The Omega's Rise (love, lies & loyalty)

~Aurora~

I always imagined that turning eighteen would be a watershed moment in my life. I expected to wake up and finally be free from this hellhole. But when I awoke this morning, everything felt the same: I moaned as I scrubbed the floor, and beads of sweat dripped from my face. I can hear laughing coming from the dining area where my pack ate together, with the exception of me, who is an Omega, the most unfortunate and weakest member of the pack. They felt I was an Omega since I lacked werewolf characteristics.

I've been able to shift since I was a child, but I'm different from everyone else because werewolves can only change after they reach the age of eighteen, so I kept my wolf hidden. Before my parents died, they taught me how to disguise my wolf form and powerful aura. I was ten years old when my parents died. When my Alpha father died, someone assumed leadership of the pack. The now-Alpha tossed me into the barn, where I lived as an Omega. It has always been my desire to avenge my parents' deaths, because their deaths were caused by an adversary that I must discover no matter what it takes.

However, being an Omega is difficult because my job is to follow everyone's orders. Since then, I've trained myself every night on the far side of the woods, where no one would notice me. Also my wolf color is actually very different from normal wolves and also stronger so I felt that's the reason why my parents had wanted me hid it from anyone because no one is to be trusted. But now that I'm eighteen, I can't wait for my partner to come get me out of this horrible hole. Aside from housework, I work as a bartender at a club, and I am well aware that any werewolf who visits sees every girl there as having gone astray because it is a werewolf bar, and the werewolves are largely entertained by strippers. After I finished scrubbing the floor, I looked at the clock and realized I was really late; so I rushed over to the club, which is situated at the other side of town. A place I actually call my comfort zone.

It screams money and elegance, and most of the top wolves who are tired of the day's jobs come here to relax just by seeing a woman dance all over them. I was lucky to obtain a job here; they wouldn't hire Omegas like me, but at least I was favored, and since all I have to do is serve drinks, it's really not a big deal.

"Where the fuck are Lisa and Kenzy?," Damian, the owner of the club, asked.

"I don't know exactly where they are, I haven't seen them today since I came." He immediately rushed by me, enraged.

"What's going on, and why haven't they come?" I wondered. It seems they are playing with their job here.

I went ahead and kept doing what I was doing while humming to the music playing in the club.

"We are short on entertainers right now, as you can see Lisa and Kenzy are nowhere to be seen," Damian grumbled, searching the audience. "You need to fill in." My heart raced,

"Did he just say I should fill in?" I wondered to myself.

I've never danced on stage, let alone performed in such an exposed manner.

"Do I know them?" I requested because I didn't have a choice; in this situation, my salary is at stake, and I don't want anyone I know to see me in such a disgusting manner.

"It's not important," he reassured me, placing his hand on my shoulder. "If you follow through on this, you will have four hundred dollars from that dance alone tonight."

I considered that, biting my lip. I can't find a better offer than this one at the moment. I could sustain myself on that amount for a while, using it for bugs.

"I'll do it," then his smile widened.

"Aurora, they are strong individuals, you will go to any lengths to ensure their happiness," he said, snagging my arm as I attempted to stand up.

"They are in room five." With a nod, he released his hold on me.

I took steady breaths to calm myself down, and the concept of how I was going to do this came back to me. I tried to remember how Lisa swings her waist and performs in front of the pole, and while thinking about that, I entered the room. I thought nothing could make me reconsider my decision until I opened the door and saw who was inside: Adrianna and Jackson, the two bullies in school and pack who have determined to make my life a living hell, they were also friends to Tyler Stone, the future Alpha. Tyler rarely comes to school, and when he does, I don't go, so we haven't met in person.

"So this is exactly what you do?"

Adrianna inquired, her face sporting a sly smile.

"Of course why not it's in her," Jackson remarked, glancing at me with a look of hatred on his face.

"I think Tyler would really like what he actually ordered," Jackson said while glancing over at Adrianna to see her reaction.

Despite my inner turmoil, I forced myself to remember that this was a great opportunity and that I couldn't sabotage it or Damian would dismiss me. I dragged my legs mechanistically to the pole; by now, I was relieved that I was at least required to dress sensibly rather than stripping down here unless they specifically requested it.

At once Jackson approached me and attempted to grab me, but I managed to avoid his grip.

"Jackson, you're not allowed to fuck them," Adrianna rolled her eyes.

"I don't give a damn, she's ours because she is paid to do so." He murmured, giving me a passionate look.

I was impatient and wanted to leave here at once, then I walked quickly towards the door when all of a sudden my nostrils were assaulted with a stench I had never experienced before. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but there was a hint of familiarity. I heard someone utter "mate," and that's when it hit me like a freight train.

"Tyler, I know this day will come, finally we are mates," Adrianna cried out behind me.

"Not you," he murmured, moving toward me and drawing nearer to me this time. I wasn't ready for the hatred and loathing I saw circling in my mate's pupils when I forced my eyes to meet his. I refused to even dare breathe, so I stayed still. It felt like a ticking bomb that might explode at the least provocation, and the tension was so intense that you could cut it with a knife.

Adrianna said, "You have got to be kidding me," almost yelling, "this stripper is your mate and I'm not?" after a beat of silence.

"So what happens now, Tyler?" "Are you going to accept her?" Jackson asked, breaking into a fit of laughter.

"Fuck no," Tyler shouted, "why would I want a useless runt as a mate?"

I was fighting so hard to stop the tears that were on the verge of spilling out of my eyes when I wondered if I had just been indirectly rejected. Jackson gawked at me with a giggle that suggested I was some sort of rejected stone, while Tyler turned to Adrianna and smashed his lips on her without even looking at me.

All I could hear was one word, "run."

~Aurora~

When I arrived at school the next morning, the news had already spread throughout the building. Am not really surprised at all, and this really kept me up all night thinking about the decision Tyler will give to me because the way he saw me yesterday was not in a good way but I still had hope he wouldn't reject me.

"Look at her, I had no idea she was a stripper and Tyler's mate; but I'm confident he'll reject such a weak omega," one of the students murmured behind my back as I passed them by.

I was hoping the day would go by fast because the rumors were getting to me.

As I was packing my stuff in my locker, my ass was promptly smacked, and only for me to turn with wrath in me and see Jackson directly behind me with a sneer on his face. Before I could vent my rage on him, I could sense everyone's attention was on me. I felt that Tyler, who doesn't often attend school, had called for this gathering as soon as he and Adrianna stepped in.

"Tyler, Jackson called his attention while still facing me," "I hope you don't mind me spanking her each time I see her, she is your mate after all."

"You really entertained us really well yesterday night at the club," he turned to look at me. "We will visit there more often because of you. What do you think Tyler?" He turned back to ask him.

I saw his actions of what he was trying to do, and he even had the mind to do it publicly. Tyler noticed immediately I did. Jackson won't let it go easily that his mate is a lowly Omega.

Tyler's pride and ego were damaged today, and Jackson is not going to let it go.

"I, Tyler Stone of the Dawn rise pack, reject you Aurora Wilson as my mate." "Accept it or reject it, I don't give a fuck" he remarked icily before turning his back on me. It was almost as if he was spitting words in my direction. His comments were like a scalpel, piercing right through my heart. Though I knew this was going to happen, but I'm in a lot of pain right now. Doesn't he feel any pain at all for him to just say this so easily to me not privately but publicly In Front of everyone and now the hatred they all had for me would increase the more. Adrianna laughed as she saw the look on my face, knowing fully well I was hurting.

Nooooo!

"No! You can't do this to me, Tyler!" I was really not myself when I said this but the pain was too much to bear.

"I will make sure you'll regret this!"

"I, Aurora Wilson, also reject you Tyler Stone as my mate! I hope the moon goddess curses you so you never experience true happiness again! Tyler Stone, I loathe you to the moon and back!!!" I said. Saying these words relieved some of the anguish, because I sensed the precise instant the bond broke. Tyler flinched a little when I saw anguish flash across his features, but he did a good job of hiding it, and then I remembered I was still surrounded by other students and this time phone cameras were pointed at me.

"Shit!"

I turned my back and exited the school grounds without even looking at Tyler. His rejection broke my heart into tiny bits.

I had to sit on a stone after I got away from the school premises.

My mate has rejected me! I buried my face in my knees, crying my heart out.

Now he has done this, the hatred they all had for me will increase more and I know very soon my face would be uploaded on social media. I felt my mate could save me but instead he made everything worse.

"Why am I always unlucky in life?"

My mate openly rejected me, and I couldn't have a mate again. I know he was trying so hard to accept me at the bar, or so I believed, and now he has simply rejected me.

I quickened my pace and began running till I reached the pack house and was in the comfort of the old storage barn known as my room. I collapsed on the bed, crying my eyes out.

Finding a mate is one thing, but being accepted by him is another.

I didn't leave my room again and I didn't even feel hungry because I didn't have any appetite to eat or drink anything until the night, when the gravity of my situation began to sink in. I am Tyler's mate. I was Tyler's mate, and he rejected me.

As I was contemplating that, I heard my door's knob rattle. I straightened my back because nobody should be in my room at this late hour. It's late.

On a typical day, nobody even ventures this far into the basements. I gave a little scream as the door swung open. My heart tightened as I recognized the scent as being Tyler's. Until one of us takes another mate, our tie will remain broken, but the feelings will not go away. Entering the room, he looked about scornfully. His searing anger hit me the instant his eyes met mine, yet there was something more there, something I couldn't quite place.

"What exactly are you doing, h...," he pushed me against the wall before I could complete my sentence.

"All day," he said, "Jackson has not stopped teasing me about the fact that you are my mate." He spit the word "you" like it was a curse.

"Please, you don't want to do this." I begged, and he pinned me with his body; I realized he wasn't intoxicated, so what's wrong with him now?

"I haven't felt like myself since you said those words to me. You are really messing with my head and I really don't know why the moon Goddess would pair me to omega. Omega are for omega, and I am an Alpha, how could I accept this. So, since it's like this, I've come to give you what you want," he murmured to me, his eyes filled with hunger.

I really do not understand what he meant since I said those words to him. I really wanted to tell him that I'm also an Alpha but I can't because he would not believe a word I say.

I tried fighting him, but he was still much stronger than me. He kissed me roughly, and I could tell he wanted me so badly; I don't know why he is acting this way all of a sudden and I don't want any regrets at all. He tried to press his way inside me but stopped abruptly, then stood up quickly. I believe he felt I was a virgin. As he dressed and prepared to depart, he glanced at me and stated,

"You're still my mate. Your body is mine, whether you like it or not."

I hurriedly went to shut the door as soon as he left before he changed his mind; I was relieved that he was considerate enough not to take away my innocence.

At this point, all I could think about was leaving this pack since I believe this will continue and he will not be as nice as he was today.

~Tyler~

I still can't comprehend that an Omega may be my mate; I had hoped that Adrianna and I would be matched together after dating for some years. Adrianna is gorgeous. I may say I loved Adrianna, which is why I abandoned my mate. I am already attached to Adrianna. We're already engaged, and I don't want to hurt her. So I made a choice to openly reject my mate because Jackson was also pouring fuel to the flames. He was the one who made it become viral at school, and I am quite unhappy with him.

Rejection. She also rejected me, and it fucking hurts, because of my decision, my wolf is crying also and won't talk to me. I am aware of my rudeness, and I regret hurting my supposed mate. Now it is too late. I rejected her already. Every minute, her image would flash through my head. All I could think of was her.

"Tyler! Tyler, are you okay? I have been calling your name since. Why does it look like you have something bothering you?" I realized that I had been standing there since Aurora departed when Adrianna called out to me.

"Are you feeling bad for rejecting her!" Adrianna grimaced.

Damn! What's up with this girl? I had to pull her off the school grounds fast before she starts up trouble.

"I don't," I replied angrily and moved away from her. Adrianna shouted my name, but I didn't care. I couldn't stop thinking about how much my heart hurt. I had no idea rejection could be so distracting. And I had no idea it aches that bad.

Is she also hurting like this?

Damn, why can't I stop thinking about her? I've been struggling to accept her since I discovered she was my mate at the club, but I felt terrible when I rejected her.

I sighed, changed into my wolf form, and dashed towards the trees.

Aurora Wilson, what did you do to me? Why have your words stuck up with me? And why do I feel as if I already regret the second you responded? The second you rejected me out of hatred? You have got to be kidding me!. I have to find her; she is all I desire at this time. I let out a sigh and stopped running. I've been running for hours, and it's now late. I saw a big rock and sat down, still thinking about my idiocy. I've also been waiting for her for quite some time, and when I saw her, I rejected her.

Stupid me.

I despised myself more than Aurora did. But, Moon Goddess, why an Omega? I still don't understand why, I'm an Alpha. I don't know how I am going to go about with this.

"No!You can't do this to me Tyler!"

"I will make sure you'll regret this"

"I, Aurora Wilson, also reject you Tyler Stone as my mate! I hope the Moon Goddess curses you so you never experience true happiness again! Tyler Stone, I loathe you to the moon and back!!!".

I heard her words in my brain again. I remembered her gorgeous eyes when she spoke those things to me, and I totally disappointed my mate.

"I apologize..." I spoke to my wolf, but he never responded. He is also angry with me. I know I'm the dumbest werewolf on the planet!

I muttered and rushed back to my pack house. As I approached my pack house, I walked into my room without saying anything to anyone. I flung my body into the mattress as soon as I entered my room. I buried my face in the pillow and yelled at the top of my lungs. My heart continued to ache, and I burst into tears for the first time.

I need Aurora Wilson.

I can't keep living because of the remorse I felt. And I will forever blame myself if Aurora does not want to see me again. She is also hurting. I can feel it. My heart is also crying in pain. This feeling is entirely new to me. And it was because of Aurora Wilson.

"No!, you can't do this to me Tyler!."

Her voice reverberated in my head again, and it was eating away at me.

Fuck it.

I need to go see her and apologize for what I said. I rose up and started pacing back and forth.

Will she let me in? Would she like to see me again? Fuck, I need to find her before making conclusions.

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

When I arrived at her house, I had to allow myself in because I wanted her all to myself. I couldn't tell her I came here to retract my comments, but instead became irritated and thought about how she slays her body for other clients at the club because she is a stripper. I felt jealous and wanted her all to myself at the time.

"Please, you don't want to do this." She spoke to me.

Yes, I don't want to, but I just needed to feel her; she's driving me nuts.

I couldn't stop thinking about her all day, and seeing her now has only fueled my need.

"I haven't felt like myself since you spoke those words to me. You are really playing with my head, and I don't understand why the Moon Goddess would couple me with an Omega. Omega are for omega, and I am an Alpha; how could I accept this? So, since it's like this, I've come to give you what you want," I muttered to her.

I detected a tiny uncertainty in her eyes, and I know she understands now that I'm not intoxicated and have come to do this to her.

I wanted her all to myself and truly wanted to feel every inch of her gorgeous body. I didn't even give a damn about Adrianna's opinion of me or whether this would end our relationship at this point. Aurora is the reason for my extreme pain, and although I'm making every effort to stop myself from hurting, I'm far stronger than her.

How could a female be so attractive and seductive all at once? In my view, she resembled a goddess. I wasn't sure why I was behaving the way I was, but I found myself drawn to her and wanting to be inside of her.

I started kissing her and noticed that she has a pleasant aroma, which drove me wild. I tried to shove through her but realized she was a virgin.

"Wait! What! "How come I didn't see her as one based on how she entertained us at the club the other day?" I reflected.

I had to let her be; I didn't want her to detest me much more.

"You're still my mate. Your body is mine, whether you like it or not." I spoke to her. I didn't even wait for her response before bolting out the door, only to discover later that she had shut it from behind me.

I started walking towards my pack, but I had conflicting thoughts about what had just happened. My main goal was to retract my remarks, but when I saw her, I became jealous and began needing her immediately.

"What would she think of me now that I had acted like a beast in front of her?" I wondered to myself.

This time, I really messed things up. My wolf was angrier than I was this time, but he was also involved in what had just transpired.

"I never realized I was such a beast until now."

"James, could you check up on Aurora Wilson? I'd like to know everything about her, including her employment and family. Everything!" I said to my beta using a mind link.

Alright, Alpha I will do exactly that. After a few hours of being unable to sleep and just thinking about Aurora Wilson, James barged into my room without knocking.

"How dare y---!"

"I'm sorry, Alpha, but the girl is missing."

What?!

I stood up instantly and dashed out of the door, headed for the forest as fast as I could. You can't leave me, Aurora Wilson. You can't leave me heartbroken because of what occurred between us tonight.

"I still need you, I can't let you go,"

"You're mine."
