Intro

{ Clara }

[ 17 years old ]

I'm not someone special.

My life isn't that interesting and I've never had any kind of adventures or anything like that... until he came into my life.

Daniel Griffin.

A tall, dark haired, blue eyed extremely handsome guy. He was always tall and strong, an obvious alpha even before he presented, but once he did, he became my most intense desire.

He's a year older than me and he’s in senior year like Lucinda, so there's not much reason for him to spend time with me. The only occasion when I can see him is when my sister Lucinda is going to hang out with him and I convince her to take me with them. In those cases, Daniel is always sweet and nice to me. He always makes sure I don't feel left out.

Most guys our age are gigantic rude jerks who only think about fücking, especially new alphas, they are unbearable, but Daniel is not. He’s always polite and respectful, he doesn’t even swear in the presence of omegas or kids younger than him.

Daniel had a girlfriend for a while a year ago and I hated her so much... but as soon as they presented her as a beta and him as an alpha, they broke up. And now I'm just anxiously awaiting my own presentation.

I really want to be an omega, but I'm pretty sure I'll be a beta. Unimportant and nothing special... that sounds a bit like me.

Carolina is an omega. She’s so incredibly beautiful that sometimes I want to punch her in her perfect little face, except for the times when we're walking together and someone comments about how much we look alike.

Rosie, my younger sister is so feminine and her body is so soft that even though she is barely 14 I know she will be omega. And my littlest sister Olivia is 13, so I don’t really know what she’s going to be and who cares? She’s just a baby. But she’s very pretty, so maybe she’ll be a future omega as well.

That means I will be the only beta and bring shame to the family. I know I will.

My dad says betas are special in their own way, he says they are blessed too and have their own purpose, but I know he only says things like that because he knows I will be a beta and he’s mentally preparing me for my presentation.

And the truth is, I'm almost completely ready to be a beta... except for when I look at Daniel and fantasize about being an omega and being his compatible mate. It’s a distant dream and not very possible, but it is there anyway.

And I can't help it because he's so handsome that I just want to grab him and climb up to his stro...

"Clara, what the hell are you doing, watching those boys like a pervert?" Lucinda asks, startling me and grabbing my arm to pull me up from the bench I was sitting on, "It's time to go home, Carolina is going out with her friends today."

I follow my alpha sister around the school and have to stand next to her as every omega in sight tries to talk to her and makes eyes at her. It's so annoying. Lucinda is mostly a jerk like any other alpha, except she's even worse because female alphas are very rare and they know about their designation from birth. And because of that, omegas find her irresistible.

Once we get out, we met Rosie and Olivia waiting for us at the gates and we all walk to Lucinda's car together. 

"Clara was being a pervert," Lucinda starts conversation, making me roll my eyes, "She was watching the older boys, drooling like a dog."

"Shut up," I complain and try to hit her but she takes my blows like they're nothing, "So what if I was watching them? I like boys, mostly. And I know you do too."

"Not really," Lucinda replies with a grimace. "I only find omegas attractive these days. So, just girls... so far."

"I like girls too," Rosie blurts out from behind, "How about you, Oli?"

"I like... boys, I guess." She answers. That surprises me a little, but then I guess I was also starting to like boys at that age, right? Who knows.

The conversation ends when we get home. My mom is sitting on the couch talking on the phone.

She's an omega.

Short, beautiful, graceful, perfect... even when she's nagging us about something.

I've been seriously obsessed with designations ever since Daniel became an alpha. I wait for my birthday like it's my sentencing day.

And it is. If I'm right and I'm a beta, I'll get on the floor and cry. But if I'm an omega, I'll be the happiest girl in the world.

Because that means I have a chance with Daniel.

➿➿➿➿➿

My birthday is tomorrow, but I'm already starting to feel weird today. There’s already a change in me but I can't really identify what it is.

Today at school, people turn to look at me more than usual. They stare at me like they know something I don't, even my friends. But when I ask them what the hell is going on, they just say I look different in a good way.

I spend the rest of the day holed up at home and then at night, I go into my parents' room to wait for midnight to come. I’m so tense and nervous that I can't even sit still, so I stand in front of them walking back and forth while they watch me, waiting for my sentence.

Please, Mother Nature, I know I'm an omega inside, don't let me be a beta. Don't, please.

I'm not looking at the clock but I still notice when it's midnight because my parents both react as they take breaths to catch my new scent.

My mother covers her mouth but I can't realize what that means. And then my dad lets out a big smile and gets out of bed.

That could mean anything. I know he'll say something to make me feel better even if I suddenly grew a penis and it turns out I'm an alpha after all. That would be absolutely horrifying, but my dad would find a way to make me feel good about it.

"I knew it," he blurts out as he approaches me with love written all over his rough features. I’m literally shaking, "My beautiful, precious, most delicate flower... you are an omega."
