JARED'S ESTRANGED MATE(book two chronicles of Her Grace)

CHAPTER 10 * Not the End of the world*

    I hurried up with my last chore in the pack house, which was for me to sweep and clean the entire tenth floor before heading over to pick up Trash from the playground and to clean the Basement of the playground building as well. 

I rarely have to work this much during weekdays but unfortunately for me Jason had somehow implicated me and I got loads of chores to do by the head of omegas and I couldn't complain really because I would rather do this than have to face Alpha Nicholas, I've seen him lashing out frequently and trust me it isn't a good sight to behold. 

        I moved my muscles tiredly, craning my neck as I heave a sigh of absolute relief, closing the door to the last room on the tenth floor.

 Already aware of the fact that my relief wouldn't last long because I still have two more places to touch. I

     I haven't seen Brandon for some days, although he promised to be there when I shift for the first time to help me through it, yet I wasn't looking forward to it. 

i want to trust him really but a part of me keeps pushing against doing that, and who says he would show up if he hasn't for 4 days and tomorrow is my birthday and I'm bound to transform into my wolf form by 12 am yet my supposed friend who promised to guide me through is nowhere, not like I can go look for him at home, anyway.

I didn't need to be told to know his parents wouldn't appreciate their son hanging out with me. They give him enough s**t for being friends with Allison if they know he hangs out with me. All hell will break loose.  

     So I know going home to look for him is a no no. I hop along the path to the playground kicking on stones and twigs as I tried occupying my mind with Random thoughts and not worry about Brandon, i raise my head up at the sound twig snapping from a distance to see the infamous Allison walking towards my direction the hood of her cloth covering almost her entire face.

Seeing her a tad bit distance away from me, a thought crossed my mind, but I brushed it off, shaking my head repeatedly in disapproval from my view I could see Allison tilting her head to the side probably wondering what the hell was wrong with me. 

         I stopped the action, turning my head the other way as she walked by, paying me no attention, swallowing my stupid Pride as I stopped in my tracks for a moment.  

             " Uhh Allison" 

I called out her name awkwardly. She stopped in her tracks, turning to give me a blank look as she gestured to herself in confirmation if he really called her name. Taking deep breaths i walk up to her suddenly feeling intimidated under her gaze. 

               " I, err, I just wanted to ask if you've seen Brandon around." 

I ask, looking everywhere but at her blank, soulless gaze. She tilted her head sideways as if contemplating on answering me or waking away after a while she opened her mouth to speak and her voice God, her voice so pure and gentle yet it sounded strained. 

             " Why do you ask?" 

she says, and I mentally slapped myself. 

  " I was told to deliver something to him and I haven't seen him for about 4 days and I uh can't go to their house well Because...... anyway I just want to know if you've seen him around since you're close to him and all that," 

I say, trying hard not to break my voice in between. She eyed me for some seconds before sighing. 

          " I know you're lying but I haven't seen him at all today but I saw him yesterday for a brief period he was in haste and I think it is his parents. I don't know if that helps your curiosity."

 she answers Turning on her heels immediately without even waiting for my reply as she walked away from presence and I just stood dumbstruck staring at her retreating figure, my mind trying to figure out how she knew I had lied to her just now.  

         Shaking off the creepy feeling i hastened my footstep as I hurried out the bushy part, getting to the play ground i tried as much as possible to fasten my working pace so I can be through on time and head back to the pack house before it gets too dark. Half way through picking up the dirts on the floor.

 I felt a painful jab to my chest, causing me to fall on my knees from the sudden impact. Supporting myself with my right on the ground, I use my left hand to massage soothing circles on my chest, groaning slightly at the pain.   

 Seconds later thinking it was over I tried standing up, but the moment I tried straightening my leg I felt another painful jab this time more painful than the previous one and I crashed to the ground Screaming out in pain, my eyes brimmed with tears at the intense amount of pain I felt at the moment, I remained in the position hoping the pain to go away so I could go back to working my duties.  

   My finger nails burned and I grab at the dirt I couldn't hold on to it any longer as my finger snapped suddenly same time as I felt my spine snap and I cried out in pain, I panted helpless as my hands mangled and I watch terrified as the skin on my finger and hands peel away like a banana and they replaced it with hairy paws with dangerous claws; I breathe out in heavy parts as a huge migraine hit my head, and I tried crawling to somewhere safe. 

It wasn't even time yet and I couldn't wrap my head around why I had to shape shift an hour before my official birthday; the pain subsided a bit, and I tried standing up in hopes to drag myself back to the pack house or the woods. 

    Soon as I made the attempt of standing on my feet, my feet wobbled I tried holding my ground but it seem futile and i knew I was coming face flat on the ground until I felt a hand wrapped around me hoisting me up, and the warm scent of Brandon engulfed me and I didn't even know when I sighed in relief. 

 Another wave of pain hit my waist, snapping it almost in half, and I screamed immensely, digging my claws into Brandon's shoulder. 

     " I got you, I got you. Hold on to me," 

Brandon says throwing my hand over his shoulder as he helps me down to the basement of the play ground building. He sits me up, making sure he rests my back against the wooden frame of the walls as he helps takes off my clothes. 

I groan and pant out in pain as I felt hair sprouting out of my body and soon my bones to begins pop one after the other; I knew the real deal was about to begin. 

    I watch Brandon in low puffs as he undresses out of his clothes, crouching down on all fours in front of me, motioning for me to mirror his action, which I did slowly and painfully. 

As each bone in my body Snapped and pops back in place Brandon slowly together with me started transforming into his own wolf, and I can imagine how painful it was for him, although he tried but he couldn't slow down his transformation pace and soon he transformed into his wolf. 

              My ankle bone snapped, and I howled out in pain, Brandon wolf rush to my side, licking at my angle that had now sprouted furs and grow into paws, after about an hour of screaming and howling bones breaking and snapping back in place.

With Brandon scenting and licking every part of my body, I finally transformed into my wolf, compared to Brandon my wolf was a lot smaller and the difference in scent I knew I had transformed into and omega wolf and I couldn't help the pity full whine that left my mouth, of all things I didn't want to turn out to be An omega.  

   My life is pathetic enough as it being an orphan, turning out to be an omega just worsens it, my mind went to Jason and his crew they would sure as hell give me hell for all the things I've said to them, and school, i have to stop schooling. Omegas do not have the privilege to continue schooling in our pack. I couldn't but whine pathetically as I watched my life coming to a total standstill just from a simple transformation. 

         Brandon must have sense my distress, because he walks up to me and licks behind my hair and i just cast my head down in shame, I crouched down hiding my head in between my paws and I felt Brandon's wolf do the same, even as my wolf tried communicating with I couldn't do it so I blocked him off completely refusing to say anything, I just couldn't, this is what I wanted. 

   I felt Brandon stand up and I hear bones popping with a satisfying groan; I hear him shuffle around for his clothes before coming, nudging me, and I raised my head up to look at him.  

     " You should be able to shift back to your human form, take put on your clothes," 

He says, placing it in front of me before turning away. I shift back to my human form with much difficulty. After putting on my clothes, I slumped down on the floor with a defeated sigh and Brandon comes to sit beside me. 

              " I'm guessing this isn't what you wish for, but you........................."           

  " Don't, please don't," 

I say, cutting him off, trying so hard to hold back my tears. 

           " you are going to tell me being an omega is not the end of the world, just don't because for me it is virtually the end of the World. I can't ever go back to school, my life just practically ended in a blink of an eye, I won't ever be able to leave this pack because I won't be able to defend myself out there as a rogue omega wolf, I would forever be here scrubbing the floor of the pack house and having to deal with every s**t Jason and his crew throws at me and I won't be able to do anything about it because of my pathetic form." 

I say, turning to him, my tears already streaming down at their own pace.  

   I wipe at my eyes furiously in anger at how pathetic it was for me to cry over such a little thing, even though it wasn't so little. 

 " You know I really wished and hoped for being a delta wolf, so I could study hard and graduate with good grades, train day and night and when I graduate I hoped to get admission into college in a different study so I can finally study Criminology and sociology, then when I graduate I can finally go search for my biological parents, I had it all mapped out, how I wanted it to be, finally I wanted to have the future i wanted for myself, but now... now everything is being blown to the wind, I have nothing left to hope on or look forward to anymore, my life it's gone down the drain and it's so pathetic that I can't do anything about it,"        

    I said closing my eyes as I wept silently, Brandon shifts closer to me to placing my head on his shoulders as he pats my hair gently, and I wept silently in the crook of his neck. 

      "You told me not to say it but I have to Jared, being an omega isn't the end of the world for you unless you want it to be, yeah I know all the Impossibilities that comes along with it but that shouldn't stop you from trying to pursue what you want, it shouldn't stop you. I'm not trying to make comparisons but see Allison your situation is much better than her's. hear me out before you refute, she doesn't have a wolf yet i have seen no one as determined as she is. She trains day and night every to build her strength you are the second person to know about this aside me. And I tell you she takes me on like it's no big deal yet she has no wolf for super strength and I'm sure if put to spar with Jason she would beat him to a pulp, why I'm saying this is to boost your confidence really being an omega doesn't mean you cannot train to gain strength. I can finally be more useful to you as a friend."   

      Brandon says I and raises up my head from his shoulder to look at him as I wipe my tears. 

 " From the little time I've spent with you, i know you are not weak. I can help you train. You might not be strong enough to take on an Alpha but could surely defend yourself. Think about when it would be more convenient for you. I will help you train the way the pack hunters and warriors are being trained.. as for school. I can help with that. I still have notes and textbook from my previous grade which you are currently in, I can help you study every day after school when you are less busy, anything you don't know i can help with that also and we see where it leads, just know that you have me and you don't have to think your life is on standstill,"  

   Brandon says, smiling. I couldn't have been more grateful to him, but it felt surreal. Everything he said felt surreal. 

         " I appreciate really that you will do all this for me, but you seem to forget something, do you think the pack would approve you doing any of this, if they found out, the consequences would be bad and your parents you say they don't approve of your friendship with Allison what makes you think they wouldn't go bar s**t crazy if they found about us being friends," 

           I questioned. 

" That's why we won't let them find out about our friendship or anything. We just have to meet up in a place any place any pack member would least be, like here the basement, no one comes here not even the pups, we can make this place our lair, we meet here train here and you study here, you come to clean the playground every day, I can come and clean before you then when you are through with chores in the pack house you can come over," 

Brandon replies. it sounds like a good idea, but Jason, that fucker is watching me closely and I am sure he will get to know, eventually. 

         " it's too risky. What if I'm needed in the pack house and someone traces my sent down here, that is bad really," 

i say shaking my head trying not to let him on the fact that Jason is on my back. 

           " eazy peazy, don't worry I will give you something that would help mask your scent so no one could trace you down here." 

he says, and I contemplated on it before nodding my head in understanding. 

           "do you want to leave now," 

   he asks, and I shake my head, showing no. 

" Can we stay like this for a while your scent is calming,," 

I reply, leaning my head on his shoulder. 

" That proves that I'm an angel.. Ah I almost forgot, I brought you cake and ice cream, the ice cream might have melted but I'm sure the cake would still be good, I dropped it on the bench when I brought you down here," 

Brandon says excusing himself as he ran out the door of the basement to get the cake from outside. Hopefully, he meets it there. 

            I close my eyes as lean my head against the wall, trying so hard not to think about what tomorrow would hold when they finally realize I'm an omega in the pack house. i just hope i get ignored as usual.
