In My Blood (En- JakeHoon)

III

In other worlds, howls are all over the place indicating yet another fight among the pack members in Jake's village. But the said guy is just seated by the window of their house as he just look at every wolf in envy as they physically attack each other and showing their strength which Jake doesn't have.

He heard the door open and went to greet his parents but they just pushed him aside and proceed to their rooms. Well not before dumping a bag on the table indicating that the content is for dinner and Jake will be in charge. Like always.

Jake was hurt, yes but he's used to this kind of treatment since the day he was born. He just smiled as he began to prepare for their dinner which consists of deer meat and other fancy dish from the human world. They also eat fancy and delicious food but Jake knew no matter how delicious, he won't be able to taste it and he will spend his dinner time in his room eating a piece of dry and crusty bread.

They hunt their food but others will just simply buy them from the humans. Jake was aware of the humans' attitude towards them but he's more afraid of his parents.

Ever since he was born, his parents literally frowned on him without the wolf even opening his eyes. He is clearly unwanted, why? Simple, he was an omega, the lowest ranked wolf, the weakest kind, and simply the useless one. Omegas do one job, to maintain a household, basically a maid.

Omegas also cannot shift unless mated and they're the most unwanted mate by any wolf. But in Jake's case, he's a male omega which makes it worse for him as he won't be able to mate with a female and have a child. Women omega are just women but can shift when mated, male omega however are a different case, they can't mate with only a male mate and Jake knew no one would ever want him to be their other half.

If Jake was born a female, he would at least have some hope but he's a male so he's hopeless. Finding his mate is even a fantasy to him because he doesn't believe in them.

"Hey Jake"

He look back and saw his brother smiling happily as he approach him.

"Hey hyung. .  you look happy. . "

"Mom and dad will be so thrilled, I have a surprise for everyone"

He helped Jake with the dinner preparation.

His brother is the only one whom he can count on as he never judged him for being an omega. But his brother is a beta, the second highest rank to the alpha and they're also either works for the alpha or assigned to watch over some parts of the pack.

His brother was assigned to another part of the pack so he rarely comes home making Jake the total maid for his parents.

"Hyung, leave that to me . . you go call mom and dad now. And I'll be looking forward for the surprise"

His brother went to call for his parents when suddenly, their mother's scream was heard.

"Mom's about to give birth!"

Jake immediately ran as fast as he could to the nearest clinic and called for a doctor to help them but the doctor unfortunately just left.

Jake ran back to their house and he let the tear fall from his eyes when he saw the doctor is already there. His brother must've called him. He now felt more useless than before.

He slowly enter the house and see his family having a moment with the baby. It's a boy again but he's a beta this time. And Jake feared for his life already. Because the possibility of him being kicked out is coming close.

"Thank you doctor for your help . . . you can leave now"

His brother said after giving the doctor his service pay.

"Jake . . come look . ."

He slowly walk closer and peek at the baby.

"He looks handsome"

"of course. . . and he's a beta ..  Unlike you"

His Father immediately responded and his mother just laughed.

"Oh . . mom . .  dad . . I also have another surprise for us . . "

His hyung then left and not long after, an unfamiliar scent filled their noses before his brother appeared with a woman.

"Mom Dad, meet Kara, she's my mate"

His parent's eyes sparkled as they look at the woman.

And Jake, his mind is now filled with where to live as it won't be too long and he will be kicked out of the house.

From the beginning, his parents always despise him as if it was his fault he was born a male omega but it's what they made him believe. They then told him that if they will be able to have another beta child again, he will have to find another place to stay as he no longer live in the house.

His brother has no idea about this set up and even his brother's mistreatment in the house because he's always away for work. And if he will leave, his brother will for sure not know anything.

Jake went to his room and brought out his luggage and began to pack his things. He knew this is going to be hard for him but he has no choice, it's either he leave or his parents drag him out. The first choice is actually better.

And just as he thought, his father enter the room and threw his other clothes that just dried.

"Don't leave any trace of you for Jake to find out. . . you are dead to this family and he will grow up without knowing you. . . I'll make sure your older brother knew about this so you won't be mentioned in this household. . . you will be dead. . . now quickly, pack your bags, it's been so long for your stay"

That's how much they hated Jake.

The thing is, the family has a very good reputation of bringing great beta and gamma in the pack. They are the ones where amazing and known wolves descend and for them to give birth to a male omega is just shameful as it only mean one thing, one of the parent cheated. No one would want that about themselves especially one from a very known family. So they hid Jake from the eyes of the pack, never to be seen. And when someone sees him, he was tasked to deny that he's a Shim.

Jake wiped his tears and quickly pack everything.

"I will kill you myself if I see you here before dawn"

His mother spoke and Jake just nodded.

Midnight came and he's all set to go with no money, or even food to keep him alive as he has no ability to hunt, he left without even looking back.

"I am no longer part of you"

Is what Jake repeats in his head as he slowly walk away, not minding the heavy suitcase he has in his hands.

Walking farther from the pack barrier, he began to feel scared as he is now alone and defenseless. Rouges roam the area, those vicious wolves. Rouges are also wolves but they are the ones whom are kicked out the pack and has gone insane. Jake felt scared when he heard howls from every corner. The moon is his only light and there is nothing to serve as his map so all he did was to walk and walk farther from the sound of rouges.

But as the sounds disappear, Jake knew he is in more trouble the moment he smells the vampires. He's close to a vampire village. It is a known fact to wolves that they are superior than vampires but Jake believes otherwise. Yes, wolves are superior when it comes to strength and power but to Jake, vampires are better than them as they are more humane, in short they won't kick out a family member just because he's different.

Vampires have no rankings like the alpha-beta-gamma-omega of the wolves but they treat each other how they should be treated, unlike the wolves. There is and will always be one to be alienated.

Jake leaned on a tree with his suitcase and rest when a strong smell hit his nose.

Immediately his body reacted to it.

"Is this the sign of my mate? Yes my mate is here. . he's nearby"

Jake thought as he walk closer to the smell.

He didn't even realize that he is still in a vampire village when the scent got stronger.
