The So Called Omega

Chapter 9

Grace

"Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding" -Albert Einstein

I finally stopped running when I got to the field behind the school. I couldn't believe he asked me that. I thought I was being careful . I've done so well these last few years . "Grace! Breathe and calm down" my wolf Sliver said. I don't know how she's so calm. She knows this will raise questions if others find out I have a wolf. Especially since my wolf's aura felt way stronger than a omega. I walked into a the forest and walked to a clearing that not a lot of people knew about. "Sliver , we might have to leave now and go to my cousin's house" I said. "Let's not jump to decisions yet" She said. "Let's hope he doesn't tell anyone" I said. She smiled softly and retreated to the back of my mind. I thought about going to my cousin's . She would welcome me with open arms. She's probably only one that understood me . I felt like I belonged around her . I never felt alone when I was around her. She made me feel worthy. She lived in a another pack just 2 hours away. I laid on the ground and thought about how I was going to convince Luca to not say anything or I could make him think he's crazy. "I like the first option better" Sliver said. "I bet you do" I said while laughing at her eagerness. I closed my eyes and thought about how I wish life was different. Growing up as a adopted child was okay. You have moments where you wished you could find balance. It's like a ongoing battle with not feeling like you belong in your family. It made it even harder for me that my twin sister made me feel like the dirt on the bottom of her shoe sometimes. She showed her feelings through anger . I didn't show mine. I knew it might not be safe to do that. People loved using your weakness and feelings against you. I would rather keep pushing through the pain I feel and keep a low profile. I had enough problems in my life. "We will find Luca later on and talk to him" I said to Sliver. She howled at me. I smiled and took deep breaths. I could still feel my anxiety running high. I took my book out and read as I waited to calm down. I looked down at my phone to see it was lunch time. Time flies I thought to myself. I gather my things and started to stand when I felt weak. I sat back down and drank some water I had. Even though I could talk to my wolf. I couldn't completely heal until I shifted. I suffered from a autoimmune disease which caused me a great deal of pain & fatigue 24/7 . It caused a lot things. Among other health issues. I couldn't wait to heal just a few more months then ill be 18 years old. I gathered enough strength to go back to school and grab lunch. I sat under my favorite tree and started eating. "Grace, can we talk?" Luca asked . I looked around and saw no one. "Sure" I said . "So you really have a wolf?" He asked . "Yes, I do" I whispered to him. "Don't worry I won't tell. When did you first feel your wolf?" He asked. I looked down and took a breath. "I don't know if I feel comfortable telling you" I said . He sighed and looked out to field. "Just tell him" Sliver said. "I was 16 years old" I said. "I've never heard of someone that young getting their wolf" He said . I looked and kept quiet. "I've heard of 17 year olds not 16" He said. "Please keep this quiet" I said. "I will and I'm going to train you to fight" He said . I stared at him. "I know how badly they treat you at your house" He said. "Ill be fine and I don't shift until I'm 18" I said . "We'll do hand to hand combat then" He said As he stood up. "See you at 6 near the river for your first lesson" He said and walked away. "Wait! I'm not sure about this" I said . He smirked and kept walking . "I guess we have our first training session today" I said to Sliver. "Yes! Now we can kick some butt" She said. I always knew I had strength but I choose peace. I always knew those who hurt me would pay eventually.
