Daisy
From day one, my life was nothing but a string of bad luck. I was born an Omega while my parents were the Betas of the pack. My birth nearly killed my mother so I was unloved immediately. I was the smallest and weakest pup as well. Honestly, I'm surprised I survived since my parents hate me so much. I've been neglected all my life. Always pushed aside for the beautiful, perfect, and well-loved Dahlia. Who would love a useless and plain daisy when they could have a beautiful and sweet dahlia? My twin sister is a strong and skillful wolf who shifted at the same pace as the previous Alpha's son at merely the age of eight. She looks like a part of our family with long honey-blonde, bright blue eyes, and nice sun-kissed skin. She always excels in hunting, and fighting, and everyone adores her. She is who everyone assumes will be our next Luna. Compared to her, I don't fit in at all. With my gray-white hair, dull purple eyes, and pale as a sheet skin, I'm nothing but plain and ugly. I can't stand being in the sun too long because I burn easily and it just hurts my eyes. I don't excel in anything other than cooking and cleaning too. I'm the lowest of the low and the joke of the whole pack. Even I'm aware of this and can only bite my tongue and bear it. Because of my rank, I'm everyone's punching bag, both literally and figuratively. I'm bullied without any mercy and even if I'm sick, I still have to work or I'll be punished. It wasn't always this way. Before the Alpha's son took over, I was treated better. The former Alpha and Luna were kind and never tolerated bullying on their watch. However, now it's just so much worse because we have a new alpha now: Tristian Parker. He's our new Alpha and also happens to be Dahlia's boyfriend. He is very handsome with dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and tanned skin rippling with muscles. I used to have a crush on him but it's faded into the background. He hates weakness more than anything which means he despises me. He doesn't strike me down himself. That's beneath him or rather that's what I assume. He's seen others beat me but does nothing but watch until they're finished. While I pick myself up, he finally speaks and it's always the same thing. "Heh... Daisy, the useless Omega. Disgusting and weak as always. Maybe if you weren't so pathetic, I'd stop them." He then always leaves me while I just sit there. I've heard it so many times now that it doesn't bother me much anymore. It still hurts that even my own Alpha won't even help me. In a way, he's worse than the bullies. I've learned to expect nothing from him and just endure. Lick and tend my wounds until the day I can finally leave this pack. I only cling to one hope: my mate. In just a few days, I'll turn eighteen and with any luck, not only find my mate but also meet my wolf. I haven't been able to shift or hear her voice so I hope when I'm finally an adult, I can have those joys in life. What do I want in a mate? He doesn't have to be powerful or high-ranking. All I want from my mate is his love and acceptance of me. I may be Daisy the Useless Omega, but no I deserve love too! Don't I? It's the one thing that keeps me going. My longing for my mate and the acceptance and freedom from it. I hope it's a wolf from another pack so I can leave the Moonlight pack. That way I won't ever have to be compared to my perfect twin sister. Dahlia used to be kind to me growing up. She was my only friend and my other half. However, she started to show her true colors after she shifted for the first time. Everyone saw her as special and amazing, but I was there to bring her down. Now Dahlia is my biggest bully. She won't get her hands dirty often and has the other pack members hit me, pour cold water all over me, and lock me in the basement. Everyone treats her as the future Luna already. If she isn't Tristian's mate, then I'm sure they'll be each other's chosen mates. Tristian is already twenty-one but hasn't found his mate yet either. He can't take Dahlia as his chosen mate until she's eighteen so everyone waits while holding their breaths. Because they're both so mean anyway, I think they suit each other well. I hope they don't bring down the pack though. "Daisy! Stop spacing out and finish up!" I jump getting pulled out of my thoughts. A fellow Omega and my best friend, Samuel, watches me in concern. "Be careful... if anyone sees you like that, they'll punish you." He murmurs and starts to help me out. Samuel is like a little brother to me. He's sixteen and has orange hair, green eyes, and so many freckles. He's a sweet boy and someone I can lean on when things get way too hard. "I'm sorry, Sammy. I'm just thinking of what might happen three days from now." I say and start to fold clothes again. Samuel smiles gently. "I'm sure you are... I hope that you'll find happiness. You do deserve it, Day. After everything you've gone through, you need a loving mate. He's the only person who knows about my desires. As I hang up a pretty dress, I long or wear something nice like this. All I ever have to wear is a pair of sweatpants and a baggy hoodie. "Thank you," I murmur and continue to fold and hang up clothes with Samuel. It's just then that I hear a door swing open and hear some footsteps. "Where are you, bitch?!" I freeze at that voice. What does Dahlia want from me this time?SamuelAfter dropping Rose off, I make my way to my friend's house. Surely, she’ll be able to give me the advice I need. Maybe it'll just be the usual "follow your heart" or "trust your gut," but she and her mate have hated Peter for years. I can’t blame either of them.I knock on the door, and a young girl answers. "Hello, Ebony," I say to her. She’s growing up to be a lovely young lady, though she’s still as shy as ever.Ebony waves shyly. "H-hello... Mom! It’s Sammy!"I grimace at that old nickname. She hangs around Skylar too much—he got it from his mother, who still calls me that like I’m some sort of child.As Zoey walks downstairs, drying her hair, she tilts her head. "Hello there. I assume you need to speak with Hazel? She’s in the kitchen right now. I’m hopeless in there—everything turns into burned mush." She shrugs and walks over to Ebony.I nod. "Yes, she was always the one to cook all the meals for us back in the day," I murmur as I head to the kitchen. If I hadn’t alread
SamuelMy morning routine hasn't changed much over the years. I still take my early morning jog to stay fit and strong. The only difference now is that I have two people who join me rather than being alone. I don't have a say in this arrangement, but I wouldn't have it any other way."Can't catch me, Daddy!" Rose squeaks and races off, her long carrot-top hair very noticeable in the spring green forest. Now six years old, she's becoming her own little person. I see more of her father in her every day, which I don't mind at all."Don't go too far ahead of us, Rose!" I call after her and shake my head. The man next to me chuckles, and I scowl at him. "Even if these are our woods, she can still get into trouble," I mutter. She's my pup, after all, so I'm always worried about her."She'll be fine. Don't sweat over it so much, Samuel. I'll just go and get her before she gets too far away," Peter shrugs. "I'll never let anything happen to our pup. You know me better than that."I never conf
LeahAs we kiss and discard more clothes between us, I continue to grow more and more nervous. Compared to the girls Tristian had already been with, where did I stand in his eyes? That hot and heavy look on his face answers my question but I still am very shy."Don't try and cover yourself," Tristian says making me blush. I didn't even realize I was doing such a thing. "You're beautiful, Leah. Never hide yourself from me." He kisses me again while his hands explore all over me.I giggle as I'm rather ticklish and smile shyly. "I-I'm not so sure about that but... thank you for the compliment," I murmur and kiss him back. I take this time to explore him as well.I feel his deep scars but I also feel his hard, rippling muscles. Being underneath him like this makes me realize how small I am... and how big something else will be. My face turns bright red at the thought."What's wrong?" Tristian tilts his head before grinning. "Ohh... you're having naughty thoughts now aren't you?" He kisse
LeahSeveral months have passed since we brought Tristian back to Royal Pack. Since then, he's been going through a harsh hazing but otherwise seems in high spirits. Going from Alpha to Omega didn't drag him down too much—he seems to have something to look forward to. The fact that it's me always makes me blush.The more I watch Tristian, the prouder I am to have him as my mate. He never complains about how he's been treated and just does his work. Of course, it’s mostly cleaning and carrying things around. He’s hopeless at cooking—no need to poison anyone with that!I giggle at the thought, though my stomach twists with anxiety. I have something I need to tell him, something very important, but every time I try, I feel like I’m going to faint or my heart will explode.You'll do fine, Leah, Eden tells me. I sense her wagging her tail with excitement. I have a feeling you’ll be very warm and comfortable tonight as well. She’s teasing me, yet she’s just as anxious as I am.“We both will
TristianThe first thing I notice when I wake up is the smell of bitter herbs and a familiar room. I sit up quickly and immediately regret it as a massive dizzy spell hits me. I groan and force myself not to throw up. Once again, I find myself in the Royal Pack's healer home... Leah’s home.“Oh, it looks like you’re finally awake,” a familiar voice says, and my heart sinks. I look up and see Xander leaning against the wall.“You were in rough shape, though, so perhaps it’s to be expected. You’ve only been gone a couple of weeks, and you’re already in such a state… You must have more enemies than I expected.”I grimace and lower my head. “I only met one enemy so far. She wanted me to suffer, so… I doubt she would have killed me.” I clench my fists. “At least... not for a long while, anyway.”Xander nods and tilts his head. “Carmen told me it was someone Leah called Penny. Can I assume it's your old friend Penelope?” He chuckles when I look at him in surprise. “I keep up with the other
TristianMany questions are racing through my mind especially with Leah being here right now and even saying she isn't here to reject me. I want nothing more than to hold her close and continue to redeem myself to be the mate she deserves.Maybe everything will work out in the end. If Leah accepts me, then maybe I'll have a clean slate to work with. Of course, I don't expect us to jump into being mates. A trial period will be needed so she knows she can trust me. I also need to know I can trust myself.As I think more about it, I picture my life with Leah. I won't be an Alpha anymore... yet that doesn't bother me at all. Instead, I see myself helping her mix up herbs for her patients and even doing small chores around the pack.In a way, it's a relief not to have all that pressure anymore. I won't have a pack to think for nor be responsible for everyone as a whole. I'll be part of a pack at least and won't go insane. I'll have a home, a beautiful mate, and a bright future. Even if my
