“It’s starting,” Micah called over our gossip. Sure enough, Candace was strutting out to center stage. She started talking in that nasally voice that haunted my nightmares now. Even as dread and the pain of rejection filled me I couldn’t look away.
“Welcome back toMy Fairytale!This is the highly anticipated final episode. The one that we’ve all been waiting for. Our omegas have been anxiously waiting to see if they’ve found their pack.”
She finished speaking and swept a hand to the wall of screens behind her, a montage of all eight packs and their names flashing across it.
“We started with eight packs and dwindled it down to just four. Tonight we should end with just two!” She looked directly at the camera then with a knowing smirk on her face. Rage took over and I clenched my box so tightly the styrofoam cracked.
“Okay, taking this away from you now,” Tori said with a chuckle, putting it back on the table before I covered myself in food.
“But first, let’s see a bit of the behind the scenes to remind ourselves just where our omegas stand,” Candace continued.
The first clip Morgan was sitting on Trevor’s lap in the media room giggling at something he said before they turned to the camera. Of course, she had to start there.
“This all has been far too easy,” Morgan crooned. “They may have said there were two omegas but there’s really only one that matters here.”
Tori threw an onion ring at Micah’s TV, her voice outraged as she screamed at the screen. “What a dumb bitch!”
“We could track her down and send her one of those glitter bombs,” Serenity offered. They talked around me, conspiring, but my eyes were stuck on Trevor’s face.
“Oh, she bought it, hook, line, and sinker,” Trevor chuckled. Something was different about him here. He’d lost his usual charming smile and all I could see was over-inflated confidence. He ran a hand through his hair, fixing a strand on camera and I saw right through what I thought were nervous ticks. It was always a show. “How she thought an omega like her could make us happy is laughable. She could barely stand her own shadow.”
“Who wants an omega like that?” Morgan laughed. “You need someone like me.” She stood up and adjusted her breasts in the tight dress before doing a little spin. His eyes were locked onto her body, soaking it all in.
Every interaction I spent with that pack replayed in my head. Did the entire cast know that I was being played? Did they all talk and laugh about me behind my back? If I thought I was angry before it was nothing compared to now.
What kind of terrible person and petty pack does this kind of thing?
“Did you get the others on board?” she asked him with a slight pout to her voice. Morgan went as far as jutting her lip out slightly for emphasis. It was so easy to see how she manipulated him.
“Not all of us,” he said. Trever looked annoyed.
“Some of us omegas don’t need candlelight and long talks. That’s all a scam. What we really want is a big alpha,” she purred into his ear, her fingers dancing along the muscles pulling at his thin tee.
The cameraman made sure to get them making out for several long beats before it faded back to Candace.
“Well, it seems it was not as cut and dry as we all thought,” she said with fake shock that quickly turned into a chuckle.
She went on another spiel about the packs and how hard they were fighting to find their mate. The screens displayed the last four packs before doing a montage of everyone’s backgrounds, what the guys had to offer, then ending on what they wanted to find in their omega.
The final pack was the Forrest pack, a big image of Bear on display. My heart fractured and the anger drained at the sight of him. He was the one that hit me the hardest. We’d made what I thought was a real connection.
Did he lie?
Off-screen you could hear the producers asking, “What do you think of Morgan?”
Bear shifted in his chair and gave him an uncomfortable smile. “She’s alright. Morgan is a bit more forward than I’m used to but I respect the honesty. With her, you see what you get.”
“Does that mean that you’re leaning towards Ellie more?” they asked him.
Bear’s cheeks heated and I could see him fighting back a smile. How could he seem so genuine yet reject me so ruthlessly?
“She’s great. We have a lot in common and I’ve had a lot of fun going on the dates. We don’t exactly get to pick in the end, it’s up to them, right. We’ll just have to see.” He seemed almost hopeful. What the hell?
The camera shifted to Jacob and Trevor in the media room. Jacob was giving a cocky smile as he leaned back in his chair. From the lack of tan on Trevor’s skin I knew this was at the beginning of the show.
“Oh this has just been too easy. They practically throw themselves at us. It’s day two, yet we know that we’re already the top pack here. We have the most to offer, we just have to play the game,” Jacob laughed.
“We’ve got this in the bag,” Trevor said, giving his pack-mate a fist bump.
