The Orphaned Omega

I am an orphaned omega. Im only ever treated as trash in my pack, by everyone except the Alpha's chosen Luna. She's the only one who is kind as kind as a mother would be

I haven't found my destined mate yet and only when i do, will I be allowed to leave my current abusive pack and join my mate's. I pray for that day to come soon.

Tonight is the Red Moon Ball. It is thrown by the Royal family, the former King and Queen. My pack's Alpha and Luna will be attending. And the Luna was able to convince the Alpha to let me attend with them.

After she gave me a beautiful gown and did all the makeup and hair preparations, we were all off to drive to the castle. On the ride there, the Alpha threatened me. He told me the countless rules: "Only one alcoholic drink; No looking into anyone's eyes; Keep your mouth shut; Make sure the scars on your body are hidden by clothing or makeup at all times" etc. He also told me the punishments I would endure after the occasion if the rules weren't followed: "No water for a week; No food for four days; Daily beatings etc.

When i finally arrived at the palace and entered, i saw the grand ballroom. It was huge and there were hundreds of people there, all dressed extravagantly in suits and big ball gowns. I was pretty sure I was one of the only omegas there, as there were mostly only Alphas and Betas. People would sometimes approach the Alpha and Luna of my pack, greeting and catching up on life. Neither the Alpha nor Luna revealed the reality of my painful life, though, obviously.
