”Come to me, Mia”. Mom stands in the clearing smiling at me. A lovely day it is. She’s wearing her favorite blue floral dress and beckoning me. I giggled and ran to her. I ran and ran but the distance wasn’t shortened. This is strange. I’m running at full speed but I can’t get closer to her.

“Mom!” I screamed, starting to panic, and became terrified as I saw a red hooded man appear behind her back, blood dripping dagger in his hand. I need to save her. 

“Give it up, Mia.” Dad’s ghostly voice wafts beside Mom. He is strapped to a giant tree.

“Run for your life. There’s nothing you can do.” He said disappointedly, “You were never qualified as an Alpha’s daughter.” 

No no no, I frantically shook my head. I can do this. I must do this. 

“You are a disappointment, Mia.” Mom looked at me, her eyes were indifferent. No mom, please don’t do this to me. Suddenly her face started to melt into formless blood, soaking in the fabric and forming a small puddle on the ground. 

‘Aahhhhh…’ shrill screams escaping mom’s lips started to echo throughout the forest. 

Nooooo! I screamed, and woke up. 

“Shut the fuck up! Everyone else is sleeping!” 

“I’m sorry.” I whispered. She didn’t bother to answer me back. 

It is a dream, a dream that has been haunting me ever since my parents died. Thanks to the scolding, I was now fully back to reality. 

After my parents died, Alpha Wyatt took over the pack. I am no longer the Alpha’s daughter but degraded as an Omega. The old room, gone. All the love and care, gone. I I now live in the omega dungeon, sharing a big room with nineteen other omegas. 

I sat up with difficulty. The wounds on my back hadn’t healed yet. When Alpha got angry, or he suffered some inconvenience or he just got bored, he would come down here and… well, basically used me as his punching bag. Sometimes to make sure his hands don’t get dirty, he would tell me to pick up a knife dipped in wolfsbane and cut up my arms, legs, and ribs until the blood would pour out. Wolfsbane injuries heal slower. They hurt more. 

Yesterday he slipped on the wet ground when I had been mopping, and his ankle twisted. Since it was obviously my fault in his eyes, I had to count down to twenty till he finished whipping me. 

I took out a piece of red silky fabric from my secret pocket that I sewed on my clothes. The cloth is old but the color is still vibrant as new. I held it tight and memorize my own thoughts. Today is the day that I’m going to make my parents proud. 

“Just wait and see.” I whispered, staring up at the ceiling, hoping they could hear me. 

Closing my eyes for a brief moment, I shook my head, and stood up on my feet to start the pack chores. 

As I was preparing the food, an old maid, Diana, who had been working as an omega in our pack for years and had always been the kind one to me, inched closer, sneaking an orange to me, “Happy eighteenth birthday, Mia.” she whispered with a small smile. 

I took it gratefully, sliding it into the pocket of my apron, “Thank you.” 

First birthday blessing. First gift. 

We continued to pretend to work closely as she whispered again attentively, “You are of age now. Are you looking forward to finding out who your mate is?” 

‘You will know what completion feels like when you find your mate,’ mama had said, ‘He’ll ignite an eternal fire in your heart that shall not be put out by anything or anyone.’ 

My heart sank when I thought about Mama. 

I resemble her very much in appearance. When I was little, whoever saw me would always say how I was the mini version of Miranda. They would see her shining brown eyes, curly hair, and small five feet five inches frame in me. She always held adorable little mischiefs and strong determination in those small eyes of hers. Despite being a luna of our pack, she was the person that brought soul and laughter to the whole packhouse. 

I looked like her. But I missed the look that she used to have in her eyes. Mine were filled with grief, covered in dark circles, and there was a cut on my right eyebrow where the hair didn’t grow anymore since the day alpha Wyatt had inflicted an injury on that spot. 

“Mate.” I savoured the word again as a quiet whisper. It is a privilege that I can not afford. But if there is anyone who might turn out be my mate then he would be… 

There was a knock at the kitchen door. Someone opened the door and immediately bowed, “Beta Liam.” 

Talk about the Devil! My fingers tightened in fists, my heart thrumming harder than ever. It’ll be convenient if we are mates. It’ll be good for the plan. Mia, you can do it. 

I took a deep breath.
