The Cultist

The next day the pack was quiet, but everything seemed to have gone back to normal. It was my day off, and Rhory said he'd come see me at some point - but when? I might as well go for a walk, stretch my legs. There is a path in the woods that leads to a waterfall. I'll go there.

I toss on something comfortable and head out, leaving Bre snoring comfortably in her bed. I toy with my mother's rose pendant as I walk down and out the dorms, heading outside to be greeted by the crisp fall wind. I love this time of the year, comfy sweaters are my favorite.

Heading towards the path, I quickly realize I am not alone - running into Juniper seemingly lost and by herself. "Oh, hello - I uh." Juniper fidgets, looking from me to the woods.

"Lost?" I give her a polite smile. "Where are you trying to get to?" 'Be cautious with her. She smells strange.' Vesper growls, clearly agitated by the new female.

"Yes-no? I mean...Circe told me Rainer was out here waiting for me." Juniper relaxes a bit, loo

  • Just the Omega side character.   What Next?

    I keep walking down the path towards the waterfall, mind wandering all over the place of the rumors of the 'cultists' and the insane rules they follow. A fated mate was one of them, a person made just for you chosen by the Goddess herself - someone that you just love. You are forced to be with this person. Doesn't matter if you are actually compatible. There are pulls to others, in a way - but not that extreme. A male that is suitable for breeding smells nice, but dating seals the deal.It said these 'matings' are made by the goddess, but I remember some omegas talking about how it was a witches spell that is used by a false Goddess to manipulate those in the packs to behave accordingly. Just magic - nothing celestial. I'd never want to just be stuck with a person I didn't know, or hated. That sounds gross.Arriving at the waterfall, it is quiet. There is a bench to sit and just listen, sometimes I come out here with a book to read. Vesper alerts, growling. 'Elesi I smell blood.' My

  • Just the Omega side character.   Curses and Jealousy

    We arrived at the pack hospital, it's not very big, but still a large building. Those in the pack come here for all sorts of care, from dentistry to check ups. I head to the clinic's side, which is similar to a human's EAR. Rhory walks away once I go inside, likely going to change or attend to other business. I really don't know if he is coming inside with me. A nurse approaches me, "Hey there Omega Elesi, my name is Violet. You can call me Vi if you like." She gives me quite the customer service smile, before looking around me curiously. "Didn't you come here with Rhory?" I can feel Vesper growl, clearly picking up that this female likes Rhory. "He escorted me as a wolf...so I don't know where he is now." I say politely. "Hrm." Violet seems disappointed, giving me a bit of a pout. "I was so excited to hear he was coming this way." She shakes her head before she leans close to me to whisper. "I believe he is going to be my mate. I have been trying to seduce that man for a few week

  • Just the Omega side character.   Mother?

    We leave the clinic and there is a bit of silence between us. I am unsure how to act, a bit embarrassed at how I did, but curious of who Violet was to him. Did he date any others? Is he flirting with anyone other than me right now? Jealousy isn't a good look on me at all, but wolves are territorial when they find someone they like. I go to speak, but Rhory catches me off guard. "I am not seeing Violet anymore. I dated her for a bit, but our personalities don't mesh well." He looks uncomfortable, but gives me a gentle smile. "I have been looking for someone for a bit, but haven't really had much luck." Vesper rumbles, clearly thinking of what he is saying. "That is normal to date around..." I shuffle nervously, not really sure if that came out right. "You are just my first." Rhory looks a bit confused, giving me a glance like 'really?' and it makes me so embarrassed. I might be a bit of a pervert, but that is to be expected with wolves - all they want to do half the time is mate wi

    The scent is gone. All is quiet - too quiet. I stand up and look around and realize I am outside the boundaries of the territory. Shit. Vesper grumbles. 'We have to get back before something finds us.' She is on alert, heightening her senses for danger. I turn around and start walking back towards the border and that is when I hear the crunching of leaves. Please be a deer. Please be a deer. 'Not a deer.' Vesper growls as she alerts me of something moving to my right. I wing around and try to let out a growl to hopefully scare it off, but am quickly tackled by something. "A werewolf?" A strange voice whispers to me, pinning me behind a tree. "Shhh. SHHHH" He sounds worried, afraid of something. I open my eyes to see a smaller male with some strength hold my mouth closed as he pins me, unable to move much more than a wiggle under him. My eyes shift from his red ones towards the woods, listening. There are many more leaves crunching. His hand is so cold, and his scent is odd. Tho

    Tirian had no scent. I now realize this, looking back at the woods behind me as they now bring more fear to my heart. What is going on? As I make my way past a fallen tree I smell someone familiar to me. Vesper growls, not happy with this. 'Juniper.' I spin around and begin searching in a hectic manner, unsure as to why she'd be out here. Is she in trouble? Are the cultists here for her? As I hit the fallen tree I spotted her, Juniper laying nude on the forest floor covered in wounds. Did she get into a fight? Is there something out here? I feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up and I run to her, wishing to check if she was alive. My eyes glaze over, wishing to mind link with Rhory. 'Rhory! I found Juniper injured badly in the woods. Find me. I need help!' I let out a loud howl, hoping to alert any wolves nearby to me needing help. I feel Rhory connect to the link, but not respond. "Juniper? Juniper!" I feel for a pulse, and I think she has one. I might not really like thi

    I walk up the stairs of the Omega packhouse quietly, trying to wrap my mind around everything that has happened. I think I am in shock, or perhaps I am dreaming. Everything going on is insane. My Mother is a zombie? Who was that man, Juniper's Brother? Elwood? Why was the Alpha holding her so tightly? How was she healing so fast? 'Don't forget about the vampire.' Vesper chimes in. What is going on? My head is spinning, opening the door to my room and shift, my body again filling with pain as I switch from Vesper to myself. I stand there naked, looking at myself in the mirror. That hurt. 'I wish I could have gone for a run.' Vesper rumbles, clearly upset. 'I don't like that strange man, Elwood. Something about his wolf made my skin crawl...'I should shower first, then get dressed. Running around in the woods has made me feel stinky. I grab a towel and a change of clothes and head over to the showers, planning to be quick so Rhory would not have to wait long for me. The floor was q

    I turn to leave, but immediately bump into Beta Ander and stumble. He grabs me, making sure I don't fall down. "There you are, Omega Elesi. I have been looking for you. Rainer and I have some questions for you, please follow me." I want to go back to the dorms and lay down, but it seems fate has another idea in mind. I follow Beta Ander, letting out a sigh, fidgeting as I feel like I am being sent to the principal's office. I kept silent, not really knowing what I could say.Ander leads me to the Alpha quarters, and then the office. The Alpha and Luna are absent, but Rainer is standing there lost in thought. "Rainer?" The Beta speaks up, aiming to pull his friend's attention. "I have brought her." Rainer looks up at me, then stands quickly. "What happened out there?!" Ander puts himself between Rainer and myself, protecting me from his outburst. "Get yourself together, Rainer. Your parents put you in charge of figuring this all out as a test.

    I was going to head to the clinic, but all I want to do is lay down now. Somewhere safe. Escape the chaos of this day under the comfy blanket of my bed. My body reacts to this, now heading towards the dorms. Bre left a note on the door, saying she'd be with her parents tonight. Alone sounds good right about now. I don't have to explain to yet another person how my day went. I almost tear off my clothes, my body still feeling so warm and crawl into bed. It doesn't take long before I feel myself drifting off, hoping that my dreams will grant me some relief from the day.I am awoken by a strange tapping noise. Is someone at my window? I am on the third floor. Slowly I move, my body still feeling strange from earlier. I make my way to the window and pull back the curtain, finding myself shocked to see Tirian perched outside it."Going to let me inside?" He whispers, watching me with those blood red eyes of his.

  • Just the Omega side character.   Rhory's Room

    Rhory pushes open the door to his private quarters, letting out a soft grunt as he puts me down gently on his bed, "You need to rest, Elesi. You are healing, not healed. " He looks down at me, clearly concerned. "I know, but I feel strange..." I whisper softly, looking away from his gaze. "Vesper also doesn't feel well. Being around Elwood makes my body strange..." A shiver crawls down my spine, and before I can move I feel Rhory move closer to me. "R-rhory?" "You reek of arousal. It has been hard for me to control myself. I felt so territorial with him near you earlier..." Rhory rumbles at me, pinning me gently to the bed. I can see in his eyes that he wants me, but is holding himself back as much as he can - even if he had me pinned it was gently. "I don't like him like that..." I look up at Rhory and admit to him how I feel about Elwood, not even knowing that male. "I don't like that he says we are fated mates. I don't believe it..." I can feel something poke my thigh, but it do

    Rhory takes me away from the clinic, seeming to want to just get away from Elwood and everything else. He looks strong, but I can feel that he is afraid, perhaps nervous. "Rhory. I think we can stop here." I speak up after we pass into the woods for a bit, not really knowing where we are. It was not a trail. He puts me down on a large boulder and looks me over, clearly worried. "I don't smell anyone around. He did not follow us, nor did anyone else." His eyes meet mine, piercing my soul. "Thank you. I really did not want to be near him. He makes my skin crawl and my body feel disgusting." I shiver, remembering the 'sparks' that wanted to overtake my mind. Vesper is softly whining, unhappy with the way our body feels. "He says we are mates..." Rhory's eyes widen as he lets out a soft territorial growl. "Bullshit. He doesn't even know you - how could you be-" He pauses, it seems to click. "What the fuck did Alpha Rainer bring into the pack..." He paces a bit, thinking for a moment. "

  • Just the Omega side character.   Father?

    I open my eyes with a groan, trying to move. The dream was gone, but I still remember her warning. My Father was coming. I try to get up, but feel a hand reach out to touch my arm. The touch feels strange, alarming. I know who this is. "Elwood..." His name hoarsely leaves my lips. "Go away." Elwood removes his hand, but he doesn't depart. "Who did this to you?" He is talking calmly, but I can feel his anger. "I-" Don't say anything Elesi, do you want more trouble from Evette? "I don't remember." I lied. I open my eyes and I see that I was brought to the clinic to get treated. This bed is uncomfortable. "Why are you protecting who did this to you?" Elwood looks at me with such a fierce gaze. The male is handsome, if you can get past the fact he belongs to a cult. "I must tell the doctor you are awake." He stands to leave, giving me the space I requested. Vesper is still on edge, but doesn't seem as aggressive towards him as she was before. "He saved us..." So he must have been the

  • Just the Omega side character.   Beaten and Bruised

    I make my way to the kitchens finally, taking a moment to think as I prepare Juniper something to eat. I can't believe my luck lately. I must be cursed. The Moon Goddess is playing a trick on me. Vesper rumbles, also upset about our luck. "I smell chaos approaching." Before I can even turn around I feel a hand on my shoulder, shoving me to the ground. I was caught off guard, unable to brace myself. I hit the floor with a thud, banging my head against the counter on my way down. "You snake!" A voice hisses at me, clearly displeased with me. "You should have told my Brother NO! Why would you serve that bitch!" The voice is clear now, it's Evette. Am I to be bullied now? I get why she is upset, but an Omega can not say no without just cause. "Please." I groan out, lifting a hand to touch my head - feeling something warm and wet. "I am merely following orders..." I look at my hand and see red. I am bleeding from the fall, great. "Following orders!?! Well as YOUR FUTURE LUNA you shoul

    I get up and head to the showers, at least I should go in late then not at all.I rush to the pack house to check in with the head Omega, but upon arrival I am met by Ander waiting for me in the kitchen. "There you are, Omega Elesi." He says with a tired smile, it seems someone didn't get much sleep last night. "Can I help you, Beta Ander?" I fix my hair up into a ponytail, trying to keep myself from fidgeting too much. "Alpha Rainer has asked me to fetch you when you come in this morning. He'd like for you to be assigned to help Juniper. It seems she has taken a liking to you - or well trusts you." He smiles at me, almost pleading with me to agree to this. I really REALLY don't want to, but I also know that any Omega that agrees to this is going to get bullied by Evette. I don't want any of my friends to suffer. I let out a sigh. "Fine. If the Alpha wishes, but please let it be known that HE asked me." I give him a look, and he raises his hands. "Deal. I will make sure people know
