I was always told the same thing by all the bullies in the pack: I was just an abandoned child hated by my parents. Moonlight Pack took me in and raised me or so they like to claim but it was the Omegas who raised me. With no way of raising my rank, I remained an Omega.
The bullies got to me even if I tried to act tough. When I did cry I was all alone… until she reached out a hand to me. From the moment I met Daisy, I wanted to protect her. She was like a big sister to me back then but grew into my first crush quickly.
What can I say? She was a lovely girl who cared so much about others while also being beaten down. I never understood why she was targeted so much. Should I be the lowest ranked? I had no family after all while she did. That thought was naive though as they never saw her as family.
I could do nothing but watch as she was broken down and bullied. I wanted to help her so bad but I had no power and no one took me seriously. I wonder if they would have if they knew what I’d become.
The day I found Daisy in that tub, my wolf Victor awakened in me and I felt more power than I thought was possible. I was able to pick up her body like it was nothing and I could even stand up to Tristian.
As time passed, I found myself getting stronger. “You’re not an Omega, Samuel.” Victor always told me. “You’re meant to be second in command, a powerful Beta. One day you’ll find your place.”
What is my place though? I longed to go after Daisy but not because of a crush. Her image remained in my mind to this day. I want to make sure she’s alive and well. She deserves the world and to be happy. With a wolf that strong, I bet she’d make a wonderful Luna into someone’s pack.
When I wake up on my eighteenth birthday, I feel a weight being lifted off my shoulders. I can finally leave this pack behind and go searching for Daisy. I get ready and step outside before I freeze.
A scent reaches my nose and I feel intoxicated for a moment. ‘Mate!’ I hear Victor say but I stay hidden. As I look around, I see someone frantically searching around and my heart sinks. Victor starts to growl his excitement gone as well.
What a sick joke! How can Dahlia be my mate? I quickly leave and head over to the other Omegas. I need to reject the pack before she finds me because I don’t think I’ll be able to hold back if she does.
I help the other Omegas one last time when Freda beams, “Congratulations on your eighteenth birthday, Sammy!” Oh, that dreaded nickname… Daisy was the first to call me that then it spread like wildfire.
“Thanks! Today’s a big day for me. I need to go and find the Alpha.” I say while finishing up with the dishes. Victor paces around restlessly in my head. I know he’s conflicted about Dahlia and Sunny but I do know for a fact that he hates them just as much as me. The choice is obvious.
“Sammy… you’re really going through with this?” Freda asks. “We all love you. Do you really have to go?” The sadness in her voice makes my heart ache and I look at everyone. I know they’ll miss me and I’ll miss them too but I’ve already made my decision.
“I don’t belong here. And I have someone I want to find.” I shake my head and chuckle. “I’m a thorn in their side anyway. Only you all will miss me and I apologize for this… but I need to follow my own path.”
My feelings for Daisy are unclear at this point but I won’t hold her back. I’m willing to be her hopeless follower if it means I can remain by her side. I’ll be her Beta if she’s my Luna if that’s even possible.
Once I finish up, I leave the kitchen and nearly run into someone. I snap my eyes up and blink. “Oh. There you are, Alpha. I’d like to speak with you in private. If not, I can talk out here as well.” Tristian stares with an unreadable look on his face.
I see him bare his teeth for a moment before he shrugs. “Fine. Follow me.” Then we start to walk. After some time, he

suddenly speaks. “You know that even if you go after her, she’ll never love you.”
I stop and Victor growls loudly in my head. What right does he have to tell me that? “So what? What I do with my time after I leave doesn’t concern you in the slightest. If I want to follow her to the ends of the world, then I will. She does nothing to do with you anymore. Not after even her wolf rejected you.”
I see his eyes flash in rage and I silently dare him to attack me. Then that scent reaches my nose again and I grit my teeth. Damn it! I guess I can’t escape this.
“Mate!” Dahlia growls as she makes her way closer to me. I glare at her as I feel sick to my stomach. How dare she call me that! My skin crawls and I wish to scrub my skin raw.
