Chapter 2 Carter

2. Carter

Walking back to the Silver Half Moon Pack House, I think about that sandwich I want so badly. I'm done with my homework, and the training went well. Even if I am an omega, if I keep training, I can be a local guard in town to help keep the peace between the rest of the omegas. As a result of helping someone, I have always felt good about myself at the end of the day. I sweat through all my clothes because of training. The orphanage won't be angry with me if I don't get caught. So long as the Alpha's daughter doesn't get mad at me, I'm safe.

The only time Vanessa has been a pain has been when I was around. Despite her bitching at me, she never told me what I did to make her act that way. It would not be possible for me to behave in the same manner toward others as she does toward me. Whatever I do to her mustn't be as bad as what she gives me. Opening the pack house door, I see everyone doing their usual "Hey, Carter!". "Is the training done?" the head Omega asks. "The training just ended." There are a lot of tasks to complete. Could you please let me know if the kitchen is open?" "Just link them and leave things as you usually do," she said with a smile. I had to bite my cheeks not to laugh when Vanessa got all bitchy and told me, The girl has an attitude neither a rogue nor a rogue would want to have bread with.

Upon reaching the kitchen, I discovered no more ham in the refrigerators, so I would need to ask the head kitchen for something else. Upon closing the door, I am hit by intense water pressure. While stumbling, I raise my hands to prevent myself from drowning. I notice Vanessa supplies the water when I look at where it comes from. Why do I not find this surprising? "Vanessa, please stop!" I begged, attempting not to get wet. She growls at me and throws a pan that hits my chest, causing me to bend over. "Who in the hell do you think you are talking to?" "I'm your Luna-to-be, so shut up, you omega!" Her voice rang out. Omegas are the lowest members of the pack, and we can be quickly tired, injured, and have a more inadequate immune system than a Warrior, Delta, Gamma, or Beta. Because of what she is referring to, being called Omega shouldn't feel like an insult, but it hurt me, and the pain in my chest felt like that frying pan had broken something. There was no end to the pain.

Vanessa and I were alone in the kitchen when I tried to get help. Hugging myself, I said, "Vanessa, it hurts.". "Please link to someone." I tried, but the pain kept me from concentrating. Vanessa walked up to me in heels, and before I could move, she kicked me in the shoulder. She stomped in the same spot where the frying pan struck my chest as I fell backward. The air I was breathing started to choke me. Despite the pain, I was forced to close my eyes when I saw black dots. When I opened my eyes, I was still lying on the kitchen floor, in a lot of pain in my chest.

My chest pain made me feel short of breath as I struggled to get up. My room was behind the kitchen, so I crawled to the laundry room. Many pack members know I am a half-breed; my mom was a human, and my dad was an omega. Their fated mateship ended when Mom died in childbirth. After losing my mom, my dad lost the will to live. The Alpha has told me that this is the case. Even though Alpha is the leader of my group, Luna can take over if Alpha is absent.

Climbing into the small space between the laundry machines, I crawl to the back. Behind them, the packing house's electrical room can be found. My room is this one. My mattress is beaten up, my clothes are on the other side, and my school books are on the other side. The packing house chores alone prevent me from getting a job, so how can I afford more things?

I had not seen how late it was outside, but it was clear that the outside was nothing to be concerned about. As I lay on my mattress, I hear the omegas doing their laundry and talking to one another.

"Did you hear about what happened in that nearby pack?" asked an omega. Another replied, "You mean the omega who has been referred to as a Luna stalker? That's right; I think her name is Cassidy. It was discovered that she had stolen from Luna's desk. She tried to take over for Luna, according to the Alpha. "Is that true?" Cassidy, I like that name. "Is it true?" she asks. There's something strange about this. Isn't that the same Omega who is wearing Luna's hand-me-downs? Is that the orphan whom the Alpha adopted? She is her assistant or secretary." Almost laughing, the omega replied, "Anyhow, I hear she doesn't have a wolf." Given her age, I think she does not have one yet. What would make her want to be the Luna to her old Alpha? In disgust, all three rested in silence.

From what I heard, Cassidy doesn't sound like the wrong person. Omegas are commonly used for others to the point where they don't matter, as if who they are doesn't matter. As far as I know, omega-3s are very prevalent. Nevertheless, we have feelings just like everyone else. "We've got to find Carter; the head omega hasn't heard from him." I heard the omegas run around. "You think something bad happened to our cute omega boy?" asked a young omega. It felt like my cheeks were getting warm. Cute? Me? My head shifts toward where they are talking so I can get a better perspective.

"Ugh, that boy has me tangled up in his little fingers.". I love how helpful and gentlemanly he is. Other guys could take notes. No matter what the deadline is, Carter is always there for us. If I am not chosen as his mate, I will choose him as my mate. Can you imagine having puppies with blue eyes? What about his thin, straight white hair? Omega from before said, "May the goddess bless my wolf when the time comes.".

Despite their hurried pace, they continued to talk about me. It made me feel bad that I had made everyone worry; I had no idea how much they cared for me. In my mind, I knew what I could do. But I didn't want the Omega to freak out and say, "Holly, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.". It wasn't long after eating that I fell asleep. It was entirely my fault. Can I handle the kitchen duty tomorrow morning on your behalf? It was a mind link.

Holly replied, "Oh, thank the goddess, you are fine.". Carter, what happened? You were away from the rest of the group at the back barbecue. Was there an incident? It must have been Vanessa,' She growled at the last question. I knew Holly well. She would speak with the Alpha, who would agree to punish Vanessa but then call me to have Vanessa punish me again. The day Luna took me into the pack, he hated me.

I replied, 'No, I'm alright; trust me, I'm fine. I lied to my friend, making her feel bitter as always. There is nothing I hate more than lying to Holly. It hurts me to keep these secrets from her. Is your stomach full? I can bring you some food. I asked, "Where are you?" When she replied, "I'll go to you," it felt like Karma was laughing at me because I had lied. 'Where are you again?" My eyes widened as I quickly tried to get up from the mattress, my only sanctuary from the outside hell where the bitch Vanessa ruled. As I held my chest, I looked around the room for my bathing suit. The packed house has a pool on the back, so I took an undershirt for now.

Arriving there, I was met with an apprehensive Holly; she placed a plate on the table behind her and took off to me, She hugged me, and the pain in my chest burned; you scared the living hell out of me," I returned her hug, "im sorry Holly, that wasn't my intention," She let go of me quickly, then dragged me to the plate. Eat as much as you want; you don't have to tell me the truth, but I don't like you hiding things from me. I heard Holly scold me, eating it all like a staffed man. I hear screaming coming from the other end of the backyard.
