Naked truth

>>Mael

I was losing my mind. I hadn't been marked yet so the scent of any Alpha would be appealing to my wolf, although, I myself, was disgusted and didn't want this, yet, I was still yearning for it. And exactly because I wasn't marked either, everyone could smell the sweet and seductive pheromones being released from my body.

"Oh God..." I heard someone say it but I couldn't focus.

"It's messing with my mind."

My body started trembling and I felt helpless.

"This is the sweetest scent I've smelt."

"I want a taste."

This is exactly why nobody likes omega werewolves. Unmarked ones not only end up causing Alpha werewolves to go into a rut but they also cause trouble for themselves.

This is why we're at the bottom of the chain.

I felt some hands come towards me when the door slammed open.

"Get away from her!!" I heard someone growl. Two people fought through the crowd but froze when they came closer.

Calix and Killian.

Two Dominant Alpha werewolves.

The moment they grasped the situation they stepped back. My pheromones were even worse for dominant werewolves. But they still did what they could do to keep the others off of me but what were two people against twenty?

"Wait," Wendy laughed while pinching her nose, "We have a surprise for you." From the little sanity I had left, I looked toward her as she opened the door and a number of reporters poured in.

The flashes of light made me shut my eyes and I don't know when someone clawed my shirt and ripped it, exposing the chest binder I was wearing.

I screamed and a third person came in, pushing the reporters and others aside, he transformed into his wolf and lunged at the others.

"Grace!" Someone spoke in my mind, "Stand up and run!!" He howled at his opponents.

I honestly didn't have the energy to do anything. I was losing consciousness and had no energy in my legs. I tried to stand up as the noise of growls and howls erupted in the place but my feet slipped and I came back to my place.

I could no longer see properly and the beasts around me still hadn't stopped spreading their pheromones that were intoxicating me.

Beads of sweat trickle down my body. As I tried to pick myself up with my face down, a stream of sweat caused by excessive body heat traveled from my forehead to my nose, then jumped to the floor.

There was no hope for me.

I couldn't do it alone.

At the end of my wits, right before I collapsed, I felt someone grab my hand and pull me away.

***

I woke up when something wet began to pour on my face.

Trickle, trickle, that turned into a drizzle.

When the droplets of rain began to drop on my face, I had to force my eyes open only to find myself in a dark alley.

My blurry vision adjusted and I noticed Laina was sitting across from me looking at her phone in a crouched position.

"What...?" I weakly half sat up and looked at her, "What is?" I looked around with my arms supporting my body weight and it came back to me, what had happened in the classroom.

My eyes went wide at the disgusting memory as the rain began to pour harder. Goosebumps erupted on my body and shivers went down my spine again and again as all of it cleared in my mind.

"Oh..." I had no idea what to say and that was all that came to mind

Wait!

I looked at Laina, "The reporters..." The alley was quite narrow and we were against the walls of either side, right in front of each other.

She turned the phone towards me, "Your father fainted," She spoke with a grim expression, "He refused to accept the truth and was taken to the hospital." I saw the articles that the reporters posted about me and my identity.

A huge heavy boulder of guilt fell on me, the weight of which started to make me feel miserable. I looked down at the ground again and slumped toward it a little in misery.

The rain began to give rise to the fog as it spared no one from its abuse.

It's over.

Everything's done for.

I've failed.

I shook my head at myself when suddenly something clicked.

I gulped, "Was it you?" I softly raised my head to look at her, "Who got me out of the classroom?" She nodded, "How did you know?" I looked at her with a stern look.

It was clearly a planned attempt to expose me, so how did she know to be there at the exact moment.

"I was the one who figured it out." She looked away, at the exit of the dead-end alley, "That you're an omega."

"What...?" Of course, it came as a surprise. I knew something was off so it was news to me.

"I learned how to sign," While my eyes were on her, her gaze followed the people running around frantically in the rain, trying to find shelter, "I wanted to surprise you and Amara but before I could, I got to know about your dark truth."

The rain had drenched me, from head to toe. The sound of the droplets falling had gotten loud and it got cold yet I couldn't focus on any of that as I kept my dumbstruck gaze on Laina.

"So..." She didn't look at me, "You told them?" My pupils began to shake and I clenched my fists, "You told the other Alphas?!"

She didn't try to hide it, "I did," She finally turned her head towards me, the rainwater streaming down her face, all of her drenched like I was, "I really didn't think it would get this bad."

"Why?" My feelings and mind were in such a mess that I wanted answers before getting angry.

"Because you lied to me." I couldn't exactly tell what her expressions were like because the rain got so heavy I had to constantly keep wiping my face but I could tell that she did regret something. What? I don't know.

"I would have been-" I paused, I couldn't bring myself to say the word, "If, if I hadn't escaped."

"I know," We looked at each other, "But I pulled you out, didn't I?" She looked away again, at the open street that was now clean of people, "I put you in danger but I pulled you out too." She wiped her face, "It evens out right?"

Her words angered me. How could she take it lightly?

"The danger hasn't ended!" I finally raised my voice, "You ruined everything! You exposed my biggest secret!" I sat up straight, "Everything is crumbling down because of you!!" I let the wrath inside me finally be conveyed with my voice.

"You're living a lie!!" She screamed back at me, "Your whole life is a lie!" She yelled so hard, my ears hurt even though the rain was there to numb out the scream, "You're a liar!!!" She stood up and glared at me, "Don't act like you're the victim here when all you do is bluff."

We both glared at each other.

"If anything," She gritted her teeth, "I may have done a favor for you."

"You don't know what you've done." I shook my head at her.

"You won't be living a lie anymore." She folded her arms, "Maybe because you're an idiot. You didn't realize how many people you've hurt because you've continued to live like this."

"I was trying to find solutions!"

"Like hell!!" She pointed, "You were only running away."

"What?"

"All these years and what solution? You just took on this mask of being someone else and kept going with it!! What solution did you try!?!" She glared at me, "None!!" Her words stung, perhaps because they were right, "You're nothing more than a liar." She looked away, "But if you still blame me, fine," She began to walk away, "Let's end our friendship here."

She walked away, out of the alley, then out of sight. Leaving me alone in the dirty, and dark place.
