OMEGA MATE

chapter- 3

Jayden's POV

When I arrived home I saw Eleina cooking for their dinner later, since I'm not allowed to eat with them cause they are of Beta status and me of Omega. Not that I'd want to join them, would you want to eat with a brother that beats you up and with parents that clearly doesn't want you?? I don't think so.

"Omega." I saw her looking at me for a second before continuing. "Where's Sebastian??"

"I don't know maam. Maybe he's with the future Alpha Mason." I answered bowing my head. "Okey. You may go, and clean yourself up." She turned around going back to cooking. "Yes maam."

I went up to my room and took a quick shower. My healing wasn't as quick as other wolves since I'm an omega so I applied some ice on my face to atleast ease the pain.

I heard the frontdoor close so either Jonathan was home or Sebastian.

"Omega!! Dad's looking for you!!"

Well that answers that question, I guess they're both home. I got up from my bed and headed to the kitchen where they were having dinner. "Yes Beta sir??" I bowed.

"Tomorrow your going to help prepare for Maddisson's birthday party. From decorating in the packhouse to helping Eleina here bake the birthday cake. After all of that is done, you are to help serve the pack during the party. Understood??" He said without sparing me a glance.

"Actually sir, I-I was wondering if i-it would be o-okey if I would b-be excused from serving at the party." They all looked at me with questioning gazes.

"And why would you be excused Omega??" Should I tell him?? Should I tell him that I wanted to look for my mate??

"Yes, you should tell him!! We have ever right to look for mate." Ros growled

"Well I-I j-just....wanted t-to..."

"Wanted to what??" He cut me off. And one look at him made me change my mind.

"Nothing s-sir. Nevermind, I will help serve in the party." I said quietly before going back to my room

"WHAT?!? No we are NOT!! We have to look for mate!!!" Ros snarled. "We have to respect what the Beta wants us to do."

"TO HELL WITH THAT!! WE ARE LOOKING FOR MATE!!!"

"Ros we are doing this and that's final!!" He growled before blocking me out.

I always hated fighting with him, cause afterwards I'd get a huge headache. So, I skipped dinner and just went off to sleep.

NEXT MORNING

Waking up, I looked at my phone to see that it was 5am. What time was I suppose to help for the party?? I don't remember the Beta saying that detail.

My stomach started growling, I guess it was a bad idea sleeping on an empty stomach. So after looking in the mirror to see that the bruises were gone, I headed for the kitchen quietly and took out some cereal. After eating I decided to go to my special place since I guessed that preparation would maybe start at about 7, it was 5:23 so I had time.

Walking out of the house I headed for the familiar hidden path that I walked through so many times over the years.

And before long I heard the relaxing crash of water over the horizon.

Sitting on a large stone, I closed my eyes. Listening to the birds chirping. To the crickets with their soft melody. To the scent of the forest. It made me forget of my problems, even for just a limited time.

It was already 6:30am when I got back to the house. I went in the kitchen and saw Eleina preparing the things she needed to bake.

"Your going to help me bake first before going to the pack house." Nodding my head, we started baking. Throughout the process, she would only talk to me to give me.instructions on what to do.

We were actually baking two cakes, one very large red velvet cake and a mini chocolate cake, that's my favorite flavor, chocolate.

I don't know how long it took but finally we finished. We did a pretty good job if I do say so myself. I remembered when I would always help her bake when I was a kid. Cookies, cakes, you name it. Thinking of those times made a smile on appear on my face.

Eleina picked up the mini chocolate cake and turned to me. "Here." Taking the cake, I looked at her.

"Am I bringing the cakes to the packhouse right now maam?? Or should I come back for them later??" I asked her as she was washing her hands.

"You can bring the red velvet cake right now if you want, but the chocolate cake isn't for the party." She said looking at me. "It's for you."

My eyes widened at what she said. "F-for m-me??" I stuttered. She looked at me for a second before opening a drawer and taking out a lighter and one birthday candle.

Walking towards me, she placed the candle on the cake before lighting it. "You think I forgot about your birthday??" Again my eyes widened. She remembers?? But why now after so many years??

As if reading my mind she sighed. "Don't look at me like that Omega. I only did this to thank you for helping me out today. Now, blow your candle and go clean yourself out. Most of the pack members will be at the party as with the neighboring packs. There's still a possibility that you could meet your mate later on."

With that said, I felt a single tear flow down my cheek. "Thank you maam. Thank you very much." I wiped the tear and smiled a genuine smile, I blower the candle and brought my cake to my room.

"Ros. You hear what she said?? I didn't know that other pack were invited to the party. "I could almost feel him bouncing around in my mind.

"I know, there's a real possibility that we could meet mate later!!" He happily yipped. "So we better make a good impression bud" I said as I got ready.

After taking a shower and putting on the clothes that I picked, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought 'That's good enough'

I walked downstairs to find the house empty. 'Hmm, she must of gone to the packhouse to help out.' I thought.

Bringing the cake fore the party, I walked out of the house headed for the packhouse. On the way there, I thought of what my mate would be like. Honestly, I didn't care cause I would accept her no matter what.

Minutes later a saw the familiar building ahead. It was 1 in the afternoon so most

of the things needed for the party would have been set up already.

I walked in and saw everything set up. The food, the tables, the chairs, I didn't get to help out at all. Man, I hope the Beta doesn't find out cause if so I'm so dead.

Putting the cake on the table, I asked the others setting up if they needed help. So for two hours I actually did help out. 3pm and the party finally started.

I started serving others drinks, while making sure to keep my nose up for my mate's scent.

Wolves from neighboring packs started to show up, Jason Williams the future alpha of the Moonstone pack walked in to be greeted my Mason and his father.

"Hey Jase, glad you could make it." Mason greeted. "I wouldn't miss this party for the world" with that they headed for the kitchen, probably for a drink.

Alpha Timothy walked up the made up stage and everyone quieted down.

"To the beloved members of the Silver Moon pack, to our allies and to our neighboring packs I would like to welcome you all to my daughter's 16th birthday. Its a special day today, cause its also the day that she will be able to find her mate." They all cheered.

"So without further adue, lets welcome the birthday girl herself!!!" They all clapped their hands as Maddison walked up the stage.

Instantly, I smelled the most amazing scent. Strawberries, the scent of strawberries hits me. "MATE!!! SHE CLOSE BY!!" Ros yelled excitedly. "Follow her scent Jay!!"

So I did. I followed the scent. Walking through the crowd, ignoring their glares and not looking at where I was headed cause that particular scent drowned out my other sense.

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my chest, snapping me out of the trance that I was in. "What are you doing here Omega?!?" I looked up and saw my dad.

"I-I'm sorry sir. I was j-just following a scent" I bowed.

"What is happening here Beta?!?" I looked up the stage to see Alpha Timothy glaring at me with the Luna behind him looking confused.

"Daddy is everything okey??" Looking up to who said that my eyes widened. The eyes. Those captivating gray eyes that I would never ever forget.

Maddison.

But that's not what shocked me, no. What shocked me was what we both said when we looked at each other. One word that would forever change my life, and I don't know if it's for the better or for the worse.

"Mate"
