I’m a bastard, I bitterly think to myself as I sit on the chair in Raven’s bedroom, gazing at him sleeping peacefully on his gigantic bed that is crazy big for just an Omega. I see my marks littering his naked body, and my mark on his neck that is slowly healing, but it is still really bruised up. I just want to punch myself from doing that to him, not understanding how I could have lost so much control like that when I normally don’t have this issue.
I didn’t have this issue with Kasey either.
I sigh, burying my face into my hands, wondering how angry he is going to be with me when he wakes up. I wouldn’t be able to blame him considering I am the bastard who did all of this to him, but I hope that he can show mercy on me for being such a bastard. I can’t even remember how many times we went last night, but thankfully I didn’t knot him when I thought that I would, so we wouldn’t have to worry about that.
I would have been mortified if I had knotted him without his consent in that way.
My head jerks up almost immediately when I hear him softly groan, rolling slightly over enough, his face etched in slight discomfort. This really sends a pang of regret to my heart, knowing that I am the cause of his discomfort, and I am going to do everything in my power to make him feel better…
I hope at least.
I’m not that much of a bastard I would like to think.
He slowly opens his eyes, blinking away the sleep, before his eyes meet mine. A soft smile makes its way onto his face and for whatever reason, it just makes my heart ache to see him smiling at me like that when I’m the reason he is down. I don’t deserve any of this, but here he is giving it to me so willingly.
“How are you feeling?” I ask him, thankful that I put on my clothes because I might have been tempted to jump across the room and ravage him once again.
“A little sore.” He admits, stretching like a cat on the bed, “but other than that, I feel fine.”
I clear my throat, bringing up the touchy subject that I didn’t want to go into but I knew that I need to, “I… I am sorry for marking you without your consent. I honestly did not think that I would lose control like that as I have never had that issue before. I know that obviously I can’t do anything about it now, but I want to let you know that I promise to make you happy no matter what, and I hope that you will give me the chance to prove myself to you.”
Raven is studying me carefully now, like he hadn’t been expecting me to say any of that, “I can’t say that I’m happy about it, but I’m not mad at you, Liam. There’s always a risk when it comes to Alphas and Omegas being together, and it’s probably because I like you so much that to me, it didn’t matter if you marked me or not. Honestly, I’m a little happy it is you even though neither one of us expected it. If I could be mated to anyone, at least it’s to someone I know would treat me right.”
I can’t believe he is letting me off the hook, I think to myself as I watch him carefully now, wondering where he could be going with this, “I know, Raven, but I didn’t come back here to do any of this with you. As an Alpha, I should have known better and realized what was happening long before I let my Alpha take over. I didn’t want to hurt you in the process either, but you can’t lie to me and say that you’re not hurting right now. I was a little brutal.”
“You were a little bit.” Raven agrees, sitting up in bed, the blankets pillowing around his waist, showing all of his upper body to me now, “but I don’t regret it, and I hope that you don’t either. Everything happens for a reason, and I’d like to think that for whatever reason, the world has brought us together now and I’m just going to take it day by day and that way I can live with no regrets. What do you say, Liam? Would you like to be my mate?”
He holds out his arms to me as an invitation to come running to him, and I don’t even need to hesitate this time. I jump from my seat and race across the room, not even caring anymore about anything as I wrap my arms around him, burying my face into his neck as he hugs me back, cuddling close to me for comfort. His pheromones are coming out in an almost comforting way, not enough to arouse me but enough for me to calm down and realize what he is trying to say to me.
Raven is doing his best to comfort me and let me and my Alpha know that he trusts us, and that he’s not angry either. If he had been anyone else, I’m not sure if I would have believed him, but staying in the comfort of his arms, I am not going to complain, nor am I going to let go of him.
It’s just not who I am.
I’ll just have to do what an Alpha does best.
Make his Omega happy.

After I managed to calm Liam down and make it so he realizes that I am truly not angry with him, we went to the shower and got washed up. It seems like after I passed out last night, Liam had cleaned me up and made it so there was nothing left inside of me. It was a little embarrassing to think that he had sunk his fingers inside of me to scoop out his cum, but it mortifies me a little bit to realize that I was awake for none of it, and I don’t even remember it happening.
I don’t think that I flinched even a bit.
But it was very nice when Liam offered to wash my hair and body, a slightly serious look on his face as he did so. I didn’t mind it either, loving the way he was paying such special attention to me, and catering to my every need and want. It’s what an Alpha does for their Omega.
The sick, possessive side of me would love to rub it in Kasey’s face, make him realize what an idiot he is for letting Liam go, and cheating on him, but the other side of me decides to keep extra quiet, knowing that I can’t just jump to conclusions like that and stoop down to his level.
Liam is my Alpha now, I’ve finally got what I’ve always wanted.
Liam takes me to the store, deciding that I don’t have enough food in the house to sustain myself. I find it a little cute to see him jump for me now, my heart pounding in my chest as he had kept a possessive hand on my thigh the entire drive to the store. And as we walk inside, he keeps a firm hold on my hand, keeping me close to him as he grabs a cart.
“Move in front of me.” Liam grumbles, keeping a firm grip on the handles but I don’t think that I can protest here.
I numbly nod my head, moving so that I stand in between the cart and Liam, his arms on either side of me, caging me in. This is a bit normal for an Alpha to do as I see it a lot of times, especially when newly marked. I see unmarked Alphas and Omegas looking at us, envy in their eyes as we walk past them, Liam having a list already for us to get groceries that he deems that I need.
“Liam?” I hear a familiar voice call out, causing me to stiffen, my Omega growling.
I look over, and I see Kasey standing there with a cart full of groceries, Nicholas protectively by his side. Kasey is looking between Liam and I, his eyes wide as if he can’t figure out what is going on. Liam briefly looks at him for a moment, but I don’t see any pain on his face.
It’s like he doesn’t care anymore.
Possessively, I lean into Liam’s chest, whimpering slightly as I immediately gain his attention. Liam places his hand on my waist, leaning down to nuzzle his mark, immediately comforting me. I meet Kasey’s angry blue eyes, and I can’t help but smirk as I hold onto Liam.
He’s mine now, Kasey, back off.
“You mated with my ex best friend!” Kasey snaps, making heads turn to look at him, “how dare you, Liam? After what I-“
I immediately cut him off, stepping out from Liam’s protectively stance, glaring at Kasey, “listen, Kasey, I don’t know why you are flipping out on Liam where you are the one who cheated on him AND got knocked up by his best friend while he was out serving this country.”
Kasey’s cheeks burn bright red, “you know nothing, Raven. You honestly think he wants you?”
“Oh, he doesn’t?” I reply cockily, placing a possessive hand on Liam’s wrist, seeing his full attention is still on me, “if he didn’t, then I wouldn’t have his mark right now, and he wouldn’t be standing protectively over me. I think you may not understand that he wants nothing to do with you anymore, but please save yourself the embarrassment and just walk away while I’m still being nice. My Alpha and I are trying to enjoy our time together without worrying about gnats getting in the way of it.”
I don’t wait for her response as I lead Liam away from there, feeling my blood boiling from the rage I am feeling inside.
And Liam…
He follows me away like a lost puppy.
Just the way I want him to.
