I guess because I grew up seeing and hearing stories about mates I just assumed everything would turn out okay. It Naive to think you'll have everything you want in life. No one will end up how they thought they would.
My story starts when I first shifted. As a werewolf shifts on their tenth birthday they find out what rank they are. Most wolves are just wolves but some can be Alphas, Betas, or Omegas. Guess which is the short end of the stick. When my pack found out I was a male omega they were ouraged and for some reason began abusing me. I got hit at home, at the pack house, and at school. I became timid and skittish and avoid people in order not to be hurt. I just continue to hope that my mate will love me and he will take me away from this. Yes, he. I'm gay, which is another thing they hate about me.
Currently I just finished cleaning the pack house for the Alphas son's birthday party. He's also turing eighteen and will find his mate tonight. I'm worried whoever my mate is will reject me but I've come to accept that may happen. They set up for the party and lay out all the food, that I made. "Yo, faggot, ready to get rejected tonight? You know your mate will never accept you." The beta to be says, but I can see a strang glint in his eye. Not like he's happy about it, but like he doesn't want to see that happen. I turn away from them and try to walk away but he spins me around and hits me in the stomach. "Just stay out of the way, this is my buddies special night and we don't need you in the way."
They push past me and I stand in the back waiting for the alpha-to-be to come on the stage. He's been away to a special school for alphas or something and just got back apparently. He finally walks onstage and I freeze. He's so handsome, with dark browm wavy hair and blue eyes, full lips, and a beautiful smile. And then I catch a whiff and my eyes widen. Oh goddess, they will kill me. There's no way the alpha-to-be will accept me as his mate.
I watch as he looks at me straight in the eye before look at a girl in front with long straight black hair and claims her as his mate. She screams and rushes on stange huggin him as he kisses her passionately. I walk behind the building and wait for him, knowing whats next. I hear footsteps but stay looking up at the sky. "It really is a perfect night sky. The full moon is out amd the stars are always beautiful this for away from the city..." I murmur. There's a loud sigh and arms wrap around my shoulders from behind. Tears sting my eyes as he buries his nose in my neck. "I'm sorry." He whispers, so low I can hardly hear him. "I Ashton McCall, reject you, Jackson Miller, as my mate amd luna." I close my eyes and feel the tears slide down my face. "I...Jackson Miller...accept...your rejection..." I feel a snap inside me and he takes another deep breath before slowly releasing me and walking inside. I sink to my knees and continue to look at the moon.
"Are you gonna leave now?" I hear behind me. I look and see the beta-to-be, Brandon. "Would that make tou happy?" I ask in a raspy voice. "No, but if you stay here your just going to hurt more. I only tried to toughen you up, Jay...I'm sorry for how I went about it but I wanted you to be prepared. Male omegas are usually paired with alphas and I don't think I've ever heard of one being accepted. I know it sounds stupid but I didn't want to see you get hurt..."
I sniff and nod. "I was going to leave in the morning. I'm eighteen so I can do that, there's nothing holding me back now." His eyes widen and he gets a small smile on his face. "I actually got you a present. It's not much but I thought it might help." He pulls out a small box and gives it to me. I slowly open it and see a small chain with a locket inside. "There's a picture of you me and my sister from when we were kids and could still hang out without worrying. Not that you remem-" "thank you. And I do remember. We were seven in this picture, your sister was nine." I smile and he nods.
My number is on the other side if you need me, or just wanna talk okay?" I nod and hug him. "Watch after him for me? Please?" He nods and pats my head before spinning me around. "Don't get in any trouble." He yells and I nod taking off.

1 year later
I've veen roaming around trying to figure out what I can do with myself. I found a small shack in the woods the first few months and had been hunting small animals to feed myself with. But it became harder in the winter months. I was tracking a fox in December when I accidently stumbled on a vampire. He almost attack me until he realized I was just an omega. He then brought me home where I met four other vampires, as well as another omega male. The was older than I was and apparently had been rejected as well. During my time with them I found out that vampires tended to take in omegas who were rejected. Most of them were male but some were females as well.
Ive been staying with them for seven month's now. Luke is the leader of the coven, and is the oldest at 1,672 years old but looks like hes in his 30's. Mark and Mike are twins and are 795 and look to be in their late thirties. Ian, is the one I'm closest to, is 523 and looks about 26. And the youngest Ramone is 210 and looks about sixteen. The other omega, Conner, is 37 and in a relationship with Mark and Mike.
Currently were sitting around the table talking. "So you never actually said what pack you were from." Conner says and I bite my lip. "Um, the blood rain pack. They weren't ever the nicest pack..." Conners eyes widen and he lets out a laugh. "This is great. Thats the same pack whos alpha rejected me. Like father like son I guess." I give a small smile and say "so have you decided if you want to be changed?"
Conner have been debating on whether or not to let Mark and Mike change him into a vampire. Theu were all turned except for Luke. He just ages really slowlyafter he turned eighteen. The others will look the age they turned until their around five thousand years old before they begin aging again slowly. Both kind of vampires can live forever without looking older than fifty if they take care of themselves. I've already changed, think it to be a new start for me, myself, but Conner thinks he wants to now. The only problem he has is he won't be able to shift anymore, though he will still have his wolf. "I think so. I don't want to not be able to shift but if it means being with these two for a longer time I'm okay with it I guess." I smile as the twins hug him tightly.
My phone buzzes and I see an umknown number. I answer but no one says anything. "Hello? Who is this?" "Come home." The other person says before hanging up. I look at the phone confused. "What was that about?" Luke asks and I shrug. Probably some creep that typed the wrong number, the only person besides y'all that has my number is Brandon from my old pack and that wasn't his number." They give strange looks but we all shrug it off.
Just then my phone buzzes again and I see its Brandon. "Hey, I just got thw strangest call-" "I need you to come home Jay. Ashton is going crazy and trying to kill his mate." I freeze and look at the others. "Well, you'll have some unwanted guest if I do so. They kinda follow me everywhere." He laughs and says "bring your vampire boy band with you man, maybe they can hold him down so you can knock some sense into him." I tell him were on our way and everyone stand. "Ashtons gone berserk, they want me to come help. Brandon says bring you guys as well."
They nod and I hop on lukes back while Conner hops on Mike's. They take off and it only take a about fifteen minute to get there. We stop and look around there are warrior's trying to hold Ashton back. I slide off Lukes back and step forward. Ashtons head spins around and rushes at me. I hear rustles behind me but hold my hand out to stop them from moving. He stops inches from me and stares. He growls when he catches my scent and I sigh. "Change back. This behavior is unacceptable of an alpha." He huffs and slowly changes back.
"You got changed. Why?" He asks and I shrug. Need a new start besides I'm much stronger in this form." I say and see run up. "It'sbeen a while." He says and I smile. "We talk everyday on the phone Bran, its not like we've been apart for years." He laughs and looks at the people behind me. "Hello, all. Sorry about the inconvenience, buuuut since you all are here, wanna help whip us into shape?"
