My Stepfather Is My Mate.

AND A SUCKER TOO.

I will struggle to swim because I couldn’t swim like my peers, begging them desperately to come to save me from drowning, that I didn’t want to die.

I kept crying and swallowing water and they kept laughing at me, having fun with themselves like it was nothing to them and no big deal to them and this wasn’t the first time they were doing this to me.

The last time they bullied me and locked me in a car with no ventilation, with flames around it, I nearly died and if it were not for the security of the school who was around on that day and hadn't gone home, no one would have known where to find me.

I sobbed loudly and could feel myself drowning.

They set the place in a blaze and mocked me because I couldn’t escape.

I drowned, choked on water and just before I was about to black out, someone named Garold saved my life as he carried me up in a bridal style out of the pool.

His clothes soaked him to the skin, and another dude named Stefan beat up the guys who were bullying me to a pulp.

I coughed terribly as Garold gently dropped me on the floor, pulled off his jacket, and wrapped it over me.

‘Are you okay?’ he gently asked me and I sniffed, realizing he was an Alpha.

I shifted away from him in fear of him also bullying me, since he must have noticed I was an Omega.

“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you,” he calmly said and stretched out his hand. “Let me help you. I mean no harm.” I hung back for a bit, and then he helped me up to my feet.

“Are you okay?” Another one uttered warmly and the minute I gazed at the alpha, whose name was Stefan, warmed my soul.

This was how I met Stefan and Garold, who saved me from those bullies and became what I never expected of them.

I nodded and faced Garold with a smile. “Thank you so much for saving me. I sincerely appreciate it and can I get your number?” I hopefully asked with nervousness.

He frowned. “Are you asking me out because I just saved your life?”

I shook my head with my hands in surprise. “No, I just want to give you a present. That’s how it’s done in our clan. Once someone helps us, we give out something in return.” I carefully explained to him, but truth be told, I wanted to see him again, exceptionally Stefan.

“You are from a weak pack, aren’t you?”

“Hey Garold, stop being mean. She’s only thanking you.”

“I was just stating the facts, asking an obvious question. What’s wrong with that?”

‘That’s no way to be considerate, be nice,’ Stefan scolded him.

Instead of feeling bad, I find it amusing at their conversations. I can’t get infuriated with the Alpha, who saved my life because he just asked a question.

They were the best people in my life right now. They just pushed aside their arrogance and did what no alphas will ever do for me.

So, I should be grateful to them.

He rolled his eyes and turned to me. “Ok, fine, but just know one thing, you are quite ugly and I don’t like your face,” he blurted without consideration again.

SMACK!

“Ouch,” He winced, rubbing his hair, and snapped at Stefan. “What was that for?"

I laughed. He was cute.

Stefan chuckled along with me and faced me, holding my hands, and his hands were so courteous.

“Forget about that jerk. You are the most beautiful Omega I have ever seen.” He grinned cheerfully.

“Th—Thank you.” I uttered, flattered at his words.

No one has ever called me beautiful in my entire life.

He smiled and kissed my hands, raising it up to his lips.

He was quite a gentleman.

“Don’t worry, anytime you need my help, always come to me and don’t hesitate, okay?”

I beamed cheerfully. They were so adorable. I don’t know what I could have ever done without them.

They became my heroes, and they promised to help me out whenever I needed them.

I agreed to their request, and I never knew why or for what reason they intended to help a nobody like me, but I was excited.

As the days passed by, I hung out with them because I was all alone with no friends to hang out with, so, currently; they were only my friends now.

They were super nice to me, kind-hearted and jovial.

They would take me out along with them and buy me lots of goodies, which I hid away from my mom or else she would throw them and have me grounded.

Though, I felt guilty for concealing such a big secret from my parents, but I had no choice, they were good alphas and would never hurt me yet, my family wouldn’t understand me or who they truly are, since they’ve programmed it in their head that all Alphas are nothing but jerks.

However, Stefan and Garold are not like that to me.

I get so scared they will want something in return from me and be the bad guys, but I was so wrong about them; they weren’t like that; they were very free-spirited people and gave no damn about anyone.

Turns out we were nearly in the same classes in school, so that made it easier for us to meet all the time.

Even though they had powerful families, they made me so comfortable around them and not so guarded.

One day, they both invited me to a party for Stefan’s birthday.

I agreed to come and made sure not to tell my parents where I was going or else they would keep me locked up in my room, afraid I would go into heat and use my scent to seduce the alphas out there.

I am Ramona Lupe from the White Paper Pack. Though my pack is weak. We still had dignity and strength to defend ourselves.

So, like a thief, I sneaked out of our little house and went to the party. I knew I was an ten-year-old girl, but it wouldn’t hurt, would it?

It’s just a birthday party for anyone too, for everyone. No need to be cautious of restrictions of whether I’m of age to be there or not.

On a cool nighttime, I sauntered in the grass along the neighborhood.

I wore my fluffy white slippers, in a simple yellow gown that was a little above my knee, and my decorated blonde hair was with a few ribbons and tied in a ponytail, my amber eyes seen with a lot of excitement, my pink lips by too much sucking and biting on it while I am asleep.

Gosh, I was such a kid, a sucker.

I had such a cute round face, Stefan always said I was such a beauty with my white flawless skin. Though I was slim, I was still attractive and, as a kid, I sort of loved the interest he had in me.

Well, the bright lights and the soft music caught my attention in some mansion.
