THE ALPHA KING'S OMEGA

Chapter two

It's been two and a half weeks and my life has pretty much been peaceful, well as peaceful as it could get. I had just a week left till my birthday and life at the pack house was pretty bustling as they prepared for Renee's birthday. Oh and did I mention she shares the same birthday with me? Like how cheesy is it that my lifetime terror shares the same birthday with me. Also two weeks ago Jack found his mate, who happened to be the alpha's daughter of another pack, and of course he left with her, leaving Renee crying so hysterically that she'd have filled buckets with her tears if they let her. I mean I wouldn't really blame her. When jack didn't find his mate two years ago, when he turned eighteen everyone assumed they were mates but now just weeks before her birthday he finds his mate what a sick plot twist. And Jack he was just a heartless asshole, not that Renee was any better, but they'd been together for years, yet he dumped her in the worse way possible, publicly. It wasn't a common thing for werewolves to reject their mates for a chosen mate, it had happened before. However, the typical ambitious asshole dumped her for his own selfish reasons, sure both Renee and his mate were alpha daughters, but with his mate he had more chances of becoming alpha, because she was an only child and Renee?... Well let's just say she had a very lean chance of becoming alpha with Ryder, her asshole of an elder brother being there.

Ryder was what I'd call a douchebag. He didn't care about anything or anyone other than himself. He was a selfish and narcissistic motherf*cker, he did nothing but flirt with girls all day when he wasn't face kissing himself in the mirror, he'd tried to flirt with me on multiple occasions, he'd even told me if I'd agreed to be his, he'd stop his sister from bullying me, and I'd get to hang with him... he claimed it was the opportunity of a lifetime, and all the other girls would be swooning if they'd gotten such an opportunity, but I just rolled my eyes inwardly and ignored him, I could hear Alayna in my head telling him to go shove it up his ass or better still at some of the slutty wolves he flirted with.. haha... I didn't let her say that out though.

Anyway Renee cried for a week and that was probably my best week since I turned when I was thirteen. But then a week ago a message came from the alpha king's pack, the Royal Moon Pack, inviting and I quote:

" the alpha family and their daughter Renee who is to come of age during the auspicious period of the king's ball, she may bring along just one fellow maiden with whom she may attend the ball with in two weeks time"

And guess what? She picked me, like, I wished I could just strangle her, ugh! Everyone knows bringing a maiden is the same thing as bringing a maid, those royals always attend parties with at least one maid or attendant, so they wanted to make sure that even if there's a chance she could be the king's mate, she wouldn't be embarrassed. It was a full-proof plan, and of course other foolish she wolves would clamour at an opportunity to attend a palace ball, more chances of finding their mates, even if it means being Renee's maid but still she picked me, why? To torment me, see this balls were just a political meeting. If by any chance Renee actually turns out to be the king's mate or the mate of some higher Alpha, her maiden is married with her, she is part of the dowry and has to follow to serve her mistress in another pack. That would be a terrible outcome for me regardless of whether I'd find my mate or not, being a maiden to Renee was definitely not in my future plan, I saw myself finding a cute mate and living my life in a cute little cottage watching the sunrise and sunset everyday. Alayna and I didn't know what we would do if she actually got chosen, worse came to worse, we'd run away, better becoming a rogue than sticking it up with someone like Renee forever, but for now we could only suck it up, and steel our resolve for the ball, hoping that she didn't meet her mate during the ball.

Over the next few days everything went smoothly, in fact, it went pretty well, they stopped hitting me, claiming they didn't want others to think they maltreated me at the Silverstone pack, as if that wasn't what they'd been doing to me my whole damn life, and to that I just rolled my eyes (inwardly of course). They were just a big bunch of hypocrites and phonies, not think they'd maltreated me? Well then they should never have, simple.

Anyway, the pack was really busy, we were barely a few days away from the ball. They even spared me a few nice dresses, barely manageable by the standards of luxury that those royals were accustomed to, so it wouldn't make me stand out more than Renee — who had gotten a dress that cost almost a fortune — but still it was a far cry from my rags and the tatters which I usually wore. Still the dress was pretty, it was a combination of yellow and emerald green, it was like it was made for me, it was the perfect combination with my long blonde hair and light emerald eyes. The dress was kept in an abandoned corner in the store when we'd gone to pick out dresses. Apparently, this store was only open when such big occasions happened, and this one was usually considered too simple to stand out hence it was always left behind... She even gave it at a discount glad someone had finally taken a liking to it. Renee sneered and mocked my choice but didn't pay me any attention anymore as she wandered around the store, until she came across a fiery red and gold gown. The storekeeper explained that although the dress was pretty, many people didn't want such dresses as this was as the nearby packs were of relatively poor ranking amongst the packs so they didn't take such dresses, afraid they'd steal the spotlight and incur the wrath of the higher ranking nobles. But that still didn't deter Renee. Hearing all the whole storekeeper said she was even more determined to have it to satisfy her vanity, she believed she would be the King's Mate and so she had to stand out, I nodded obediently at whatever she said while Alayna just rolled my eyes inwardly, fat chance, that would happen, the moon goddess would have to be goddamn blind to make someone as vain as her queen.?
