My little Omega

I rubbed the back of my neck tiredly and closed my eyes. This workday was too long for me. A quick glance at the clock on the wall and i know that I could start packing up my things. Finally, the day ends.

The work wasn't difficult, but sitting in front of the computer for ten hours made me a little tired.

While I was packing my things, I heard a familiar snort.

"Somebody is leaving early again." I heard Annabelle mumble snidely. You and I would never be friends. People mostly just ignored me, but Annabelle was the only colleague who really seemed to hate me. For whatever reason.

Ignoring her, I turned off my PC and got up. Get away from here.

"Wait Omega." Her snippy voice held me back. Even if she was human, she was above me in the hierarchy. As an Omega, I had no right to complain about anything. So I sighed and did what I always do. I obeyed even though I didn't want to.

"It's true that the Alpha is coming to town, isn't it? How do I make sure I can get the Alpha's attention? You, as a werewolf, must know, even if you don't have much to say."

Laughing, she threw her long brown hair over her shoulder and looked at her friends, who were now all eyeing me with interest. The Alpha. It was a big topic for us, also for the humans. After all, it wasn't every day that Alpha of America came to our small town. The alpha of our pack had emphatically warned me not to wander around town while such an important person was present. In case anyone knows there's an omega living here.

"Yes, the alpha is coming, but I don't know how could you get his attention," I murmured in a low voice.

"Of course you don't know. You don't know anything. I heard this alpha is super rich and super single.”

She and her friends giggled and I had to keep calm to not roll my eyes.

"Tell me Annabelle, who exactly is this Alpha? You muss know that. You know a lot about werewolves.” One of her friends flattered her again.

"Yeah, you're right." She giggled. "Well you have to know that this Alexander isn't just any alpha, but the alpha of alphas. The king of the werewolves. Whoever has him owns everything!”

Humans had no idea of the way werewolves live. Yes, the alpha was single, but Annabelle and her friends would be the last people he would pay attention to. They were human. It would be impossible for them to be the mates of a werewolf. The Goddess of the Moon had chosen for them. Many waited for years. Some had lovers during that time, but nothing serious could ever happen. Not with humans.

But I would not tell her. So I just stood still and waited for her to finish daydreaming. I finally wanted to go and cleared my throat slightly. And I had the attention on me again.

"What?" Annabelle snapped at me now. "Are you stuck here? Go, get out of here. You're not helpful at all.” Rolling her eyes, she turned away from me and returned to their conversation.

Yes, my life is wonderful.

Without saying a word, I left the office and headed out into the cold. Shivering, I pulled my thin jacket tighter around my body and again cursed the fact that I was such a useless wolf. Normally, werewolves didn't get cold that easily. -10 degrees should be nothing for me, but I was shaking now. Half an hour. After half an hour I would be home. A hot tub, some soup and cocoa would certainly warm me up quickly.

With that thought, I quickened my steps. At least the evening tonight should be good.

With completely soaked shoes, I unlocked my apartment door and stepped into my cold apartment. It was colder than I had thought, but I wouldn't turn on the heating, the prices were too expensive for that and a warm sweater was enough.

Humming, I went to the fridge. It wasn't full, just some ready-made meals, but that didn't matter. The tomato soup wasn't the best, but it was also good enough.

While the soup was slowly simmering, I ran my hot bath. After a day like this, I just needed something to relax my tense muscles. Humming, I took my finished soup and made my way towards the bathroom. It might seem pretty weird to others, but I didn't care. It had to be some benefit to living alone. I could also eat soup in the bathtub. With a sigh of relief, I sank into the hot water and closed my eyes. How I would like to have some music now, but my ancient cell phone only worked for making calls and I didn't have a radio. So, it was just me and my thoughts. Sometimes I wondered why me? Why did I have to be born an Omega? An alpha's daughter? While my sister could be a normal beta. She was allowed to start a family. She had a mate and kids while I was stuck in this stupid town and would probably never leave. How unfair it is!

Again, I had to think back to the earlier conversation. Why did the Alpha come here such a small town? Were there any problems in the packs that he had to take care of? If so, I could see why I should stay away. An Omega like me would only piss him off, and I'm sure no one would want to take that risk. Not that I mind. Yawning, I leaned more into the hot water.

I would like to stay here forever. Tomorrow would be my day off and I would put on a nice movie, cook something small and not let anyone into my apartment.

I had to think a little wistfully that nobody wanted to see me here anyway. My gaze wandered over my scar-covered body. The result of my attempts to escape from this ghastly city. My will to get out of here was still there, but I didn't have the courage to do. I didn't know if I could endure something like this again. Annoyed, I shook off those thoughts. I should relax and stop thinking about things I couldn't change.

Cuddled up in my warmest sweater and a fresh pair of wool socks, I laid myself comfortable down in front of my small TV and let the evening program sprinkle me.

Until suddenly there was a knock at the door. Strange, I never had visitors, so no matter who was there, it couldn't be good.

Frowning, I stood up quietly and made my way carefully towards the hallway. I tried hard to get my nose to smell the person outside the door, but it didn't look familiar. My nose just told me it had to be a man.

By the moon, who could that be?

There was a knock again.

"Miss, I know you're here, please open the door."

Yes, definitely a strange man. My heart started beating wildly. No, he must have mistaken her in the door. He couldn't want to be with me.

"Miss Elisabeth Scott, please open the door."

I stood there frozen. So, he really meant me. What had I done? Has anyone complained about me? Oh gods, I wasn't allowed to open the door.

Everything inside me was screaming to hide somewhere. He would surely do something to me.

“Miss, the alpha wants to see you. Please come out now.”

Yep, definitely time to panic.

My father showed me more than once what happened when an alpha saw an omega. He would kill me or do much worse to me.

My mother used to tell me wonderful fairy tales about Omegas. That they are something special, that they are valued. But after her death, I was able to learn painfully that those were actually just fairy tales.

I couldn't do that anymore. An alpha was one thing, but two? I'd rather die.

I quickly ran into the kitchen and got one of my silver knives.

"Elisabeth Scott, open the door immediately!"

Did I hear panic in his voice? I didn't care now.

"You can forget that," I said dryly.

I heard him call out something else, but by then I had already made the first deep cut with the knife.

My arm was already starting to burn like crazy. A consequence of the silver. The wound would heal as slowly as a human’s, and while the blood ran down my arm, I made the next cut with trembling hands.

Dazed, I heard the front door smashed open and saw a tall man running toward me. Maybe I could have run away, but my body stopped moving. Somehow, I had landed on the ground.

The man's mouth moved, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. I felt something press against my cuts and saw through my blurred vision that the guard was tying bits of cloth around my arms. Did he want to stop the bleeding?

Was the man really trying to save me? Did he want to take me safely to the Alpha so only he could torment me?

I defended myself half-heartedly, but it was no use. I could feel myself being lifted. He carried me quickly but carefully down the stairs and after a short while I felt myself being laid down on a soft thing. The room around me began to rock and move. Probably a car, but opening my eyes was just too hard. I just wanted to sleep. Tears formed in my eyes. With a lot of willpower I tried to blink her away while my mother's smiling face appeared in front of my eyes. Those warm gaze that I missed so much. My mom... I just wanted to see her. She should hug me and I was safe with her.

"Do not fall asleep! The alpha wants to see you and he's not going to be bloody excited about it!”

He grabs my arm and brought me back to reality with this pain. I groaned and squirmed.

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon. Hold on little ones.”

But I was worried. No matter where we went, I didn't want to go there.

Why couldn't I just have a relaxing weekend? He should have let me in my apartment.

I heard his energetic voice again, but the words didn't get through to me. Darkness came and I more than welcomed it. Just sleep and rest...
