CHAPTER ONE : The Alpha's Rejection

EMILY

Don’t be scared, you can do it!

Don’t be scared, you can do it!

This is the matrix I repeated to myself to keep myself from running out of the hall. I had been selected as one of the maids that would be serving during this year's ball, normally I would be in the kitchen serving but this year was different. I was serving the Alphas and Luna at this ball.

As an omega I was extremely frightened, the aura of an alpha is really powerful. Their wolf can’t be compared to the wolf of omega which made my wolf submit to every alpha, especially the alpha of my pack.

I continued serving and taking orders from the Luna’s and alpha’s trying so hard not to spill or break anything cause I don't want to get in trouble with my alpha. The last ball that happened I heard of a girl last year that was slapped by an alpha because she spilled wine on his garment. I've also heard other stories of other omegas who made little mistakes and were punished.

After serving the alphas and lunas who ordered, I stood behind the bar cleaning the bar tables and setting cups just in case of any more orders. As I cleaned the table I tried to keep my wolf at bay. She has been awfully sad for the past week and I don't blame her for the past two weeks we’ve not gone out for a run because of the preparation of the ball.

This is the 15th ball ceremony I was attending. I joined the Lunar moon park but this time around it is quite different. In all the balls the alpha king never attended, people said things about him being out of town and not liking ceremonies like this but surprisingly this time he decided to attend. The ball was held as a yearly celebration for all the alpha and luna to celebrate; it has been in existence since the Werewolves were at peace with the rogues. Even if I believe the rogues still exist, I heard from other pack members that there was now an alliance between the werewolves and the rogues. The rogues are also werewolves like us but are either banished from their pack for some reason or people who lost their mate and couldn’t bear the pain so they left their pack to be alone. From stories I heard the trouble started when the rogues would show up in the territory of other pack members and then would be killed when the group rogues saw that they started killing other pack members and attacking different packs until they had a meeting to settle it all. My parents were also killed by a rogue. I never knew my parents. My alpha only once told me he saw me on his way back from a meeting with another pack and I was laying on the floor when he picked me up as a child. I had more questions to ask but was scared to ask him and I doubt he would have answers to my questions. I wish to find out about my parents and the way to do that was to get a mate. Being in the Lunar Moon pack for 21 years I was certain my mates weren’t part of the pack and I pray to the moon goddess he comes my way very soon and hope I don't get rejected by him because of my status. I continued setting cups and the wines on the table to act busy so I won't be sent out to deliver or to receive orders but then I guess my plan didn't work out as the head of the omega called me out to bring in more wines from the back.

I bowed my head as I passed through the crowd, as an omega I was tiny so walking in a room filled with alpha felt like I was walking in a room filled up with giants.

I took a deep breath as I left the hall, taking in the new fresh air and enjoying the little bit of calmness for a little while before I had to go back to the hall. Letting the cold breeze hit my skin and the smell of the woods calm my wolf down I rested my head on the wall while looking at the moon. This was just the perfect weather to let my wolf out for a run but it wasn't the right time. It was a full moon which means after the ball all the alpha would let their wolf out for a run together. It was a joyous and scary moment, hearing the howls of your alpha brought joy but seeing all the alphas together was the scary part, even if they didn't mean to scare us they still did.

I stood up ready to leave and pick up the wines so I wouldn't get in trouble with the head. I turned round the building heading towards the storehouse but stopped right at the front as I heard a voice beside the building.

Distracted by the smell, I followed the scent that filled the air, leading me to the most handsome man in the world. He had black hair that stopped mid-length. I looked at his crystal blue eyes and suddenly felt like the world stopped spinning, it felt as if we were the only two people on earth.

"Mate," I said as my wolf growled with full possession.

I couldn't believe I'd found my mate. But taking one good look at him I noticed something else: he's an alpha.

" You're an Omega," he said as he squeezed with disgust.

I bowed my head while muttering yes. Waiting for the next thing to come a drop of tears dropped from my eyes.

" I don't have time for all this, I'm the alpha king and I can't afford to have an Omega as the queen. I, Marcus Danielson, Alpha king, reject you as my mate. " Never had I experienced such pain before but with little courage I looked up into his eyes still finding it hard to believe I'd been rejected.

He pushed me and started walking but stopped midway.

"Don't utter any word to anybody about being my mate" He said before he continued walking leaving me in pain.

Standing up I ignored the pain in my leg. I walked deep into the woods with tears flowing from my eyes. I let my wolf full control with four paws touching the ground. I dash into the forest, howling like never before.
