THE SCENT OF THE TRUE LUNA

It keeps getting worse

My whole body was stiff. ''What is so wrong with me!'' I growled in rage and my wolf growled too ''snap out of it, Jessie.'' she said loudly, and it felt like I was raving mad ''You are right, Wolfie. I'll just forget about him and move on'' I said

with a defeated look in my voice ''shut up, Jessie. he is our mate and we must get him'' my wolf said ''oh I think you forgot something, wolfie'' I said sarcastically ''what?, tell me.'' she said ''I was REJECTED! and didn't you hear him when he said he will

have my head'' I steered ''he was just kidding, come on. All we gotta do is find the person who took my scent'' she said, I scoffed ''Our scent, Wolfie. not just yours'' I said cutting her off ''It doesn't matter because it's gone'' she said in a low tone and then went silent

. I stirred up boldly, straightening my shoulders with a wild glow in my eyes and yeah the glow meant I was going to find the b***h who did this to me, get my scent back, and get claimed by the alpha king by all means necessary.

moments later, I walked towards the quarters mainly for Omegas and I hesitated to go in because I had friends who could get sad after I broke the horrible news to them and I also had enemies who could use this as an opportunity to make fun at me, I was

rethinking my decision. but after a few seconds of contemplating I finally went in Immediately my two close friends, Rex and Ashley rushed toward me, their eyes glowing in curiosity ''How did it go'' they said loudly in unison and the rest of the Omegas stared at

us in disgust, this wasn't the first time we put up a whole drama in the quarters, they even nicknamed us as the three musketeers behind our backs ''cat got your tongue'' Rex said to me rubbing his hands on his long tousled hair, I slowly swallowed a bile in my throat,

thinking of a beautiful way to euphemize my rejection situation ''well he didn't think I was his mate'' I said in a low tone ''so you basically got rejected'' Ashley said with a blank expression on her face ''yes, yes I did'' I said my eyes getting teary ''But you said he was your

mate right?'' Rex said looking at me pitifully ''Yes he is, I can feel him. but he can't so...'' I said my tears flowing down my cheeks slowly ''Don't cry, Jessie. a lot of people are here'' Ashley said glancing around as she took me out and of course, Rex tagged along ''are you really

crying right now'' Ashley said looking at me with disappointment ''what were you expecting to happen, Omegas end up with Omegas and not Alphas'' Rex said furiously and I glared at him ''Why do you always have to be like this'' I said to him crying even more and suddenly

Ashley gave him a sign then he raised my face up I'm sorry, Jessie'' he said smiling at me but I pretended like I wasn't listening ''fate holds something different for you. I see it in you all the time'' Ashley said patting my back as Gamma, and Jake came in, he was Ashley's secret lover that

only me and Rex knew about it, he had a really cute face with gorgeous blonde hair ''hey Ashley'' he said with a sad expression on his face ''what do you want, Jake.'' Ashley said rudely and I just knew that they got into a fight now ''are you still mad at me'' Jake said with a subtle look

on his face that seemed genuine but Ashley was not having any of it ''I don't want to speak to you, Jake'' ashley retorted, then suddenly he grabbed me by the shoulders unexpectedly ''please, can you tell me the duty of a gamma in this pack'' He asked me staring at me intensely ''well, the

duty of a Gamma Is to train and prepare werewolves for war'' I said quickly so he would let me go and he did glancing back at Ashley ''did you hear that?, Ashley. that was exactly I was doing with Ciara on the field'' He said raising a brow at Asley chose to stay silent and honestly I didn't

blame her, low-status Omegas like us are mostly exploited by the werewolves in a higher power, and compared to Ciara she was nothing, Ciara was Alpha Lucian's sister, a female beta of the pack mated to her brother's beta, Damian. So I understood her fears but Jake was relentless ''she even had a

mate. come on I'm not that petty'' He said gawking at Ashley but she looked away ''so you are really giving me the silent treatment right now'' he said with a stern look on his face and then darted away furiously. I looked over at Ashley and I had nothing to say to her so I kept mute instead and

so did Rex, he didn't say a word instead he walked out leaving me and Ashley together. The cold breeze blew my red hair across my face as Ashley looked at me in admiration ''I wish I could be like you, Jessie'' she said to me sharply ''what! me?'' I said in bewilderment ''You are so beautiful, You have it

all'' she said ''what are you saying Ashley?, you are just as beautiful'' I said smiling at her but she didn't smile back all she did was keep a straight face and scoffed ''you don't have to woo me with beautiful words, Jessie'' she said chuckling with a slight of darkness ''If I was like you, I wouldn't have to

Manipulate my way anywhere'' she said and walked away, eventually leaving me in confusion. Was this really how she felt of herself? She looked down on herself, and it hurt me because she was my closest friend and I had no idea. I looked over at the skies. Today couldn't get any worse, at least that

was what I thought until I suddenly heard the loud trumpet fan flare, which meant the alpha of our pack was approaching the omega quarters, and it could only mean trouble for all Omegas in the pack. My heart raced with fear terribly ''don't try this ever again or else I'll have your head'' Alpha Lucian had

Said earlier to me, I froze. Panic coursed through my veins as all the omegas were darting into the hall where the Alpha was. I didn't want to take any steps. I was scared that Alpha Lucian was probably coming for me after our encounter and I feared how grave my punishment could be, but in order not

to get a higher punishment, I rushed over there and there he stood, radiating an aura of authority. Beside him was Damian his beta and Jake his Gamma. ''we pledge loyalty to the Alpha'' we all said in unison, bowing our heads to Lucian, and he didn't even blink. All he had was a blank expression on his face.

''two Omegas in our midst have committed grave crimes worthy of grievous penalties'' Alpha Lucian spoke with his eyes darting around like he was searching for me and I was sure to stay out of his sight as the Omegas murmured among themselves in both confusion and fear ''the omega in question has done something

Under our pack rules, the werewolf in question is a rat in our midst and has formed a truce with our enemy pack and is currently in possession of wolfsbane to harm Our Alpha'' Jake said in a loud voice that got everybody talking again. My heart met relief for a while because I was definitely not in possession of wolfsbane

at all until Beta Damian spoke ''the other werewolf had committed a crime worthy of a light penalty by posing as our Alpha's mate'' he said and I froze again with trembling hands. Why did it feel like I was the second werewolf they were talking about?
