Omega

“Wake up, you idiot” a lady shouted at the top of her voice, Livey blinked her eyes not minding her environment, it couldn’t be her she was talking to, she had no one to accompany her in the woods when she laid in the woods so she guessed.

“I am taking to you, you gold digger” a slap pounced on her face and she sprung up like a bolt of lightning.

“Where am I” she searched around holding her hands to her face.

“Don’t you dare ask me such stupid questions” Bridgette said folding her arms and looking angrily at her, why did they have to bring such an unkempt girl to the castle. She was extremely angry at how late she was to begin her chores.

“I am sorry ma’am” Livey was helpless, she knew who Bridgette was, as he lowered her head in respect but what she was more marveled about was who brought her to the castle, ‘Could it be Ash’ she thought.

“Listen here, I don’t have time for all your uselessness, get to work or you won’t have anything to eat for the rest of the week. Livey hazily stood up and pick a mob following closely behind, in just one day she had turned from the warriors daughter to a lowly omega moping and cleaning the castle.

She picked up a familiar scent as she followed ahead and was met with Ash widened in shock of seeing her in the castle, he couldn’t take his eyes off her and Gabrielle noticed it, she cast her dark gaze on Livey warning her with her eyes to stay off her man.

His shocked expressions confirmed to Livey that he wasn’t the one who brought her to the castle, then who did?

She walked past them not uttering a word, Scarlett noticed the stiffness of Ash, as if he had seen a ghost, only Livey had that effect in him.

“So Gabrielle, your Luna ceremony is coming up along with Ash coronation, are you excited?” She quickly said to Livey’s hearing,

Livey’s mood dampened and she felt a tug in her heart, she stared at Ash one last time with so much hurt in her eyes.

He shifted a bit from Gabrielle but she immediately locked her hands with his and smiled.

“Ash, don’t be like that, your mate is trying to be close to you” Scarlett added with her soft tone.

“Move it slow poke” Bridgette ordered walking faster until they go to the store room, “make sure this place is cleaned up and then you will make breakfast for the guards and warriors” she ordered and closed the door behind her.

Livey looked around, the storeroom was a total mess, she picked up a few cartoons of fruits and was penetrated by the foul smell of some rotten fruits.

“Hi” a voice said startling her, Livey hit her her head on a shelf in panic,

“I didn’t mean to startle you” Mel, a beautiful girl with pale blue eyes and a nice smile spoke.

“It’s alright, I didn’t know anyone was here” she answered rubbing her head,

“I am Mel and you?” 

“Livey, are you new here?” She asked as Mel who joined her in arranging the cartoons,

“No, I have been here for five years now, I pretty much know everything about this place” Mel said stacking the shelf.

“Nice, it would be good to have someone to ask questions, Bridgette is a total ass”

“Shhh, what if she hears you, every omega here call her ma’am, the last omega who tried to disrespect her was sent to the dungeon and she hadn’t returned yet.

Everyone you see in this castle is deadly, most especially the Luna” Mel warned as she whispered while taking to her, her hands were a bit shaky in fear that someone might hear her.

“I will be sure to stay clear off her way” she smiled winking her eyes,

“It is nice to finally have a friend, others are just rude irrespective of the fact that they are just omegas” Mel smiled back.

“Same here, why don’t we wrap this up, so that we can make some food, I am dying to eat something” Livey’s stomach grumbled and they both giggled, they hurried up with their work before Bridgette could even get a chance to shout at them.

In the kitchen, Livey made some pancakes from her mother’s recipe, she tried to take a bite when Mel slapped her hand, 

“Omegas eat last, even though they made the food, we are only allowed to eat leftovers” she said.

“That’s unfair, how can I make something and not taste it” Livey groaned, the pancakes were one of her favorites but as much as she wanted to eat it, she couldn’t. There were so many rules that she would have broken if Mel wasn’t there.

Placing the dishes on the table, a warrior reached for Livey’s ass but she slapped his hands.

“Easy” he said licking his lips, “I haven’t seen you here before, are you new” he asked, 

“No talking with the omegas” a guard reprimanded slapping his shoulders, 

Livey sighed, she had gotten rid of that factor, he concentrated back on his food without giving her a glance again as if he was in fear of someone.

“Hmm Livey, this is so good” Mel said immediately she got back to the kitchen,

“It’s my moms recipe” she said sadly remembering the incident that ended their lives.

“I love it, now you can eat” Mel gestured giving her a plate as they shared and ate merrily. 

Mel seemed to be the only person to brighten her day aside from the rest who had all given her a sure deal of misery.

Livey had her rest until the afternoon when she was summoned by Gabrielle.

“Get me anything that you are capable of making and do it quick” Gabrielle ordered sitting with her friend as they gossip about a few things, Livey could guess that she was already bragging to be the Luna in a few days time, she made some pancake and brought it to them.

“What is this” Gabrielle spat staring disgustingly at the food, 

“I didn’t ask you to make me this, I asked for food, good food not snacks” she yelled.

“Then you should specify” Livey answered back,

“Did you just talk back to me you lowly omega” she yelled bringing it to Bridgette attention.

“What is going on” Bridgette who had just walked over asked.

“I asked this girl to make lunch for me and she brought this to me, when I asked her to change she began complaining” Gabrielle narrated giving dagger shots to Livey.

“I don’t think..” Bridgette had already slapped Livey,

“How dare you take back to the Luna-to-be, don’t you know your place” she grabbed her ear pushing her to the floor.

“I didn’t mean to disrespect her, I was only trying to reason with her” Livey begged with tears in her eyes, she had never been beaten before for doing the right thing, her mother had always told her to stand her ground whenever she was right, why then was she punished for being right.

“Reason with her as what, as her mother, as the Luna” Bridgette lashed out.

She raised her hands to hit her again when she felt a strong pair of hands holding hers,

She turned back and met the Gamma’s son cold and deadly eyes.

“Don’t you dare lay your hands on her ever again” he said and picked Livey up from the floor.

Bridgette was embarrassed as she apologized and went away, Gabrielle and her friend also scurried away.

“Are you okay” Brent asked placing her gently on the bed, she smiled at him not trying to look into his eyes, he was a ranked member and she wouldn’t dare to disrespect him.

“I am fine” she replied,

“Look at me” he ordered with authority and her eyes met his, he had a beautiful pair of brown eyes that could melt any woman’s heart.

He smiled at her and she felt uncomfortable, “I brought you here, because I thought you had nowhere else to stay, are you okay with that” 

“You were the one that brought me here” she asked not in question but confirming his statement, he nodded his head,

“Why did you help me” she asked.

“You will figure that out later, but for now I want you to rest.

You had a terrible first day, next time I won’t let anyone hurt you” he said almost like a big brother making her feel warm.

Livey laid on her bed after he had left, closing her eyes to sleep the door suddenly flung open,

“Are you okay” Mel asked worried, she had heard about the incident from the other omegas as they laughed at her for having a bad day.

“I am fine” She sat upright looking at her,

“I heard that the Gamma helped you, isn’t he amazing” Mel fantasized making her daydreams obvious to Livey who could see that she was crushing on the Gamma.

“You like him” Livey stated,

“No, I don’t” Mel reacted trying to shake off the once wild thoughts she had about Brent.

“Shit, I forgot to ask his name and age”

“Oh, his name is Brent and he is 20.

Is there anything else you want to know” Mel asked,

“You can deny all you want but deep down, we both know that you like him” Livey pulled the thin cloth over her body that could barely keep the cold away.

“Can I sleep here with you” Mel asked with her purring eyes.

“Sure” Livey agreed and they shared stories together until they slept off.
