“For sure,” I said as cheerily as possible.
Once he left the house, I got off the bed- angrily throwing the covers off me. I’ve never felt so humiliated in my life. He never mentioned me being in his pack or being his omega. It was completely outrageous that he’d do a test drive on me before matching me up.
In the shower, I tried to scrub my skin as much as possible and between my legs to erase any memories of his touch. My chest ached, and I had to keep reminding myself that he wasn’t mine.
He was never mine. I’d never see his pack again.
Tears welled in my eyes, and I just let it flow as I rinsed my body. My throat was tight as I took deep breaths, trying to restore peace in my soul. The hardest part was that his pack genuinely wanted to be there for me. They came to cuddle me and make me feel safe. And for that, they were punished bywatchingmeget punished. The tears came down harder as I held a fist over my heart.
I couldn’t handle the memories any longer.
Some part of me told me I would never find my true pack who would love me. A pack who was honest and cared about me. I stood under the shower allowing the water to wash over me as I shuddered against the wall, my shoulder aching from the hard surface.
After my shower, I got dressed and began throwing all my things back into the boxes. I couldn’t stay in this house anymore. It was too painful, and Caleb wasn’t serious about me at all. I wanted Dravin, Bruce and Nick but I couldn’t have them.
When I finished packing, I wrote a letter and left it on the kitchen counter. I remembered the money he paid me, and I pulled it out of the drawer, counting out the three thousand dollars. It was enough to survive off for a couple of months at least. Then, grabbing one box at a time, I stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Once the last box was loaded in, I looked back at the house one last time.
Wiping my eyes, I started driving to my parent’s house.
Twenty-Three
CALEB
“What time is the meeting with the omega set?” asked the alpha over the phone.
Fuck.
I was so fucking tired of these alphas being so pushy about their potential mates. I didn’t get enough time to find a replacement omega for him, but he thought he was getting Jade.The hell he will.
The following day, I was driving to the new house, excited to see Jade again. Of course, we’d talk about business first, then fuck later. My dick twitched in my pants, coming to life as I remembered her incredible ass and thick juicy thighs. I wasn’t ready to tell my pack, as I didn’t want to share her just yet, but I was sure they could smell her scent on me.
“The omega canceled again,” I said hastily. “Don’t worry, I’ll find you a new one.”
“You promised Jade to us,” he said, his voice lowering. “Do I detect something fishy going on?”
The truth was that I matched her to them after her little punishment. I was hellbent on getting her matched up, but Iregretted it soon after I called Tim’s pack. After the phone call, I couldn’t shower or do anything normal for days until I saw Jade again.
She was my life now. She wasmy mate.
“Nothing fishy is happening,” I said. “If you don’t trust my company, there’s no use doing business with me.”
“I trust you’ll get through to Jade and convince her to meet us,” said Tim. “Didn’t you say she signed up to be matched too? So why is she canceling?”
“It’s tough to snag an omega these days, brother,” I said pacifying him for now. “I’ll do everything in my power to either get her to reply to me, or I’ll match you up with a new omega similar to her in description.”
To me, no other omega compared to Jade. None at all.
“Fine, I’ll follow up in a few days time,” said Tim, hanging up on me.
Asshole. Yeah, he was definitely unhappy.
I parked the car in the driveway, noticing her car was gone.Why would she have gone shopping already without me?I thought she was excited to see me this morning too. Going into the house, I looked around. She left the house clean and tidy. Noticing a piece of paper on the kitchen counter, I picked it up. It was a letter from her.
Dear Caleb,
This may seem random and sudden- but I’m writing to let you know that I no longer wish to work on the house with you. I appreciate you giving me a place to stay during the hardest time of my life. Say goodbye to Dravin, Bruce, and Nick for me. After last night, I realized I want something more serious, not just one-night stands with you anymore.
Anyways good luck in your search for your true mate.
