A Long Time Ago

Life as an Omega

The alarm clock goes off at exactly 8:00. Sleepily, I wander out of bed and grab my glasses from the bedside table. I want to go back to sleep, but I know I can't. My bedroom is small, so I have no problem stumbling to my wardrobe and grabbing some clothes. I grab my jogging bottoms, blue t-shirt and oversized hoodie. Looking in the mirror, I scrap up all my hair and twist it into a ponytail before hurrying downstairs to put the breakfast on for the other pack members.

As an omega, it is my job to feed all the pack members for breakfast and dinner. Lunch is usually done at school, but if they want, I have to do them pack lunches. Grabbing the pans, I put them on the stove and start making the ingredients for pancakes. I want them in a good mood before they went to school so they won't take there anger out on me. I

I also grab the different cereals that we have in the cupboards and chop up a bunch of fruit, putting them in seperate bowls with spoons inside of them.

'What have you made for us today, omega?' The beta's son, Marcus, asks. He takes a seat on the stool in front of my and I take a cautious step backwards.

I look towards the floor, 'w-well b-beta Marcus, there are p-pancakes-'

Marcus raises from the table and scatters the cereal all over the floor in anger. His eyes go black and he walks up to me with incredible force, 'I hate pancakes! Make something else, now!'

I nod my head innocently, reaching for my hands and wringing them behind my back. 'Yes, beta Marcus, of course. I'm sorry I forgot.' I apologise before he does anymore damage. 'Is there something specific you would like?'

'Waffles with strawberries,' he informs me with a smirk planted on his face.

Behind me, I open up the waffle maker and grab the waffles that I was originally going to eat myself and cover them in strawberries right in front of him. I pass them to him silently and he wolfs them down hurriedly. He doesn't thank me as the other pack members wander in.

Jada, another omega, and my best friend, wanders in and notices the mess immediately. I send her a silent look and she nods comfortingly. She grabs a brush from the living room and starts to sweep up the mess. 'What happened in here?' She mouthes to me.

'Pancakes,' I nod to the freshly made food then to Marcus. She gives me a solemn look before returning to the sweeping.

The other pack members clamber in and take seats next to Marcus. I had them each their pancakes and they eat them without complaints, I relaxed and starting to clean up the dishes from the cerals and Marcus' finished plate.

'Did you guys hear?' A girl from the pack asked the others. 'The alpha's son is coming back.'

I stop, wishing I could unhear what I just heard. He's coming back? The alpha' son got sent to some military camp for two years after he went too wild when he was sixteen and ended up in the hospital for alcohol poisoning. He's going to come back bitter, strong and full of military drills I won't be able to do because of my wolf. That, and the fact that he used to be my best friend.

Well, that was before I didn't get my wolf when I was supposed to and he ditched me because he was embarrassed to be seen with me. I tasted blood in my mouth and realised that bit my tongue from anger.

'Yeah, I can't wait to see my bro,' Marcus grins to the Gamma, third in command. They fist pump, 'Once we all find our mates we can lead the pack. So pumped, dude.' I swallowed in apprehension. I didn't want any of them to lead the pack. I didn't mind Gamma Eddie, but Marcus? No way. I can't wait till schools over and I can leave.

'Well of course he hasn't found his mate yet, I'm right here,' Jodie smirks victoriously, giggling to her friends.

'I for one, think it's going to be me.'

'No! It's me!'

They all go into rambunctious arguing of who is going to be the next Luna. Who would want to be Luna? Honestly, it must be one of the hardest jobs in the world. Constantly looking after people and making sure there okay, always waiting beside the alpha like half ass lapdog. I roll my eyes at them all, wishing that karma will be a bitch to all of them and stop any of them from becoming a terrible luna.

'It's time for school,' I inform them, washing up the rest of there plates and cleaning there mess.

'Let's go, guys,' Marcus calls his possy together and they leave out the front door.

'I'm really sorry about the mess, Jada,' I apologize, 'I completely forgot that Marcus doesn't like pancakes.'

'It's all right, Bryn, I know how he can get.' She grabs her own bag off the counter. Ready to start work in the kitchen. As we are omega's we aren't allowed to go school with the rest of the pack. We have to do 4 hours of home schooling and then do the chores around the pack house.

Jada and I startout English work, chatting about the alpha's son coming back to town. 'I mean, who do think his mate's going to be?' She giggles like a school girl and I roll my eyes.

'Not you too!' I ask, horrified, 'at least I know I'm definitely not going to be his mate!" There is a big reason why I am never going to find my mate and I'm happy that I'm never going to. My mate would be disappointed if he ever met me so I was fine with avoiding him for the rest of my life!

Jada laughed again, "I just think it would be nice if I found my mate, you know? I've had issues with love and I want my knight in shining armour to come and save me!" She said dramatically.

"Yes, but sometimes your knight is just some retard in tinfoil," I remind her with my eyebrows raised,

"You got that off Tumblr!"

"Yeah...Plus, needing someone to come and save you is bullshit! Get ripped and kill those demons yourself girl!"

"I suppose so...but I'm still excited to see that hunk of man everyone's gossiping about! We'll have to meet him when we're doing his washing though," she admits and I snicker. It was true.

"When is he coming?"

"Tomorrow night," Jada gets up from her chair and grabs a banana from the fruit bowl, "even we are expected to dress up."

A bitter smile was laced onto my face, "I suppose his slaves have to look the part."

"Yes, and, he wants to see every girl to see if there his mate! And it could be you!"

"No," I reply harshly, "you don't understand. There is no chance in it being me."
