Jonah’s P.o.v.
Hi, my name is Jonah Teal. My ideal color is any shade of blue and I like Chicken and Potatoes. I am a hybrid mix of a wolf and a fox. So I have three forms or at least three that I know of. They all have one spirit that connects them to me, I think. Even though my animal spirit has told me about my other two forms, I've only seen my first form. My first form is a little almost black, but still an orange-colored fox. I’ve talked to him a couple of times. Although I've found out very little about him, I did make sure to get Hayes’s name. Hard to believe right?, but You know the saying “ there are no mythical or fantasy creatures such as vampires or werewolves, etc.” Well, they were WRONG!
I was also stunned the day my mom told me that she was a fox while dad was a wolf. I was confused by what they had meant at first until we went outside into the backyard, where they both turned into their creature forms. My dad’s wolf was a common size for a wolf. It was a dark grey color with plain brown eyes. My mom’s fox, on the other hand, wasn’t that big, but it was a gorgeous dark brownish-black and orange color. She had dark green-ish teal, crystal-like colored eyes. I could see where I got my light blue-ish teal eye color from, but now back to the story.
It’s six o’clock in the morning, I am currently getting dressed for school, since I’m turning eighteen next year, so my parents thought it would be good to transfer me now. That way I wouldn’t be so timid about going to a school filled with theoretical individuals like myself when I turned of age to find my mate. Today is August 18th, 2007, the first day of werewolf schooling. Trying to discard the bad thoughts that came to my head, I turned to my closet and began to look for clothes. It took a little over ten minutes of surveying the inadequate number of clothes that I owned, but I succeeded in creating a good outfit to wear for my first day. I hastily got dressed after a twenty-minute shower. I decided to wear a dark navy blue t-shirt under a charcoal black flannel with some black pants and a pair of low black converse. The flannel was buttoned up just enough to where you could still see the top of the navy blue t-shirt underneath. After taking a couple of double-takes in the mirror, I put on my black beanie and walked downstairs to greet my mom with a big hug. Don’t judge me! I am proud to be a momma’s boy!
“ Hey sweetie, how was your night?” My mom approached me with a grin after she set a plate down in front of dad, who was too focused on reading the weekly newspaper.
“ It was good. It definitely relieved some stress. Though starting all over at this new school is quite draining,” I said as she set a plate of food down in front of me.
“ That's good, now hurry up and eat. You have forty-five minutes till it’s time for you to leave, and I better not get a call about you skipping. Do you hear me?” She said pointing an accusing finger in my direction.
“ Yes, ma'am!” I said, saluting her and then started to dig into my mom’s amazing breakfast. She made homemade orange juice, pulp, and everything, along with two pieces of toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, and grits for breakfast.
After I finished the delicious meal, I got up to put my stuff on and hugged my mother goodbye. Also saying a quick goodbye to my dad, who just continued to read his newspaper. He never really paid as much attention to me as my mom did. Usually, a kid would be sad about this, but it’s been like this since he found out that I was an omega. I eventually got over it, seeing as there was no way to please him. I continued to walk the three miles to my new school, slightly anxious to get it over with. The only thing I hated, was that we still lived pretty far away from the school.
After a good twenty-five thirty-five minute walk, I made it to school grounds. It would seem like a short walk for others, but it was too long for my taste. Walking up to the school and through the big double doors, I was hit with a wave of smells. All eyes were on me. The whole hallway was quiet, while people looked at me like I was crazy. I kept my head down and quietly made my way down the long hallway. I took a right but was met with a girl who looked like the stereotypical person to sleep around with all the popular boys, just to be popular. She sneered at me and shoved me to the ground.
“ Stay down peasant!” She said and walked away with her “friends.”
I stood, dusting myself off and picking up the black beanie that I loved to death. “That was a good first impression,” I thought to myself as I continued to walk toward the office, hearing snickers of students who saw what happened. A couple of people sarcastically asked me if I was ok in a “worried” voice. I knew they didn’t mean it though. I entered the office apprehensively looking around, seeing the assistant principal leaning across the desk counter pushing out her breast in the student's face.
You could tell that she only signed up for the job, so she could w***e around with the students. It’s really sad how some people just throw themselves at others. Yeah... anyway, back to the student. He was too busy watching something behind me. So I moved up to the secretary and asked about my agenda. I didn’t notice that I started to tap my foot out of nervousness. I mean, I didn’t want to be here in the first place. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw the women scowling at me. I wondered why.
I looked around, realizing the boy was staring at me. I grabbed my schedule and quickly left the office heading towards the direction of my locker, successfully getting out of that awkward situation. I despised being stared at and known as property, all because I'm an omega. Why does my species type have to define me!? I can see why mom and dad were so troubled about me going to this school. Scratch that, I can see why my mom was concerned, my dad really didn’t care. It’s my first day here and it already sucks. I just hope I’ll be able to make some new friends, and hopefully soon. I looked down at my schedule.
It said that I had English first, ‘better start walking before I'm late for class.’ I thought, quickly placing my books in my locker, and taking my spirals out of my bookbag to place in their too. Then I hung my jacket and book bag on the hook and closed it putting my lock back on. When I turned around two football players picked me up by the front of my shirt staring at me with a mean glare. One was a redhead and the other was blonde and sadly they were Alphas.
“ Ha!, this omega here thinks it’s ok to just walk in here without greeting us?” The redhead said, glancing at the other male with a smirk. I just tried to shrink back away from them both.
“ Why don’t we teach the little b***h, a lesson?” The blonde said as the redhead dropped me. I could smell the power radiating off of them.
Of course, me being me, I fell straight to the ground with a horrid thumping sound. I tried to get up but was met with a kick to the face and stomach. They continued to kick and punch me as I begged them to stop. They snickered, telling me how useless I was, as they taunted me. After a while I stopped begging them to stop and just took the hits, seeing as my pleading only made it worse. I mean, that was the only option. If I were to fight back, I would get into even more trouble than I already was because I was now late for my first period.
When they did stop the first period already ended and kids began to spill out of the rooms in waves as they crowded the hallways. I just stood up, quietly whimpering at the burning sensation all over my body. I turned to my locker while looking at my schedule, it said that my next class was Science Chemistry. I quickly grabbed my spiral and the books that I needed for that class. I was stopped in my tracks when I heard a gasp from beside me. I turned to see a gorgeous girl with a worried look written on her face.
Her eyes were a bright sterling grey type of color with just the slightest discoloration of a dark, but vibrant forest green. She had chocolate-colored skin with the slightest twist of vanilla. Her lips were a light pinkish peach-like color. It wasn’t harsh but, exactly the opposite. She had lightly colored auburn hair that landed in the middle of her back. You could see light streaks of burgundy throughout her hair. Not that I’m into girls, but she did have some good genes.
“ Are you ok? Oh, here let me get that,” She said giving me a once over and then picking up my books for me.
“ Thanks…?” I paused looking at her.
“ Faye… Faye Iwasaki and you are?” She said in an excited voice with a happy smile.
“ Jonah Teal, nice to meet you, Faye,” I said, shaking her hand.
“ You too! Now, why don’t we get you to the nurse for a quick check-up? I’ll stay with you since you're new and I was already supposed to show you around anyway.” She said as we closed our lockers and headed in the nurse's office's direction.
It wouldn’t have been so bad except for the fact that my body hurt like hell. When we made it, the nurse looked at me with surprise written all over her face, but it quickly faded into a worried one. She ushered us in immediately and told me to sit down on the bed. Faye sat on the bed letting me lean on her. I had used the last of my energy from walking here, so I felt completely drained of energy at this exact moment.
“ What happened, dear!?” She said as she examined my arms.
“ Um.. two of the alpha’s from the football team beat me up f-for not g-greeting t-them,” I stuttered the last part, wincing after because she had applied pressure to my ribs.
“ Oh! I'm sorry dear. It looks like you have two broken ribs and a fractured wrist. So you’ll need to go home, do you have anyone to pick you up?” She said kindly as she started to wrap the damaged places.
“ N-no they’re out and I don’t have a c-car,” I said looking down at my hands, my anxiety started to make itself known.
“ I could take you home, and stay there till your parents get home so that you’ll have someone to help you,” Faye said as she pulled out her keys.
“ Ok then, I’ll tell the office that you two went home and that you won’t be back for a week or two. I do need you to look through this book and pick out the alpha’s who beat you up, ok ?” She said handing me a giant book that read “Picture Day” in all caps.
I nodded my head and opened the book. It didn’t take long to spot them since they were two of the top alpha’s here at this school. I wasn't that surprised knowing they were known as vicious and fierce warriors. The top alpha was from the Cruel Howlers pack. For some reason when I saw the top alpha, just the photo alone gave me butterflies. It was as if his hazelnut eyes were staring straight into my teal ones. Below, in the caption, it read “ Damien Clayton ”. I brushed it off as a coincidence and pointed out the other two alpha’s to the nurse.
“ Ok, that's done. Now you will need to take these pain reliever pills with a cup of water once every two-four hours. Well, that's all I need. You may take him home now. Try to ice his ribs down every couple hours,” She said the last part as we walked out of her office and towards the entrance doors.
When we made it to Faye's car, I was amazed. It was such a gorgeous Lamborghini and the design was heavenly. It was different shades of red, blue, black, orange and grey, and had a shattered crystal-like design. I squealed in excitement, knowing I was going to sit in this car. She laughed and helped me into the passenger seat. Then she got in on the driver's side and told me to put in my address. I ended up falling asleep from all the stress and pain that was put on my body earlier this morning.
I opened my eyes looking at the time on the radio, it had just turned twelve and we were heading down my street. As she pulled into my driveway I let out a sigh in relief when I saw that my dad wasn’t home. That would have been bad… Really bad. Especially with how my dad is. I would never live to see the light of day again. Just thinking about that made my bones ache more. That would probably, most likely, earn me a “deserved beating” as my dad likes to call it. I don’t know why the Moon Goddess made my life this way. I let out a long-awaited sigh of sadness.
I got out of the car and opened the front door as she walked in behind me shutting the door quietly. Heading straight upstairs, but at a slow pace because my stomach area hurt so f*****g bad. Faye quickly came and helped me up the stairs making it much easier and faster. I am so thankful for her right now. After I got in my bed and she tucked me into bed, Something that’s never been done to me before! She went downstairs and started to make both of us some soup with a cup of juice on the side. I laid in bed staring up at the ceiling as I let boredom consume me.
After a while, my mind somehow wandered back to the picture of Damien Clayton, who I guess in the book that the nurse had handed me is the top alpha of this school. For some reason he felt familiar, it felt as if I’d already known him for a long time. It’s just weird, because I’ve definitely never seen him before, but I’ve heard that name being said around the pack a few times when I first walked around the pack to see what the land or town? looked like. This Damien guy just… seemed really familiar. Like I’d met him before.
Just then Faye walked into the holding a bowl of soup in one hand and a cup of orange juice in the other. You could still see the steam rising up above the bowl and dispersing into the air. That's how you know it’s fresh from the oven and full of lovin! I love Spongebob, but the smell of this soup might just win me over. It smelled really good as if it was right in front of my face and the smell was multiplied ten-times more than usual.
Well, da? I mean you are a supernatural creature here!
Dammit, Hayes, you gotta warn me when you're gonna just pop up out of nowhere like that!? I said to him through our little mind link that we have.
Man hayes is... is just so annoying! I thought to myself, waiting for him to answer me back.
Hey, I can hear what you're saying, you do realize that right? He replied.
oh… yeah, I forgot, but other than that when I finish healing would you like to go out for a run? I said taking a bite of the soup that Faye had made for me.
You should already know the answer to that. Of course, I wanna run! It’s the only time you let have full control, you meanie! Hayes grumbled out at me.
I’m sorry, Hayes and yes I promise as soon as I get better, I’ll let you go out for a run whenever you want, but only on the weekends! Okay? I asked him
Fine… okay, deal. He said shutting off the mind link.
When I finished the drink I set it on the nightstand beside my bed and turned back towards the Tv in hopes that something good was on. Surprisingly there was. Even though usually around 7:30 - 8:00 pm There are no good shows on whatsoever, so I would just put on my bedtime music playlist and go to sleep. Instead, I sat there watching Spongebob and family guy while talking to Faye. Eventually falling asleep.
In the morning around eleven-thirty - twelve, I was woken up by the loud sound of the door slamming shut. I heard him climbing the stairs, heading in the direction of my room. When he made it, he didn’t bother knocking, he just barged straight into my room. He wore a pissed off expression as he stumbled towards me. Usually, when he came home like this it didn’t end well…
“ WHO THE HELL WAS THAT!” The man I called my father screamed at me as I backed up into the wall behind my bed.
“ M-my f-friend, from school.” I stuttered as I showed my neck to him as a sign of submission when he snarled at me, letting his powerful alpha aurora surrounding the room.
I guess he saw my submission as me being weak and didn’t like that, because he immediately took hold of my neck and slammed me into the wall. Letting out a louder growl more vicious than the one before. He bared his teeth at me, showing his growing canines. It wouldn't hurt as much if I wasn’t already injured and I’m glad he didn’t know that or he’d go way harder on me.
He must have seen Faye leaving. Hayes whimpered to me through our mind link because he knew what was about to happen.
“ SHUT THE f**k UP!” he yelled at me, punching me harder with every word he said after I let a loud high pitched yelp when he punched my lower abdomen. I just let out tiny whimpers knowing that if I made any noise louder than I would be in big trouble.
After about an hour of beating me, he finally stopped and walked out of the room, but before he left, he turned around and looked at me with disgust. I just curled up into a ball on my bed and cried. At this point I didn’t really care if he left or not, I just wanted to be alone now. I f*****g hated that he treated me as if I wasn’t even his kid. In his eyes, It was like I was a rogue that meant nothing to him, just a waste of space. I don’t even know what made him this way towards me, all I can do is assume all the reasons why.
“you're so weak… I don’t know how I made an abomination like you. It’s just pitiful, It really is.” he said lowly and spit on me before finally leaving my room and out the front door.
I silently waited before I finally heard his car pull out of our garage and leave. Then I got up and limped into the bathroom and nursed my wounds before I couldn't take it anymore. I ran to my bed and grabbed my phone from under my pillow. I searched through my contacts for Faye's phone number and called her. After I had kinda explained what just happened, I asked if she would be able to pick me up. She said she’d be over to get me in twenty. Honestly, I just didn’t want to be in this house any longer than I had too, so I was glad that she was able to pick me up so we could hang out. Even if it was just until my mom got home.
Beep Beep!
I heard, looking outside to see Faye waving at me. For some reason, I got really excited knowing I’d think I’d made a friend, but I dismissed the thought. Quickly getting up to grab my phone, running down the stairs and out the door. Jumping in Faye's beautiful car and giving her a much-deserved hug for saving me from a house that I saw as home.
“ Hey!, so I heard something happened. Do you wanna talk now or... at my house?” Faye asked in a worried voice as she pulled back from the hug, looking me in the eyes.
“ At your house, please. I really just want to lay down and sleep right now, but I know that I need to tell someone what's been happening other than Nova, my stuffed bunny animal, and Storm, my stuffed dragon animal.” I said quietly as I leaned against the window, rubbing my eyes that were already red from crying earlier.
“ On it, but you gotta tell me what happened please, then you can go to sleep.” She said as she pulled into her driveway. I realized that we didn’t live that far away from each other. We were a block or two away. Like seriously!
“ Fine, but promise not to do anything irrational? He is still my father whether I like it or not and because … h-he’ll beat me even more, knowing that I told someone about it.” I said as she opened up the front door to her house and let me in first, giving me a nod to show she understood while closing the door.
“ It all started when I turned 5. I started to act even girlier because I always hung out with my mom while my dad was at work all the time, but then he had lost his job. So my mom went out job hunting while my dad stayed home with me. Unfortunately, mom had found a job and took the offer. leaving me with my dad who wanted us to have a father and son bonding time by playing football, watching the game and other boyish stuff. I didn’t enjoy those things though. So I asked him if we could play dragons which is a game that I’d made up when my mom had to run errands and I couldn’t go with, then there was reading which I also enjoyed or drawing. He got angry and told me no boy should be interested in that stuff, That they should be interested in manlier things.” I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves before continuing.
“ I had told him that I wasn’t interested in those things, that I wasn’t like other boys. He just stood there and stared at me for a couple of seconds before he just walked away and grabbed his jacket and the car keys and left. I was left alone for a whole two hours before my mom came home from work and asked me where he was. I told her that he had left out somewhere after I told him that I wasn’t interested in the things that normal boys were interested in. I then started to tear up as I asked her If I had done or said anything wrong to him, She said not to worry about it. So I didn’t. He didn’t come back until two days after, and when he came back, he was drunk and reeked of beer. That was the day when everything began to change.” I was now looking down at my hands that lay in my lap since we were now sitting on her bed.
“ I’m so sorry, Jonah If I’d known it was happening for that long I wouldn’t have asked,” Faye said looking at me with a worried face.
I was mostly surprised that she didn’t think of me differently yet. Sadly after I tell her the rest… she’ll definitely, most likely kick me out of her house. Never to talk or even think of me of her friend, if she even did right now. I knew I had to get this out though… Even if it means losing someone who I think is my friend or wanted to be friends with me. So I took in a deep breath trying to cheer myself up by silently lying to myself saying it’s all going to be ok.
“ ok, I need to let all this out, I can’t just keep telling these things to my stuffed animals,” I said, taking a pause to push back the anxiety and nervousness that was spreading through my veins.
“ From then on he slowly started to act colder and colder to me. He would throw things at me and hit me when we weren’t in mom’s line of sight. Every year it would get worse and worse. Then at the age of 12, they found out I was an omega. Now being as little and naive as I was, I had no idea what they were talking about. All I knew was that this upset my dad so much to the point where I was no longer his son anymore. In his eyes and mind's point of view, all I was and would always be to him was a waste of space. That was when everything really went downhill, He didn’t care that I was his son. All he thought was that I deserved to be punished. And that it was needed, no… normal for me to have daily beatings, or to be disciplined as he thought of it. After the day he found out I was omega it was like I was a rogue to him…" I said looking up to see what she thought of me now that she knew my life story so far.
“ I Just don't understand this one thing. What is his reason for him to hate you?...” She said in a low voice.
“ Because I’m an Omega... a boy omega, the lowest rank in a pack...and on top of that, Please don’t hate me for this… but, boy omegas are almost always mated to a male wolf. It’s very rare for a female wolf to have a male omega as their mate. They are also able to give birth just like any other she-wolf. At least those are the only reasons I can think of,” I said worry laced in my voice.
“ I don’t hate you, How could anyone hate an adorable boy like you. I would just like to know one more thing… Where was your mom during all of this? How come she didn’t do anything to stop him?” She said with irritation.
“ She doesn’t know… and she’s on a three-week business trip, she had left earlier this morning after I left for school.” I looked up at her with a sad smile.
“ Well, you could always stay here with me?... I kinda live alone so It’d be nice to have some company once in a while.” She said hanging halfway off the bed now.
“ As long as I'm not a bother to you, then yes, I would like to stay here for a little,” I said fumbling with my hands nervously.
“ Yes! Thank you so much!? We are going to have so much fun!” Faye said excitedly, Jumping up on the bed while giggling like a crazy schoolgirl.
“ O-ok, can you calm down? Please?” I asked her, not getting why she was so excited about this.
“ How can you calm down when you're having your very first sleepover, with your very first friend of the year!?” She squealed out in happiness.
“ I see your point because this is also my very first sleepover with my first friend!” I said getting excited at the end as well when I realized I just made a friend…
I made a friend!? Me and Faye… were friends!
I Jumped up grabbing her hands, both of us squealing in happiness together. Both of us realized that we’d accomplished having a friend. We jumped up and down for a while, just smiling at each other in happiness. Bursting out in laughter realizing we probably looked creepy as f**k with the way we were staring at each other, but we really didn’t care. We were having so much fun being in the presence of each other.
We’d sat down on the bed just giggling at each other as we slowly calmed down when we heard someone clear their throat. Now that we were fully alert I could smell the scent of an alpha. I quickly shot up from the bed and down onto the floor in a kneeling position, not daring to look this mysterious figure in the eyes. I waited to be yelled at, but it never came. I looked up to see him staring at me weirdly, then turned towards Faye.
“ Who is this?” He asked her.
“ My friend Jonah… he’s an omega… but anyways, why are you here dad?” Faye asked this person, whom I found out was her dad in an annoyed voice.
“ Oh yeah, here's the money for the month. I put extra just in case.” He said handing it to her and leaving.
“ You know you didn’t have to do that right?” Faye said, looking at me in a questioning way while giggling.
“ Oh, sorry. I did it because I’m so used to kneeling in front of alpha’s as a sign of respect, my father would b-beat me if I didn’t since he’s an alpha. So he made me greet him that way w-when mom wasn't home,” I told her getting off the floor and sitting on the bed next to her.
“ Well to end this on a happy note… and because I'm a fat ass, let's go eat some ice cream!” She said jumping off the excitedly. She gets excited too easily.
“ That does sound good but, I don't have any money,” I said sadly because Ice cream sounded really good right now.
“ Who said we were buying Ice cream? Stay here.” Faye said and ran out of the room and downstairs somewhere.
“ GOT IT!” She screamed loudly zooming back into the room with about five to six different tubs of ice cream.
Faye walked over setting the tubs of Vanilla, chocolate, mint, cookies & cream, and strawberry ice cream down on the bed, walking back towards what I assume is her closet to the right next to the window. For a second I thought she had her own bathroom connected to her room. It was just a medium-sized closet though. She walked in the closet and came out a couple of minutes later, throwing a giant bundle of body pillows? at me before going back in and throwing some more regular small pillows at me.
Faye went into the closet one more time, only this time she came out with random sized blankets and comforters. I was going to ask her why we needed them until I saw her start to build a fort. I got up and went to her asking if I could help. She only nodded putting a bunch of the covers on my hands. So I got to work using the bed, some chairs, tall baskets, dressers and a few other objects that were in her room to help hold up the fort. I don’t really know why, but it was pretty fun building the fort.
It was 9:00 when we were halfway finished with the fort. By 9:50 we were sitting in the middle of the fort surrounded by pillows and covers watching the Avengers. Sadly, about precisely an hour or 45 minutes into the movie, we both got bored. We’d also ate a lot of icecreams and the movie wasn’t as interesting as we intended it to be. So, we did the next best thing, we got up turning off the T.v. as we made our way downstairs into her living room.
Taking my time and observing the surroundings, I realize how big her house is on the inside than what It looked like on the outside. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bookcase filled with board games and cards. I quickly and excitedly ran towards the bookcase like there was no tomorrow. If my mom saw how excited I was she would probably compare me to a baby in a candy store right now. I opened up the glass doors to the bookcase and glanced over all the games.
Some of the games are:
Chess
Mancala
Dungeon!
Uno
Taboo
Spades
Scrabble
Goldfish
Candy Crush
Candy Land
I got up quickly closing the case and turning towards Faye. For a second I was timid on whether I should ask to play or not. I pushed it aside and thought about what game I would ask to play if she said yes. I'm thinking of candy crush or mancala, maybe Uno? Yeah, Uno! I began walking over to her. Right when my hand was about to touch her shoulder, my phone started to ring. Already knowing who was calling I grabbed my phone with shaky hands and pressed the answer.
“ Hey, Dad…”
