Chapter 3 Mated to an omega

He took his bath and went to work, but still he couldn't stop thinking about how his wolf could call another woman a mate.

He had to cancel all his meetings because he couldn't concentrate. This is the first time such has happened to him in months. "Shit!" He closed his laptop frustratingly and took out his phone to make a call. "Eric, I need every detail about that girl this night. Even the little ones." He said this before hanging up.

The day kept becoming shorter for him as each minute passed by. He couldn't even get any work done until work was finally over for the day.

It was already late when he came back home. Almost midnight. Something that has never happened before. Even when he gets drunk in the club, he comes back home early and continues with his drinking.

He walked into the house. "Good evening, sir." Eric greeted. Eric was his assistant at work, and he had some things to attend to on that day, so he couldn't follow Aiden to work.

Without replying to his greetings, he asked, "Where is it?"

"Here is it, sir." Eric, the assistant, replied, stretching a file to him, which he also collected and opened. He went through it for a few minutes before looking up at the guy standing before him. "She's an Omega?"

Aiden was not surprised to hear that she was an omega, but being a wolfless one made him shocked and angry. He was still checking the file when Eric said, "I also found a phone. And I believe it belongs to her."

He collected the phone and looked at it before turning back to Eric. "You can go."

Eric also bowed his head. "Good night, sir." Before leaving the room.

He didn't bother going to bed because he knew he wouldn't sleep. He walked into a large room filled with shelves of books and a small mini-parlor opposite a big table arranged neatly. All giving him the best study and the perfect place to get his thinking together. Dropping the file and phone on the table, he sat down on the chair behind the table and went through the file for some minutes before dropping it. "A wolfless Omega." He called out so many times.

He sighed as he rested his back on the chair. "There must be something wrong somewhere," he said, holding his head so tightly as if he were in pain. How could he have another mate? "The moon goddess must be joking." He knew that thinking more about the matter would definitely not make him sleep that night, but he couldn't help it. He opened the drawer beside the table and took out a bottle filled with sleeping pills. He opened the bottle and took some of it before standing up to leave for his room, but stopped because of the loud ringtone coming from the small phone.

He looked back at the table. "Dad," he said, looking at the caller ID, before shutting down the phone.

He went to his room, but, as expected, he couldn't sleep. He found himself tossing around the whole night, despite adding to the dose of the pills he took.

***

In an empty, small room with only a small window. Nothing could be found in the room except a girl who sat in a corner with her knees held in front of her. She was covering her face with her knees, making her hair fall on her knees and her back. Only the small sobs from her could be heard.

After some time, she raised her head slowly and felt a terrible headache. "Why is this happening to you, Amelia? What did I do so wrong?" She cried even more, rubbing her face with her hands. She had been in the room for hours, and she felt so hungry and weak, but none of that was her problem.

"What could she have done to deserve such a cruel punishment?" She asked herself as she thought of her father, who would have been calling her. She was supposed to have been at home, but she was trapped serving punishment. The fact that she didn't know what time it was but only saw that it was getting darker got her even more scared and baffled.

She kept thinking about the excuse to give her father about not sending the money on time, without even thinking whether she would leave the room alive, but suddenly she remembered something. "Mate." She cleaned her face and tried to remember what she heard. "No. That's not possible. I must have misheard." She kept saying it to herself. She didn't want to think that what she heard was true. There was no way the Alpha would call her mate.

The next morning, the rays of the sun reflected through the glass wall of the room, making the room brighter, and it could disrupt the sleep of the man lying on the bed. But his eyes were widely open. He couldn't get any sleep, making him have dark circles and red eyes. He stretched his hand towards the drawer close to his bed and took out his phone to dial a number. "Hello. I need to see you." He said, waiting for the person's reply before he said again. "Yes. I'll see you in an hour.

He rose from bed and walked into his bathroom. Even bathing became a problem; he couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of him having another mate, who happened to be an omega. "Should I just reject her?" He thought, but suddenly replied to himself. "No. The moon goddess has to know she made a mistake."

He finished bathing, dressed up in his suit, and walked down the stairs only to find his assistant waiting for him and the housekeeper in the dining room. "Your breakfast is ready, alpha." The woman said with a slight bow, but raised her head when she heard. "Feed that, Omega. If she dies, you'll pay for it."

He said before walking out of the room with his assistant. The housekeeper only stood in that same position. She was surprised to see the alpha acting that way after what he did to the girl. Without bothering to think more, she packed the food and went towards the old, small storeroom where the girl was being kept.

She took the keys and opened them, only to see the frail creature sleeping on the floor, looking so weak. She walked closer to her and dropped the tray of food on the floor. "Sit up and have some food." The woman commanded, but seeing that the girl wouldn't move, she sighed.

She would have left her alone, but for a reason, she wanted to know why the Alpha had locked her up. "It's your choice if you don't want to eat. But tell me. What did you do to the Alpha?" She knew that even breaking the rules couldn't warrant such punishment, but still, seeing that the girl wouldn't talk or even look at her, she scoffed. "Such rude behavior. I'm sure it's nothing important." She said before walking out of the room and closing the door after her.
