LUNA'S CHOICE

AN OMEGA’S DREAM ‘The Arc brands is facing huge criticism from customers who accuse them of sub-quality products and services – their stocks are immensely falling each day and disturbingly, the company seems to be uncertain of the next action to take. Miss Eve, the chief social official of the Arc brands has also refused to grant an interview to the media, erupting even more public uproar…’ I watched a reporter speaking on the television and could not help but smile, a twisted smile of revenge. Ignoring the rest of the broadcast, I sat on the cushion with many thoughts running through my brain, the Arc Brand is facing a down slide, and I am behind it all. I am going against one of the richest billionaires in the world but even more than that, the Alpha of the greatest werewolf pack in the world. When did I become so brazen? My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a buzzing phone and I picked my phone on the central table and Eve's name glared back at me. I answered the call immediately and her melodious echoes in my head "Sharen, turn on your TV.” She said on a high note, eagerly awaiting my response. “The Arc brand is facing huge criticism from customers who accuse them of sub-quality products and services,” I said, mimicking the reporter who had just spoken on the TV dramatically. “Yeah girl, we did it but… sigh” Eve released a deep breath before continuing with a stern voice, “There is no more time to joke, things aren’t easy on me here; Marcus wants everything resolved immediately, we have to take action immediately or be left with futility.” She said in a rather stressed tune. “Then what should I do, Eve, what do you want me to do?” I said helplessly as my tune turned solemn. In fact, I could predict her response. I knew the next action to take but just wondered if I was really ready… ready to face him again. “It’s time to pay him a visit, Sharen, show him your proposal and make him realize if he doesn’t agree to your terms, his company and whole assets will go down the drains,” she said firmly. Eve’s appearance might give off weakness, but when she acts, she takes the bull by the horns. “…don’t tell me you are doubtful about the plan, Sharen. This has been the moment we have been awaiting for years now. This is not the time to be skeptical; It's the time to get up and act.” She asserted; her tone doesn’t accept a ‘No’ for an answer. With my eyes closed, I released a slight breath and then replied “Yes, it has been ten years now and there is no more doubt in my mind, Eve. I have everything under control and I will make an appointment to his office immediately.” I could feel a huge burden falling off my mind as I spoke those words. There’s no turning back again. “Sharen I believe in you and have done everything I could to help you, it is now left to you. Make me proud.” She said and ended the call. I stood up walking towards the mirror in my room and my face stared back at me, I stared into my pale blue eyes and could see no fear in it, “You can do this Sharen, you will.” Eve has trusted me with this, and it is time to get what is rightfully mine. I dropped the phone on the center table as I collapsed onto a sofa and stared up at the ceiling. Memories of the last ten years back kept running through my head as pain shot through the back of my head. My eyes were swollen with tears and my mouth started to tremble as tears gushed out of my eyes. I shouldn’t have been happy, I shouldn’t have expected too much, a lowly omega who had believed in love. No! An Omega like myself was not allowed to be loved, especially by an Alpha! It had always felt unrealistic, like a dream, but I still dived in, believing in the power of a werewolf’s mate bond. I brought my palm to my face as more tears poured out of my eyes. I could remember how happy I was, my mind embraced the lovely journey ahead, my life is about to take a great turn. I took a fragrant bath and wore the prettiest revealing dress to allure him; I waited desperately in his chamber, lying on his bed beaming about the exhilarating night. Alpha Marcus walked in briskly and spared me a look. He frowned as his look depicted irritation, but I decided to overlook it. He sauntered at me as he bent down towards then he whispered in my ear, “You are a weakling. Do you expect an Alpha like me to pronounce an ordinary omega as my Luna, the Luna who would rule my people, no way!” He exclaimed. His voice was malicious, like a dagger piercing through my heart; My face fell, and my teeth trembled in the pain of rejection as tears poured down my face. Who would have thought my day would end so horribly? I stared deeply into his unyielding golden eyes as tears rolled down my cheeks, but his look was so indifferent, he gave me a sinister smile as if enjoying the pain and fear he inflicted in me. He suddenly grind his teeth against each other and stood up pacing back and forth for a moment. “Get up and leave before I made the guard do it.” He commanded with full wrath in his voice, waiting patiently for me to make a move. My feet became feeble and my body heavy. Why is fate so cruel? Isn’t he my mate? Why was he being brutal? Are mates not meant to love and cherish each other? Why is my life so different? Has the moon goddess forgotten me? Or is my life just filled with bad luck? Those questions roamed my head as I stared at the man’s muscular shoulder, who detested a weak lady like me. But I lived with it; the shame and the mockery. He would brutally use me and leave me in his room. Then I became tired and tried to escape multiple times, but my entire attempt was doomed to fail. This, however, repeated itself and Alpha Marcus got so furious that he threw me in the dungeon. He had said “Let's see how you attempt to run again.” My mind skipped a bit. I still couldn’t believe what he had said until I was thrown into the cold and dark room without no one to plead for me – I was simply guilty of trying to go rogue. I ate like a rat, slept on a cold hard floor, in the dark room; I had cried my eyes out all night to sleep, with nobody available to hear my predicament. I grew up without my parents. I knew nothing about my relative, I am a girl grew up in the pack, a lowly omega desperately waiting for the day I would meet my mate and fall in love. But the day only seemed to get worse. My health started to deteriorate, and I found I was pregnant, pregnant with Marcus’s child.
