I Won't Bow

"In Fangs Hollow there are eight types of ranks. Alpha is the leader of the pack, he look after every single one of the packmembers and make sure the pack is safe and strong. No one in the pack can be stronger than him. Luna is the strongest female in the pack, she's fated to the alpha and act as a mother for the whole pack. Her mission is to give birth to at least one pup and support everyone in the pack with her strength, this mustn't necessarily be physical strength in all cases, she can be very strong in other ways as well, she just need to be the strongest in that. Beta is the second strongest male, he's like the right hand soldier to the alpha. He does what the Alpha don't need to do personally. Beta is also the one to protect the alpha family and support them. He's like their bodyguard/assistant. Gamma is the third strongest male. He is the general of the warriors and take care of the security of the pack, on the alpha's orders of course. Delta are usually warriors of the pack, they can either be female or male and make up like 60% of the pack. In other words, they aren't as strong as Alpha or beta, they act like soldiers on command and does whatever they're told. A delta can become gamma if he fight for the position. Epsilon are mated to the beta or gamma. They are usually stronger female wolves. They exist solely to give birth to stronger pups to the pack and have more pups than other wolves to make sure the pack stay strong for generations to come. Zeta are average wolves, they aren't stronger than others physically so they learn and work as pack doctors or teachers. Pups and omegas are equal... just that pups grow up and get a rank... Omegas... well why do they exist? oh right... so the other wolves have something to protect... Because Omegas are useless wolves with no power or meaning what so ever. They just increase the number in a pack and can't do much. Words as weak or fragile can't even begin to describe them. If they weren't in a pack they would die because they can't do anything. If you are ranked as an omega just do everyone a favor and..." "AMBER LOUISE COLLINS!" I jump at the angry voice that belong to my teacher. "What are you doing?!!" "My speech...?" "That is not what I asked you to do!" I tilt my head and raised an eyebrow. "But... you told me to teach the younger pups about ranks from my point of view..." Her face turned crimson. "Go to the office now!" I bowed and walked to the principal's office whom already expected me. "Amber Lou... here you are again I see..." He didn't even bother to look at me. "Yes Mr. principal. I want to send in a complaint about one of your teachers..." By that he sighed and looked up at me with his tired grey eyes. Maybe once upon a time he was handsome but now he just looked tired, must be because he was a boring Zeta. "Amber you do know that Mrs Densson already informed me about the situation." I smirked. "Well that was clever of her, I didn't know she would think that far" He frowned. "You should respect your teachers girl, who knows, one day you might be in her position" Now I was the one frowning. "I would rather die, besides! I do respect the teachers, it's just that Mrs, Dee tell me to have a speech then interupt me and send me here before I've even finished! I did nothing but my homework!" He shook his head and for some reason he looked slightly more tired. "Amber Lou... Mrs. Densson asked you to teach the pups in first grade about rankings from a young omegas point of view, not from some..." "That's what I did!" I sighed. "All I said is true though!" "Didn't you say that omegas are weak and pointless?" "No! useless, also weak and fragile can't even begin to describe them but that's exactly what I think! Everyone know omegas are the packs trash!" "You do know that the pups you talked to was omega and Zeta born right?" I nod. "That's why I need to finish my speech." "What was the ending of your speech?" "If you are ranked as an omega then do everyone a favor and..." "Kill yourself" I swung around to see the queen of bitches. "Jenny..." I almost spit out her name. "Amber hello! didn't see you there. I only see people worthy of talking to me, you know? people of higher rank." I glared at her then turned to the principal again. "And get stronger because just cause you are born weak doesn't mean you have to live that way, you can change the title of omega from weak to strong." Jenny laughed out loud. My decision on ignoring her became difficult. "I'd stick with my version." That i***t was always on my nerves, I wasn't the violent type but I did my best not to kill her right then and there. "Why are you here?" I said through gritted teeth. "Oh right sorry your lame speech distracted me, Mr. Petersen, the gamma, my father, wants to see you!" Immediately he got up and took his briefcase. "Amber Lou! You are free to go but next time do as your teachers tell you" He left before I could argue. Now it was just me and Jenny... She smirked at me with her ugly painted lips. "So when are you?" "What?" "Gonna kill yourself. I mean if I would be ranked as Omega I would kill myself." I smirked back. "I have no problem with being an omega Jenny, even with a rank such as Omega I am still able to beat you" Now her smirk turned into a glare. "You know... that was ten years ago and I have you know that I let you win that time!" I passed her and chuckled. "Keep telling yourself that." I heard her frustrated scream but didn't stop to let her rant. She was one of the gammas children. Actually, she was the youngest one and unfortunately that made her attend school with me, even though she was two years older she was in my class because she's stupid. Jenny have four older siblings, James, Jonah, Jimmy and Justin. In all actuality they weren't that bad, I liked the gammas children and the gamma, but Jenny? I don't know why but she's always hated me and since she's rude to me, I hate her just as much back. The beta family is kind too, they have two twin daughters and one son. Cornelia, Camelia and Christopher. Cornelia and Camelia are 25 while Christopher is 22. Neither of them have found their mates yet though... just like our soon to be alpha. Our alpha is still alpha because he want to be, his son hasn't found his mate yet and he isn't ready to take care of the whole pack without a luna. When the day comes for him to take his place as Alpha, his father is either dead or have stepped down. It's tradition that the alpha hand it down to his child, but anytime a packmember can challenge the alpha and take his place if he manage to kill the alpha. Our alpha is a good and strong alpha so no one has challenged him ever. The gamma position was won by Jenny's father because he challenged the previous gamma, he won and the previous gamma is dead. His mate died with him and their children live as deltas now. I don't like that very much... It's not that our present gamma did anything wrong with challenging the previous because he was stronger and the previous gamma was a little scary and mean to us omegas but I don't like the fact that he had to challenge him for the position. The ranking suck. I have no problem with the whole one to rule them all s**t as in there's only one alpha, what I do have problem with is every damn unspoken rule. Just because someone is born alpha they have to be strong or just cause you are Luna you need to be gentle and motherly. The ranking always tell us what we are. But it's not right! Just because a delta is a delta doesn't mean they will be a warrior or strong! A delta is strong just because they say they are, they train every day and become strong. Omegas aren't even at training! They are doing the dishes or cleaning or cooking the food. Because in everyones eyes they are trash. "Sweetie! just in time for food!" As I said... they are trash. "Hi mom... did you cook again?" My mother was once a beautiful blonde with big brown eyes. Now she was thin almost too thin because she always let the pack eat first and only took the leftovers which was never much. Her big warm brown eyes was dull and greyish now. She was omega of course... a lowly omega who was weak in everyones eyes. "Will you eat with me today mom?" "Oh no sweetie, you know it's best if the more important people eat first, I'll see what's left over and eat that" I sighed... "You know... you are allowed to fill your stomach... you'll get sick again if you don't eat" Her eyes flickered before she gave me a big smile "Oh you silly goose! If me getting sick make sure that everyone else is fine I'm alright with that!" Even in her own eyes she was worthless. I went to the dining hall and my mood went sour at the sight. Every stupid delta ate at their hearts content. They took more helpings than they needed while my mom starved herself just because she was born omega and omegas should be submissive and weak. My father was also omega, he was killed by rogues when I was five. He protected me and killed the wolf but he died. Usually when a mate dies the other living mate will die too, but not my mom. She was sick a long time but survived because according to the doctors an omegas matebond isn't as strong so it won't matter if the other mate die. That was bullshit! My mom was not living ever since that day, she starved herself and was nothing like the glowing mother I was used to. She was loved by my dad and he was loved by her just as any other ranked mate. Everyone whispered about her, that she might get a second mate because her other matebond was so weak, every time I heard that I wanted to scream. I will show them one day that just because we are omegas we aren't weak! My father wasn't weak when he sacrificed himself for me! My mothers love isn't weak because she's still alive. Their love for me was so strong, stronger than anything else and I will show them that. I grabbed a plate and filled it with mashed potato, beef and salad. I scooped up at least two meals on the plate, more than I could ever eat. "Woah there! Leave something for me" I turned around sharp and glared at the person behind me. Only to stand face to face with our alpha's son. "Hello Amber Lou!" I didn't look down when I answered with a short nod. "Alex."
