Alpha's Rebirth Twisted Mate

Two weeks earlier. “Hurry up Becca, we are going to be late” I yelled at my best friend hoping that for once she would listen to me and actually be on time. I tapped my feet on the floor restlessly, something that I always do when I am nervous or anxious. Today is the biggest event of the year in the werewolf community, the royal pack ball. Once a year the royal pack holds a royal ball which every pack must attend as it is a way for packs to foster good relationships and also for unmated wolves to find their mates. For one night we get to eat, drink and dance the night away. There is also a hunt which occurs when the moon is full, where we surrender ourselves to our inner beasts but I don’t usually participate in that because unlike the others in my pack, the red moon pack, I can’t shift. “Hold your horses, you would think it is something important instead of a stupid ball” she grumbles, interrupting my thoughts. She is absolutely breathtaking. She has on a gorgeous strapless green gown and her thick blonde hair falls down her back in bouncy ringlets, her strappy heels peek from under her dress and her make up is done to perfection. She looks like a living, breathing siren. “You know, for someone who thinks the ball is stupid, you sure went all out on looking stunning…you look beautiful” “Just because I hate the damn thing, doesn’t mean that I will attend it looking like an ugly cow” she said, tilting her head looking me over but there is nothing to look at since I am in a maid’s uniform. “But thank you babe” she added. I know you are wondering why I am in a maid’s uniform, well the truth is apart from being a werewolf who couldn’t shift, I was also an omega, my entire family is but at least they can shift into wolves. One thing most human novels got right about werewolves is that omegas are the lowest of the lowest. We are at the bottom of the barrel and usually treated as servants and maids. Omegas had wolves well except me for that is, I was basically a human living with wolves, but their wolves were usually scrawny and weak. To be honest I always felt like Selene the moon goddess did a s**t job with her children. What was the need of making omegas so weak, subjugating them to a life of basically being slaves? And being treated as scum? I have lived the life of an omega since I was born and for me it was even worse since I had no wolf. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was sassy as hell and I never let anyone push me around I would be as miserable as most omegas. We did everything for the pack, we cooked, and cleaned, ran errands…you name it. I doubt the packs would run without us seeing as we do everything, well, except rule the pack. We were basically the backbone of the pack but we were treated worse than animals. There were a few people in our pack who loved and respected us but the majority treated us like s**t and I hated that because despite having weaker wolves and in my case having no wolf at all, we were still packmates, still people and deserved to be treated right. Even though today I would still be doing what other omegas did and that is to serve, we were still allowed to attend the ball later on after the feast. I was looking forward to that part mainly because I would spend it with my boyfriend Jason. He was the best anyone could ask for. “So when will you be free to join us?” she asked me drawing me away from my musings. “Probably at around ten, right after the feast…and we should hurry up or my mum is going to chew off my foot for being late” Becca just blows out a breath in annoyance. “Fine, but are you planning on wearing that ugly uniform…you have something else to wear right? I don’t want you embarrassing me” The look of horror that crosses her face at the prospect of that scenario is amusing. “Of course I do, god forbid I embarrass Rebecca Brown by wearing a shitty uniform to a ball she doesn’t even care about” I teased her a little bit. I do love Becca but damn, she can be really vain. “No need to be sarcastic you know” she grambled, something passing in her eyes, but before I can figure out what it is it’s gone. “Let’s just go, I am already late” I rolled my eyes then grabbed her and we headed towards the royal pack house. Once there we promise to meet later then go our separate ways. The ball has already begun and people have already filled out in the pack house. Most were wearing expensive gowns and suits which is a waste of time because by midnight they will be in shreds. Werewolves party hard and once our special liquor is in their systems they literally forget that they are part human, and just give in to their basic animal instincts. The parties can get rowdy and that is why anyone under sixteen is not allowed past ten. My mind was literally traumatized the first time I attended the after celebrations, and it still feels assaulted till today and it has been eight years. It’s not something you get used to seeing, you just became desensitized. I shake myself from those thoughts. Rushing through the big ass kitchen I almost collided with one of the omegas from a neighboring pack who was carrying a tray of drinks. I apologize to her then scan the room looking for my family. Seeing my sister Casey, I rush towards her. “Hey siz, sorry I am late…is mum too upset?” I worryingly give her a hug. My baby sister is literally the sweetest being you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. She is kind and gentle, caring and understanding, the total opposite of me. She goes to answer but mum’s voice interrupts her. “Yes, she is definitely really really upset, you know how important this is, you should have been here hours ago!” I turned to look at the woman standing before me with a with fumes coming out of her nose. There was no denying that my mother was beautiful, with her red hair and honey brown eyes and curvy figure. But maybe I was just being biased given she is my mother. “I am sorry mum, I had to pass by Becca’s house and lost track of time, but I am here now” “Goodness, I swear you subtract years from my life Vanya” she shakes her head at me but I just grinned at her knowing I was already forgiven. “But you still f*****g love me” she cringes at my choice of word and so does my sister. “Your vocabulary young lady is quite colorful, too colorful for your mum and sister” I turned to look at my dad who had joined us. “Well I did learn from the best of the best” I smirked at him, my voice saccharine sweet. He just stares at me before barking out a laugh. “Enough you too, we have work to do” and with that we fall into our roles as servants. Hours were spent serving majority of pricks who did nothing but look down on us. When it was time for the food everyone was called into the enormous hall. I stood at the back just watching, waiting for the alpha king to give his opening speech before everyone settled to eat. The door to the entrance near the stage opened and the alpha king walked in with his beta right beside him and the royal family behind him. Anyone could tell just how powerful he was, his aura suffocated everyone in the room making us all submit and bow to him. You didn’t need to be told that he was the big bad wolf, you could feel it in every fiber of your body. He was wearing a black suit and it fit him to perfection. Every female eye were on him and you could tell they wanted a piece of him, for despite being powerful and filthy rich, he was also stunning. His grey eyes swiped across the room in one glance. His gaze was analytic and precise, almost assessing. Despite it being the twenty-first century, you could clearly tell that he was a warrior, a hardened warrior at that and I wondered what had turned him into that hardened modern warrior. “We are gathered here, for another ball, celebrating a successful year of pack friendship and bonds…despite setbacks here and there we still stood strong and still remain the strongest faction of the supernatural. It’s my honor to officially usher in the annual royal ball. Feel free to enjoy yourselves” I almost laughed at what he said because it contradicted his tone of voice, he looked like he’d rather be anywhere else but here. Once he finished saying the words, cheers break out throughout the room. He then left the stage but before he could walk out of the room, he was pulled into a conversation by one of the alphas. I scan the room once again then leave for the kitchen knowing very well that I’ll be needed. Reaching there I immersed myself in the work of carrying tray after tray of foods. The royal family of course had the high table and let me just say that all of them were beautiful. We serve and after clear the dishes and by the time I am done I was dead tired on my feet. Casey and my parents decided to retire for the night instead but I had to meet up with Jason and Becca so after changing to more suitable clothes I went in search of them. It doesn’t take long to find them with a bunch of other people. “Hello gorgeous, I’ve missed you” Jason murmured wrapping his hands around my waist once I am near and drawing me in for a kiss. I could never get enough of his kisses nor how his body feels on mine. “Hey…” I give him a sheepish smile once we pull apart. I stare into his handsome face wondering how the hell I got so lucky with him. He wasn’t my mate, I didn’t have a mate given I had no wolf and his had died when he was eighteen, but we felt like mates, we were both each other’s chosen. “I’m outta here, can’t stand all this mushy mushy s**t” Becca made a gagging sound and everyone including me laugh. Once Becca left we stayed a while chatting with everyone but soon the hunt began and everyone leaves except for me and Jason. “Do you want to go for the hunt or would you rather take me back to your room?” I brazenly asked while nibbling his ear, my hands trailing down his chest down to his belt then tugging it a little. "Definitely my room" he rasped in that sexy voice that I love so much. It didn't take us long to reach his room and within no time our clothes were discarded and we are on each other like ravaging animals. Soon I was screaming his name, not caring who was listening. We go at it for a couple of rounds before I finally call it a night. By the time I was leaving he was already asleep and I couldn’t help myself from kissing his lips before leaving. By the time I reached the house my parents rented I was exhausted so I checked in on them and just fell on the sofa in exhaustion. Just before I fall asleep, I heard the most terrifying roar I have ever heard, it literally shook the house. It was a roar full of pain and anger, a roar that promised retribution. It went on for a few minutes but it soon faded and once it did I lost myself to sleep. I woke up to the door being burst open, while guards and sentinels rushed in, their faces angry and bitter, I was confused. Four of them went upstairs and came back with my family and roughly threw them to the floor. Once the confusion cleared, I stood up but was kicked from behind making me fall to the ground. “Wha-what’s going on?” I stuttered afraid since the rest of my family, it seemed, were too stunned to speak. The guards removed silver cuffs from a bag, careful not to directly touch them, then without even speaking to us, handcuffed us. And man did they burned like a b***h. “What the hell is going on?” I shouted this time since it seemed like no one was listening. A shadow falls before us, and I strain my neck to look at the newcomer only to be met with grey eyes that had a storm brewing behind them. “You are under arrest for the multiple murder of the royal family” The Alpha snarled, fury clearly radiating from his voice, and from every pore of his body. The air is charged with something dangerous and with that he punches me straight in the face making everything fade into blackness.
