Carl and his Alpha

Chapter 1

Carl's Pov

It finally happened. I finally graduated from high school. That meant no more homework, teachers or being bullied. Yea, I'm an omega in a family of Alphas and I'm not really the tallest. So naturally I get teased a lot. But I don't have to worry about that anymore because I'm free!

I'll be off to college in two weeks after term brake. In the meantime I'll be spending the holidays with my family. My older brothers and sister have come home as well. However, instead of just sitting around at home doing nothing I decided to get a part-time job. I can't rely on my parents for money forever so I've decided it's time I get my own money.

"Mom, I'm going out."

"Where are you going?"

"To get a job."

She let out a light chuckle. "Okat, just be back for dinner."

"Okay," and with that I left my apartment in hopes of finding a job. I thought getting a job would be easy as I lived in the city, and I couldn't have been more wrong in my life. Every store that I entered I asked if they needed help but not one of them were hiring. Eventually I started heading home in defeat when something caught my eye. A poster on the window of a photography studio. They were looking for a janitor and I was the guy for the job. I took the poster and rushed through the door into the studio. I saw a lady at the counter and made my way over.

"Excuse me."

"Yes, how may I help you."

"I'd like to apply for the job."

"I see, well then I'll need you to full out this form." She handed me the form and I filled it in. Once I was done I handed it back to her.

"Alright, so are you free on the weekends from 9am to 3pm?"

"Yes I am," I said.

"Well then you're job starts tomorrow."

"Alright, I'll be here." With that said, I left the studio and started heading home for dinner. "Finally, a job. A chance to start a new life." I thought to myself. "And a chance to meet our mate," Jack added.

At home, I helped mom set the table for dinner. "Carl, could you call your siblings."

"Okay mom." I headed to my brothers room first. "Hey guys, dinner is ready."

"Alright, we'll be down in five minutes."

I called my sister next. "Claire, dinner's ready."

"Okay then. What you and mom make?"

"Pasta."

"Mmm sounds good. Okay then, let's go. Have you called Albert and Alfred?"

"Yep." We headed down for dinner. Mom and dad were already at the table. Me and Claire took out seats and soon my brothers joined us. We ate dinne as usual. Mom asked me about finding a job and I told them what happened. Mom and dad were proud I got a job. Claire was also happy for me and my brothers, as usual, couldn't care less. After dinner, I helped mom with the dishes and headed off to bed.

The next day I headed off to the studio. When I arrived it was still 8.45a.m but I didn't want to be late on my first day. I met the lady at the counter who's name I learned was Jen.

"Good morning Jen."

"Good morning Carl. You're early today."

"Well wouldn't look good to be late on the first day."

"That's true. So just go down that hallway and you'll see the janitor's closet on your right. Inside is a list of chores and all the things you'll need. If you need to fill the bucket with water the employee bathroom is at the end of the hallway."

"I see. Thank you." I make my way to the closet and on a table was a list of chores. I took a look at Saturday's chores. I had to wipe the windows, and mop the floors. I decided to wipe the windows first. I grabbed the bucket and filled it up with water. Then, I grabbed a sponge and the window cleaner and got to work. There were too many windows so I completed the task by 12. p.m. I then headed out to a nearby salad bar for lunch. I got a half-hour lunch break. I usually go for a salad when I'm out. I don't know why but I just like it. After lunch, I headed back and started mopping the floor.

"Finally, all done," I said to myself. I was just about to leave for the day when I bumped into someone.

"Sorry," I blurted out. When I looked up a woman was standing before me. She was blonde and had blue eyes and was easily six feet tall. I could feel dominance radiating off her. An alpha. I could hear Jack saying something in the back of my head but I paid it no mind. She just stared at me and I was starting to feel intimidated when she said the one word I've been hoping to hear my whole life. "Mine." That's when everything came together. She was my MATE!!!
