Following our passionate clash that night, Aiden had slipped away for days, only to return today. I was confident he had weathered the storm, unharmed by any rogue encounters.
However, today, I felt completely at ease, savoring the peace it brought me.
If this had happened before, my inner wolf would have spiraled into paranoia, relentlessly searching for the root of his fury. But today, I felt an unexpected serenity wash over me, embracing the stillness within.
Gazing at him from the outside of that toxic cycle, he resembled a soul battling serious emotional struggles, quick to ignite with anger, belittling those around him, and always ready to deliver a sermon.
I once dashed home after work, paralyzed by the fear that Aiden would come back to find me gone. Now, though, that fear had lost its grip on me, leaving only a hollow sense of peace as Aiden's frustration lingered like a storm cloud.
In the void of his presence, I dedicated myself to serving Alpha Argon as his devoted servant, never daring to defy his commands.
In the face of the head servant's cruelty, Alpha Argon stayed composed, never raising his voice at me, unlike others who belittled my worth. Instead, he consistently praised my commitment to my responsibilities.
After all the years I poured into serving him, Alpha Argon resolved to uplift my status, assuring me that I would soon leave my Omega past behind and embrace my role as a remarkable mate of Aiden, the pack healer.
When Aiden's name slipped from his lips, it dawned on me that we hadn't spoken in more than a week.
The room buzzed with praise for Aiden, my cherished mate, who had excelled as a pack healer and saved countless lives.
Yet, the moment they began to speak of his mate, me, laughter erupted. To them, Aiden was perfectly matched with Lauren, not with someone of my lowly status.
But that didn't faze me. What did it matter that I was an Omega? I had devoted my life to serving this pack. Without us, who would tend to the chaos they created?
In the end, I embraced tranquility, allowing the pack members to gossip as they pleased. Little did I know, their chatter had caught the attention of Alpha Argon.
He summoned me to the Pack Hall, encouraging me to brush aside the gossip surrounding Aiden and his healer assistant, Lauren.
