The Omega For Sale

There were different sort of noises around me but it felt like I couldn’t hear any of it because of the awkwardness that surrounded myself and Christie in the kitchen.

The maid had only spoken two words to me since the beginning of the day and I couldn’t tell why. She didn’t look like she was upset with me but maybe her special ability was hiding her emotions.

Christie was my best friend, my only friend if I was being truthful to myself and the fact that she wasn’t talking to me bothered me a lot. In fact, she wasn’t even looking in my direction at all. Only pretending to concentrate on the vegetables in front of her.

I knew she was pretending because they were all properly diced but she refused to pack them up. Sighing heavily, I inched closer to her.

“I think those vegetables are properly diced Christie, you don’t have to completely murder them.” I said, using her words from once upon a time.

The smile that danced on the maid’s lips, broke a little of the ice and it made me smile a little too.

“What’s the problem? Why have you been ignoring me all morning?” I asked and she sighed heavily turning in my direction for the first time that day.

“Are you ready to tell me what happened last night or are we just going to continue pretending like the Alpha wasn’t standing behind you and you didn’t go up to his room afterwards?” She asked and I bristled in my spot, shrugging my shoulders.

“What do you mean?” I asked stupidly. I knew exactly what she meant but I did not exactly have an answer to it so the best route was feigning ignorance.

Christie finally dropped the knife in her hands and turned to face me completely and for the first time since I met the maid, I saw anger dance within her eyes.

“Do not take me for a fool Freya. I understand if you don’t want to tell me about this. I understand if you want to keep a part of your life private but don’t respond to me like you’re talking to a fool and I don’t know what I’m talking about.” Christie said.

I sighed heavily, feeling terrible that I offended the maid.

“I honestly don’t know what to say Christie.” I whispered truthfully.

“Well you can start from telling me what exactly is going on between you and the Alpha. Is that the reason Jessy has been sleeping in my room for a while now and you’re always up so early in the morning and acting weird.”

She finished folding her arms in front of her and although the maid was not much taller or bigger than me, in the moment she looked intimidating and threatening. I ran a hand through my face and sighed once more.

There was no need denying any of it or trying to come up with an excuse, it would only prolong things and could make her angrier, which I really did not want.

“Well, I don’t think I can explain it but I’ve been spending some time with the Alpha.”

“Okay… so that means you’re in a relationship with him?”

“No, not that. I’m not exactly in a relationship with the Alpha. In fact, it’s a little complicated at the moment and I’m still trying to figure it out myself.”

“Do you love him?”

I had opened my mouth to answer this question but I shut it again when I realized that I couldn’t exactly answer the question.

Was I in love the Alpha? I liked him. A lot. But I couldn’t be sure if I was in love with him, maybe because I had never been in love with anyone.

But wasn’t that the point of love? It came to one and consumed them, whether or not they knew what it was or how to identify it.

“I-I don’t know.” I finally whispered and Christie pulled me into a hug.

The feeling of the maids arms around me was blissful and I just enjoyed her scent around me. Talking about the Alpha with someone else other than Jessy felt relieving. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest.

“You’re going to figure it out, don’t worry about it. Just go with the flow and make sure you enjoy yourself while you’re at it. And be careful too, the Alpha is a good person. He’s just too unpredictable and mysterious. I don’t want you to get hurt.” She whispered to me and I nodded my head in understanding.

“I understand. Thank you. I really appreciate your care and concern.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

We pulled out of the hug and began cooking again, and this time the awkwardness was completely gone and I was more relaxed and at ease being in my friends presence.

“The Solace is tonight and I’m so excited for it.” Christie finally said and I turned to look at her.

“Really? Are you guys usually allowed to go?” I asked with a hint of excitement in my tone that I couldn’t bother to hide.

“No not really, but we get to watch the fireworks from the garden and the pack members usually bring a lot of goodies to the mansion. Plus, the Alpha is usually nowhere to be found so it gives us enough room to be as free as a bird. We can stay up as late as we want and we just have like a mini celebration amongst ourselves.”

“The Alpha invited me to the Solace.” I blurted out suddenly.

I didn’t know why I did but it just came out of mouth without control of any sort. Christie’s face broke into a grin at my revelation and then she was poking my sides in glee.

“Goddess! That’s insane, I’m so excited for you. Make sure to have a lot of fun and sneak in some goodies for me.” The maid said excitedly.

I wasn’t sure the sort of reaction I had been expecting from Freya but her current one made me break into a grin and I laughed out loud at her last sentence.

“You greedy little bastard. I thought you are going to get lots of goodies sent to the house.”

“Well yes, but you know what they say. Stolen food always tastes better.” She said and we both began laughing loudly.

“Alright, alright. Because you’re an amazing friend, I’m going to try and sneak in as much goodies as I can for you.” I responded.

“You’re so kind ma. Thank you so much.” She replied dramatically and I wheezed with laughter.

“Where’s Jessy? I haven’t seen her all day.” Christie commented.

“Yeah well she has been bothering everyone with her new bunny and I think I need to check up on her.” I said, turning around to exit the kitchen.

The moment I left the kitchen the sound of my child’s laughter reached my ears and I smiled in reaction. The moment I walked into the living area where her laughter seemed to be coming from, I bummed into the head maid.

“I’m so sorry.” I said to her and she only laughed in reaction.

“It’s alright, I’ve been looking for you anyway so I’m glad you came to me.” She said teasingly.

“Oh is there a problem?” I asked but she was already shaking her head before I could even complete my sentence.

“No, no. Not at all. The Alpha just sent me to you with a message. He says to start getting ready and that he’ll be ready to leave soon.” She delivered and I nodded my head.

“Thank you.” I said, giving her a small smile which she returned before walking away.

“Come on Jessy, I’m sure Naomi thinks your bunny is pretty.” I said, throwing an apologetic smile at the maid.

“Mommy!” My daughter bounced in my direction and I laughed as I caught her just before she could knock me over.

“You look excited.” I said to my daughter as we began heading in the direction of the quarters.

“I am.” She responded and I smiled.

“Freya.” Zoe called, just before I could go into the quarters and I stopped to address the black eyed girl.

“Can I ask you a question?” She said and I furrowed my brows in confusion.

“Of course.”

“Well, it’s just that the Alpha has never left the house with any of us before so I’m just wondering where you guys could be going. Are you sick?” She asked.

“Oh no, I’m just going to the Solace with him.” I said, trying to sound as nonchalant as I could. The maids eyes widened at my words.

“You’re going to the Solace with the Alpha?”

“Yes.” I responded. The head maids face broke into a wide grin.

“Wow! I’m so jealous and excited for you at the same time.” She said playfully, laughing and I laughed along with her.

“Well make sure to have fun and steal a lot of goodies for me.” She said and I laughed even more.

“Christie said the same thing what is wrong with you people?” I said to her and the maid laughed even harder.

“Well stolen food always tastes better.” She responded and Christie who happened to be walking by at that point and had heard the last of Zoe’s sentence spoke.

“I told you!” All three of us laughed out loud and even Jessy whom I was sure had no idea what we were talking about, began laughing too.

I shook my head at my daughter and gently pulled her in the direction of our room, passing by Emilia who of course threw a hateful look at me, but I only ignored her and continued to move on. I was having a good time already and I wasn’t going to let the bitter maid ruin it for me.

The moment we stepped into the room, I locked the door behind me and squatting in front of her, I began stripping my daughter out of her clothes.

“Guess what Jessy.” I whispered to my daughter excitedly and her eyes lit up in excitement too.

“Mommy have bunny?” She asked and I rolled my eyes playfully at my daughter, laughing a little. For the three years old, bunnies were the only blissful things she knew.

“No, I don’t have my own bunny yet. We’re going out!” I said to my daughter and she clapped her hands in glee.

“Weally?” She asked and I nodded my head, taking her towards the bathroom so I could give her a quick bath.

“Yes, we’re going to a festival and it’s going to be so fun!” I responded.

“Jessy make new fwemds?” She asked and I shrugged my shoulders.

“I don’t know yet babe. But I’m sure there will be other pups there, so maybe you can make new friends. Hold that rack and give me your foot babe.” I instructed and she did as told.

Once I was sure that she was clean enough, I rinsed her off properly and dressed her in the new clothes the Alpha had gotten us, smiling when they fit Jessy’s small frame perfectly. I packed her hair into a ponytail and slipped shoes into her feet.

“You look so pretty baby!” I complimented, kissing her cheeks and the mini version of myself, squealed and blushed at the compliment, causing me to laugh loudly in reaction.

“Sit here and play with your bunny okay.” I said, moving in the direction of the bathroom to begin preparing too.

I wasn’t sure how much longer we had before the Alpha came down and the last thing I wanted was for him to come and find us unprepared.

So I hurried through my shower and once I was done, I applied some scented oils into my skin, smiling when the the light caught the sheen on my skin and it appeared even more pretty. I slipped on the yellow dress, since I had fallen in love with it from the moment that I had seen it.

The dress to my surprise, hugged my figure properly and the slit at the side was just right. The dress had two small ropes at the chest area and when I pulled on them and put them into a knot it felt like I had just worn a corset.

This was no doubt the most beautiful dress I had ever worn and I couldn’t stop admiring the way it fit my body perfectly. I pulled my head out of the ponytail that held it and began running the brush through it, doing my best to style it as much as I could with only a brush at my disposal.

“Soft mommy.” Jessy said from her position on the bed and I turned to find my daughter pinching her blouse between her fingers, enjoying the silky material between her fingers.

“Wanna bwing bunny Mommy.” She said and I nodded my head.

“Sure you can bring bunny as long as you don’t mess it up or dirty it.” I responded.

I packed up a bag for Jessy, taking a few extra clothes for the messy three years old and just as I was pulling my sandals onto my feet, a knock came on the door. I hurried through wearing my sandals and moved to open the door.

Standing at the door was the Alpha and the way his eyes heated immediately they landed on my frame made me blush immediately.

“Wow! I don’t regret purchasing this dress at all.” He commented and I blushed even harder.
