The Female Alpha's Secret Mate (GirlxGirl)

2nd Chapter

Stella Snow

When I finished with changing my shirt, I ran out of my room and bolted out of the pack house. I hope I can still catch the last bus to school.

Only a couple more months and I will finally finish high school. I still didn’t know what I was going to do after. I doubt that Alpha Valerie will let me go to college. She already thinks that I was a waste of time and money. But, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life as a slave to a pack that has treated me like sh-t. Maybe I’ll take a chance and run away with nothing, you’ll never know, maybe I can do it. I still have months to think about my next move for my life. 

When I get to the bus stop, the last bus has already left. Great… So freaking great. Now I have to walk to school, I’m certainly going to miss the first period which is math. I can afford to miss a lesson since I am quite good at math, but still, I would have preferred that I didn’t miss anything.

With a car, the school is about eight to ten minutes away but on foot, it will take about fifteen minutes to walk. But with my short legs, it takes me almost twenty minutes. Sadly, I’m only five foot and two inches tall, which is really short. Usually, ‘were’ people are really tall, that’s why in school, I always feel like I’m surrounded by giants. 

Even just walking with my friends in the hallways, I have to sprint to keep up with them. A few years more of training like that and I might be able to win in a race walking competition. I can even join the Olympics if I wanted to. Internally, I laughed at my own joke while I paved my way on the sidewalk. 

I was about to put on my wireless earbuds when I heard someone honking their loud car horn. I jumped a little, I had my palm over my chest, I turned around just to see a familiar white Range Rover. I sigh in relief. 

The passenger window came down and I leaned to greet my friend. I smiled at her brightly. “Hey Amelia, cutting it close, aren’t we? You’re going to be late.”

She shrugged. “Not more than usual, I always drive to school at this time. And, we are not late yet, but we are going to be, if you don’t get you sweet little behind inside this car right now.” Amelia tapped the seat next to her. 

I chuckled. I grab the door handle then flop my b-tt down the cream, newly upholstered seat. 

“You’re quite late this morning. Did something happen again? Who is it this time?” Amelia was still facing me and she had a serious and protective look on her face. 

“It’s just the usual. Sophia and her silicone minions had nothing better to do so they decided to spill juice all over my shirt so I had to change. It’s not so bad, I’ve experienced a lot worse.” I shrugged, looking out the window. 

(TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of attempted R-pe and S-xual assault.)

All throughout the years of torment, I’ve already built up tolerance from all the bullying. I’ve experienced worse than juice being spilt on my clothes. Aside from the physical abuse, being treated as a punching bag, I’ve also almost been r-ped by three men in the woods once. Thankfully, I was saved by someone and I’ve never seen those three men in the pack ever again. It’s like they disappeared, according to the people I’ve asked, they ran away with no explanation. 

I don’t know who saved me. Before those men began to s-xually assaulting me, they beat me up first so that I couldn’t fight back. They ripped off all my clothes and began touching my body with their repulsive hands. Two of them held my arms down while the other one spread my legs open. I sobbed quietly, accepting my cruel, f-cked up faith. 

I heard the sound of zippers being undone, I closed my eyes, feeling tired from the beating and general mental exhaustion so I kept my eyelids shut and waited for the demons to finish defiling my weak body. I waited for the pain on my lower part but it never came, instead, I heard muffled sounds of arguing and fighting. 

I couldn’t open my eyes to see what was happening so I just laid on the ground with only a tiny party of my consciousness awake. Then, I couldn’t hear anything anymore. Feeling relieved, I passed out completely, but not before I felt someone picking me up and my nose was overwhelmed with the scent of the sweetest melon. The scent was very familiar but I can’t put my finger on who it is. 

Those were the last things that I remembered from that incident. I remember every detail but I still can’t find out who my mystery savior was. Because I haven’t met my wolf yet, my senses were still like a normal human, I didn’t have the strong sense of smell, strength and other goodies that comes with being a werewolf.

I can’t really go off and smell every member of the pack, just to see who among them smells like melons. They already think I’m weird enough and I don’t think I’ll be helping my case if I poke my nose where it didn’t belong, and I meant this in a literal sense. 

Thankfully, after that incident, that kind of abuse never happened again, the bullying even lessened to name calling and slight shoving here and there. 

I buckled my seatbelt and made myself comfy on the seat. 

“Ugh! Why do they have to act like b-tches? Do you want me to do something about it?” Amelia huffed while stepping on the gas pedal.

“Nope, it’s okay. They can’t do any real harm. I couldn’t care less about them.” I wave my hand away. 

“Stella, you are too kind. Just say the word and I’ll make sure that they will regret being born in this world. So, how was your weekend?” She asks while we swerve through the traffic. 

“Fine. I did my usual chores, cleaning, scrubbing and ironing with the side of the usual torment of the wonderful members of the Blackwood Wolf pack. How about yours? I’m guessing you were really busy since you didn’t reply to any of our messages.” 

“You know my usual, I trained hard during the mornings then sneak out to party harder at night.” I saw her large grin while she maintained her eyes on the road. 

Amelia has it all, she is pretty, strong, rich and popular and yet she stays humble and is even friends with an omega like me. Amelia and her family live in their own separate house from the pack. Her family is pretty loaded and they are considered to be high ranking in the pack because they are a family that produces great and strong warriors. That’s why even if Amelia is friends with me, the freak of the pack, she’s not afraid to be friends with me, the other members can’t really bully her because she’s strong and they are scared of her, whooping their asses on by one. 

Amelia is one awesome, bad-ss chick that takes no bullsh-t from anyone. I could only hope to be as strong and cool as her someday, maybe when I finally meet and shift as my wolf, whenever that may be, hopefully soon. 

I held on tightly to my seat when Amelia sent her car into warp speed. With our lives still intact, we arrived at school just in time with a couple of seconds to spare. I thank her for the ride and we said our temporary goodbyes then ran to our respective class. We didn’t have the same class so we’ll probably see each other at lunch time. 

I was slightly panting, the bell rang just after I got into the room. The young and pretty Math teacher, Ms. Scarlet is already sitting on the desk and currently busy arranging some papers. I muttered a quick greeting, she looked up and smiled at me.

I walked towards the back row and sat on the empty seat right next to my other best friend, Noah, he is also an omega like me, he lives in another pack house that is right next to the main pack house where I live. Sometimes, when we were finished with our chores, we sneak out somewhere to talk and hang out.

Noah is a very shy boy, that’s why he is the baby of our group but still, he is taller than me. Noah and I are both gay so we had that in common and that’s our shared secret. We haven’t told our other friends because we are scared of how they are going to react. 

I heard him sigh deeply. “Thank goodness, you’re here, Stella. I thought you weren’t coming to class. I badly need help with this assignment. What the hell are these symbols for? I think they are symbols to summon the devil. I don’t think we should be studying this.” He pushed away his Math notebook then crossed his arms and pursed his pouty lips. 

I stared at him for a second then I chuckled. He glared at me and continued to pout. “Heh, you are really such a cutie, Noah. I want to put you in my pocket.” I pinched both of his cheeks.

Noah shook his head, trying to free his hostage cheeks. When I finally released his chubby cheeks, he looked like an upset bunny.

“Ugh, I would say I hate you but I know that you’re the only one who can help me with this problem.”

“You can say it but we both know it isn’t true.” I winked at him and he fake gagged in return. I squished him with a quick hug and when I pulled away, I started teaching him how to solve the problem but he wasn’t getting it yet, the homework was due today. For now, I let him copy the answer from my homework but we both agreed that I’ll teach him how it was solved later, after class.         

Ms. Scarlet stood up from the chair, she pulled down her pencil skirt that hiked up from her sitting. I can see most of the boys in the class checking out the attractive teacher when she turned around to face the whiteboard to write something.

The class pass by fairly quickly and I understood everything from the lesson, Ms. Scarlet is an excellent teacher, she makes the lesson very understandable for everyone. 

I have both my first and second period with Noah so we head off to our second period which is History. The class was pretty boring, History class is pretty easy to pass, it’s just memorization. That’s why my favorite subject was Math, it’s not just about memorization like the other subjects, you really have to analyze and understand the problem before solving it. 

When the bell finally rings, signalling the end of the class and the start of the lunch break, I cling to Noah’s arm and we make our way to the cafeteria. 

We stood at the back of the line and waited for our turn to choose our meal when all of a sudden, a group of much taller people cut in line in front of us. It was Sophia, her two supporting friends, each one of them had a muscular large man on their back holding on to their waist.

“Oh, I hope you don’t mind omegas, I think it’s just proper that we go first before you.” Sophia sneered as she twisted her curled bleached locks on her pointer finger.

I can feel Noah slightly trembling to my side while I kept a poker face. I just stared at Sophia with an unwavering expression. With this kind of person, it’s best to show them that you aren’t affected by their antics. It will annoy them way more. When you show them that you’re affected, it will just fuel them to do it again. I laughed inside when I saw Sophia look frustrated that I wasn’t affected by her. Their group simply turned their backs at us when they saw that we weren’t going to react from their provocation. 

When it was finally our turn, we immediately made our selection. Noah and I looked around the cafeteria to see if our friends are already here. We saw Shannon, our human friend sitting on the table by herself. She is busy tapping away on her phone while her food is left untouched. 

“Hey Shan, have you seen Amelia?” I placed my tray in front of Shannon, Noah followed and sat beside me.

When finally noticed us, she looked up from her phone and she had a wide grin on her face. “Hey, you two! How was your weekend? Was it fun? Mine was really really fun. And, no, I haven’t seen Amelia yet. Maybe, she is still in class.” Shannon has a habit of babbling, sometimes it’s a little annoying but we still love her nonetheless. 

“Take it easy, Shan. Breath.” Noah says, trying to calm down our hyperactive friend. 

Shannon simply brushed him off and continued to talk about her amazing weekend that she spent with her family. 

In the middle of Shannon’s story, two hands were placed on Shannon’s shoulders and that caused her to jolt. It was Amelia, she has her signature smirk. “So, what did I miss?” She sat down beside Shannon. Now, Shannon has her mouth finally shut, her face also flushed. Whenever Amelia is in the room, Shannon immediately becomes quiet. Shannon is really not subtle with her feelings so it’s obvious to me and Noah that she likes Amelia. However, I don’t think that Amelia knows or even notices Shannon’s odd behavior whenever she was around. 

Since we know that Shannon may also belong to the homo squad, Noah and I plan to come out to her but we haven't found the right time to tell her. 

“Nothing much. Shannon has been telling us about their family trip to the mountain.”

“Oh? So, how was it” Amelia leaned her face close to Shannon.

“It’s nothing special.” Shannon spoke in a soft voice then she looked away from Amelia.

There was a moment of silence.

“Amelia, why are you late? You almost missed lunch.” I ask her to break the momentary silence.

“Lunch detention.” She shrugged while opening her strawberry Jell-O

“What did you do this time?” I question her with a raised brow.

“I don’t know? I don’t think I did anything wrong.” She says, trying to look innocent.

“Uhuh. Of course you don’t.” I shook my head.

We finished our lunch quickly and we went back to our classes.
