Terrified By My Beta Mate

   SAM

     “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, my dear Sam, happy birthday to you.” came the melodious voice of my parents as they walked into my room with a beautiful cake in their hands and lit it with eighteen candles.

      Yawning out loud, I sluggishly got up from the bed with a big smile on my face.

       “Thanks, Dad, thanks mum, I thought you guys wouldn't remember with the way I was treated last night,” I told them.

      Last night I got home very late past midnight thanks to Emery who took me as his bodyguard to his friends' party just to tease me, humiliate me, and make fun of me

       I was forced to drink alcohol that I wasn't a fan of and told to strip off my clothes and dance in my underpants while they made fun of me.

        It was the worst day of my life, when I was finally released, I left the building without waiting for him to see what he will do to me whether to take me home or not, I quickly got dressed and head home just to meet the wrath of my parents who yelled at me nonstop, and I felt like dying.

After so much hate from the party and the disgrace, I wanted to go home to cry my eyes out, and yet I was met with another hellhole at home.

          After the yelling from my parents, I was told to go to my room without dinner and I ran as fast as my feet could take me. Closing the door with a bang and for the first time in a while, I cried my eyes out not for the fact that I was humiliated but for the fact that my parents didn't bother to ask me why I came home late and what happened to me, but they yelled and lashed out at me.

       I couldn't believe I cried my eyes to sleep only to wake up with them wishing me a happy birthday.

      “Who would ever forget their baby's birthday” my mum Mrs. Krystal Jackson said

      “Sorry about last night son...” Donovan Jackson said, “..... I thought since you are turning eighteen you are becoming wild by coming home late and getting drunk without telling us where you went.” dad said.

      “Is this an apology cake?” I asked them, eyeing the cake in front of me.

       “No son, this is our wish for you.” mum said, walking over to place a kiss on my forehead.

       “Make a wish son.” dad said as he brought the cake closer to me and placed it on the bed directly in front of me.

        I stood up to a kneeling position to make a wish, my wish is to have a gamma or a beta wolf, for my mate to be caring, loving, good, and finally, to escape the wrath of Emery Cayden and with that, I blew the candle lights off and both mum and dad clapped for me.

        “What did you wish for son?” asked my mum with a smile on her face

        “If I told you, it ain't a wish anymore....." With a smile on my face, I hugged my parents “..... thanks dad, and thanks mum, oh and apology accepted, I forgive the both of you.” I told them.

         “So son do tell us, are you happy that you would be meeting your wolf and your mate today?” Mr. Donovan asked.

          “I am super excited dad. I am extremely happy. Even if I can't have a beta or a gamma wolf at least I pray my mate can either be both of them so that I can stop doing chores and finally be free from a certain someone, I can't wait for midnight.” I said, clapping my hands together in excitement.

           “I can't believe you are all grown up, I won't be seeing you in your room again. Wait what!!!! What certain someone?” asked Mrs. Krystal, it was like the word I said just got to her.

         “The alpha’s son.”

         “What happened to the alpha's son?”

          “ I have been turned into the alpha son's personal servant,” I told them

          “Which of his sons?” asked my dad

          “The one and only Emery Cayden,” I told them as I rolled my eyes.

          “What!!!!!” they both chorused

        “Did the alpha know about this?” asked my mum

         “No, they went for an alpha summit at the kings of alpha pack. Remember yesterday was the alpha's gathering at alpha Rebecca's pack but I heard they would be coming back for their son’s shifting party.” I told them

         “Ha I see, does that explain the reason why you always come home late, and then the sudden workloads placed on you were all his doing?”

         My mum asked, and I nodded my head

         “Oh my poor baby, I am so sorry son,” she said, patting my head.

        “When the alpha comes I will put a word to him on your behalf.”

         “No need dad I will be meeting my mate tonight, and then I will get rid of him but in the meantime, I will be free of him today because today is a big celebration and I need to help the other omegas prepare for the occasion,” I told them as I stood up to get dressed but was pulled back by my dad.

         “Hum, what's wrong dad?” I asked him, looking at his hand locked around my arm.

          “You are meant to be relaxing today”

          “Why?”

          “Anybody doing their birthdays is off all work including omegas, today is your big day and so no work for you and so today is your day of being lazy.” dad said, smiling at me.

          “Really, really?” I asked them to be sure

           “Yeah really son, really. You are off all duties, so enjoy your day off.” dad repeated

          “So I, Samuel Jackson is free from Anna and Emery's claws. I am free today, finally free.”

           I said as I jumped into the air and back again then I lay back flat on my bed

           “I will sleep more,” I told them

           “Okay son, rest well son and I will keep your cake for you.” mum said kissing my forehead

           “Screw that, I want to enjoy my free day before tonight. I love both of you but exploring around awaits me.” I told them as I got up to get dressed and my parents giggled before they left my room.
