Better Version of Me

It was currently 3:05AM and I was still cleaning the pack house. I am what you call an omega- the lowest rank of the pack. I am the punching bag for when people are mad or just want to punch something for fun. My body is severely injured but I have to deal with it. I get called names, I get tortured on a daily basis. I have no family, I was abandoned in the pack boarders when I just four-years-old. Ever since then I was an omega. My wolf- Celeste says we are not an omega. I’m not sure what that means and when I ask all she says is “you will see when the time comes.” Maybe she is just delusional. ‘I am not delusional, Ame.’ She spoke. ‘Well you won’t tell me why you say that so you are delusional,’ I said back. ‘You will find out soon enough.’ And with that she disappeared into the back of my mind. I shrugged it off and continued to clean. I only had a few more dishes left then I could finally go to bed and wake up at 5AM. As I finished putting the last dish in the drying rack, a voice began to talk. “Why are you still here?” A deep voice said. I jumped and spun around. Looking down immediately, as it was the Alpha’s son, Jake. “Sorry Alpha, I had just finished cleaning.” I said just barely above a whisper. He sniffed the air and was beside me in a flash. “I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up.” He spoke. I had a confused look in my face and then he put his finger under my chin to make me look at him. Confusion clouded my face as he just stared at me. His eyes were black. That’s when I noticed the sparks. He was my mate. Oh no. No. No. No. He is the one who tortures me the most. I backed away in fear and he had a look of hurt in his eyes. But that was his wolf, not Jake. A few seconds later his eyes were back to their normal chocolate brown color filled with hatred and disgust. “Hurry up with this mess and go to bed. I need you for tomorrow. I have a lot of work to be done.” He gritted out and walked away. I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. ‘Maybe things will get better with him.’ Celeste purred. ‘Maybe, but I don’t think so, do you see the way he looks at us?’ I commented. She shrugged and retreated back into the back of my mind. I made my way to my room and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. ~ Dream~ “Amethyst, we need to talk.” A powerful voice said. All I could see was black. I looked around trying to find the voice. “Who are you? I can’t see anything.” I said. “It’s me. The moon goddess.” As she said that a woman is a white dress came into view. She was beautiful, she had long dark brown hair, hazel eyes with specks if green in them, she was truly a goddess. “Sorry, your highness.” I apologized as I bowed my head. “There’s no need for that my child. I must tell you something. Always trust your inner self, your wolf, your other half, as she is a descendant of me. She will always protect you no matter the cost. There will be some very hurtful things that will happen soon but I need you to be strong for me. They will get better and you will be glad it happened. Your true self will be awakened soon.” She spoke, authority in her voice. “What do you mean?” I asked. “You will know when the time is right. That’s all the time I have. We will meet again soon. Now, wake up.” She replied. ~end of dream~ I shot up out of bed. Although i wasn’t tired anymore, I ran to take a shower before the other omegas did. I had to take a quick shower to save water. I quickly washed and rinsed my hair before washing my body, I rinsed my body off the the freezing cold water before jumping out and drying myself off. Omegas aren’t allowed to have hot water. Only cold. I threw on my clothes which consisted of a baggy black t-shirt with holes in it and an old pair of leggings. I threw on my busted, torn up sneakers and brushed my hair. I threw it up in a high ponytail before leaving the bathroom to head to the kitchen. It was 5:14AM and breakfast had to be done by 6AM. I was the only one up so I went ahead and started. I’m a good cook, I had learned from a young age how to cook. I enjoy it. I had to cook for five hundred people. I made pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, omelettes, muffins, and biscuits. Around 5:45AM the other omegas came to the kitchen and was shocked to see me have almost everything done. I smiled at them, which they ignored. I started making drinks. I made freshly squeezed orange juice, apple juice, sweet tea, there was milk in the refrigerator and water. 6AM came around and everyone was up and in the kitchen. I hid in the corner like I’m supposed to. No one wants to see my face in the morning. Once everyone finished eating I started to clean the dishes. It took me about two hours to finish cleaning. That’s when I had to go see Alpha Jake. I remember the awkward conversation of last night. He said he has a lot of work for me to do. I sighed and went to go find him but he mind-linked me. “Come to my room. Now.” He ordered. “Right away Alpha.” I replied. If only I was prepared for what was about to happen.
