Whispers of The Marked Omega Chapter 03

I told him to pull over when we neared my run-down neighborhood.

“Stop right here.”

He glanced over at me, then his gaze dropped down slowly.

His eyes locked onto the tangled scar tissue covering my chest, the old carved words still faintly visible beneath my fresh burn mark—the permanent mark he had left on me as an Alpha.

“…Enzo?” I froze in place, not daring to move an inch.

In the next instant, he leaned forward and sank his teeth fiercely right into that old branded scar.

All the bitter memories flooded back in an instant, a faint mate bond sparking briefly between us, drawing out a soft whimper from the wolf deep inside me.

Agony exploded across my chest, stinging my eyes and leaving me utterly dazed. I arched my back, struggling to twist away, yet he seized both my wrists and pressed them firmly down against the car seat to hold me still.

He pressed his teeth deeper, tracing every curve of the carved words as if desperate to erase them completely.

“Does your father know you’re selling yourself out like this?” His hot breath fanned over my skin, thick with potent Alpha pheromones. “The respectable professor’s own daughter reduced to a common whore. I bet that would send him straight into another heart attack.”

“I suppose you wouldn’t dare take his charity money either, seeing as you’re his own flesh and blood.”

His hatred toward me still burned fiercely because of that past incident.

Back then, Mia, his perfect so-called victim, came to my father’s place every night for private tutoring lessons. When she failed to get accepted into her dream conservatory, my father could only express sincere regret for her. That was when malicious rumors began to spread like wildfire.

Mia publicly accused my father of abusing his position to harass her, then attempted suicide by slitting her wrists right after posting her accusation online.

My father collapsed completely under the public backlash and shut himself away at home day after day. That was exactly when Enzo began his ruthless revenge plan against my whole family.

He never bothered to dig up the full truth, nor did he know my father was now confined permanently to a wheelchair with no way to defend himself.

I shoved him away with all my remaining strength.

“Enzo! You bastard!”

He blinked slowly, traces of my blood staining his lower lip.

“I am nowhere near as terrible as your father ever was.” He wiped the blood off casually. “Didn’t Mia suffer far more pain than you ever have?”

I stared at him hard, my chest heaving rapidly as I struggled to find the right words to retort.

He leaned in closer and whispered in a low dangerous tone.

“You’re nothing but a whore, Jade. Act like one. Show me exactly what filthy favors you do for all those worthless scumbags.”

I exhaled slowly, forcing all emotion out of my expression until it turned cold and empty.

“You’re absolutely right, Alpha, but my shift is over for the night.”

With that said, I pushed open the car door and stepped out into the cold night air.

“You’re nothing more than a cheap public toy, Jade. Deep down you only crave cold hard cash, don’t you?”

He raked his eyes over my figure slowly, a mocking smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

You begged me to claim and mark you back then, and you’ll end up on your knees begging me all over again sooner or later.”

I clenched my fists tightly and walked away without looking back, the frigid night wind cutting sharply against my exposed skin.

“How much do you make every single month?” he called out toward my retreating back.

I never turned around. “Twenty thousand.”

His sharp icy laughter echoed through the quiet street.

“You truly are pathetic.”

The car engine roared to life, tires screeching once more before he drove off into the distance.

Hot silent tears streamed freely down my cheeks.
