The Alpha and His Omega

It was dark, and I couldn't see my surroundings. Then, there was unbearable pain in my chest. I threw up blood but suddenly tasted different blood in my mouth for a few seconds. It was sweet.

"Drink my blood! Hurry!"

The voice! It was a familiar voice, but I couldn't remember whose voice it was. Who could it be?

"Open your mouth and drink my blood, please. Victoria, hurry!"

Victoria? Who was it?

"I don't think I can survive any longer. My time has come ...."

"What are you talking about? First, you will give birth to our baby. Then I will marry you."

Suddenly, my eyes were wet, and I cried. But, though the hurt in my chest was tremendous, happiness filled my heart.

"Being able in your arms again, I have no regrets. Kiss me for the last time, Constantine. I-I l-love y-you ...."

Then it was dark. "Constantine!" I shouted.

"Anna! Anna!" My body was shaken softly. "Please, Anna, don't leave me! What can I do without you?"

Who was Anna? What happened? I wanted to open my eyes, but it was too much. Even the slightest move was hard.

"Anna, please, don't leave me! If you die, I will kill myself too. How can I face another bully from Jack and his gang?" Another shaking on my body, then a devastated crying voice was louder. "Anna, what can I do without you? I'm not as strong and brave as you. Who will defend me when Jack wants to torture me?"

Torture? What on earth was happening here? I took a deep breath to say something, but my throat was dry. "W-water ...."

"Oh, Anna! You are conscious! Thank You, the Highest One!" Then, the woman's voice was gentler. "I will get you water."

After a moment, my body was pulled to the sitting position. "Here is your water. Anna, open your eyes."

I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't do it. I shook my head. "W-water ...."

The woman then gave me the water. I gulped it greedily. "More. I need more water."

"Okay, please wait. I will get you more water."

I took another breath and opened my eyes. I was on a thin, worn-out bed in a shabby room. Then, there was an ugly and smelly blanket that covered my body. I set it aside.

Later, I remembered something. I opened my mouth and touched my teeth with my fingers. What's going on? I shook my head. No!

That was when the woman returned to the room with a glass of water. "Anna! You can open your eyes! Oh, Anna, you don't know how relieved I am!" She put the glass on the table and then hugged me. "I thought you would die. You didn't appear on the surface when Jack threw you into the lake. I thought you were drowning."

My head was spinning. I couldn't think. "Water, please."

The woman helped me to drink more. "What are you feeling right now?"

"Much better, but why do you call me Anna? I'm not Anna. I'm Victoria."

The woman frowned and shook her head. "No, you're Anna-Anna Warren."

"Who?" But then I realized I didn't know her either. "So, who are you?"

"Oh, no! Maybe you lose your memory after drowning." The woman then sat on the chair next to the bed since the bed was too small for us. "I'm Melanie Wood. You used to call me Mel. You are Anna Warren. We are twenty-five, Omega in the Wild Wolves Pack."

"Omega?" I blinked my eyes a few times. "Don't tell me .... Can you get me a mirror?"

"Sure!" Melanie ran to get me a hand mirror.

When I looked at myself in the mirror, I knew it was Victoria Lewis's face-long red hair, a pair of green eyes, white skin, and a great body. I sighed, too relieved to see that I had lost nothing. But when I opened my mouth, I yelped and then covered my mouth with a hand. "No! It can't be!"

"Anna? What's wrong?"

I shook my head a few times. "It can't be!"

"Anna? You are scared me! Please, don't be like this."

"Mel, tell me. What are we?" Melanie looked at me as if I were losing my mind. "Are we werewolves?"

Melanie stared at me as if I had grown thorns on my head. "Of course, we are werewolves. We are she-wolves, to be exact." She grinned. Her dimples made her look sweet. Her oval face, short black hair, brown eyes, and brown skin are exotic. Her full lips look hot, but it's too bad she was too shy.

"Please tell me what happened before I was conscious," I asked her again.

"Well, Jack and his gang made fun of us as usual."

"Jack?"

"Jack Black, the Zeta of our pack. I don't know why. But he has targeted me from the first time he saw me. Since you are always there to protect me, he targets you too. But three days ago, he went too far."

"What happened?" I leaned my head on the pillow.

"He kissed me and wanted to touch me. I screamed, and you showed up to help. Usually, Jack only asked his gang to torture us by using bamboo. He loves smacking our butts and legs, or he would make our lives miserable by complaining a lot to Mimi, the Psi of our pack. She is in charge of all Omegas."

"Oh, then what happened?"

"It didn't happen that way the last time. Jack caught you, and you kicked him. Then he brought you to the lake and threw you there. You were drowned. If Beta Cameron didn't help you, you might ...." Melanie didn't continue her words and sobbed. "I'm so glad our Beta helped you. But since then, you have lost your consciousness."

"How long have I been unconscious?" I asked.

"Three days."

I let out a sigh. "Who is Beta Cameron?"

"He is Jack's brother, the Beta of our pack, but he will soon be the Alpha tomorrow."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because he will mate Lisa Shadow, a Delta of the Hurricane Dawn Pack."

"Marrying her makes him the Alpha of our pack? How convenient!" I laughed and shook my head.

"No, you're wrong. Beta Cameron doesn't need to marry Delta Lisa, but he did it to merge the two packs under him. At least that's what I heard."

"Shortly, he wants the power."

"Maybe." Melanie sighed, and then she clucked her tongue. "I don't know, but he often observes you from afar."

"Why?" It seemed both siblings were weird. Jack often bullied Melanie and me, while his brother liked observing me from a distance.

"I don't know. Maybe he wants you."

~ Anna/Victoria ~

"Want me?" I frowned, as I couldn't recall anything about this Cameron guy. "How?"

"I don't know." Melanie shrugged. "From his stare, I think there is something between you two."

"Like what?"

"Uh, well, he often stares at you when he might think you didn't see him, but I'm confused that he has done nothing to you. He must like you, but why hasn't he done something about it?"

"No," I said while shaking my head, "you must be wrong, Mel. Maybe he just dislikes me."

"For what? You have sexy eyes, hair color, and body. I envy you sometimes." Melanie sighed. "While I'm too skinny for any werewolves to see me twice."

"I disagree. The beauty is in the beholder's eye." Then I remembered something. "About Jack, why does he often bully you?"

"Before the last time, I thought he might hate my clumsiness. But when he kissed me and wanted to touch me ...." Melanie's face was red. "I don't know. Maybe he wanted to tease me."

"Don't tell me you like him."

Melanie said nothing, but I could see she liked Jack from her blush and fingers twirling her skirt. "I will help you with Jack."

Melanie shook her head. "No, Jack is impossible to fall for me. I'm not his type at all."

"His type? How do you know he has a certain type of woman he likes?"

"He often spends time with plump girls. I'm too skinny for his liking." Melanie bit her lower lip and hugged herself.

"Hey, don't give up before you fight. I will help you."

Melanie gave me a weak smile. "Thanks."

Then, a loud sound of growl filled the air. "Wild Wolves Pack, gather immediately in the field!"

Melanie patted my hand. "I must go. You can take a rest."

"No, I'm okay. I want to see what is going on until we need to gather in the field."

"It's Cameron and Lisa's marking day."

"What?" I tilted my head to the side.

"The marking day. You know, the day when a werewolf and a she-wolf bite each other neck as a sign that they are mates."

Suddenly, I remembered I had done the marking with Constantine in my past life as a vampire. The agony and longing for him filled my heart. Was he reincarnated in the same life as me? If that was the case, I would find him. Would he recognize me if we met again later?

I still remember the last words before I let out my last breath. Constantine told me he loved me. I longed to hear the three words all my life, but we couldn't be together in our past life. Constantine, where are you? Could it be the Highest One gave us another chance to be together? No matter where you were, I would find you ....

Then Melanie held my hand, which helped me not think of Constantine for a while. "Let's go to the field now. We may get the front seats."

We walked to the field. Many sat there already, while some were standing as they were waiting. Then we sat on the ground. But after a while, Melanie's body was tense.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" She doesn't want to look me in the eye.

"Your body is tense so suddenly." But before asking more, I saw Jack and his gang were already on the field. Jack glanced at me, but his stare locked on Melanie. "He stared at you right now."

"What are you talking about?" When Melanie raised her head, she gasped to see Jack, who observed her a few feet away. Melanie bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Her face was flushed.

"If you truly like him, you must be brave, Mel. Don't worry. I support you, but you should give him a lesson first so he won't look down on you."

"What do you mean?" Melanie asked me again.

I smiled, recalling my experience in my past life. "Some men can't express their feelings well. So, they bother the women they like to be closer to them. I think it's what happens with Jack too."

"But ...."

"Relax! I will teach you how to conquer him. He will be yours soon." I grinned at Melanie.

"Thanks, Anna."

I shook my head. "Please, call me Victoria from now. Victoria Lewis."

Melanie nodded. "Okay, whatever you want, Victoria."

Then, some werewolves joined us in the field. They wore different clothes.

"They are from Hurricane Dawn Pack," Melanie whispered, moving her chin toward the Hurricane Dawn Pack's people.

I nodded. "Where is Lisa?"

"She must be with Cameron."

I didn't ask for more info. Later, two older men walked in the middle of the field.

"My people, we welcome our ally among us. Welcome, Hurricane Dawn Pack." The older man shook the hand of another person. "It is an honor to introduce you all to Alpha Fred Shadow, the Alpha of the Hurricane Dawn Pack."

"Who is he?" I asked Melanie.

"He is our Alpha-Horace Black."

Some werewolf howled to greet Alpha Fred. He howled back and smiled. "It is great to be here. I am so excited to see my daughter's marking day, and the most importantly, we will be great allies," Alpha Fred said.

"Yes, it is wonderful that we can bind the alliance by having our children be mates." Alpha Horace nodded. "Delta Lisa Shadow and my son, Beta Cameron Black, will come here soon." He looked around, then nodded. "I have a special announcement. After their marking ceremony, I will retire and let Cameron be our Alpha. So, it will strengthen the alliance between our packs."

Alpha Fred smiled and patted Alpha Horace's shoulder. "What a great idea! I want to follow your steps too. After the ceremony, I will retire and let my son, Beta Bill Shadow, take over and be the Alpha of my pack. It is the time for youngsters to lead our packs."

"Agree!" Alpha Horace laughed, and both of them howled together.

Later, a man and woman walked to the field. My heart was beating fast.

"Ah, here they are. Our marking ceremony will start soon. Cameron, Lisa, please stand here!" Alpha Horace said.

Before I could stop myself, I stood and walked to approach them. "Stop it! The marking ceremony should be stopped!"

Alpha Horace glared at me. Then he pointed his finger toward me and growled. "How dare you! Catch this Omega and throw her in jail!"

Immediately, two werewolves caught my arms. I struggled to free myself and screamed, "Constantine, help me! But, please, don't mark her! You are mine! We have marked each other!"

Suddenly, Cameron held his head with two hands and groaned, "Stop it! Your voice hurts my head!" He kneeled on the ground, still holding his head with two hands.

"Constantine, remember me? I'm Victoria! I have found you again! Constantine!" I touched my neck where Constantine bit me in our past life. Then I tilted my head so he could see it. "You bit me here. Do you remember?" His expression was still enduring pain. Then tears flowed down my cheeks. "Constantine, I'm Victoria. Do you still remember me?"

"Bring her now! No one can postpone the marking ceremony!" Alpha Horace growled. "Impertinent Omega!" He shook his head. "No worries, Alpha Fred, I will punish her severely."

"No!" Constantine-ah, no, in this life, he was Cameron-raised from the ground. "No one may touch her. She is mine!"

"What?!" Lisa grabbed Cameron's hand. "Have you lost your mind? Who is the slut? How dare she ruin our day?!" Her eyes were fiery. "Don't tell me that she is your woman!"

Cameron said nothing. He only stared at me from afar. "She is mine. She is ... my mistress."

More tears wet my face. Constantine remembered me .... Constantine, then why didn't you claim me? Why did you choose her to be yours? Why not me? I couldn't see clearly as my eyes blurred with tears.

"Take her to my room!" Cameron ordered the two werewolves who still held my arms. "I will punish her myself."

The two werewolves brought me to a large room. It was a gray room with a white granite floor. My feet were cold when I stepped on the floor. Then, the two werewolves tied my hands above my head and pushed me to the bed. Next, they bound my hands to the headboard. Later, these guards also tied my feet so I couldn't move.

Afterward, the door swung open. A tall werewolf came in with a powerful and intimidating aura within him. "I am Bill Shadow, the Beta of Hurricane Dawn Pack. I need a moment with this she-wolf. She has ruined my sister's day! I can't let her go just like that."

The guards looked at each other. Then one of them nodded. "Beta Bill, we are sorry for the disturbance caused by our Omega. We will leave you with her for five minutes." Then, both of them left the room.

After waiting a while, Bill walked closer to the bed and sneered. "Well, well, well, look who's here? Victoria Lewis, we met again."

I frowned as I didn't recognize Bill. "Have we known each other?"

He laughed, then sat on the bed. My nape hair raised suddenly, and sweat poured on my forehead and neck. Who was he? I didn't know him, but why did my body react strongly to his presence?

Bill placed his hand on my stomach. "You didn't know my name, but I bet your body still remembered my touch."

He lowered his head to my face and stopped with approximately two hands. His hand moved to my face, touching my lips. "I still remember how soft your lips were. How you screamed when I entered your body."

Then, suddenly, the painful memory came back. "You! The rapist!"

"Ah, finally, you remember me. Yes, my dear, in this life, I am Bill Shadow, the Beta of Hurricane Dawn Pack, Lisa's brother. It seems we are destined to find each other." He moved his face closer to mine, then whispered, "I have enjoyed your body and got your virginity. I want it again. I assume you haven't spent the time on Cameron's bed, have you?" His fingers trailed my lips.

I bit his fingers, and he laughed. "Biting? I love eager women more than shy and meek women. You spark my desire more, Victoria."

"Leave! You are not on your territory!" I shouted.

"Ordering me now?" Bill smiled lazily as his hand roamed to my chest. He flicked his fingers on the top of my mound, then bent his face.

But before he could do further, the door was opened, and a cold voice stopped Bill. "What are you doing here in my room and on my bed?"

Bill straightened his body and whispered, "Your punishment is delayed. But I assure you that we will enjoy our time." He stood and nodded at Cameron. "I only want to talk with this brazen she-wolf for a few minutes. As she dares to interrupt the important ceremony, she must understand that it has huge consequences."

Cameron approached us and glared at Bill. "Sorry for the interruption. I will go to the Hurricane Dawn Pack to discuss the ceremony within two days. Meanwhile, please give me time to punish this Omega by myself."

"Sure! Though I can help you with that."

Cameron raised his eyebrows. "Oh?"

"If you give her to me, I will assure you she won't be a problem for you or Lisa anymore."

Cameron said nothing for a while. "Thank you for your offer. However, I am more than capable of disciplining my pack members. Considering she is only a weak Omega, you don't need to bother to lay your hand on her. I will do it by myself."

"Very well." Bill walked to the door. He grabbed the door handle, but then he turned his body. "Tell me, has the Omega marked you? Since if she has done that, you can't continue the marking ceremony with my sister."

"That is what I want to find out by myself."

Bill wrinkled his forehead. "What do you mean?"

Cameron let out a sigh. "I don't know when and how it happened, but somehow, I felt that I might lose some of my memory. I need to find out about it."

"If you have marked each other, it is big humiliation to my pack." Bill clenched his fist. "I will demand enormous compensation for my sister and my family's honors."

"Don't worry about that."

Then Bill left the room, and only Constantine and I remained there. What would happen now?
