The Omega For Sale

My heart thumped heavily in my chest as I made my way up the grand stairs that led to the Alpha’s room with the cleaning supplies in my hands.

It had been a week since I had last performed this routine and for some reason I was feeling anxious about the entire situation.

The last one week had been ‘normal’ for both Jessy and I, and since we usually lacked that a lot, it turned out to be such a reprieve from the traumatizing events of the previous week.

Two positive things that had happened during this break was the fact that Jessy was doing much better, the healer had been around twice to see her and on both occasions she had said that my baby was doing very okay and that was even surprised at how fast she was healing.

The second was that I was yet to see the Gamma any where around. I had been overly protective over Jessy and anxious that the man might come back at any point and try to snatch her from me again.

None of those had happened, although on second thoughts the last and only time he had visited my room the Alpha had referred to the Gamma as former, so maybe it might be that he no longer had access to the mansion.

That spelt good news for me. Slowly, it was starting to sink in that maybe I might never see him again and that made me relax a whole lot.

Jessy had begun experiencing some separation anxieties and I felt bad for her. I could tell that the events had affected her more than her three years old self could express in words but her actions were a clear indication of just how much.

The only people Jessy truly felt comfortable and safe around now were myself and Christie. The latter having taken the responsibility of watching Jessy whenever I couldn’t even more seriously.

I could see a part of Christie struggle to deal with guilt. I knew the other girl felt like it was her fault that the unlucky incident had happened even when that was very far from the truth and I had tried to convince her otherwise time and time again but it was to no avail.

Walking up to the Alpha’s door I hesitated for a minute, pricking my ears to listen for any sound that he may be awake but when none came, I twisted the knob of the door and stepped into the space before shutting the door quietly behind me.

I could make out the Alpha’s sleeping frame on the bed and I carefully set the cleaning supplies that I had brought onto the floor before walking towards the big drapes to pull them open.

The Alpha’s mansion was no doubt the most beautiful architectural work I had ever seen, from the compound to the interiors, everything screamed luxury, elegance and wealth, but the Alpha’s room had taken the cake.

The magnificence of the space was nothing that I could ever describe properly. From the color coordination to the items that were arranged into the room, every single thing seemed to have been made for a king.

Reaching the drapes, I pulled them completely open, bathing the room in the warm sunrise glow. The garden below caught the light beautifully and I could see all the life that it held on perfect display.

Sighing dreamily at the beautiful sight, I turned around to find the Alpha awake with his eyes on me.

Cold, deep, intense grey eyes that never failed to raise the hair on my skin. How long had he been awake for?

“G-good m-morning Master.” I stuttered, doing my best to avoid his intense stare.

The Alpha watched me for what seemed like a long time in my uncomfortable state but was probably only a few seconds before he hummed in acknowledgment, the deep sound sending a wave of heat to my face.

“Good Morning Freya.” He replied and I gulped loudly.

“It’s good to see you back at work, trust that yourself and your daughter are doing much better.” The Alpha asked.

“Yes, thank you very much for giving me the time off. It really helped a great deal.”

“Well I’m glad to hear that.” Came his reply and he just continued to watch me from his spot on the bed.

I nodded my head rapidly for no reason other than the fact that his deep, husky morning voice stunned me into a state of confusion, before turning away from him and walking away.

I walked in the direction of the bathroom, twisting the knobs that controlled the water for the tub until the right temperature began to flow out.

Once I was satisfied with that, I pulled open the cupboards and added some soap and soothing oils into the water, before trying to mix the combination with my arms, creating bubbles in the water.

Once the water looked good enough in the tub, I turned it off and walked out of the bathroom.

The sight of the Alpha stretching in a spot by his bedside with only a pajama bottom and no shirt, halted me in my spot.

His abs were mouth watering and the light that streaked in through the window looked like it was on a mission, it highlighted his perfect body and casted him in an ethereal light.

His features looked softer in this relaxed state and it was hard to believe that this was the same stoic man from the punishment all those nights ago.

I heard a click of tongue and that seemed to snap me out of the daze that I had previously been trapped in and when I looked to his face, he had the ghost of a smile painting his lips and his brows were furrowed in amusement.

He began to walk towards me and my heart began thundering in its cage. I took a step back but it barely deterred him as he only continued to walk in my direction.

I froze in spot and only continued to watch him but when he got to where I was stood he simply walked past me and into the bathroom and I could hear the last of his chuckles at my behavior ring out causing me to blush red in embarrassment.

I began my quick chore of changing the sheets, dusting off the surfaces and sweeping the room. It was obvious that another maid had taken up the duty in my absence as the room still held its sparkle even when I hadn’t cleaned it in a week.

Packing up the cleaning equipments, I made my way out of the room and in the direction of the supply store, hoping to round up on this and set up the Alpha’s breakfast before he came down the stairs.

“Mommy!” Jessy’s cheery voice greeted me the moment I came into the kitchen.

The sound of her light voice made me feel relieved. She was gradually coming around and the thought made me happier than I could express.

“Hi!” I greeted back smiling down at my daughter that currently had her arms wrapped around my legs in a hug.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“I’m done making breakfast, you just need to set the table.” Christie called out and I gave her a small grateful smile which she returned.

“Are you alright?” She paused to say and I furrowed my brows in confusion.

“Yes, I am. Why are you asking?”

Christie paused for a second to observe me and whatever she seemed to find on my face amused her, she simply shrugged her shoulders before saying.

“You looked a little flushed.”

Flushed? What did that mean?

I had no time to interrogate her on her cryptic words so I simply squinted in her direction to let her know the conversation wasn’t over. To which she only laughed out too before returning to the chore at hand.

I began piling the food into a tray.

“Mommy, I want to help.” Jessy requested, pulling on my dress slightly to get my attention.

I handed her the plastic bowl of fruits to carry, making sure that she had a firm grip on it before letting go.

Though the container was plastic, I still couldn’t risk her accidentally dropping it and letting the contents of the bowl pour out.

“Be careful. Come on, let’s go.” I called out, Letting her walk in front of me before I also moved in the direction of the dining room.

I began setting the plates carefully onto the table before taking the bowl out fruits out of her hands and placing it on the table.

“Thank you baby, you were so helpful.” I praised and Jessy gave me a smile so bright that it made my heart skip two beats.

I returned the smile and bent down to place a small kiss on her before returning to setting the table.

“Good Morning Mastah!” Jessy called out cheerfully and I froze in my spot.

Turning around gently, I saw the Alpha perched by the door watching us with careful eyes. He had a small smile on his lips and I couldn’t exactly tell where it was from.

Jessy’s cheery greeting or observing us.

“Good morning Jessy.” He called out offering a slightly bigger smile to my daughter, who returned an even wider smile.

“How are you feeling?” He asked and Jessy turned confused eyes to me.

I could see that she didn’t know what the correct answer to that question, but when I nodded my head at her, the silly girl simply did the same to the Alpha, nodding her head in his direction.

Amusement danced on the Alpha’s face as he continued to watch us in silence.

Finally he clicked his tongue, breaking the silence in the room.

“Would you like to join me for breakfast?” He suddenly asked and a small gasp escaped my lips along with the feeling of all the air in my lungs exiting.

The request was more than I could immediately process and my entire body felt giddy as a result.

“Yes!” Jessy’s voice came again and my eyes widened in realization.

He had been talking to Jessy.
