Chapter 3

The following morning my heart broke when I saw that he wasn't next to me anymore. His scent was very faint so I knew he had been gone for an hour or so. It broke every morning a little further when I never saw him laying next to me. After always seeing him with other girls I didn't know how much more I could take until I broke. Yelling broke me away from my thoughts and I turned around to look what was wrong. My sponge, that I was cleaning the floor with, still in my hand. Ryder came storming down the stairs. His father hot on his heels. "What do you mean you won't mate with Bonnie? She is the perfect match for you! You're almost twenty and haven't even mated yet!" Derek, the Alpha had practically steam coming out of his ears. "I don't wan't that slut as a mate!" yelled Ryder back. "You will find a mate before your twenty'st birthday or I will not give you the Alpha title!" threatened his father, leaving no room for argument. "I don't even want a f*cking mate!" I froze and dropped the sponge. Derek and Ryder both snapped their heads in my directing. As if only now realizing they were not alone. Well, I guess I was really invisible. For a moment I thought I saw regret in my mates eyes, before they hardend and he stormed out of the house. Slamming the door behind him. The Alpha sighed. "Stubborn idiot," he mumbled, looking at the door. Then he turned back to look at me. "What are you looking at slave," he sneered. "Get back to work you piece of sh*t." He was a bit pissy because his mate way away for her business. I bowed and did as he said. But my thoughts were far away. Why did he say that? I sighed and continued scrubbing the floor. I am just the omega, I reminded myself, I can't expect him to just claim me. That would mean trowing away his title. And he wouldn't do that. I am just the omega. After I finished cleaning I went to the kitchen and quickly made lunch. Most of the teenagers were in school so I only had to make food for 400 people. After three hours I was finally done and quickly served everyone. The adults of the pack didn't treat me as bad as the teenagers. They would scowl in my direction mostly but thats it. Except if I screwed up. Then I would get punished. Ryder didn't show up for dinner and I was getting worried. Of course, he and his dad fought often but normally he didn't stay away for this long. I bit my lip as I stared worriedly at my plate. I didn't get much to eat so normally I wouldn't hesitate to stuff it down my throat. But something just didn't sit well with me. Somehow I felt angry and frustrated. But those weren't my feelings. They were his. My mates. I shoved the plate away an leaned against the cupboard. I hoped he was allright. Right then I felt another piercing pain go trough my heart and I gasped, clutching my chest. He was having sex with someone else again. Tears gathered behind my eyes and I slid down to the floor. I closed my eyes and tried to block out the feeling. Did he really enjoy torturing me this much?
