Chapter 5: A Greedy Omega
Murmurs erupted within the entire hall. People were judging her, looking at her with contempt in their eyes. A night ago, she had been known as Patro Zolotov's wife and today...here she was ready to march to the altar with Malakai Basti.
The announcement of their divorce had been made by Patro the night the Morin should have killed her and the news made her a villain. Nothing in the news dictated his abuse, nor even the fact that he was holding her father hostage. They didn't state how he was after her life or how he'd dismissed a child that was his.
Poor omega like her. Who would believe her over an alpha? A known one at that.
"Are you serious?" It was Patro. The man barked out a laugh of disbelief as he began to approach Eve where she stood with Malakai, yet to walk the altar. The guests were on their feet now, looking judgmental and confused.
"You really are an interesting woman, Eve. Malakai? Seriously? Is he the reason why you divorced me?"
"What?" Eve gaped at him. "What are you talking about? You're the one who—"
Patro bristled, "I never thought you would stoop this low, Eve. You've been sleeping with Malakai behind my back, haven't you?" He began chuckling like she'd hurt him. "That is why you two were so eager to get married not even two days after our divorce. What have I done to you, Eve? Wasn't I a good enough Alpha? Or is it because Malakai has suddenly risen to the top and you are too greedy to stick with me?"
His nasty gaze shifted to Malakai for a split second before they returned to Eve. The audience didn't see the cruel smirk but she caught it.
"You are a very greedy little thing, do you know that? Omegas, of course you are. I did everything for you but you broke my heart, rejected me and went with him, the better option. Ha, I hate to say it, but that hurts, you know."
Then he turned to the crowd before Eve could speak. "This is sad, isn't it? Marrying your mate and loving her, giving her everything, only for her to break you apart, cheat on you and choose another man, just because he is one step ahead of—"
"Liar!" Eve grabbed him and spun him around, slapping him hard across the face. "How dare you? What are you saying? I never—"
"Really, Eve?"
