When will I get my happy ever after ?

Chapter 1

Dream.....

I'm in a white room with the sound of constant beeps and the smell of old people and medicine.

I'm in a hospital?

"One more push, Lizzy! One more push!" screams a tall tan man in his mid twenties, with brown tussled hair. He's trying to comfort the lady who I assume is his wife on the table. She looks familiar as does the man, but her in particular.

She has long blond hair that is a little darker than mine. She has big violet eyes and a little button nose. Who does she remind me of?

"I swear you are never touching me again after this, Robbie!" She screams at her now terrified husband.

"One big push and it will be over! On my count, 3.....2......1......push!" After that giant push all that was heard was a small baby's cry filling the room.

"It's a girl!" squeals the nurse while handing the baby over to Lizzy. The baby girl has little blond hairs on her head. She has her eyes closed so I couldn't she her eye color, but I bet they are adorable.

"She's so precious, I can't believe she's ours, Robbie," she gazes up at Robbie who is currently trying and failing to push back tears.

"What are we going to name her darling?"

"How about ma-"

Beep beep beep

What's that? What's the baby's name?

Beep beep beep

End of dream .........

Beep beep beep

Ugh! It's 4:30 already?

I had that dream again. I have had it just about every night for a week now. At first I thought it was just some random dream I came up with in the back of my mind, but now I'm not so sure. Now I think it's some sort of clue for me to figure out.Who is that man? Who is the lady with my eyes? And who is her baby? Are they real people or are they just a figment of my imagination?

I wish I was asleep long enough to hear the baby's name. It kind of sounded like the mother was going to say..... No, that's impossible.

I sit up, ignoring the aches and pains my body is causing me, and get ready for school. Mr. Alpha says that I have to be up extra early with breakfast ready and be out the house before everyone wakes up. Mrs. Luna complained that seeing me so early in the morning made her sick to her stomach, and Mr. Alpha does anything for his precious mate.

I know what you're thinking, why do I call my mom and dad Mr. and Mrs. Alpha? Well, to them, me calling them mom and dad would acknowledge that they gave birth to such a disgrace. I don't understand why they don't just kill me already. I would happily die if it meant getting away from here. My mate is the only person that I trust with my life. I don't know him yet, but I bet he will be prince-like. Handsome, kind, and loving, just like I've always dreamt him to be. No, I don't expect him to love me in particular, but at least be kind enough to take me to a better place and not abuse me like everyone else does.

I get up and make it to the bathroom with some trouble but still manage. Last night I received a beating from one of the pack members for not putting enough ice in his drink. He was pretty tough but I've had worse. My head was killing me, I have a few cracked ribs and a fractured ankle, but I'll manage like always.

I avoid looking in my tiny cracked mirror as I pass it. I don't really feel like looking at how horrible I look today.

After showering, I quickly brush my teeth and hair and throw on my hand-me-down black sweats with an oversized purple hoodie to hide my visible bruises and unhealthily petite figure. My shoes are black and white dirty Converse with holes at the bottom.

When I'm done getting ready, I get ready to face my biggest enemy....stairs! There's just soooo many of them. It's pointless!

---------------------------------------------

I survived the steps! By the time I reached the last one, my legs wanted to give out. My fractured ankle doesn't help much.

Now, I take out my concealer. I wait until I finish walking up the steps to put on makeup because I don't want to put it on only to have it wash away with my sweat.

I open the little tube and my tiny pocket mirror to put on just enough to hide the ugly bruises and scratches on my face.

Okay, breakfast time. I cook the usual feast of bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausage, French toast, oatmeal, and crescent rolls. This is a pack of wolves I'm dealing with here. Of course they are going to eat a lot.

Hm, I guess I will have a banana instead of my usual apple for breakfast and maybe have an apple for lunch. Mr. Alpha doesn't like me eating up the pack's food so I get fruit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm just grateful that he is letting me eat at all.

It's 6.30 now and the pack should be starting to get up, so that's my cue to head out.

I have a couple hours until I need to be at school so I usually hang out in the woods by an open meadow to take a small nap. While I was laying there it hit me. A smell of vanilla and watermelon.....weird mixture, but it's enticing. I look to where it's coming from and stop where I swear a God is standing. It's Oliver, the son of the Alpha from the Black Dust pack! Could he possibly be my mate? Sun is leaping for joy in my head, screaming that we finally found him and we are safe; and, some naughty stuff about him that I'm not going to get into. I'll admit that he is unbelievably handsome. He has dirty blonde hair styled in a well groomed but 'I just got out of bed' type of look with amazing honey brown eyes. He also has naturally tan skin. He has on some low wasted jeans, and he doesn't have a shirt on.

'Don't forget about the fact that he is showing off his yummy abs!'

'Sun!'

It's true, though, they are pretty yummy looking.

'I thought so.'

"Hey aren't you the Omega of the Red Wood pack?" he asked me with his melodically speaking voice.

I nod in acknowledgment. I'm tongue tied right now.

"That makes this a whole lot easier," he says with an emotionless face on.

What is he talking about? Wait, is he talking about taking me away from here? He's right, it will be pretty easy since Dad would be happy to get rid of me. I am so giddy with anticipation!

"What's your name?"

"Marina Blake."

"I, Oliver Dale...."

Here it comes, the moment I've been waiting for. He's going to accept me!

"Reject you, Marina Blake as my mate and other half."

Wait....what?

No, he was suppose to accept me, not reject me!

I couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my face.

"Why?" I whispered.

He didn't hesitate to answer, "Because I can't have an Omega as my mate. That would ruin my reputation. You're weak and not worthy enough to be future Luna of my pack. Plus, you probably can't even satisfy me in bed and what good are you if you can't even do that. I heard you can't even shift! You would be a walking target to my pack."

"But.."

I was going to explain to him that I can shift and I have alpha blood in me but he cut me off.

"No buts, there's nothing you can say to change my mind."

That was the last thing he said before he left me with a shattered heart.
