The man stared at her with a distasteful look on his face. Evelyn wanted to crawl into a hole. It was obvious that her mate wasn't happy with her.
She doesn't blame him. How can anyone be happy with a girl like her? She was weak and uneducated, and doesn't even know how to defend herself.
Her mate is the alpha of a Pack. Evelyn knew how important is an Alpha and Luna to a Pack. She doesn't think she's qualified for that responsibility.
"Take her to the pack doctor," The Alpha said, his face void of any kind of emotion. Evelyn didn't dare to make eye contact, for some reason she knew that the Alpha didn't like it.
Her mate then walked out of the cabin, not even bothering to give the girl a second glance. Evelyn stared at her other half leaving, his scent disappearing with him.
She looked down, unable to hold back the tears in her eyes. She didn't want to cry in front of the strangers.
"Hey," The curly-haired man said, scratching the back of his neck. The guy didn't know how to handle a crying omega. "Umm.. You need to come with us. Don't worry, we won't hurt you." He said gently.
Evelyn didn't know what to say. She had to stay with her mate. Staying apart from one's mate can cause serious physical and mental issues to both of them and hurting her mate was the last thing she wanted.
The omega wiped her tears, trying to give the man a small smile as she stood up. Her legs were still shaking from the not so pleasant encounter with her mate. She sighed, taking her bag from the floor.
"Come on," The man said to the omega as he stepped out of the cabin. Evelyn slowly followed him, clutching the bag close to her chest.
Evelyn felt awkward and uncomfortable walking with the strangers because no one was saying anything.
After fifteen minutes of walking, they reached the area where there were a lot of houses. Most of them were made of wood and designed similarly. They were built at a certain distance, close but not so close.
The number of wooden houses increased as they walked ahead. The place was clean and beautiful. There were a lot of trees around and a road that passed through connecting all the houses. There were iron benches on each side of the road along with waste bins and flower pots. The place looked so close to nature despite being closer to the city.
The guys stopped when they reached a house that was three times bigger than the others.
"You guys go ahead and take her to Amelia. I'm going to look for Alpha," Calvin said to the others before walking inside.
They took her to the right side of the house where there was a small cabin, bigger than where she slept yesterday. In front of the cabin, there were different types of plants and most of them were roses.
The curly-haired guy went in first, leaving the omega with the other one. Evelyn didn't know anyone around her. Her mate didn't even bother to introduce himself or ask about her. It pained her to even think about her mate at this point.
After a minute, the guy came out with a young lady beside him. She had ginger hair and green eyes. She looked beautiful and elegant.
'She must be the one Calvin was talking about.'
"Hello dear, I'm Amelia." The lady said with a small smile. Her smile made Evelyn feel a certain warmth that she hadn't felt in years. The omega looked at her eyes, which was shining with kindness and....pity?
"I'm the pack doctor," The lady grabbed her hands, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I have to do some tests to see if you're healthy, you look so pale and your body temperature is also really high. Tell me if you're uncomfortable, okay?"
Evelyn gave her a small nod before she took her into the cabin. The cabin was really spacious. Amelia sat her in one of the six beds.

There was a comfortable silence between them as Amelia checked her. Being with her made Evelyn feel so calm. Maybe it's because she's another woman or maybe it's because of how gentle and caring she was to her.
"You have a fever. Don't worry, it's just because of the cold, it'll go away in a day." Amelia said, opening a cabinet that was filled with medicines. She took two bottles from there before turning her attention back to the omega.
"What is your name, dear?" She asked the girl who was fiddling with the hem of her sweater.
"E-Evelyn," The girl said, her voice hoarse from not talking for a long time."W-what is this Pack called?" Evelyn needed answers, she knew she has to stay here as long as her mate needs her, but the girl didn't even know what her mate's name is..
"This is the Shadow Pack, dear. Have you ever heard about us?"
Evelyn shook her head, she didn't know anything about any packs other than her previous one, which she had to leave at the age of ten. "What's the Alphas' name?" She asked looking down at her feet. She wanted to know so bad what his name is.
"His name is Keiran. He took charge as the Alpha two years ag-"
"Amelia," There was a knock on the door, making Amelia stop halfway. She rushed to the door, opening it to see one of the guys from before. "Alpha wants you to show the omega a room, give her something to eat, and also tell her he wants to see her in two hours." He said before leaving in a hurry.
Evelyn heard what he said. Her mate wants to meet her and that thought alone made her anxious.
'Is he going to reject me?' Her eyes welled up as she thought about every possible thing her mate's going to tell her.
"Let's go to the Packhouse, shall we?" Evelyn jumped out of her thoughts as Amelia gently squeezed her shoulder. She had a feeling that the doctor knew about her being the mate of their Alpha.
Evelyn gave her a nod as she stood up, taking her bag into her hands. Amelia took her to the Packhouse, a few people, who were passing by, stopped and stared at the new omega confused. Their Pack never really welcomed rouges to be a member. If you have to get into the Pack, you would have to pass a lot of tests. It was to make sure that the new member is not a spy from other Packs. So the presence of a new omega was a surprise to everyone.
"This is your room.....for now. Go in and freshen up, I'll give you some clothes, okay?" Amelia said as she opened the door. The room was an average room with a bed, a small bedside table and a closet.Even though it wasn't that big, it looked so spacious to the omega since it was her first time staying in a room like this.
She nodded to the doctor and went into the room. Amelia followed her inside." There's the bathroom," She said, pointing to the attached bathroom. "Come down after you wash up, okay? I'll give you something to eat, you must be hungry." She patted Evelyn on her head, which made her slightly flinch because she wasn't used to these kinds of treatments. "The kitchen is downstairs, on the left side so don't get lost searching for it." Amelia chuckled before going out of the room.

There was a sweater and a pair of jeans on the bed when Evelyn got out of the shower. They looked new and expensive, unlike the ones she had.
Evelyn went down as Amelia told her to do. Searching for the kitchen wasn't a hard task because a mouth-watering scent engulfed her as soon as she got downstairs. She followed the scent to the kitchen to see Amelia and two other ladies cooking something.
"Oh, you're here." Amelia said as she saw Evelyn." Your hair looks so smooth and silky. Did you use the shampoo?" She asked coming closer to the omega.
"I-I'm sorry, wasn't I supposed to? " The omega looked down, fiddling with the hem of her sweater.
"Oh no, dear, you're free to use everything. Come sit down, I'll give you something to eat." She said, dragging Evelyn to the table.
*

It was the most Evelyn ate in ten years. Amelia was making her eat everything on her plate, telling her she has to take care of her health. The food was delicious as it smelled.
After Evelyn finished eating Amelia gave her two pills. "Here, take this. It will help with your fever." She said smiling. "Also I made this herbal tea for you, it's good for your throat." Amelia said, giving the omega a cup of tea.
Evelyn smiled as she took the pills and the cup from her hand. The warm tea made Evelyn sigh in relief. This was all a new feeling to her.
"Alpha said he's waiting for you on the third floor," Evelyn looked around to see a girl standing behind her. "You're the new omega, right? " The girl asked her to which Evelyn nodded. "You should go there soon, he's not very patient." The girl gave her a small smile before walking off.
Evelyn looked at Amelia who smiled at her. "Go talk to him, it will be alright." She patted her hair gently.
Evelyn took in a deep breath. She will have to face fate no matter how many times she runs away, so why not now?
Evelyn hesitantly stood in front of the door not knowing what to do. She was afraid of what her mate is about to say. The girl had lost all of her hope about being accepted.'What if he doesn't like me? What if he's already married?W-what if he r-rejects me?' Alarming thoughts passed through Evelyn's mind as she stood there fidgeting with the hem of her sweater. It took her a minute to calm down and bring herself to finally find the courage to go into the room.Taking in a deep breath, Evelyn slowly raised her hand to knock."Come in," A deep voice came from inside the room, making her hand pause in mid-air. The omega gasped and stepped back, surprised at how her mate knew she was there.The alpha smelled the presence of the girl the minute she got there. It was an alluring scent of jasmine that was so hard to ignore. He was waiting for the omega to knock but spoke up when he
"Evelyn, are you alright?" Amelia's worried voice made the omega snap out of her thoughts. She was staring mindlessly at the window when Amelia came to her room."You seemed to be in deep thoughts," The tan-skinned doctor said, amusement slipping through her voice."I... It was nothing... " Evelyn looked down, she still felt a little awkward talking to people even though Amelia did her best to make Evelyn feel at home.Evelyn couldn't see this place as her home no matter how much she tried to. She won't ever feel warmth in this place as long as her mate doesn't accept her..."How's your fever?" Amelia asked as her hand was immediately on Evelyn's forehead, checking the temperature."It's okay, I think. I feel a lot better now,"Amelia nodded, "You should still drink the herbal tea, it's good for your health." She smiled at the ome
"How's it, Luna?" One of the omega maids asked as Evelyn tasted the soup."It's really good," Evelyn smiled. "Also, you can call me Evelyn. I'm not the Luna..." She looked down. It felt awkward to Evelyn that almost everyone was calling her something she isn't."That's okay, you're going to be the Luna soon." The maid chirped happily before going to take care of her awaiting chores.Almost every omega in the Pack is excited about Evelyn becoming the next Luna because it's the first time an omega is taking over that position. It's natural for them to think that they finally have someone who understands them.Evelyn sighed. She couldn't tell the omegas about how complicated her relationship is with the Alpha and it made her heart heavy because she was giving them hope about something that is most likely not going to happen."Luna! Good morning!" A high pitched v
"What are you doing here?" The Alpha asked, his jaws clenching as he eyed the omega. His Beta, Calvin, was right beside him—staring at the omegas uninterested."I-I... W-we were just—" Evelyn stuttered not knowing what to say. Rain quickly moved and found a safe spot behind the girl."Who gave you permission to go out?" The Alpha asked, taking long strides towards the omegas."N-No one, I-I didn't k-know I had to ask—I'm s-sorry." Evelyn nervously chewed on her lips. The flower petals falling from her hair as she lowered her head in submission."Don't repeat this next time when you step out of the Packhouse." The Alpha scolded as he glared at the omega.Evelyn just meekly nodded in reply, afraid to speak up. Keiran shifted his gaze to the boy behind her."You're hanging out with him?" He huffed staring at the omega hiding behind Evelyn. Rain looked down, not d
Evelyn heard the faint murmur of people talking inside as she walked towards the room. To say she was nervous would be an understatement. Evelyn was shaking as she took each step. The people inside that room are the ones who are going to decide her destiny."You can go in, Luna." The omega maid said as she opened the huge wooden door. Evelyn gulped as the voices were now clear and understandable but they seem to be talking about something that Evelyn couldn't quite understand.She thanked the maid before taking a deep breath and stepping into the room. The voices died down as soon as she entered the room.Evelyn looked to her left to see that everyone in the room was staring at her. The omega held her breath not knowing what to do as there was an awkward silence in the room.There were nine people in the room including her mate. They all sat on a big leather couch that was arr
"You'll be the Luna today, yay!" Rain shouted bouncing around."Stop bouncing on the bed, Rain. You'll feel dizzy." Evelyn sighed as she warned the hyper boy. He ate too much sugar today.Rain stopped and took out his fifth lollipop. He carefully unwrapped it and put it in his mouth before continuing to bounce on the bed.Evelyn shook her head as she folded all the new clothes Amelia bought her. It wasn't much, just a few more pairs of jeans and sweatshirts for her to wear."Who gave you all these lollipops?" Evelyn questioned the boy who kept jumping on the bed.He stopped and took the candy stick out of his mouth. "Amelia bought this for me! They're all mango flavored! Do you want one? I also got cupcakes and chocolate bars but they're in my room." Evelyn figured that the omega was sugar high from how excited he was talking."No, I don't want one and th
Amelia and Scarlet helped Evelyn to get ready as the omega didn't seem to know anything about makeup.Evelyn was beautiful even without makeup but a light touch of some blush, lip gloss, and eyeliner did magic to her face. She let her long hair down free as it was more beautiful that way.Evelyn's long golden hair is something that makes people stop and stare at her for a minute. It came down to her hips in shiny wavy curls."Here, wear these earrings," Amelia said as she gave the omega the jewelry. The earrings were beautiful with a long chain and with a simple stone hanging at the end of it."It looks like raindrops," Evelyn smiled as she looked at the jewelry amused." They're sapphire," Amelia said making Evelyn look at her."Huh? " The omega asked, her head tilted in confusion.
Keiran extended his hand for Evelyn to take as she reached the stage. The omega was surprised but didn't make it obvious.Sparks shot through Evelyn's body as soon she touched her mate. His hand was warm and Evelyn never wanted to let go of that warmth.The Alpha retreated his hand as soon as Evelyn got on the stage, leaving the omega disappointed.Evelyn stared at her mate who had an uninterested expression on his face. He looked exceptionally handsome and had a built body that makes women drool over him. The omega wondered why the moon goddess paired her with such a powerful man."Cutt off all the unnecessary bullsh*t and jump straight to the ritual," Keiran muttered to the priest who gulped at his threatening voice.Evelyn looked down. It hurts her to think that her mate really wasn't interested in such an important moment in their life.
