Chapter 6

Adara's POV… 

I went back to the guest room, so sad and depressed, I felt so irritated and tried to avoid thinking about him, but my annoyance couldn't let me. The more I tried not to, the deeper I got into his thoughts. I sat down on the chair and found myself on a journey of thoughts. I tried not to take it personally, as I called the omega standing at the front of my room to discuss it with him. 

“Hey please, May I have some time with you?” I asked politely. 

“Sure,” he responded and came into my room. I felt a bit happy for honoring my request but also felt tamed and did not know where exactly I had to start my question. 

“Sorry to bother you, please. I wanted you to tell me everything you know about the alpha. I shouldn't have asked, though, but I need to know. Please, I wanted you to tell the truth,” I asked, dominantly. I saw him pause for some moment, then he proceeded to ask, “Why do I have to tell you? Are you truly her mate? Asked the omega. 

“Yes, I could feel it. My feelings were not wrong,” I responded emotionally, knowing that he didn't believe me. 

“Haha,” he laughed at me, then continued. “Why did everyone want to be the alpha's mate? I wonder why a stranger like you is also claiming to be the alpha's mate,” said the Omega jokingly. I felt so irritated by his words, but I tried to control my anger. 

“This wasn't my fault, and I didn't just choose myself, but the gods did, and could feel it,” I explained. 

“What could you feel? How could that happen” asked the Omega. 

His question shocked me, I stayed solemnly where I was and didn't know how to explain, my mind traveled so far and fast and plenty of questions arose in my mind. 

“What could I feel and why him?” Those are the questions I can't stop asking myself, but I believe that I could feel it, a touch of the feeling that he's my mate. 

“What could you feel, and why do you suggest that he's your mate?” asked the omega again after a long silence from me. 

“I could feel my heart attached to him and these are true feelings,” I responded. 

The Omega looked less concerned, and he showed no interest in my words. He felt tired immediately, and he excused himself to my room. I felt more sad and I became frightened as I was left in a state of melancholy. 

I felt grouchy, but no one was ready to listen to me. The more people I speak with, the more irritated I am, so I don't know what else to do. Everyone seems so upset with me and no one is interested in talking to me. The only idea and thought that came into my mind now was to escape from this prison, the prison in which my destiny had led me. 

I felt so depressed and confused, with no traces of hope. Left with no hope. A man came to me and gave me a bunch of hope. 

“Hey, may I come in?” I heard a voice calling as I was lost in a state of melancholy. I felt shock immediately and came back from the long journey in thoughts. 

“Please come in,” I responded without even knowing who the person was yet. The person came in with a plate of apples in his hand. “Don't you mind?” asked the man as he pointed one at me. 

I hesitated before deciding whether to take the apple from him, but ultimately concluded that collecting it was the best choice for me, especially since the apple represents peace and love. 

“Thanks please!” I responded as I collected the apple from him. 

“May I know who you're?” I asked. 

“I'm Jameson, Asher's uncle. I was just passing by, and I saw you in a state of melancholy. I couldn't just let go, that's why I'm here,” he responded. 

I felt exhilarated at that moment and I couldn't hide my feelings. “Thanks so much for your concern,” I responded excitedly then continued “Yes, I'm down and so sad. No one believes me, including the alpha. That's why I'm so depressed,” I explained. 

Jameson became so horrified, and he could understand my feelings. “I know how awful you are feeling, especially after the alpha treated you that way, but you have to act brave, besides it wasn't his fault, but he had to,” said Jameson. 

I felt confused and couldn't help but to question; “why wasn't it his fault? I need to know,” I asked, confused. 

“Yes, it wasn't his fault. It was a prophecy that bound us and left us with no option,” he explained. 

“A prophecy!, sorry I seem not to understand,” I commented

“Yes, a prophecy, it has been stated according to the prophecy that all the alpha will reject their mate unconsciously, and this has been in existence for generations” He explained better.

I felt touched hearing this, but I'm still confused. 

“Why must the alpha reject their mate, and why does that have to be your custom?” I asked confusingly. 

“Yes I'm confused too and that's what I don't know either” he responded.

I get more confused the more I think about it, and I suggest that the best option for me is to just let it go for that moment, not to provoke Jameson. I thanked him for his time and I became a bit relieved at least knowing why the alpha had to reject me. 

As he was about to leave my room, a question arose in my mind which caught my attention. It may sound personal, but I needed to ask to put my heart at ease and my worries about provoking him were left aside immediately. I quickly moved closer to the door and blocked him from getting out. “May I have a few more minutes?” I requested seductively.

“Yes, if you have something important to say” he responded generously.

I felt touched and happier by his response. I try to rethink my question often and wonder how it would sound when telling him, also wondering how he could react. But I believed that whatever it might be was my faith. 

“Hope you won't get angry with my question?” I asked shyly. 

“Yes, you may ask,” he responded. 

My worries were gone after hearing this, and I felt eager to ask. “Where you married” I question. 

Jameson looked into my eyes with a lot of suppression and wondered why I had to ask such a question. He couldn't help but ask why. 

“Why are you asking, do you want to be my side chick? '' responded Jameson jokingly. 

“Side chick!” I questioned, and I couldn't hold my laughter. We both laughed for a few minutes before later getting serious after I noticed that he had paused laughing. 

“Well, I'm a single man with no wife or children,” Jameson explained. 

I felt sad about this and Hardly believed it. 

“Why haven't you married?” I questioned.

“ Hmm” Jameson took a deep breath and then spit it out. “Not that it's my decision, but I had to, since I had to, I could do nothing to make it right,” said Jameson emotionally

. 

I'm sad to be left in the darkness, and I felt everything strange about this peak. The thoughts about my first day at the Asher's chamber flash through my head and I become emotional, the thoughts about my parent's death make me share tears and the thoughts about avenging their death give me strength and a reason to move on. I intend to endure every obstacle that comes my way until I find out the truth about all this illusion that led to my concussion. 

A few minutes later, I heard a knock on the door, and I opened it to confirm that it was a maid. 

“I'll have to leave now,” Jameson commented and stood up to work out of my room. 

“Thanks for your time,” I responded as I watched him leave.
