"You're my mate?!" Tristian laughs as if this is some big joke. My heart aches and all I can do is coward under his glare. He looks at me like I'm nothing. The hatred in his eyes makes my eyes burn.
"I-I'm sorry." I choke out and he only scoffs in disgust. My weak answer must make him hate me. "I-I didn't... I didn't mean to..."
He cuts me off. "It doesn't matter. Dahlia will be my Luna. You're nothing to me." His next words cut through my heart. "I, Tristian Parker, Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, reject you Daisy Summers as my mate and Luna."
Pain runs through my body and I fall to my knees. Tears stream down my face while he just turns away without a care in the world. I expected this the moment I found out he was my mate. He was my twin sister's boyfriend and I was merely the lowest-ranking omega in the pack.
"... I, Daisy Summers, accept your rejection..."
____________________________
Daisy is the black sheep of her family, an omega born in a beta family. She is never shown love and is seen as a plain white daisy compared to her beautiful twin sister, Dahlia.
So when she turns 18, she hopes to have not only a loving mate but a wolf as well. However, she finds out her mate is the alpha of her pack, Tristian Parker. Not only is he Dahlia's boyfriend, but he's also one of her biggest bullies. After being harshly rejected, she has no choice but to accept it.
Daisy only continues to be bullied and being mentally weakened from the rejection, she takes drastic measures alerting Tristian.
Will Tristian come to love his mate? Will Daisy even let him in? Or is it too late?
1: Daisy the Useless Omega
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?
2: Know Your Place
Daisy
I turn around as my twin sister storms into the room. Her blue eyes are dark and she looks ticked off. Dread rushes through me and I take a step back.
"Get over here, little bitch!" Dahlia snarls and walks up to me grabbing my arm. I flinch as her grip is hard and her nails big through my hoodie sleeves.
"B-Beta Dahlia!" Samuel stammers and puts his hands up. "Daisy's been here the whole time! I can vouch for her."
Samuel is always trying to defuse the situation, but it always has the opposite effect on Dahlia. "Oh, shut up! And that's future Luna to you, Omega trash." She snaps.
I then find myself getting dragged away and I shoot Samuel a hard look. Nothing good will come from him following us. I don't want him to get in trouble either.
She takes me into a bathroom and locks the door. "Listen here, useless scum." She shoves me hard against the wall. "My birthday will be this Saturday and Tristian is holding a birthday celebration for me. Don't EVEN think about crashing it. Stay in your room if you don't want to embarrass yourself. Understood?"
I hesitate at what she says. Does she not remember that it's also my birthday too? Before long I'm blind with pain as Dahlia slaps me hard. I stare at her a bit dazed while she scowls.
"Are you deaf or stupid?! Answer the question, your bitch! I'm going to be your future Luna and you're treating me with this much disrespect already?!" Before I can say anything in response, Dahlia slaps me hard again this time using his nails. "Now, Omega trash!"
I flinch and touch my cheek as I feel something wet on it. "Y-yes... I understand." I murmur before I gasp out when she punches me hard in the stomach. I fall onto my knees and try to catch my breath.
Dahlia laughs out like this is so hilarious. "That's exactly where you belong. On your knees either looking at the floor or up at me." As I look up, I see a cold smirk on her face. "Know your place. Learn it well if you want to survive in this pack."
With that Dahlia spins on her heels and walks out. I pant softly and close her eyes fighting as I collect myself. This isn't the worst I've been through. It's going to be alright.
"... Grit your teeth and endure... you'll be loved soon," I whisper to myself as I stand up. I wash my face and look at myself in the mirror. She clawed my cheek. I'll have two dark bruises soon as well. I don't even want to see my stomach right now.
I pull myself together and step out of the bathroom. When I turn to go down the hallway, I'm face to face with Tristian Parker. I freeze up and quickly lower my eyes. "G-greetings, Alpha," I murmur and stare at his feet.
Tristian says nothing and merely stands there observing me. The awkward silence starts to get to me but I'd rather be dismissed by him or just walked past than try and leave. He never hits me but others do so I've just made it into a habit.
"... heh..." He lets out the faintest of laughs. "Know your place... I guess you are finally learning." He steps closer to me and soon his scent is all I can focus on. He smells clean and fresh like forest trees.
Tristian is no better than anyone else as he knows what's going on and yet doesn't stop it. His indifference stabs at my heart just as much as the beatings and harsh words I receive from everyone else.
"... I hate pathetic weaklings the most. However, there is a place for wolves like you." Tristian continues and I keep my eyes down. "You all cook the best meals and you keep the pack houses clean. For now, I believe everyone is grateful for."
Where is he going with this? He grabs me by my chin and makes me look at him in the eye. His handsome face is enough to make me blush and feel bashful but the cool look in his eyes makes my heart sink.
"However, that is all you're useful for. You won't be able to climb out of the hole you find yourself in because that is where you belong. Don't get any ideas." He lets go of my chin. "If you ever find your mate, I hope for your sake it's with someone of your rank. Otherwise, you're setting yourself up for failure and rejection."
With that Tristian makes a dismissal motion with his hand and walks away. His words ring in my ears and I clench a hand over my heart.
What if that happens? What's if he's right? If I get rejected, then what will I do? I won't have anything to look forward to. Rejection for a low-ranked wolf like me means I could lose my wolf forever. I'd become nothing more than a human.
Tears start to burn in the corners of my eyes and I hurry off to a place I can be alone. I've found a spot out in the woods where I can get a good cry out.
I hurry out making sure not to be seen and make it over to my spot. It's by the river and I can easily see the sky from my favorite sitting spot on a rock.
As I sit down, I bring my knees to my chest and let out faint sobs. My fears come rushing out and I just sit there crying for a good long while.
Once I finally get everything out, I wipe my face and look up at the sky. It had been sunset when I left so now it was dark. Looking up at the sky and all the stars, a small smile forms on my face.
I have to cling to my hope. It's all I have at this point. I can't fail! I feel a rush of determination and nod to myself. My mate will accept me! There's no other option! I'll just have to prove to them that I'm not just plain old Daisy but a capable and sweet she-wolf!
3: Preparing for a Big Celebration
Daisy
For the next few days, everyone is getting ready for a big birthday celebration for Dahlia. Only a few fellow Omegas look at me with pity as they know I'm her twin sister, but I don't let it get to me.
I'm looking forward to finally being free from this mundane life of mine. The only way that can happen is by finding my mate. I'm a mix of nerves and excitement. I can't wait to meet him! Most of all though, I can't wait to meet my wolf.
If I have one, tomorrow will be my last day to meet her. What will she be like? Will she be small and meek like me? Or strong and bold unlike me? I want to find out her name most of all. I just hope she likes me and won't be disappointed in me.
For now, I'm helping the other omegas bake the massive cake. With so many pack members, a big cake is necessary but isn't this a bit too much? It has six tiers and the decorations... it looks more like a celebration for...
Ah! Alpha Tristian must believe Dahlia truly is his mate so it's going to be a celebration for her becoming our Luna too. Dread overcomes me. If she becomes the Luna, then my life really will be hell. Some could say it already is but it would only get ten times worse.
"Daisy! Will you help me with the icing?" Samuel calls out. He's a bit hopeless with cooking but he means well. To make sure he doesn't get in trouble, I always help him out.
When I turn around, I see him wearing a sheepish grin. "Of course." I walk over and start to mix the icing myself. Strawberry buttercream, Dahlia's favorite. It does smell good but I can't say it's something I prefer. I'm more of a whipped icing person as it isn't as sweet.
"You're great at everything, Daisy. I wish I had just a portion of your talent in these areas." Samuel sighs softly. I can't help but smile. He's an adorable young man.
"You'll learn soon enough. For now, just watch and see what you can learn from me." I tell him and continue to whip the icing.
I feel people staring at me and whispering. "They make a nice pair." I hear someone say but I ignore them.
A lot of Omegas get rejected if their mates are high-ranking wolves so they tend to have a chosen mate in one of their own. Samuel is sweet and all but he's like a little brother to me. That would just be so weird and gross.
"Just ignore them, Sammy," I murmur and finish up with the icing. "There you go!" I look up at him and pause. His expression is unreadable as he just stares down at me. "...?" I reach up and pat his cheek. "Get back to work," I add and go back to my station.
I feel his eyes follow me and frown. What's wrong with him? I know he had a small crush on me when he was younger. Does he still have it? I shake my head and focus on the task. I have to create flowers in many different colors to decorate the cake.
***
After we Omegas have dinner, I start to head home. I wave to everyone as we go our separate ways and am soon alone walking in the dead of night.
As I make my way home, I hear leaves crunching around me and I tense. It seems that they're waiting for me to be alone again. I quicken my pace and hear multiple footsteps around me.
I start to run now feeling panicked and I know now I'm screwed. They always catch me and there's nothing I can do but I always run anyway. If by some luck I can escape their hands, I'll run forever.
However, a hand suddenly grabs me and I'm thrown up against a tree. I wince as my back hits the tree hard. Sadly those bruises never seem to heal.
"Why are you, little one? We only want to play!" I shudder at that gross and dark tone in
Standing in front of me is the Gamma male of our pack, Grayson Willams along with his two goons. With his dark gray eyes and black hair, he's one of my biggest bullies but he takes things too far.
I can handle being degraded and beaten. I've built up a tolerance for it over the years so no problem there. Grayson on the other hand... he's in a league of his own.
"Mhm... I bet even underneath these baggy clothes, you're a sweet treat. You are Dahlia's sister after all... you must have a banging body." He gets too close to me and I shrink back. His scent is revolting like a dead animal that's been out in the sun way too long.
"If you don't find your mate, I'll gladly take you on, babe." He runs his hands down by the sides and I feel so disgusted. "I bet you'll taste wonderful." He leans in to force a kiss but I turn my head in defiance. His eyes flash and turn dark making my heart sink.
"You little bitch." He forces my face forward and kisses me harshly. I try to shove him away but he's too strong. Tears start to run down my face but I bite down on his tongue after he forces it into my mouth.
Once he pulls away and slaps me hard. I fall to the ground. "You dirty slut!" He snarls and starts to kick me in the stomach. I let out an airy gasp and curl up into a ball.
The goons join in getting a kick out of my pain and suffering. It feels like hours but I know it's only minutes but they eventually stop their assault on me.
"Just you wait! You're the one who seduced me first so you better be ready, slutty bitch!" Grayson snaps and then storms off. I lay there trembling and close my eyes tightly.
Why does it always have to be me? If I was only meant to suffer, why was I even born? I slowly gather the strength to stand up and stumble off to my house. I go through the back door but my mother is there in the kitchen.
She takes one look at me and scoffs before going back to the living room. Of course, she doesn't care. What did I expect? I go off to my room and lock myself inside. As I curl up into a ball, I pray to the Moon Goddess once more.
"Please... let my mate love me... please get me out of this hell." With that, I fall asleep hoping tomorrow will be a good day.
4: Meeting Naomi
Daisy
I start to stir and curl up as my whole body aches. The beating I got from Grayson and his goons took a toll on my already tired body. I wouldn't be surprised if it was well past sunrise.
'Wake up, Daisy.' A calm voice makes me shoot up. I look around frantically and then frown. No one's in my room. Did I imagine that voice?
'It's ok, sweetheart.' That voice soothes me but I only hold myself tightly. 'Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.'
"W-who's there?" I stammer out and look around still. Is someone playing a trick on her?
'My name is Naomi. I'm your wolf.' That makes me pause and blink several times. My wolf? I have one? My heart starts to pound in my chest.
"A-are you really my wolf?" I ask hopefully. "I-I've always wanted one... so that I wouldn't be seen as completely useless." I look down. I feel like I'm talking to myself.
'You're far from useless, Daisy. You're a very special wolf. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.' Her voice is so soothing yet strong. 'We have a very busy day ahead of us so let's get going.'
Get going? I hesitate and remember what Dahlia said to me. If I leave the house, won't I get punished? Dahlia can get mean and ugly when she's pissed off.
'Don't worry about your sister. Her wolf will want to search for her mate too. Let's see if ours is close by.' Naomi tells me. I can feel her getting antsy in my head.
Of course, she'd want to search for her mate too. I start to feel excited as well. "Ok... let me get washed up." I had been too upset last night to wash up so I felt gross and sore.
'Go ahead. We have all the time in the world to find him.' Naomi says that but I can she's getting impatient. I get up and grab a new hoodie and sweatpants. Then I go out to the bathroom and jump into the shower.
My body is frail and covered in faint scars and dark bruises. My parents say I'm way too big and wasteful so when I look at myself in the mirror, I see a chubby yet frail girl staring back at me.
As I dry off, I take note of something else. A dark crescent moon-shaped mark is on my shoulder. It appeared when I was eight and nothing I did made it go away so I kept it hidden. It reminds me of a tattoo but I've never gotten one.
Otherwise, I'm just a beaten girl who's so pale that I might as well be a ghost. My hair doesn't help either and other than the bruises, my purple eyes are the only spark of color I have on me.
I throw on my clothes and Naomi huffs. 'You shouldn't hide that mark. It proves just how special you are.' This confuses me as I don't know what she means.
"Pardon?" I wait but Naomi doesn't respond. I sigh and brush my damp hair before walking downstairs. The house is empty but I see the special decorations my parents must have put up for Dahlia.
Envy and sadness rush through me. Why can't they love me as well? I was just a baby so I didn't mean to almost kill Mother! I also didn't ask to be born an omega.
I let out a sigh and walk out the back door. I don't see anyone around and I realize they must be starting the birthday celebration by now. The sun is high in the sky.
'Let's go, Daisy. Hopefully, we will meet our destiny.' I nod and start to walk around. I don't see anyone around but I can hear faint music coming from the main pack house. That loud music always gives me a headache but it's Dahlia's favorite so of course it gets played.
As I walk, I find myself taking note of so many things. Has everything always looked this colorful? Has everything always smelled this strong? It's like my senses have intensified since last night. Is this all because of Naomi?
My feet start to take me towards the pack house. "We shouldn't go there," I whisper to Naomi. "Dahlia doesn't want to see me. No one does. We'll just get in trouble."
'We have to go there!' Naomi sounds restless and I can almost see her pacing around in my head. 'Don't you feel it? Our mate is there!'
Our mate? My heart starts to pound and I breathe in all the scents. I can barely tell any of them apart but one stands out. One that's fresh like the trees around me.
Why is it so familiar? My heart continues to pound as I quicken my pace. The music only gets louder and I see some people outside. I freeze and then find behind some trees. The fear of being caught is stronger than the chance of meeting my mate. How pathetic can I be?
I peek out and watch when walk back inside. Then I see him and everything slows. 'Mate!' Naomi howls in joy, but nothing but dread fills my heart.
My eyes lock with a pair of hazel orbs and I feel butterflies in my stomach even if I shouldn't. Those eyes widen as well as I see him mouth 'mate' but all I can do is spin around and run off.
The trees blur around me and I've never felt so free before. However, tears burn my eyes. Why? Why is this happening to me? Why is it him?
Why is my wolf screaming 'mate' when the man that stood there alone was Tristian Parker?
5: Rejected by my Mate
Daisy
I run for a long time and don't hear anyone following me luckily. I stumble and roll down a hill curling up to protect myself. I feel like screaming or crying, I'm not sure which but I know what's going to happen.
'Daisy, what's wrong? Why did you run away from our mate?' Naomi asks worriedly. I guess since she just came to me, she doesn't know how Tristian treats me.
"It won't work... he's Dahlia's boyfriend... and the alpha! He won't ever..." I shake my head and hold myself. "He's going to reject me. There's nothing else to it."
I close my eyes tightly and try not to cry. What kind of sick joke is this? Why would the Moon Goddess choose him as my mate? Was everyone right? Am I just meant to be punished for someone I couldn't even control as a baby?
I hear leaves crunching and freezing as that fresh scent reaches my nose. 'Mate! Give him a chance, Daisy!' I can picture her wagging her tail in delight. Too bad she's going to be thoroughly disappointed.
I stand up to run again but before I can take a step, my arm is grabbed. I shiver as his touch alone is enough to send sparks throughout my body.
I hesitate and then finally meet his eyes. Tristian's eyes are dark amber and I figure this must be his wolf in control. "Mate." He growls and pulls me into him.
"You smell so good, dear..." He purrs in my ears and keeps me close. I gasp out and shiver while Naomi yips and howls in my head.
"P-please let me go," I whisper. A moment later his demeanor changes and his body tenses. A snarl escapes his lips as if he's suddenly displeased.
"You're not Sunny." His wolf growls low. Then I'm shoved away so I stumble forward and use a tree to catch myself. "You're not mine!"
I hesitate before looking back again. His eyes are hazel again and my blood runs cold. I've never seen that look on his face before.
"You're my mate?!" Tristian laughs as if this is some big joke. My heart aches and all I can do is coward under his glare. He looks at me like I'm nothing. The hatred in his eyes makes my eyes burn.
"I-I'm sorry." I choke out and he only scoffs in disgust. My weak answer must make him hate me. "I-I didn't... I didn't mean to..."
He cuts me off. "It doesn't matter. Dahlia will be my Luna. You're nothing to me." His next words cut through my heart. "I, Tristian Parker, Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, reject you Daisy Summers as my mate and Luna."
Pain runs through my body and I fall to my knees. Tears stream down my face while he just turns away without a care in the world. I expected this the moment I found out he was my mate. He was my twin sister's boyfriend and I was merely the lowest-ranking omega in the pack.
"... I, Daisy Summers, accept your rejection..." I hear Naomi shout in protest in my mind, but I start to fall forward the pain of rejection too much for my tired and broken-down body.
The last time I remember is Tristian looking up with a shocked look on his face. Why is he so surprised? Did he not expect me to accept? As my vision darkens, I see him rush over but I don't feel anything as I black out.
***
When I wake up, I'm in an unfamiliar room. I let out a small groan and put a hand on my head as it feels like it's busting. Where am I? I look around and notice my hand is connected to an IV. Is this the pack doctor's house? Looking over to a window, I see it's nighttime.
"Finally awake, huh?" I tense at the sudden voice and sit up quickly. Leaning against the wall and watching me with those hazel eyes is Tristian.
It all comes rushing back to me but I only bow my head. "I-I'm sorry to cause you trouble, Alpha." I stammer out and shake a bit.
Tristian stays silent for a long time which makes me feel uneasy. When he finally does, it's something I expect. "... Don't ever speak of our former bond to anyone. Is that understood?"
I close my eyes and nod. "Y-yes, Alpha," I say without looking at him. Another long stretch of silence goes on. I hear him click his tongue and sigh.
"I've already announced to everyone Dahlia is my Luna," Tristian says and my heart sinks. I feel my eyes burn but I force myself not to cry. "I have already marked her too. Don't try and cause any trouble if you know what's good for you."
So fast but I didn't expect anything less. He only waited to see who his mate was anyway so the choice was easy for him. Perfect Dahlia or useless Daisy? Dahlia always wins.
"Understood, Alpha," I say and Tristian lets out a breath of relief. As he goes to the door, I speak up again. "... When can I leave the pack?" He stops and I feel the rage erupting out of him instantly.
"Leave...?" Why is he so angry? When I look up, I immediately shrink back and tremble. "With that weak and useless body of yours? Don't even think about it!"
I then gasp out as Tristian suddenly rushes over to me and pins me to the bed my arms over my head. His eyes turn dark amber again. "Don't even think about it, Omega. You're going to stay here where you'll stay safe."
Fear runs through me as tears start to drip down my face. "I-I won't be safe here..." I whisper and flinch when he growls low. When I try to look away, he forces me to look back at him.
"Don't EVER talk back to me." His wolf snarls and I try to cower away tears blurring my vision. "Stay put. If I hear you trying to leave, I'll throw you into the dungeons."
I shiver in fear and look away. The dungeons are for those pack members who betrayed the pack and where they're punished and tortured.
Tristian gets off of me and storms away. I curl up into a ball and start to sob. Why is he doing this to me? He already rejected me so why do I have to stay?
6: As it Should Be
Tristian
This day hasn't gone as planned at all. It was just another day, sure, but my love could finally find her mate. I was hoping it was me but my wolf, Silas, didn't respond. I know he loves Sunny, Dahlia's wolf, but she isn't our mate. Then everything started to go wrong.
First, I did find my mate. It should have been a wonderful and amazing experience. Instead, it was a nightmare. I locked eyes with her and immediately knew it was Daisy, the useless Omega in our pack. Silas momentarily was blinded by the joy but even he knew she wasn't going to be a strong Luna for our pack.
Second, I rejected her. It was obvious to me and I did it heartlessly. I never felt sorry for her as weakness in our pack needed to be weeded out. I knew it could have killed her but so be it. Then she accepted it. The pain I felt in my chest was agonizing and I realized what I just put her through.
Third, I looked back afterward. Seeing Daisy faint made my heart ache and I caught her. Once she was so close, I got lost in her scent. How could someone smell so good? It was a mix of fruits and flowers and I never thought I'd love it so much. However, I also noticed how small and skinny she was. She was so fragile and I found myself racing to the pack doctor. I lied about what happened and acted as a good and concerned Alpha to his pack members.
Fourth, when I left Daisy to recover, returned to the party, and announced Dahlia as my Luna, I felt sick to my stomach. I always loved Dahlia, her spirit, her beauty, and most of all, her body. However, when I kissed her, I felt like I was going to throw up. I took her upstairs and marked her as my chosen mate with a bite to her neck, but I couldn't get going. Dahlia even noticed this, but I brushed it off. "Let's continue this later." That was all I said before leaving.
Lastly, after a long run in the woods, I ended up back at the pack doctor's place and stayed by Daisy's side. What's wrong with me? I already rejected her and she accepted it so why didn't it feel real?
Daisy looks so small in the bed. Her silver hair shines bright in the moonlight as does her ghostly skin. She has nice qualities but then she is Dahlia's twin so she has to. Dahlia is gorgeous and perfect. Daisy is pretty but nowhere near perfection.
While I'm deep in my thoughts, I hear a small groan and look over to Daisy. Her purple eyes shine even brighter in the moonlight and I pause feeling breathless. She's useless in the sunlight but the moonlight suits her well. Like she's a true creature of the night.
What am I thinking? Dahlia is my mate now! "Finally awake, huh?" I suddenly speak which seems to make her jump and look at me. Her purple eyes are wide but then I see the light in them dim which feels like a punch in the gut.
She bows her head submissively and quickly stammers, "I-I'm sorry to cause you trouble, Alpha." Her small body is shaking like a leaf. I just watch her now unsure of what to say.
No, this needs to be strictly business! "... Don't ever speak of our former bond to anyone. Is that understood?" I finally say and watch as she closes her eyes.
"Y-yes, Alpha," she keeps her head down and won't meet my eyes. I clench my fists and will her to look at me. I want her to regret accepting the rejection. I never thought she would do it.
Finally, I click my tongue and sigh. 'She really is weak. I don't even sense her wolf anymore.' Silas says in disgust. Even if we rejected each other, our wolves should still have that bond. I'm taken aback but I just continue to speak.
"I've already announced to everyone Dahlia is my Luna. I have already marked her too. Don't try and cause any trouble if you know what's good for you." I see tears forming in the corners of her eyes. I'm impressed that she isn't crying at this point.
"Understood, Alpha," At least she agrees and answers smoothly so I let out a breath of relief. "... When can I leave the pack?" When Daisy asks me that question, I stop and I feel my blood boil.
"Leave...?" Daisy looks up finally but then shrinks down fear in her eyes. "With that weak and useless body of yours? Don't even think about it!"
Before I can react, Silas takes over and rushes over to her. He pins her arms over her head and glares down. "Don't even think about it, Omega. You're going to stay here where you'll stay safe."
Now she's afraid! Tears drip down her cheeks and make her purple eyes shimmer. "I-I won't be safe here..." she whispers only to flinch when Silas growls low and forces her to look him in the eye when she looks away.
"Don't EVER talk back to me." Silas snarls and she cowers the best she can underneath us. "Stay put. If I hear you trying to leave, I'll throw you into the dungeons."
Even I'm shocked by his words and Daisy shivers in fear. Silas lets her go and storms out of the room. I can hear her faint sobs, but I can tell he's pissed.
'Silas, calm down!' I say but he goes straight for Dahlia's room. When we get there, we pull Dahlia close and drag her upstairs. Once he pins her down against the bed, her blue eyes show nothing but desire.
I compare her to Daisy and find Dahlia more attractive. Back in control, I kiss her hard and let out a growl. "Ooh... want it rough tonight? Yes please!" She purrs against my lips and I finally feel something stir in my pants. Finally!
Our clothes end up on the floor and I find myself pounding deep inside of her all night making her moan and scream out. Our bond is only just broken so I bet Daisy feels this right now. 'Good!' Silas growls in anger. Right now, we're angry enough to cause her great agony.
Everything is as it should be. Why should I feel any amount of guilt? Dahlia is my mate! Not that useless mutt.
7: Dahlia the Luna
Daisy
So my twin sister is the Luna of the pack now. If we were close, I would be overjoyed for her. If he wasn't my mate... if he didn't reject me for her... if she didn't hate my guts... if my life wasn't getting worse... I'd be so happy for her.
Instead, I'm getting bullied so much more because I'm just a disgrace. I'm also dealing with the worst feelings and pains ever.
That night he left me after threatening me, I felt everything that was going on. The pain I felt was terrible and I didn't know what it was. Naomi explained to me later that it was because Tristian was mating with another.
'Even if the rejection broke the bond, I didn't reject Silas and he didn't reject me so part of it is still there.' Naomi explained. 'It will fade with time but for now, it will hurt. I'm so sorry, Daisy.'
Her presence seems weaker now but I'm happy I didn't lose my wolf because of the rejection. She told me not to try and shift yet because it wasn't time. When will it be time then?
Back to Dahlia: she is a decent leader and everyone loves her. I will give her that. However, no one has any respect for us Omegas. We do a lot for the pack but no one ever sees it. They'd all live in filth if it wasn't for us. They'd all probably starve too even if cooking the kills isn't always necessary.
"Hey, bitch!" I hear Dahlia call out. I'm cleaning the kitchen right now so I look up from the sink. "There you are..." she walks up to me, her mate from Tristian on display. It's like she's showing it off on purpose, but I know he would never tell her that we were mates.
"Yes, Luna?" I set the plate I was washing down and turn to face her. The next moment I'm dazed and on the floor. The side of my face aches and feels wet. I touch it carefully and see my fingers dyed red. What just happened?
Dahlia has her hand up and even she looks stunned. She must have slapped me and since I'm on the floor it was a hard one. Maybe I hit my head? I don't know but my ears are ringing.
"... Oh please. I didn't hit you that hard." Dahlia rolls her eyes. "How can someone be that weak? Stop acting and stand up!" She stomps her foot and I'm reminded of a four-year-old Dahlia.
"I apologize... Luna..." I pull myself up and feel dizzy. I hold the sink for support and close my eyes. She shuffles on her feet and mutters to herself but I don't hear her.
"What the hell is wrong with you...?" Her voice sounds closer and I open my eyes. She's right next to me and I almost see a look of concern. I silently laugh at the thought because I know she hates my guts.
"I'm ok, Luna. I just skipped dinner and breakfast this morning." I say. When was the last time I ate? Every time they sleep together, I end up in agony and throwing up because of how gross it feels.
Dahlia clicks her tongue and shakes her head. "You cook the meals yet you don't sneak a bite?" She sighs. "Wash up and get better. You'll be serving Gamma Grayson in the future so you'll need to learn."
I freeze. No... not Grayson. If I start to serve him, he'll be able to do whatever he wants and I know what he wants. He used to desire Dahlia, but since he couldn't have her, he targeted me. Twins we may be but I'm nothing like Dahlia. Nothing about me is desirable! I'm just a skinny and sun-sensitive freak!
I suddenly grab her arm. "Please... no," I whisper and tremble. "Please don't, Dahlia... please." I close my eyes tightly. Anything but that. I know he has dirty desires for me for whatever reason. I can't be alone with him like that.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Dahlia grabs my hand and tries to get it off but I hold on for dear life. I have to make her understand.
"Please, Dahlia... I know you hate me... but please! Not Grayson! He'll force himself on me the second he gets a chance! He already does!" I sound desperate and hate myself for it. "Please, Dahlia! I'm your sister! Please don't..."
Her blue eyes darken at my words. "Unhand me, you filthy Omega trash!" Dahlia snaps and shoves me away. Her voice is high-pitched and enraged. The back of my head hits the counter and I drop like a rock.
My vision turns white and I lay there unmoving. I hear a muffled voice but I can't register who it is. Then I feel rushed footsteps leave my side and I realize I'm alone now.
I wonder if Dahlia cares enough to get me help. I close my eyes and scoff. I faintly hear a voice calling for me in my head but I can't hear them as my world turns black.
