The Cursed Omega

Chapter 2 - Losing Consciousness

~IVORY~

"Do you think this suits me best?" Jemima asked me for the tenth time after trying on ten different dresses. After wearing it, she would look at herself admiringly in the mirror, before deciding it didn't match her skin tone or eye colour.

I sighed for the umpteenth time before saying "just pick one Jemima, I can assure you Jason would still love you even if you go to the ceremony in a trash bag".

"Are you trying to call my dresses trash?" She said as she began to act teary.

"Oh no, it's not like that, as a matter of fact, the purple one is one of the most beautiful dresses I've seen" I honestly said.

She looked at me for a while before she smiled, then said "thank you for helping me pick, you just chose a dress for me darling, the purple it is".

"They are all beautiful, by the way" I said.

"And I needed you to choose one as I couldn't wear them all at the same time. You know you're the only person I can trust to be honest with me" she said.

"You should pay me for being your best-friend", I teased her as I began to fold the other dresses into a box.

"I specifically made those dresses because I wanted to look really good for Jason. You know that will be the first time we'll officially go out as a couple " she said.

"Oh, I see" I replied.

"Anyways, expect me this time tomorrow for your make-up. You try locking your door to avoid me coming in. I'm breaking it down" she jokingly threatened, as she packed her stuff and went out of my room.

I was about closing my door when I saw Lucas waving at me from a distance.

"Hey Ivory, a moment please" he yelled from the other side as he began running over to me. I locked my door as I waited for him by the railings.

"How're you doing, Ivory?" He said as he halted before me.

"I'm doing fine, thanks , I hope it's the same as you?" I asked.

"I'm all good, thanks" he replied.

"Thanks for yesterday, by the way". I expressed my gratitude.

"It's nothing, really" he said, shrugging it off.

"So, you stopped me?..." I said.

"Yeah, hmm, I wanted to know if you're free to hangout tomorrow after kitchen work" he said, looking at his feet.

"Lucas, what do you really want from me?" I asked him.

"I like you Ivory, I've actually liked you for a long time now, I just didn't know how to. put out my feelings" he confessed.

"And you think this is the right time to say that now?" I asked him with an eyebrow raised.

"I never knew how to approach you since you were always reserved, you really don't know how difficult it was to muster the courage to talk to you" he said, to my surprise.

"Are you being serious right now?" I said as I chuckled.

"I'm serious about this, Ivory" he said, with a serious look.

"Besides, I think you have a mate, if I'm not mistaken" I said.

"She passed away" he said as his face dropped.

"Oh, I'm really sorry about that, but the issue now is, I'm close to the age where I have problems with my mate. Who knows? I might be your second-chance mate. I'd like us to wait till then" I said.

"I don't know why I feel that will never happen. This is my chance, please Ivory, I really love you. I've been watching you all this while. I mean you're the reason I offered to be a kitchen staff member" he said, to my amazement.

"You really love me? Do you know I'm an Omega?" I asked in hopes he'd back down.

"I know" he replied.

"And you still want to be with me?" I asked surprisingly.

"See, I know and have heard how people maltreated you because of your wolf status. I can assure you that's never going to happen to me to I would never see or treat you less than I should treat my woman", he assured me.

"I still can't see you as a friend, Lucas, I'm sorry" I said as his face dropped.

"It's fine" he said sadly.

"I hope you find someone willing and better. You're an amazing person." I said, trying to cheer him up.

"Thanks, I guess I'll see you around then. I got to run, bye" he said as he ran back the way he came.

I was going to be twenty in a few days, meaning I'd finally be able to transform into my wolf form and I would be able to sense my mate.

The curiosity in me grew with time. "What if he doesn't like me due to the fact that I'm an Omega? I don't think I'll be able to live with myself if he ever rejects me for that", I thought to myself.

I made my way to the garden, which was a shortcut to the kitchen, when I overheard two people talking about the person who recently got punished by the Alpha. They had him in his wolf form and broke his right paw, which was one of the most gruesome pains. I shivered at the thought.

"Get out of my way, you stupid Omega", an angry passer-by yelled at me as he pushed the heavy carrier past me in the kitchen's direction. I guessed the kitchen supplies had started coming in.

The bad thing about being an omega is, a normal wolf can easily decipher, meaning you can be sensed every time and instantly looked down on. I haven't met many people who are nice to omega.

"She is the one, get her" a blonde suddenly showed up and pointed to me, while some strong-looking females started to make their way to me.

I contemplated running for a moment, but knowing how weak my legs were, they wouldn't get me far. I raised my hands in mock surrender and began to say "what did I do please?".

"You'll know in some minutes" one of them said as she dragged me by my collar.

I got led to the back of the pack training ground where they roughly pushed me to the ground and I squirmed at the pain that followed.

"You think you can have my man, huh?,you lowly omega" the blonde said distastefully at me as she kicked me just below my ribs.

"I don't know who your man is" I said with my teary eyes as I began to feel pain.

"Well, you don't need to know,I know you don't like him but you have to pay for making him even take a look at you" she said between hits and slaps. I was about losing consciousness.

"If I didn't have Lucas, anyone else could go ahead, but not a lowly omega. You can't win a battle I lost"

she continued to say and my heart churned.

I wanted to say something but then I lost consciousness.
