PROLOGUE
The moon was glad at the daily worshipping that the men and women below on earth gave her. They never missed a day of their daily worshipping and praising. She was proud of them because their forefathers had been doing it and they were doing it too so one fateful day she called unto them and gave them a power, a power that any normal person would wish to withhold, the power to change into wolves, a power that will distinguish them from the humans and other mere creatures of the earth and they even worshipped her more for the great deed and power she had gave them because they could have never expected such great power to be handed over to them. There was another set of people that studied daily everyday about the moon, also marveling at her beauty and her divine powers, the way she shined brightly and gave light to the night creatures along with the fantastic stars. She was happy at these amazing set of readers and scientists too and gave them each a touch of her blood calling them what we now know as Vampires, so they would have a very long life to gather knowledge and make new discoveries every century as they always loved to do.
These two set of people were extremely glad also and praised, studied and worship her more and more and more for the greatness that she had done to them. There were two men closest to the moon, she loved them so much and cherished them the most out of all the magical creatures she made. As a significance of her special love to them she gave them a dark color to show they were her strong and special wolves. She loved Atlas the most and made him first in command, an alpha, the second one she loved named Jared made him the second in command a beta to rule by his side and take his place when he was gone. Jared’s mate was the alpha female and they loved each other dearly, he didn’t let anyone harm her and took care of her like she was the most precious thing in the world, he would spare his life for her any day. After 50 years of them ruling their beloved pack Jared became greedy and asked to rule, he was tired of watching the great black alpha rule while he sat down watching him.
They disagreed and he became angry, there was war between the two rulers and the moon decided there would be a battle between the two rulers to decide who would rule for the next 50 years. The alpha won the fight, Jared became angry and went to the moon then scratched her leaving a mark there for her forever because he lost, she couldn’t kill him because she still had love for him so she cursed him, she placed a curse that would not only affect him but the whole of his generation.
From this day to the day of our endings you will be the lowest in ranking in every pack you go, you will be despised and rejected, you will never rise to rule, your generation will become what you are the lowest wolf in every pack an omega and since your mate is an alpha you will feel the bond of your alpha mate but your alpha mate will never feel your bond for you and your whole generation will never have an alpha as their mate even if they feel the bond, they will live alone and never get their mate if their mate ever turns out to be an alpha, you will be an omega this is the curse I lay on you for the scar and pain you caused me.
The moon said as they put Jared in an isolated place, this made him sad and sad everyday, his alpha mate couldn’t feel the bond with him anymore and could no longer feel love for him, he was disappointed and completely heartbroken. He left the pack and went to find something could make him happy, that could turn his sad face to a smile at least, then he found love again after the moon saw him suffering and gave him mercy. He fell in love with a human and got children. At this time there were now many packs separated everywhere so the children set out to join packs as their father always wanted but the curse was still applicable on every one of them.
Millions of years later.
I sat in my room, sad, broken, disappointed thinking about everything that had happened to me. I was the unluckiest wolf in the world. I brought out my pillow and started crying into it.
This is the worst day of my life.
“you mean our lives.” My wolf answered.
I just hate everyone.
“including me.”
How could they kick me out of my pack, that’s so unfair ugh I hate Remy so much.
“but he’s the alpha.”
Fuck him, I hate that word alpha don’t you ever say that word again.
“alpha, alpha, alpha!”
Really, how can you not be sad?
“I move on, you should too being a rogue isn’t that bad.”
For you, you’re in my head.
“unless you let me out.”
I just need some time to myself.
I heard knocking, someone was at the door. I stood up, wiped my tears took a quick look at my mirror making sure I wasn’t looking horrible and went to open the door.
“is it true Ivy?” Tina said entering my room.
“yeah it’s nothing.” I was trying to be brave, but I wasn’t good at pretending at all.
“that’s not nothing that’s terrible, what did Remy say you did?”
“because I’m an omega.”
“it’s because you’re the only omega in the pack, if there were a good number of the omegas in the pack he wouldn’t send all of you away, I’m really sorry.”
“it’s no big deal.”
“I’m so sorry, I will always be by your side no matter what.”
“you’re the best friend ever.” I said hugging my best friend with tears in my eyes.
What would I do without her?
“and me.”
“what are you going to do now.” Tina said still in my embrace.
“I’m going to move on.”
“you mean join another pack.”
“what’s the use they’ll just kick me out again I’m going to be a rogue.” I said biting my lip, the word rogue made my wolf howl.
CHAPTER ONE
2 years later…
I went into the bar dragging my feet on the floor, I had really lost many things in my life. I needed to wash my sadness away with anything available no matter what it would cost me.
Was it wrong to be an omega, was it wrong to be weak, was it wrong to be…
“no, no and no.”
I just need to drink.
“drinking won’t help you.”
It will.
“you just need to be strong.”
No, I lost the only person I loved in this world after my mother.
“I’m really sorry about Tina, but you forgot to count me.”
I got kicked out of my pack, I’m wanted in America, I’ve been kicked out of two more packs just because I’m an omega.
“you aren’t banned from America because you’re an omega.”
It doesn’t make a difference.
“you just need to rest and fix up your life, our life.”
I need a drink.
I took the last seat to the left at the counter.
“give me a cup.” I said as the attendant gave me a glass cup of their best beer.
“just don’t get drunk.”
I drank thinking about how messed up my life was if only I could wish my problems away that would have been amazing.
“it’s not real.” The man sitting beside me said, he was talking to a group of some other men at his left side, he had a rough beard and he smelt of beer, too much beer.
“of course it is, people have found the map.” A man with long blonde hair said hitting the table.
“that’s just
a made up story, the wishing stone doesn’t exist.”
As I heard Wishing Stone, I grew more interested in their conversation, what in the world is the wishing stone.
“my grand father found one of the maps but it got destroyed I held it with my own hands.”
“yeah right, I’m sure it’s just an old pirate map for a game you found.”
“it’s true but there are many places where the different maps are hidden.”
“tell me one.” The disagreeing man said uninterested.
“there’s a map somewhere in the Naga temple in Tanzania.”
I’ve heard of that temple.
“mm mm I believe you, why don’t you go to Tanzania and get it.” The man said laughing.
“what I’m not crazy there are many death traps in that place.” The man said taking a sip of his drink.
“stop joking and let’s talk about something relevant.”
“you still don’t believe me.”
“no person in his normal senses would believe you Jerry.” The man said hitting his shoulder.
Lizzy did you hear that.
“yeah and so, wait a minute I hope you’re not thinking what I’m thinking.”
We should find the wishing stone.
“are you nuts, did you really believe that crap?”
Kinda, the man looks really convincing.
“did you look at the way he’s dressed he’s definitely a psycho.”
I have nothing to loose, I have no life, no love, no family, nothing.
“but that doesn’t mean you should go on a wild goose chase.”
But it’s a good reason too.
“what do you want to wish for anyway?”
I want to wish that I wouldn’t be an omega anymore.
“really?”
Yes.
“I hope you’re not taking me with you.”
Do you have anywhere else to go?
“I wish I did. Which money will you use to take us to Africa?”
I know someone.
“oooh, are we really going there?”
Yup.
I finished my drink and stood up from my seat and was about to walk away but I heard someone whistle sexily like whooo hooo, those kind of that the boys do when they see a sexy lady and want to entice them. I turned back to see the dude trying to flirt with me, tall, black hair, pink lips and the most handsome figure.
Do you think he’s the one.
“I don’t feel the bond.”
Me neither.
“let’s go.”
Let’s just wait and see.
“is something wrong Mister?” I said raising a brow at the handsome dude, I could smell his scent he was definitely a wolf.
“and you thought you were the only wolf in Europe ha!”
“they call me Octavius.”
“hi Octavius, bye Octavius.”
“wait a second sexy.” He said holding my hand before I could take a step farther from him.
“what do you want?” I said rudely.
“what do you need?”
“I need you to leave me and let me walk away.”
“are you sure I can give you a lot of money if you follow me inside the inner room.” He said smirking and winking.
“I’ve already had sex today.”
“really when?”
Just watch.
“oh really, let me give you five more rounds.” He said trying to bring his lips towards me but I kicked him right on his knee.
He still held his grip on me and I put my game on. I twisted his hand with my other hand and kicked him on the chest making him fall.
“what the heck…” the guy said but was cut in by me.
“Don’t be surprised.” I said as I walked out of the bar of staring people.
He thought he could pick on a weak omega.
“he doesn’t know you’re an omega, I still wonder how you’re that strong, Omega’s can’t do what you did.”
Let’s just say it’s a gift.
“
I rolled my eyes and went over to my car, what would I do without my sweet sweet beautiful car. I started the car and drove, the cool midnight wind gushed through my hair and my whole body. I took a deep cold breath. I wasn’t sure whether going to Jethro’s house was the best thing to do but I needed that money and I wasn’t going to run away again. I had a 45 minute drive before I parked in the front of a cream painted one storey building quietly, the fence was short, the lights were on and there were two cars parked inside. The compound was spacey and simple no gardens just hard cold cement.
“are you sure this is a good idea?”
We’re going to find out soon.
I went through the back door and was able to open it with one of my wolf claws. The door creaked quietly as it opened slowly. I went inside and closed it back then I tip toed upstairs Jethro was definitely downstairs and what I needed was up. I made sure that every step I took up the stairs made not a single sound. I got upstairs and released one of long claw nails to open the room door, anytime I did that my blue eyes would turn to light shiny green, that was the color of Lizzy’s eyes. I opened the door and went into the room, I took a short time to look out the window.
I could totally jump out of the window if he comes in.
“just know I’m staying back if you do.”
You wish.
I opened his cupboard where he used to hang his suits and ties, he had a lot.
“why can’t you just forgive him.”
No way, he’s owing me money and I’m taking it back without giving him sex.
“who knows it may be fun.”
Really?
“I regretted it the minute I said it.”
I then saw the red button right on the top of his wooden cupboard I licked my finger and pushed it and a secret passageway opened up.
Eureka.
I walked inside, the place was dark and creepy. Jethro was definitely a psycho and he had a lot of money too, it would fill his whole secret room. I switched on my phone light and walked inside, there were no rats inside only spiders, insects. I was able to get to the end of the passageway, all I had to do was open the big wooden door, stuff some Euros in my bag and get the hell out of there, he wouldn’t even know if money was missing. I opened the door easily and behold a whole room of different currencies of money filled the place, I was sure I could swim inside all the money but I was also sure Jethro would have done that once or twice. I was able to pack a good amount of the money in my black bag, a lot.
I think that’s enough. Let’s go.
“you’re the one with the legs now, aren’t you.”
I walked out of the passageway quietly and got out of the cupboard locking it up just when I was about to turn the knob of the door and open it I heard footsteps and talking. They were coming upstairs.
Oh no,
I switched off the lights and looked down outside the window.
“no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no there’s no way I’m jumping down there with you.”
Do we have a choice?
“uhm yeah, we could just sleep with Jethro, I regret saying that too.”
I’m going in 3…2….1.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath then jumped out of the window. I wanted to scream but I just had to hold it in I was expecting to fall on hard ground but I fell on something, it wasn’t the ground it was something else. I opened my eyes gently and found myself sitting on a tree, and men that hurt.
“nice.” I said as I climbed down the tree gently trying my best not to make too much noise.
I was about to enter the car when I heard the front door open and saw Jethro come out of the house. He looked me in the eye angrily and I smiled, winked at him then drove off.
“Ivy!!!” he shouted with fury.
That was the last I heard of him before I hit the road.
“whooo hoooo!” I said happily as I turned on my radio and listened to some rock music, it was really catchy.
We won’t be able to go to our house because Jethro would be waiting for us so we would need to get an inn.
“ugh I hate inns.”
You haven’t even been to one before, I just like calling hotels inns.
“I hope that’s the case.” Lizzy said sighing.
I got a decent hotel to stay in that night, there was no way Jethro was going to find me here, he may be stinky rich but he wasn’t well connected. I sat down in front of my mirror and combed my medium length blonde hair with a comb for curls, it wasn’t exactly blonde the roots of my hair were black but my hair was curly blonde and I loved it that way. I then jumped on my bed, the place was cool, my bed was soft and this was the perfect environment to sleep away.
Good night Lizzy.
“good night Ivy.” Lizzy said yawning.
We both went to a deep sleep.
“wake up sleepy head.”
“uh what?” I said rubbing my eyes and bringing out a big and loud yawn stretching my hands.
“I’m sure your breath must be horrible.”
When last did you brush your teeth?
“a ha ha you’re so funny now get up and let’s board a ticket to Africa.”
Yesterday you were saying it’s a bad idea and we should just sleep and fix up our life.
“I want an adventure too.”
I rolled my eyes, stood up, brushed my teeth, showered and dressed up. I didn’t need to pack my clothes from my old house. Nothing there was useful for me, just old clothes, pictures of those I loved that were now gone and memories, a lot of memories. I left the hotel and went to the nearest airport taking my baby with me.
“you mean your car.”
That’s what I said.
“you said your baby.”
My car is my baby.
I was able to get my ticket and in two days time I would be going to Africa. Nothing interesting happened during those two days, oh yes something did happen how could I forget. I was in a restaurant minding my own business when another guy came my way putting on a smirk.
Not again.
“at least he’s a human.”
I hate humans.
“but you’re surrounded by them.”
You didn’t let me finish, I hate humans because they’re too boring and I hate wolves more because they’re wicked.
