Chapter 1

Rain POV:

"Boy, it's time to get up, and make us breakfast," I woke up to my dad yelling at me from upstairs. I lay there for a couple of more seconds before I stretch my arms out and above my head and sit up.

"Another long day," I say, grabbing the thin blanket and throwing it off of me. I get up as the bed frame shrieks letting me know just how old it actually is. I sigh and walk over to my small dresser and open it and sift through the little clothes that I own. I don't own much and to me, that's a good thing. I only have what I need and that means that it is easier for me when I leave. Every month there is a pack meeting and that is the best time to leave, everyone is more focused on the meeting than anything else.

"Hey boys, I said to make us breakfast or else," I hear my dad say while banging on the door. I grab my clothes and get changed. I can't wait to get out of this pack. You see I'm the only male omega ever and my pack doesn't like it. They believe that a male should be with a female and that females should do all the housework while the males go out and protect the pack. And with me being an omega and a small one at that, I can carry kids and give birth so that is a huge no to them. They treat me worse than they do any rogue they come across, the only difference is that they don't kill me, they just hit and punch me and work me to the bone.

After getting dressed I go to the stairs and look up at the door to the basement. My father is so ashamed of me that I am only allowed to come out when I'm told to. And that is only to cook and clean. I sigh looking down and then grab the rickety old rail and it starts to shake. I'm careful about how much weight I put on it because it may break.

"I got to get this fixed at some point," I think to myself as I wiggle it at the top of the stairs. I turn and open the door and walk into the kitchen to get ready and cook the pack breakfast.

"Finally, I don't know why Alpha even keeps you around" I hear someone say behind me, I look over my shoulder and see Clarissa Sweet, the pack slut, she is only 16 and has slept with every unmated wolf in the pack, except me of course, I like to receive not give.

"You know I wonder the same thing sometimes," I whisper, but she must have heard me because she whipped her head around so fast I was scared she would get whiplash, actually on second thought I wasn't, she could get it for all I cared, it might even teach her a lesson.

"What did you say to me, omega?" She asked with rage in her voice. She walked up to me and pushed my back into the counter.

"Who does she think she is?" Whisper, my wolf, said in my head.

"The one who's going to be Luna someday, her words not mine," I say back to him with a sigh and I hear him let out a small laugh before he disappears into the back of my mind.

"I said nothing" I respond to her when I realize that I have yet to. There was a pain in my cheek and my head whipped to the side.

"Did she just?" I think to myself, she did, she just slapped me.

"How dare you lie to me, I will be your future Luna, and you dare lie to me!" She says her face turning red from anger. I look down at my feet and don't say anything, if I respond then she may do worse than just slap me, she may even call the others to come and do worse to me. After some time, I hear the sound of her heels clicking away and I let out the breath that I didn't know I was holding.

After getting breakfast done, I place it on the table and walk back down to my room, I can hear the footsteps of all the pack members coming down the stairs, and I know that I just made it in time, if they saw me still upstairs and not in my room then I would get a huge beating because I'm supposed to do my job and not be seen unless I'm supposed to, like if it involves cleaning someone's room or they need something done, and of course I have to do it or I get a beating.

I'm awoken by the banging on my door. I rub my eyes trying to rid them of sleep.

"Hey, boy get up here and clean up this mess" I hear my 'father' yell from the door. After sitting in bed for a little while just staring off into space I realized what he said. I gasp and throw the covers off my body and run upstairs and almost run into my 'father'. I stop dead in my tracks so that I don't run into him. I look up at him and see his arms crossed over his chest and a scowl on his face.

"In the kitchen boy, you forgot to pick up the mess that you made this morning," he says pointing towards where the kitchen is.

"But, I did clean up," I thought to myself, I always make sure to clean up, I learned my lesson the first time I forgot to clean up, and let's just say that I have made sure to always clean up after I cook, and I always make sure to double-check and sometimes triple check.

I nod my head to him and walk towards the kitchen. When I get to the entrance of the kitchen I stop dead in my tracks. There was a huge mess, my eyes widened at it.

"This wasn't my mess," I think as I walk further into the kitchen. I walk over to the stove and pick up the pot and look at it. I stood there for a second wondering what the pot was doing out because I never used it for breakfast. I sighed and shook my head and made my way over to the sink to put the pot in it so that I could clean it.

After an hour or two I was finally finished cleaning the kitchen, I pull out a chair at the little table that is in the kitchen. I sit down and put my head down on the table and put my arm over my head, and try to rest before the pack comes back from their daily work. I don't know how long I was there for but I was woken up by someone pushing me out of my seat and onto the ground.

"Wow, look at these boys" I look up and see Bruce Garden, the Alpha's son standing over me with a smirk on his face. I looked around trying to find a way out of the room, once I found my exit, I thought of a plan of escape.

"You aren't supposed to be here, are you, omega?" Bruce said, snapping me out of my thoughts of escape. I don't say anything and just continue to look at the ground.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Answer me when I'm speaking to you," Bruce said, raising his foot and kicking me in the stomach. I just shake my head slowly while staying on the ground.

"What was that, use your words?" He yells at me, raising his leg and bringing it back down to my stomach.

"No, I was cleaning and took a break and accidentally fell asleep," I say, raising my arms up to my face, while he raised his leg up again.

"Well, I don't know why you would do that, but I do know that you aren't supposed to be here right now," Bruce says, kicking me over and over again. At some point, his friends must have joined in, but I was in too much pain to really feel anything anymore.

I don't know how long I laid on the floor but I knew that it had to have been a couple of hours. I slowly start to get up, pausing sometimes because of the pain in my ribs.

"I think some of my ribs are broken," I think as I grab the edge of the table with my hand on my ribs. I walk over to the window and look out it and realize how dark it is. I sigh and turn towards the exit and walk towards the door to the basement, or my bedroom, as I like to call it.

"I can't wait to get out of here," I think as I start walking down the stairs.

"Me too," Whisper said in my mind, I walk into the bathroom and go to the cabinet that I have and pull the back of it off the wall and grab the first aid kit that I have hidden there. If they knew that I had a first aid kit they would be upset, no one is allowed to help me heal or anything.

"I can help you heal, but it won't be that much. I wish I could do more, but I'm not at full strength," Whisper says and I can feel the healing process startup.

"It's ok I know you try to do what you can, and I know that it's not your fault that you're not at full strength." I think replying back to Whisper as I lay down on my rickety old bed and pull the thin blanket over my body and try to rest so that my body can heal and I can have some energy for tomorrow.

I was awoken by the rouge attack serine going off, that rang around through the whole house. I sat straight up and threw the blanket off my body and ran up the stairs wondering what was happening. I turned the handle and opened the door a little to peek outside. I didn't really see anything so I opened it up more and when I saw no threat I stepped out and walked towards the nearest window. What I saw froze me in place, there was a fire burning down all the houses and there were wolves fighting wolves and people in human form fighting wolves or other people in human form. I realized that the pack was being attacked by rogues. I was brought out of my thoughts by a huge howl that sounded far away. It sent a tingle through my body and something in me was telling me to go and find what made them howl, I didn't listen to it and ran back to my room. I'm not allowed to go to the safe room with the other pack members, they don't really care if I die in a rogue attack.

When I get to the bottom of the stairs I realize that this is the perfect time to escape. I just have to be careful of everyone and stay out of their way. It's better to leave now than when the pack meeting happens at the end of the month, and I doubt that it will happen now, they don't hold one whenever there is a rogue attack, because repairs and mourning the lost could take some time. After coming up with a plan to go out through the back door and out that way, I go to my bed and grab the bag that I have under it. Once I have it I run to my dresser and grab the clothes that I barely own, I then run to the hole in the cabinet and grab the first aid kit and some other things that I have back there. When I grab everything, I stand at the stairs and do a once-over and think of anything that I may need that I may have forgotten.

Once I confirmed that I had everything that I needed and that I didn't forget anything, I quietly ran up the stairs and put my ear to the door, to listen if anyone was there. When I didn't hear anyone I put my hand on the handle and turned it slowly opening the door. I open the door and peek my head out and look around, when I don't see anyone I step out and start to walk towards the back door. I was slowly but quickly heading towards the door. I don't know if any of the pack warriors were still in the house or if some of the rogues had found their way into the house. When I got to the back door I knew that I was going to be very careful, I don't know if there are many people fighting in the back of the house.

I open the door and peek my head out when I don't see anyone. I open it more and lean out the door farther. I look to my left and see some wolves fighting, I look to my right where the woods are and don't see anyone. I take a deep breath and let it out. I know that if I don't get out now then I will never be able to get out and that I might not even be alive to try again. I nod my head to myself and pull my bag higher up on my shoulder. I open the back door all the way and get ready to start running, I have the advantage of no one knowing that I'm here and all of the pack distracted by the rouges.

After standing there trying to get the courage to take the steps and starting to run, I took the step out and in that split second realized that there was no turning back. So I nodded my head to myself and felt the courage in me grow and I took off towards the woods. I barely looked around. All I focused on was getting to the woods and getting out of the pack. Before I got to the tree line, I chanced a look back at the packhouse, and all I saw was wolves fighting each other. I turned around to start running into the woods when I felt a pair of eyes on me. I risked looking back and trying to find where they were. I didn't see anyone looking at me, so I turned back around but that's when I saw it, out of the corner of my eye. I saw a big black wolf, with piercing gold eyes, I sat there staring at the and the wolf did the same. I don't know why but that wolf was causing Whisper to go crazy in me and telling me to go to it and just let it protect me and let me tell you I did, I really did, but my brain was in more control of my body, cause right behind that wolf was the alpha, and I knew that if he saw me, he would forget all about the rogues and chase after me. So despite what my heart and wolf said I turned and ran into the woods, promising myself and Whisper that I would one day find the wolf with the piercing gold eyes again.

It's been a couple of days since I ran away from my old pack, and by now they should have noticed that I am missing, and they haven't even tried to find me. So that means either one of two things, either they don't really care that I'm gone, and I was worried about running away for nothing, or they think I'm dead. I don't really care which one they think, all I care about is if they actually try to find me. Because if they do then I don't know what I would do, I would never be able to outrun them and I can't win in a fight against any of them.

I packed up my things from last night and went to the creek that I was staying by, even though I didn't think that my old pack was coming out to find me, I wasn't taking a risk at them finding me, so I slicked close to the river because I knew that it could mask my scent from them. After a couple of hours, I decided to take a rest and just sit by the river, after staring at the water for some time I realized that I should probably wash. After looking in my bag for some clean clothes and some other things that I was glad I brought with me, I stripped out of my clothes and went into the river and started to clean myself.

After I was done I got out and dried myself off and got dressed in the clean clothes that I took out for myself, I packed up and decided to walk some more, and then find a place to sleep for the night, seeing as the sun is starting to go down.

☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:⠀ *⋆.*:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆

"Why did you leave him?" Whisper asks me once as I'm setting up the place that I'm going to be staying for the night.

"What do you mean?" I ask laying down and gabbing my bag to use as a pillow.

"I'm asking how you could leave that wolf when you should have run to him and let him protect us from them" Whisper says to me and I remember the wolf that was looking at me at the packhouse when I was leaving.

"How could you leave our mate?!" Whisper yells to me in my head.

"Our WHAT?!" I replied back to him. Our mate, you mean the moon goddess blessed me with a mate and I left him. He must think that I rejected him, this is bad, I don't want to reject him, I want him, I want him to love and protect me. I don't know how but I will definitely find him, even if it means going back towards my old pack, but if he really does want me, and I hope he does, then I hope that even if I say that I reject him, he comes and fights for me.
