Betrothed to a mere Omega

Henry’s POV

I burst through the door, running inside the house. My body was reacting strangely, feeling hot inside while shivering.

I stripped off my clothes, revealing my naked chest, and collapsed heavily on the couch.

I felt the same way as I did yesterday when I met that mysterious girl. I wondered what was happening between us.

Maybe she could be my mate. I'm celebrating my 22nd birthday soon, and I've had my wolf since I turned 18. Since then, I've been searching for my mate. My urge for her grew stronger each week, leading me to seek solace in other females.

My dad took his time to explain how you feel when you first meet your mate, and since yesterday, I'm having the symptoms. It's funny how my wolf groaned whenever I set my eyes on the strange girl.

I just met her yesterday, and my wolf is already craving her. It's evident in her demeanor; she's a mere omega. I wonder how she gained admission to our school.

Liam gave her my favorite cloth yesterday, which prompted me to get closer today. I wanted to follow her to her hostel to retrieve my jacket, but my wolf kept growing restless. If I stayed near her for one more minute, my wolf might take control over me and do something reckless.

Tomorrow, I will make sure to control myself and find out if she's truly my mate.

I heard the creak of the door, and Liam entered with a determined expression.

I've done him a real messed up thing by taking the car home while his wallet is inside, and he also did me dirty by giving my favorite cloth to a random stranger.

I know he'll make a scene the moment he walks in, but I don't even care.

He strides inside, he throw a punch at me, but I let him do his worst. He's half immortal and half demon; his punch won't faze me.

"Why'd you bring the car home when you know my wallet's inside?" he screams, catching me off guard. I sit back on the couch.

"Tell me more about it. You gave a stranger my fav cloth yesterday, and you don't want me to do the same? Are you kidding?" I retort, grabbing the ashtray, picking up the smoke on it, and lighting it up, puffing it out and it smoke filled the room.

"But she is in need of it, can't you see people are mocking her," Liam said, grabbing a cigarette and lighting it up also.

"Then same goes for me. I needed to come back home early, that's why I brought the car, and I had no idea your wallet was inside," I fibbed, even though I saw his wallet before driving home.

"So what happened? Why did you run away? I thought you said you wanted to follow Niylah home to get your cloth. Did you change your mind?" he inquired, and I dropped the cigarette butt in the ashtray, focusing on Liam.

Liam has been my buddy since we started elementary school. His mom was a wolf, and his dad was an immortal. In the realm of power control, immortals and wolves aren't allowed to mix, but his parents broke that rule, leading to their demise and leaving Liam alone in the world.

With the love my dad had for Liam's mom, that's why my dad agreed to raise Liam from birth.

I grew up without much parental love. When I was little, Liam and I were the only ones at home with the nanny. My parents only came home once a month. Me and Liam found solace in each other, which is why we shared secrets.

The ultimate gift for Liam was to acknowledging different realm. I knew that by seeing the girl yesterday, he would recognize her realm.

"Liam!" I called out, and he raised an eyebrow.

"The girl you gave my cloth to yesterday, is she a wolf or omega?" I inquired, and Liam scoffed.

"She's an omega. Why?" he replied.

Sadness washed over me. I couldn't fathom being mated to a mere omega. Even if I accepted, my parents would never approve. There's no law supporting love between a wolf and an omega. Besides, the girl isn't my type; I've felt an inexplicable disdain for her since laying eyes on her yesterday.

"Is she your mate?" Liam asked, and I furrowed my brows, wondering how he knew what I was thinking.

“Why did you ask?” I inquired, and he smiled.

“You have no interest in a girl being a wolf or omega as long as she as a hole, so tell me why wouldn't I know when you are interested in knowing where she belongs,” he explained, and I took a deep breath.

“I'm still doubting if she is my mate or if it's just my curiosity, but I will confirm tomorrow,” I stated.

“If she is your mate, will you reject her?” Liam asked, and I narrowed my eyes.

“Are you expecting me, a whole Alpha to be betrothed to a mere omega?”
