Chapter 6
Marina’s POV.
I stared at him blankly. I was not educated enough to understand words like that. My pack did not allow omegas like us to go to school unless you have a good owner.
“She is your plaything?“. The beautiful woman said.
“Bertha, that’s none of your business“.
“And why would I do that when I am your mate?”.
She was his mate?
I felt my knees weaken again. Then what did that make me? What was a plaything?
“I would need to clean myself up and get something to eat. Please excuse me“. I bowed in front of the alpha and walked away.
I could feel their eyes on me as I walked hastily to the door. I felt my heart pumping blood crazily. My eardrums could hear it.
I got to my door, opened it, locked it, and then ran in.
“My goodness“.
I was glad I had left there. Let them settle their issues.
I walked to the bed and fell on it. Relieved that I had left there, I smiled a little.
But then, my thoughts wandered back to what he had said.
Bertha was not his sister. That was a relief. The moon goddess had taken away Tara and she incarnates from me.
I was relieved.
But she was his mate?
His supposed mate.
He rejected her in front of me and it made me happy. I liked that he had no mate. It was an opportunity for me to make myself visible to him.
“What is a plaything anyway?“.
The moon goddess was good enough to bring Bree at that time. She knocked on the door.
“Come in“.
“Bree“, I called her. She brought food, fruits, and water in a tray for me. I received them with thanks.
“Is there something wrong, ma?“.
I took the tray from her hands, placed it on a table, and pulled her by the wrist as I made her sit with me on the bed.
“Bree, did you go to school?“.
She nodded gently. “I was not able to finish though. Is there a problem?“,
I was impressed. Alpha Luther was a good master to her.
“Can you read and write?“.
“Not too well but I can try
I nodded. “Alright, can you tell me what a plaything is?“.
She gasped and then covered her mouth halfway through, “Where did you hear such a word?“.
“I heard the Alpha call me his plaything. He said that to a woman named Bertha“.
I hoped it was a good word but as I saw the facial expression on her face, my heartbeat dropped a little.
She drew in a deep breath and exhaled. The second breath was heavy.

“It means you aren’t his mate“.
“What do you mean?“. I brought my brows in as I leaned forward and placed my hand on my thighs, “Tell me more“.
She hesitated.
She scratched her head and twisted her lips as she struggled to talk.
“Tell me. Hurry, you’re making me feel uncomfortable“.
“You’re not his mate. The alpha must have brought you here as his preferred sex toy.”
My breath was now unsteady. My thoughts ran wild.
Was that why he-
“No“. I gasped.
“You’re his sex mate which he would be having lots of fun with. His mistress. That is what he intends for you”
My heart stopped pumping blood at that moment. It felt like my vision and hearing ceased at the same time.
“Marina, are you alright?” She shook me. I looked at her but was lost in my thoughts.
Just when I thought I had found a mate, it seemed I had lost hope again.
The moon goddess was not a fan of mine.
Second trial and now, I was in a far worse situation.
“Are you alright?“.
I nodded but a tear formed in my eyes.
“That would mean we can never form a family. That he can never love me“.
“Yes, but he will have sex with you to his satisfaction. You are only here to make the Alpha happy“.
Another wave of sadness caught me. I faked a smile, trying my best not to break down in front of her.
“Thank you for explaining. I would like to be alone for now, please leave“.
She studied me for a while. Bree was sensitive and sensible. She knew I was about to break down and needed privacy.
“I will be back to take the plates and warm you a bath“.
With that, she rose from my bed, excused herself, and closed my door for me.
I waited for her to close the door and made sure she was far away before I allowed myself to break down.
Moisture rolled down my eyes and cheeks as I lowered myself from the bed to the floor.
The floor was cooler to cry on.
I sobbed.
Cried.
Screamed into a pillow and shook my shoulder.
My wolf broke too.
She was strong but this was too much for her.
I ended my night with a headache and showered by myself. Once I slipped into my night dress, I heard another knock on my door.
“You can get the plates tomorrow. I have already taken my bath. Please leave“.
I thought I was speaking to Bree but the knock came again.
“Bree, I am not in a good mood”
It was still persistent.

I was becoming frustrated so I rose from my bed, angrily marched to the door, unlocked it, and got ready to scream at Bree when I was welcomed by a shirtless man.
“Alpha“. I mumbled in surprise. I lowered my voice and greeted him.
“Were you expecting someone else?“.
I lowered my face immediately, avoiding his gaze, hoping he would not see my swollen eyes.
“I thought Bree was here“. I let my hair cover my face.
The alpha noticed me hiding something.
“Look at me“.
I hesitated but obeyed his command.
My hair still covered one side of my eye as I raised my face. I was hoping he would notice my tears and ask me why.
I was wrong.
He looked at me and smiled, “Here are your birth control pills. Remember to take them“.
That was not what I expected…
