Omega Second Chance

Rosa's POV " Rosa, get back to work." I could hear my boss yelling as he passed me. Snapping me back to reality. I swear my breaks get shorter with each passing day, but I need this job, so I don't complain. Friday night is always our busiest . It's the night the local drunks come in to drink the night away, and cop a feel every time one of us girls walks by. I just smile and pretend to enjoy it because at the end of the night they leave good tips. I just keep telling myself that one day, this nightmare will end. I needed some fresh air, so I stepped outside for a minute. I was trying to get my emotion in tack and not feeling the pressure of being just an omega now. I once was the prominent daughter of the packs Alpha, but that ended with my father's so-called betrayal. I was heading to the restroom to freshen up when my phone rang.My insides twisted. I knew that number. It was the hospital. "Hello." My voice shaky with fear. I could hear the woman on the other end calling my name. Finally, I answered. "Yes, this is Rosa." "This is Memorial Hospital. You need to make a payment, or your mom's treatment will be suspended. Your bill is way over twenty thousand dollars. We need bigger payments to keep her treatments going. " "Please, I just need a little more time. I promise I will have the payment soon. Please.She is all I have left. " I begged. "We can't give you much more time. You have til Wednesday to make the payment, or she will be taken off of life support." Her words cut like a knife as she hung up the phone. My head was spinning, and my heart was pounding. How? I kept asking myself. My nerves took over, causing me to vomit. just what I needed to smell like vomit while serving the creeps. Washing up and fixing my uniform, I gather myself up. Smile, the night is almost over. "Rosa, come on. The guys are asking for you.This is your big tip night. So get with it." He yells through the bathroom door. "I will be right there."Taking in a few deep breaths, I head out to serve the local drunks.I see the brothers have arrived. They aren't like the others. After a few drinks, then they leave. The trick with them is keeping their glasses filled until they place the card over top, saying they have had enough. Keep their glasses full, have a small conversation, and smile will get you a big tip. "Pizzas up." I told table ten as I served them. Filling their drinks, I didn't notice who came in and sat at the bar. Walking back to the kitchen with the empty server tray, I noticed who it was. Anger fill my insides. Why is he here? I thought to myself . "Why are you here?" I asked, trying to keep my voice down. "I just stopped in to see how you are." He responded. "Don't act like you care. You're the traitor. You ! acussing my father of being a traitor. You did this to me.Don't pretend to be the caring uncle now. It took you five years to stop in and see how I was doing. Get out. I hate you! Don't come back!" I was now screaming at him. "Fine, I will leave, but don't come crawling to me when you can't keep your mother alive any longer." He slammed his glass down. Turning around to leave, he stops for a moment. "Sorry.' was all he said as he went out the door. I could feel everyone looking at me. I just wanted to hide. I could hear the bell ring on the door telling me new customers have entered the private booth area. If I had known who it was, I would have never entered that booth. I picked up my serving tray and filled some glasses with our complementary drinks and nuts. Pushing open the booth doors, I suddenly stopped. No, this can't be. Why now? "Oh, look who it is." She said as I walked in. "My my, if it isn't the once prominent Alphas daughter." she smirked. "She's no fancy alphas daughter. She's just the daughter of the traitor who doomed us.She's just an omega now. Nothing more." He said with hatred in his voice. Everyone sneered at me. They mocked me. Even my once best friend. The one I thought would stand by me no matter what happened. But Jasmine mocked me just like the others did. I was stripped of my status. They believed the lies about my father thinking he betrayed his pack. I not only lost my father, but I lost my pride. My dignity and my dreams. I kept smiling, taking down their orders even though my insides were twisted with emotions and pain.. Their sneers and mockery made my blood boil. Don't ! You need this job! You need the money for your mom's care. That was the only reason I kept my mouth shut. Jasmine spoke up. her words cut like a knife in my back. "We would have come here sooner if we knew you were the server. By the way, how's your mom doing on life support. I understand it is taking everything you have to keep her alive. You could have asked for help. Well, not that we would have." She laughed. I tried so hard to hold back my anger. But their comments soon turned to rudeness. They were all staring at my uniform. "Will you look at that skirt. Look how short it is. I bet that helps you get more tips. Showing a little more than you should. or do you make more tips by sleeping with all the men that come in here? " They all laughed. My insides ached with anger. I felt humiliated and belittled. I tried to leave. But no, they just wouldn't let me go. I was once the girl all the guys chased after. Not only was I the alphas daughter, but the gods truly blessed me. I had long flowing blond hair with shy blue eyes and a great completion. My body was perfect, and I showed it off with beautiful tailored clothes. Now I stand in a server's uniform short shirt and tight fitting to show my curves. My blond hair is twisted in a bundle, and my blue eyes are dinggy from not enough sleep.Still my God given beauty showed and my uniform fit better then the fancy thousand dollar tailor made dress she was wearing. My heart pounded with hurt that these once so-called friends now see me as a traitors daughter. A nothing omega. Feeling ashamed, I couldn't show it. So I made myself smile and tried to be as polite as I could be. Once again, I started to leave, but their words just kept on coming. "Come on. Stay awhile. Some one special is coming to join us. You might remember him. At least you should. You once seduced him and then rejected him when you found out he was your mate. "Her laughter filled my ears. "Shame on you turning your mate down."She laughed as she shouted out."But then again look what her father did. It must run in their blood to betray their fellow pack members." Now, the whole room was laughing. Still, I kept my anger under control. my heart pounded, and my fists were formed, but I still contained my anger. Everyone's laughter filled the air as she stood up and just wouldn't stop . "Yes, you remember him. your rejected mate. Today, he becomes our Alpha. His ceremony is this evening. Thank the moon goddess Dusty and his father saved us after your traitor father almost doomed us.You remember that day when we were attacked. The day Dustys father died trying to save your father. The day you rejected him just before the attack. Come on, you must remember that day. " She voiced loudly. I couldn't hold it in any longer. My anger hit hard as I walked up to her. I so wanted to punch her, but I knew I would lose my job. So I never spoke a word as I walked closer and threw a glass of water in her face. "My father was no traitor, and I am sick and tired of your bull crap. I have taken it for five years. Well, no more. I refuse to run anymore."I stood my ground. She lunged at me. I didn't even blink. Calmly, I just walked away. Inside, I stood alone and felt the ache of loss for the first time. "Oh ya, by the way, who I reject or sleep with is none of your business. I am a big girl now, my own boss." I threw back at her as I turned my back to her. Jasmine sat down without saying a word. I guess she never expected me to stand up for myself. Even though I was filled with hurt from their harsh word, I must say that throwing that water in her face sure made me feel good. I heard the booth door open. I never looked up to see his face, but I could see it was a tall, striking man.The smell of his cologne filled my nose.I could see them all smiling. This can't be real. Why is this happening now? I haven't seen him in five years. Dont panic, I told myself. It might be someone else. Keep it together. I kept repeating in my mind. Until I saw it. The mark. The mark I left on him. Flashing back in my mind, I remember the day like it was yesterday. My heart stopped as I stared at his hand. I knew that scar. I knew that hand. I didn't look up. Slowly, I turned and left the booth. I knew that scar because I was the one who put it there.
