Elsie Sander lived without a father, and she was an omega. The worst part is that her mother has constantly mistreated her. So does everyone in the pack. Until one day, a new alpha showed up with his son. Her life, which she thought was improving, got even worse. The Alpha-to-be often did things that made Elsie hate him. But how could the man who bullied her be her mate? Would Elsie accept that? Or was this the beginning of something worse?
View More"Can you stop this mom’s habit?" I looked at my mom in disgust. What she was doing was making me tired.
I saw all kinds of liquor bottles on the table right next to where she lay her head. I saw her semi-conscious and moaning, looking at me. "Don't set me up!" Se looked at me sharply. "If I want to drink, that's my business. You have no right to tell me what I want and don't want to do." She slapped her hand on the wooden table slowly and powerlessly.I sighed at the pitiful sight of my mother, which continued to happen almost every night. I couldn't remember exactly when her habit started, but it was clear that this kind of situation had been going on for a long time.I picked up the other scattered bottles, placing them in a box to keep them safe. The last time, it was because of a bottle that had fallen and broken. My mother's foot had been injured by stepping on a piece of glass without realising it, and I was in trouble for it. When my mother is conscious, it's hard enough for me to handle her, and when she's unconscious, it's even harder. "I'm just worried about how she's doing if she drinks every night. People will talk weirdly about you." And not just about mom, but definitely about me, too. They'll talk worse about me than they do about Mom.I gasped. She suddenly threw a nearby glass bottle at me. I held my shoulders. This wasn't the first time. This kind of situation has happened many times. My body had been bruised several times by her throw, so I wasn't hurt. But still, I couldn't help but flinch when she threw something at me."You stop that shit, damn it!" She cursed, as was her habit. I looked at her timidly. For a drunk person, her throw was entirely accurate, as it seemed she wasn't aiming for my head to inflict serious injury. "What are you listening to people say about me for?" She woke up her body that was leaning on the table. "Just let them say what they want. Why would I bother with that kind of thing? What does that matter?" She gave me an angry look.Maybe she didn't think it was necessary, but to me, it was more than important. I was so affected by what people said because all that talk pressured me. "I just don't want them to talk nonsense about you. And your health is important too." I squeezed the hem of my shirt tightly. "I just hope you can live a healthier life and not drink anymore." My position doesn't change publicly just because my mother's habits change. I know that, but I hope she lives well, not in this way."Shut up!" She threw another bottle at me, but this time, I managed to dodge it. "What does a kid like you know? Asshole, you want to lecture me on how I should live? Who do you think you are, huh?" Her upper body swayed, trying to balance as she yelled at me. "Get lost! I don't want to see you, damn it!" She pointed another glass bottle at me."I don't mean to teach you. I wish you'd stop your habits." I wish I could be calm at home, but mom's habits like that don't make me calm.After I spoke like that, Mom walked towards me staggeringly and approached me with her hand raised. I thought she wanted to grab me, so I quickly dodged."You're avoiding me?" She said, losing her balance and leaning against the small table behind me."I have to go to college." I pushed my body away from her and walked away from him."Look at this damn kid, instead of helping me first, you're leaving, huh?" I could hear her screaming. "Hey Elsie!....Elsie!" Even when I reached the front fence, I could still hear her voice.I left for college as usual, waited at the bus stop and arrived at the school bus stop. I then walked for a while towards the campus grounds and finally arrived. As I started walking in the corridor, I heard their faint whispers. Then I could feel their gazes glancing in my direction, but some were being blatant."Look at that sucker coming." Someone I didn't recognise pointed at me and spoke like he recognised me."If I were him, it might be better to disappear than to survive with such a lowly and humiliating status." The laughter of the other children rang out.I ignored it. What I meant by unreasonable actions was this. They hate and dislike me just because I'm an omega and I don't have a father. To them, my situation is worthy of reproach and contempt.I saw Delta Liam and Dona walking behind me when I looked over earlier. They are the greatest people I know. We were friends when we were young, but when we became teenagers and the wolf in them rose, the distance between us grew. Those people seemed to be getting better, while I seemed alienated."Elsie, have you done what I asked you to do last night?" Delta Liam stopped his steps near me. He was walking together with Donna, and both of them seemed reluctant to address me in such a crowded place that those who had been walking behind me waited until the corridor was quiet before speaking.I opened my bag and handed him a book. "I'm not sure I can work on it next time since we're in the same class and every time Delta Liam gets an assignment. I got my assignment, but I'm worried I won't be able to focus on it because the time is limited." I explained with good intentions, not because I didn't want to help him. But she gave me an annoyed look."I'm just asking you to do it, and you're talking at length because you object? If you don't want to do it, just say so clearly. Don't go around making excuses. How annoying!" He glanced at Donna beside him, who also looked scornfully at me.Donna averted her eyes. "Just leave her alone. No wonder he's ostracised. His attitude is annoying." Donna then tugged Liam's arm to get him out of there, leaving me behind. "You look pathetic and annoying."I looked at them sadly. They used to be my friends, but ever since I was ostracised, they stayed away from me. Their attitude also started to report me, and because Liam was a Delta, he put his position higher than me. Liam put our relationship on a hierarchy, getting treated like that from your friend. Of course, it was impossible not to hurt and hurt feelings.I survived by not putting up a fight with the others because I was just an omega. Plus, since I was five years old, I lost my father figure. Some say that my father died, while others say that he ran away. I don't know which one is true I don't know, but certainly, his existence has no effect whatsoever on me, who can't even remember him. I don't care about him. I'm tired of the family relationship I have. "Alright, I can get through it!" I said quietly to myself encouragingly. My only wish is to graduate from this college immediately and leave here because no one accepts my existence here.I headed to class, and the seat I was sitting in was at the back. Even though I had sat in the back row so that no one would notice, people were still looking at me. "I'm getting tired of seeing her. Why does she provoke people's emotions so much, huh?" They spoke as if I couldn't hear them, then looked at me with scornful gazes."I don't know. She's instinctively annoying. So it's no wonder people get annoyed when they see her." The woman laughed while giving me a dismissive look. I tried not to pay attention to them and tried to ignore what they were saying.I'm tired of this unhealthy study environment, but what can I do? Other than enduring, I had no other choice. I started to tidy up my seat and took out the books I had brought when the lecturer came in.Many discussions I didn't understand before were now explained. I paid attention and listened well until the class finally ended."Hey, make sure your hand doesn't touch my book!" The man beside me pointed at his book near my desk while I was cleaning up my book and putting it into my bag. I glanced at him silently while he gave me a sharp look. "I don't want my book to get dirty because of your touch." She then took the book and left the classroom. I could only sigh at their overreaction to me. Those who didn't want to get into trouble with me avoided me like I was a disgusting virus, while some others bothered me openly."Ah, seriously," I complained softly after the man left, then followed him out of the classroom. Right in front of the class, I saw a group of women sitting with enthusiastic faces, and I was a little curious at the looks that I hoped someday I could be that enthusiastic about something."You know, I heard that new students will transfer to this campus." I glanced at them.The blonde woman held her forehead. "Ah, I heard that he's the son of an alpha, and it's rumoured that he'll be the next alpha." The other kid added.I glanced at them for a moment as I adjusted the position of my bag while continuing to walk in the corridor. I didn't intend to listen, but they were talking loudly enough that it was hard not to listen, although I was curious, not about what they were talking about but about what made them look so happy."To add to the excitement, she says he's very handsome." Her voice sounded enthusiastic."Wow, I can't wait to meet him." the brunette woman responded.I averted my eyes from them. Their conversation was unimportant, so I kept walking towards the bus stop. I waited at the bus stop while listening to music. I listened to more than three songs until the bus finally arrived. There weren't many college kids on the bus, so I didn't have to get on the bus in a hurry. I sat in the middle row, right by the window.Fifteen minutes later, I arrived home, just as I opened the door. I found something unusual. "Didn't I see something wrong? What's going on?"I was shocked to see the house so clean and tidy. The house's appearance was unprecedented, very different from when I was about to leave for college this morning. Usually, mom would make the mess worse when drunk instead of cleaning it up like now.I vividly remember that the house still hadn't been cleaned up, and other than me, there was no one else to clean up the place. "What's wrong with mom? Why is she suddenly cleaning up? Is it because of what I said last night?"I looked around the room in surprise but couldn't find mom there. "Thank goodness she didn't tire me out again." I smiled, left downstairs, and headed to my room for a quick nap.I had fallen asleep in the room upstairs, but this time, I woke up to a noise coming from downstairs. Spontaneously, I got up from bed, remembering that Mom wasn't home earlier. I was worried that a stranger would come in to steal, knowing that only me and mom lived in this house together.But when I looked down, I saw mom standing in neat clothes. She looked different. Her face also looked excited. She looked cheerful. I immediately went downstairs to approach her. "Mom, what happened?" I asked as I stood near her.When I noticed she had just returned from somewhere dressed up like that, I could tell she would meet someone necessary. Surprisingly, she seemed so happy. She glanced at me. "I'm getting married." Her short reply made my eyes widen to look at her.I stared in surprise before digesting her words. "Getting married?" I said, surprised at her words.Elsie's PovI stared at the man fiercely. No...no, Atlas can't think that this is his son. I don't want that man to feel that way. No matter how much I don't want to trust him anymore, I will stick to my previous decision.I shook my head, pushing him back from in front of me. "No, it's not. You already know that this is Seth's child!" I denied it loudly, but Atlas didn't believe my words.He shook his head sluggishly. "I'm sure you're telling a lie. The baby in your womb, he responded to me." Atlas fixed his eyes on my stomach, making me grab it and cover it from him. "He became calmer when I got closer to him, and your condition improved. It's like he's talking to me through the bond. I feel it!" Atlas exclaimed, coming closer to me with his gaze fixed firmly on me, not letting me escape him.I tried to break away from him, pushing him away, but my efforts were in vain. "What are you thinking? Just because this baby is calmer, you think he's yours?" I tried to turn the tables by say
Atlas PovSo he was the one who gave the wolf bane to Donna? But he probably didn't know anything. It could be that, just like Donan, prof Awkson was perhaps the one being used.However, finding Awkson to be the one involved seemed to further narrow down the people who were also involved."So my suspicions were well-founded, suspecting Seth was the right thing to do," I muttered seriously, keeping watch all night in that place.Now I'm just waiting for the right moment to go inside and meet with Elsie. But damn, Seth hadn't moved from his spot in days.He remained in the house, and that made me very upset. "This isn't normal. How could he be home for so many days? Does she have absolutely nothing else to do? There's no way an unemployed person like that would agree to be responsible for someone, let alone a baby. He must have some other identity he's hiding so money isn't a problem for him."My suspicions grew daily, and I became increasingly reluctant to leave, leaving Elsie, who cou
Atlas' POVI sighed heavily, pulling my car door open, then getting inside and slamming it shut. Again, even after being inside and watching them from a distance, I still felt annoyed.I was annoyed by various things. So far, I felt like I was being played and tortured at the same time. My feelings became so chaotic when I saw Elsie holding her stomach pain in the hospital. I followed her from behind and was full of anxiety. I was angry because even though I saw her, I couldn't do anything. I could only follow her from behind, hoping that she was okay.I closed my eyes while exhaling a heavy breath that pressed against my chest with an unrelenting weight. "Why do I have to experience such a horrible thing?" I covered my face with my palms and rubbed them back. Of the many difficult things I've experienced in my lifetime, this was the first time I felt so helpless.I didn't understand why, among millions of people, I had to be chosen to undergo this kind of fate. Why did I get bad luck
Elsie's PovI looked out with a carefree feeling. What was previously weighing on my heart and mind seemed to be lifted thanks to my gaze being distracted by what passed before my eyes. As Seth's car passed by, I saw many things.The sight of the bustling city and the many large buildings built along the way comforted my eyes and quieted my mind. I had been thinking about many things for a while, and the noise in my head suddenly disappeared, becoming quieter as I watched my surroundings bustling with people."Is it this crowded, Seth? I don't recall it being the weekend." I turned my head towards Seth, who was also looking out the window.From the crowded place, I wondered what they were doing, where they were going, and what they felt as they walked down the street in the middle of the crowd, mingling with others.Could it be that they felt free? Did they think lighter by enjoying their lives, or did they feel shackled by what they were doing? Among them, some were walking with only
Elsie's Pov"So you're sure this isn't a contraction or something?" I looked at Seth. Even though the expression on his face looked grim and gloomy, he still asked and confirmed my condition, overriding what he felt.The doctor approached and checked my pulse quietly. It seemed not to confirm what Seth asked but because he just needed to check. "No, it's still not labour yet. If it's normal labour, it seems it will still take a while." he turned towards Seth, then later patted the man's shoulder. "You don't need to be that worried. This kind of cramps will probably appear several times during pregnancy, but stay calm, as it's nothing serious."Seth exhaled and looked at me with relief, though his eyes still didn't seem back to what they were before. "Let it go, then. I'll take her home." Seth approached me, helped me get up from where I was lying and sat me in the wheelchair.Before leaving, Seth approached the doctor, who wrote something on paper. Then he held his head and looked at
Elsie's PovEven though I had previously avoided Seth's suspicions of me, and I had also tried to organise my mind to trust Seth, I didn't understand why I still doubted what had happened or why I still doubted that he was someone I knew.I still doubted that what Seth did had anything to do with what Atlas said. My eyes realised his sincerity, realised his feelings for me weren't an ordinary mask, but my intuition for him didn't make me calm.Day after day, I was troubled by my growing suspicion of him. I, who tried to ignore what I felt, finally could no longer ignore my feelings for him. I felt restless, and my desire to keep my mind calm for the sake of the baby in my womb was no longer able to keep it calm.Even though I tried my hardest, I could no longer dismiss the suspicion towards Seth that kept growing inside me. I wanted to keep trusting him and hoping that he was exactly what I had seen, but I couldn't do it. I can't think like that anymore.If I'm a hybrid, then that mea
