Aqua the Rejected Omega

Aqua Louise Pov

Walking down the pack hallway, I can't help but feel happy and excited that my dream is on the verge of coming true, the only reason why I have been enduring every cruelty and brutality that the world has faced me with, both from my family and from the pack, is the thought of meeting my Mate.

The time for all my pains to alleviate is already at the door, being an Omega is not only a curse but a forbidden for the Crescent moon pack. Being born as an Omega is nobody's wish but they already made it seem like a taboo is not like we created ourselves, do we? I was still in my little fantasy when I mistakenly bump into one of the elites, "Sorry" I muttered

"Sorry for yourself" He hissed angrily and walk off but not before glaring daggers at me, I ignored him shaking my head and I continued on my journey, well that is one of the disadvantages of being an Omega they treat you how they like, not caring if you are right and they are wrong.

I'm not an orphan but looking at me an orphan is quite better than me, my parents gave me out as a servant at the packhouse, cherishing only Rihanna my kid sister, she's the apple of their eyes, while I'm the rejected one, actually, I don't care because I'm already used to their partial way of treating us I can only blame my fate for that, I'm twenty-one but still searching for my mate my sister is going to turn nineteen soon but she already knows how to change into her wolf form, while I'm only a weakling, I only know that my wolf is Scarlet that's her name, but we have never transformed which I know will not happen.

Actually, if beauty can change identity then I'd change from Omega to a strong wolf, beauty is one of the valuable gifts I got, yes! you can't walk me by without out double staring at me but sincerely my beauty had gotten me nowhere because irrespective of how I look I'm still a weakling and they treat all of us Like one, My father is one of the members of Crescent Moon Pack Council, I can say that is why he loathes me above everything I could ever imagine, my mom isn't different either.

My father sees me as a disgrace, he said I brought nothing but disgrace to him, he always says that the Council children are known to be a strong wolf but I am nothing but a burden and for that reason, he gave me out like unwanted garbage that he wanted to discard, and I became a servant at the packhouse coupled with several errands I do run for people.

I sighed when I looked at my surroundings and realized that I arrived at the packhouse already, it's still early in the morning so I had to join the servant in preparing the food, today is going to be a long day as tomorrow is the awaited festival of the ritual of the moon, it comes once in three months and it's the only time the Omegas are given the privilege to scent there mate. Well, all the Omegas are excited including me, finally tomorrow I will get to meet my prince charming who will cherish and love me eternally. Is not like I don't have a crush of course I do and he is no other than our Alpha, I've come to love him dearly but I don't dare air it out, Alpha Zethro is not the kind of Alpha you mess with, and I don't pray for him to start with me, "What if he turns out to be your mate?" My wolf ask me and I scoff,

"Well I'm careful of the things I wish for but if he turns out to be then I'd pray he loves and accepts me and I promise to be loyal" I replied.

"Quickly take this tea to the Alpha he's in the dining hall" Madam pecki the head maid ordered me handing a tray containing a cup of tea to me, I nodded and carried the tray from her and walk of gently, to the dining room is where the head Alpha who is Alpha Donas the father of Alpha Zethro, with Zethro's mother the Luna, use to have their meal. Alpha Donas is a calm Alpha but Zethro is nothing like him as he is more of his mother.

I carried the tray carefully as I neared the dining room but Alpha Zethro's girlfriend suddenly bumped into me making all the content pour on her dress. Gosh, can my day get any better when I stop my clumsiness? "I'm....s" I didn't get to finish the sentence before a stinging slap landed on my cheeks, I was still recovering from that when another landed on my left cheek blurring my sight as I staggered back and fell on my butt but she neared me and I kept on drawing back, my back is finally against the wall no place to run to as I closed my eyes waiting for the unexpected when suddenly I heard......

''Enough!" It's Alpha Zethro's voice

"Didn't you see what she did to me!?" Claudia his girlfriend shouted back

"One more word from you Claudia and you won't like me" He said to her

"I'm your girlfriend, why the hell are you defending her!" Claudia shouted

"Claudia, that's enough!"

"No, it's not!" She fired back.

"Tell me why are you siding with her?"

"I'm not siding with nobody Claudia she spilled it on you unintentionally now let it go..."

"I'm not yet done with you" She glared at me and walked out stomping her feet hard on the floor while going out.

I sighed and wanted to stand up when I saw Alpha Zethro stretch forth his hand for me to take, I blush as my face turned red, slowly I place my hand on his stretched palm and he pulled me up, "I'm sorry" He muttered to me and walk out, I was shocked, my crush just helped me and not only that he also apologize to me for his girlfriend deeds "isn't today colorful?" I ask my wolf smiling inwardly

"It is" She replied, I dusted my clothe and turned to see Alpha Donas smiling at me, I bowl to him and smile back, "Get this place cleaned up and stop being clumsy" The Luna's voice snapped at me, and I flinched back

"Does she have to be mean all the time?" I groan

"Ignore her," My wolf said and I smile,

"Yes, let's ignore her, or she will spoil our day. I wonder why the prince is dating that rude bitch, or has he not found his mate?"

"You shouldn't wish to know that'' Scarlet said and I shrugged

''Not like I'm interested" I replied as I parked the broken cup into the waste bin and walked out of the room.

"Wow.....I wish everybody could threat like that" I fantasies over how Alpha Zethro stood up for me

"What if he turns out to be our mate?" Scarlet ask

"No he got a girlfriend and he must have found his mate" I smiled at her though she couldn't see me.

I left the dining room after what happened and buckled up myself in the confinement, of my room which is what I've always done, thankfully my room is sizeable enough not that it's big but it's comfortable for people like us who were considered as nothing, I was able to get this room all thanks to Alpha prince Zethro, thinking about it, today is not the first time he has helped me, sometimes he looked at me with pity and sometimes I can't just read his expression but I know that whatever it's I don't want to raise my hopes high by naming it love, because you know if you are an Omega you'll understand that you'd to be careful of what you wish for, the least you could wish is to be accepted and nothing else, so I don't dare raise my hope but then we all deserved to be loved.

None of us wanted to be weak and we cannot also question the moon goddess, because if you are to ask me everybody must not be the same but at the same time no one and I mean no one wishes to be born as an Omega. Tears trickled from my eyes as I wiped it off, tomorrow is the day that I'm finally going to meet my mate the day I have been waiting for, I have longed for this day my reasons were to show myself that I can love and be loved, for the fact no mate hates his or her mate, there is hope for me.

I stood up, the air in my room is suffocating me already I don't want to taint my thought with negativity so I stood up still in my red floral gown, it was one of my best dresses which I brought out at least I need good luck ahead of the ritual of the moon if my family can't give me there blessing, red colors are considered as blessings so I had nothing to worry about. I walk out to the frontage of the packhouse and lean against the railings. The morning breeze did justice by blowing my hair to different angles. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply if only I didn't have so much to worry about just if only everything is fine.

I smile and opened my eyes, here is one of the secluded areas in the packhouse, I admired the surrounding, I look around actually the side building has a window at the upper part which is the window to Alpha prince Zethro's room, I'm tempted to take a look but something in me was against it but like my stubborn and curious mind will not rest I turn my head to the side slowly I lift up my head but closed my eyes, when I'm sure I positioned my head well enough, I opened my eyes bit by bit only for me to come in contact with that cute and stunning hazel eyes that will not stop making my heartbeat, I can feel my heartbeat hammering and thump hard against my chest, he stood gloriously with his two hands clasped behind his back as he stares at me like we're in some kind of staring competition, remembering how he stood up for me earlier a blush crept up my face as I blush but then he was staring at me with mixed emotion that only him can decipher.

He was still there when his girlfriend appeared and kissed his cheeks, I wince as I felt a pin being stuck to my chest, I looked away not wanting to see the rest obviously his girlfriend is trying to get on my nerves it's not like I can stand up to her I'm nobody and sometimes I wonder why the Alpha had to be with her instead of finding his mate, he's supposed to already or maybe he won't want to I don't know. I hissed when I looked back and they were gone. I decided to take a stroll around the packhouse, I wasn't able to attend a school like others because I'm Omega we aren't given that privilege. My father might be one of the Council but to the world "I'm not and will never be his child" That is what he always says, so here I am in my own shell trying my best every day to crawl out but with only one hope ''Mate".

"Hey Silva" I wave when I bumped into the only friend I have and of course she's an Omega

"Where are you going?"

"Taking a walk, I feel suffocated"

"You should be happy tomorrow is the day we've been hoping for and you don't have to be sad," She said hugging me lovingly and I nod my head as she pats my back and caress my hair lovingly, she breaks the hug and smiled at me lovingly

"Let's walk together"

"Thanks" I muttered taking her hand,

"It feels good to be loved, only if we get to experience this feeling every day," I thought as a tear slipped down from my eyes, but then Silva halted her steps making me stop too. She cupped my face with her palms and wiped away my tears using her thumb.

''You're stronger than this, and I need you to remain strong okay?"

"Okay" I nodded my head forcing a smile

We took a walk round the packhouse and even outside. In other to make us happy Silva used the money she has and we went to the amusement pack and had fun. We even got some ice cream. it was already dawn when we came back I was already tired, Silva has left for her quarters while I returned to my room, I'm suddenly feeling sick I don't know why but I went to the bathroom pulled off my clothes and entered the shower, I stayed there for a longer time hoping I'd feel better but it worsened, I came out and wore my cloth, I went to the Kitchen and told Madam pecki how I'm feeling, well she secretly helps us Omegas though she's the head of the servant and also a true born not Omegas like us, she prepared a herbal tea for me which she promised I will be better by tomorrow well she said to me "You have to be okay child, nothing should spoil your day tomorrow" She said to me, I smile and thank her before returning to my room as I hugged the comfort of my bed and coiled myself in a bun before covering my whole body with the duvet, I tried to sleep but it's like my body is not responding to it at all, slowly I stood up from the bed and took hold of my baggy jacket as I wore it on my body, I wore my flip flop and open the door slowly.

As I walked towards the lonely hallway everywhere was quiet, I went to my favorite spot outside and sat down, the event of what happened here earlier today flashed my mind, and I balled my fist under my jacket, tempted to look up at the Alpha prince window but no! I resisted the urge, as anger surged through me I stood up angrily to walk out only to behold the Alpha prince as he stood and stared at me in his glorious manner, he stood tall in his black sweatpants and white shirt with his hands folded behind his back as he looks so ravishing, "Quit checking him out" My subconscious snapped at me and I withdrew my stare and looked away

"Are you okay?" He suddenly asks, making my head snap towards him.

Aqua Louise Pov:

I stood in front of the mirror as I packed my hair into a ponytail. I can't help but reminisce on the event of last night

( Flashback )

"Are you okay?" He asked me making my head snap towards him

"Why do you care?" I asked, staring into his hazel eyes that made my heart reverberate every moment I looked at them.

"I don't know I just want you to be fine" He muttered looking away from my gaze

"You know Alpha, for someone like you who has a girlfriend and who must have found her mate or not, you shouldn't care too much," I said looking away hating the vibe I'm getting from him. He has always secretly cared for me which gives me butterflies and chills at the same time, deciding to live as the fresh air is becoming suffocating, I bow to him. Though his gaze was on me the whole time, I cared less than to live his presence. I walk into the confinement of my room and wrap myself up in my blanket coiling myself in a bun and hugging my pillow to myself as a second skin I closed my eyes and let the night take over.

( End of Flashback )

It's still early in the morning and the weather today is all cozy. Yes, today is the long-awaited day all my kind of Omegas have been waiting for. I slip my feet into my sandals that's one of the maid uniforms since I'm among them. Taking one more glance at my simple reflection I think I'm okay.

I step out of my room, locking the door. As I walk along the hallway that leads to the pack kitchen I can't help but feel this negative chills around me like something bad is going to happen, well I normally get this kind of feeling whenever something bad wants to happen like the morning when my father threw me out of our house and rejected me as his daughter, I was the first to wake up that day and this is exactly the type of chill that I felt.

I shook my head not wanting to cloud my thoughts with negativity and insecurity. "This is a big day for me and I wore red which is the lucky color I prayed to the moon goddess to bless my day already, so I shouldn't allow insignificant things to put me down, I've been through a lot and I've come out strong in all so I don't think I need to fear anything," I said to myself and pat my chest in a comforting manner.

I was about to walk into the stairs that lead to the pack kitchen when I saw the Alpha prince walking towards My direction with his hands folded behind his back, his gaze was on me the whole time making me halt on my step as I stood still watching him come close, but then he surprised me when his gaze averted from me and he walked past me like I wasn't standing there, I staggered back out of shock I know it's unlike me like common he owes me nothing, but for long as I have lived here I know he never gets angry at me sometimes he's possessive one me though I took it as nothing knowing that we are literally people of different caliber plus he has a girlfriend so I don't dare have any kind of fantasy of together with him. Only I know of my crush on him. I kept that to myself because it's useless.

I caress my thumping heart that won't stop beating fast like a tornado maybe because it's hurt over the prince attitude

"Don't worry dear heart after today our prince charming will come running into our arms" I spoke gently to my heart while caressing it, thanks to that it is still early morning people are not yet walking in the hallway, it's only the maids and Omegas like us that wake up at this hour.

After making sure my thumbing heart is now beating normally, I took a deep breath in and out and smiled, just like I said nothing is allowed to spoil my day. I climb down the stairs that lead to the Kitchen and met madam Pecki in the kitchen with most of the maid

"Good morning mam" I greeted kissing her both cheeks, that's how she is to all of us, she's just like the mother that we Omegas I never had.

"How is your fever?" She asks with a face full of smile and compassion

"All good ma" I demonstrated with my hands swinging in the air and we burst out laughing

"Alright child, come there is so much to do," She said, holding my hands and leading me towards the vegetables that needed to be cut for the celebration and ritual at dawn.

It was dawn already as we were done with the preparation and here I am with my face beaming with smiles and excitement. I walk into my bathroom humming my favorite song ( Who says ) by American singer Selena Gomez. Here in New York we rarely have time to listen to music because Omegas are always busy but we still skip out time from our free time.

I was done bathing and I wrapped myself with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. I dried my body and used my hair blower to dry my hair. I picked out my white dress, that's my favorite dress. I take it as a good luck charm, white is purity. I wore my matching bra and panties before I wore the white dress, I wore a white stiletto and sat in front of my dressing mirror. I packed my hair in a bun and applied light makeup. I want to look pretty for my prince charming. I might be an Omega but it doesn't mean we are not allowed to be pretty, though I know I'm well endowed.

I applied a red lip gloss and smashed my lips together. I smiled looking at myself. I think I look like Queen Elizabeth. " Don't flatter yourself," Scarlet my wolf said and I rolled my eyes not wanting to argue with her. I stood up satisfied at my reflection. I walk out.

As I near the celebration ground which is the open field of the packhouse, the Alpha King chose that arena because the full moon is most visible there. Sounds of music blare in my ear and I can hear noise coming out of the place.

"Hey Aqua?" Silva my friend nudge me on the shoulder as I try to wriggle my way through the crowd

"I'm fine" I smile as I look at her she looks so beautiful and participating just like me

"Wow....Aqua you look so dazzling bet your Prince charming won't take his eyes off you" She giggled and cross her hands over my shoulder

"Thanks, Silva, you look amazing too"

"My bad I'm blushing" She held her cheeks in a shy manner.

"Look Aqua the moon is coming..!!" She shouted to my hearing because of the noise.

I look up immediately and damn! The Blue Moon is in its full glory shining upon us. I smiled, "Silva I need to check something," I said to her as she nodded and removed her hand from my shoulder, I walked off to the front. I was able to make it to the front after a series of bumping shoulders with a lot of people in the crowd.

The fire has already been lightened and the priest began with the ritual since the full moon is out. Some Omegas were anxious while some were excited, I'm one of those that are anxious. I stood at a corner till the ritual was over, the moon is now big as it is now in full display.

A ball light was lifted to the sky showing that the ritual is over. I wanted to go to a secluded place as the noise was becoming too much but suddenly I halted on my step when a sweet and intoxicating scent caught my nose. I looked around to know where it's coming from but I didn't smell it from the crowd. I was still searching when I saw Silva hugging a guy, "Could he be her mate?" I shrug off the thought since that's the least of my problems.

I trail the scent with my nose and the more But it wasn't leading me out as it seems it's coming from my front. Looking up is the Alpha and the members of the council, Luna, the Alpha prince, and his girlfriend.

"Could it be what I'm thinking?" I thought as the Alpha prince's gaze was all on me? I walk towards the stage where they are not afraid of anything at the moment. The more I walked up the stage the more the scent became strong, I pinned my gaze on the Alpha prince the whole time.

I stood in front of the Alpha prince and everywhere suddenly turned silent even the music stopped but I cared less.

"Mate" I muttered, as tears threatened to blur my eyes. He knows he was my mate yet He never told me he even has a lover.

My worst nightmare is about to happen and I don't think I'm ready for it. Is that why he showed me kindness and his possessive attitude? He knew I'm his mate! He never told me, he kept it away from me and even have a girlfriend, because I'm an Omega

"So you knew I'm your mate and yet you never told me instead you got yourself a girl," I said finally letting out my tears, I could see my mom and sister seated beside my father, but there was no pity in their eyes, those are not my family they rejected me in every way.

I look at Alpha Zethro and ask with a shaky and trembling voice "Why?...why did you do this to me why....?" I roared suddenly needing an answer as an escape my head couldn't take.

"I needed a strong Luna to rule the pack with me, not a weakling Omega," He said without pity of how I had felt. I look at him to see the man that uttered those words, the one I have always crushed on, the one I have loved secretly then I know what it means to be broken as I felt my heart break into million pieces

"I cannot have you as my mate"

"I Alpha zethro Manec rejects you, Aqua Ramon, as my mate!" He screamed looking calm making me wonder if he's still the same prince that cared for me and always possessive, and the crowd echoed. I felt my feet wobble as I cannot stand them anymore. These people caused pain, the family rejected me, and yet my mate, who was my last hope, not only rejected me but also cheated on me and is still on it. I wipe away my tears. They don't worth it, they don't!

"Well you have said yours now I will say mine" I wipe my tears, deciding to be strong I look at all their faces,

"I Aqua Ramon reject you Alpha Zethro as my mate not to have anything to do with you and I strip myself off anything connecting me to you in the presence of this full moon," I said to him raising my right hand to the moon. They were all surprised, especially the prince who looked shocked but I cared less.

I turned to my parents, "I Aqua stand before this sacred moon and reject Ramon's family as mine and strip myself off every bond I have with you people, from today on I'm no longer Aqua Ramon but Aqua Dave"

"My Child...!!" My mom shouted and made to come close to me but I stopped her with a wave of my right hand, I took a glance at the Alpha prince my mate who rejected me and whom I also rejected, I look at my family who rejected me too, and concluded that this pack should be my past its time for me to live, I walk out and went into my room I gathered some of my things and came back and still met them in shock

I came back and stood in front of them again with all my things, my mom is already on her feet.

"I'm living this pack which caused me nothing but pain and rejection and I free myself from anything that has to do with these pack and never to step my feet here again," I said and turned around,

"Aqua" I heard a sob and turn to see Silva my only friend I engulf her in a hug

"Thanks, you are the only one I can call a friend here but I'm sorry I have to live this way," I said to her breaking the hug

"Take care," She said smiling and masking her tears

"Thanks" I muttered, I turned around once more and looked at them before facing my front and started walking away. I may not know where I'm going but I hope that for once fate should have mercy on me.

"Aqua......!!!" I heard my mother's scream but it's too late as I never turned back till I walked out of sight.
