Chapter 10- Omegas

Heyoo,
First off, I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas holidays! Anywho, hope you enjoy this next chapter....

~~~~~~~~~~~~*°*°*~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xander's POV

Weeks had gone by, and I had yet to spend any time with Maya alone. Any time I had spent with her so far, other people were around. I guess I shouldn't complain- I was lucky enough to find my mate at all- but still, Aiden and I both longed to be with her. So, today, I had every intention of spending my day with Maya. But- as I would soon find out- it was a lot harder that it looked.

~~~☯~~~

The school day had come to an end, and I still hadn't asked Maya to hang out with me.

'That's because you're pathetic. All you need to do is use words and make them into sentences. If it were up to me, Mate would be marked already' Aiden observed,

'Yea, Maya would be marked, and scared shitless.' I countered, causing him to huff.

I watched as she left the school, and walked off into the distance with Brody, heading towards the shops,

'Hey Brody. Where are you and Maya going?' Curiously, I asked,

'Oh, We're going to the diner. She sure spends a lot of time there.' He observed,

'She barely ever goes home.' I added. I made a mental note to ask her about that later.

I got into my car, and drove home, feeling defeated. When an idea came to me. Quickly, I mindlinked Brody to bring Maya over, saying that we could eat something here instead of at Jess'. Brody complied, telling me they would be there in a few minutes.

Brody's POV

Maya and I made our way to Xander's house. We walked, considering neither of us can drive, and took the way through the woods. Suddenly, Maya asked how I knew Xander called us- considering I hadn't received a text or anything. This caused us to talk about mindlinks, and how they worked. I made a point not to mention mates thought. Somehow, the conversation ended up being about the pack, and our different ranks. Leading me to explain that there was the Alpha and Luna, the betas, the gammas, the 'normal people' as Maya dubbed, and then the Omegas.

We got to his house as Maya suddenly spoke up,

"I know what everything else is, but what's an Omega's job?" She asked, causing me to mentally facepalm and my wolf to scold me. Noticing my expression, she asked again, her voice increasingly authoritative,

"They may or may not be the pack runts." I muttered. Not understanding, she looked at me expectedly,

"They are basically pack servants." I cringed, every pack had omegas, and the majority of the packs used them as servants. I knew it was wrong. Xander did too, but my father always insisted that they stay that way, instead of being protected like they used to.

My words caused Maya to grow angry, murderously angry. Suddenly, she burst open the door and stormed upstairs, probably following Xander's scent.

Maya's POV

Brody's words caused me to fill up with anger. I was known for having a temper, and becoming angry over small things, but this time it wasn't small. People were being kept as slaves. This was not okay, no matter how you twisted it.

Cora reprecated my feelings, and urged me to go up the stairs. Too enraged to question it, I stormed up the stairs- Brody following me- and barged into a room, swinging open the door. I didn't know what to expect behind the door, but what I did see was very unexpected... To say the least.
