1034 Words
It was a sunny afternoon but I had to go to the market to buy some fresh bread for supper. Grandmother said she was cooking favorite soup tonight and I was so excited. "Look she's the Omega." "She's so beautiful." "Look at her white hair " As I walked to the market, all I could hear were whispers about myself. I knew I looked different than the other females. I was born with white hair, grey eyes and smooth skin like milk. I know I do look beautiful but I have not been able to make any friends as I was an Omega. I recall a memory of me running home to my grandmother crying because the kids refused to play with me. It was that day that my nana explained to me what is meant to be omega and the future that awaits me. I certainly hate the fact that I will br taken from my home to go marry some royal who might not love me. All for the sake of bearing alphas. I want to be like the other females in my village. I want to find my mate and form a bond with them. We can set up an small ice cream shop and raise our kids. We may not have much but I want to be loved and love as well. I have tried everything to run away from my fate. From cutting my hair to dying it black but it never worked. My silver hair always came back. Sighing, I make my way to the bakery to purchase my bread. "Hello Grandpa Jones" I greet the sweet old shop owner. "Well well, if it isn't our precious Elise. How are you doing today?" He answered. Grandpa Jones was the one person who did not label me as the omega I. the village. He opened the bakery when he lost his wife and is like a grandpa to me. "It's hot today" I complain Packing a huge loaf of bread for me, he laughs and offers me a drink. We talk a little and I set off for home. Hugging my bread to my chest. I hum happily thinking of the soup I will be having for supper. I have always been that way. The littlest of things were enough to make me happy. "The king has issued a royal decree......" Hmnn? It seemed to be an announcement was being made in the market square. It also sounded like it was from the king himself. "It's best I listen so I can tell nana" I mumbled. "....that the annual omega search is to begin in earnest. Every omega be it male or female that has reached the age of 18 will be taken to the royal palace to be groomed and mated with the members of the royal family " Oh no.... Grandmother has told me about this but to think that it would actually be happening. I'm scared. I don't want to go "Gosh, I wish I was an Omega. To be promised the life of royalty from birth" One of the village girls commented. I went home while holding my bread tightly to my chest. On reaching out little cottage, I saw nana adding the spice herbs to the bubbling pot of soup. Unable to control my tears anymore, I begin crying. "Oh my beautiful child, what's the matter" She tried to comfort me for a while. When I had a good cry, I told my grandmother all about the announcement that was made in the market square. There was silence. None of us said a word With tears in her eyes, nana said "Elise my sweet child, it is your destiny". We held each other for a long time crying. I was not even able to eat the soup that i was so excited about. After hours of trying to comfort ourselves, we went to bed. The birds were singing so beautifully and the sun grazed our village with so much light and warmth. But to me, it was a sad view. I could not sleep a wink. I was kept awake with the thoughts of what the life that could be awaiting me in the palace. I really wish I was not an Omega and a normal female werewolf. Another thing about being an Omega is that we don't get our own wolves. We share the wolf of our mate. A mate who only wants to possess and control you. I don't want that. I want to be genuinely loved. I finally decide it's time to get up and freshen up. I put on one of my favorite dresses. A white flowery gown that goes with my hair. It was at this moment that nana came in. I noticed that she had a sad look in her eyes. Touching my cheek, she said "My dear Elise, you are a special existence. You are beautiful and deserve everything good in this world." "Nana......" "The moon goddess has you in mind dear. Come it's time" I immediately understood what was going on. They have come to take me to the royal palace. With my head down, I followed nana out of the cottage. I could tell that the village chief was with someone but I was too scared to look up. However, for some reason, I seemed drawn to this person. Finally finding the courage to look up, it was like my heart was bound to this male forever. He has long curly black hair. A very bulky muscular body. His skin was like that of molten chocolate and his eyes..... I never knew green could be so serene. Nothing else mattered. I wished to be controlled and dominated by this male. For once, I was happy that I looked fragile and meek. I wanted to curl into him and never let go. Before my brain could catch up, I was already walking towards him. I climbed his body wrapping my legs round his waist. My face was buried in the crook of his neck. He smelled really nice. At that moment, the thought of me being afraid was so absurd. From today on, I'm his possession.
