I always believed that living as an omega was a terrible thing. They were always opposed to alphas, they were considered weak and had to go through many arduous aspects.

But it changed unusually when I confronted my fated mate.

He was a dominant alpha, Hyun Shik. Our families decided on our marriage, as Hyun Shik's family was finding a dominant omega to help them have a dominant alpha offspring.

It felt like a dream to be with my fated partner...

Maybe, It was only another dream.

Just after I gave birth to an Alpha Offspring, Hyun Shik commanded that I leave the mansion because I'm not needed anymore.

According to him, I was just someone who would bear an alpha child. He told me that he already loved someone and would've never been with me if not for his family's request.

Hearing him say these things, broke me. Broke my soul.

How could he say that? Was I just something he could use and toss when it was of no benefit to him?

He threw me out without a second thought. I was left all alone.

My family didn't reach out to me as they discovered that I've been kicked out.

It was cold, alone. I had nowhere to go. I tried phoning my friends, but none of them had time to hear about my anguish.

Lost in thoughts, I walked until I had no idea where I was.

An unfamiliar highway, it was. Without any trace of a person. I was lost. Well, I had nowhere to go anyway. But now, I didn't know the route to go back.

Go back to the old days. Go back and warn myself, to stop loving this man who was just using my womb.

My vision went blurry, I couldn't stop the tears that were streaming down my face. I wanted to know what I'd done wrong. Where did everything go wrong?

How could my life change like this?!

I trudged while walking with blurry vision. It was then.

*Honk Honk!!!*

"Huh"

.

.

.

.

*Screech*

*Crash!*

"A-ugh"

"****! I-I"

"W-what?! Ugh, I-I didn't --- I didn't do this!!"

The truck driver who had just crashed into a person on the highway was frightened.

"W-what should i-I do!?"

My already blurred vision was dyed red.

It...Hurts...

Is this how I was going to die?

The truck driver, without having a second thought, ran away from the scene.

The last thing I said to myself...was

"I-I..."

"o...ve"

Everything went dark.

.

.

.

.

"Up......Mr.Shik"

What's this sound?

" Please wake up Mr Ju"

ah.

this is...Secretary Woo.

But, why am I imagining his voice? Aren't I supposed to be dead?

Ah..yeah. I'm supposed to be dead. I was hit by that drunk truck driver.

Is this Hell? But why is Secretary Woo here?

I thought as I heard the commotions outside. But as soon as I opened my eyes, I was met with Secretary Woo's worried complexion.

Ah...this feels familiar..?

As I was guessing the explanations for the current situation, I heard Secretary Woo mumbling something.

"I don't know why you do this when you know you're weak to cold?"

"Do you not care for your body? Aiya, I don't know what will happen when you finally give birth to a child!"

Just as I heard the word child. Everything appeared back to me instantly.

I pinched myself hard with my left hand.

"Was it... a dream?"

'No. It couldn't just be an image. Everything I felt was too real for it to be a dream...'

'But if it wasn't a dream, then...What was going on?'

'Wasn't I supposed to be dead? Is this hell? Am I going to suffer this nightmare again and again?'

Afraid, I asked Mr Woo what date it was.

"Aigoo, Look at you, you don't even remember dates now?"

"Anyway, It's the 14th of March today"

"Huh, Umm...What year?"

"What--- Don't tell me that you forgot the year too! My God, I think I need to call a doctor fast!"

"Argh, No no, I was just simply asking."

"Huh? Mr Kyung Ju, It's currently the year 2021"

"Would you like to know something else?"

"A-ah, N-no."

"Alright then, May you please get off the bed and get ready? We have to get you to do the monthly checkup."

If it was the 14th of March, 2021, then...it means that I've just married Hyun Shik!

Was it all real? Was this reality? Am I...Am I back in the past??

I couldn't help but smile widely, If this was reality, then God has bestowed me with a second chance!

I would rectify all my missteps and fix them!

After suffering from this agony, I will not reiterate the same mistakes!!

I will build up my career which was left untouched when I married the Alpha.

But now I know that neither my 'Husband' nor my family would be with me in my demise. So I would be there for myself.

I won't allow others to shatter me again!

"Why are you grinning like that?"

Of course, Secretary Woo doesn't know the reason for my joy.

"Ah, I just had a nightmare so I'm glad that it was just a dream."

"You're getting weird day by day."

Even tho Secretary Woo was rude sometimes, He wasn't a bad person. But, he was loyal to his master. Even after following his master's order, He did give me some money for going back. But was it helpful when I didn't have anywhere to go back to?

But I will repay his kindness in this life.

"Are you going to get ready or not??"

"Ah, Yes yes!"

I smiled widely at him with my most sincere smile.

"I'll get Diabetes if you keep smiling like that."

"Hehe"

I got up to get to the bathroom for showering and getting ready.

Just as I turned towards the bathroom, I heard the door unlocking. Large steps could be heard clearly.

"What happened to him now?"

I halted on my way.

'Why...why was he here now?'

'Nothing like this happened in the past!'

Then I heard Secretary Woo explaining to him something.

"Ah, Sir..."

"You asserted that he had a high fever, but he seems fine?"

"Mr Ju has a fever. We were just going for the medical check-up."

"No need, I'll go with him this time."

My eyes went wide at the verdict.

I turned around, facing the cause of my nightmare.

"What? Why?"

Everyone stared at me in disbelief as I declared my concerns.

"Why, You ask? Because I'm your husband and I should be accompanying you to the medical checkups."

"B-but you didn't do it before?"

He had an odd expression on his face that I have never seen.

'What is this? Why does he want to go with me now?'

"But I will come with you, from now on."

What?! What is happening? This wasn't what I planned!

"**Get ready quickly, We will be leaving soon."

"Yes**.."

Noooooooo!!!!

"I'll come with you."

These words were never uttered towards me before.

"Why...?"

"Why? Do you ask? Because I'm your fated mate and your husband. I don't want my parents shrieking at me because I didn't accompany you."

"Ah... Ok"

Heh, What did I think? This man had never cared for me now or before. He just wants to avoid scolding from his parents.

But, this one phrase crushed the extremely trivial hope I had left.

"Yes, I'll be ready in a few minutes...You...You can wait outside"

He turned his heels and left the room, Secretary Woo left behind him accordingly.

Now there was no one besides me in this room.

"Hah~"

Sighing, I went to the bathroom to do the chores.

Looking in the mirror, I realised that now, I have to get free of this lethal relationship and rouse my fate by myself.

Before leaving my family and marrying into this house, I was an aspiring actor. Since I was an omega, It was sometimes hard for me since I would have sudden heat cycles.

But living with the Alpha, who wouldn't help me on my heat cycles, I taught myself to suppress it with suppressants.

Because of my acting skills, I was able to get many outstanding movie offers, but I rejected them and returned from the entertainment industry to look after my 'family'.

But now, I know that leaving my career for someone like this won't help me in the future or I will likewise end up with a similar doom.

I left my room after getting ready and went downstairs to the main hall, where everyone was waiting.

"Oh, You're here----"

"Ah...You're looking great...Mr Ju"

Secretary Woo smiled at me affectionately and I knew the reason.

When I was wed, I didn't want to dress up and be readied up for anyone else other than my husband. But the latter won't pay any mind to it. I stopped trying and live a pretty simple life from then on. But now, Since I didn't want to restrain myself from any foreign sentiments, I decided to get ready as I wanted to be.

"Hm"

Hyun Shik barely glanced my way, got up and started walking towards the car.

"Aiya, Let's hurry now Mr Ju, Master has a lot of work on his hands right now but he's still accompanying you."

"Yes..."

It was a quiet ride as there was only me and Hyun Shik in the car. Neither of us preferred to assert anything.

We arrived at the hospital pretty quickly.

.

.

.

.

"Have you felt anything strange, Mr Ju?"

"No."

"Then...Alright"

"You're all good then, these are the reports, you can check them. Have a good day"

The medic ensured me with a smile as I was about to leave the room.

"What did she say?"

"It's all right, Everything is fine."

" Alright then, I'll head to my office. You can go back to the mansion"

"Yes."

"Secretary Woo will escort you"

"Ah, Ok"

I wanted to leave hurriedly. As he turned to his car and left. I asked Secretary Woo something that I had been meaning to since this morning.

"Umm..Secretary Woo?"

"Yes, Mr Ju?"

"Can you drop me off somewhere?"

"I'm sorry, I don't think I'm allowed to do that."

"No no, I mean, Can you drop me at my brother's mansion?"

"If...If it's your family then I think... Yeah."

"Please wait, I will report this to Master then we can head there."

"Yes."

You might be wondering why I'm trying to go to my 'Brother's' house. Well, In the past, my eldest brother was somebody who would warn me about my marriage to Hyun Shik.

He never had any interest in fated mates whatsoever, he wouldn't tend to his fated mate even if he was to come across them. The one stuff he has cared about is his company.

Even after being away from our family for so many years, he succeeded in aviating his business. He was also one of the most compatible enemies of Hyun Shik's company had to deal with.

Because of this, I believed that the reason for my brother warning me about this marriage is nothing else but their business rivalry. That's why I didn't pay any heed to his opinion.

But now that I know what he meant by,

"Ju ah, You know that you're the only one I care about in this entire family. I want you to know something before your wedding. I hope you cancel it, I'm confiding you with this because I know what sort of person Hyun Shik is. And I believe that he already has someone he loves, he would not treat you nicely..."

That's why I'm going to visit my brother and explain to him that he was right...I do hope that he forgives me for not paying attention to him.

.

.

.

.

"Mr Ju, I will stay here until you get back. "

"There's no need Secretary Woo, I won't be leaving from here for a while so you should go back, I'll ask my brother to drop me off"

"Ah..Alright. Then I'll be leaving"

"Yes, Be careful when you drive on your way back"

after sending Secretary Woo away, I went inside my brother's house.

I was anxious but delighted to meet my after so much time too.

I was led to the main hall by the security at the front door.

"Umm.. where is Taejoo Hyung? "

"Master will be here any minute, please wait, young master."

"Ah, Ok"

After 15 minutes my brother arrived at the main hall.

"Long time no see, Young master"

"Hyung!"

I stood up at his arrival, dropping the newspaper I was reading on the floor.

My anxiety dropped the moment my brother smiled at me affectionately.

How much time has it been since I saw someone caring for me?

I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I looked at my brother.

"Hyung..."

"Huh? Did I do something to make you cry???"

"I don't think I did.....Why, Why are you crying like a baby? When will you grow up? Whimpering for no reason"

"I just missed you"

"Ah? I thought you would never think about me".

" How could that be? You're the only person who cares for me till now."

"What does that mean?" He asked me with a stern expression painted on I

his face.

"I----"

My throat let out a muffled sound. I was unable to speak anything for a second.

"Does Hyun Shik not treat you well?"

"See, I told you that he's a bastard!"

"I...I didn't know, I thought he would love me as I do.."

"hah, Stop these baby tears now"

He stroked the back of my head to soothe me. Maybe if I had listened to him, I would have been living a pretty promising life.

Hello! So there is some art I wanted to share, as I made it in my free time for my cover too! You can view it as a character design too.

Kyungju Kang.

21 y/o

Dominant Omega

_________________________________________________

"Brother...I- Missed you."

"I missed you too, Kyungju-ah"

"Did you go to the main house?"

"No...I wanted to see you first"

"Ah..is that so~"

"Seems like I'm your favourite one huh"

I felt elated after seeing my brother's pure smile. At the least, I still had someone to call family.

'

"Hyung...I have decided that I will leave Hyun Shik."

..."What are you babbling about."...

huh...

what..?

Why...why is Hyun Shik here!!

At the office.

"What? Why did he go there?"

"Didn't I tell you to return him to the mansion!"

"Secretary Woo, you do know that I'm your master right?"

"Yes...sir..."

"Then why the **** did you take this decision by yourself!"

"I-I'm sorry sir!"

Hyun Shik hung up the phone and rose from his seat, frustrated.

"Minji, prepare a car for me"

"Yes, sir. "

^^^[Minji is Hyun Shik's assistant.]^^^

..."What are you babbling about?"...

This voice belongs to Hyun Shik! But, why is he here, at Hyung's house!?

"How did you embark here."

"Hah, the person standing alongside you is my wife, Mr Taejoo"

"And I can be anywhere my wife goes, can't I?"

Anxiety spread through my heart. What was he doing here?

"But you can't intrude inside my mansion without my approval."

Even though hyung's voice was calm, it was clear that he was annoyed. Hyun Shik barged into his house without any warning.

"Come here."

Hyun Shik commanded.

"W-What..."

"I said, Come here, now."

I looked at my brother anxiously. I pleaded before him with my eyes. I knew he was irritated because of Hyun Shik's presence but I didn't want to leave with him, not when I knew that he had heard the contents of our discussion.

"My brother wants to stay with me for a few days, what's wrong with that?"

"Is that so? Why didn't you inform me beforehand?"

My brother snickered, "he can make decisions on his own. He doesn't require to inform you about every issue."

"Very well then, there's no need to come back to my mansion. "

He turned around and left with a grim face.

"Hah~, This man. You're staying with me from today onwards. "

"Yes, Hyung"

I knew that something like this would happen, either hyun shik would confine me in my room or throw me out.

He had always been like this...

I wonder what he would act like with the person he cherishes.

A bitter smile plastered my face while thinking of his substantial lover.

Let's...forget about it.

At Nighttime

After having dinner, I proceeded towards my brother's room to find him.

*Knock knock*

"Yeah, come in"

*Creak*

"Huh? Kyungju..? What are you doing here this late?"

"Ah...Hyung I wanted to ask you something..."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Actually... I was thinking about resuming my career."

"That...does that mean you want to continue to act? After a year?"

"Yeah...if that's possible"

"I've decided that I want to be a great actor and have a life of my own. I don't want to subsist with Hyun Shik.Anymore."

Taejoo stood there, wide-eyed. is it not possible?

"Ah...If it is so..then, I think you should do it!".

"I've known that you have exceptional acting skills. So, do you want to renew the contract with your old company?".

" Yeah."

The company I used to work for was S

Entertainment.

It was a promising corporation. But I don't know if they will want to renew their contract with me. As "He" Would be there too.

"Yes, I, I'll see if they would still sign me in or not."

"Why would they not? You were their notable actor!"

"But, it's been some time since I left... What if they don't want me to work under them?"

"Well, then you can always confirm a contract with my company."

"Ah..?"

"Yes."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night. I dreamt about my past. it was a miserable nightmare. I didn't want to face it again...

"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you still standing here!?"

"I-I'm your fated partner! You can't just tell me to leave!"

Then comes the grim voice of another person.

"Hyunshik-ah...I know that you want that person to leave...but he's still your 'Fated Pair'"

He was behind Hyunshik, I could see him grinning behind...

"Why..."

"Why are you doing this...?"

"You're the one creating a scene, I told you to leave the house!"

.

.

.

"But I didn't do anything!! It...I saw it was him!"

.

.

"W-What? Why are you lying Kyungju?"

"Hyunshik..."

"You! You're deliberately doing this!!"

"Stop. Didn't I tell you to leave?!"

"We'll discuss this matter later, so leave for now."

Why...Why was he blaming me...when..when I didn't do anything?

Why do they always blame me?..What?..What about my child?

ah...He----

-

-

-

"Ju-ah.."

"Kyungju ah..."

"Huh. H----Yung?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"Ah..yes.."

"It was really scary"

"Aigoo, Look at you, you're a crying mess"

Suddenly I felt the tenderness that I lacked in my past. I snuggled into the warmth. Now, I have a family. And all I want to be is happy. I just want to find the peace that was lost after my marriage to Hyunshik.

"Ahh, I'm sorry,"

"Aiya, that nightmare must have frightened you badly. Don't worry it was just a dream, forget it now. Get up and have breakfast, we have loads of work to do!"

"Ahh..yes"

Getting up from bed, I realised that I was late.

"Oh..no! "

*Brrrrrr Brrrrrr*

... Caller ID: Stacy...

huh?

Stacy?
