Anyone but him

Lovella ‘Please stop staring, please please please’ I’ve thought this at least twice a day for as long as I can remember. I couldn’t figure it out when I was younger but now I’m pretty sure it’s just because I’m the ‘orphan’, it was my nickname. I’m not even sure anyone knew my real name anymore. I was the lowest level Omega, I had the worst jobs, no family and no friends. I was beaten especially by the ranked girls whenever they felt I did something ‘wrong’. No matter what I did they told me it was wrong, I was stupid, I was annoying, I was put down and will always live a life walking on eggshells.  Some would say why don’t you just leave... but where? Where would I go? With no family, no wolf yet, no money and no clue what life was like outside the pack. I’ve seen human films before but we were the furthest pack from them. We are the largest pack under Alpha Richard. We are currently at 800 wolves, he is a good alpha, he kept me when no one else would. However he was so busy with his son Alpha Jake & getting ready to pass on the pack that he had no clue what was going on with the Omega’s anymore. We were overlooked, over worked & beaten daily by ranked members. The worst... Stacey. She felt she owned the pack already, she was lined up for Luna. Rumour has it that if she’s not Alpha Jake’s fated mate he still has to mark her and reject his real mate, to appease a long term treaty. So she goes around treating us all like s**t. Stacey was tall (6ft), blonde with a perfect body but zero personality. She wasn’t clever, she wasn’t nice, she never laughed and showed no kindness. That was not a Luna to me. So here we are 5 days from Alpha Jakes 18th birthday & 10 days till Alpha Richard passed on the pack so he could become a well respected Elder. I was downstairs in the kitchen preparing packed lunches for the ranked members so they could go to school. I got up at 4am every week day to prepare 200 lunches in order of importance. Alpha Jake is obviously top and I’m number 200. Some days I don’t even get to mine depending on what the ranked members have decided they want. Jakes is mostly protein - eggs, meat, fish, vegetables & brown rice. Stacey & her friends - a salad, with 2 squares of chocolate & something stupid every single day yesterday it was avocado cut into a flower.... I got smacked right across the face for that... I did a rose but it should have been a lily. 100 ranked members in between and 50 younger children. Then the omegas usually have a sandwich just so they get to actually eat. I’ll take whatever’s quickest.  So here I am preparing lunches as always, I’ve finished 180 lunches by 6am and I’m feeling pretty good, I should be done by 6.30 and may even get time to shower before the school bus arrives at 7.... but then I hear the clip clop of 4 pairs of high heeled shoes... there’s only one group that could be... it’s unmistakable.... it’s Stacey & her group. I’m screwed...
