An Omega For Sale by Kess

Chapter 1 Chapter 1 I had just lost my virginity to a man, whose face I never even go see.

The memory of his touch lingered on my skin as I found my way back to the banquet hall. My body ached in a delicious way and I could still feel the wetness run between my legs from thy ordeal.

The memory of his touch, his voice, and the way he had claimedso thoroughly that the fire of my heat had been reduced to nothing filledto the brim as I made my way to the locker room, where I could change.

I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the nasty thougins that ouded my mind.

There was no place for such distractions in my life. This had been a mistake.

I thought to myself.

But as I stood among the other omegas, I couldn't help the way my heart raced at the memory of the way his body had molded into mine, the wet slurpy sound that had filled the dark room as the Alpha had fucked into me.. FOUR MONTHS LATER The sounds of pots and pans banging filled the kitchen, but they weren't loud enough to drown out the whispers. The sharp, hateful words surrounded me, cutting deep no matter how much I tried to block them out.

"She's probably slept with half the men in this pack. Such a slut. That's how she got pregnant," someone said, their voice dripping with bitterness.

The words hitlike a slap, making my chest tighten. I gripped the wooden spoon in my hand so hard my fingers ached and my knuckles turned white. I stared into the pot I was stirring, trying to focus on the bubbling liquid instead of the burning tears threatening to fall.

My hands trembled, and I lowered my head, letting my hair fall over my face to hide the tears pooling in my eyes as the memories of that night flooded back to me.

THAT NIGHT The hallway in front ofblurred and seemed to stretch, as the heat csuddenly, like fire racing through my veins. It was too much, too fast.

I couldn't stop my knees from buckling under me. I pressed my back against the cold wall and clutched at my chest, hoping that the pain would subside. But it didn't.

My omega nature had betrayedat the worst possible momen, leavingtrembling and weak the evening of the grand banquet.

I clutched the edge of the wall for support, my other hand clenched the hem of my dress. The fabrie clung to my damp skin, and a light sheen of sweat on my brow trailed toward my collarbone.

A soft whimper escaped my lips as another wave of Heat rolled through me, tightening every muscle in my body. My knees buckled, I bit my lips and I collapsed against the wall, trying to suppress the growing ache.

The banquet was about to start, and Darren, the omega trainer, would punishif I wasn't in the hall serving drinks to the powerful alphas. No excuses. Not even this.

1/5 12:29 Inu, Jun 29 Chapter 1 Darren, the omega trainer, had made it clear that tonight was now for mistakes. The banquet was a display of power, a gathering of the most powerful Alphas, and I was merely a low nega tasked with serving the guests. I could not afford to fuck anything up tonight, knowing that Darren would have my head.

I wiped my forehead, sweat dripped down my face, and took a deep breath. "You can handle this," I whispered to myself. I had to.

"Pull yourself together." I whispered, biting my lip hard until I felt the taste of blood.

By the tI made it into the banquet hall, my legs were shaking. I had chewed on bitter herbs to suppress the worst of my heat, but as the night wore on, the effects seemed to subside and my heat began bubbling to the top with full force. My body felt like it was burning, and every step felt like walking on shreds of broken glass.

"Freya, cover here now." The Omega trainer Darren called out to me, shouting to be heard over the loud music.

Bowing my head in submission, I made my way over to him, pushing past the drunk partygoers, and the ones that had begun grinding on themselves on the dance floor. My small stature made it difficult to move through the crowd but finally I made it over to the trainer and a tray of drinks had been pushed into my arms.

"Go over there and serve that guest. Be on your best behavior Freya. The warning in that tone has been clear enough.

Looking over to where Darren had pointed, I shuddered in anxiety, the area was a private part of the hall, and it held only one guest.

I couldn't see them even as I got closer because of the dimmed lights and my hands shook slightly in fear. I tried to steady them all the while praying to the goddess that I didn't mess up in any way.

the "Took you long enough." The guest had said the moment that I Had gotten to his side, taking the single glass that sat atop tray. The slur of his words was a confirmation of his drunken state, but it wasn't enough to take the authority away from his voice..

An Alpha for sure.

I had been about to leave, the dominating presence of the Alpha and his close proximity was starting to affect me, and I could feel my heat flare even more, as waves of desire coursed throughand moved to settle between my legs, but before I could take another step he had grabbed my arm tightly in his.

"I-I'm sorry, Alpha," I stammered, lowering my head.

Goosebumps filled my skin, and I felt the warm heat of his hand trigger something deep inside me. My body reacted before my mind could stop it, and the heat I tried so hard to subdue burst into flames.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked, his tone still a commanding growl that sent a shudder up my spine. "Nothing," I lied, my voice barely above a whisper.

Standing from his chair, he bent over me, his presence seeming to swallow the air between us.

"You're in heat," his voice was low but certain.

I nodded, unable to speak.

He stepped closer, his powerful frlooming over mine. I blinked severally, trying to clear the delirium that y senses. I tried to catch his face, but the cabwas almost pitch black and my wolf could barely manage to trace out an outline. His hand cup, brushing a strand of hair from my face, and I gasped at the gentle touch.

Chapter 1 2× 80% I couldn't respond. My heat was too much, pullingunder, and the scent of him only made it worse. I leaned slightly into him, my legs too weak to holdup. His eyes flicked over me, as he stepped closer.

"Lethelp you," he murmured, his voice softer now.

And I let him.

END OF FLASHBACK and here I was, four months later, with the evidence of that night showing slightly from beneath my dress. The whispers and name-calling followedeverywhere I went.

I was a pregnant omega, with no mate or claim, so it was no surprise that I had been labeled a slut.

Shburned in my chest every tI thought of that night. I had been reckless, letting my heat and desperation driveto make such a choice. Now, I carried the consequences.

Wrapping my arms around my belly protectively. I walked toward the pantry. Once inside, I started pulling a few things from the shelves.

It happened so fast. One moment, Heard shuffling just outside the pantry door, the next, it was slammed shut, and I heard the lock click in place.

I rushed to the door, pushing against it, but it wouldn't budge. Laughter and snickers bursted on the other side, sharp and cruck Banging heavily on the wooden door, I began screaming, “Letout! Please! I can't stay here, please! It's not safe-and I'm carrying a baby! Please open the door." Their laughter only grew louder, and the door stayed firmly closed no matter how hard I pushed or hit it.

Panic set in as I realized that the girls wouldn't open it. I would likely be spending the night trapped in this small, suffocating space. My breathing grew ragged, and my vision blurred. The walls seemed to close in on me, squeezing out what little air I could grasp.

I slid to the floor, clutching my chest as my lungs refused to cooperate. The pressure in my head was unbearable, and the room spun wildly.

My claustrophobia was causing my mind to reel.

The last thing I registered was the cold floor against my skin, then everything went blank I woke up with a gasp, the harsh lights of the clinic blindingfor a moment. I couldn't tell what had broughtout of my unconscious state but it still lingered in my mind.

I scrunch my nose as the sterile scent in the room caused my stomach to churn and a fresh wave of nausea swept over me.

I tried sitting up, but instantly regretted that decision when a sharp pain wracked through my head, forcingback down. I groaned softly, cradling my head in my hands and a painful moan escaped my lips.

"Hey, hey, don't do that. You need to lay down for a while." I turned in the direction of the voice and was met face to face with the pack's doctor. The older man addressedin a 12:20 Thu, Jan 2 Chapter 1 gentle voice and I did as he said, mostly because the pain in my head wouldn't letdo otherwise.

"My head hurts.” I whispered softly, my voice weak.

The doctor nodded, his expression softening. "You must have hit it pretty hard when you collapsed. Be careful, you could've hurt yourself worse." At his words I moved an arm to my stomach to check on my baby, the doctor's eyes followed my movements and I could see the look of disapproval dance within his depths.

"It's not too late, you know," he said, his voice low but firm. "You could still consider an abortion. You're young and beautiful. Without this child, you might still find a commoner willing to take you as a mistress. But with it? No one will look at you twice." His words struck like a slap.

The doctor searched my face for a minute and whatever he found there displeased him because he shook his head slightly. clicking his tongue in distaste, before speaking again.

"This baby is going to take your life away from you. You're still young, there's no need to condemn yourself to a life such as the one that this burden would bring My office is the last door at the end of the hallway, to the right. Think about it and letknow your decision," the doctor muttered, walking away and leavingalone with my thoughts. The doctor's words lingered in my thoughts. Having this baby was going to completely change my life. Being an omega this pack was already hard, but being a single mother omega? That would be a hundred times worse.

My mind filled with images of how difficult things could get forand my child. The fear made my chest tighten, and 1 shuddered as the possibilities unfolded in my thoughts.

I had no one to rely on. The moment the other omegas found out I was pregnant, they started avoidinglike I carried skind of curse. Soon after, shortly after the whispers and dirty looks had begun.

I was utterly alone. And yet, it was that loneliness that gavemy reason to keep this child.

I was tired of being alone, I wanted someone to love, someone who would be mine and mine alone. I needed someone who wouldn't look atwith disgust or bitterness- This baby could be my chance to feel what it was like to love and be loved. It would be a part of me, something no one could take away That thought warmed my heart, and a small smile broke through the sadness.

As for the father I wasn't naive enough to think he'd ever clooking foror take responsibility.

That night had been a mistake-a reckless decision made in the haze of my heat. The dim lights and the rush of emotions meant Xhadn't even gotten a clear look at him. I didn't know his nor his face. All I knew was that he was an Alpha, someone so far out of my reach that it was pointless to think of him. Even if he somehow found out aboutor the baby, he would probably choose to stay away. It was better this way. Pretending he didn't exist made it easier to move on my stomach sonly and hummed to myself, letting the warmth of my decision settle overI patted my 12:29 Thu, Jan 23 o Gi Chapter 1 I had made up my mind.

I was going to keep my baby.
