Her Second Chance.

Chapter 3/ Horrible pain and suffering...

    Scream was all I could do this was excruciating. I tried to focus and not let the pain get to me, but it was too much. It took four long hours for my shift to be complete. My parents looked on in horror as this could not be a good sign.

    When I was done shifting my large white wolf Lola was laying on the ground barely able to hold her head up. Ronan walked over and asked me to look into his eyes.

    “Wow your eyes are purple. Now stand and show me your strength.” Ronan commanded.

    Lola started to stand but falls right back down on the ground. Ronan growled.

    “I’m disappointed. I expected more from my Delta’s daughter.” He starts to walk away. “She will be an Omega. Come to my office Saturday morning to get your assignment.” He says as he continues to walk away.

    Beta Grayson follows behind him shaking his head in disappointment. My dad just looks at the ground. Mom is crying and saying this can’t be. She walks over and says to shift back. My dad turns his back so I can shift back and put my dress on.

    My shift back was so fast I barely had time to register it. My mom helped me dress and then my dad carried me all the way home. I cried the whole way home. When we got home, mom told dad to take me to my room and put me in bed. I laid there for the rest of the night crying and listening to my mom cry to my dad.

    “You know what happens to unmated female omega’s?” mom cries to my dad.

    “That won’t happen to her. I won’t allow it.” My dad responds. “Maybe her mate will come around soon.” 

    In all the craziness from the day I didn’t get to tell my parents that I had found my mate. I hope he will still want me now that I’m a worthless omega. I cry myself to sleep.  

Unknown POV

    Well, that went way better than I had planned. Weakening her wolf was pretty easy. I assumed as strong as she was supposed to be, her wolf would be a little weak, but I almost killed her. Oops I laugh to myself.

    Ronan has always had a little thing for sweet little Graci. So, when Delta Ben came and told Alpha Ronan, Graci had gotten her wolf already, I knew she’d be strong. So, I had my half-sister Sharia make me a position to weaken her wolf.

    I thought when my dad left my mom when I was two for the witch… a literal witch that it would be awful. But then they had my sister, and she became my unknowing best asset. She got mostly witch genes. She doesn’t have a wolf, but she does have our strength and speed when we are in our human form.

    When I told her to make me the potion, she didn’t ask questions she assumed it was for Ronan. She hates him for how he treats me. I could never hate him. I thought I might actually be his one day. His wife died all those years ago. But now I know I’ll always just be his little secret. I’m ok with that.

    My sister isn’t so hence why she must have thought I was weakening him. I’m sure that now that he’s seen how weak Graci is; he will stop treating her like she’s so special. He’ll probably make her part of the kitchen staff. That’s where most of the weakest wolves are. We will see on Saturday morning I laugh to myself.

Graci POV

    I skipped school for the next two days. I didn’t leave my room once. I locked the door to keep my parents out. I know they will always love me, but I couldn’t face their hurt. I know they were not expecting this to happen and I just can’t face them.

    Mom comes to the door at breakfast lunch and dinner, but I can’t find it in me to open the door. Lola let out a painful howl when I shifted back, and she has not spoken since. I think she is really hurt. I don’t know what happened. She was so strong. I just knew we would be something amazing, but then that happened.

    I don’t understand any of this. Now here I am getting dressed to go meet the Alpha and find out where he has put me. I feel scared about all of this, but I have to put on a brave face for my parents. I have to be an adult now and except life as it is. I look in the mirror, I put on my nicest jeans, a red camisole with a sheer white button up top.

    I pulled my long blonde hair into a big messy bun. I hope this works. I try to and ask Lola if she is ok for the millionth time. No answer, I’m really worried about her. I open my door and take a deep breath and head to the kitchen.

    I walk in and mom is at the counter making breakfast and coffee. She turns with so much love in her eyes.

    “Hey honey! How are you?” She asks.

    “I’m fine mom. Look I know you want to ask, but please don’t. I don’t know what happened. Lola has now gone silent. And I’m going to be fine being an Omega. I found my mate on my birthday.”

    I notice as I’m talking her face is slowly falling, but at the mention of my mate she perks back up.

    “He is a younger than me, so he doesn’t know yet.”

    “Is it the boy you were dancing with on your birthday? Kieran is his name, right?” she asks with a huge smile.

     “Yes, mom that’s him and yeah that’s his name.”

     “YAY!” She says as she does a happy dance all the way to me and hugs me tightly.

     “Oh, sweety I saw the way you looked at him. I just knew he was the one. Oh, and he is sure a handsome boy.” She says with happy tears streaming down her face. “At least something good happened for you on your birthday. I love you Graci. Good luck today."

    “I will be fine. Alpha Ronan has always been really kind to me. I hope he continues even tho I’m an omega.”

    “I’m sure he will go easy on you. He’s always seemed to have a soft spot in his heart for you. I think at first he thought you’d be his son’s mate.” She says. I shrug.

    “Maybe mom. But I will be fine either way. I can handle it. I’m stronger than I looked that night.”

We sit and eat breakfast together. I haven’t eaten anything in two days, so I don’t eat much. I don’t want to make myself sick. When I’m done, I hug mom and tell her I love her and to tell dad everything and that I love him too. Then I head out to the pack house.

     I walk in the front door of the pack house and head straight for Alpha’s office. I walk up two flights of stairs. At the top floor landing there is a door. I buzz the keypad.

    “Come on in Gracilyn. When the door opens my Omega will bring you to my office.” Alpha Ronan booms through the speaker.

    The door opens and I see a redheaded omega dressed in a sheer shirt like mine with just a black bra underneath and a black mini shirt that is so short, I’m certain if she bent over right now, you’d be able to see everything her momma gave her. She introduces herself as Bethany. Her green eyes look into my eyes so deep it was like she could see all my secrets. She was tall and slim built. 

    Bethany leads me to the right and down the long hallway to his office. I swear I’m getting more and more nervous with every step. I don’t know why. The hallway seems to be the longest hallway EVER. I reach the door and I can see him sitting behind his desk, Bethany knocks on the open door and walks away.

    “Come in.” Alpha says as he looks up with a smile. “Come have a seat” He says as he waves his hand to the chairs in front of his desk.

    I walk in and sit. I’m more nervous now that I’m here. His office is nicely decorated. Very rugged and manly themed room.

    “Good morning Gracilyn. I hope you are doing well.” Alpha Ronan says.

    “Good morning Alpha Ronan. You can call me Graci. Please.”

     Alpha laughs “Ok Graci it is.” I smile and relax a little.

    “So Graci I have a few questions that I will need you to answer to help me place you.” He says.

    “Ok Alpha shot.” I smile back making a dorky gun gesture with my hands.

    I roll my eyes at myself internally. I’m so dumb sometimes. After a little snicker Alpha Ronan started asking questions about me and what I liked to do for fun.

    “And finally, most importantly, do you have a mate?” He asks.

    To be honest the question threw me off, but then I remembered what happens with unmated female omegas, I realized why he was asking.

    “Yes, Alpha I found out who my mate was on my birthday. It’s Kieran Green. Future Beta Kevin’s little brother.” I say hanging my head because my tears are making their way to the surface.

    “Why do you seem sad about this Graci? That’s great you found your mate, right?” He asks.

    “Because I’m scared he won’t want me after he finds out that I’m an omega. I was supposed to be a warrior. I know I was.” I say crying into my hands.

    Alpha Ronan gets up and walks around his desk and kneels down and lifts my face to meet his. “Listen pretty girl, don’t cry. He would be crazy not to want you. I’m going to step out of the room for a moment and I will be back with your assignment. Ok?” He replies. With that he gets up sand leaves the room.
