Alpha Aspen's Omega Luna

It was a new day, a special day for me. I stared at my reflection with an excited grin. Gray eyes and rosy red lips stared back at me, my long red curls finally tamed and pulled up into an elegant bun. My mother always warned me not to let my beauty get to my head, she stopped at nothing to remind me of how my beauty would never matter because of our low status. I’ve grown to hate my reflection and love it at the same time, conflicting emotions that sometimes brought tears to my eyes but, not today! Today was going to be different! It was the day I would get my wolf. My 20th birthday and also the day I would find my true mate in the pack. Something almost the whole pack looked forward to. Everyone wanted to know who would have the misfortune of becoming the mate of the only daughter the Wilsons had, the poorest omegas in the pack. Despite all that, no one was more excited about the day than I was, my hopes of finally leaving her father's home and the clutches of my exploiting and

“That fucking bastard!” Enzo, my best friend, cursed with a growl as he heard my words. I was on my bed, my face buried in the strawberry scented pillows that had been a birthday gift from my best friend Enzo. My elegant bun had come loose and my hair had splayed over the pillows. Enzo sat by my bedside, no doubt seething from what I had just told him even though I couldn’t see his face. He had come over the second I had called him, I was a sobbing mess and I could barely string together a proper sentence. “That bastard rejected you?” Enzo seethed, “In public?!” He added through gritted teeth. I wished I could hold back my tears but the more it kept replaying in my head, the wetter my pillows got and my shoulders trembled from my sobs. The second I had accepted Luke's rejection, I had left the pastry shop and didn’t turn back…still feeling like I was in a dream, hoping that I would wake up at any given moment but deep down I knew I wa wrong and I’d wasted five whole years of my li

3 years later. I stared down at the papers in my hands long and hard, my bottom lip trembling, mirroring the actions of my hands that clenched the test results. “I’m really sorry about this, Andrea, we've been trying our best to keep him from going into a coma but it’s getting harder and his health is deteriorating further,” The grey haired doctor said, he looked at me with a sympathetic gaze and reached out to hold my hand in his comfortingly. I pulled away before his skin could touch mine and forced out an awkward smile as I took a step back from the doctor and loosened my hold on the papers. Last thing I wanted was anyone's pity, most especially from a man who already looked down on my because I was an omega. “What…is that the only way?” I asked cautiously, I knew the answer to my question but I couldn’t help myself. I fervently wished there would be another way, I hoped there would be another solution. “Yes,” Dr. Martin nodded, his eyes still rested on my hand that I had move

For the first time in two years, I was standing right in front of him, the both of them actually. These two men changed the course of my life three years ago and I’d sworn the day Cole was born that there would never be a reason for me to stand in this position. Begging. Pleading. I had to put my pride aside for my son but how much was it going to cost me? I feared it would be more than I could afford and more than I bargained for. A part of me began to regret saying no to Enzo when he had offered to come along for support but I had declined, not wanting to stretch him too thin after all he’d done for me in the past few months. Now I was all alone in the lion’s den with false confidence as I met those striking blue eyes of his. “He's mine?” Aspen asked again, this time with a dangerous drop in his deep voice as the look in his eyes slowly morphed into what seemed to be rage. My breath words caught up in my tightened throat and I pursed my lips, staring down at my feet, cheeks he

The past three years, away from my pack and my parents have been the best years of my life, I enrolled in a part-time college while I did some freelancing jobs that enabled me to stay home with my son on the days I had no classes, when I wasn’t available, Enzo would be there. For three years, every decision I’ve made and every action I’ve taken was to escape my past, I planned to travel overseas, to where only humans reside, where they wouldn’t take one look at me, smell an omega, and scrunch up their faces with disgust. I hoped to find a place in the woods, far from civilization where I would be able to connect to my wolf more, to finally feel that connection I’ve never felt since the day Luke rejected me—For the past three years, I’ve been like a plastic bag floating in the wind just so I can achieve every goal, my head was always down and my answers were always yes, just so I could get past it all, just so my son will have a chance at a life that I never did. Then Cole fell sick
