ZANNICUS' POV:
I groaned waking up to the shrilling sound of my alarm.
'sweet fiddlesticks, I hate mornings.'
Flapping my arm around looking for the dang thing and finally shutting it up by throwing it into the drawer of my bedside table.
Groggily, I sat up, my hair looking like a bird's nest.
"its 5:40 am" (sighs)
I set my alarm for 5:20, why is it that I always wake up 20 minutes after?
'Ugh, whatever'
Stretching one last time, I drag myself out of my bed and made my way to my cramped bathroom. Glancing at my cracked mirror, I took the time to look at myself. I have a black eye and a busted lip that has yet to heal from last night events.
Some actually still hurts by the way.
Slowly taking my shirt off, I noticed that the bruises on my back, stomach and sides have healed but has faded into purpleish blobs.
All of this because I was late in serving the pack's dinner last night. I took off the rest of my clothes and stepped into the shower and did my morning routine. After that, I walked back to my room and changed into my usual white shirt and sweatpants.
After all, its the majority of what I have in my closet.
Quickly slipping them and with my hand, I combed through my hair. Taking one last look at my mirror, I nod approvingly.
"I look good enough."
Hey, I'm not lying, I'm not one of those skinny or malnourished omegas if that's what you're thinking. I actually have a nice body.
I have pale skin (which I hate with a passion cause it just makes everything completely visible) and I have muscles and a four-pack which I hide under my large shirts and I'm not small either.
My height is 5'11 and that's tall enough. Whenever I have time, I would do any
kinds of exercises here in my room since the pack wouldn't let me use the gym.And they would rather use me as their punching bag than those of we already have at the gym.
Glancing at the clock I noticed it was already 5:56.
"Oh shoot!!"
I ran upstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast. The whole pack wakes up at exactly 6:30, well, some of them. I quickly pulled out the ingredients and tools I need and started making bacon, eggs, toasts, waffles and the whole breakfast thingamajiggy.
After some time, I spared another glance at the clock.
'6:02?! I have to hurry if I don't want another beating for serving breakfast late.'
Just so you know, there are about 594 members in our pack. Yes, I know its a big number. Most of the pack members like warriors, their children, the beta, the Alpha and Luna and their son are here in the pack house.
The rest are outside with their own houses.
Just as I finished distributing equal portions of the food on the plates, I heard footsteps and glanced up to find Beta Seth walking in with one eye closed.
Bowing as I greeted him since he is one of the people I truly respect.
"Good morning Beta. Would you like some coffee? "
"Oh, good morning Zannicus and yes please."
I poured his coffee and placed it beside him, he gave me one of his small smiles as a thanks. I like him, he's always been kind to me. He and the Luna are the only ones - aside from my best friends -who treat me nice and who calls me by my name.
He tried to defend me most of the time but stops whenever Alpha Ronan- his best friend and one of my tormentors -gives him a look.
I don't even know how he became best friends with someone as kind and thoughtful as Seth.
Giving a small smile in return, I walked back to the kitchen to wash the equipments I used. I was scrubbing the pan when I heard another set of footsteps.
Or in this case, heels.
But I didn't need to look to know who it is, just by the nauseating, strong cologne of hers, you can smell it from a mile away.
'Jeez, you'd think she was bathing in it'
"Hey omega! Where are my eggs?"
'In you'
Axar snickered while I rolled my eyes.
"Coming Stacy."
Pouring her coffee, I placed it in front of her and internally blinked rapidly at her choice of clothes.
'Good gracious! It's too early in the morning and what she wears is fitting for a strip club. She's wearing a red croptop and a very short white skirt that doesn't even cover her ass.
But I'm not gonna lie she is beautiful though.'
She has dyed red hair that reaches up to her lower back and green eyes. But, she is a slut, the queen of them. Her recent boytoy is none other than the son of Alpha Ryder and Luna Eve himself.
Like she has slept with almost half of the pack. She said she doesn't even care about her mate, if she does find him.
'Unfaithful she-devil.'
I glanced at Beta Seth to find him making faces at Stacy while she was looking at me. I was doing my best to hold in my laughter when I heard her speak.
"Hey!! You weren't listening! I told you to call me Luna Stacy! And show some respect will you."
Arching an eyebrow,
"And why would I do that?"
"You little-"
"Watch the way you speak to her omega!!"
Startled, I looked up and saw him, Ronan. Still looking good even if he just woke up, and in case I haven't mentioned it yet, he's my mate.
Yes, I'm mated to my own bully- fantastic right?- (Note the sarcasm)
How do I know? I'm only 17. When you turn 18 that's the time you'll know who your destined mate is. Well, I'm not like the others, I shifted earlier than the rest- 9 years old to be exact -and normal Werewolves shift at 13.
I knew he was my mate when I turned 14. But I wasn't one of those people who looks at him with googly eyes and chasing him around like some lovesick puppy.
No.....The second his scent hit me, I hated it.
I snapped out of it when I heard the she-devil speak again in a very high-pitch tone that can break an eardrum.
"Hi baby!! Glad you're here. Can you teach this filthy omega a lesson? He hasn't shown respect to me since I got down and my head hurts."
'What?!'
I snapped my head towards her. And when she turned to me, she flinched because I was glaring at her.
'This little delusional bi-'
I snapped out of my inner cursing when something echoed in the room and my head was thrown to the other side, a burning sensation left in my face.
'He slapped me.'
I'm sure my lip was bleeding but I didn't feel the pain as I looked over to Stacy to find her smirking before turning to Ronan.
"You listen to me. Not only you disrespected her by not showing respect, you also had the audacity to glare at Her. How dare you, an omega look at his future Luna like that!"
By the time this was all going on the rest of the pack was watching and some were already sitting down with smirks on their faces.
'Oh how I wished to rip it off of their faces.'
Instead of bowing in submission, I stared back at him defiantly, and I didn't miss the flinches and the gasps of the pack when I did that. Even Ronan himself was surprised but quickly regained his composure and we continued our stare down.
Of course this wasn't the first time i did this, I've been doing this since we were both 13 which only resulted in more beating.
I can tell I was about to win as he kept blinking and gulping but I was pulled out oof it first but kept my gaze on him upon hearing his father- Alpha Ryder -speak in a loud, commanding voice that forced everyone to bow......Except me.
"Omega! How dare you stare back at your future alpha! Submit!"
Rolling my eyes- which was a mistake on my part -eliciting gasps from the pack members. I replied sneering.
"Never. He's not my Alpha nor will I ever treat him as such."
The members once again looked at me in disbelief including Alpha Ryder and Ronan. He was fuming and was about to speak again when Luna Eve came to my side and put her hand on my shoulder.
"Enough Ryder! You too Ronan! Zannicus darling, calm down sweetie."
Her voice instantly calmed me down as always. I backed down and finally broke eye contact with Ronan while cursing him to high heavens and turned to her.
"Yes Luna."
"Now all of you sit down and eat. I need to take care of him first."
"Mom?"
"Zip it! Now come on sweetie let me put something on that."
I would've stuck my tongue out at Ronan but decided against it. I don't want push dear Alpha's buttons.
She dragged me out of the kitchen leaving her mate, son and the pack members with open mouths and took me to their bedroom. She went to the bathroom and came out with a small towel and wiped the blood from my lip.
Then she put some ointment on it which stung but all the while she did this, I didn't wince as I've become accustomed to the pain.
When she was done, she put the towel and the ointment back in the bathroom. She came back out and sat beside me. This is why I like her and Beta Seth, they treat me nice. She's like a mother to me.
"I'm so sorry for all of that."
"No, you don't have to apologize for their behaviors, Luna. It's fine, I'm used to it."
Its true. I've faced far worse than that. Back then I was very fearful of them especially Alpha but I've grown and they barely scare me anymore.
"But still! I can't believe this is how they treat you, especially my mate and son. This is not how I raised him."
"No offense Luna, but your son? Is a complete ass! "
We both laughed at that.
"Yes, now that is where I agree. Why don't fight back? and don't say you can't! Because I see you train by yourself every night using the trees as punching bags. What did the trees ever do to you?"
My eyes widened at that.
"You saw?"
She nodded in response.
"Since when?"
"Since you were 14"
'Ah. The time I found out Ronan was my mate.'
"Well, I can't exactly fight back as it will only result In more beating, you know that Luna. And believe me when I say, I really do want to but I can't."
She sighs, looking at me with pity and then pulled me in for a hug. This is exactly what I needed. I closed my eyes, savouring the warmth she was giving me. She pulled back and gave me a soft smile.
"Hey omega! Where the hell are you?! Get your ass down here and clean up!"
Ronan- the son of a donkey with leprosy -shouted from downstairs.
And the moment's ruined as I pulled back and made an annoyed face and she laughed.
Cupping my cheeks, she kissed my forehead and gave me another soft smile. Returning hers with one of my own. I sighed standing up and exited their room.
RONAN'S POV:I opened my eyes only to close them again because of the light that peered through my window.'Ugh! Stupid sun!'I'm not exactly a morning person. Like, why would you ever want to wake up so early and leave the comfort of your bed?I definitely believe in those people that managed to wake up before their alarm blares their ears off.I was about to return to my slumber when I smelled bacon.'Hmm.'The omega must be done cooking. I gotta say, his food are the best, second after my mom of course, if I do say so myself.Of course, I would never tell him that or anyone. I hate the guy and I don't even know why. I bullied him since we were children because of what my dad said to me."He's filthy and an omega, not to mention he's gay and a low-rank wolf! So don't you dare try and befriend as he is beneath you and put him in his place whenever he speaks or does things out of turn." And that's what I did. My friends and I would beat him daily yet he always put up a fight and I gue
ZANNICUS' POV:After everything that happened this morning, I went back downstairs to find the room already empty.'Huh, they must have gone training then.'I was on my way o the living room to start cleaning after doing the dishes only to find Alpha Ryder standing in the middle.Gritting my teeth, I bowed slightly while clenching my fists to stop myself from hurling an ice spear at him. He was strangely quiet so I chanced a glance but I stepped back upon seeing him standing right in front of me.But in one swift movement, he grabbed me by the neck and hoisted me up. I couldn't breathe and I kept scratching at his hand to get him to release me but to no avail. I almost passed out when he finally decided to let go.I landed with a harsh thud while I coughed and gasped for air. I'm sure a new hand print will appear later on."If you ever display that kind of behavior ever again, I will throw you back in the cells and chain you with silver. Understood?! Well not that it would affect you
RONAN'S POV:I was training with one of the warriors outside. I dodged every kick and punch he threw at me.I barely exerted any energy while he was panting like he ran a five-mile marathon.Having enough fun, I lunged at him, caught his arm, pulling it over my shoulder and flipped him on his back causing him to groan out and me to smile cause I won.Every pack member who was practicing stopped to watch and then applauded when I won.Jogging up to my Beta- Seth. He smiled giving me a high-five."As expected of our future Alpha.""Thanks man."We were talking when we heard high pitched squeals and our names being called. I looked over to the other side of the field seeing a group of unmated she-wolves trying to get our attention.I faked a smile at them which caused them to giggle but turned back to Seth with an annoyed expression, one of which he laughed at."Ugh, I just wish I'd have a day's peace without any squealing or screaming or amy kind of disturbance at all.""Yeah, I agree wi
Eyes fluttered open, a bit disoriented.I tried getting up but the pain that shot through my body caused me to yelp then I remembered.'Dylan and his goons.'I groaned again and made another attempt to stand by holding onto the armrest of the couch which I succeeded. Upon glancing down, I noticed something dark red in color on the carpet and it felt dry.It was blood........my blood. Sighing, I limped all the way to my room. Taking a bit longer as I slowly climbed down the stairs putting extra care on my right ankle. 'I think one of them deliberately stepped on it.'Pushing the door open, I let it shut close as I trudged towards the bathroom.Making my way to my cracked mirror, I used the sink as leverage to balance myself before looking up.I growled in anger upon seeing what they had done.'They really did a number this time'I have bruises all over my face, a busted lip and a headache. I tried to take off my shirt, key word: tried.And after eight minutes.Finally I was able to re
ZANNICUS' POV:I woke up right before my alarm went off. I'd set it yesterday to 4:30 am because well, you know, its HIS birthday and I have a lot to do.The Luna has entrusted me with everything. Decorations, food and the like. I stood up as I stretched but winced a little. I raised my shirt to see some of my bruises began to fade but the ones on my side are still fresh and black.I padded over to the bathroom and did my morning routine.I was busy rubbing a towel on my wet hair when a knock echoed in my room.Hanging the towel on my shoulder and raising my nose sensing Seth standing outside my door.A smile graced my lips upon seeing him in his workout clothes.'Looks like he's about to go jogging' Looking up, he greeted me with another one of his sweet smiles."Hey, Good morning Zannicus.""Good morning to you too Beta."I replied back. And he suddenly pouted."Aww, c'mon Zannicus, just call me Seth when we're alone. "He replied back while chuckling softly. Shaking my head a littl
RONAN'S POV:Groaning and mentally cursingat my wolf as I woke up for the fifth time as he couldn't stop whining and whimpering about something. I tried to get some more sleep but its no use.With a frustrated groan, I sat up and reached for my phone to look at the time,'3:58?! Are you serious?!'Great, I only slept for 3 hours. (Sighs) might as well go for a run. Swinging my legs over my bed, I stood and stretched and dragged my feet towards my bathroom and did my business.After brushing my teeth and splashing water in my face, I dried myself off and went back to my bedroom and then I changed into black short and white shirt. After tying the lace of my black Nike shoes.I opened the door of my room and peeked my head out and looked left and right then carefully and quietly as I could, I closed it and tiptoed down the stairs.While walking through the living room, a faint smell of blood invaded my senses.With furrowed eyebrows, Ronan searched for the source of the smell only to e
RONAN'S POV:I have no idea how long I've been running, but when I got back to the packhouse the sun was already setting.'I know, I spent the whole day in the woods.'Well, after running for a couple hours after the thing with Seth, I went to a river and rested there for a while. Guess I fell asleep. I ran behind a tree and changed into the clothes that were left there.I walked towards the packhouse and noticed that there was almost no one here, well aside from the pack members that were training in the other side of the house and the omegas in the living room and in the kitchen.But the houses around me were all lit up."Hello Alpha."The omegas greeted and I gave a simple nod. I walked inside heading towards the stairs when I remembered something. I walked back to the living room and found that there was no more blood on the carpet, it has been already cleaned.'That's good. I wonder how he is? Wait.... What the...(sighs)."Releasing a frustrated sigh, I headed back to the stairs

But he wasn't finished yet."I can't believe the Moon Goddess paired me up with someone like you. I would never have you as my mate, someone who couldn't even protect himself.Much less protect a pack. You're NOTHING."He spat at me while I remained unfazed by his words and I guess my silence started to irritate him."Speak omega! Or have you lost your tongue?"Ronan smirked. Zannicus smacked his lips and sighed as he placed the glass full of punch down followed by the ladle."Finally."Zannicus muttered but Ronan still heard it as he furrowed his eyebrows."What do you mean finally?"Zannicus smirked before he brought his gaze up. Tilting his chin."I, Zannicus Zer Zor-ester, ACCEPT your rejection as your mate and Luna of this pack."Power lace
