Amelia Carter

Amelia

Some dreams should have been left as it is, just dreams. Who said dreams come true? Whoever that pesty creature was is a freaking liar.

Dreams are just some unconscious adventures one goes through in the mind.

One reason I never believed in it is because you don't ever get to see yourself in your dreams, why should I believe my dream would come true.

One day, I'll sit close to my father under my favourite tree. He'll welcome me with his wide arms and call me... His daughter. That was one thing I've waited for since I was a child but no! It's all a freaking dream.

"Amelia! This dishes aren't going to wash themselves!" I heard someone yell my name. I tiredly got up from where I was trying to get some rest and walked towards the kitchen.

"Coming!" I yelled back. The maids were there. They've had their breaks and expected me to wash their dishes. I saw them licking their lips and picking their teeths.

I peeped into the pot, nothing was left for me, not even the crumbs. I cooked that meal but didn't leave any for me.

They saw the hopeless looks on my face and laughed their way out of the kitchen. The head maid remained to order me around.

"Once you are done, head to the palace and grab the princess dress. It needs washing. Make sure you don't try to steal anything again" she said and left.

"Yes ma'am" I bowed in respect till she left. That's who I am, that's how I was born, that's how I was fucking raised.

My name is Amelia Carter, I'm the omega of my pack. I'm beautiful, nice and way too obedient. I'm yet to clock twenty two but haven't found my mate yet. I mean, I've found my mate, many of them but, they rejected me. No one wants nothing to do with me. I use to think I was a tough child but on the outside, I was weakling who does what everyone says without questioning them. It was like I was cursed to be obedient but my wolf refuse to abide by that rule. She was the direct opposite of who I am. I've just learnt to control it... Somehow. I just silently pray it doesn't lost control one day. I'm sure it's going to be hell that day.

Washing the dishes was a piece of cake for me, heading to the palace was hell. I get to receive hateful gossip from the Alpha's men and palace maids because I'm the omega, even the maids ranked higher than I.

"Look, it's Amelia, the crazy slut" they always refer to me as that, no big surprise there. I don't fucking care about what people say about me, because that's not who I am.

"Hey Amelia, if you're done washing the princess's dress, would you mind washing my balls?" One of the guards asked. They all burst into laughter.

"Haha, very funny!" I faked a laugh at the guards dry jokes, walking away from them.

I head straight to the princess room. I knocked the door multiple times till someone answered. She glanced at me from head to toe.

"You aren't here to steal, are you?" She asked.

"I'm here for the Princess dirty clothes" I said, calmly. She then pushed the door wider, welcoming me in.

"Go get them and leave"

I head straight to the laundry basket and took her clothes. The princess pretended not to notice me at all as she applied all the make up in the world on her face. What was she trying to prove? Nothing. I've hated her since I was a child and I have my reasons.

"They said make up makes people beautiful, but, Amelia, I think it will do the opposite to you"

I was wrong, I was noticed. Her friend laughed, standing by the door.

"You won't want to be late, we need to go attend the celebration before your father scold us" her friend said.

"What celebration?" I asked. The princess raised her butt off the chair and took steps closer to me. I bowed my head, avoiding glaring at her eyes.

"Forgive me for asking" I muttered, with a shaky breath.

"Apologies not accepted, Amelia. Sometimes you just have to accept who you are as the stupid omega of the pack. You're not invited to the party. If you're invited, I'm sure it's just as a maid because that's who you're born to be. No offense" she said and left.

She said really hurtful thing to me, but there are no tears left for me to cry. I hurriedly left her luxurious room before I get accused of stealing for the hundredth time.

I immediately left the palace not to get into trouble but, I kept thinking about the celebration. I could find my mate there and perhaps, beg him to accept me. I don't care if he works as a guard of work in a pack house. I was hanging the wet clothes when I realised I was out of pegs.

A maid saw me in the backyard and a smirked appeared on her face.

"You should go to the party and serve. They need more maids, the palace maids aren't enough as the guests keeps increasing" she said.

"Of course, I'll go" I said, without complaining. This was my one chance to find my mate.

I immediately head up to the palace and joined the maids in serving drinks to the guests.

I silently prayed to goddess to give me another chance and help me find my mate.

"Take this and serve the the men at the high table" the guy by the counter said. Immediately I took the tray from him, I felt something hit me hard. The scent... The majestic scent. It was difficult for me to breath.

My wolf was getting restless.

"Mate!" She growled.

I turned around, looking for him. I suddenly caught him staring at me, standing in the midst of his friends. He wasn't from this pack. He was from another pack. I left the tray and walked to him.

"Hi" I waved my tiny hands. He looked at me from head to toe like I was a piece of item.

"You? What are you, a maid? How can you be my goddamn mate?" He asked. His friends burst out laughing. My heart was shattered. I don't need someone to tell me that he was going to reject me.

"What's your name maiden?" He asked.

"Amelia..."

He didn't even let me state my last name before he spoke.

"I, Prince Vallin Green of Red Sea Pack, rejects you..." He paused and laughed, because his friends were finding it hard to hold their laughter. I was a joke to them.

"Rejects you, maiden Amelia..." He paused again and laughed. My heart was pounding hard. My wolf couldn't take it. If he wants to reject me, he should go ahead with it and end it quickly.

"As my mate" he concluded and stopped laughing.

"I, Amelia Carter, accept your rejection" I said and turned away.

"Amelia Carter? Did you hear her last name?" He asked his friend.

"Maybe it was a mistake" they replied.

I head back and took the tray and went to the high table. My heart was completely shattered. I hate men with all of my life.

When I get my next mate, I'm going to reject him before he rejects me.

"Why don't you come to my house tonight? Huh?" One of the old creepy guest grabbed my ass from behind. I snapped back to reality and opened my mouth, wanting to yell at him but I would bring more trouble to myself for I'm just an Omega.

The annoying man thinks I'm enjoying his touch because I was silent so, he continued.

"What do you say? We could leave now" he said.

"I'm busy, my lord. Forgive me" I said, calmly.

He released his fingers from the glass and it fell and broke, shattering everywhere.

The music and everything stopped, as everyone focused their gaze on us.

"You dared to say no to me!" He yelled and sprung up.

Was it a big deal I said no? He was completely harassing me and...

"What is the matter great ambassador?"

Did I just hear the Alpha's voice? That's not the matter, did he just call the freaky old man the great ambassador?

"I thought these ladies are for pleasure and service. How dare this tiny one say no to her services?!" He yelled.

I immediately fell on my knees.

"I'm sorry your majesty, forgive me my lord, I didn't mean to.... I'm sorry" I pleaded.

"I don't take sorry for an answer. You'll hear from my pack soon!" He blurted out and left the party before it even got started. His lost, right?

"Who brought this filthy girl here?!" The Alpha yelled.

No one came forward. I regretted saying yes to that girl earlier. I've said a lot of yes and regretted them but, I regretted this one the most. I should have just stayed at the pack house and rest up.

"Take her to the prison and lock her up" he ordered. Guards from no where came and took my hands.

"Please! I did nothing wrong!" I cried. They rough handled me till they threw me into the prison yard. They locked the gates.

"You should have said yes to the old man since you've said no to us Amelia. Now, look where it got you" they laughed as they left.

I just sat there quietly allowing the rats to creep me out. I hated the darkness, I hated being alone, I hated a lot of things and the dungeon was one of them. I just sat there, crying softly.

What was going to happen to me? Why would the Alpha even do this to me and lock me up in here? I'm his eldest daughter for crying out loud!
