You Are Mine, Omega

Chapter 5

It had been one week since I started to avoid Ethan.

That day, I did not reply to his brother, Ryan. He said I was in love with Ethan. I was surprised at first, but then I realized he could read my eyes when I was looking at his brother.

After that day, he did not come to bother me again.

He became very popular in our school. As Teresa said, he did not date. I only saw him with different girls each time.

Ethan also looked strange whenever he was around me. I did not know why. Since I was avoiding him, I should not think about it either.

“My honey’s birthday is tomorrow. I am so excited.”

I heard Teresa cheer up about my birthday.

It was going to be my eighteenth birthday. I somehow felt nervous. It was the time when werewolves found their mates. If before that someone marked me, I could be his mate. But I had not mated with someone yet, so I would get someone as my mate.

“What are you thinking?” Teresa patted my shoulder.

I shook my head. “Nothing.”

“Are you still thinking about Ethan?”

I sighed. I was not, but at the same time, yes, I was thinking about him.

His relationship with Julie was not clear. He did not declare it either. But I was not his type, and my birthday was tomorrow, so I had to think only about my mate.

Since he did not like me, I should not think about him either.

“I am worried about my mate.” I explained to Teresa.

“Don’t worry. He will understand you. You know a mate can change your life with happiness.”

I nodded my head. But it was not that.

I always felt like Ethan was my mate. I felt that for a long time. I felt somehow connected with him. I was sure he could not feel that otherwise; he would at least try to talk to me about it.

We talked for some time and then went back to our classes.

After my last class, I was waiting for Teresa. I was passing a few classrooms when I heard growls.

My legs stopped. I turned my head towards the classroom and went close to the door.

The hallway was empty. I looked around and discovered that I was the only one there.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a thud. I immediately opened the door and saw two boys holding each other’s collars.

I was shocked when I saw their faces.

“Ethan!”

I shouted and rushed to him. But before I could reach him, Ryan had already thrown a punch in his face.

Blood was coming out of the corner of Ethan’s lip.

Ethan backed away, and his back rested on a wall. I cupped his cheeks and asked,

“A-Are you o-okay? What is happening?”

He frowned when he saw me. He slightly moved my hand from his face. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

My own actions astounded me. Ethan wiped the blood off his lips with his thumb.

I looked at Ryan, who was glaring at me.

“What’s happening? Why are you hitting him?” I asked him.

He stared at me for a few seconds, and his eyes became dark, which made me frightened. In those days, he only behaved childishly with me. I had never seen him like this.

I remembered when he was a kid, he always got mad at others.

Without my realization, Ethan walked to him and punched him hard.

I was shocked. They started to fight again. Like wild beasts, they were up to each other’s necks.

“Can you both stop?” I said and tried to move Ethan.

I did not know what to do. Should I call someone for help? One of them broke his lips, and the other broke his cheek.

What would I do?

I tried again to move them but got pushed by them.

“Aaah!”

I fell on a wall and got hurt in my head. I held my forehead.

Ethan and Ryan both stopped fighting and looked at me. They looked stunned. They did not think that I would get hurt.

“Fuck! What happened to you?” Ethan said and rushed to me.

Ryan was standing where he was while looking at me.

I felt dizzy.

“D-Don’t fight.”

I felt darkness engulf me and everything blanked around me.

When I woke up I saw a white ceiling. I tried to sit up but felt a hand pushing my shoulder lightly.

“Don’t sit up. You need some rest.”

I heard Teresa. I turned my head to the right side and saw that she was sitting on a tool close to the bed.

I touched my forehead and felt a bandaid on the left side of my forehead.

“What happened?” I asked her.

I remembered the fight and then suddenly I got hurt.

“I called you. Ethan received the call and told me to come to this infirmary.”

“Ethan? How is he?”

“He looked fine to me. Just a cut in his lips.”

“Where is he?”

“He left the moment I came here.”

I nodded and closed my eyes.

I took some rest and Teresa waited for me for an hour while sitting there.

I stood up. The nurse told me I was fine to go. I took a painkiller and went out of the hospital with Teresa.

She dropped me home and told me to take care of myself.

When I entered my home, my mom saw my forehead and asked,

“What happened to you?? You got hurt!”

“Mom, I was feeling weak then I slipped.”

“You need to eat more. Should we go to the pack doctor for a check up?” She looked hella worried.

“No, mom. I am totally fine. I just need some rest.”

She stroked my head and nodded. I went to my room and lay on my bed. I thought about today’s fight. Why were they fighting?

When it was night time, I was going to have dinner when my mother came with a bag.

“Wear this and come down, honey.”

It was a beautiful brown colored dress inside the bag. I took it out and smiled.

“Mom, you did not have to do this.”

She kissed my forehead and said,

“Your dad threw a party tonight. Teresa is waiting for you downstairs.”

I was not surprised. Every year my father called Teresa and arranged a small party for us four, on my birthday night. I was happy with it.

“Okay, mom.” I replied with a bright smile.

But my smile froze when I heard my mother’s next sentence.

“It’s such an honor that Alpha Neil and his family also came tonight to celebrate your birthday with us.”
