The Omega For Sale

Emilia’s POV:

“Emilee?” Simon called and I chuckled under my breath. No matter how much I tried to correct him about the pronunciation of my name, the four years old insisted on calling me that since his friend called me that too.

“Yes love?” I responded.

“When do we go home and see daddy? Will he forgive me and love me again? A-and you too?”

Tears pricked at my eyes at his words. How could I tell him that he might never see his father again? I mean chances were if Roman were ever found, he would be killed. There was no mercy for what he had done so far.

“I’m sure he will honey. Come on, it’s past your bedtime you need to go to bed.” I tried my best at sounding reassuring but I couldn’t be sure that it worked as well as I wanted it to. I was sad and scared myself.

“I’m scared.” Came his little voice again.

“Don’t be scared honey, here hold my hand and I promise I won’t let go okay?” I promised and Simon nodded his head, wrapping his small fingers around mine.

I watched as his eyes slowly dropped until he was finally asleep and for a moment I wished I could just close my eyes at any time and fall asleep.

I wished things could be different especially with myself and Roman, I had loved the man so much and even now when I knew that all he had done was manipulate and use me I couldn’t help but still love him.

What he had done was wrong, especially since he didn’t have a solid enough reason for all of it but what was worse was the fact that he was going to let me take a fall for one of his sins. I could have lost my life in all of these mess but I didn’t think that was Roman’s biggest concern. Matter of fact I didn’t think it was his concern at all.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Thinking about him always made me sad and it made me question love.

I had been so convinced that he loved me as much as I loved him. I couldn’t forget the first time we had met. I had been serving coffee to the officials in the Alpha’s room where they had been having a meeting and we had locked eyes at some point.

It had been almost magical, save for the absence of sparks and the lack of scents I could have been convinced that we were actually mates but we were not so I could only say that we were destined to meet each other.

After that moment, he had called me to the living area after the meeting was done and had asked him to meet him at dusk so we could have a proper discussion.

I had wanted to do it, so bad. I didn’t want to pass up an opportunity to get to know this handsome, soft spoken man that had gotten my attention but there were rules in the home of the man that I served and one of those was to never leave the house unless it was permitted by himself.

And although I was a little rebel but I knew where to draw the line, I knew the boundaries and the roads to not cross and then I had told him so.

Now that I thought about it, he was an official, I was very sure that if he had asked Master that he wanted to spend the evening with me, he would have permitted it. Maybe that was wishful thinking but I really believed there would have been other options for us that didn’t involve me sneaking out of the house and meeting him in the woods almost every night.

There had been a particular thrill that had come with defying the rules and meeting the supposed love of my life deep in the woods. I had been convinced that he was risking his life and a lot just to see me when I could have thought about how he had better options but had decided to keep me a secret by not letting Master know about his interest in me from the beginning.

When he began searching for a very rare herb that was supposed to be found in that particular woods I should have been suspicious, but there wasn’t much to suspect when he told me that it was to for Simon’s rare sickness.

I had only met Simon a few times but I genuinely loved the boy and so of course I helped as much as I could and even stole various items from the house so we could test it with to be sure when we got the right herb.

It wasn’t until Jessy’s poisoning that I realized that I had been played all along. Roman needed someone within to take the fall for it all. I had told him multiple times that I didn’t want to hang around the woods at night anymore because I kept getting caught by Freya and I was afraid she was going to tell Master.

His response had been to threaten her to silence. It made sense then but now it just sounded stupid.

Even with the discovery the moment I had been able to escape from the dungeon I still ran straight to him. Where I had discovered a lot but still kept quiet for the sake of love.

How love could have caused me so much pain, I still couldn’t explain. Wasn’t love supposed to be the most amazing thing the world had to offer? Wasn’t It supposed to bring me eternal happiness and make me feel like I was floating on a cloud for the rest of my days?

Sighing heavily, I turned on the bed until I was laying on my back, I made sure that my finger was still intertwined with Simon’s and then sending a silent prayer to the Goddess that Freya be safe and all of this be over soon, I let my eyes drop slowly until sleep took over.

The scent of lilacs and petunias woke me up, there was only one person I knew that had that scent.

Naomi.

I had always complained about how her scent always seemed to consume me wherever we went together and had even told the girl to stop using so much perfume. In secret, I knew she wasn’t using any perfumes and I actually really liked her scent but the girl was too hung up on me for me to actually tell her that.

The day I had accidentally told her that she had pretty eyes, she had been all over me that day and was pretty convinced that she was in love with me. So it meant no compliments for her if I wanted her off my back.

The moment I flipped open my eyes I was surprised to find that I was in the woods. Well, it looked like I was in the woods but I really wasn’t, it felt more like a vision.

Everything was still and so silent that I could hear myself breath. I looked around me and there was nothing to indicate why I was actually here and there was a cold sensation that overcame my frame.

Suddenly the place felt much darker and then I could soon hear the sound of running feet. Whoever it was they seemed to be running urgently from something.

Then I got a closer look and that was when I saw Naomi, I tried to call out to her but it didn’t seem like she could hear me. She only kept running.

Then the darkness began to get brighter and brighter and soon the image of her running began to fade.

“They’re going to kill her soon, you have to help her please.”

Those were the only words I got from her before a scream was piercing through my consciousness and bringing me back awake.

This was about Freya, Naomi had been trying to warn me about Freya. I moved quickly from the bed, I needed to let Master know.
