HER GRACE... (king of Alphas)

Chapter 7*THE INVITATION.*

||*ALLISON*||

There’s two days until my 18th birthday and I am not as excited as I once imagined. But no harm, I am still grateful to be alive at the moment.

Alpha Nicholas is planning a massive party as it is also Jason’s 18th birthday, and the day he should find his mate. It’s also going to be his coronation to be introduced as Alpha. However, he won’t be taking over till he is 22. That’s the official age of becoming Alpha in my pack.

Today being Friday, I am on my way to the packhouse to help with some chores and run errands. Thanks to Alpha, I get to have the weekdays to myself. Unlike most omegas, I only have to work Fridays through Sundays. However, thanks to the future Alpha and some rash pack members, three days of work seemed like three years.

I got to the packhouse well past the usual time with high hopes that I wouldn’t see Jason or any of the asshat pack members on my way to Luna's room because I was pretty sure they would throw a fit about me coming in late. I am not the tardy type, I just haven’t been feeling myself lately.

I slept in today, even though I’m not usually a heavy sleeper. I don’t know what’s going on with me this week.

I feel weak and sick, looking paler than usual. But of course, I’ve got my oversized hoodies to cover that up. It seems like my body is getting ready for this year’s change. I hope it isn’t worse or visible this time around.

I am not prepared to face the pack members or the Alpha about it yet; I also don’t want anyone calling me a freak.

I might get thrown out of the pack if they find out about everything that’s been going on with me. Good thing they won’t ever find s**t out.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a stinging pain in my right cheek. Holy Goddess!

“What was that for?” I raised my head to the attacker, who interrupted my thoughts.

“That’s for being 30 minutes late,” the assailant said.

“I’m 25 minutes late, not 30. Why would you hit me?”

“I don’t care if you’re 5 minutes late! I just know you’re late, b***h! And don’t you dare talk back to me!”

“Well, you're not the one who has to wake up by 4 a.m. to run errands and get chores done, are you?” I mumbled to myself.

Such a dickhead, acting all bossy and authoritative.

He is trying my patience, and I don’t know how long I can keep tolerating him before I snap and beat his ass.

“Was that directed at me?” he asked incredulously.

“I don’t remember saying your name. If you don’t mind, I’ve got errands to run,” I said to him with a scowl on my face.

“Wow, you’ve got some nerve talking back at me. Let’s see how far that gets you, useless omega.” His voice was full of hate.

“Can you just get on with it already? If you want to slap me again, just do it and let me leave. I wouldn’t mind telling Luna who is behind my tardiness,” I said to him, smiling like I had won the lottery.

“I see you’re getting bolder by the day. I can’t wait to see that smile on your face turn into a bitter one when I reject you as my mate. I’ve been waiting so long for that! It will be so fun when I break you.” Jason said, grinning wickedly at me.

“Cut the crap, Jason. I’ll be glad to accept your rejection, and I have no intention of living the rest of my life with an irresponsible, arrogant ass like yours. You will do me a huge favor by rejecting me. I am looking forward to your rejection. Besides, I don’t feel s**t for you. What makes you think I care?”

I need to let this narcissistic psychopath know he means nothing to me. Boy, I don’t feel s**t about you! Not after you left me when I needed you most. What makes him think I still care about his arrogant ass?

The look on his face showed he wasn’t expecting me to voice my opinion like that. I walked out on him and headed straight to Luna’s room. And thank the Goddess, I got there right on time. She was just about to step out of the room.

“Gracious morning to you Luna, how did you sleep?” I greeted our Luna with a respectful bow of my head.

“A good morning to you, my darling, I slept well, although I didn’t expect you to be this early.” This is one of the many reasons I like my Luna. She always tends to the needs of members without prejudice.

“Oh, I didn’t want to appear tardy. I was told to get here early as the preparations for the future Alpha’s birthday party will start today.”

“Oh, that’s right! Thanks for reminding me, we all know it’s when you both get to know your mates. I can’t wait to have you as Jason’s mate and my daughter-in-law,” she said, smiling with joy.

“I can’t wait for that as well…” Oh, how I wish you knew what a dickhead her son had been. I will not snitch, she doesn't need to know about my lack of faith in me being her son's mate.

“And lest I forget, you’re invited to the party. Just so you know,” Luna says.

Wait, what? The tradition does not permit omegas to attend parties. Why am I invited?
