The Omega Mated To The Four

Chapter 2 Chapter Two *Whispers from the ancient Willow's boughs, In a cavern's shadow where history allows.

By the moonlit lake, reflections guide, Symbols hidden in ripples, where secrets abide.

Guardians of the night, statues stand tall, Midnight echoes in the pack's sacred hall.

Within the ancient forest, the howls reveal, A path to follow, a destiny to unseal.* *At the mountaintop ruins where stars align, Celestial convergence, a gateway to find.

Decipher these riddles, a cosmic quest, To the Moonlit Nexus, where the Keystone rests.* I shot awake, cold sweat covering my skin and making it damp, I had the sweird dream again. I have been having the sweird dream for as long as I can remember but now it has becmore frequent and vivid.

I get up from my mattress and stumble through our humid cottage and into the bathroom, the wallpaper is falling off and the walls have mold, we live worse off than the town's homeless. But even this is grace from the pack, being in a pack guaranteed protection especially during the full moon, when those creatures cout.

I looked at myself in the mirror and as my mind cleared and the grogginess went away I was filled with disappointment, I could feel it, it wasn't there maybe I was born without a wolf but the pack doctor assuredthat I was a wolf,I had all the abilities of a wolf even though I was weaker than most of them which was a sign of being an Omega.

I was so excited when I went to sleep yesterday because today is the day I turned 18 and it's the day I finally shift.

Stronger wolves tend to shift earlier so for an omega liketurning at 18 is a normal thing.

I run my hand through my short hair and sigh.

I hear the noisey cupboards open and I know Mariah is awake, so I quickly take a shower wincing as the cool water touches my skin. I scrape this little lotion with my toothbrush and apply it to my face, hands and ankles. After that I threw on scargo shorts, a tank top and a hoodie to keep the taunting gazes away before walking into the kitchen.

"Hey birthday girl", she cheerfully calls out to me, but seeing the expression on my face sighs "it's okay Stormi you still have the rest of the day, so don't worry so much about it" she smiled warmly and said shoving a bowl of cereal in front of me.

I was just a pup left at the borders when Mariah found me, the pack didn't want to take in a pup with unknown origins but Mariah tookin anyway.

"Don't try to makefeel better Mariah, I'm just swoofless bastard child that nobody wanted", I say and grab my strap bag ready to start my half an hour trek to school.

She grabs a cupcake and puts a candle on it lighting it up as she brings it closer to"I will love you either way, you mean the world toand it hurtsto see that you don't even consider how much I love you" Now I feel bad I didn't want to take it out on her so I threw myself into her arms, she's all I have and is the most important person in my life. Soon after graduation Mariah and I will leave this town.

"Okay let's not cry today is your birthday, so make a wish and blow out the candle", she says smiling her black luscious locks falling to her face, Mariah is a beautiful woman I don't get why she never tried to move on after the death of her mate.

"Today is the day you found me", I remind her but I do as she tellsand wish for our plans to go our way. "Doesn't matter, it is still your birthday or close enough", she laughed "And I have a surprise for you", she says as she leadsto the back of the house, the ground is still wet from yesterday's rains and the water and mud slips into my worn out converse.

We go to the back of the house and the first thing I see is the bicycle that was in our basement for a long time, I've been asking for it for such a long tnow but she always turneddown because it was her mates and she had shorrible memories with him so she never wanted to see anything he owned.

I look at her in disbelief, I don't have to walk miles to school anymore, I throw myself into her arms and give her a sloppy kiss "thank you so much Mariah".

I can't believe it, the tires look brand new and the brakes are as well, she must have used sof our savings to fix it.

"You really need it, at least the bastard left something useful", she says, lighting a cigarette before kissing my forehead. "Tell you what, we have smoney to spare so after school what do you say? You and I go check out snew stuff at the thrift store? Get you sjeans and snew shoes as well?", "Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!", I yell in delight and jump up and down. "Before you leave!", she called out, and took out a little box from the pocket of her robe "I want you to have this", she said and handed the box to me. I quickly open it and inside of it is a brand new MP3 player. "I know how much you love listening to music", she said and I threw myself into her arms again.

"Thank you so much", I said and held onto her tightly.

"Okay that's enough otherwise you're going to be late", she said, planting a kiss onto my forehead. I have been using sof the money from doing other people's homework to save it. I don't even have a phone. The source of entertainment I have is the old rain my room that I use to listen to music while I study.

"Happy birthday my dear stormi", she smiled and said.

After saying my goodbyes to her I grab the cupcake and peddle to school. We live in the woods that surround our Alpha's mansion which is also used as the pack house. s the packhouse. Next to the woods is the training area that I avoid at all costs, because that is where the Vadabelt twins who are training to be border guards are found. Even the woods are dangerous but today the people that enjoy bullyingare not patrolling so I can relax and ride on the trail without fear, but even that was too much to ask. Just as I reached the edge of the woods that lead to the road a rope appeared from nowhere trippingfrom the bicycle. As I landed face first into the wet ground.

And I hear the mocking laugh I hate so much "hey there freak finally got your wolf or what?", Isaiah says folding his arms.

I landed face down and used my hand to protect my face that ended up with a huge splinter in my palm from a twig I landed on. I scream in pain.

"Awww you remembered my birthday? Thank you", I sneered, I would usually keep quiet, let him do whatever he wanted and after he got bored he would leavealone but I don't know what cover me, maybe it's because I was disappointed that I didn't get my wolf.

"And you better cup with new names Freak? What are you still in fifth grade? "I say and pull the twig out.

I then noticed the Jeep parked by the side of the road with Elijah in it scrolling through his phone, His piercing gray eyes, looking indifferent and unfazed by everything going on.

"Where is this fighting spirit coming from?", he questioned raising his eyebrow as amusement danced in his eyes "I like it", "Don't waste your twith the runt just get the homework and let's go", Elijah lazily said.

Isaiah grabs my strap on-bag, and throws the things in it onto the ground, and takes my cupcake and takes a bite out of it then spits it out on the ground together with my cupcake.

"Thanks very much Isaiah, that was my lunch", I sarcastically said and rolled my eyes.

When he isn't bullyingHis friendly demeanor is mirrored in his warm smile and expressive eyes, which hold a hint of mischief whenever he is talking.

He gets upset and pushesto the ground "it's beta Isaiah to you ",he spits his Light, sandy blonde hair falling casually across his forehead. Which gave him a relaxed and m ve approachable appearance. But I knew the real Isaiah, the one that took pleasure in making my life miserable. And I was reminded by the the almost drownedat the creek. I can still see him smiling down atwhy I fought to get his arms off my neck and the three of them Elijah, Alex and Austin laughed as they watched from the bank. I want to keep quiet like always or maybe cry so he can leavealone but today I didn't feel like it. I laugh sarcastically and look at him "with the way you take out tjust to mess withI'd say you like me".

"Are you out of your mind, eww", he says as he picks the papers up walking off and getting into the car. the weight of his disdain crushinglike a ton of bricks I picked up my things and put them back into my bag taking sleaves to clean my legs that were now covered in mud, clean myself up and get on my bicycle and cycle with one hand all the way to school.
