I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 1: THE WEAK LUNA
**Evelyn**“Luna, it's so boring here! Can we go to the park and play? Please Luna! We miss playing with you!” I looked at the little boy smiling up at me, his big brown eyes full of innocence and hope. If only I could feel half as hopeful as him... Too bad. I was not as naïve as a four-year-old.Shaking off the unpleasant thought, I smiled at him even though it never reached my eyes. How could I explain to a child that we were in the midst of a war and our peaceful days were all but a memory? “I would really love that too, but not today, Mike. We can go to the park some other day,” I said before pausing, trying to think how I could explain to him that going out was not safe anymore. But I didn’t want to be the one to taint his innocence. Not when his parents had tried their best to shield him from the horror that was happening around him.“Why not now?” He pouted, his eyes drooping dramatically. “We are a little busy now, kiddo. Otherwise, will I ever say no to my favorite little b
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 2: MATE
**Evelyn**I stood there watching the warrior carrying the woman, my heart thundering inside my chest. I couldn’t help but run my gaze over the woman. With each step she got closer to me, a strange fear gripped my heart. With hair as black as night and pale unblemished skin to go with it, I would have recognised her if I had seen her even once before in my life. And I most certainly haven’t. So who was this stranger, and why was Ryan bringing her here?I tried to reason to myself that I was just shaken by seeing the deaths and injuries from the war. Not to mention the hostility the pack members had shown me a while ago. But still, those thoughts didn’t help me get over the uneasy feeling I had after seeing the girl. Taking in a shaky breath, I fisted my hands to hide the slight tremble in my fingers as I kept watching the woman, unable to peel my eyes away from her. Curly black lashes fanned her cheeks while her thin pink lips were turning down into a frown. With her small button nose
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 3: MINE FOREVER
**Evelyn**Mate… her voice echoed in my head as utter chaos ensued in the pack. “Mate?!” Elder Anthony shrieked gleefully, looking between the girl and Ryan, before turning to me with a gloating look. But I just stood there numbly, seeing everything but not registering anything. As if I was a stranger watching it all happen to someone else. Amidst the cacophony of voices of the elders and the pack members that gathered there by now, the girl walked towards Ryan as if in a daze. Suddenly, the haze in my mind cleared up and my senses turned sharp. She was walking towards my man! Fated mate or whatever, Ryan was mine now and mine forever! I rushed towards him and stood in front before she reached him. The girl tilted her head in a questioning look as she stared at me, annoyance flashing in her eyes at the hindrance. As she stood there studying me, I did the same. I didn’t realize it before since she was lying down, but now that she was standing up, she was on the shorter side. Maybe abo
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 4: SELFISH WOMAN
**Evelyn***One month later*I sighed as I sat alone in the garden, the place where I had once found solace even in the darkest of my days. But right now, as I sat there alone, without the voice of the kids who joined me to play or hear stories from me, I felt more lonely than I had ever felt in my life. Just as I had thought the day Sandra pulled little Mike away from me and left, it was as if the entire pack decided against letting their kids play with me. Even though I saw the kids staring at me wistfully some days, they never came to play with me again after that day. Those innocent souls didn’t seem to know what had I done to deserve this isolation. They could only obey their parents and stay away from me, the fake Luna. Yes, the fake Luna. That was the title I gained ever since the day Freya had arrived. I closed my eyes, the garden eerily silent ever since I came here. Even the birds seemed to stay silent in my presence, huh? I didn’t feel this empty even during those days in t
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 5: SO TIRED
**Evelyn**I closed my eyes, memories of the time when Ryan and I had first confessed our love for each other flashing through my mind. We were both under eighteen then, and I had hoped that the deep connection we shared probably meant that we were fated mates. But I was sorely disappointed when I turned eighteen, only to discover that I was not his mate. For a while, I had tried to pull away from him, not wanting to keep him away from his mate, who could make him a stronger Alpha. But Ryan was relentless in his pursuit, telling that the bond between us was stronger than any superfluous mate bond. That he didn't care for the strength which his fated could bring when he will be stronger with just my presence beside him. And slowly, I had surrendered to his charms once again, thinking that our love was strong enough to overcome the magic of mate bond. And I still thought that when Freya had come here just over a month ago. I trusted Ryan with all my heart, and I knew he loved me more tha
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 6: FAREWELL
**Evelyn**I followed elder Zachary out of the packhouse, a small duffel with just a few clothes and essentials in my hand. My heart felt heavier with each step I took and I had the sudden urge to run back to my room. It’s not too late yet! I can just close my door and wait for Ryan. We can talk and solve our issues and everything will go back to how it was. Startled at the selfish thought that flashed in my mind, I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I had already made the decision to give up Ryan for the better of the pack. I had to do it even if it killed me…I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms, and the pain helped me stay level-headed. As we walked farther into the north wing, away from the servant quarters, I wondered why we hadn't even encountered a single maid till now. This entire thing was going a little too smooth for my liking and my instincts were screaming at me that something was wrong. That it couldn't be this easy. I looked around uneasily, my eyes scann
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 7: GONE...
**Ryan**I let out a growl, throwing away the papers that I was supposed to review and sign. My mind was in utter chaos and there was no use trying to work right now. Closing my eyes, I tried to remember what had happened after I had left the meeting because of a pounding headache that almost left me blind. All I could remember was staggering to our bed and falling on it before everything went blank. The next thing I know, I was waking up to Evie’s heart wrenching cry. Seeing Evie look at me as if she was giving up on me, on us, I hoped she would still trust in me. Trust that I will never do anything to betray her. But when she said she was going to leave me, I panicked. I lost all reason as fear overtook my senses and I am not proud of what I did in my desperation to keep her with me. I should never have stooped as low as to lock her in the room, but I was so frantic to stop her from leaving that it was the only thing that came to my mind at that moment. Right now, I really regretted
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 8: SAVIOR
**Evelyn***Three days later…*I woke up startled, sitting up on the bed as my hand flew to my chest. I panted heavily as the remnants of a nightmare still lingered in my mind, a sense of loss and misery washing over me. ‘Dream. It is just a dream,’ I told myself and slowly my breathing turned normal. Once I turned calm, I opened my eyes, only to stiffen as I realised that I was not in my room. Suddenly, I remembered how the assassins tried to attack me after I left the pack and how I had fallen off the cliff while trying to escape. As if on cue, a torrent of aches and pains assaulted me, a pounding headache the worst of all. Trying to ignore the throbbing pain in my arms, I scooted over to the edge of the bed. Warily, I looked over the room, trying to find any clues to where I was. I With bare white walls and minimal furniture, the room lacked any personal touch. It left no clue about the owner. I bit my lips as I pondered the situation, wondering if I was in enemy territory or no

**Ryan**“Alpha, didn’t you promise that the Luna will be back soon? Why isn’t she back yet?”Under the accusing stare of the little guy in front of me, I felt like a criminal.“She will come, Mike,” I said, and I didn’t know if I was trying to convince him or myself. My mind flashed to the moment I saw the brown-haired woman in the marriage. She looked nothing like my Evie, but my mind told that it was my Evie. And she saw me marrying Freya. Even if it wasn’t her, the news must have spread that I had married Freya. Evie would certainly have heard of it by now. She would hate me by now, wouldn’t she? After all, I had married another woman even after promising her that I will never even glance at any woman other than her. Whatever my reasons may be, there was no excuse for my actions. She will never come back to me now. I had lost my Evie forever. I was startled out of my thoughts when the little one spoke. “But Momma said we have a new Luna and the old one is gone forever. That I sh
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 21: GUEST
**Evelyn**I turned to see Caleb standing there, staring at me with wide eyes, and I frowned. “I shouldn’t go there?” I asked, pointing towards the inconspicuous looking herbs and he nodded furiously.“Why?”“Uh… Brother Lucian has prohibited us from going to that area!” He said, his voice sounding nervous and I frowned, looking back at the herbs. Even after a second glance, they looked nothing special. Huh?“Why aren’t you allowed to go there? Is there anything special about those herbs?” I asked curiously.Caleb looked conflicted as if pondering something and then he straightened up.“The herbs there… They have harmful effects. Some of those are even toxic to touch and should be handled with gloves only. That’s why we should never go to that area,” he said and I stared at him in shock. Toxic to touch? Wasn’t that too dangerous for a place with kids? I know he said they were prohibited to go there, but we were talking about kids here! Who didn’t know that they loved to explore and r
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 20: NEW LIFE
**Evelyn**It has been a week since the day I left the pack with Lucian. For a day, I had been riddled with anxiety and guilt at leaving the pack in such a perilous state. I knew that Lucian was right, and I had no connections with the pack anymore. That I had no reason to worry anymore about them. But it was hard to get rid of the feelings I harbored in my mind in just a day. Afterall, I had been their Luna for years and caring for them had been ingrained in my blood. I couldn’t just stop caring because they chose someone better than me as their Luna. And hence, I couldn’t help but worry about the fate of the pack after the attack, hoping that they were all fine.The next day, Lucian brought news that everyone in the pack was safe and there were no casualties in the attack. Even though I was relieved at the news, when I heard how the enemy had destroyed the pack’s barn, I was worried once again. Without supplies to aid them in the winter, how were they going to survive? But I decided
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 19: CRESCENT MOON
**Ryan**Slowly, we all turned to see Freya who was standing there, her face full of determination. To be honest, I had even forgotten she was there. Seeing her confidence, I felt a mix of agitation and indignation. Even though my first instinct was to ignore her, I couldn’t just leave the matter when she had made such a declaration, can I?“You can help?” I asked, my brows raised in curiosity. Freya gazed at me before nodding confidently. “How?” I asked, and she smiled. “I know you don’t think much of me, Ryan. You think of me as a nuisance who caused Evelyn to leave you. Even though I only wanted to help you find her, circumstances led you to marrying me. And you think I deliberately trapped you even though I never had any such intentions,” she said, and I nearly rolled my eyes.“What does this have to do with the situation we are facing now?” I asked, not interested in her declaration of innocence. Freya shook her head before sighing.“You may have forgotten, but I am not just
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 18: I CAN HELP
**Ryan**“What did you say?” I asked Elder Anthony, daring him to repeat his words. How dare he accuse Evie like that? Elder Anthony, rather than realize the fury in my eyes, visibly grew excited as he nodded at me.“It could only be her! She is the only one with the motivation! Think about it! Who will have a grudge against the entire pack than a Luna who was scorned by all? She was forced to leave the pack, and she lost her husband to his mate. She will definitely be pissed and have all the reasons to hate us!” Elder Anthony declared proudly.“You are right. It is clear the intruders knew the exact location of the barn. That is possible only if a member of the pack sold them that information and who else would do it than a vengeful woman who lost her power and man both?” Elder Timothy added his own ideas.“Exactly! And the timing! Such a thing has never happened before this and right after she leaves the pack, someone knows the location of the barn! Isn’t it clear that she was the
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 17: TRAITOR?
I took one more look in the direction I had seen the woman I thought was Evie, but I couldn’t spot her anymore. Hearing the shouts of the warriors, I hesitated for a moment, torn between trying to find Evie and fighting the enemies. But hearing the desperate yells of the warriors, I turned and rushed to the front of the packhouse where the warriors were fighting the intruders.Forgetting everything else, I focused on the battle, my body entering the battle mode where all I cared about was defeating the enemies. Soon, our warriors were winning over the intruders. Suddenly, cries came from the west side of the pack and we froze, looking at each other as we stopped attacking the intruders. Hearing the shouts grow louder, I turned in that direction for a moment and my eyes widened in horror when I saw smoke coming from there. Did that mean…“Fire! The barn on the west side is on fire! Someone help!” somebody shouted, and I felt my heart skip a beat. Damn it!While we were distracted by t
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 16: NO LONGER MINE
**Evelyn**The day of the full moon, I was surprised to see the makeup artist Lucian brought to me. I wondered what he was up to, but he just gave me a mysterious smile, asking me to trust him and let the girl work. Figuring it was part of his plans, I just let her do as she wanted and even wore the dress she gave. Honestly, I was expecting to go there in a disguise and was expecting some hooded dress or even a men’s costume. That’s why I was surprised to find that the dress she gave me was a sky blue gown that was pretty but yet not too outstanding.“You are going to hide in plain sight. For that, you have to blend in,” Amy, the makeup artist, said with a smile and I nodded.“I guess that makes sense.”After she was done, I looked at the mirror and gasped. With brown hair and eyes, and the contours and even the tone of my face altered, I looked like a stranger even to myself. Pretty, but not too glamorous to warrant a second glance.“You are a magician. I can’t recognize myself,” I t
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 15: ATTACK
**Ryan**I hesitated for a moment before placing my hand on the divine orb, my mind flashing back to the moment when I had done the same with my Evie. I shook off the memory and looked at the orb. As instructed, I stated my name and rank as I sought the Goddess’s blessing. Following me, Freya did the same, placing her hand on top of mine. Despite the tingles that ran through my fingertips where my skin touched Freya’s, all I ever felt was disgust. I didn’t want her touching me! It just felt wrong!As the orb glowed brightly signifying the mate bond between me and Freya, cheers erupted around us. Hastily, I took my hand back from the orb and stared at the elder.“Now both of you chant the prayers to the Moon Goddess as I do,” the elder instructed before chanting the prayer. As I chanted the prayer, my eyes scanned everywhere for the familiar figure of my Evie. Was there anyone trying to hide in the shadows? Was there anyone wearing a hood to cover their face? Where are you, Evie?“And
I am an Omega, so what? CHAPTER 14: THE CEREMONY
**Ryan**I paced back and forth in my office restlessly, my mind full of questions. It was the night before the wedding day and I was too tense to lie down, let alone sleep. I hadn’t slept in our room ever since Evie had left the pack, anyway. Leaning against the windowsill, I went over the plans for the next day in my head for what felt like the umpteenth time. I couldn’t afford to make mistakes.As I stood by the window gazing at the moon that was almost full, I wondered what Evie was doing now. Was she also staring at this moon somewhere? Suddenly, I heard a slight noise that sounded like twigs snapping in the otherwise silent night and straightened, all my senses on alert. It was so late in the night and no one should have been outside here at this time of the day. So what was that sound? As I listened, I heard the sound again and then I saw someone step out of the packhouse, their silhouette shrouded in darkness. I watched curiously, wondering who was out at this time of the ni
