~OLIVIA
I stood in front of the school's main entrance.
My heart thumped heavily against my chest as I dreaded the fact that I had to face the school again. It was something I battled with every day. As an Omega, most— if not all— of my pack members hated me, especially the kids at my school and they never once missed a chance to bully me.
Tomorrow was going to be my eighteenth birthday and it also happened to be the next Mating Convention. All my hope and the only thing keeping me going every day, was the fact that I believed I would find my mate and he would take me very far away from Golden Ville Pack.
This way, I would never have to face the emotionally degrading actions that they all shot at me again. I would be free and I would finally know true happiness.
I turned my attention back to the door and exhaled sharply. I could not keep standing outside like this. Classes were going to start soon.
I mustered up the courage I needed and pushed the doors open. The moment I walked in, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to me. I stood in the center awkwardly and too frozen to make a move.
"Would you look at that? It's Olivia, the below-par wolf!" A girl broke the silence. Silent laughter erupted from the students and I tried not to let it get to me.
My insides began to churn on themselves but I remained strong.
"Oh, you mean that low-life thing— Oops! Sorry, I meant omega?" Another said deliberately.
I swallowed hard and decided to just ignore them. Reacting was only going to make things worse. So I wore a straight face and continued down the halls.
"I wonder why her name isn't Olivia Dwarf instead of Olivia Spencer? She's just so short!" Another exclaimed and a bellow of laughter followed me down the hall.
I wanted to cry my eyes out about how I was getting treated but I needed to stay strong. Crying before all these people was the last thing I wanted to do.
As if on cue, Josh, my childhood friend and an Omega like me appeared out of the blue. He had a bright smile on his face as he came to a stop beside my locker.
"Olivia, I was wondering when you would show up. How did you sleep? Excited about tomorrow?" He asked while still smiling at me.
I exhaled sharply. "I'm nervous but I know that I'll survive it," I answered before pushing my red hair behind my ear.
I was about to go on when excited screams erupted through the air. I froze in my tracks as I immediately knew who was waiting behind me. I found the courage I needed and I turned to be met face to face with the Lycan triplets.
They towered above me with heights that got me questioning where I stood every time. The first brother— Lucas Damon, had eyes as gray as ash and hair as dark as the night itself. It blended perfectly with his olive skin.
The second brother was Lucien Damon, he had blue eyes and he had altered his hair color into a dark blue while the last brother was Logan Damon, like Lucien, he also had blue eyes but he left his curls dark and standing above his head.
They were the children of the current Alpha and the men derived fun in bullying me. Lucien smirked when he saw me and all three brothers approached me. This left me standing at a height around their stomach level. They were extremely tall. Perhaps eight or seven and a half feet while I was five feet and eight inches.
"One would think that after all this, you would one day disappear and never come back to school here. . .but you never learn, Olivia. You're so persistent," Lucien began in a mocking tone.
Josh could only stare. It was not like there was anything that he could do. He had no chances against the Lycan devils. They would subdue him within seconds.
His brothers chuckled. "She's probably hoping for the day she gets her happily ever after. I'm sure Olivia believes in those fairy tales," Lucas joined in.
I gritted my teeth as I listened to them. If I had a living wolf within me, then it would be boiling with anger and there would have been no stopping me.
"She's a dwarf, remember? A dwarf wolf, that's why she's so persistent and keeps coming back. I doubt if she has any respect for herself," Logan added to their words.
His brothers broke into laughter. "Oh, that was a good one, Logan. Perhaps we need a pesticide to purge this place free of pests like her," Lucas suggested amidst laughter.
"Or, a dwarf repellent! So she can never show her ugly face here again," Lucien added.
