My existence
"Knock, Knock, wake up Faye, time to go to school" my mom yelled from the other side of the door. I slowly woke up and looked at the time. It's 7:45am. It only takes me 20 minutes to get ready. I don't like to wear fancy clothes. I prefer comfy clothes and a bare face and a little mascara. I cannot understand why girls have such thick make-up and it can be uncomfortable. But no one really pays attention to me. If they do, I’m usually bullied by everyone because of the fact I’m an omega. Yes, the lowest rank in the pact. No one rarely wants to interact with me, even my family. I’m just waiting until I turn 18 and I know they can’t wait to kick me out of the house and wash their hands. A daily reminder of their embarrassment is an omega daughter.
As I walked to school, analyzing my life and planing for my future. I heard my name being called l. I turned around and saw my best friend Nayla heading towards me.
"Hi Faye" she excitedly greeted me.
"Hey, ready for graduation?" I asked her.
"Yes! I can’t wait! But besides that we have the coming of age the next day after graduation, that’s what I’m more excited about” she replied.
"Do you think you're gonna meet your mate?" I asked her.
"Hoping that I will, but never know. How do you feel about all this? Maybe you'll find your mate."She comforts me.
"Maybe......." I weakly replied to her.
" Did you hear the alpha son and friends are coming too! It's been years since he came back!” she excitedly announced.
"Really....this is gonna be something for sure." I muttered to myself.
As we continued to walk and talk, we caught up on our weekend events. I mentioned to her how I had been busy helping with the upcoming gathering that was going to take place this time in our pack hall. Since mid-rank or lower rank is usually the labour job in the pack. I have done cleaning, laundry, serving name it. I have done it all!
We reached our school and walked towards our lockers and grabbed our books and headed to first morning class. I was curious that none had harassed me today. Then I remember the coming of age party that's happening this weekend. Also, rumors of the prodogie Chase alpha son is coming home. Everyone seemed to be in high spirits and had totally forgotten about me.
As the end of school approached, waiting for the bell to ring in one minute felt like eternity.
"Ding, Dong", the school bell rang.
I quickly got up from my seat and left my last class. I hurried, walked toward my locker, grabbed my backpack and homework. Getting the h**l out is always my first priority and you can never know it is an ambush waiting for me somewhere.
I quickly walked towards the exit doors. A trap was waiting for me and I noticed a second too late before a cold bucket splashed me, causing my shirt and leggings to get wet.
"F**k" I grind my teeth and calm myself.
I let my guard down and got comfortable with everyone busy talking about the upcoming events. I simply hope I'll forgotten this week. False hope sure sucks when it comes to bite you. Thank god I wore black today. It wasn't noticeable, but it was cold and caused me to shiver.
I barely make any noise. They always want some reactions from me to make a fuss, cry or get something out of me. Whether I had any reaction or not, it just got worse and worse. I learned throughout the years that no one was willing to help me.
I have learned to cope over the years. I have been punched, kicked, slapped, pushed, shoved. That is just the physical thing I have experienced. I got paint,poop, pee spilled on me and my hair was accidentally cut. I have probably experienced it all. After, I calmed myself down as I quickly walked home.
"I"m home", I announced as I entered the house, walked toward my room and quietly closed my door.
I learned when I was 8 years old my parents did not give two f***s about me. I still clearly remember coming home crying. I had cuts, bruised arms and legs. I told them what had happened and the reply I got was.
"Everyone will treat you like a punching bag, you will call you names and I, as your mother, cannot do anything to protect or help you. This is the way shifters live. You're an omega and the lowest rank in the pack." My mother told me with a rigid expression.
I was shocked by the reply my mother gave me. Speechless and confused about her lack of motherly affections, she was different from my brother. I always crave the closeness I saw from other kids at school and even how she treats my brother dearly.
I shake my head trying to get rid of the earth-shattering memories that changed who I thought I was to my family and the pack. I quickly changed out of my wet clothes and switched to another and looked at the time.
"S**t! F**k" I cursed and knew I was running late.
I headed out and ran hard like a never run before heading towards the alpha house. Not wanting any punishment made my legs move faster.
"I.....ahh.....here......" Gasping for air.
I walked through the back door and headed to the head maid to ask what my duty was today.
"Today you need to change all the bedding and laundry. Guests arrive tomorrow!"the headmaid said.
She directed me along to get moving. I grabbed all the freshly washed bedding and headed to the first room and got to work. I swiftly removed the bedding, replaced it with the newly washed bedding and realized I had 10 rooms to do. I somehow successfully completed my task in 3 hours. I walked toward where I heard the headmaid was.
"Ms. Camerron, I have finished my task for today", swiftly reported to her
" OK, starting tomorrow, you will report from the pack hall. Understood?" She stated
"Yes, mama" I firmly replied.
As I left, the Alpha Castle and I hurried home. I was hungry and didn't get a chance for a quick bite before heading to work. I reached home, headed to the kitchen and grabbed whatever food was available today. It was spaghette and some bread and I had to head to my room. I ate my dinner while working and finishing my homework. I got up and got ready for bed.
As I lay on my bed, I looked out of my window and prayed to the moon goddess if she was going to assign me a mate. I hope he'll be able to love me for who I am and accept me for being an omega. Restless sleep finally took over.
The next day came too quickly for my liking. It felt like something big was coming and I wasn't able to put my finger on it.I shook it off and got ready or I was going to be late for school.
I left for school. On the way, Nayla met up with me and walked to school together.
"Faye, Chase is coming home today!!" She excitedly exclaimed.
"Oh, yes, heard he was coming with a few of his friends from the training school." I replied to her.
"What?!?!? Do you know who he's coming with? Which pack are they from? rank? Do we know them? " She grilled me with questions.
"I am not sure I heard the other made taking about it" I defensively reply to her.
"Ahhh...... I need more information than you have given me!" she replied disappointedly.
"You know no one talks to me even if I want to ask. They all ignore me like I do not exist", I pointedly out.
"Right... I totally forgot about that" she meekly replied.
As we continue to walk to school. Nayla had changed the topic of at least wanting to meet Chase and his friends. Expressing her excitement would it be if Chase or one of his friends were her mate. I agreed with her but expressed my sadness if she ended up being paired with someone outside of the pack.
"How would you know he's the one?" I suddenly asked her.
"I have been told their smell would be delightful and you would be unable to resist. Like finding you're missing the pieces of the puzzle, cherish you like no other, love you like no other. You'll wolf will be unable to resist and unable to live without the other. A pair who is one ", she excitedly replied.
I silently prayed to be able to have something like what she had described. I looked at her excitedly and hopefully of finding my mate. It has been a long time since I had been excited about anything.
"Are you excited about our coming of age ceremony?" I asked her.
" Yes, I am who isn't!!! I will be a young adult. I won't need to go to school to learn and get my ass handed by the beta on training days. I'm always sore after those mother f****r com send train us. Lucky you did not have to do the training." She complained
She had forgotten again why I was not except from all the training. I wasn't privileged and my rank doesn't allow me to get any benefits in the pack. Even a mid- range wolf had some sort of training. What made it worse, mostly everyone has met their wolf except me. I became more of an outcast in the pack because it had never happened before. I'm almost 18 years old and still no sign of shifting. But I can feel her, I know she's there watching me and waiting patiently. I sighed disappointedly at how unfair my wolf was being.
"Faye, did you hear me?" Nayla, curiously asked me.
"I'm..... sorry..... I did't hear you", I blushfully replied, embarrassed. I was caught off guard when my train of thought took over.
"I said I need help with my studies because I'm failing my subject!"She repeatedly asked desperately.
" You know my marks are average. I'll try to help you, but I'm not sure I'll be such a help to you", I hesitated and replied.
I have learned that it's better to hide my abilities from anyone, even from Nayla. The less someone knew about me, the better. Prejudgment has been something I had since everyone knew I was an omega.I tried at one point to change everyone how they viewed me, but failed and I gave up. It was pointless.
I reluctantly agreed to meet her during lunch time at the library and afterschool was never a good time because of her job as an omega.I appreciate her and love her like a sister. She helped on a couple of occasions and everyone avoided me.She's beautiful, outgoing, sweet and popular among everyone. She's the only one who became my friend. Despise being a low-rank wolf, seemed never to bother her.
