A Rude Awakening: Rejecting My Alpha

BLUE:

"What is it?" he quizzed when he noticed how I was staring at him.

"You just called me Ivy..."

He shrugged. "So?" was what he said before walking away from me.

That wasn't a coincidence. Ivy must be the name of the girl I saw him with. And she must mean a lot to him for him to mix up her name with mine.

I was Lorenzo's mate but he has never treated me like one since I moved in with him. He kept treating me more like a property that he owned and could discard any time he wanted.

I had been warned before doing what I did but I chose not to listen because I loved and still love Lorenzo. I guess I was just a fool then.

Evening came and I had to join the omegas to cook dinner. I shouldn't even be in the kitchen in the first place as there was enough omegas to handle that but Lorenzo always insisted on me doing the cooking because I had the 'best hands'.

Once I was done cooking, I went to set up the dinning table for myself and Lorenzo. I was almost through with that when he got to the dinning area and immediately said: "Set the table for an extra."

I stopped what I was doing and looked at him. "Are we expecting a guest?" I asked.

Without looking at me, he responded: "Yes."

I began to wonder who it was going to be because he never mentioned that we were having a visitor. It's a good thing I cooked in excess or I would never be able to find something for whoever the visitor is.

I rushed back into the kitchen and got extra utensils for the guest. And by the time I got back to the dinning room, there was indeed a visitor.

I stood transfixed on the spot when I saw who it was. It was a lady with long brown hair that flowed down to her waist. Why did it shock me? Because this was the same hair color I saw on the woman that I saw Lorenzo kissing.

It took me a while to get a hang of myself. I snapped out of it when I heard laughter only to realize it was coming from the lady who was probably laughing to something funny that Lorenzo said.

"Good thing you're here," Lorenzo said as soon as I began to put the utensils on the table. "This is Ivy, the daughter of Lion Watch pack's Alpha. She's here on a courtesy visit."

A courtesy visit? Ridiculous. Who was he trying to fool?

"Like he said, I'm Ivy. And you must be Blue, right? Lorenzo told me so much about you..." The lady said, revealing all of her thirty-two as if to appease me. I simply nodded in return as I took a seat.

I have already put two and two together. It was really her that I caught him making out with. There was no doubt about it anymore. And the guts to actually bring her here and eat the food that I cooked was beyond comprehension.

"You are going to enjoy this. Blue makes the best meals," Lorenzo said to her while trying to appeal to me by complimenting my cooking.

I watched from my seat as both of them conversed like they were long lost friends. I have never seen Lorenzo this free spirited and it broke my heart that I might never get to experience this side of him.

I must have zoned out again because the cutlery in my hand suddenly dropped to the floor, interrupting the flow in the room.

Realizing what I had done, I swiftly bent to pick up the cutlery and it was just in time for me to see what the shameless people were doing away from sight.

Ivy had her hand on my mate's thigh but quickly took it off when she saw me bending. It was too late though because I had seen enough.
