Love Me, My Omega! Chapter 17

“You’re not pregnant.” Those words felt comforting, but at the same time, I felt sad. Was I expecting that I was actually pregnant and that I’m going to have a baby?

I looked at Tristan, who was sitting on the chair across mine, and saw that he looked relieved.

Of course… Of course, he is relieved. Why would he ever want me to get pregnant when we barely even know each other? The only thing he knows about me is my name, and the same goes for me. I only know his name and nothing more.

“Um… I’ll pay you back for the bill,” I said when we got out. He looked at me and shook his head. “No, no, no. You don’t have to. It’s on me. It was my fault anyway,” he said and scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

Fault… So it really was a mistake, huh?

We were quiet once again as we went to his car. When we got inside, he asked, “Where do you live? I’ll drive you home.” I looked at him and saw the he was staring at me. “Um… You can just drop me off at the university. I still have something to do there,” I lied. I don’t really have anything to do there. In fact, I want to go home so bad. I’d feel more awkward if we’d stay together longer. The university is closer than my home, so I think it would be better if he’d drop me off there.

“Oh, alright.” He fastened his seat belt and I also did the same. And just like what I said, he drove me to the university. I got off and thanked him for driving me back. “Take care,” he said as he smiled at me. I waved goodbye at him and closed the door. I headed inside the school to make it seem like I actually have some business to take care of inside, so he wouldn’t suspect that I was lying.

“Who was that?” Ugh, that voice. That damned voice.

I turned to him and smiled sweetly. “My alpha.” Yes, yes. I am bluffing. I’m lying. Again. “Really? That was your alpha?” He said as he looked at the direction where Tristan’s car was. His car has already left so there was nothing to see there. I nodded, “Yes, Xander.” He pursed his lips and his brows furrowed. “What?” I said, looking at him weirdly. “Nothing. He seems pretty well-off,” he said and shrugged.

He does? I mean, yeah he does look like a wealthy alpha. From his looks to his things to his house and to the car that he drives. He does give off that kind of aura since everything he owns looks expensive.

I tilted my head a bit and said, “Well, I guess he is.” I continued walking while he followed me from behind. “Why are you following me?” I said as I walked. “Just because,” he replied. I did not mind him and just headed to the library.

Whatever. I’m just going to borrow a few books. I’m gonna study our lessons in advance.

After borrowing a few books, I noticed that Xander was still following me. I stopped walking and faced him. “Come on, Xander. Don’t you have anything else to do?” I frowned. “Hey, I just want to make sure you’re getting home safe. Is it that bad?” He said as he pouted. “Hey. You weren’t like this since you ignored me in high school. I mean, yes you were this caring, to the extent where you always wanted to make sure that I got home safe, but I don’t get your purpose now. Why are you doing this? I thought you already cut ties with me?” I said and raised my brow.

He was quiet for a while, and only the voices of other people can be heard. “What? Cat’s got your tongue?” He bit his lower lip and his eyes trembled as he looked at me. He sighed and said, “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.” My eyebrows scrunched because of what he said. “I would try my best to understand. But how could I, when you won’t even tell me anything?” I said while trying to look him in the eye.

He squeezed his eyes shut and opened them after. He sighed before speaking. “I’ll let you know soon, okay? Just allow me to take you home or just allow me to make sure you’ve already taken a ride home,” he said as he looked at me.

Sadness was can be seen in his eyes. Even though I have grown to hate Xander because of what he did before, I can’t deny the fact that I still have a soft spot for him.

“Fine. I’m getting on a bus. Don’t follow me after I get on,” I said and sighed, defeated. His face brightened up as if he was relieved to hear my response. “You have to be careful always, alright?” Just like what he promised, he just waited for the bus with me and he did not follow me after that.

I got home safely, and when I had arrived home, I turned the lights on and placed the books on top of the table.

Haaa… This day is so bad and tiring. I felt different kinds of emotions today, which was emotionally and mentally draining for me. But still… I can’t believe that I wasn’t pregnant. I really must be recessive. I mean, I did get my heat cycle very late, so it is evident that I am recessive.

I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water because I suddenly got thirsty. I opened the fridge and took the pitcher out. I poured water on my glass and proceeded to drink it. I placed the glass on the table and wiped my lips.

I looked at the wall clock and saw that it’s almost 7. When is Daryl going to arrive? I want to eat his food.

Whatever. I’m just gonna wait for him to get home. I have to change my clothes first.

I walked to my bedroom and just when I thought my day wasn’t going to get any worse, I found myself in a terrifying situation.

“What the hell happened here….?”
