my own.

I took another deep breath and stood up, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I was going to get through this. I was going to pick myself up, dust myself off, and move forward, no matter how much it hurt.

Because that's what being strong meant. It meant facing your fears head-on, even when it felt like the world was crashing down around you.

I walked over to the window, looking out at the forest beyond. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the trees, and I felt a sense of peace wash over me. The world was still turning, still moving forward, and so was I.

I took one last deep breath and turned away from the window, resolved to face whatever came my way and fight this pain in my heart. Because no matter how much it hurt, no matter how much it felt like the end of the world, I knew that I had to keep moving

Mama always said: "there is light at the end of the tunnel." I was going to find that light.

I knew I had to talk to someone about this, to get it off my chest and pour out all of my worries as well. And the only person I could think of was Emerald.

I wiped away my tears and reached for my communication device, tapping in Emerald's's number and waiting for her to pick up.

"Hey, Daphne, what's up?" Emerald's voice came through the speaker, and I took a deep breath, trying to steady my voice.

"I, uh, I need to talk to you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Sure thing," Emerald said, her tone soft and understanding. "What's wrong? Are you ok?"

I took a deep breath and told her everything, from how her brothers turned out to be my mates. Yes, Emerald was their junior sister. I also told her about the rejection of my mates to the pain and confusion I was feeling. I told her about the doubts that were creeping in, the fear that I wasn't good enough, and the sense of loneliness that had taken hold of me.

As I talked, Emerald listened, offering words of comfort and support. She reminded me that rejection was a part of life, and that it didn't define me or my worth as a person. She told me that I was strong enough to handle this.

"My brothers are dicks. They are trying to break you, don't you dare give them the satisfaction of seeing you broken. Even if the whole pack is against you, you have me, you have my dad and you have your late parents, rooting for you." A tear escaped my eyes at her consoling words.

She was right, my parents were rooting for me and I couldn't disappoint them.

"One more thing, rejection is a key to redirection." I nodded, feeling better than u did before

And then, as I began to calm down, she asked me about my pet, lightening up my mood.

"So, how is Hua? I still don't get why you will give him a weird name like that," she asked about my pet, a Chihuahua, grumbling.

I couldn't help but let out a laugh, despite the pain and turmoil I was feeling. "That was the only name I could come up with," I said, my voice still shaking a little. "And it's the most beautiful name I've ever heard."

She scoffed and I could feel her rolling her eyes over there.

I heard the sound of power bikes approachinging my house and I rushed to the window to see who it was. People hardly venture to this area.

"Seems you have visitors," Emerald chimed and I hummed in response.

They were three power bikes stationed in front of my house and my stomach knotted in nervousness, having an idea of who they were.

They took their helmets off and a grasp escaped my 4 their attention to my window. I immediately shut the windows, feeling nauseated.

"Were they here to apologize?"

"I'll talk to you later Emerald," I rushed my words, dumping the phone on the table as I rushed out to meet them.

"Rory," my breath hitched as I came face to face with him on my doorstep.

He glared at me and I could see that he wanted nothing but to get rid of me. They weren't here to apologize. My mood immediately dampened as I glanced at Rex and Ray who were both standing behind him with an expressionless face.

"Why are you here?" I shuttered, facing the ground, scared to stare into his eyes.

"Didn't your parents teach you to invite your visitors in first," Rex leered at me and I flinched back in fear.

"You seem to be forgetting something here bro, her parents are six feet under the ground where they belong. Who could possibly teach her manners? Ray giggled and my heart clenched in pain.

"Don't talk about my parents like that?" I sobbed, unable to fight the tears and I saw Rex smile seeing me crying.

Rory, not uttering a word to me, pushed me out of the way, stepping into my cabin. Ray followed suit, kicking my leg out of the way and I winced in pain.

Rex followed suit and he grabbed me by the nape of my shirt, dragging me like an animal. I writhed under his hold trying to free myself but it was useless. He was too strong for me.

He shut the door behind him and tossed on the floor without any care in the world.

"How dare you make our father yell at us? Who do you think you are to think you can show up in our party as our mate and think we would accept you" Rory sneered in my face and Ray giggled.

"She is way below my taste, she has no booty," Rex grabbed me by my  hands, turning me roughly and spanking my butss making pain to rake through my body.

"Please stop," I begged, tearfully.

"I should record this. This would make a nice video once posted," Ray said gleefully, bringing our house phone and my heart dropped down to my stomach.

"Even her chest is as flat as plywood," Rory scoffed and Rex flipped me over again, my eyes meeting with his and he squeezed my breast.

"She is not that flat but she isn't my type, a maid is far better than her."

Unable to take the embarrassment anymore, I pushed Rex away, making the biggest mistake of my life.

"Did you just push Rex?" Rory growled in my face menacingly.

"What do you have that you're trying to protect?" He grabbed hold of my shirt and ripped it off. My hands immediately flew to my chest trying to cover my breast.

"You dare push me because of this thing you can breast," Rex grabbed my hands, pulling them away from my chest as I struggled.

He grabbed hold of my two breasts and squeezed them, making me wince in pain. "They are too small in my hands and not big enough. You think you can be our mate and have a breast  smaller than your IQ?

"Please stop," I cried out in pain. Ray giggled, enjoying the show as he videoed his brothers humiliating me.

"Look, she is wet," Rory said, touching my clit and I squirmed in his hold.

"What do you say we give her a treat of how we treat worthless things like her?" Rex smiled Maliciously and Rory and Ray grinned, loving the idea.

"Please don't do this," I tried begging them but they paid me no attention.

"Remember this, you are worthless," Rory spat at me, pushing four of his fingers into me at once and I let out a blood curdling scream.

"This is the best moan of the century," Ray said grinning.

They kept torturing me and all I could do was to scream and beg them to stop. They eventually stopped after they got tired.

"This is how worthless things like your should be treated," Rex spat at me, disgusted and I simply cried, unable to move.

Rory's eyes went to the necklace on my neck, a gift from my mother and he ripped it off.

"No, please don't take that," I cried out again. They couldn't take the last thing I have from my mom.

"This is eye-catching, you probably stole it so we will be retrieving it. Never show yourself to us again, you disgust us," Rory eyed me like I was dirt and I continued crying, my eyes on the necklace in his hands.

"This was fun, time to leave brothers," Ray dropped his phone and they all turned to leave, Rory leaving with my necklace.

I pushed myself up and ran after them. They can't take away my necklace, no they can't.

"Please, give me back my necklace," I cried, running after them barefooted.

They all laughed, taking pleasure in seeing me in tears." Catch us if you can," Rory smirked and they sped off.

I ran after them crying, broken and humiliated till I could see them no more. They led me into the main road and disappeared into the crowd.

How could they do this to me? After rejecting me, they abused me and took away my necklace, my only source of joy.

I lost the strength to fight.

They were right about one thing, I was worthless. A worthless Omega.

Tears still streaming down my face, I walked into the road limping. I didn't care anymore, I wanted to go join my parents.

I heard the loud honking of a vehicle asking me to get out of the way but I stood rooted to the ground, unmoving.

I closed my eyes, ready to embrace death.
