I didn't realise it until I was seven. That fact that my twin, Marcus, was treated better than I was. While he got away with stealing sweets, I was hit for it. He could stay up later, while I had to be in my room by eight. If he cried mom and dad coddled and cuddled him until he stopped, while if I cried dad gave me something to cry about.
When we turned seven we changed into our wolf forms and found out Marcus was an alpha while I was an omega. Male omegas are rare and considered weak and a curse. This made things worse. My dad wolf whip me everytime he caught me in wolf form and I was already small but because of the lack of food, it stunted my growth.
I stopped calling them mom and dad, and only called them alpha and luna. Marcus drifted away from me and I ended up alone in a pack of 500. Because of it all I tend to avoid all people and spend a lot of time in the basement. No one comes down here unless it the alpha to beat me, or a stray kid trying to explore. I don't even know if people in the pack know I exist.
Today is actually our birthday and I can here them getting ready for Marcus. Singer wolves from other packs have come as well. I would like to participate but I'm scared of people and I'm sure if my mate ever does fing me he will reject me for being weak.
I hear the door open and close and peak around my corner to see Marcus and another guy come downstairs. "God, why did dad invite so many people. All those people hanging all over me. I wanted you in my arms." He smiles at the guy and leans in to kiss him. "You know they are gonna freak when they find out the alpha and beta are mates." "Yeah, heaven forbid a strong wolf submit to anyone." Marcus says while looking through a box. "The only person I'll submit to is my alpha." He murmurs wrapping his arms around his waist. "Oh, man. I haven't seen this thing in years. I used to love playing Atari with..." he trails off and his mate spins him around and pulls him into a hug. "There was nothing you could do. With him being a submissive omega there's no way he could have fought off the rogue."
I gasp and pull back behind the wall. "Who's there?" He growls but I stay hidden. "Hey, you don't have to hide. I understand if you wanted to speak to me but I would like to be alone and other packs are not supposed to be down here." I gulp and sqeak when a hand suddenly pulls me from my little nook.
His eyes widen and he releases me like I burned him. "Caleb...oh my Godes. I thought you were dead and mom amd dad wouldn't tell me anything." He pulls me into a hug and I tense up. "This is great, we can have our birthday like we used to. I'll give you half the presents since most of them are crappy anyways and we can catch up-" I pull away as he tries to drag me upstairs.
I back up and shake my head. "No allowed." I mumble and he gives me a confused look. "What do you mean, everyones up there, of course my twin should be too." I avoid his touch and shake my head. "Alpha has ordered me stay away from all pack functions. I stay in the basement where I belong so to not disturb guest." He finally stops and turns toward me. He looks me up and down and his eyes widen. "Caleb, what happened to you?" I look down and feel my hands shake a bit. "I'm...not like you. I has a different place in the pack order...we shouldn't even talk to each other. Please go enjoy your party with mate." I spin around to go back to my corner but am stopped again. "Caleb, what did mom and dad do to you?" I squeeze my eyes shut and say "the alpha and luna realized at young age that I was weak and unfit to be beside you. So they lowered me to place and lifted you to yours. We were born into the world together but belong in different places. You are soon to be alpha, a leader. I am a male omega and unfit for a role in the pack so my job is to stay out of sight."
I want to cry as the deep dull ache, but I don't have any tears. It's been like this for years, crying won't change anything. It just makes things worse. "Fuck that. Your my brother and I want you beside me. Omega or not your my twin and I won't have you living like...this anymore."
He picks me up and carries me up the stairs. "Either they will start treating you better or I refuse the title as alpha and will leave this pack with you Garrett." I gulp and hide my face in his neck flushing when I feel the stare of people. "Oh, sweetie we were just-why do you have that...thing with you?" I can hear the sneer in her voice. "Caleb, mom. His name is Caleb and he's my twin. I thought for year he was killed and all this time you two have kept him locked up and have beat him and brainwashed him so he thinks it's normal."
I peak out and see the Alpha come forward angrily. "Marcus take that disgusting omega back to the basement. I will deal with him later but it's almost time for your ceremony." I feel the rumble in his chest as he growls. "No. Either you start trwating him right or I denounce the alpha title of this pack and I'll take my brother and leave."
Everything goes quiet and I'm too scared to look at them. "You'd choose that creature over your destiny? Do you want to know why we've treated him so? He's not my son. Your mother was raped in the same week both of you were convieved. That thing does not have my blood, he has the blood of a rogue, and I don't want it walking around freely." There's murmurs and whispers around and I feel Marcus spin around. I lay my head on his shoulder and take a deep breath. Suddenly there's an amazing smell I lift my head and sniff again. "If you would like you may join my pack. I will be taking the little one as he is my mate though." I look at the man in front of me. He must be about 6'4 , with deep green eyes and black hair. He smiles at me as I blink up at him. "As long as my mate can come as well." I hear Marcus say and feel his.mate step up beside us. "Very well, the New Dawn pack will be leaving now!" He says and Marcus and his mate follows the guy who is my mate. During the ride in the car I get sleepy and lay my head on his shoulder. "Sleep Caleb, I'll wake you when we get there."
I close my eyes and am out in seconds.I awaje on a couch with a little boy sitting beside me wide eyed. "Your the luna, and your an omega. Thats so cool, do you think I'll be important like you too?" I blink a few times and look around to see the pretty man who calls me his mate. "Xav, don't worry him. He's been through a lot and we don't want him overwhelmed. Your brother will be back i. A little bit. He went hunting with the pack. Until then, it's nice to finally meet you, mate." I sit up and he sits beside me. "My name is Killian, and I've waited six years to find you. I alomst gave up but happened to go to that party, just to see what happens. What'syour name love?" I make sure to stay lookin down so as not to look him in the eyes. "Caleb, alpha sir. I sorry for making you wait...and being omega. Know it's unlucky for pack to jave an omega." He shakes his head. "No, its not. And from this point on I would like cor you not to say those things about yourself okay. Your a blessing to me amd to this pack, understand?" I nod and he smiles. "Don't worry, your going to love it here."
