"Roseline!!!!, head over here now, it's almost time for your first serving" the kitchen head called out to me as I scrambled away to the kitchen.
"The Alpha demands double portion today, will you be able to serve it at once or you'd go twice?" She asked me
"I can serve it once, ma" I replied and she motioned to the enormous food platter on the kitchen counter which made me wonder how many people will be able to finish it, even my father and aunt Claire never requested for this much.
I picked it up firmly and started moving in direction of the royal dining hall, I heard a familiar voice chattering away alongside with the Alpha's own. The guards at the entrance opened up the enormous gate as I go inside with the tray in my palms.
"Good morning, Alpha, this is your morning meal, I hope you enjoy it" I said with my head bowed as I was trained three weeks ago.
"You can drop the food and leave, Roseline" he said and I do as instructed, but not before trying to take a peep at the familiar stranger.
"What are you trying to do?" He barked as I shakingly fix my eyes to the ground, I know that one important rule here is you don't look at the Lycan king unless you're a soldier or you're being permitted to.
"Don't be so hard on her, darling" the lady said.
"I'm sorry, sir" I struggled to let out.
"You should be, now scram!!!" he said and I do.
Stepping into the training ground which is usually peaceful at this time because the warriors must have just finished their training. I took a seat and began to feel my wolf stirring up for the first time in years. I don't know why the only thought that came to my mind is why the stranger I met felt so familiar.
"Hey, Omega" Pius, the only friend I've had since I've been in the Lycan pack yelled across the field . I flipped him off but then he ignored
it and came running to me.
"You little thing, you got no respect huh?" He said as he nudged me.
"I'm not in your mood today, Pius, let me be" I said with a straight face.
"Oh, really, my baby is finally growing up, I see, tell me baby, why are you mean to me today? Or do you need anything?, Food, money, gold, anything at all, you know I'm more than capable." he said while pouting playfully.
"What I want is for you to let me be" I rudely replied.
"Really?" he said, taking a seat beside me. I gave no response and he spoke up again.
"This isn't about me, I see, what's wrong?, Hmm, you know you can always talk to me right?" He said with a worried face.
"Do you know who the Alpha's guest is?" I asked and turned to face him.
"You should know warriors aren't allowed in the palace except in urgent situations, but do you want me to find out that for you?" He enquired.
"No, I don't want to stress you, it's not like it's important anyways" I said, shrugging it off.
"You see, as my friend, I'll tell you the first code of a warrior which is to never doubt your instincts, if you sense something, there is a probability that it is.." he said before I cut him off.
"Don't bother yourself for real, I don't know why I'm being like this anyways, probably it's one of my mood swings" I said trying to give an excuse.
"It's okay if you say so" he said with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Anyways I heard there's a letter in the mail box addressed to one Roseline Gerald, it has a royal stamp on it and you're the only one I know with that sweet name" he said making me pout at him, then I pause for a second realising a letter has actually been sent to me, I stood up and was about to about to run when Pius caught me.
"Not so fast, my darling, I'm sure you haven't eaten today and running like that to the post-office will drain you, that's if you get there without collapsing" he said in concern.
"I'll be fine" I replied.
"No, you won't, because you look so pale right now like you might faint anytime soon. He worriedly said.
I suddenly began to hyperventilate, sounds began to feel distant from my hearing, I felt as though I was crumbling inside and a whole new being was about to take over my body.
"Roseline! What's happening to you?" I faintly heard Pius saying. He began to shake me as I pulled away instinctively.
I tried speaking, but all that came out was a soft howl, my hands began to transform into paws and my bones began to crack.
"Oh goodness, you're experiencing your first shift" I heard Pius saying faintly as I felt his hands on my already transformed shoulder,and on impulse, whatever I was then, gripped his hand and flung him off.
"Oophhh,that's too much strength for an omega wolf" I heard Pius speak before seeing him in my new form.
I felt my thigh bone snap painfully and I let out a sharp cry which turned out to be a ground-shaking howl that made hundreds of soldiers run towards me.
"She's not a rogue!" Pius shouted and they contemplated for a moment.
"A wolf whose ears are white?, Never seen one in this pack" one of them countered him immediately and the other warriors click their gun while I staggered from exhaustion and try hard to stay conscious.
"Isn't that the Moon twins bearer?" another warrior asked.
"What do you mean by that?" The first warrior inquired.
"How dare you point guns at my personal maid?" The Alpha's voice echoed through the training ground as they all still and the cloud became darker.
As I began to loose my consciousness, I faintly saw the Alpha moving close to me with a dark smile before saying "You're the omega with the prophecy, aren't you?".
I tried answering but then, my vision got blurry and I'm met with darkness.
