Chapter 2 : Banished

 

A few minutes after the unsettling announcement, Susie stepped out to answer a phone call, leaving me and Knox alone for a moment.

Knox looked at me and sighed, “I know that this must have come as a shock for you, but you should have expected it Melissa. It was always going to happen. You should have already known that I would eventually choose a wife to marry.”

At this point, I could no longer hold back my tears, and they were now dripping down my face.

“Yes,” I whispered, “I expected it, but I didn’t think you would choose my sister,” I sobbed.

Knox rolled his eyes at me. “Does it make a difference whether it is your sister or any other woman? Why should I care about your opinion when I choose a bride?”

I looked at him in shock. How could he be this cold to me? When we had sex, he used to hold me like he never wanted to let go. He used to kiss me like he could never get enough. But now, he suddenly didn’t care at all?

“It’s my fault then.” I sniffed. “I thought you cared. I knew you didn’t love me, but I thought you at least cared a little.”

Knox snorted. “Don't be stupid Omega. Why would I care about you? You have no wolf, no power, you’re no important, and you have no influence. You are just a common pauper who is a liability to the whole pack. Why would I care about someone like you?” he said, and I could not believe that this was the same man who lavished me with kisses almost every night.

But Knox continued as if nothing was wrong. “So, you is there something you to say to Menow or should I move on with my day?” he asked, and I froze.

What was I supposed to say now? Was I supposed to still tell him that I was also pregnant and expecting his child while he was planning to get married to my sister?

That would be crazy.

Knox looked at me. “I know that our arrangement is coming to an end now that your mother is healthy and is about to be discharged from the hospital, but I want to let you know that neither that nor this marriage has to change anything about our arrangement. I plan to still keep you as my pet,” he declared and my eyes widened. “Most men tend to dispose of their playthings when they are getting married, but you are lucky that I am a generous man. You will still remain with me as my pet. Just keep pleasuring me whenever I want, and I will give you the most comfortable life you have ever dreamed of.” He declared.

I stared at him in shock. How could he say such a thing? Especially now that he was getting married to my sister?

“Why?” I asked. “You are already getting married to my sister and you’re expecting a child with her. Why would you still want me?”

He smirked, and his eyes roved over my body slowly.

“The answer is simple, Melissa. It’s because you are a good fuck and you are always eager and ready to please me whenever I ask. It’s not easy to find a pet as obedient as you these days.” He said. “And not to mention the fact that you are very hardworking. That is very important too because, as you already know, Susie would need a hardworking maid to help her around the house, and who would be a better fit than her Omega sister?” He said and stared at him in shock.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He still wanted to keep me as a pet and as my sister's maid.

No, maid is not the right word to use. I wouldn’t be Susie’s maid; I would be her slave.

I could already picture the future. If I let this happen, I would be Susie’s slave for the rest of my life. She would probably torture me until I died, and then, when I was gone, she would torment my child too.

I could see it vividly, but I couldn’t let that happen, not even for my sake but for my child’ssake. I couldn’t let him or her grow up under someone as cruel and as heartless as Susie. I couldn’t do that.

So, I gathered my courage, looked Alpha Knox in the eyes and said, “No.”

Knox slowly looked up at me and leaned forward. “What did you just say Omega?” he asked in a dangerously low tone.

The look he was giving me should have made me melt in fear, but the thought of my future child gave me enough strength not to back down.

“I said no Alpha. I will not do it. I will not stay and be a slave while you go off and marry my sister.”

Knox looked more furious than I’d ever seen him in my entire life. “Are you disobeying melissa?” he growled, and I did not dare answer.

“I am your fucking Alpha, and you will do exactly what I say you will do.” He snarled venomously.

I shook my head and took a step back. “I won’t do it. I won’t be your sugar baby anymore. Please, don’t make me.”

Just then, Susie walked back in and sat on Knox’s lap like she belonged there. She looked between us. “What happened? Did I miss something?” She asked.

Knox was glaring at me. “Well,” he answered her, “Melissa here says she no longer wants to work for us.”

Susie eyed me up and down, and her face turned into a sneer. “I told you she was an ungrateful bitch. How can anyone say no to the Alpha? You have to set an example with her or others will start to disobey you too.”

Knox pulled her closer and nodded. “I agree,” he said.

I stood there awaiting my fate as they glared at me like I was a piece of trash on the ground.

“I think you should punish her by banishing her from the pack,” Susie said with a smirk. “Someone who can’t obey you shouldn’t stay and infect the rest of the pack members with their disobedience.” She snapped.

Knox looked stunned for a moment, and I saw a flicker of doubt in his eyes, but that look immediately disappeared and his eyes hardened.

“Melissa Hayden,” he said in his Alpha voice, “you are hereby banished from the Crimson Pack for the rest of your life. You are never to step foot here ever again, and if you break or disobey this command, you will be punished with instant death,” he declared, and a big smile formed on Susie’s face.

Tears streamed down my eyes as he finished speaking, but the only thought in my head was that I hadn't even told him I was pregnant yet he had just banished us for life.
