Chasing the rejected Luna novel Chapter 3

Sophia

Sometimes I wonder how I had lived through the cruelty of the pack. A normal werewolf who hasn't gotten a wolf would have died already from the pains they had to endure but mine was different.

Somehow, I was able to get out of it though with scars that not only marred my body but also my soul. 

Pains were inflicted on me because I made even the slightest mistake. None of the other omegas suffered as much as I did. Mine was worse. Laying on my bed each night, I often envisioned how it would be to just float away, and let all the pains, and memories that I have repressed over the years go away.

"Another serving," The head maid shouted from the dining room at me. None of the other omegas made a move to get it so I stood up from the stool I had been sitting on and walked to the dining room.

I walked into the dining room with a tray of toast bread and scrambled eggs trying to avoid my gaze from wandering to the head of the table where Dianne was seated on Alexander's thighs, feeding him through her mouth.

I served the other pack members and walked into the kitchen but was stopped.

"Bring us some more scrambled eggs. These ones here are bad," Dianne said to me and my shoulders stiffened. I knew the eggs weren't bad but she just wanted to rub her relationship with Alexander in my face. 

If she aimed to get me more broken, then she achieved it because my heart hurt terribly from the scene of Alexander kissing her. 

"Okay ma'am," I swallowed hard and walked into the kitchen after my eyes clashed with Alexander. There was no emotion on his face. He masks it expertly.

Each day since the incident with Dianne, I have come to despise Alexander more often for what he did to me. Yet, I could not bring myself to accept his rejection. Seeing them together hurt but not as much as it did the first few days after the rejection. 

It had been a week since I had the issue with Dianne over challenging her. Although my wounds were healed it did nothing to clear away all the hurt and pain. I still felt hurt from the injuries as some had not completely healed up.

I took the eggs to her and laid them on her plate. She looked up at me as if I did something wrong. 

"Put them on the plate, dummy," she hissed at me and lay her hand on Alexander's chest. My eyes lingered on her hand before I did as she asked. 

I looked up only to see Alexander looking at me again. What does he want really? For me to bow to him and his barbie doll? I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and walked back into the kitchen to rest until the pack members were done with their food so I'll go clean up. 

I sat by my favorite spot by the window, ignoring the other omegas who were so excited about something. I knew it had to do with the ceremony Alexander was hosting tomorrow where he would be made the Alpha.

He had invited people from other packs, Alphas included. I just think it is stupid to invite Alphas to a party. Alphas were all egotistical creatures. Always wanting to exert dominance wherever they went.

I watched from the window, different people pulling up into the pack house, and the gardens were being cleaned by some omega boys. 

I stood up from the stool. The kitchen was getting noisy because of the maids' chatter. I mean, getting to see other pack members and meeting new friends were nice. But when it comes to us the omegas, it meant more work for us all; having many mouths to feed. 

My correct guess would be, the people who will turn up for the ceremony wouldn't be less than two hundred. Imagine having to feed four hundred people in a day. 

I was about to walk to the kitchen's back door when a guard walked in. I halted in my steps and waited for what he had to say. 

He scanned the room until his eyes rested on me. "The Alpha's son asks for you," he said. I frowned at that. He could be mistaken.

"Are you talking to me?" I asked him and he glared at me, not thrilled by being asked a question from the 'freak'.

"Yes, you. And he asks not to keep him waiting," he said to me and walked away. 

The kitchen had gone quiet from the exchange. They were all giving me weird glances but I pushed them back. It wasn't a new thing. 

I headed to Alexander's room. Along the way, I kept thinking of what could make him see me. He never asks for me. If anything, he avoids me. So this was a first.
