Chapter 4

• Asona's POV
• “Where were you the entire night?”
• I shot Townsy a glare as she drove us out of the building.
• “But I left you with Shaya.” Shaya remained annoyingly quiet. Looking outside through the car window like she didn't hear anything.
• “Right, Shaya?” I turned to look at her. “Townsy says she left you with me.”
• “I'm sorry, Sonny, I just had to be with Cub”. She glanced at me for a second and turned to look at the window.
• “Of course, I forgot you were on honeymoon” I snickered.
• “You don't have to be so bitter, Sonny. I already said I was sorry.” Shaya responded, her voice slightly raised. She sounded upset. The fact that she was upset made me livid.
• “Oh! I'm the bitter one now?” I said contempt, lacing my voice.
• “Last night was supposed to be about me. But your boyfriend, first off, came to steal the show, and then you both vanished.” I glared at them, fists clenched. Trying to hold in all the pent-up emotion.
• Shaya opened her mouth like she was about to say something, then with a shake of the head faced the same window she had been staring at the whole drive.
• “Sonny please let's stop this. We already apologised. Please. It won't happen again” Townsy intervened.
• I took a deep breath and faced my own side of the window. Thinking about the events of last night made my skin heat up. I could blame them for it. After all, they left me alone.
• I was actually aware of what happened. I was tipsy, but not drunk. There was a part of me that didn't regret a thing. That guy was awesome. He knew how to touch me.
• It was better than the last teenage boy I had been with as a teenager. We were both young, and I had enjoyed it as it was my only experience, and I had none to compare with. That teenage boy happened to be my fated mate, Trey. Thinking of it now, I felt the intimacy led to…”
• “Sona!”
• Townsy called out, interrupting my thoughts.
• She beckoned towards the door, and that's when I took in my surroundings.
• I hadn't realised we had reached the Icemoon pack, my home, my curse.
• I trembled slightly as reality dawned on me as to why I had rushed home.
• I rushed into the little cottage that had become my home since I became an Omega.
• “Granny”
• I rushed to my grandmother's side. Her eyes were closed and her face was as pale as death and her knuckles white. If not for the monitor that showed the rhythm of her heart, I'd have thought her dead.
• The nurse scraped her feet impatiently on the floor. A scowl on her face as she adjusted the blanket.
• I knew she was upset with me
• “I'm sorry Tate” I turned to face her, while holding my grandmother's left hand.
• “I can't believe you left her alone throughout the night."
• She finally spoke up. Her anger evident in the tone of her voice.
• “What if she had died?”
• The thought of my grandmother dieing sent chills through my bones. She was the only one that showed me genuine love and stood by me through my deranking. Until her mate passed away and her poor wolf couldn't take it. She died. Leaving my once lively grandma, sick, powerless and almost lifeless.
• A tear ran down my cheek.
• “I planned to come back. Something happened. I'm really sorry."
• “Well. You are young, so have all the fun you want. You will have even more fun when she's gone. Which is really close now. So live life to the fullest."
• An edge of sarcasm bled through her words.
• I buried my face in my grandmother's chest and sobbed so hard, my chest ached. I lifted my face to see the nurse give me a pitiful look.
• “Try to spend time with her when you can. She'll be gone soon. I give an estimate of 3 weeks or less than."
• A gasp of horror escaped my mouth. As tear after tear ran down my cheek.
• “That close?”
• The nurse nodded.
• “She might never be able to open her eyes again."
• “I…”
• “Asona!" The terrifying voice of the Beta, my worst nightmare, rang through the corridor of the cottage. I wondered often how he had birthed such a kind soul as Townsy.
• “Yes sir” I bowed respectfully at the devil in front of me.
• His fingers landed on my chin and tilted my face upwards to look at him.
• “Why are you not up and about your duties?”
• His breath smelled of whiskey and rotten eggs.
• His lust filled eyes raked all over my body.
• “Because I serve the Alpha directly now and he hasn't sent for me yet."
• I responded, a hint of irritation in my voice.
• I'll see you in the evening, Asona."
• The nurse gave me a friendly tap, eyed the Beta and exited my room.
• “Since you have no use."
• His hands encircled my jaw, forcefully pulling me closer to his face, till his stubble filled jaw pricked my face.
• “You could come serve me personally."
• He gave me a lewd smile as his finger trailed down my cleavage.
• Conniption raised my adrenaline levels and I kicked his groin. I bolted towards the door as he howled in pain, doubling over.
• “You little slut."
• He seethed, his eyes flashing wolf.
• I pack linked my father as I ran towards his study. I could hear the Beta growl behind me as he ran after me. I reached my father's study in time as Pharoah caught up with me.
• “What is it Asona?”
• My father looked bored as his gaze darted from me to his Beta.
• “You can't keep disturbing me. I have more important things to work on”.
• “Nothing serious, Alpha."
• Pharoah said.
• “Daddy he tried to…to touch me."
• I choked back a sob.
• My father cast a disinterested glance at my direction.
• “OMEGAS are touched every now and then. If you don't want to be touched, get yourself a good mate and move up your rank”. He stared pointedly at me.
• My mouth opened in shock at my father's words but no words came out. My heart bled. I thought he still cared about me. Our relationship had severed since I became an Omega.
• “I didn't try to touch her. I only wanted her to serve me since she was less busy."
• Pharoah said through gritted teeth.
• “Then go serve him, Asona. You don't have to be recalcitrant all the time.”
• He dismissed me with a wave of the hand without looking at me.
• “I won't be receiving any more trivial cases or false distress calls."
• “Yes Alpha” Pharoah bowed, a sinister grin appeared on his face.
• “And Asona."
• I turned to look at the insensitive man who had fathered me.
• “You are thereby relieved of your duties as the Alpha's personal Omega. Pharoah will assign your new duties to you."
• My heart shattered into a million splinters. I couldn't believe my father had put me in the arms of the same man who had tried to molest me and who made my life a living hell.
• I stared, transfixed to a spot as tears rolled down my cheeks.
• Why was life so cruel to me?
• Powerful hands gripped my arms and shoved me out of my father's office. I heard the lock turn.
• "It's time to serve me little slut."
