DAWN'S POV CONTINUES.
I looked around trying to figure out everything that happened and how I had gotten here but turned up completely blank.
I sat up and the first thing I realized was that my belongings were untidily scattered across the room and immediately got out of bed, wondering why.
Just then, the door swung open, and in came the she-devil, Scarlett with an evil grin on her face.
" She's awake" She called out, briskly approaching me, and due to the immense dread that she had instilled in me, I immediately began to back away.
At the mere sight of her, I had already begun to hyperventilate and perspire profusely, despite the active air conditioner in the room.
Just when I thought I was about to get another round of beating, the door swung open again and Devon sauntered in.
I breathed a sigh of relief unknowingly, feeling unexplainably relieved to see him.
Scarlet noticing my mannerisms of relief, narrowed her gaze at me before turning around.
Instantly, she recoiled in profuse shock on seeing Devon standing there, his hands tucked into his pockets.
The mere view of his stance and carriage alone made me feel mixed feelings within.
I straightened up, unable to take my eyes off him as my cheeks flushed red, to my surprise.
I felt a fluttering sensation in my chest and my breaths seemed shortened.
He looked so damn hot in the tight t-shirt he wore which clung to his body, showing off his well-sculpted figure and chiseled abdomen.
His short black hair seemed straightened out, with a falling bang that covered the right of his grey orbs.
I unintentionally licked my lower lips and it seemed he caught that gesture as his deep glare on Scarlett shifted to me, but when they did, his eyes seemed to soften. His gaze remained on me as a smirk tugged at his lips.
My chest started to throb and I began to run out of breath just by gazing at him. He was, in the literal sense, breathtaking.
His stare on me felt so deep that I couldn't gaze back into his eyes any longer and brought it down to my feet, my hands fidgeting as I took a falling bound of my hair, and tucked it behind my ear.
I began shifting my weight from one foot to another, nibbling at my bottom lip.
I was feeling so heated and needy, as the intensity of his piercing glare made me feel naked and vulnerable.
I shivered at my thoughts, feeling appalled and frightened by the fact that I was capable of even harboring such ideas.
" Tch," A scoff from Scarlett brought me back to reality.
" Get out," Devon ordered almost angrily, and by merely hearing his voice Scarlett began to tremble, and without waiting a moment, hurriedly dashed out, leaving just me and him in the room.
At first, I was relieved, until I remembered I was in the room with one of the triple Terrors, Devon; the playboy for that matter who relentlessly chased anything in a skirt for sport, according to Lisa.
There was silence for a few minutes and all that transpired within those minutes was Devon gazing into me, seemingly studying every inch of my body.
His eyes were burning and smoldering with desire. They suddenly drifted to my lips and momentarily remained fixed on them before flicking up to mine, a satisfied smile creeping up his face.
Instead of feeling repelled, I felt my heart racing and my body riling with unbridled energy, like a jolt of electricity was surging through my being. My eyes locked with his once again and I felt a shiver of anticipation run down my spine.
Suddenly, the air around us seemed to change with a vibe that I couldn't quite put my fingers on.
The tension began to build up as he suddenly started to make his way towards me.
I stood still, not moving till he was dangerously close to me and our faces were mere inches apart. I could literally feel his prickly breath brushing against my face.
I started to breathe heavily, suddenly feeling hot. I wanted to run, but my body did otherwise and remained rooted to a spot. Just as he was about to inch even closer, the door flew open, and in came his brothers.
We were both quite distracted, but he seemed even more aloof than I was and I took that moment to get a grip of myself and swiftly move away from him.
I noticed the calm-looking guy gritting his teeth and clenching his fists as he stormed towards Devon, the third brother trailing after him with an amused expression.
" What was that?" The calm-looking guy questioned, in a low threatening voice.
He towered over Devon, making him look small but Devon didn't back down and straightened up, contesting back at him. They were roughly the same height.
" Okay, you guys should stop this " the third brother whose name I had no idea of said, warning laced in his tone.
Both brothers paid him no attention and continued glaring at each other maliciously before the calm-looking guy turned away, breaking the contest, and stormed off with a scoff.
Towards me I mean!
I gulped hard, swallowing my saliva as he stormed towards me but instead of getting close, he stopped a distance away from me and I felt surprisingly disappointed.
" Your roommates complained they didn't want you so you were moved here to one of the personal, smaller dorms for outcasts," The calm-looking guy explained, finally giving me the answer to the question that had been on my mind this entire while.
Despite being used to the rejection, it still hurts me, to hear his words and be reminded how everyone in the school viewed me. My mouth trembled and tears welled in my eyes.
'Was it a crime to be an Omega? Was it my fault I was born as one?' I questioned myself within, feeling the urge to just ignore everything and everyone and break down into a weeping mess but I couldn't.
I still had a little bit of self-respect, and far greater fear for the figures I stood before.
" Also you fainted while doing your punishment which was why you found yourself locked in that crappy cell" He further explained and I nodded, my eyes fixed on the ground.
" But then in the cell, it seems a phobia of yours became active and you had to be brought out of the cell, meaning you still have that punishment to fulfill," He dropped the bomb and I immediately raised my gaze to him, my eyes widening in shock and devastation.
' What?! Wasn't all I had gone through enough punishment?' I wondered, staring at the calm-looking fellow in disbelief, unable to believe someone as gentle-looking as him could be so relentlessly cruel.
