Daisy
From day one, my life was nothing but a string of bad luck. I was born an Omega while my parents were the Betas of the pack. My birth nearly killed my mother so I was unloved immediately. I was the smallest and weakest pup as well. Honestly, I'm surprised I survived since my parents hate me so much. I've been neglected all my life. Always pushed aside for the beautiful, perfect, and well-loved Dahlia. Who would love a useless and plain daisy when they could have a beautiful and sweet dahlia? My twin sister is a strong and skillful wolf who shifted at the same pace as the previous Alpha's son at merely the age of eight. She looks like a part of our family with long honey-blonde, bright blue eyes, and nice sun-kissed skin. She always excels in hunting, and fighting, and everyone adores her. She is who everyone assumes will be our next Luna. Compared to her, I don't fit in at all. With my gray-white hair, dull purple eyes, and pale as a sheet skin, I'm nothing but plain and ugly. I can't stand being in the sun too long because I burn easily and it just hurts my eyes. I don't excel in anything other than cooking and cleaning too. I'm the lowest of the low and the joke of the whole pack. Even I'm aware of this and can only bite my tongue and bear it. Because of my rank, I'm everyone's punching bag, both literally and figuratively. I'm bullied without any mercy and even if I'm sick, I still have to work or I'll be punished. It wasn't always this way. Before the Alpha's son took over, I was treated better. The former Alpha and Luna were kind and never tolerated bullying on their watch. However, now it's just so much worse because we have a new alpha now: Tristian Parker. He's our new Alpha and also happens to be Dahlia's boyfriend. He is very handsome with dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and tanned skin rippling with muscles. I used to have a crush on him but it's faded into the background. He hates weakness more than anything which means he despises me. He doesn't strike me down himself. That's beneath him or rather that's what I assume. He's seen others beat me but does nothing but watch until they're finished. While I pick myself up, he finally speaks and it's always the same thing. "Heh... Daisy, the useless Omega. Disgusting and weak as always. Maybe if you weren't so pathetic, I'd stop them." He then always leaves me while I just sit there. I've heard it so many times now that it doesn't bother me much anymore. It still hurts that even my own Alpha won't even help me. In a way, he's worse than the bullies. I've learned to expect nothing from him and just endure. Lick and tend my wounds until the day I can finally leave this pack. I only cling to one hope: my mate. In just a few days, I'll turn eighteen and with any luck, not only find my mate but also meet my wolf. I haven't been able to shift or hear her voice so I hope when I'm finally an adult, I can have those joys in life. What do I want in a mate? He doesn't have to be powerful or high-ranking. All I want from my mate is his love and acceptance of me. I may be Daisy the Useless Omega, but no I deserve love too! Don't I? It's the one thing that keeps me going. My longing for my mate and the acceptance and freedom from it. I hope it's a wolf from another pack so I can leave the Moonlight pack. That way I won't ever have to be compared to my perfect twin sister. Dahlia used to be kind to me growing up. She was my only friend and my other half. However, she started to show her true colors after she shifted for the first time. Everyone saw her as special and amazing, but I was there to bring her down. Now Dahlia is my biggest bully. She won't get her hands dirty often and has the other pack members hit me, pour cold water all over me, and lock me in the basement. Everyone treats her as the future Luna already. If she isn't Tristian's mate, then I'm sure they'll be each other's chosen mates. Tristian is already twenty-one but hasn't found his mate yet either. He can't take Dahlia as his chosen mate until she's eighteen so everyone waits while holding their breaths. Because they're both so mean anyway, I think they suit each other well. I hope they don't bring down the pack though. "Daisy! Stop spacing out and finish up!" I jump getting pulled out of my thoughts. A fellow Omega and my best friend, Samuel, watches me in concern. "Be careful... if anyone sees you like that, they'll punish you." He murmurs and starts to help me out. Samuel is like a little brother to me. He's sixteen and has orange hair, green eyes, and so many freckles. He's a sweet boy and someone I can lean on when things get way too hard. "I'm sorry, Sammy. I'm just thinking of what might happen three days from now." I say and start to fold clothes again. Samuel smiles gently. "I'm sure you are... I hope that you'll find happiness. You do deserve it, Day. After everything you've gone through, you need a loving mate. He's the only person who knows about my desires. As I hang up a pretty dress, I long or wear something nice like this. All I ever have to wear is a pair of sweatpants and a baggy hoodie. "Thank you," I murmur and continue to fold and hang up clothes with Samuel. It's just then that I hear a door swing open and hear some footsteps. "Where are you, bitch?!" I freeze at that voice. What does Dahlia want from me this time?Daisy I turn around as my twin sister storms into the room. Her blue eyes are dark and she looks ticked off. Dread rushes through me and I take a step back. "Get over here, little bitch!" Dahlia snarls and walks up to me grabbing my arm. I flinch as her grip is hard and her nails big through my hoodie sleeves. "B-Beta Dahlia!" Samuel stammers and puts his hands up. "Daisy's been here the whole time! I can vouch for her." Samuel is always trying to defuse the situation, but it always has the opposite effect on Dahlia. "Oh, shut up! And that's future Luna to you, Omega trash." She snaps. I then find myself getting dragged away and I shoot Samuel a hard look. Nothing good will come from him following us. I don't want him to get in trouble either. She takes me into a bathroom and locks the door. "Listen here, useless scum." She shoves me hard against the wall. "My birthday will be this Saturday and Tristian is holding a birthday celebration for me. Don't EVEN think about crashing
Daisy For the next few days, everyone is getting ready for a big birthday celebration for Dahlia. Only a few fellow Omegas look at me with pity as they know I'm her twin sister, but I don't let it get to me. I'm looking forward to finally being free from this mundane life of mine. The only way that can happen is by finding my mate. I'm a mix of nerves and excitement. I can't wait to meet him! Most of all though, I can't wait to meet my wolf. If I have one, tomorrow will be my last day to meet her. What will she be like? Will she be small and meek like me? Or strong and bold unlike me? I want to find out her name most of all. I just hope she likes me and won't be disappointed in me. For now, I'm helping the other omegas bake the massive cake. With so many pack members, a big cake is necessary but isn't this a bit too much? It has six tiers and the decorations... it looks more like a celebration for... Ah! Alpha Tristian must believe Dahlia truly is his mate so it's going to
DaisyI start to stir and curl up as my whole body aches. The beating I got from Grayson and his goons took a toll on my already tired body. I wouldn't be surprised if it was well past sunrise.'Wake up, Daisy.' A calm voice makes me shoot up. I look around frantically and then frown. No one's in my room. Did I imagine that voice?'It's ok, sweetheart.' That voice soothes me but I only hold myself tightly. 'Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.'"W-who's there?" I stammer out and look around still. Is someone playing a trick on her? 'My name is Naomi. I'm your wolf.' That makes me pause and blink several times. My wolf? I have one? My heart starts to pound in my chest."A-are you really my wolf?" I ask hopefully. "I-I've always wanted one... so that I wouldn't be seen as completely useless." I look down. I feel like I'm talking to myself.'You're far from useless, Daisy. You're a very special wolf. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.' Her voice is so soothing yet strong. 'We have a ver
DaisyI run for a long time and don't hear anyone following me luckily. I stumble and roll down a hill curling up to protect myself. I feel like screaming or crying, I'm not sure which but I know what's going to happen.'Daisy, what's wrong? Why did you run away from our mate?' Naomi asks worriedly. I guess since she just came to me, she doesn't know how Tristian treats me."It won't work... he's Dahlia's boyfriend... and the alpha! He won't ever..." I shake my head and hold myself. "He's going to reject me. There's nothing else to it."I close my eyes tightly and try not to cry. What kind of sick joke is this? Why would the Moon Goddess choose him as my mate? Was everyone right? Am I just meant to be punished for someone I couldn't even control as a baby?I hear leaves crunching and freezing as that fresh scent reaches my nose. 'Mate! Give him a chance, Daisy!' I can picture her wagging her tail in delight. Too bad she's going to be thoroughly disappointed.I stand up to run again bu
Tristian This day hasn't gone as planned at all. It was just another day, sure, but my love could finally find her mate. I was hoping it was me but my wolf, Silas, didn't respond. I know he loves Sunny, Dahlia's wolf, but she isn't our mate. Then everything started to go wrong. First, I did find my mate. It should have been a wonderful and amazing experience. Instead, it was a nightmare. I locked eyes with her and immediately knew it was Daisy, the useless Omega in our pack. Silas momentarily was blinded by the joy but even he knew she wasn't going to be a strong Luna for our pack. Second, I rejected her. It was obvious to me and I did it heartlessly. I never felt sorry for her as weakness in our pack needed to be weeded out. I knew it could have killed her but so be it. Then she accepted it. The pain I felt in my chest was agonizing and I realized what I just put her through. Third, I looked back afterward. Seeing Daisy faint made my heart ache and I caught her. Once she was s
Daisy So my twin sister is the Luna of the pack now. If we were close, I would be overjoyed for her. If he wasn't my mate... if he didn't reject me for her... if she didn't hate my guts... if my life wasn't getting worse... I'd be so happy for her. Instead, I'm getting bullied so much more because I'm just a disgrace. I'm also dealing with the worst feelings and pains ever. That night he left me after threatening me, I felt everything that was going on. The pain I felt was terrible and I didn't know what it was. Naomi explained to me later that it was because Tristian was mating with another. 'Even if the rejection broke the bond, I didn't reject Silas and he didn't reject me so part of it is still there.' Naomi explained. 'It will fade with time but for now, it will hurt. I'm so sorry, Daisy.' Her presence seems weaker now but I'm happy I didn't lose my wolf because of the rejection. She told me not to try and shift yet because it wasn't time. When will it be time then? Back
TristianHow did I get here? One moment, I'm outside helping with training our young wolves and now I'm inside the pack doctor, Jim's, house looking down at Daisy. When an Omega named Samuel rushed out to us, I felt annoyed. What was someone like him even doing out here? "What is an Omega doing out here huh?" My Gamma Grayson snickers as do the younger wolves.Then his words cut deep into my heart. "Help me, please! Omega Daisy was attacked and she's bleeding from her head! She won't wake up!" My feet moved before I could even say anything. "Lead the way," I said immediately and Samuel ran off ahead of me so I could follow. Samuel took me to the kitchen and horror hit me when I saw Daisy on the ground. Using our pack mind-link, I barked orders to Jim to get ready while I carefully picked Daisy up. She was light as a feather, shockingly so.I rushed her over to Jim's house and placed her down after Jim ordered me to do so. I stood back and watched as he tended to her wounds. Samuel
Daisy"Why are you lying?" I open my eyes and look over to Tristian in confusion. Lying? "Dahlia would never do something like this. Are you being petty now? Well, it isn't going to work!" He lets me go and steps back. Perry? Why would I be petty?"I-I'm not lying...!" I stammer before cowering under his harsh glare. What did I do?! "W-why would I lie? Petty? I've stayed away all this time... why would I...?"He doesn't let me finish. "Why else? You want to ruin her reputation." Wait what? Why would I ever want that? "Stay away from us. If I hear that you're trying to frame Dahlia again, I'll throw you into the dungeons and throw away the key."My body goes cold and I start to tremble. Why is he doing this? I have never lied once in my life unless I was taking up for Dahlia when we were younger. Does he think that lowly of me?"A-alpha! W-why...?" Tears burn in the corners of my eyes. "W-why... won't you believe me...?""You probably did this to yourself," As he dismisses my feelings,
Silas The wild winds of the rogue forest lure me in. I hear the call and can't ignore it. With each step, sharp jolts of pain run through my paws, up my legs, and deep inside my head—yet I keep running. The deeper I go, the less it hurts. Who wouldn't listen? Who wouldn't seize the chance to escape the pain? 'Silas... stop running!' A faint yet familiar voice calls after me. Fearing more vengeful wolves, I speed up even as the pain blinds me. Even though it's fading, it's still excruciating. 'Silas!' The voice calls again, but I don't look back. However, it's only getting louder, fast approaching. Feeling cornered, I spin around and snarl. She stands before me, panting faintly. 'Silas...' she lowers her head and wags her tail gently. As she slowly approaches, I growl, baring my teeth. If I have to, I will use them! However, she stops right in front of me and tilts her head to the side. 'It's okay... you're safe with me. Let me help you... just like before.' Her scent hits me, and
Tristian I stir and let out a small whine suddenly aware of all the pain I'm in. My head is pounding painfully and my flank burns wet with something. As I lift my head to look, wet and dried blood cakes my fur. What's going on? What happened? "Oh, so you're finally awake, Trisy." I tense hearing Penny's voice and snap my head over towards the sound. Penny sits in the shadows her green eyes gleaming wildly. "It's about time... of course, pack wolves are such whiny weaklings after all." She purrs softly. 'Penelope...' I start but Penny only smiles slowly and stands up. She stalks towards me as if I'm nothing more than a piece of prey. 'I'm no longer a pack wolf... I...' Penny stops in front of me and giggles softly. "You honestly don't think I know what's been going on?" She asks innocently and kneels to my level. "You're nothing more than a useless rogue. The lowest of the low, even worse than the Omegas you loved to insult with your bratty love interest. You need to learn your pla
Leah "Oh, I didn't know that you knew Tristian as a child," Carmen says as we sit around a fire taking me out of my memories. The smell of fish slow roasting makes my stomach rumble. "You acted as if he was a stranger before so I didn't even think..." "It's alright." I shake my head. "He gave me strength at that point and I even stood up against Talia because of him. He was nice at that point... stayed with me all that time and his friend Penny kept me company until I had to leave for Royal Pack." Remembering the kind sweetheart I met just over twenty years ago is bittersweet for me. I long put that version of Tristian behind me but then suddenly he came back out of nowhere. Who knew he'd become my mate after all... especially when someone like me became his second-chance mate? Carmen frowns. "I never went to those meetings until I was much older... same with Xander too. We were away training by then. We didn't even meet until much later when you were officially old enough for th
Tristian ~Age 11~ By the time we make it to the meeting site, I've already pushed Dahlia's glare out of my mind. What can she do anyway? She's just being a brat like Penny says and wants to have her way regardless if she's in the right or not. Makes the pity Penny feels for her twin sister make more sense. "Come on, Trisy!" Penny nudges my side bringing me out of my thoughts. "You look so weird when you're serious! It doesn't suit you at all!" I pout and glare at her making her giggle. "Let's go and explore!" She grabs my arm and drags me away. Shouldn't I stay with father? I look back and see him watching us with nothing more than amusement. I relax because of it and look forward again. Maybe I'll be able to have fun during this pack meet-up after all. "So who do you wanna meet?" Penny asks curiously. "Only meeting other future Alphas sounds boring to me! Knowing many other wolves can be helpful in the future!" She adds cheerfully. "Alliances, battles, friendships, enemies... so
Tristian I didn't for how long but I didn't stop running the day I left Leah behind. It was only when I crashed from exhaustion long past moon high that was I able to stop. Had it been hours? More than one day even? I had no idea but when I woke up, I was surrounded by unfamiliar trees and strange scents. It finally hit me right then and there: I was a rogue. No longer did I have the protection and comfort of a pack. I was completely alone and had to survive while being at the mercy of everyone living in this uncharted territory. At least Moonlight Pack's old territory belonged to the Alpha King otherwise it too would become just another piece of land for the rogues to take over. After this, I wandered for a long time constantly moving in fear of encountering a powerful wolf. I didn't recognize any scents and always wondered what happened to my former pack member. Were they wandering like me? Did another pack accept them? I knew I surely wasn't welcome in any pack. Rogues were ev
Leah ~Age 8~ "What's wrong with her?!" Mother's angry voice makes my ears hurt when I open my eyes. Wasn't I just with the little ones? "Why did she pass out after touching Liam? Why won't either of them wake up? What did she do to my son?!" Then it comes back to me. Liam was hurt! I shoot up quickly before groaning as the world spins around me. Suddenly a pair of hands grabs me by my shoulders and I'm face to face with Mother's wild eyes. "What did you do to Liam?!" "I-I didn't..." Mother shakes me and I groan as it rattles my brains. "I didn't... Eden said... t-to touch him..." I stammer out and wince as her grip gets stronger. "M-Mother... t-that hurts..." Mother pushes me away and I flop back onto the bed. "If he doesn't wake up, then you're going to pay! Who the hell is Eden, huh?!" I cower under her hate-filled gaze. I was never Mother's favorite but she's never acted this way towards me before. "M-my wolf..." I whisper making Mother frown. "S-she said that she could he
Leah ~Age 8~ All my life, I've been the mature one. Mother has always been strict with me so I learned how to fold laundry and wash dishes before I was five. Having fun is a luxury I can't afford to have either. Being born into a family of warriors means that 'fun' equals sparring and fighting with one another. I never liked it myself which meant I was the outcast of the family. It doesn't help that I remind people of a baby fawn either. I'm always chased by my older siblings as I'm seen as prey to them. I'm Leah the fawn, helpless, weak, and unable to fight. The bruises I gain only lead to looks of disappointment from Mother too. 'You'll find your purpose soon.' My wolf, Eden, assures me all the time. 'Don't push yourself too hard. Know your limitations, Leah. Don't live only to please others. Live for yourself.' Yeah, easier said than done! I met my wolf at age five and it was such an exciting day for me! I wanted to tell my parents, especially Mother, but after being brushed
Xander Standing out by the border at the end of night is always unnerving. Even for a powerful wolf like myself, there's always safety in numbers, but tonight, I have a reason to be waiting out here so late. If I didn't, I'd be lying next to my beautiful mate or holding our pup close while in a rocking chair. I clench my fists and take a deep breath. He'll be here soon. I have no idea what he wants after all the trouble he's caused but I can't ignore his message. As much as I'd rather wash my hands of him for good, I need to know if he's going to be a threat in the future. I must protect my pack before anything else. I look up at the sound of crunching leaves and undergrowth and narrow my eyes as the man with blood-red hair steps into view. "... There you are, Magnus. You had me wait for a long time." I mutter in a bitter tone. Magnus's lips curl into a small smile. "I apologize, little pup. I had to make sure my own was sound asleep and taken care of before I left her alone." He
Daisy The morning starts as any other. I wake up, wash my face, and brush my teeth before heading downstairs to make breakfast. I whip up some pancake batter and pull out some bacon and eggs for my family. While it would be easy just to eat at the pack cafeteria, I love cooking for my pups. I smile brightly as now I have to cook more than I used to. I hum softly to myself as I flip pancakes and think of life as it is now. Nothing could be better honestly. Sure, not everything is perfect but then nothing can truly be perfect. No one should desire a completely perfect life. One month after coming back home, everything has become routine. While some may say it's boring, I think it's wonderful after everything we've gone through. The peace is well deserved after the crazy war we were in. Those who deserved nothing but pain or suffering got what was coming to them. They're not worth thinking of either since we've won. I have no idea where Tristian Parker is now nor do I honestly care.
