“ Would you stop standing like a lost lamb? Get to work you lazy being “ the superior ordered me ,as I scrubbed the mansion floors with tiredness. “ You better hurry up you lazy being, Come fetch water for me when you're done “ the Delta’s wife ordered from behind as I exhaled in tiredness. I'd been working for two days straight with only three hours rest at night. The Eziele pack was planning for the return of the Alpha’s son. To test his strength to protect the pack, General Eziele, our Alpha, had ordered he go to war with one of our neighbouring rival packs and Orion had proved victorious. In a few weeks time Orion would be crowned the Alpha of the pack and everyone was preparing for the large ceremony. “ Oh my goodness , I can't believe so soon we would be having the mating ceremony, oh aren't you happy laury “ Sylvia danced behind me humming a goddess tune. I shrugged, continuing with my work like I didn't know what the mating ceremony was. They probably would make it a bigger ceremony on the coronation day of Orion. “Quit acting huff Laury, I'm sure you'd get a mate” Sylvia convinced, eliciting a laugh from me. “ Mate? Sylvia, are you dreaming? Let me be please “ Sylvia frowned and finally shut up as one of the superiors passed by. As my best friend and the only wolf around that tolerated me , we'd gone a long way as friends since the whole pack considered me an outcast. Born as omegas, our job at the pack was the most hectic, yet we were the less respected. Being an omega outcast worsened my case as I was made to work hard till late night when most of the omegas had retreated to their bed. Today was every omegas off day but being an outcast, I had to work and Sylvia had decided to help me. I knew how much the mating ceremony meant a lot to her, finally she might get mated to a Delta or Beta and be free from omega work as per the rules of the moon goddess. I believed I was cursed by the moon goddess, no one in the Eziele pack and even the whole of the Wolf's age would want to mate with me , I was considered a murderer after all. Turning my attention on the last piece of stone I was scrubbing, I finished it up with Sylvia standing quietly beside me. “I still believe you're gonna get a mate, no one is mateless” she insisted, helping me pack my tools to Delta Argon’s house. His wife , Lady Crawford, was expecting me . “ I just want to be free Sylv, I just want to be able to walk around knowing i have no burdens, I hate how people look at me ” I turned to her. She bit her lip from speaking any further. We both knew that would never be possible under the rule of General Eziele, maybe It would under Orion. “ Maybe Orion would do something about your treatment” Sylvia spoke out my thoughts and I snorted. Orion Eziele being the Alpha's son , worsened his role as a rude and pompous guy who wanted everyone at his beck and call. We the omegas dreaded his rule as he never spared any of us a kind glance. “ I can't wait to see you crowned as Luna my love, it would be such a happy day for me , I just hope you and Orion’s wolf recognize each other early and decide to bond “ Lady Crawford was heard discussing with her daughter, Angela as Sylvia and I neared her house. “ I really can't wait to be Luna mom, you know how I've been waiting for this all this while, the oracle even says Orion is definitely my mate” Angela and Orion had been friends since childhood and everyone believed they were mates. I didn't care who mated with who I just wanted a day to come when even if I was considered as an omega, I would be treated less harshly than I was now. Angela was the exact same as Orion, stuck up girl who also believed everyone would be at her beck and call. She had also been planning for the mating ceremony, picking out Orion's favorite colors to wear on the day. “ There she comes Mom, I'd get the barrels for her, don't want her touching anything here “ Angela stated, rushing inside to bring a barrel , throwing it in front of me before I got to her. “ Don't try helping Sylvia, go home , Omegas are off today, “ Angela ordered. Sylvia,not wanting to disobey her future Luna , sent an apologetic look my way and turned to leave. I picked up the barrel, making the short trip to the tanks , I filled the heavy barrels in over 50 trips and finally had my off time. After fetching the water ,I was finally let go and I reported back to my supervisor. The supervisors mostly consisted of Older omegas who made sure the younger ones worked hard enough. They were controlled by Elders and superiors such as the Delta's, Gamma's and Beta's. “ Tomorrow the General’s son returns , I expect you to be at the pack grounds early and make sure the pack grounds are befitting for a ceremony. I want no laziness, even though you aren't getting a mate , I expect you to make that place beautiful “ Supervisor Grace ordered and dismissed me. So it was true? I wouldn't be getting any mate. Not that I expected to, everyone has different wishes and mine wasn't about getting a mate. Reaching my family house which was at the outskirts of town , silent on the inside and outside, I quickly locked myself in it , munching on the bread given to me by lady Crawford. Not bothering to reminisce on the events of the day , I fell into a deep sleep. ★★★ Flashback....... “stop it Laury,you're hurting me “ I couldn't stop, it felt like something was growing through me , forcing my anger out in the form of fire . “ Calm down Delaury,it will go down” Dad cooed from behind. I could feel him suffering to breathe as whatever energy it was blocked his strength too. I couldn't calm down and soon their voices died down, leaving me weak ..but there was one thing that led to the whole burst of energy and my mind couldn't just bring it out. The uncomfortable feeling surged through me until I could feel my brain shutting down…. End of flashback...... I woke up drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, the bed soaked to the core. Sighing in frustration I picked my mom's old blanket , wrapping it around me ,I sat on the lone chair in the room. I'd been living alone for over 15 years, working as an omega outcast after the sudden death of my parents and my siblings. I killed them. I don't remember how but I woke up from a deep sleep with General Eziele announcing their death and my hand in it. Now at 21 , I still can't decipher how I committed such a gruesome crime and why my memories wouldn't just agree to go back to that night anytime I had a bad dream.Orion’s Pov The baby with brown hair lay in my arms, her smile was as bright as the sun as she kicked her legs high up on the hair. “ Isn't she too young to be kicking?” I asked Sylvia. She rolled her eyes at me and continued with the soup she was preparing. Sebastian has to check on the young wolves today so he asked me to check on them. Sylvia and I had gotten closer so there was no problem talking. “ My daughter has the strength of a thousand Alphas” she said and placed a bowl in front of me. “Eat, you look like Ervin and his wolf” she teased and I let out a laugh. “ How does Ervin and his wolf look like? “ “ Dehydrated , Malnourished and scrawny ,how did you even make him on of your associates? “ I shrugged amidst laughter. “ Ervin has been a good wolf just too slow unlike Sebastian” “ I know Sebastian is your favorite “ she said proudly and I laughed. “ I understand why he likes you so much,you're funny” “ Me? Funny ? Wait till you meet–” she paused and watched me qui
Delaury's POV Jules finally deemed me fit to walk today. I'd been in bed all the week, with only short movements from the bathroom and back. “ I'm guessing she can do anything now,” Tristan asked him, his hands squeezing mine. “ Not anything,” Jules replied. He knew what Tristan was asking about. “ That's not fun, don't I get to take something from you after taking care of you” “ There are other ways I can replace it” He shook his head silently and we waited in silence till Jules left. “Today the oracle would speak to me,” Tristan said as soon as the door closed behind us. “ It's been glowing so much lately,I guess it has special information. “ Okay” “ I'm hoping it's about when we're mating” I sighed quietly, mating with Tristan might have been high a few weeks ago but now, the idea was not so thrilling. “ You're not saying anything brownie, are you fine? “ “ Yes, I am ,thank you” “ For what? You're not following,I'm talking about the mating ceremony “ “
Orion’s POV“ I need to –” “ No, Orion, it's not time to confront your father yet,leave him alone ! He chose my friend and that was all” “ But he hurt you” “ You wouldn't be born if he has chosen me “ “ But–” “ No buts, I'm not telling you this because I want to, you asked. Besides there's a lesson there for you to learn “ “ Fine, but do you promise we'll revisit this matter? “ “ Of course Just not now Orion, focus on what's needed” she said and picked her stick to leave. “ Remember,time is ticking “ I say there for while before getting up to leave. A million thoughts ran through my head with none being straight to the point. “ I've been searching for you , Your Dad seems to be in a furious mood” Fidele said.“ Don't worry about him, tell the Omegas they may take a day off “ I said. I didn't know why but the urge to make sure that the omegas were involved in most of the pack activities has been consuming me all day. “ Where have you been Orion? “ Angela asked, pouting. “ Ar
Orion's Pov For the first time ever, I was wondering what would have happen if the moon goddess had just mated Angela and I together. Delaury wouldn't be banished but she'd still be an outcast, old Tasha would never have spoken up and I wouldn't be here watching her in awe as she braided a strand of her long white hair. “ My mom? You knew my mom? “ She nodded absentmindedly. “ I'm not a child Orion and I'm not too old to remember people, Angelina and I were friends” she said. Dad only told me she'd been killed by a rival pack, actually he kept changing how she was killed. “ Friends as in age mates? “ “ Yes, my hair is white because it's hereditary, a family inheritance that I chose to keep, I use a stick to walk because I broke my waist years ago, and i don't talk to anyone because I choose not to, I'm too overwhelmed by Angelina's death” “ What happened?” I never saw a picture of her around, Dad threw them all out, saying he didn't want me to be hurt all the time though I yea
Orion's Pov “ You carried a pack baby for months and decided to name her Delaury? after a cursed soul? “ Giselle scowled behind Sylvia and Sebastian. We were having a ceremony for the birth and thought they preferred a quiet one with no other disturbance. I'd convinced them to go ahead with the pack’s normal routine, inviting the older wolves for the ceremony. Giselle, an old grumpy woman, was pissing me off more than the couples standing in front of me. “ So , we welcome this beautiful baby to the Eziele pack, may she grow to explore certain parts and prove all odds wrong” I said, staring pointedly at the women who cast furtive glances at me. “ Orion” Giselle called out .“ Giselle? “ “ Why aren't you bothered by their choice of name ?” “ Delaury is a name , Giselle, it's the name of this baby and several other female wolves across the wolf's age, one cursed person doesn't affect them all” I retorted. Though Israel grunted when I said ‘cursed’. “ It's the Eziele pack we're tal
Delaury's POV “ It's so smooth ,yet it feels unreal” Krystal ran her hands down the mark in awe. I was lying on the bed now, on my stomach as she examined the mark. I know she had mind- linked Tristan, so definitely he was coming. “ And you haven't seen this before?”As much as I wanted to say the truth to her, instincts told me to shut up. “ No, “I used to draw them in a book when I was in the Eziele pack, I drew them out so I could remember each and every design my family had on their back. I even drew mine out, just like Dad’s . Yet mine came out worse.“ Krystal what's wrong? “ Tristan burst in and the familiar grape scent filled my nose, Jules was with him obviously and he didn't seem too convincing enough to know what was behind me.“ When did you find out about this? “ Tristan asked, passing his hands over the mark. “ Just today, she wanted to know how much of a scar she has now so she walked to the mirror to check and that's where we saw it” “ Have you seen someone with
Delaury's POV Five days. Five days of being indoors and my mid section wrapped with bandages . My breasts were pushing against the bandages, begging to be freed. I wonder why Jules found it right to bandage my breast too. How exactly did the lightning strike? The blood has stopped now and currently I was able to prop up on the end without hissing. “ Water? “ Krystal asked as she lay beside me on the bed. Tristan wanted to bring in another maid but she had refused, saying she was just pregnant and not disabled. She used to come see me and then go back to her room after seeing to my needs, but after my weird episodes of nightmares,she'd decided to sleep with me instead. “ Yes, can I get grapes too? “ I pleaded. She gave me a warm smile and got up to leave. Tyron came in after she left. “ Hi, Krystal told me you're awake, come to check on you” he said. “ Thank you so much, I appreciate this” “ I'm sorry Delaury, I really wanted to stop him, I don't know what's wrong with him these
Orion’s POV “ Calm down Sylvia, relax and bring it out!” Old Tasha soothed, her hands gently caressing Sylvia's stomach as she panted. Just when she had decided to talk, Sebastian had rushed out for help and she had rushed into their house before me. The care attendants ran back when they saw who was coordinating the child's birth. I smirked. “ We're not doing this again, Sebastian; go fuck Orion next time! “ She yelled, taking a deep breath as she pushed once more. I was as traumatized as Sebastian, who was on the verge of tears at his mate in pain. I was standing beside him whilst Old Tasha stood in front of her, waiting to receive the baby if she pushed harder. She was gentle yet firm with her. “ Calm down Sylvia, calm down, this baby is a strong one” she encouraged. That seemed to make Sylvia confident and she pushed.“ Can't male wolves give birth? “ She asked no one in particular, Old Tasha did have a mysterious smile to her face. Her first. “ Now do one last push, and
Delaury's POV Flashback: “ Mom, what's that behind you? “ I traced the nice tattoo behind her back as she swam in the ocean. “ Oh, it's something you'd get to know when you're older” “ I've seen Dad ,Dana and Delah have it but I don't “ “ Like I said hunny, you'd know when you're older, it's a powerful symbol for our family “ she explains, splashing water on my brown hair to get it wet. “ How will I get it Ma? “ “ Dad and I got it during our confession night, you know it was a forbidden night for us, that's why it's large, Dana and Delah got it during their first shift to a wolf “ “ So theirs isn't forbidden? “ She shook her head. “ When it's forbidden, it depicts the kind of wolf you'll become “ “ Which wolf? ““ A very strong one baby, don't worry young head, let's play with the water” I agreed, what was there to think of anyway? end of Flashback ★★★The lights blinded my already dark vision and I squinted even in my sleep. The pain at my back was so severe that I coul
