CHAPTER TWO

"Omega, get into that kitchen and fix breakfast for the Alpha and his family."

The shrewd head of servant shouts at me bringing me out of my self musings. I bow my head promptly and quickly head to the kitchen in my wet, soggy clothes. I sleep in the corridors by the way, I'm not allowed a bed, sometimes I think they are going too far in this Omega thing. I'm quick as I work, it helps to stay quiet and unnoticed unless I want to be bullied by other servants. It still baffles me how quick they were to turn full cruelty on me, and I was always nice to them unlike my older siblings who had been nothing but cruel to them well they do say its only the strongest that is respected and feared in this world. 

"Well, well, well. If it Isn't the Alpha's Omega bitch" 

crooned a very annoying voice from the doorway. My body tenses while I'm still working. Its Clarissa, one of the servants who just happens to be a big full time bitch. She has had it in for me ever since the day I was brought in here. Her constant ribbing and ridicules have become an every day routine to me, one that I don't enjoy at all. Of course I try not to let it show that she gets on my nerves but I don't know how long I can take this.

"Good morning, Clarissa. I hope you slept well?" 

I say to her with a smile that I'm really not feeling. She glares at me as she comes closer, I try not to be scared but I am. She has gotten even more confident ever since she started having sex with my brother. She knows that I know about it but she also knows that there is nothing I can do about it either. She has the right curves and looks to attract any man, with her wavy auburn hair and green eyes, and I am sure my brother didn't stand a chance at her charms.

"You have no right speaking to me or even looking at me in the eye. You may have been the Alpha's daughter but now you are nothing but a weak Omega" 

she whispers viciously in my ears then she straightens up. 

"The Alpha and his family await their breakfast." 

She curls her plump lips at me and scoffs as she sways out of the kitchen, maybe to look for another person to have fun with. I'm about to burst into tears, my hands are trembling. I calm myself down. "Its okay Avery, don't let her get to you. Its too early"

I quickly load the breakfast onto a huge trolley, my stomach grumbles loudly as I do so, I'm tempted to have a bite but I'm not permitted to eat until everyone in the house has eaten---my father's orders. But I don't blame him, after all its my fault for being an Omega.

As I push the trolley into the huge dining room decorated beautifully, I can hear laughter, I smile wistfully as I remember how I used to be part of that fun. I lower my head as I wheel in the trolley, as an Omega, I'm not supposed to keep my head up in the presence of high elites or anyone higher than me. Of course no one behaves like they know me, they just carry on talking as if I don't exist. I want to hurry out of here before I'm subjected to any form of humiliation from my siblings. As soon as I'm done I bow very low and turn to leave, the next thing I know a leg comes in my path and I trip falling face down onto the tiled floors hitting my head in the process, I cry out in pain but it seems as if my cry is music to their ears as they all burst out in laughter. I painfully pick myself up and start leaving.

"All of you should prepare because tomorrow you find your mates,...even she" 

"Hopefully she finds someone who can put up with her trashy stuff" my sister smirks

"Only someone as useless as she is will do so" my brother snorts. 

My father only booms out laughter.

My Mother's words stops me in my tracks, yes now I remember. Its the day I've been hoping for a long time. Tomorrow is the mate choosing ceremony where everyone, be it Alpha or Omega comes with the hopes of finding their fated mate. My heart beats in excitement. I hope I find my mate tomorrow and I know he is going to love me and cherish me because we are meant to be for each other. Suddenly I don't feel hungry anymore as I rush out of the dinning room. I can't wait for tomorrow, I finally get to see my mate, chosen for me by the goddess. I suddenly have my strength back as I run out of the dinning room, delirious with excitement and anticipation for what tomorrow has in store for me.

**************************

Today is the day, I'm finally going to meet my mate. I glance around the field nervously, everyone of mating age is here. Though no one has approached me and I haven't sensed anything but I'm still searching, I know I will find him.

"Hey look, the useless Omega wants to find a mate" 

"I hope she doesn't find him."

"Nah, I hope she finds someone as useless as her."

"Oh I just hope the moon goddess does not curse me with someone like her"

"Yeah, me too"

These conversations were going on right in front of me but I pretended not to hear them, as long as I don't acknowledge them, they will get tired. I nervously pull on my dress, it was a blue dress that reached above my knees. This was the only good dress I had left. Oh where is he. Suddenly, my heart beats frantically, I can smell his scent like rain and flowers. Where is he? I spin rapidly in search of him. Then I see him, our eyes match together and I grin in delight.

"Mate!" I whisper.
