His Dark Obsession

3. A Shock

part of being an omega was that your presence wasn’t noticed. “…Aeron I assure you, we need her gone.” Grandmother Philomena’s voice came. It was filled with irritation and warning, and I froze, unsure of what was going on. But something told me this was not a conversation I should be listening in on. Wasn’t the Alpha meant to be out for work? Should I leave? “Mother, I understand, but are you certain?” “Of course I am son, Sinclair’s eyes have been on her for a while now… and I fear it might be more than just a sexual attraction.” “I don’t know, I can’t get my head around that. Evangeline is-” I was about to tiptoe away when I froze, hearing my name, placing a hand to my chest. “A beautiful young woman, and as much as I wouldn’t care if Sinclair kept her as his, on the side. An emotional attachment to an omega is dangerous. She needs to go.” There was finality in the old Luna’s voice, and I wondered if Alpha Aeron would agree. Terror began seeping into me as I waited, with bated breath for his reply. He wouldn’t agree… right? That pause felt like an eternity. “You’re right, he is the only heir I have… I will have Evangeline gone soon. But do not speak a word to her, I will do it myself.” “Good and make haste. You know the charm of these Omegas.” She added distastefully. It took everything in me to not break down. My world was crashing down just when I thought my birthday couldn’t get any worse. “Yes, so I’m assuming you have potential women lined up for him?” “Yes, ones that will make ideal Lunas.” my stomach sinks further and my eyes burn viciously.  My heart was thundering as I silently backed away from the slightly ajar door. Why was she so hateful towards me? Didn’t she like me? But it made no sense, she had never let on anything of the sort, that she wasn’t happy with me… Unless she saw it from Sinclair, and not me. I placed a hand on my thundering heart, suddenly feeling very alone when I realised I was about to lose the only family I had. Lose the only life I could remember. Alpha Aeron would make sure I was gone… Maybe it’s best I leave before then. How could I be so foolish? Obviously, Grandmother Philomena would want only the very best for her grandson. After all, he was the only heir and the future Alpha. Only an Alpha-blood female would be fit for Luna, since he never found his chosen mate… He couldn’t just have anyone, let alone someone like me. Goddess, I was so stupid! I brushed the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes away as I turned, hurrying down the hall. I didn’t want to return to that party anymore. I ran into the back garden, staring down at the water in the fountain, my heart racing rather fast. The weather was cool, and the moon was shining, but I felt
