THE ALPHA'S CRYSTAL MATE

CHAPTER ONE

"No! I can't be an Omega, I'm supposed to be an Alpha"

"How is she the Alpha's daughter"

"She is so weak"

"She is a trash and a bastard"

"Trash! That's what she is"

Came the many voices thrown at me as I stared round me in horror. This can't be happening to me, why me.

"No father, please I'm your daughter" I cry out as I try to reach for my father, the Alpha of Blackclaw Pack.

"I forbid you to call father" he spat out while evading my hands like a plague, I flinched from the spite in his words. Was this my loving and caring father, he was totally a different person now.

"I do not have such a weakling for a daughter" My mother, the Luna, spoke with venom in her voice.

"No, please, Mom, Dad" I cry as I fall on my knees.

My father spits at me and turns his back from me facing the pack members. My heart beats in terror as I watch him.

"From this day forth, I declare that she is no daughter of mine, she shall be moved to the servants quarters......."

"NO!" I wail.

".....And shall remain a servant for the rest of her life" then he stood straight, no, no, I know that posture, it only means something bad but I can't stop it from happening. I can only cry more loser and fervently.

"I, Alpha Maxine Blackclaw of Blackclaw Pack hereby denounce you, Avery Blackclaw, now to be know as Avery Omega as my daughter"

I gasp and fall back from the tearing pain I can feel in her chest from this declaration, my tears flow freely down my face as I look towards my mother, my sister and brother desperately, but the people I see in front t of me are like strangers. I see no hint of remorse or pity in them, my fate is sealed.

My mother steps forward to standing with my father. "I Luna Mara Blackclaw of Blackclaw Pack hereby denounce you Avery Omega as my daughter".

Then my sister steps beside her with a smirk followed by my brother.

"I Lucy Blackclaw, daughter of Alpha and Luna Blackclaw, hereby denounce you, Avery Omega as my sister"

"I Drake Blackclaw, son of Alpha and Luna Blackclaw, hereby denounce you Avery Omega as my sister".

I stare in absolute horror as my family denounces me in front of the whole pack, my heart is stunting so much from being torn into pieces that I can barely breathe, I will a long wail as I see them retreating from my view. I try to call out to them but my voice has gone away from me, then I faint when the pain becomes too much.

******************************

Splash! I jerk up in shock as cold water is poured generous over my body waking me up from my slumber in which I was reliving my worst nightmare.

"You worthless bastard, why haven't you served me my dinner" the loud, scary voice boomed at me, I cowered and whimpered in fear, my head lowered as I tried not to cry.

"I'm sorry Fa..I mean Alpha, "

"Come here you bitch" and then I'm flying across the room as I'm Struck by a powerful slap. My face stings and my head hurt from where I hit it on the wall. I try not to wail in pain but I whimper a little.

"Honey, don't be so worked up over the useless trash, we should just throw her away". The smooth female voice sounds from somewhere near me, I can't open my eyes due to the stinging pain.

"Get her out of my sight and make sure she serves us our breakfast before she eats" the male voice barks before leaving. I'm still on the floor, I hear the crunch of heels approaching me, my heart starts beating in fear again. I start moving backwards to avoid her but I'm stopped whether heels stomp on my hands, I yelled in pain.

"Yes, yell, you trash. This is where you belong, on the floor. I can't believe I called you my daughter." then she pours some sticky liquid on me then pours a bucket full of ice cold water on me again,before leaving.

I stay on the floor in tears while cradling my hand.

"Hey Omega, get your ass from there, you have work to do."

I sigh softly to myself as I get up from the floor very wet, my hands still throbbing. I'm wearing torn pants and a well worn old shirt handed down to me by the head servant, this has been my uniform since I started here. Who would have thought that three years ago I was treated like a princess, loved and respected by everyone, but now as I look at my hands ridden with calluses, I realize again that those days are forever behind me. I'm never going to be important again, not even in the outside world and all because I am a weakling, a trash_ I am an Omega in a family of Alphas. I have always felt I was different from my siblings because I looked nothing like them or my parents. My father, the Alpha has light brown hair and jet black eyes, while my mother has a crown of beautiful blonde hair and a face adorned with blue eyes. My brother took on the physical qualities of my father and my sister took on those of my mother. But as for me, I was born with a whole mop of stark white hair and almost dead grey eyes, these features have never been recorded in the history of my family. When I was little, I always asked my parents if I was adopted but they always assured me loving that I was their child, I was just different. And I guess roughly so, the moon goddess was right in making me an Omega_the weakest of all wolves. It has never been heard that the daughter of two Alphas will be an Omega, which explains why my family disowned me. Tears still spring to my eyes whenever I remember that I no longer have a family or friends, I sometimes cry myself to sleep at night because of this. They all shun me like a plague, treating me like I'm some common slave. What surprises me is that my siblings whom I thought would at least support me or care about me turned out to be my worst nightmare, always finding new ways to humiliate me, I guess family is a lie and a facade huh?. The voices you just heard now happens to be that of my parents. I know, I still call them my parents even though what they are doing to me is not fair but no matter what I will always call them my parents, beside they are just doing their rightful duties, I know an omega can't be in the Alpha's family so its only right if I'm removed because I will never be useful to anyone.

Omega, get into that kitchen and fix breakfast for the Alpha and his family."

The shrewd head of servant shouts at me bringing me out of my self musings. I bow my head promptly and quickly head to the kitchen in my wet, soggy clothes. I sleep in the corridors by the way, I'm not allowed a bed, sometimes I think they are going too far in this Omega thing. I'm quick as I work, it helps to stay quiet and unnoticed unless I want to be bullied by other servants. It still baffles me how quick they were to turn full cruelty on me, and I was always nice to them unlike my older siblings who had been nothing but cruel to them well they do say its only the strongest that is respected and feared in this world.

"Well, well, well. If it Isn't the Alpha's Omega bitch"

crooned a very annoying voice from the doorway. My body tenses while I'm still working. Its Clarissa, one of the servants who just happens to be a big full time bitch. She has had it in for me ever since the day I was brought in here. Her constant ribbing and ridicules have become an every day routine to me, one that I don't enjoy at all. Of course I try not to let it show that she gets on my nerves but I don't know how long I can take this.

"Good morning, Clarissa. I hope you slept well?"

I say to her with a smile that I'm really not feeling. She glares at me as she comes closer, I try not to be scared but I am. She has gotten even more confident ever since she started having sex with my brother. She knows that I know about it but she also knows that there is nothing I can do about it either. She has the right curves and looks to attract any man, with her wavy auburn hair and green eyes, and I am sure my brother didn't stand a chance at her charms.

"You have no right speaking to me or even looking at me in the eye. You may have been the Alpha's daughter but now you are nothing but a weak Omega"

she whispers viciously in my ears then she straightens up.

"The Alpha and his family await their breakfast."

She curls her plump lips at me and scoffs as she sways out of the kitchen, maybe to look for another person to have fun with. I'm about to burst into tears, my hands are trembling. I calm myself down. "Its okay Avery, don't let her get to you. Its too early"

I quickly load the breakfast onto a huge trolley, my stomach grumbles loudly as I do so, I'm tempted to have a bite but I'm not permitted to eat until everyone in the house has eaten---my father's orders. But I don't blame him, after all its my fault for being an Omega.

As I push the trolley into the huge dining room decorated beautifully, I can hear laughter, I smile wistfully as I remember how I used to be part of that fun. I lower my head as I wheel in the trolley, as an Omega, I'm not supposed to keep my head up in the presence of high elites or anyone higher than me. Of course no one behaves like they know me, they just carry on talking as if I don't exist. I want to hurry out of here before I'm subjected to any form of humiliation from my siblings. As soon as I'm done I bow very low and turn to leave, the next thing I know a leg comes in my path and I trip falling face down onto the tiled floors hitting my head in the process, I cry out in pain but it seems as if my cry is music to their ears as they all burst out in laughter. I painfully pick myself up and start leaving.

"All of you should prepare because tomorrow you find your mates,...even she"

"Hopefully she finds someone who can put up with her trashy stuff" my sister smirks

"Only someone as useless as she is will do so" my brother snorts.

My father only booms out laughter.

My Mother's words stops me in my tracks, yes now I remember. Its the day I've been hoping for a long time. Tomorrow is the mate choosing ceremony where everyone, be it Alpha or Omega comes with the hopes of finding their fated mate. My heart beats in excitement. I hope I find my mate tomorrow and I know he is going to love me and cherish me because we are meant to be for each other. Suddenly I don't feel hungry anymore as I rush out of the dinning room. I can't wait for tomorrow, I finally get to see my mate, chosen for me by the goddess. I suddenly have my strength back as I run out of the dinning room, delirious with excitement and anticipation for what tomorrow has in store for me.

**************************

Today is the day, I'm finally going to meet my mate. I glance around the field nervously, everyone of mating age is here. Though no one has approached me and I haven't sensed anything but I'm still searching, I know I will find him.

"Hey look, the useless Omega wants to find a mate"

"I hope she doesn't find him."

"Nah, I hope she finds someone as useless as her."

"Oh I just hope the moon goddess does not curse me with someone like her"

"Yeah, me too"

These conversations were going on right in front of me but I pretended not to hear them, as long as I don't acknowledge them, they will get tired. I nervously pull on my dress, it was a blue dress that reached above my knees. This was the only good dress I had left. Oh where is he. Suddenly, my heart beats frantically, I can smell his scent like rain and flowers. Where is he? I spin rapidly in search of him. Then I see him, our eyes match together and I grin in delight.

"Mate!" I whisper.

"Mate"

I whisper as I stare at him in awe and joy. Its Chase, the guy I've been secretly having a crush on ever since I was a pup. My wolf is singing happily. Chase Star, the beta's son, we were classmates in high school and I always had this fantasy that we would be great as a couple...and its finally happening. No longer a fantasy, the moon goddess has decided to visit me by granting me my wish. I can already feel the bond growing, he is my mate. I feel like screaming right now, I'm so happy. I was smiling as I run towards him, I expected him to smile too much and throw his hands around me, but he just stood still, a grim expression on his handsome face. I felt a foreboding of fear, he was staring at me with anger, it was evident in his eyes. I was confused and scared.

"Ch...Chase what is it? Why aren't you saying anything?" I asked him uneasily.

He scoffs and steps a little bit closer and leans directly into my face, I can clearly see the hazel embers of his eyes but right now I'm not fascinated. I'm scared.

"Did you think I will accept an Omega like you, a useless piece of trash for a mate?" My heart stings at his brutal words. "You must be delusional."

"What do you mean Chase please don't do this"

"Do what" he shrugged his wide shoulders, "I'm only saying the truth I'm the Beta's son and as such I should have a perfect if not the best mate. But you....." He smirked at me, "....are as useless as they come."

I shake my head refusing to believe what he is saying as I grab his arm with tears in my eyes that are threatening to fall. He can't do this to me, not my mate, this isn't how I imagined it would be.

"Please, I can be better I'm not weak at all. I can be strong for you" I know I'm being pathetic and desperate but I don't care, I can't let my mate slip away from my hands just like that.

"Then what are you and what can you become!" My sister's voice, Lucy rings out as she walks seducingly towards us, some of the unmated makes stare at her with lust. She gives me an evil smile and in front of me kisses Chase, my mate, and to my horror he is kissing her back as fierce, even moaning in pleasure, my eyes prick with tears but I can't turn away. I can feel the gaze of everyone on me, I don't know how to deal with shame. When they are through kissing, I calmly ask.

"How long has this been going on.?"

Chase drags Lucy and holds her possessively by the waist,that should be me.

"Oh, a year now and seeing as we both don't have a mate, I think its time we do the needful don't you think" Chase says to Lucy.

Thats when I snap. "No way, take your hands off him." I push her but Chase holds onto her more tighter.

"You can't do this to me Lucy, I've been nothing but respectful to you but he is mine, my mate. I'm sure your mate is out there somewhere waiting for you so why do you want to take what is mine away from me, is it to torture me? If it is, you have succeeded but I won't allow it."

I'm breathing hard, tears sting my cheeks, everywhere is quiet and they are both staring at me in surprise, yeah, I didn't think I had it in me either.

"And who are you to stop them?"

I turn sharply and watch as I and Chase's parents walk towards us. My wolf is whimpering even more because she knows this is getting worse. I keep my head low not raising it as they reach us. Of course, they pretend I'm not there.

"My son, I am happy you are making a good choice. I agree to this union" Beta Mason booms out.

"Besides who else is more suitable for the Alpha's only daughter" I bite my lips and hold in tears as I listen to my mother. Then my father speaks.

"Chase, I give you permission to take Lucy, my daughter as your mate, you both deserve each other"

"Thank you Alpha"

"Oh thanks dad"

"Its okay, anything for my family. Why don't you bother accept each other."

"Sure we want to but I have to do something first" Chase says slyly, I know he is grinning. My heart is beating faster as I fear what he is about to say.

"I have to reject her first"

No! I gasp in horror. No no no, please the goddess can't let this happen to me , what have I done wrong to deserve all these pain. I raise my head up as I rush to Chase, begging.

"Please Chase don't do this to me, please I'm begging you"

Then someone slaps me, the slap is so hard that I fall to the ground and my ears ring.

"Who are you to call his name without respect of fear, how dare you Omega." I whimper in pain and from the pressure of his voice.

"I'm sorry Beta, I'm sorry" I gasp out as I painfully stand up without taking my head up. Then Chase steps forward and stands in from if me.

"I Chase Star, son of Beta Mason, Beta to Alpha Maxine Blackclaw, hereby reject you Avery Omega, of Blackclaw pack as my mate".

I fall to the ground again, whimpering in pain as my heart is struck with intense pain. Its like my heart is being torn in pieces all over again like three years ago, just worse.

"Oh please accept your rejection and stop whimpering Omega" Lucy sneers at me.

I didn't want to accept the rejection but I thought to myself, he already has a chosen mate supported by everyone, including my family. What was the user of holding on to him when he didn't want me. It was apparently that I was a disgrace as a person and as a mate and I won't be able to receive the love which I love for. I take a deep breath as I stand up and stare into his eyes with my tear filled eyes.

"I, Avery Omega, Omega of Blackclaw pack hereby accepts your rejection, Chase Star, son of Beta Mason, beta to Alpha Maxine of Blackclaw pack" as soon as I said these words, I heard the sound of something breaking distinctly in my ears. I crumpled to the floor in pain, while weeding silently as I heard them accept each other. I feel like something in me has broken, something very connected to me.
