Tris POV
I woke up to someone banging on my door. I pry one eye open and then I hear someone yell, "Beatrice, get up it's almost time to go!"

I roll my eyes and bury my face into my pillow then I hear the door slam open. I jolt up and see my dad standing in my doorway furious. I gulped and looked down in respect. As the Omega, of the pack I am not supposed to look at anyone in the eye, let alone the beta. Even if he is my father.

I am not not like most omegas though. I don't cower or submit easily. I do stand my ground and look anyone in the eye except for the beta or alpha though. Him and the alpha are the only one I am not allowed to stare in thier eyes. They take it as a challenge and I am no match for him.

I have challenged my father many of times and each time I get a worse out come. The punishment started as a slap then it went to a punch now it's a beating.

"What did your future beta say, Omega." My father spat at me as I slid off the bed and stood in front of my father with my hands at my sides and my head down. My brother is the future beta of the Abnegation. We are supposed to be the selfless pack. I never felt like one of them though. Anyways, I felt a sting on my cheek as my father's hand came in contact with my cream color skin. I let the motion of the hit move my face until I turned back to my father and stared straight at him.

"I will be ready in five minutes. Sir." I told him in my lightest voice to try and hide the anger in my voice. He smirked and turned and walked out of my room.

Today we are choosing which pack we want to live in for the rest of our lives. Yeah, I know why would you want to leave your pack. Well really I am not in a pack. No one under the age of 16 is really in a pack. You are able to choose where you want to live. And if you didn't know I'm 16. I haven't even shifted. We are supposed to be taught how to shift in our new pack and I'm not sure what I am going to choose.

Anyways, I am supposed to get ready for the great choosing ceremony. I got dressed in my gray dress and gray shoes. I put my hair in a bun and turn towards the door. I straighten my dress and started towards the door.

I walked down the stairs where my father, brother, and mother were standing. We walked to the door together. I walked next to my mother and my brother walked with my father.

I walked with my head down so I showed submission to the other wolves. Since I was the Omega I have to submit to the others or my father will punish me.

When we get to the great meeting grounds the alpha's arrange there pack. The chosen walk down and stand in a line. I am part of the chosen. As I start towards the line my father grabbed my arm and whispered into my ear, "You will choose the right one. There is no exceptions. Omega."

I grit my teeth and ripped my arm from his grasp. I walk down to the line and stand leaning against the wall. Then my brother walks up to my side. I roll my eyes and look at him. He looks stressed for once. I raise and eye brow at him.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask smirking a bit. He glared at me and right as he was about to tell me but our alpha, Marcus started to call up the chosen. After a few people went up and sliced thier palm to drop thier blood in the chosen bowl they wanted.

When I heard my brother's name called I looked at him and he swallowed hard. He walked up on stage and walked towards the bowls. Marcus handed him the knife and he looked at all of the bowls before taking the knife to his hand and quickly slicing it down his palm.

I wince when I see his face twist in pain of the blade. I watch him pool the blood in his palm. Then I gasp at what he chose.

He chose Erudite. I smiled a little. What a bold move. Daddy's little perfect boy chose a different path then what was expected. I turn to see my father's face and if looks could kill my brother would be six feet under. I turn away and hear the next name called.
