From day one, my life was nothing but a string of bad luck. I was born an Omega while my parents were the Betas of the pack. My birth nearly killed my mother so I was unloved immediately. I was the smallest and weakest pup as well. Honestly, I'm surprised I survived since my parents hate me so much. I've been neglected all my life. Always pushed aside for the beautiful, perfect, and well-loved Dahlia. Who would love a useless and plain daisy when they could have a beautiful and sweet dahlia? My twin sister is a strong and skillful wolf who shifted at the same pace as the previous Alpha's son at merely the age of eight. She looks like a part of our family with long honey-blonde, bright blue eyes, and nice sun-kissed skin. She always excels in hunting, and fighting, and everyone adores her. She is who everyone assumes will be our next Luna. Compared to her, I don't fit in at all. With my gray-white hair, dull purple eyes, and pale as a sheet skin, I'm nothing but plain and ugly. I can't stand being in the sun too long because I burn easily and it just hurts my eyes. I don't excel in anything other than cooking and cleaning too. I'm the lowest of the low and the joke of the whole pack. Even I'm aware of this and can only bite my tongue and bear it. Because of my rank, I'm everyone's punching bag, both literally and figuratively. I'm bullied without any mercy and even if I'm sick, I still have to work or I'll be punished. It wasn't always this way. Before the Alpha's son took over, I was treated better. The former Alpha and Luna were kind and never tolerated bullying on their watch. However, now it's just so much worse because we have a new alpha now: Tristian Parker. He's our new Alpha and also happens to be Dahlia's boyfriend. He is very handsome with dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and tanned skin rippling with muscles. I used to have a crush on him but it's faded into the background. He hates weakness more than anything which means he despises me. He doesn't strike me down himself. That's beneath him or rather that's what I assume. He's seen others beat me but does nothing but watch until they're finished. While I pick myself up, he finally speaks and it's always the same thing. "Heh... Daisy, the useless Omega. Disgusting and weak as always. Maybe if you weren't so pathetic, I'd stop them." He then always leaves me while I just sit there. I've heard it so many times now that it doesn't bother me much anymore. It still hurts that even my own Alpha won't even help me. In a way, he's worse than the bullies. I've learned to expect nothing from him and just endure. Lick and tend my wounds until the day I can finally leave this pack. I only cling to one hope: my mate. In just a few days, I'll turn eighteen and with any luck, not only find my mate but also meet my wolf. I haven't been able to shift or hear her voice so I hope when I'm finally an adult, I can have those joys in life. What do I want in a mate? He doesn't have to be powerful or high-ranking. All I want from my mate is his love and acceptance of me. I may be Daisy the Useless Omega, but no I deserve love too! Don't I? It's the one thing that keeps me going. My longing for my mate and the acceptance and freedom from it. I hope it's a wolf from another pack so I can leave the Moonlight pack. That way I won't ever have to be compared to my perfect twin sister. Dahlia used to be kind to me growing up. She was my only friend and my other half. However, she started to show her true colors after she shifted for the first time. Everyone saw her as special and amazing, but I was there to bring her down. Now Dahlia is my biggest bully. She won't get her hands dirty often and has the other pack members hit me, pour cold water all over me, and lock me in the basement. Everyone treats her as the future Luna already. If she isn't Tristian's mate, then I'm sure they'll be each other's chosen mates. Tristian is already twenty-one but hasn't found his mate yet either. He can't take Dahlia as his chosen mate until she's eighteen so everyone waits while holding their breaths. Because they're both so mean anyway, I think they suit each other well. I hope they don't bring down the pack though. "Daisy! Stop spacing out and finish up!" I jump getting pulled out of my thoughts. A fellow Omega and my best friend, Samuel, watches me in concern. "Be careful... if anyone sees you like that, they'll punish you." He murmurs and starts to help me out. Samuel is like a little brother to me. He's sixteen and has orange hair, green eyes, and so many freckles. He's a sweet boy and someone I can lean on when things get way too hard. "I'm sorry, Sammy. I'm just thinking of what might happen three days from now." I say and start to fold clothes again. Samuel smiles gently. "I'm sure you are... I hope that you'll find happiness. You do deserve it, Day. After everything you've gone through, you need a loving mate. He's the only person who knows about my desires. As I hang up a pretty dress, I long or wear something nice like this. All I ever have to wear is a pair of sweatpants and a baggy hoodie. "Thank you," I murmur and continue to fold and hang up clothes with Samuel. It's just then that I hear a door swing open and hear some footsteps. "Where are you, bitch?!" I freeze at that voice. What does Dahlia want from me this time?A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE (A Contract Marriage) EPISODE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN THEME: EPILOGUE CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA A YEAR LATER "I can't believe I get to be the first person to cook for your guest and be your head chef right here too!"
