EVOLET
“You are going nowhere near that mansion! That place isn’t for Omega’s like ourselves,” my mother said, denying me the chance to join my mates at the Alpha’s home.
But she’s failing to see the opportunity that lies before us here.
Two days ago, Queen Chriselda, mother of our ruler, Alpha Allen, made a public announcement, inviting all the damsels of WOLF FALL PACK to the mansion, to take part in a LUNA HUNT for her son.
Since that day, every maiden have been rushing down to the mansion to shoot their shot, knowing the benefit that lies in that title called LUNA, if Alpha Allen picks one of them.
And with full confidence, I know if I should take part in this hunt, I have a high chance of being the Alpha’s Luna, and saving my mother and I from the poverty we live in.
But my mother… She doesn’t seem to have any fate in me.
She’s different from other mother’s that are pushing their daughters to the mansion. She has chosen to hold me down, so I won’t join.
I ... I don’t know why she’s doing this to me.
“The Alpha isn’t the only man in this world. When it’s time, I’ll get you a suitor that fits our class,” she said, walking into the kitchen with no care at all.
I felt hurt hearing this from her mouth.
Class! Is this where she wants us to remain forever? A family of poor omegas with no reputation at all?
Upset, I voiced out at once to my mother, “The Alpha may not be the only man in this world, but he’s the ruler in search of a wife. This is something that other omegas know, Mom! They… they heard the Queen’s notice, that’s why they are sending their daughters to the… ”
“Are you questioning my decision?!” Mom interrupted, turning around to face me with a glare.
When I saw those raging eyes, my whole body shivered, reminding myself who was before me.
“Are you saying your mother is stupid and doesn’t know what is right for her child?! Is that what you’re saying, Evolet?!” she roared, drawing closer.
In fear, I lowered my head down and said, “No, Mom. I… I didn’t mean it that way. I was just…”
“You know nothing, Girl!” she silenced me before I could finish my statement. “I am your mother and I know what’s best for my child,” she said.
Her tone left me shaking in my spot. I carefully reached for my black necklace around my neck, holding it close while praying to the goddess to take this storm away.
That’s when Mom sighed out, placing her hands on my shoulders, causing me to lift my head to face her.
She was calm, but in her eyes, I could tell she wasn’t done. “My girl, you are nothing like the others. They might be Omegas like us, but they have something that can help them in this Luna hunt, and it’s something you don’t possess. A wolf. You are wolfless and weak. ”
Ouch. What a nice way to ruin my hopes.
“Have you forgotten that you can’t summon or even feel your wolf? What if the Queen throws that question at you during the game? What will you tell her?” Mom questioned, crossing her arms.
Though I felt sad with her words, still I gave her a response, “I know it’s taking long for me to unleash my wolf, but that doesn’t me I can’t feel it. I know I have a wolf inside.”
“Quit deceiving yourself and take out that thought of being in the hunt. You aren’t fit and will never be. It’s best you accept it,” she scoffed, turning her back once again.
My heart sank with bitterness on hearing my mother. She’s always like this. She never supports my dreams, but downgrades me for being wolfless.
As I drew my steps back from her, she said, “I’ve told you, Eve. Don’t go against me and join the game. You don’t belong there.”
“Yes, mother, “ I said with a broken heart, exiting the kitchen with my eyes welling with tears.
.
“That’s harsh. She shouldn’t have said that,” Fiona, my only friend, commented on what I told her.
I had left the house to see my best friend, who was waiting for me under a tree at the center of the park. As we strolled, I told her what went down with mom and I, and it made her upset.
