Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: A Different Omega

Dane’s POV

I noticed the uneasy look on her face the moment I stepped into the library.

I hadn’t expected to see her here... what the hell was she doing here? I thought she was a maid or something, but now I realized she wasn’t dressed in uniform like the other staff, which means she wasn’t a maid, and the way she sat at the desk I realized she was the librarian.

I walked deeper into the library, ignoring her just as much as she was ignoring me, heading straight for the shelf I needed. But every few seconds, my eyes flicked to her. And what pissed me off? She didn’t look. Not once. She didn’t glance at me. Didn’t bat an eyelash. Didn’t even seem interested that I was there.

I was Dane Blackwell—future Beta of the Snow Moon Pack. Girls usually stared. Hell, most couldn’t stop themselves. Even Alphas’ daughters tried to get my attention. But not her. An omega. An omega who looked at me like I was nothing.

I clenched my jaw. I hated omegas. Always had. Weak. Quiet. Sneaky. Most of them just wanted to climb higher than their rank allowed. And they’d do anything to get there. Yet... this one didn’t even seem to care who I was. Why did that bother me? Why did I care?

Frustration churned in my chest, and before I could stop myself, I turned around and walked back toward her desk. She didn’t lift her head.

"Do you always ignore people? "You work here, don’t you? Shouldn’t you be helping me?" I said coldly.

She looked up slowly, calmly. "Do you always talk to people this rudely?"

Her tone wasn’t rude—but it wasn’t submissive either. It was... neutral. Too neutral. I narrowed my eyes.

"You talk too freely for someone who’s just an omega," I snapped.

She blinked. "And you judge too quickly for someone who doesn’t even know me."

That set something off inside me.

"You’re just an omega," I growled. "Don’t forget that."

Her lips parted, shocked. But instead of looking hurt or scared, she tilted her head slightly, her eyes narrowing.

"What did an omega ever do to you?" she asked softly. Calmly.

That question hit deeper than I expected. Memories flashed. Pain I hadn’t thought about in years. I clenched my fists and barked, "They destroy homes. That’s what omegas do." My voice dropped. "My mother treated one like a sister. Brought her into our home. Loved her like family. And how did she repay that kindness? By sleeping with my father. By ripping our family apart."

I didn’t realize how loud my voice had gotten until the echo bounced off the library walls. She sat still... watching me. No pity. No fear. Just... understanding.

"Not all omegas are like that," she said quietly.

I scoffed, jaw tight. "Yeah? How would you know?"

"Because I am one," she said. "And I’d never do that to anyone. Some people destroy homes, Dane. It has nothing to do with their rank. It has to do with who they are."

Her words made something shift in me. But I didn’t like it. I didn’t want to feel anything right now.

She turned her gaze away from me and continued reading the book in front of her.

Rage and confusion buzzed through my chest. Turning away, I grabbed a book at random from one of the shelves. But instead of leaving like I’d planned, I dropped onto one of the reading couches and sat down.

I didn’t know why. I didn’t want to stay... but for some reason, my legs didn’t move. I opened the book and realized it was a romantic book, and immediately I frowned. I hate romance. Why can’t two people just meet up, fuck and go on with their lives? Why must there be feelings attached. I read the first Chapter, scoffed and rolled my eyes. Lovers meeting, falling in love, destiny, soulmates... all that crap. I hated it. I didn’t believe in love. I didn’t believe in mates, either.

My brows shot up. Two? I blinked, then chuckled darkly. "Who? Other omegas like you? A couple of guards? Warriors maybe?"

She smiled faintly. Like she wasn’t even trying to impress me.

"No, actually," she replied. "One of them is Callum Linton—the Alpha heir of the Nightshade Pack."

That name hit me like a punch. Before I could react, she added, "And the second is your cousin."

My jaw clenched. "Nathan?"

She nodded once, then looked back down at her book like that was the end of the conversation. Like I didn’t matter.

I stared at her, my blood boiling, and for the first time... I didn’t know what to say. Callum and Nathan both asked her to be their date for tonight? What the hell is happening? What is so special about her that the two wanted her as a date? And I knew she was clearly not lying. I thought she was done, but she continued.

"But I’m sure," she said, voice calm but sharp, "the girl you were banging earlier would be glad to take your offer. She looked... eager enough."

The smirk that followed made my blood boil. I stared at her, my jaw tight, my fists clenched. For the first time, I felt like I had been challenged and I, Dane Blackwell, love challenges.

I lifted my chin before muttering. "Name your price."

She lifted her head and furrowed her brow at me.

I continued. "Be my date for tonight, and I will grant any requests of yours!"
