Dante had an expression that I found difficult to decipher; something very strange happened yesterday. Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding; it was hard to believe that a future alpha, and especially someone who evidently despised omegas, would want to kiss me.
"Why would you wait for me?" I asked.
"Well, yesterday you argued that we should face off again. I've come to show you that I'm stronger and that I can defeat anyone," he said, approaching me.
"And what do you propose to do?" I said defiantly, not wanting to be intimidated.
"Follow me, Omega," he said, heading to a training area where no one else was.
"Do you want us to fight alone?" I asked.
"Are you afraid of me, Hadassa?" he stated.
"I'm not afraid of anything; being an Omega, I've had to deal with everything and everyone who seeks to crush me," I replied.
"Very well, I want you to face me now," he said, taking off his sweatshirt and revealing a t-shirt that showed off his defined and muscular arms.
"Very well," I played along, taking off my sports jacket and remaining in my t-shirt that covered me.
He positioned himself in the center of the training mat. Josh had taught us basic combat techniques since we were young. I felt confident because I had been good, but facing Dante, who was said to be the best in the pack, made me nervous.
"Come, Hadassa," he provoked.
I started with some quick movements. Evidently, Dante was good; he evaded them skillfully. In one of them, he wrapped his arms around my waist. I felt a slight tickle in the pit of my stomach, which I attributed to facing the future alpha.
He knocked me to the ground, and before he could immobilize me, I wrapped my legs around his neck. We were very close. His eyes were fixed on mine. I squeezed my legs tightly; he also had a lot of strength, as he lifted me into the air. In the struggle, we fell onto the mat, me on top of Dante, his face buried in my chest and his hands on my butt. I moved quickly; my breathing was agitated. Dante was the last person I wanted this to happen with. I got up from the mat and headed to grab my things.
"Do you do these things to provoke me, don't you?" Dante got up.
"Don't you realize it was an accident? It's the same thing that happened yesterday," I affirmed.
"No, Hadassa. Yesterday you showed me that you have strength beyond the norm," he commented, approaching.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe you weren't at your best yesterday..." He was looking at me very closely.
"You drive me crazy," he ran a hand through his hair.
"Well, you've always hated me. You've shown me that since I can remember."
"Yesterday you shouted that you liked someone else, it's not Mike, is it?"
"That's my business. Besides, I'm an Omega, you forget, I can't like someone who is..." I felt my voice breaking.
"I was sure that being an Omega didn't matter to you," Dante added, coming face to face.
I wanted to look at him angrily, but his gray eyes had a warm expression. This whole situation seemed so strange to me. Little by little, I'm remembering times when Dante treated me indifferently, when he spoke to me harshly or was rude.
"What do you want to prove to me? You're better than everyone in the pack. Is it so bad that I accidentally knocked you down yesterday?" I said, hoping that maybe he would stop being indignant, annoyed; I no longer knew what it was that he wanted.
His eyes didn't stop looking into mine; Dante was really tall. I was 1.68 meters tall and he was like 1.90... He came closer to me and tilted his head until he was inches from my face. I felt his breath:
"You won't manage to make me like you, even if you keep using your tricks," he replied.
"What tricks are you talking about! I already told you that I don't like you, do you think I'm crazy to be interested in someone like you?!" I said angrily.
"Hahahaha that dress, your perfume, and putting your breasts in my face, do you think I'm stupid? Do you do the same to everyone so they talk about you and like them," he commented angrily and grabbed my shirt.
"Let go of me, Dante! You were the one who was waiting for me, and you say I provoked it? And you accuse me of provoking other guys! You're a jerk. Let me go, will you?" I tried to get him to let go of my shirt; I didn't want to keep hearing his stupidities.
I had enough already; I'm barely recovering from losing the love of my dear Derek.
"Stop doing it," he said in a hoarse voice.
"Dante! Let go of me!" His attitude confused me; it was hostile and at the same time his eyes had an expression that made me feel restless.
He held me tighter, lifted me up, and when I opened my mouth in protest, his mouth covered mine. His lips were soft, his breath warm. It was the first time I had been kissed, and the kiss wasn't from who I had always dreamed of.
He tore my shirt, grabbed my waist, and pulled me close to his body. His lips devoured mine. I pushed him to let me go, as I felt his hands rising to my breasts. I could hear his wolf's roar.
"That's what you wanted, isn't it?" he added, seeing me with agitated eyes, and a smile drew on his face.
"If you come near me again, I'm going to hit you where it hurts the most," I said, wiping my lips and trying to gather my things.
"Hahahaha stop pretending you didn't want me to do this. You've been provoking me for a few years," he added.
"Don't ever touch me again!" I screamed with tears.
"What an excellent actress," I didn't want to keep hearing or have him have a chance to touch me again. I kicked him in his parts and ran out. From that day on, I avoided seeing or meeting Dante all week.
The only good thing about that unpleasant situation is that it made me forget about Adriana and Derek, and I didn't manage to see them either.
My mom had a lot of work during those days, so on Friday afternoon I decided to go see her and have a coffee.
"Honey, you've come to say hello," she said when she saw me arrive.
She was dressed in jeans, high heels, and a blouse that showed her belly. I left my hair loose; it had grown since the last time I cut it, reaching my waist.
"You look beautiful," she added with affection and sat down for a few minutes to accompany me.
"The truth is that I look like you," I kissed her cheek.
We had a pleasant conversation, and I enjoyed the coffee with her cinnamon roll. She went back to work while I finished what was left. Not far away, I saw Adriana coming hand in hand with Derek, who was smiling enthusiastically. I don't remember having seen that smile on him, I thought sadly while finishing what was left in my cup. I got up quickly; I didn't want to have to chat with them at the moment and I was still avoiding seeing Dante again. I went down the path that led to a trail to the forest, I hurried as I walked on it, I heard laughter from some young people. I passed quickly, I realized that among them was Mike, Brendan, and two other boys, they were drinking. I kept walking pretending not to see them, someone called me, but I didn't pay attention.
"Wait, Omega," I heard Brendan who stood in the middle of the road.
"Let me pass, okay?" I said with disgust.
"Who do you think you're talking to? Do you think that because you're attractive you have the right to play hard to get?" he grabbed my wrist.
"Let go of me, please, I don't want to scream," I said.
"If you behave and kiss me, I might think about making you my mate," he added.
"Mike, please make him let go of me for good," I said, containing my fury.
"Hada, why aren't you good to me? Now you're asking me for help. I've approached you being nice, but you don't seem interested, do you aspire higher? Brendan is a Delta, and I'm a Beta. Wouldn't you like to be my girlfriend? I can claim you," he said, also approaching.
They were both drunk. I couldn't defend myself with everyone, I didn't understand what was happening to them. Mike began to touch my hair and Brendan still wouldn't let go of my wrist; it was clear that they weren't reasoning clearly. Especially if they were telling me that they could claim me as a mate. I heard a loud howl not far away, they both let go of me and moved away... Dante came out of the path with a murderous look.
"Dante, what happened?" Mike asked.
"Dear Hada, is everything okay?" I heard Derek's voice behind me.
"I'm going to my house. Excuse me," I said, wanting to leave that place.
Dante was in my way, his eyes seemed to want to devour someone.
"Hada, let me accompany you," Derek said.
Why was he alone? Wasn't he with Adriana a few minutes ago? I wanted to go home alone. Dante came to my side and grabbed my hand, pulling me to follow him.
"The omega is coming with me," he clarified as we walked away.
