Grace read the content of the tweet with trembling lips, and a hoarse voice almost choking, or did she know why she could be like that, there was clearly a feeling of horror that ran through her body as she read the tweet. The tweet is "Thank you to my friends who have cursed at me, hopefully we will meet again letter. The path i take is God's way." For a moment the were silent, no one dared to make a sound. Their lips seemed to be sewn up hard to open, they look each other, it wasn't the vengeful it used to be, but one filled with horror. As if something was telling them that a terrible event had happend, let's just say it was a hunch.
View MoreIt was a week before the end of the year in the small town of Moon-land, and summer was coming up. All the students were rushing for their final exams, eagerly awaiting summer break and the adults were preparing for the big event. Everyone, but a hand full of people, was excited for the big event, the Omegas.
Moon-land has a tradition that is as old as the town itself, The Mating Run. At the end of the last day of school, all graduating students (18 years old) and any unmated wolf under the age of 21 are forced to attend the event. The Alphas (leaders), Betas (Second in command), Deltas (Mediators), Gammas (Warriors) and the Omegas (Outcasts) are all divided in their own groups. The Omegas start by running into the forest to find a territory of their own to await the other wolfs that will have followed them.
Then the Deltas and Gammas enter the forest and try to find the scent of a wolf they like, followed by the Deltas and finally the Alphas. All are looking for the scent of their mate, or at least who they think is their mate.
Deltas and Gammas usually mate among themselves or sometimes Betas. Betas go for pretty much anyone but mostly Alphas. As for Omegas, they are rarely mated to anyone else but Alphas. Being a rare gender, Omegas make 2% of the towns' population and were often seen as a hindrance. They weren't weaker just less dominant than the other genders and that pushed them to the bottom of the social pyramid.
The Mating Run is like a big debutant ball for most. But by far less fancy, held in a forest and with wolves instead of people in fine attires.
If you found a partner that you liked and liked, you back then you were set. If the feelings weren't mutual both parties part ways and try to find their real mate. But Omegas weren't so lucky. They weren't allowed to approach anyone so that made meeting their mate harder. If another wolf is interested Omegas can agree to the paring or refuse and risk the chance of a fight. Most Alphas don't take well the rejection of an Omega and want to fight to show their dominance and that leads to some casualties during this event.
This year, Rose James was going to be forced to attend the ceremony for the last time. She was finally going to be 22 this year but she still needed to wait for five months until September 12th and the Mating Run was at the end of week so she would have to attend this one. She had managed to avoid being mated for three years and she intended to do the same this year.
Her sister, Monika, had found her mate on her very first Mating Run. She was an Alpha, and her mate Simon was a Delta. They had been friends ever since Simon moved into town and they knew that they wanted to be together, so the Mating Run was just a formality at that point. Her best friend, Ash, was also mated. He had met a fiery Beta called Jenny, who happened to be an old friend of Simons', and was happily mated since.
Even if Ash was an Alpha, Rose thought that Jenny was the one that was mostly in charged in their relationship. As for her, she wasn't as lucky. Being an Omega in a family of Alphas wasn't exactly easy. She had to prove herself to her parents even more then before and it made her into an Omega that didn't fit the mold. This led to her being even more of an outcast and her peers at school has kept a good distance from her with the exception of Ash and her sister Monika.
After her first Mating Run, she came out to her family and about her second gender after rejecting a male Alpha whom her parents had tried to set her up with. Luckily it hadn't turned into a fight since Alpha found his mate shortly after leaving Rose in the woods. This put another strain on the James family bond and Rose and Monika decided to live in an apartment from then on.
Word traveled fast and it did limit the number of "suitors" she got during the next Mating Run. She only had to fight once, against an Alpha called Adom who had picked a fight with her because of a previous grudge.
Adom and Rose had once been close but once Rose met Ash, they drifted apart, and Ash became Adom biggest competition in both popularity and in sports. Not taking it very well, Adom became focused on besting Ash in everything that he could. All this rivalry got to him, and he became a bully to Ash friends and that included Rose. During the Mating Run, Adom had stumbled upon Rose territory and decided to pick on her just to tick her off. What started as mocking remarks became insults and then full-on blows. The fight attracted the attention of many wolves, and it took the intervention of the town sheriff to separate the two. That year the Mating Run was cut short, and both were sent to the hospital to get stitches. Luckily for Rose, Adom had found a mate during his stay in the hospital and was now living in another City with her.
"Only one Mating run left and then I'm free." Rose told Monika and Ash, while sitting on the sofa in the café.
"Do you think you'll find someone this time?" Ash asked.
"No."
"Who knows, maybe someone new will show up in town and sweep you off your feet." Monika said in a joking tone.
Rose rolled her eyes and got up to get a cup of coffee. She was now helping Ash run the town's coffee shop with their friend Simon that they met Jenny here first time. She had never found someone that she found even remotely attractive at any mating run, social gathering or even just walking in town. She knew she was Omega and stupid because of a past crush on Ash but she was completely over it after a year and now she was simply accepting her fate. She would never find someone in this town. She could move but there was no guarantee that she would find her mate even if she left and leaving her sister and Ash behind didn't sit well with her.
"I'm just going to live my life and too bad if I don't find a mate because I don't need one. Look how Mom and Dad turned out. They mated with someone that wasn't really their mate and now their cheating and arguing all the time. If I have to choose between being single and that, I'm going to stick to the single life."
"You could at least keep an open mind to meeting someone. It doesn't have to be at the Mating Run."
"Don't even get me started on that stupid event and its stupider rules." Rose grumbled.
Rose was about to start ranting about her hatred for the event when the door to the café was pushed open and a tall figure walked in.
Lightning struck near Leah's house. The strong wind slapped the window of her room. The hinges of the lock came off the hook, the window came loose, opening and closing like someone was banging on the door from the outside.Leah, who was sleeping, was suddenly startled when the sound of the window banging was heard loudly in her room, she got up from a half-lying position. Her body leaned against the headboard of her bed. She was silent for a moment, staring at the clock which showed one in the morning, smelling the scent of rain from the gust of wind went into her room.The window was still moving like a mental hospital prisoner going berserk. She got up and walked slowly towards the window. With both hands pulling the window inwards so that it would no longer move wildly, she sighed in annoyance when she saw that the window lock latch had been damaged by the strong gust of wind. She turned to the dressing table near her bed, then let go of the handle, letting the window move wildly a
It had been almost a week since she had shaved her armpit hair, until when she raised her hand, she saw a row of black hair in her armpit. Grace was stunned for a moment, what if tomorrow one of her friends caught the black hairs in the folds of her armpits? Surely she would be embarrassed by it. After taking the headache medicine, Grace took a special women's razor from the toolbox hanging near the medicine box.The razor consisted of four sharp blades, it was new (maybe Grace bought it three days ago). The razor is pink with Rubber teeth on the handle to make it easier for users to grip. Grace opened the safety of the knife blade, then washed it first with water from the sink faucet. She took shaving foam from her equipment box, and shook the can before pressing the top of the can. White, lemonade-scented foam rose in her palm. After lifting her left armpit, she rubbed the shaving foam on her ar
The sun had set about two hours ago when Grace had dinner with her mother and little brother at their house big but empty. That night, for the umpteenth time, her father had to go out of town to review her new business. As a businessman, her father never trusted other people to inspect his new business location. Sometimes just a few days, but often weeks.Grace has accustomed to this situation, her brother and mother depend on her when her father was not at home. The maid her father hired only come in the morning and go home after sunset. After that she was the one who had to take care of her mother who had been paralyzed for several years ago, since virus attacked her mother brain cells.A case that is quite rare and usually attacks children. A year after the virus was diagnosed it developed in her mother's brain cells, her mother suffers from permanent paralysis which causes her to spend time in a wheelchair. In fact, what was sad was that her mother's motor skills slowly disappeared
This morning Leah was late, she getting out of her car and she rushed to class. Last night she could not sleep because of the sound she was sure was heard from outside her bedroom window, the sound was like the sound of someone crying bitterly. The voice sounded so far away, but it was clear enough for one to know that it was crying. There was someone crying in front of her house last night. Although she wasn't so sure, a part of her brain that was in charge of recording what was happening around her said so.There has been a significant change in the school's atmosphere, now Beatancy's students don't talk much anymore. Those who used to shout, run around, and mock anyone who was suitable as a target now just sat in silence.They were just busy eating their food, even students who were known to be troublemakers turned a hundred and eighty degrees into quiet students. As if there was a black fog that enveloped Beat
Mia stepped into her house, Leah watched her until she stood on the veranda of the house. Mia smiled her last smile before entering the house, and Leah ordered the driver to leave Mia's house. Leah told the driver to drive faster because she was really tired, and needed a warm shower to relax her tense muscles.Her stomach was also starting to feel hungry, after the nausea whacked her stomach for several hours, finally the tight feeling of hunger came. Not until fifteen minutes later Leah's car arrived at her house, Leah's driver drove the car very carefully when they entered garage.Leah immediately got off as soon as her car was perfectly parked, she walked into the house. Heavy rain fell when Leah opened the front door of her house, she looked up. It finally rained after the black clouds had hung in the sky for a long time, and the air was getting colder and colder.Leah passed the living room and found her mother sit
