Chapter 2
- Mia's p.o.v
- “Mia, stop slacking off already, do you want me to punish you?” Margret, our chief omega asked loudly.
- “No, I'm sorry ma'am,” I whispered then continued to scrub the floor of the pack house.
- It is not my intention to slack off or act lazy, it's just that my mind was unsettled as I thought about the upcoming ceremony, I seriously didn't want to go anywhere, and I hated the fact that every omega was required to dress up nicely and do her best to please the alphas.
- “Add more pressure to your hands,” she ordered me and walked out as I did.
- Some of my main fears were to either be rejected by my mate or to receive my first heat without finding him, most omegas in our pack were rejected because of their mate's fear of facing the alpha if he ended up choosing that same omega, and most omegas that went in heat before finding their mates were given to the high ups as means of reward and release.
- Everything was messed up and horrible, the omegas ended up becoming pregnant mostly, if the man who had impregnated them was kind enough, he allowed the omega to keep the pup, if he was heartless, he talked to the alpha's who would decide to either kick them out of the pack or forcefully make the omega abort.
- After the abortion or exile the omegas turned crazy and some traumatized, I didn't want it to happen to me, so it scared me.
- “Work, work and work, don't think much even though you rarely eat or sleep,” I murmured to myself Softly then tensed when I felt eyes staring at me.
- I groaned in annoyance then continued to scrub the floor, for the past two years I had been feeling like I was being watched from afar by more than one person, at first, it felt like it was one, then the feeling changed into two, I tried my best to inhale their scent, but I couldn't pick up anything, their scent was either perfectly masked or I was going insane because of thinking a lot, every time I turned or looked around I saw no one.
- I was finding it weird because I only had this kind of feeling when I wasn't around anyone, it was common for male betas, deltas, and warriors to lust for beautiful omegas and spy on them, but I wasn't beautiful, at least that's how I saw myself.
- I began to hum my favorite tune and continued to work, every omega knew her duty and what role they played, as for me, it was my job to clean the pack house every Morning, the high ups bedrooms were off-limit to me because an elderly omega who had already experienced her heat was the only one allowed there. After cleaning the pack house, I was supposed to help out with the washing or the surrounding, after that if I got lucky I ate, but if I got unlucky, I found nothing to eat.
- “Aren't you excited!” Megan's voice startled me.
- “Meg!” I yelled in anger.
- “Oops, sorry, did I startle you?” She asked teasingly.
- “Yes, you did,” I answered, then turned when I felt the eyes that were on me revert.
- “I'm sorry,” She said again.
- “It's fine, hey, when you walked in here didn't you have a feeling that someone was watching you?” I asked.
- She looked around then knelt beside me.
- “I did,” she whispered.
- “Really?” I asked.
- “Yes, and I know who it was,” she answered.
- I quickly stopped scrubbing and moved closer.
- “Who?” I asked.
- “My fear and conscious,” She answered.
- I angrily glared at her as she burst out in laughter.
- “Psycho,” I whispered mockingly.
- “You should get used to such a feeling, firstly this is a pack house full of dominant males, and secondly you are a beautiful Omega who easily attracts the males, thirdly you…”
- “Enough,” I said, seriously cutting off.
- “What?” She asked.
- “You've made your point,” I answered.
- “Mia when will you accept what you truly are, the day that you will embrace yourself as an omega that's the day you will come to love yourself and understand that you are blessed by the goddess to be born as you are,” she said then stood up.
- “I'm not like you, Meg, you already got your first heat, and you now feel free, you might not have met your mate yet but the man who took care of you is none other than Christopher,” I answered.
- Everyone in our pack knew who Christopher was, he was what we called the right hand of the twins, he was somehow alike to them yet again very different, he was good in hand-to-hand Combat, his wolf was also one of the biggest and strongest in the pack, when he was serious, he became scary. He killed and tortured everyone who was disrespectful to him, but when it came to women he was like another person, he was kind, friendly, and understanding, many women went to him, but he chose whom to spend the night with, he was mostly attracted to women who had low self-esteem and confidence, I didn't understand why, but he preferred those a lot.
- Meg was always segregating herself before her first heat, she rarely talked to me, and she usually cried when she got teased, she was sad and one time she tried to kill herself. When she got her first heat she was supposed to be given to one of the lead warriors, but Christopher stepped in and claimed her for the night since he had beta blood running through his veins no one dared to oppose him.
- The next day Meg came out like a different version of herself, she was happy and more confident than I could ever be, I didn't want to ask her what had happened during her heat, so I kept quiet and decided to let everything slide.
- “Well, what can I say, I got really lucky,” she answered.
- I stood up and laughed Softly.
- “You got lucky indeed,” I answered, then picked up the bucket of water and mop.
- I looked up and noticed Meg was bowing low. I laughed and threw the mop at her.
- “Quit playing you crazy girl,” I said loudly then turned and hit into a hard chest.
- My heart instantly picked up, I was so scared to even look up, the fact that Meg had bowed to show her respect and submission meant it was a high up.
- “Next time be careful and watch where you go, pretty Lady,” Christopher's voice came through.
- I quickly looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he smiled at me, he truly was kind and handsome.
- “I'm sorry, sir,” I answered with a smile.
- My smile instantly faded when I saw the twins coming downstairs.
- “See you later sir,” I quickly said then rushed outside with Meg behind me.
- “See you later sir, who says that to a high up?” She asked loudly.
- “I got scared of the twins and panicked,” I answered honestly.
- “Why? they wouldn't do a thing to you unless you do something bad, anyway did you see how they looked like?” She asked.
- “No, it's our rule to never look any high up in the eyes, but I broke it today when I looked at Christopher, luckily I just glanced at the twins without looking at them carefully, I just hope I won't get into trouble,” I answered honestly.
- “Me too." Meg said then walked by my side to our rooms.
