Chapter 58 Volume 2 -Different Worlds
Amara
I know it well.
The man I saw that day at the academy is my mate, my fated pair.
I lay on my bed in my sister's apartment. I had to move out of my school dorms because the news about my biological family blew up and my relationship with them was revealed to the public recently as well, so, to avoid trouble, I moved into the apartment with Grace and Mom since the apartment complex has high security.
I turned around and looked out the open window at the bright sky and sighed.
The moment my eyes landed on Killian, my wolf howled and jumped in excitement. The feeling was impeccable, like falling in love without any restraints.
But, he's an Alpha, and considering he was at the Alpha academy he must be from an elite family too. And that's what scared me.
When I recognized him as mine, I wanted to jump into his arms but I got scared. I could tell he was excited too but when he spoke to me, I jumped out of the excitement into an abyss of misery.
I can't speak...
I can't even hear properly without these hearing aids. I touched the device in my right ear and sighed.
My hearing is slightly better on the left side but I wear the device on my right. I can hear everything nicely with this but I can't speak. And I know he wouldn't even expect something like this because of the way he talked to me.
He wanted answers that I can't even voice.
I'm not a match for an Alpha like Killian. He and I live in different worlds. He's like a shining star and I live in the shadows.
The door to my room opened and Grace entered, "Are you ready?" She asked and I sat up.
Grace and I'll be starting college together. I know she's nervous too because of all the family drama that went on in the news. Her face is well known everywhere as well and I'm better in that regard since my face wasn't revealed.
I nodded and stood up, 'Will you be alright?' I signed and she nodded.
"Eli will be there with me." She smiled and I felt envious. Among all the odds, not only did she find her mate, but he's also a really caring person.
I pursed my lips as I put my backpack on my shoulders.
'Grace...' I looked down, 'I want to ask you something,'
"Yea?" She walked into the room, "What is it?"
I learned about Killian through Eli. Well basically, I saw them hanging out together and learned they're friends, so maybe Grace knows what kind of guy he is. They were group partners in the Alpha Academy as well after all.
And if Grace can be together with her mate, I can too, right?
'Well,' I paused soon after I started, 'It's nothing.'
What am I even thinking? How can I compare with Grace? She doesn't have a disability like me. Her voice is perfect, her hearing is perfect and because of the Alpha hormones she took, she's taller than me too. And now that she's grown her hair out a little and doesn't wear those ugly glasses anymore, she looks so perfect.
I pursed my lips tighter.
The day she starts wearing dresses and skirts instead of jeans and pants, people are going to swoon over her even though she's marked.
While on the other hand, I'm mute. Without the hearing aids, I'm deaf too. I clutched the straps of my bag in jealousy. And I'm short, shorter than other omegas...
A sharp pang stung my heart.
My mom's example is right in front of me, she found her pair, her fated mate, but dad didn't choose her.
Why would Killian choose me? People like me aren't a choice. And if I think about it, he must know I'm Grace's sister now... Or maybe he doesn't know... But he has made no attempt to talk to me again or even try to meet me.
"Amara?" My sister placed her hand on my cheeks and made me look at her, "Is something wrong? Are you nervous?"
Right the next instant I felt a little guilty. I'm happy for Grace, she's gone through a lot too but I wish I was normal like her. So, I wouldn't feel ashamed to be with my mate.
I placed my hands on her and shook my head
'I'm alright,' I gave her a smile, 'We're in different departments, so I'm just nervous.'
"I can understand." She held my hand, "But if anything troubles you, you can text me! I'll come running."
I squeezed her hand and smiled, then nodded, and we walked out of the room together.
"Well," Grace let my hand go when we entered the university, "I go this way." She pointed in the direction of the business department and I nodded. She wore a mask to avoid attention and began to walk away and I waved her goodbye. Then I waited for my friend, Nico, who was with me in high school.
I didn't have to wait long though, "Amara," I heard his voice and turned to look at him. Nico came over and smiled as he stood by my side, "I hope I'm not late."
I shook my head, 'I just arrived.' I became friends with Nico because he learned how to sign for me.
"That's good." He extended his hand out for me and I took it after which we began to walk towards our department.
Now here's the interesting thing, people believe that omega males don't exist, that they're a fantasy because of what's said about them. That's not true, they do exist but so rarely that no one believes it.
Nico is an omega.
Omega males are different from omega females although we're both at the bottom of the hierarchy. Male omegas are soft with cuter features and they always look a lot younger than their age. Now the thing about male omegas is that, they aren't exactly 'male'
They have both the male and female private parts, which actually makes them a hermaphrodite. They stand at a neutral level. I don't know why the ancestors decided to just label them as omega males but maybe they went with the logic, 'omega' equals fertility and feminine features and 'male' equals the other part.
One would think, how would they pair up with anyone? I don't see why the question was even raised though, they can pair up with anyone. And depending who they mark with, their bodies morph more towards the other sex.
I mean, we're both eighteen yet Nico looks fifteen. Well, not that I look like an adult either because I'm so short, so who am I to complain?
We walked to the design department when we heard some commotion. Apparently, there was a fight near the canteen.
"Let's check it out." Nico immediately began to pull me along with him even though I have no interest in violent things but Nico is very curious. I couldn't say anything to stop him and before I knew it we were in the crowd surrounding the two people in the fight.
Nico pushed us through the crowd which was making me uncomfortable. People were loud and hooting at the top of their lungs encouraging the violent behavior of whoever was in the fight.
In the wave of the crowd, my hand slipped out of Nico's grip and we separated shortly after which I was thrown out of the crowd while I tried to get away.
But there was a problem.
I was trying to go out but instead, I was thrown in front. I fell on my knees right in the center where I heard a violent punch and froze in fear. I was looking down but the person getting his ass kicked was still in my vision and I could see his bloody face.
Oh hell. My heartbeat increased.
This is frightening!!
I need to get out of here! I tried to gather my strength and stand up when suddenly everything around me went silent.
What?
I felt a gaze on me and slightly raised my head to see what was going on.
There was a man on top of the guy on the floor, beating the shit out of the poor guy but at the moment he was looking at me with his bloody fist in the air while his other hand was around the guy's collar.
Killian.
My jaw dropped when I saw him. His eyes glowed goldenly to indicate he was furious at something and although my wolf was overjoyed to see him, I was terrified.
Our eyes had met but my heart began to pound in terror.
