False Happiness

Cassie's POV

"Hey sis.  I found a baby."  Johnny said.

"Cool I had three more babies and I can't keep one,"  I said not taking my eyes off of the babies I had in my arms.  I didn't want to take my eyes off of these two because I was afraid that Xander would take them from me too.

"Well, I was thinking about calling this one Tina,"  Xander said catching my attention. 

"Did you not find an Alpha to take her?"  I asked as I felt my heart pounding.

"I did but Marcus told me she could be his servant so that he can be sure she will be treated right,"  Xander said as he rubbed Tina's little head with a big smile on his face.

"When I am Alpha I will make a rule that Omegas are to be treated well.  No matter what kind of Omega they are.  Most of them will be servants and not breeders."  Marcus said sounding like a confident Alpha already.  I forgot for a second that he was only ten years old.

"Just remember what I told you earlier,"  Xander said suddenly.

"Yeah, you said if I refuse to use Omegas for what they are meant for I would get challenged but you didn't say I couldn't let them choose which one they can be.  You also told me that when I am Alpha this pack would be mine and that I would make the decisions as you do.  If a she-wolf is born an Omega I will let her decide if she wants to be a breeder or servant."  Marcus said as he crossed his arms.

"I did say that and it is true,"  Xander said smiling.  "Cassie, Tina will live in this pack but I am sorry since she is an Omega I can not let you raise her.  Your brother and my brother have offered to raise her as their own since they can't have a pup on their own."  Xander's words sliced right threw me like butter.  When I was pregnant for the first time he told me I could raise all of my children and now not only did he take one away and nearly allowed her to go to a different pack but now my brother was getting her and I would have to watch her grow up but not get to hear her call me mom.

"You promised you wouldn't take any of my children away.  Now you are for a second time.  Boys why don't you go check on your siblings."  I said without taking my eyes off of my mate.  When they did as they were told I started again, "How could you?"  I said with as much anger as I could.

"Cassie I can not raise an Omega.  First, it is thought of as a sin for us to be mates.  If I raise her as my child the elders would come and strip me of my Alpha title.  I would be a rogue and you would be treated as an Omega.  Do you think you would enjoy being raped every day?  You would never once get to even hold your children.  If they decided you should be a servant everyone in this pack would beat you and even if you did your job right they would beat you.  You wouldn't have me protecting you."  Xander said but I didn't care.

"I will not share a bed with someone who would lie to me so easily,"  I said as I felt a tear fall from my eye.

"Cassie listen to me now!"  Xander said in his alpha tone making it where I had to listen.  "I am not trying to hurt you.  Quintin could you and Johnny take Tina home."  Xander said over his shoulders.  

"You promised.  You lied."  I said as more tears fell down my face.  I couldn't believe I have spent the last ten years thinking Xander loved me.  I was wrong.  I was his Omega nothing more.

"I did promise and I shouldn't have.  Cassie the reason why Omegas don't get mates is that they are destined to pass on the omega gene to at least one of their daughters if not all.  I was the fool who thought since I was alpha that would change the fact that you were an Omega.  I still don't understand why the Moon Goddess gave me you as a mate if she planned on also giving us a daughter who was an Omega but she did."  Xander said as he placed his hand on my cheek.  I pulled away allowing my wolf to growl through me.  She was angrier than I was.  "Fine.  You will sleep in the apartment next to mine like you did before you first gave birth."  Xander said as he stood up and walked out.

I couldn't stand the idea of seeing my daughter growing up and not being able to love her the way a mother is supposed to love her child.  I lay there and thought about what it would be like to watch my daughter grow up but call her my niece instead.  A few hours later Martin came for a visit.  "Xander told me to come and sit with you.  He also told me what happened.  I think it is wrong.  Just because Johnny's mate is a male doesn't mean he should have been the one to take your daughter as his."  Martin said as he sat in a chair next to the baby bed that Lola was laying in.

"He promised me that I wouldn't be like other Omega Breeders and I would get to keep all of my babies.  Today he tells me he has given our daughter to a neighboring pack.  Then I thought he changed his mind and was going to let me keep her and now my brother is taking her from me.  I never want to talk to Johnny again or Xander."  I said as my anger level started to rise again.

"You don't mean that. Xander loves you."  Martin said as he looked at his newborn niece.  

"No he doesn't to him I am simply an omega. I bet he wishes that I wasn't his mate and just some breeder to help him grow his pack."  I said as I let go of the tears I was holding back.

"You don't know how he feels.  You are thinking about this as a mother.  He can't just think about it as a father he also has to think about the entire pack.  He is the alpha.  You are a Luna but in reality, Luna's don't have very many responsibilities other than having the alpha's pups.  He has to do what is right for the whole pack."  Martin said.  I knew he was right but it still hurt.  I still felt betrayed by Xander and Johnny.

"But why Johnny?"  I said I still couldn't believe that my brother was also in on this.  I couldn't think about anything else.  While my brother and I sat there quietly my daughter, Ashleigh, came crawling into the room.  Xander walked in behind Ashleigh.  I turned in the bed.  I wasn't ready to look at him.  I wanted nothing to do with him.  He broke his promise and I never wanted to see him again.  Although I knew that wasn't going to happen.  If it wasn't for my kids I would sneak off and find a new pack to join.  

"Dr. Branson said you can leave now.  Let's go.  Now!"  Xander said in his alpha tone.  Based on his tone I could tell I was in trouble.  "The kids are staying in my apartment.  You can stay in your little apartment."  Xander said rudely.

"Well, Lola and Bethany are staying with me,"  I said sternly.  I would die before I let him take my other two babies from me.

"No, they are not.  If they need to be fed I will bring them to you.  You are on punishment.  If you want to be treated like an Omega I will show you how good you have had it these past ten years."  Xander said as he lifted Lola into his arms.  Martin took Bethany.  "Quintin, will you grab Ashleigh?"  Xander said.  I felt like he was going to take them all away from me.  I felt very betrayed.

We made it to our apartments and I went straight to mine.  I felt like I wasn't going to an apartment I felt like I was going to a small prison cell that I was for sure never going to come out of again.  After I entered I heard Xander locking the door behind me.  I was completely alone.

Xander's POV

"Daddy, why is mommy being locked in that room?"  Leonardo said as he watched me lock the room.

"Your mother is on punishment for speaking to her alpha so rudely.  You and your siblings will have to stay away from this door until I lift your mother's punishment."  I said as I lead my young son out of my room.  I loved Cassie with everything I had.  I would have done anything for her but lately, she has been pulling away and I just can't have it.  She has let the fact that she is my mate go to her head and she has been acting like the Luna but in reality Omegas can never be Lunas.

I decided I would go to my office and think about things.  I had to figure out what to do with Cassie.  I didn't want to mistreat her or take her pups away but she really needed to learn that I was not the enemy.  I simply could not take on raising Tina.  If I did the elders would realize I was her father and that her mother was not only an Omega but also my mate.  Being my mate technically she was the packs Luna.  I never formally claimed her as such.  I knew in order to do so I would have to inform the Elders of my crimes and if they saw fit they would rip the title of alpha away.  My children would be separated and Cassie would become a true Omega.

I had no way of escaping those facts.  I have been lucky so far that Alpha Leo hasn't reported me to the Elders.  Now it has been to long and if he did report me he would have to explain why he didn't do it sooner and he too could be ripped of his Alpha title.

When I made it to my office a she wolf named Langston was there.  "Hi Alpha.  It has been a long time."  Langston said as she got out of the chair she was sitting in and walked over to me and started to rub my chest.

"Listen Langston, I have a lot of work to do.  I will see you later."  I said as kindly as I can.  Everyone in this pack thought Langston would be my mate.  We dated a lot in High school but I felt nothing for her then and I feel even less now.  She was just simply the pack slut.

"Alright I will be sure to see you later."  She said before she planted her lips on mine.  I had no desire to return the kiss.  She wolves were just not the same now that I had Cassie.  I sat down in my chair and continued to think about what to do about my Omega mate.  I could keep her as an omega and continue to mate with her or I could risk everything and name her as my Luna.  Perhaps if I named her as my Luna she would realize I wasn't taking Tina away to hurt her but because I had to.  The problem with naming Cassie as my Luna I would risk the girls in my pack without mates reporting me to the elders.  As of right now all the girls think she is just an Omega I like to sleep with when ever I didn't have the company of another girl.
