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 lost his patience.
Evelyn slowly opened the door before peeking in. The scent of her mate hit the omega like a wave, drowning her in it. She took in a deep breath, closing her eyes as she enjoyed the comfort it gave her.
The alpha cleared his throat making Evelyn snap back into reality. She looked at the man sitting on his office chair, intently looking back at her with his piercing blue eyes.
He wore a black T-shirt and blue jeans, his muscles straining under the thin fabric as he crossed his arms. Alphas are naturally strong and muscular. Their domineering aura is one of the things that make them stand out from other ranks but Evelyn knew there was something different about the man in front of her. He didn't look just domineering but also extremely dangerous to mess with. Evelyn clutched her sweater nervously. She didn't dare to make eye contact with the alpha because she knew that wouldn't be good for her.
He stood up making the omega take a step back as alarming words flashed through her mind.
The alpha paused, his eyes darkening at her reaction. "Stay there," He said, his voice sounding so deep and powerful that it made Evelyn almost cower in submission. He strode towards her, "What's your name omega?" He stood a foot away from the girl, hovering over her.
Evelyn kept her eyes on the ground, too nervous to look up. She felt her throat close, not interacting with people for a long time and her anxiety caused the girl to forget how to respond properly. She opened her mouth but no words came out.
"Answer me," The alpha said, his voice hard and demanding that it made Evelyn yelp.
"E-Evelyn," She stuttered out, eyes still trained on the floor.
"What were you doing in the forest?"
"I-I live t-there,"
"I have never seen you there before," He cocked an eyebrow at her.
"I..... Umm.... It's b-because I-I move around a l-lot," The girl peeked at the alpha through her long lashes but quickly regretted it and looked down as she found him staring back at her.
"Look at me," He commanded as he gripped her chin, making her look up at him. Evelyn felt herself shiver at the touch even though it was a cold and hurtful gesture.
"Do you know how to fight?"
Evelyn wanted to shake her head but the strong grip on her chin prevented it. "N-no," She whispered out, trying to make less eye contact as possible.
The alpha grunted in annoyance, "Do you even have a wolf? I can't sense it," He asked irritably.
Evelyn gulped not knowing how to respond. She doesn't have an inner wolf, it makes her a lot more weaker than other omegas because she can't shift and fight in her wolf form. She took in a shaky breath as the grip on her chin became tight. "I-I d-don't,"
"So you can't shift?"
Evelyn felt her vision blur as she replied, " N-no,"
The alpha frowned, dissatisfaction and anger crawling over his perfect features making the omega whimper. "Just how pathetic can you get any more than this, omega?" He leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear. Evelyn let her tears roll down as soon as she heard the words. She had expected this to happen but it still hurts. The girl bit her lips as she closed her eyes.
The man stepped back, rubbing his temple in irritation. "Where is your family?" He asked, frowning as he looked at the girl.
Evelyn took a step back, hugging herself to make her look smaller. "I-I....I'm an o-orphan,"
"Did they leave you or die? "
"D-died," The omega cried, recalling the memories of her father. She never talked about her father after that tragic incident because didn't have the courage to look back at the awful memories even though her nightmares always reminded her of that.
"Stop crying, you're annoying me," The alpha spat, making Evelyn yelp and step back. The smell of his anger filled the room, suffocating the omega. Evelyn whimpered as she bowed her head in submission. "Why are you crying, huh?" He said and harshly pulled on the omega's blonde locks, making her look up at him again. "I'm the one who got a pathetic creature like you as my mate. I'm the one who should be sad, so stop acting so dramatic."
Evelyn felt like everything just ended. The last flame of hope she hid in the corner of her heart effortlessly died from the cold words her mate threw at her.
Quickly wiping her tears, Evelyn took a deep breath in an attempt to stop crying. She knew she'll never be accepted. She'll never be anything important to him other than a burden that he has to bear for the rest of his life.
It hurt her to think that but she had accepted it as the truth.
"You can't be my Luna," The alpha stepped back, calm and unbothered as he said the words. Evelyn wanted to cry and beg the alpha to not reject her but she knew that'll only make the alpha hate her more. " A weak Luna means a weak Alpha and I'm not someone who wants to be seen as weak because my mate is an omega," Evelyn bit her lip as the alpha spoke. "My father did so much to build our Pack into one of the powerful Packs in the world and you becoming the Luna will destroy everything." The alpha spat frustrated while Evelyn flinched at every single word he said.
"S-sorry," Evelyn muttered instinctively. She doesn't even know why she was saying sorry. She didn't ask to be his mate, it wasn't something she could control but she hoped her apology would calm her mate at least a little bit.
The alpha scoffed, turning towards the omega with an annoyed look. "Sorry? What are you sorry about? Being so weak?" He strode towards the omega and roughly pulled her to flush against his strong chest.
Evelyn yelped and whimpered in his strong hold. She quickly looked down not wanting to make the alpha mad any more than he already is.
Getting irritated at the omega who refused to meet his eyes, the alpha gripped her chin and forcefully made her look up at him.
The omega stared at her mate, fear swimming in her bright green eyes. For a minute, she forgot what situation she was currently in as the captivating ocean blue eyes of the alpha stared back at her. She had to admit that the man was gorgeous, he had sharp and perfect features that would make people take a second glance at him. Evelyn could feel his breathing and heartbeat because of being so close to him. He felt so warm.....and she wanted to stay in his hold forever.
A light brush of fingers on her neck brought Evelyn back to reality. Her eyes widened as she looked at the alpha. " You have nothing useful to me other than your body," He whispered in her ear, leaning down to brush his nose against the crook of her neck. The alpha sighed, taking in the exotic scent of jasmine. His hands turned tighter around the omega as he brought her closer to him.
Evelyn didn't know what was happening. She was confused at her mate's behavior. The alpha seemed so mad just a minute ago.
'Is my pheromones affecting him?' She thought as the alpha continued to grip her tight. The cinnamon and honey scent of her mate was starting to affect her too as the time passed. She had to get him to come back to his senses before both of them do something absurd that they'll regret later.
"A-Alpha?" Evelyn whispered, afraid to raise her voice.
The shaky voice of the omega made the man snap back into reality. He immediately pushed the girl off of him, making her stumble back with a yelp.
The alpha's eyes turned cold as he rubbed his temples. He cursed under his breath before turning to the girl who was trembling, hugging herself. "Get out," He spat, his voice cold as ice. "And don't come in front of me unless I call for you,"
Evelyn didn't look up, her eyes stayed on the floor as she muttered a quiet 'yes' before sprinting to the door, eager to escape from the suffocating smell of the alpha's anger
in the room.
The omega broke down as soon as she got out of the room. She recalled every word her mate said to her.
'At least he didn't reject me,' She thought as a sigh slipped past her lips. 'I want to be strong.......I want to win my alpha's heart....'
"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.
Evelyn jumped in surprise when the alpha suddenly burst through the door. His angry eyes traveled around the room to find her standing on the balcony.The omega gulped, her fingernails digging into her delicate palm as she tried to make herself look small as possible. Keiran took a deep breath as he strode towards her. He reminded the omega of a predator that was ready to attack.The alpha gripped her hand, bringing her closer to him while Evelyn let out a helpless whimper. His gaze hovered over the girl like the shadow of a thunderstorm. Evelyn involuntarily shivered at the coldness of it. "Everything happened according to your wish, didn't it? " Keiran's voice was dangerously low. Evelyn could feel that the alpha was gritting his teeth when he said it. "You ruined everything. You. A pathetic creature like you made me put my Pack in danger." He seethed making the omega flinch.Eve
