I. The Birthday Omega and The Tragedy Moment
"Happy Birthday!"
I smiled and kissed my mother. She's always present when it comes to this occasion.
Eventually, today is my birthday. My 18th birthday.
What's special to this day is maybe I can finally smell my mate.
"I'm sorry, honey. Mother can't buy a cake for you today. I have my savings but it's still not enough" she sadly said.
I sigh.
How many times do I have to tell her that it's okay? I'm fine of not having a cake or party in my birthday. Not that I'm not used to it anyways.
I took her hand and smiled .
"Mom, it's fine. I don't need it anyways. As long as you're here with me celebrating my birthday, I'm contented. Please, don't worry about it."
She sigh but smiled at me after. I like it when she smiles because her hazel eyes glowed which particularly showed all her emotions.
"I'm so proud having a son like you" she said softly.
She leaned forward and kissed my cheeks. I look at her and she smiles. Her eyes tells how she's so proud at me.
"I know, mom. I know.. "
I heard a rushing thuds outside my door. I quickly lean on my bed and cover my body with a blanket pretending to be sleep. Mom giggles at my action.
I cringed when someone bolted hard on the door without knocking.
"Ompf!"
"Happy birthday big brother!"
"Happy birthday my beloved brother!"
They shout in unison. Two small frame hug me basically on top of me.
'Annoying creatures!'
"Hey, get off me!" I tried to struggle from their grip.
They started giggling and never lessen their grip. 'Tsk tsk'.
"Your big brother will be late in school! You want that?"
"No!" finally they lessen their grip. I can now breath.
I grinned sheepishly. Oh, I love my two minions.
"If you ever find your mate, don't forget us big brother, okay?" said Cassidy with her hands clasp together in her chest and gave me her famous puppy eyes.
"If you ever find your mate, we should be the first one to know!" said Cyra, my youngest sister.
She pointed her index finger at me which made me chuckled.
Meet my two sisters.
Cassidy Holmes is the second of me. She had this pitch black hair like mine. Big greened eyes and a body fit for her age. She's now 15 years old.
On the other hand, Cyra Holmes is the youngest. She have the same features as mine but in a young feminine version. She's now 11 years old.
And lastly, Colin Holmes. That's me, the eldest. I just turned 18 right now. Which means, I can finally meet my mate at this age.
'Mate'
The thought of it makes my wolf howled in joy. I just do hope that my mate will be on the same class as I am. I came from the family Omegas. The low-class.
Everyone believes that Omegas are weak, low and debilitated. That's why it's all right for us to become servants in this pack. I grow believing those sayings. I'm fine with it as long as they wont' hurt my family and me. It's all that matters for me.
I have this feeling that my mate is also an Omega. Well, that will be a good thing if ever. Because I can't handle an Alpha or Beta. They're only intimidates me.
My pack is Silver West Pack. Our pack is known to other packs because of our next Alpha. For the first time in our generation, our next Alpha is a Female. Alpha Mia Thria Moon is our soon-to-be Alpha.
If you think, she can't handle the pack, well that's where you're wrong.
Well, she's sorta a boyish type. Maybe it's because she is surrounded by many boys in their rankings.
The first time I saw her, she already intimidates me.
She looked venom when she's angry. Her Alpha blood gives more powers which radiating in her body, either outside or inside. The way she looks, it's scary because you can't see nothing in her silver eyes but emptiness. Blank for the right term.
I wonder if she knows how to smile.
She fights fast, nasty and unfair. She's witty and wise. You have to be smart when you're going to ask her questions because if not, you will only look i***t to her.
She held unquestionable power that's why everyone respects her. If I mean everyone, that includes to all other packs.
No one dares to mess our soon-to-be Alpha.
Next year will be her 18th birthday. And in that day, the position of her Father, which is our current Alpha, Victorino Moon, will be pass to her Daughter. And soon, she will be officially known as Alpha in Silver West Pack.
"Brother!"
Cyra snapped her small delicate hands in front of me which made me jump in surprise.
"You're pacing out. What are you thinking?" Cassidy narrow her eyes in confusion.
I lost from my thoughts.
I stood up and made my way to our small bathroom. But before I can enter, I told my sisters to wait me downstairs.
It's already 7:37 AM and I have to walk through my sisters to their school.
I made my quick shower and get dressed. I wore my faded jeans and crumpled white polo shirt. I don't have time ironing it.
After that, I made my way downstairs. I have to watered the plants and arrange some boxes in the basement before I can leave.
"You okay?" mother ask when I made my way to the kitchen.
My mother, Carlisle Holmes, is the Chef in our pack. My sisters are dishwashers. While I'm the cleaner. Actually, all the Omega boys are cleaners. Unfortunately, I was assigned in the comfort rooms and in the kitchen. Sometimes, I deliver papers on the Pack Office.
I sat at one stool facing her. I'm really not in my mood today.
"Yeah. I'm sort of tired. Maybe it's because the training yesterday" I replied yawning.
I had my first ever training yesterday. The Alpha decided to train us Omegas. In that way, we can defend ourselves and learn to fight with the rouges.
I did learn but the kick and punches I received is another thing. I can't handle it. My body can't handle it. They're true that Omegas are weak.
I don't have proud muscles, to be honest. I don't even have freaking abs. You know, you can describe my body like stick. But not to it's intent.
My friends told me that I'm a good looking man. My greened eyes made it.
There are just things that I doubted about myself. I always think that I'm weak and I can't do greater things. I just can't.
"You sure you're okay? Your eyes told me so. You really look dead today"
I replied her my nth sigh. She tossed the sandwich she made for me. I murmur my thanks to her and started eating.
After eating, I made my way outside after I said my goodbyes to my mother.
It's another day again.
I thought to myself. I just do hope I can find my mate in school.
I'm so excited to see her..
'My mate'..
"Carter"
I called the only person who knows me most aside from my mother.
"Dude! What's up man?" he leaned his knuckles to meet mine.
We made a fist bump.
It's our bro-code. Carter Voltor is the son of our 3rd in Command, Friedrich Voltor. I don't know why we stuck up being friends at the end. All I remember is I helped him when he was trapped in deep hole in the middle of the forest.
"I'm good. Just that, I don't have my mood today. I had my first training yesterday. I'll tell you, it's sucks."
He stopped from his tracks, and face me. Amusement was evident in his eyes like I said something that struck him. Like Dragon Balls do really exist.
"What can you say that?"
I shrug.
"You see, I'm look like a zombie today. I feel like every fiber of my body hurts." I said yawning again.
I really need a rest. I'm so tired.
"You nagged like a girl, dude." he said chuckling and I growled.
"i***t" I shoved his face and moved on from walking.
After a while, he called me again but I did not stop. I heard his heavy footstep behind. I stop from my tracks when I notice the small box he's holding.
"What's that?" I asked out of curiosity.
He smiled and I was surprised that he give it to me.
"That's yours. Happy Birthday dude"
I looked at him in awe. I'm speechless. OA as it may sound but I'm just completely speechless.
Not that I'm not used to received gifts by him. It's just that, he's the only one who have the guts to give gifts for someone like me.
Still surprise, I quickly open the box and took out the Rolex brand Watch.
I stared at it like it's a one kind of magic. Like I can't believe I have this kind of watch.
'Is this for real?'
"Is this really for me?" I asked still surprise.
He only laugh at me. That's when I realize that I looked like an i***t.
'Of course! That's for you!'
"Thank you dude." I sincerely said.
He's one hell of a friend. He's so awesome. I never regretted having a friend like him.
He only smiled at me. And tap my shoulders.
"I should be going. And you're welcome dude." He grinned sheepishly.
Oh, I know that look!
Before I have the chance to spunk him, he already run away laughing his ass off.
Well, I think it's better.
I take a look again at my own watch.
It is color black with decorated lines by each side. Oh, I love it already! Black is my life. I smirk when I thought something.
'I forgot, that bastard knows my favorites!'
I sigh and curved my lips into a small smile. I owe him big one.
I put it again on the box and shoved it inside my bag. And then, I made my way to the Biology Class.
*****
"The Alpha cannot not make it today"
"Why?"
The man just shrugged.
"Rouge matters, maybe."
We're currently here now in the Laboratory room. We have to find what chemical should we mix in order for us to create explosions.
Mixing chemicals are not my thing that's why I prefer listening those people at my back talking about the Alpha.
I have nothing to do anyways.
The submission is next month so no need to stress myself now.
"You really can't judge the Alpha by her looks" said the first one.
"Agree. Judging by her body, I can't believe her petite body could kill in just one snap" the second one amuse by his words.
"Do you see her trained? God, she's so fast. I can't barely blinked my eyes at that time" he continued.
They're now making bubbles in the chemicals they mixed.
They continued talking as I also listening to them secretly. No wonder they are one of the random fans of the Alpha.
After a while, I decided to fix my equipment since I'm starting to get bored here when a nasty smell filled in my nose.
'Rouges!'
"You smell that?" the girl in front asked.
Everyone in the laboratory sniff in the air then a flash of shock, fear, and rage shown in their eyes after.
Someone bolted on the door.
"EVERYONE! GO BACK HOME IMMEDIATELY! NOW!"
Mr. Hugh, our Biology Professor, shout out of his panic.
Everyone, including me, rushed out of the room and made our way to our homes as fast as we can.
The emergency alarm rang and I witnessed how the students run for their lives. Some are shifting into their wolves and some are fighting the rouges.
I'm starting to panic. I trembled in fear.
'Oh s**t! My sisters! Damn!'
I made my way downstairs and witnessed again how students running, not even caring about those people they'll going to bump into.
As we made our way downstairs, one of the rouge jump on us which made us carelessly pushed by some students who fights the rouge who jump on us a while ago.
Unfortunately, I stumbled on the ground. I can feel my left arm broken.
's**t! s**t! s**t!'
Some students stomped the hell out of me that's why I can't rise myself on the ground.
I winced when I felt the pain on my arm.
'f**k! I have to see my sisters!'
As I was about to rise myself up, one strong arms help me to stand up. I quickly balance and composed myself before looking up.
I was greeted by a pair shiny blue orbs. I quickly recognized my friend, Carter looking at me worried.
"Dude, are you okay?! Here, let me help you"
Holding my broken arm, we made our way on the fire exit.
I linked my sisters but unfortunately, it was blocked. I tried linking my mother.
'Come on, come on'
I cheered myself. We made our way out. I saw how the students outside pushing and shouting each other. Panic, fear, and horrid faces were apparent in their faces as they run.
I would love to shift but I choose not to. I don't want to fight the rouges. Call it cowardice but I don't care! I don't want to die yet!
I saw how the Pack's Warriors fight. I would love to amaze on them because they fought like experts but I don't have time.
I think I lose my remaining energy.
'Colin!'
'Mom!' I snapped from my thoughts when I heard my mom in mindlink.
'My sisters! s**t! We are attacked by rouges! My sisters!' I spit out .
I'm having a hard time to calm down in this situation. I'm freaking panicking! I need to see my sisters safe and sound!
'Calm down. They're here in the Pack's House. Don't worry. Where are you!?'
I sigh in relief after what mother said. Now, I just have to get my ass off here!
'Still here in school. The exit and entrance is having a stampede. I couldn't pass through'
Damn! I need to find my way out. I need to find ways!
'Keep safe and sound there, honey. We will wait you here.' she said worriedly.
'I will mom. Don't worry' I blocked my link after.
Someone nudge me behind.
"Colin, I have to go. My father is here. I have to assist him. Are you all right?" said Carter exhausted.
I nearly forgot him!
"Sure! Sure! Thank you so much dude. Keep safe" I replied quickly.
He only nods and tap my shoulders.
I watched him leave. I'm still here near at the fire exit. I'm now itching to leave!
When I spotted a rouge, I hid myself at the bushes praying that no one can caught me here.
I noticed there are now only a few rouges. My eyes wandered at the entrance.
My eyes widen when I saw our Alpha coming in together with our assistant 3rd in command, and Beta. I expected Alpha Thria but no one shown. Not even her silhouette.
'Where's Alpha Mia?' I asked myself.
The nasty smell is now covered by the smell of dominance and exquisite power. I can see relief in the eyes of students. That includes me.
'Here comes our super heroes'
The Beta helps the students pass the entrance while the Assistant 3rd in Command help the Pack's Warriors fight the rouges including Alpha Victorino.
The students who is brave enough to fight is helping too.
'What am I doing here anyways?'
I need to go home!
I run towards the exit where our 3rd in Command is also helping the students to pass.
When I almost made my way out, I stopped.
My eyes wide.
I looked around sniffing the air.
An intoxicating smell of honey with vanilla filled in my nose.
I almost fell on my knees from that delicate smell of our..
'Mate..'
'Mate! Mate! Mate!'
My wolf howled in tears of joy.
My excitement turned into frown.
Adrenaline rushed in my body when I'm thinking about my mate hurt from the attacking of rouges.
I'm starting to panic again.
'I need to see her!'
I was about to follow her scent when a large strong hands stopped me.
"Go! Go! Go! Where are you going!? Faster!" shout by our 3rd in Command using his authoritive tone.
"B-but—"
"ON THE TRUCK, NOW!" he shouted again.
I know he's now getting angry. His eyes switched into colors.
But— my mate! I just can't leave here without her!
I did not finish my complained when he push me harshly inside the truck.
I almost stumbled again. Good thing I was able to balance.
I can feel my wolf mourned about what happen.
I didn't have the chance to see my mate today.
'Very unlucky'
I want my rage to control me over but I was able to control not to.
At least now I know my mate studying to the same school. To the same school where I also studied.
I pick up the stone and played it in my hands. I still remember her scent. It's very intoxicating. Her smell still lingers in my nose as if like teasing me. I watched the group of teenagers not far in front. Just like the others, they are helping the wounded members while I only sit here on the side, watching them. Afterall, I don't have any clue how to treat a wounded person. I'm suck of it. I'm just don't have the capability.
If only I had the powers to go back the borders fast as I could, I will risk it. But what else does the omega can do aside from cleaning a 100 years old basement and feeding the pups? None.
I guess all I have to do for now is to wait for the unexpected moment to inhale my mate's scent in most unexpected time.
