Today is the day I must accompany my father to a council meeting. I've attended many of these before, but now that I am officially recognized as an Omega, I fear how the council will react. As the daughter of one of the most powerful Alphas in the area, I dread their judgment. They'll see me as a disgrace. I know it.
We set out for the main meeting hall, accompanied by some senior pack members. Throughout the journey, I endure constant reprimands. After a day of travel, we finally arrive at the meeting hall. Inside, there's a designated spot for our pack. Across the room, I notice the leader of another pack and several others whose statuses are unclear to me.
One person catches my eye—a girl of seemingly high status. She looks fancy, but not in a good way. She doesn't quite look like a girl; if it weren't for her long hair, I wouldn't have known. She dresses like an upper-class male, which is unusual for women of high status. Her bright green hair is striking, a rare sight. As I take in her features, I notice her pointed ears. Probably an Alpha, or perhaps a Beta—but why would they bring a Beta to this meeting? My thoughts are abruptly interrupted by my father's growl.
"I said sit down!"
"Sorry, sir." My ears flatten slightly as I take my seat. It's clear everyone in the room knows my status as an Omega. My behavior betrays me. I glance back at the girl, but quickly look away when I realize she's already watching me.
My father begins to speak. "Thank you all for coming to this meeting. I know the number of mates in both of our packs is low, so I'm here to make an offer." I have no idea what this offer could be; my father told me nothing. I see the other leader straighten in his seat, his face focused.
"My offer is to bring some of my Omegas to your pack."
I feel a surge of anxiety. Although I believe my father wouldn't give me up, a seed of doubt takes root. The other leader sits up straighter and responds. "I agree to this offer."
My father continues, saying something that shatters my world. "The first Omega I'd be giving is my daughter. I'd like her to go to your higher class."
I am betrayed by my own father. My eyes dart to him, then to the others. I feel paralyzed, unable to move. Did all the love and time he invested in me mean nothing? Was I only valuable for my status?
"You would offer your daughter?" the other leader asks, confused.
My father nods. "Yes. To be frank, I do not want her in my sight."
I want to run, hide, cry, but I can't do anything. I hate this. "One of my higher status Alphas, Velvet, here." He points to the green-haired girl I had been watching. "Although she is a female Alpha, I think she would be a perfect fit."
I can't hold back anymore, and neither can Velvet. "WHAT?!?" we both exclaim simultaneously. We exchange looks, our expressions mirroring each other's shock.
"The decision is made. You two will be arranged mates."
The decision is final. My father and the other leader stand up and walk away, leaving me to follow the opposite side. I am now part of the opposite pack, no longer a free person. I am owned, and there's nothing I can do about it.
