"Omega! Where are you?" Jade's 'dear' sister shouted as they entered the house together with her boyfriend.
Jade was just there in the kitchen, but the way her sister shouted on top of her lungs, feels like she was on the other side of the mountain.
When they were a few meters away from their house, Jade already knew they were coming, so she immediately went to the kitchen to prepare their snacks.
How did she know? Her senses are much stronger than theirs, but they don't know that. For them, she's just an Omega -the weakest and the lowest member of the pack. And Jade loves to keep it that way, to hide her secret.
Jade quickly enters the living room, holding a tray with two glasses of orange juice and some cupcakes. She greeted them with her head tilted low because they are doing something that lovers should do in private, and they don't even care if she is coming. They ignored her presence and didn't even dare to respond to her greetings. She just put the tray on the center table and put the snacks properly.
"I'll be in the kitchen, Jasmine, and Alpha. Just call me if you need anything," Jade politely said, still bowing her head.
Since she was a child, Jade was restricted by her sister not to meet her eyes and those higher than her, especially her boyfriend, Franklin Bailey, their future Alpha. As an Omega, Jade needs to follow her sister's order or their order and doesn't have the right to complain.
"We don't need you here. Go away." Franklin said coldly, while my sister just giggled. Jade was startled at his voice. He's a dangerous man.
The presence in her mind scoffed. Right!
"You're hot if you are mad, baby!" Jasmine exclaimed, using her high-pitched voice. While Jade had goosebumps hearing it, knowing it was so fake.
"Yes, Alpha," Jade answered and quickly exited in front of them and went back to the kitchen.
"I'm glad I can leave the house," Jade murmured to herself.
Jade walks towards the servant's quarter where she's sleeping. Ever since Jade learned how to do the household chores, her father transferred her there because it is near the kitchen. Before, her twin and her shared the same room, but after she was transferred, her father made a new room for her twin. While their former bedroom was made as a guest room. She accepts what they gave her without protest.
Only her twin is the one who loves and cares for her in that house. Sadly, he can't do anything about her situation. He was also trapped under their father's command. Tomorrow they are at the right age to decide for themselves. It's their eighteenth birthday.
Jade grabbed a few of her books on the table and exited the backdoor. She rather stays at her favorite place to relax and chill than stay inside.
At the very end of their land, two old trees grow next to each other. In the middle of those trees, Jade's father built a treehouse for their mother when she was alive. But ever since she died there has been no one dared to visit until Jade found it. She hid when she broke her mother's precious glassware.
Afraid that her father would hit her, she ran and ended up in those old trees, up to the treehouse. It was creepy and rusty at that time, but it became her refuge for a few hours until her father found her and punished her for her mistakes. Blaming all the bad luck on her existence.
Besides, she needs to go out of the house, or else Jade will surely hear her sister and Franklin's moaning. She shudders at the thought.
They are not even mates. Yes, Jade's sister has already a mate but she rejected him because he's only a Gamma of our neighboring pack. Her sister didn't accept her mate, so she and Alpha Franklin would stay together. Confident that the Alpha will do the same for her when he finds his mate. Hope so because if not, she will end up mateless.
Jade smiled when she saw the "Lovers", as she called it. Lovers because her dad and mom used to stay here, and trees are connected. She slowly climbs up the bamboo stairs which were made by herself with the help of their kind helper. No one dares to cross this part of the land even when they are in wolf form. Something backed them off. Jade knows why and she loves to keep it that way.
She chants a spell to remove the illusion spell on the treehouse and opens the door.
"I wonder when you are going show up."
Jade suddenly dropped her things in shock and was dumbfounded when she realized who was speaking. She immediately goes to her and hugs her tight. They fell on the couch, laughing.
"Ouch! Get off, woman! You're so heavy." She grunts while pushing Jade using her spell. Jade landed sitting on the other couch.
"I miss you." Jade pouted, trying to stand up, but she couldn't because of the frozen spell that used to her.
Jade's friend smiled sweetly. She uses her eyes and mind to take the things on the floor and put them on the table. Jade can do that too, but her telekinesis ability is not yet as powerful as her friend's.
Yup, Jade is a half-witch and werewolf. But sadly, she can’t shift into her wolf form. She doesn't know the reason why, because her wolf keeps disappearing from her mind every time Jade asks her about it. Though, her wolf also wants her to keep a secret about her being a half-witch and half werewolf.
'Do you know I can hear you right?' Meet Jade's lovely wolf, Freya. She only appeared now because she heard something about her.
'Hey! That's not true and you know that. Tsk!' She protested. Jade can see in her mind Freya's reaction. She can’t help but giggle.
'Kidding!' It’s not true. Freya has to hide her presence when they are at home for their safety. She only appears when they are in this treehouse.
"You know I'm right here?" Jade's friend sarcastically captures her attention.
"Finish talking to Freya then?"
Jade smiled and nodded. Her friend playfully rolled her eyes.
'Say 'Hi' to Emerald for me, will you?' Freya said, as she was lazily sitting in the corner of her mind.
"Freya said 'Hi', sissy!" Jade told her.
Meet her best friend. Emerald Gomez, the Princess of the White Witch Clan. Jade met Emerald here in the treehouse on her second time coming here, crying. Emerald comforted her, and they became best friends since then. They were only nine years old at that time. It was also when Jade found out that Emerald is a white witch and she mistakenly teleported into the treehouse.
The secret of this place is a lot because of Jade's mom. Being a witch, Jade's mom put a secret portal here connected to the White Witch Clan. She also has plenty of books and spells here, hidden under ordinary eyes. Her mother also put a spell on this place to make it creepy and make people get scared to come here. That’s why Jade's pack members think the soul of her mom didn't leave this area because it was her favorite place.
People knew Jade's mom was a white witch but they think she chose to become a human to be with her father. She especially had royal blood, which at that time, it was unacceptable in society to have a mate with another supernatural. The thing others didn’t know was that Jade's mom had never been a human but only hid her witch side.
Jade's sister and twin brother are pure werewolves, with no witch genes in their blood at all. And they thought of Jade as a pure human, the genes they believe she inherited from her mother. True... Jade inherited her mother's white witch genes and her secret in this treehouse but, so do the werewolf genes of her father. She's a hybrid... pretending a weak Omega.
Emerald, Jade's best friend, makes this place creepier and puts an illusion spell to hide the true beauty of the treehouse. The room is equipped with advanced technology and is very modern. It is much better than Jade's room. That's why she prefers to stay there. Emerald is the one who teaches her how to use magic and spells. They even make a magic potion which, unfortunately, Jade can't use because she's pretending to be a powerless being in front of everyone.
