Powerful Omega

"Three bloods must be united in one person!"

Retreating to the edge whilst pushing my body through the wall, shaking like a leaf, my eyes zeroed in on the approaching man with red eyes and sharp fangs. I shook my head while crying, begging him not to hurt me, but I think, prophecy is prophecy and this is my destiny; being bitten by the most powerful vampire while the child of an unscented wolf constantly kicking inside my womb.

"Sophia!"

That echoing voice jolted me awake. I blinked for a moment trying to activate my state of consciousness whilst feeling the presence of my dream as if it were really happening. Am I really that addicted to the book I'm reading that even in my sleep it visits me?

"Do you want to die?"

Automatically, the word 'huh?' came out of my mouth, processing the words of my friend Bella, in my head as she added, "Why are you sleeping there like... this is your house?" I haven't looked at her yet but my mind is already picturing the rolling of her eyes with her hands gesturing in circular rapid motion on her ears referring to the whole place, reminding me that I'm not at home. "Our boss whose name means love but heartless, calls you many times, girl."

A strong pounding of my heart drew in my chest, causing my face to rise, and look at her asking like a fool, "A-Are you sure?" Realizing my stupidity, I wiped my lips and changed the question, "I-I mean, why?"

I'm curious what our boss needs from me. Did I do something wrong? But time over, I just gulped down when I realized that I fell asleep in the middle of my work. How long have I been like this?

I know I'm sleep deprived because I'm tired. After here at Hildart I still have tasks that I must start and finish when I get home. But why am I complaining? Even if I tell my side, it's still useless because Sir Eros doesn't care. Who am I, anyway?

Taking a deep breath, I faced my printer. It's still on and I'm not done with what Miss Bimbie is telling me to do but I only finished about half a bundle of papers. I'm screwed.

Shaking her head, Bella told me, "I don't know. Maybe the one that Miss Bimbie gave you earlier to print is what he needs?"

I breathe out trying to get rid the fear out of me. But biting my bottom lip, my vision zeroed in on the circle that looked like a drop of liquid on the topmost bundle of paper on my desk. My eyes widened realizing that it was my saliva.

Swallowing so hard, I looked at her and asks, "Has 10 minutes passed since he called?"

She answered, "It's only about 3 minutes." She shrugged. "You know that once it took five minutes because I had a hard time waking you up..." She glares at me. "It's better to keep your distance. Don't go near him or you will die."

I breathed a sigh of relief for that '3 minutes,' but that doesn't mean I'm safe. I still have two more consequences to prepare for. First, I did not finish printing all the paper works that Miss Bimbie ordered me to do. Secondly, my saliva soaked the paper on top!

Barely fixing my messy hair into a bun, I also get to my feet. I know, Sir Eros doesn't want an ugly employee but nevermind... If he wrings my neck, then I will let him. After all, I have a tragic life and that's tiring.

I'm just living with my aunt who is my mother's cousin and mated to one of the strong warriors. She has a son and two daughters but they didn't treat me well. Because of my aunt, I experienced a daily slap. I haven't been here for a week working with sir Eros and she has already asked me to buy stock for their daily needs. And usually, I got slapped yesterday because I didn't give her anything. All I could do is to cry. I have nothing against them because my cousins ​​came from the strong bloodline in the father side. And my aunt is also a daughter of a warrior, while my mother and I are Omegas.

Besides being an omega, I still haven't recieved my wolf when I turned 18. Others says, maybe my wolf was stunned. But duh, Sophia, if you're afraid of your boss, you don't need to dramatize your sad life. Pity you is not in his vocabulary!

"I only called once, Ms. Fiennes!"

His voice seemed to break my leg and I lost its strength to carry my weight. I managed not to fell on my knees and Bella, my friend who seems to have two mouths when talking was also panicking. The papers were falling when I hug them, but fortunately this talkative friend of mine had a soft heart and picked up the papers that fell on the floor for me.

She said, "You need to go faster if you don't want to die, but if he kills you, just accept it, you'll still go to heaven because you're an angel, okay? Always remember that I love you."

I couldn't help but give her a glare and said, "Thanks, you're a big help."

She just grinned and raised two fingers as a sign of peace. "That's how I love you, Sophia! Now go! The 5 minutes are almost up! Good luck!"

I heard myself laughing wryly even though I was being attacked by the heebie-jeebies. I also feel like my face changing its hue because of fear.

If our boss was only human I could talk to him fearless. But Eros Hildarttre is an Alpha of Dark Moon pack and being feared of all people. It means, he has no inclination to give mercy at all.

Our pack is used to socializing with humans. Sir Eros is also a CEO of Hildart group, which holds different industries in different countries. But humans are unaware of what he really is. In our pack, I am an omega. I just don't know what the Alpha saw in me, that he actually offered me this job, personally. Maybe because I have many human friends?

The truth is, I came from Hildart University. That school is one of the highest schools in the city. I was given the favor of Alpha to enter that school for which I still don't know the reason. I can't even say that there's something special about me that only he saw because I'm a wolfless and I really have nothing to do with the pack, except that I used to work for him as his personal slave in exchange for my safety.

Now, currently standing in front of his office's closed door, I was visited by a bundle of nerves again. Breathing out through my lips, I decided to raise my fist to create a faint knock. But his voice inside halted me, "Get in." Along with opening the door.

Staring into his eyes as if he was mentally punishing me, my throat gradually dried up. It was as if I had become so tiny under his gaze that I had no choice but to bend down and focus my eyes on the floor. "H-Hi, sir."

I feel like it was a big mistake that I made a greeting of 'hi' that as he turned his back, quietly walking towards his desk, it seemed to indicate the word, 'your hi is disrespecting me.' It was only then I realized that I had to go inside, when the heavy door gradually closing by itself. I just blocked it with my hand and walked in.

The intimidating presence of my boss fills the room, as if telling me to be careful with my actions and words. I felt like I was inside a dark cave with a dangerous beast that could kill me anytime.

Then suddenly his voice dominated that almost made me jump, "Is everything all set?" I bit my lips so hard, looking down at the bundle of paper works in my arms.

In truth, he was not the one who ordered me to print the papers but it's Miss Bimbie. If he had ordered Miss Bimbie to make me do these, he would surely have cut off my head by now. I mentally scolded myself for not doing my job well, and here I am now, finding the courage to say this plea, "C-Can I ask for more time, S-Sir? I haven't really finished what you're asking me..." I held my breath first before finishing my sentence, "...to do."

Waiting for him to speak, I closed my eyes. I was afraid of the silence that prevailed throughout the office. I feel like anytime, he appears in front of me to break my neck or take my head off. Imagine that in just an instant my body ended up, creating a loud thud on the floor whilst my head just bounced off the wall and rolled towards the door as a sign that I was dead. But for several seconds he remained silence and did nothing. I slowly opened my eyes. I don't know how to look at him directly, but when our eyes met, my heartbeat thundering inside my chest.

"This is curious." He broke the silence and that was not related to what we should talk about. "You're an omega, but your scent is strong."

"Huh?"

Quirking my brows, looking at him, he asked me, "Who are you?"

I grew up in the Dark moon pack and actually worked with him for several years and many things happened to me that even he himself witnessed. So I looked like a fool looking straight into his eyes, trying to understand his question I didn't know how to answer except to tell him my name and my background that he already knew.

If he meant who my father was, he knew that I came from an anonymous rogue, which made my name carry shame. As for my scent, it's impossible for him to smell it just now, especially since I'm always around him, and another thing, it's impossible for him to recognize it strong. I'm just a lowly omega, wolfless and definitely no more hope to have a wolf.

I found myself shaking my head saying, "M-Me?" Hugging the bundle of papers to my chest tightened, I pressed my legs together, to maintain my strength to remain standing and tried to ease the fear that now filled my whole being while my toes curl pressing inside my shoes. I tried to breathe whilst waiting for his next step.

Listening to the sound of his knuckles, as if he was ready to take out his claws to kill a little scared mouse, I tightened my grip on the papers. And his words startled me, "Tomorrow you will be 21. If you remain wolfless, I have no choice, but to return you to Alpha Luke of Litha moon pack."

As my chest pounded, a gasp escaped from my mouth. I couldn't stop myself from raising my head to look straight into his eyes. The Litha moon pack is the pack with the ruthless Alpha as its leader. The omegas there are hardly given the right to live freely. Their body is considered only for their Alpha. My aunt sold me there, luckily, my Alpha save me; he actually bought me from Alpha Luke.

But now he told me, "This is part of the agreement. This is the last chance he gave and if you don't shift on your 21st, you will come back to him and warm his bed until your last breath."

No! I can't, I don't want to, I'd rather stay here with him and serve him than go back to that hellish pack. I tried to step with my shaky feet due to fear near him. I wanted to hold his hand to beg, but it was his rule not to do that, especially here in the company, so I begged, "I'll do everything, Alpha-n-no payment, i-it's okay. I'll work for you-"

He cut me off, "Your scent is strong. There's an energy that radiates inside you, that I can't explain what." What energy? I don't know about that, I have no idea, I don't feel any strength. But he surprised me with his addition, "You'll be on shift tonight at twelve o'clock in the morning. Right under the moonlight."

My eyes widened in shock. The question echoed in my head as to how he knew that he it's my time to shift. Well, this is good news to me, but my smile retreated to the point of curving when he spoke, "You won't be returning to Litha moon, but depending on the outcome of your shift, whether I'm your enemy, or your side. Your mother may be betraying me. Your father is definitely not an ordinary rogue. Now, move your ass out!"

I felt like my face was hit by his gesture even though I was far enough away from him. I wanted to ask more, but I don't want to wake up the beast inside him. I don't wanna die.

I quickly bowed and turned my back to take my leave but he halted me by dropping something-I think it was his name plate on top of the desk as he said, "My forgiveness about you sleeping while working is still in your palm, but if you do that again, I'll throw you in the worst pack and let them kill you. Don't tarnish my company's name. Come back here, after six hours, make sure the papers are all set!"

"Y-Yes, sir!"

I mentally scolded myself for what I did wrong. I must not have slept, I was in the middle of work. I must have thought that my boss was not human. He's a strong Alpha, dangerous, no compromise.

He doesn't care if my life is important to me. That should be what I imprint on my mind. He was nice to me once as if I was important to him, but that was only once, he still thought of me as his omega.

Pushing myself out, and when the door closed, the whole area became breathable. Taking a deep breath, I rubbed my chest and wiped the sweat from my forehead. After a moment of calming myself down, I brought myself to my working place. Automatically, Bella turned to face me and grinned. "You're still alive."

"I don't want to get teased for now," I responded coldly.

"It looks like it. I'm curious how he scared you. Your body turned ghostly pale, like a monster you saw inside the office." She laughed but it was only for a moment and her eyes fell on the paper I placed on my desk. "What's the issue with those? Trash?"

I heaved a sigh and replied, "Undone."

"So you're saying goodbye tomorrow?" She peered at my face, I gave her a glare.

I told her, "I'll still be here tomorrow. I'll just come back to him later after 6 hours when everything he needs is all set."

"Congratulations then, I hope you don't fall asleep. Let me help you to pray that your damn eyes won't put you in trouble again." The tone of her voice was sarcastically joking. I knew she was just reminding me of my commitment to work and she added, "You're always looks tired, Sophia. The way your eyebags look, it's like you don't sleep at night. Are you trying to be a vampire ? If I were you, don't stay awake just to imitate them, drink blood instead."

Yeah, I hardly had enough sleep because I was piled up with house hold chores every night. I have to finish everything before I get the freedom to rest. I don't have to explain anything to this human friend of mine, I don't want to beg for mercy. Humans cannot understand to the lives of werewolves. What revolves in their world is equality but in the world of shape-shifters who are the weakest will remain at the lowest.

"Anyways." I thought, she will focus on her duties especially since she adjusted her seat and facing her computer. But it looks like she has something to tell me. I hope it's important, and related to me or to our work. "Do you remember sir Eros' last secretary? The one with the igloo-style eyebrows?"

Okay, she will share gossips, but I have to concentrate on my work especially since there is a deadline that our boss gave me. How can I reject her if she is obviously eager to tell me what she knows about the former secretary? I wanted to take my time with what needed to be taken care of but I heard myself asking, "What about her?"

Stupid...

She led forward, as if she was only trying to get closer to me because of the distance of our seats. Then she whispered, "The real reason why she left is because when sir Eros got mad, she saw the change in the color of his eyes and also heard him growl. She said that she was not actually fired from the job, she voluntarily left! She just noticed something strange about our boss. Do you think that's true?"

A hiccup flew from my throat. It's impossible for that to happen to the Alpha. That's the rule of his pack, especially with the wolves here in Hildart; not to let their wolves to peek into the present that might give a strange sign to the humans. But what Bella said clearly did happen. I'm not good at pretending but I tried to feign rolling my eyes and said, "You know our boss is grumpy." Also feigning shrugged. "Maybe, she just obsessed reading dark fantasy books, especially werewolf-vampire's, and maybe that's the reason why sir Eros' grumpy nature makes her think that he is one of the beasts."

I hope she will believe what I say. Luckily, she just shrugged and said, "Well, I just got that story from the gossips, not sure if it's true." She adjusted her sitting position and zeroed in on her work. That makes me breath a sigh of relief. Thank you, goddess!

_

Time seemed to fly by and the afternoon arrived but I could feel the tiredness. I still have some things to finish but I believe I can make it before my submission time comes. I ignored the odd feeling in my nape; it was actually numb, maybe because I was focusing too much on my task. Even my hands felt it too, eager to make a sound through clenching my knuckles but when I did, it sounds nothing and the feeling of numbness did not lessen.

I just breathed out through my lips, trying not to be bothered by my situation. I spent another hour at work until I finished printing all the papers. But just as I had segregated all that, my vision suddenly became unclear. Things I see are moving. Sometimes it becomes two, becomes one, fades, and even if I clench shut my eyes, and scratch it, still no avail.

In the middle of my struggle to make my vision clear, I felt Bella face me and asked, "What's happening?"

I needed her help so I looked at her, but I didn't expect her to yelp and maneuver to get up from her seat as if I was the scariest creature she had ever seen. I want to ask what's going on with her but I don't know how to jump right into that situation if I need help. So I chose to tell the truth, "I-I can't see well."

But her voice filled with tremor calling me, "S-Sophia..." She cursed and crouched next to my feet. Holding my hand whilst I closed my eyes, she told me, "W-Why did your eyes turn that color? W-What does that mean?"

"Color what?"

My eyes flashed open, looking at her like a magnet. Her eyelashes flutters, indicating that she saw something and suddenly disappeared. Whilst my heart was thumping, I was overthinking what it is. She mentioned the color of my eyes, the change in it, it made me wonder if my shift process was starting. But the signs are weird, these are not the ones I saw in other wolves' first shifts.

I just heard myself ask, "Color what?" I force myself to face her, watching her avert her gaze whilst she rubbing her chest. I shocked her, I scared her without realizing it. She rose to her feet, breathing out through her lips, shaking her head saying, "Nothing." She looked away until she brought herself to her seat.

Her silence made my stomach crunch. I know her, what she notices in others, she tells me. There is a high possibility that what she noticed about me now, she will also tell others even if she is my friend.

When that happens, the information will connect, what the last secretary of Alpha discovered and what she saw in me today, they will jump into conclusions about our race and that is definitely against us. I couldn't let that happen so I called, "Bella..."

The sound of her fingers fiddling on her computer keyboard dominated. I know she's just pretending to be busy the way she pretends to force herself to look at me, along with swaying the end of her straight short black brown shiny hair on her chin, and feigning a respons polite smile at me as if nothing happened. "Yes?" But I didn't miss the fear that filled her eyes, the squaring of her shoulders. I can also hear her heartbeat, it's pounding faster than the normal beat.

She's squivering deep inside...

"Tell me what you saw." I can't stop myself from pinching the papers on my desk and the possibility of tearing them off completely, faded in my head, even though I know they are important to the king above. I want her to tell me the truth. I want to know, for me to think the best thing to do to stop her from jumping to the possible conclusion that she will think about me.

I didn't take my eyes off of her, enough to make her feel my demand that I needed an answer. Though, I'm in a position of right, whether I'm a werewolf or not. She heaved a sigh and spun her chair to face me. Crosses her arms across her chest, shaking her head, she says, "I'm not sure but, I saw your eyes suddenly change color..." She raised her palm, whilst my heart skips a beat. She went on, "Yellow-orange?" She shrugged. "Not sure, maybe because..." She placed her palm on her desk. "I'm facing the computer, all day, you know... maybe it's just light reflection in my eyes, that's why. Since the color of yours has become normal and... nothing to worry about."

I should be able to breathe easy with her search for a reason, as if she is ignoring that curious thing in my eyes, but what I feel is worry. Worry that maybe the conclusion of being my werewolf still on her mind.

I wanted to ask more, I wasn't satisfied with her answer to be complacent, but I also didn't want to put doubt in her mind so I just put on a feigning smile and said, "I thought there was something in my eyes possibly scaring me. You said earlier, I barely sleep." I feigned shrugging. "Maybe we just don't know, I'm already not healthy."

"That means you need enough rest. You're like a wilting flower that hasn't been watered, Sophia. Do you have a sideline I don't know about? Don't tell me you work in a bar at night. Don't say yes, that's yuck!"

My eyes bugged out that I couldn't stop myself from kicking his leg but I made sure that I only hit the air. I'll be rude when I really kick her and get hurt. I just glared at her. "Do I look like a slut?"

Her laughter bubbled up but it's gradually faded along with the change in her reaction. She became serious, looking at me. "But what did you say earlier that you can't see well?"

I controlled my facial expression for her not to see the shock she created in me. I feigned taking a deep breath to express my worry- worry that means something different; maybe she doubted me, but the worry I showed her meant my unhealthy states.

I told her, "Yeah, maybe because I was focusing too much on work and trying to fight my sleepiness. But I can see clearly now, I-" Closing my eyes tightly, I clenched my fist as the pain drew in my back, shot to my head.

"Are you sure?" I know she notices my reaction.

Yes, I'm in pain, but I can still pretend, so I nodded. "Y-Yes, I'm fine...I'm good." I affirmed the subsidence of the pain and luckily, it retreated, so I breathed a sigh of relief. But when I looked at her while smiling, I saw the worry in her eyes.

"You're not okay, Sophia."

She was about to stand up, but I raised my hand, signaling her to stop and said, "I appreciate your helpfulness, Bella. But look, it's almost night, you know, it's just hunger. I'll eat later, after my duty."

She pouted as a sign of defeat. "Alright, let's eat together after this then."

That's complicated...

Maybe the shift process will attack me later, and I won't be able to handle it. I reasoned, "I have overtime."

"I'll wait for you."

I closed my eyes tightly and said, "Don't. You oblige too much, I'm full of that. You need some rest too, so..." I looked at my phone, which lit up because of the text message received. It was getting night base on the time on the screen. "It's time for you to take a time out."

Luckily... she didn't protest.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the entire work place is quiet, some computer desks are empty. There are those workers left doing overtime too, but after a while, they will also reduce.

Before the six hour grace period given to me by Alpha was up, I was already taking care of the papers. Luckily, I only felt numb in my body. Sometimes it calms down, sometimes it shocks me. Not sure if it's really like this. It seems like I'm being tortured before my wolf releases. But it's not yet twelve o'clock, which means it's not yet the new day for my birthday. I will not shift to this place and I trust it.

Placing those bundles or papers on my arm, a moan automatically escaped my mouth. The previous pain in my back drew again in the same process-shot in my head and there was something deafening sound in my ears.

My wolf seems eagerly to be in charge. It makes me excited yet scared, especially with what Alpha told me. When it calmed down, I just swallowed, and acted nonchalant. Heaveing ​​a sigh, I pushed my chair under the desk and made my way to the office. It seemed that only two lights were on which caused the light to dim in the whole place. I saw heads of other employees on their working place, obviously rushing to finish their tasks.

Walking down the hallway, the numbness of my body reacted again whilst my blurry vision dominated for a nth time-indicating that the shift process was attacking me. But, what's happening now is worse. Numbness was gradually replaced by pain. It felt like my bones were being squeezed, like constantly being rotated as if at any moment, they would break. Pressing my right hand on the wall, I depended on my ability to stand and walk on it. My knee seemed to get tired, numb and I could barely walk my legs.

I can't shift here...

I know, I have to wait a few more hours for my shift but in my current situation, I'm having doubts. What if this is really my time? In order not to cause trouble for the pack, I tried to bring myself to the front of sir Eros' office faster. There is no issue if I writhe in pain in front of him, the important thing is that it is safe. Even if I scream, others will just think that he is doing something bad to me.

I feel like a victory when I finally hold the doorknob of the office. Alpha Eros doesn't care what I'm going through right now, so I can't just open the door right away. I know he smelled my scent, but out of respect, I raised my fist to create a faint knock. But before I could do that, his husky voice came from inside. "Get in."

I mentally thanked. Holding the door knob, pain shot through my back and it spread throughout my body. My knees buckled, but I held on to the doorknob and made it my support to gain strength. When I regained the strength of my legs, I twisted it and pushed the door inside. I let myself fall to the floor as pain shot through me entirely.

The sound of my cracking bones hit every corner of the cold office, luckily the door closed on its own. His footsteps came closer to me until his two pairs of shoes stopped right in my face. My situation was an insulting way of dealing with him during work hours. So even though it was hard, I apologized, "I-I'm sorry, Alpha. I-I can't take the pain, i-it's killing me."

Holding my hips, my eyes fell on the scattered papers on the floor. My heart thumping inside my chest, I tried to propped my hand on the floor to get up and look up at him. His eyes are dark, see the burning furious as if he is being swallowed by anger and anytime his claws are sure to dig into my chest. A gasp escaped my lips. Along with my sweat dripping down from my forehead. Body pain and fear mixed in my whole being. My whole body was also losing strength, I didn't know how to stand, but I tried.

"I-I can't apologize enough..." I picked up the papers on the floor one by one, luckily the alarm of my shift process calmed down. But to my fear, there is no hope for it to calm down especially since I feel that he has zero eyes on me and is trying to control his anger. I feel it is disrespectful not to speak and only apologize. I had to say something so even though I didn't know what word to say, I opened my mouth and start to utter the words, "I-I..."

"Leave those papers and get out," he demanded, clearly pissed off.

But, who will pick up the papers? He can't...

"B-But w-what about-"

"Out!"

I don't want to get hurt. I am so grateful, for the calmness of the shift process so that I can move quickly and headed for the door. He said nothing, but his presence, his aura of silence, indicated that I would pay for being disrespectful to him this time. I took myself out of the office. I'm sweating at the thought, I'll be screwed when I return to the pack. He will punish me for what happened here for sure.
