On our last date, Sebastian promised to meet me at the ice cream shop. I waited for him to show up and he messaged me that he was around the corner. I waited 15 minutes for him but he was late. I called him only to find that he had to run to Ravena’s aid. She needed help moving her couch from one side to another side of her room. As an alpha, he can send someone to help her but he ran all the way to her home just to perform this trivial task.

“Is he ignoring me because I am nothing but an omega?” I asked myself but then shook my head. I was doing nothing but overthinking about everything.

“Today is my birthday, and Sebastian can’t do this with me. There's no need to think about that beta girl.” I gave myself a pep talk and opened Instagram. A notification popped up, which was enough to break my heart in several pieces.

‘Model Ravena Morelli got the best surprise from her doting boyfriend’

‘Ravena Morelli is enjoying the snow on Mount Fuji’

Tears rolled down my cheeks, and a broken sob escaped my lips. Ravena was standing with Sebastian on a snow-covered mountain with a small heart made of snow in her glove-covered hands. Sebastian had a doting smile on his face while his eyes were fixated on Ravena’s face as if she were the most beautiful thing on the face of the earth. I looked around and a ball of tears got stuck in my throat. I was sitting here alone in my apartment with all the windows closed because of those damn security reasons, according to that so-called Alpha’s protocol, while he was spending his time with his sweetheart.

“Who am I to him? Was I just a replacement for Ravena in her absence, or what? No! I can’t be someone’s second choice, no matter what!” I mumbled and angrily wiped my tears. They were playing with snow and I saw the video of them, then threw my phone aside.

I went to the refrigerator and picked up my cake. I started eating my cake all alone with tears rolling down my cheeks.
