CHAPTER 1 The Agreement

Lily Bray stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. Her skin glowed from her previous run with the pups of the pack. Even though she was the daughter of the Alpha, she enjoyed helping out with the pups.

'You should wear the red dress,' Dina, her wolf, suggested.

'You're just being petty,' Lily replied as she looked at the dresses on her bed. The festive red would be the best choice since all her other dresses were too bright for the winter. She picked it up and looked at herself in the mirror.

'No, I'm not. Matthew said we look nice in red. We should wear it! It's also one of the colors in his pack,' Dina added.

Lily smiled at the thought of wearing the colors of the Grey Blood Pack. She, of course, was going to be their Luna after the mating ceremony. The very thought of it made her blush. Who would've thought that she would be mated to a future Alpha?

'We deserve it, no matter our rank! Matthew doesn't care that we are an Omega, so we shouldn't care anymore either,' Dina said confidently, 'Put on the red dress.'

Lily didn't need to be convinced as she quickly began to get dressed. She could hear the clicking of heels and immediately knew who it was before she heard the voice.

Lily, what's taking you so long? Her sister, Brandy, yelled from outside her bedroom door.

Coming! Lily quickly put on lip gloss and smoothed out the wrinkles in her festive red dress before rushing to the door. She opened it to see Brandy standing there looking uninterested as always.

Took you long enough, Brandy said. She looked her up and down and her eye twitched slightly before saying, Cute dress. Anyone that didn't know Brandy would have thought she was complimenting Lily, but Lily knew better. Brandy disapproved of everything she wore and did.

You're just upset that you couldn't find the dress in your size, Lily retorted. She knew that Brandy was looking at the dress. It wasn't her finest moment to be so petty, but she found some satisfaction from it as Brandy always got what she wanted.

Brandy replied with a scowl, That dress is old news. I found one that was much better and more fitting for me. She walked past Lily, making sure to bump her with her shoulder. Lily resisted the urge to snarl. She would not let her ruin the evening.

Brandy wore a low-cut black form-fitting dress with black heels. Her hair was pulled up high in a ponytail. She had blush on her cheek, and she wore bright red lipstick.

'She looks like a street walker and ugly at that,' Dina commented.

'That's not nice,' Lily responded.

'It's the truth. You should hear what Mable says about you. Brandy can't even dress decently at home. Who is she flaunting for?' Dina countered.

Dina never liked Brandy as she tormented Lily growing up. Everything had to be her way and if Lily resisted, Brandy made sure to hurt her in some way. As soon as Lily could shift, Dina made it her business to take a swipe at Brandy.

Lily and Brandy entered the dining hall where her parents were. They were sipping wine and talking but stopped as soon as they entered.

Oh, you look so lovely! her mother said to Brandy.

Lily had to refrain from rolling her eyes as Brandy practically glowed from her mother's compliment. Brandy gave Lily a smug look before sitting next to their mother.

Her mother gave Lily a momentary glance before saying, Oh, Lily. You know, red isn't a good color for you, but at least you've been eating well at school. How are your studies going?

I passed all my exams. Straight As again, Lily said happily.

Lily sat down in front of Brandy, her mother, and her father. She thought it was odd that they were sitting across from her but pushed the thought out of her mind.

Her mother casually remarked, That's lovely, honey, before changing the subject as if concluding a formality. Do you have that dress I mentioned, Brandy? The one in white?

Yes, I did. I got it at a discount too. We had a credit once we returned the other dress, Brandy explained.

Lily lost her enthusiasm when she understood that, yet again, no one was interested in what she had accomplished. She poured herself a glass of wine and downed it. Lily looked at her father, who seemed too busy to greet her while he was looking at his phone.

'Do not worry about them. We have mates now. They will be our family,' Dina said to cheer Lily up. Lily only had to look forward to returning to her dorm and the upcoming mating ceremony. She would be where she was wanted, with Matthew.

Her mother and Brandy had been conversing when her father cleared his throat, drawing their attention to him. Her father said, I am happy that you are doing well in your studies, Lily, but there won't be a need to go back in the Spring.

What do you mean? Lily asked.

Now that you are mated, it is not a productive use of your time. You must get ready to be a devoted mate, Her father responded.

Well, I can do both. I have already worked it out. I will be able to attend Luna lessons during the day and school at night, Lily explained. She spent a lot of time and effort with the academic advisor to make that arrangement.

That money could be used for something else, like your sister's mating ceremony, her father proposed.

Brandy! You have a mate?! That's exciting! Why didn't you tell me? We can go dress shopping together! Lily exclaimed happily.

Brandy scoffed and said, You won't need a dress. Daddy, just tell her already. This is just sad.

Tell me what? Lily said, looking confused as she turned to look back at her father. Tell me what, Dad?

I had a discussion with Alpha Jack of the Grey Blood Pack. His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully, Lily's father explained, And that is not you.  

Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?

In three days, you will attend the rejection ceremony, and then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter.

CHAPTER 2 You're an Omega

Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.

You're joking, Lily said. You have to be joking. 

Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter.

When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!

Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress, her mother explained, and it's not like you won't have a mate.

It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you, Brandy said smugly. 

Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.

Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.

Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept, her mother stated.

Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on! Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.

Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!

Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.

Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you… Tiffany started.

Lily interjected and said, Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes.

Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?

No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over, Lily pleaded.

Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you, Tiffany offered.

No. I will come to you, Lily said, Thank you. She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.

Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.

The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.

They told you, Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to.

It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me, Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.

I won't let them force me, Lily declared. I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy.

Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.

Then, let me help you, Mira said, I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend.

You can't. If they find out…

They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die, Mira countered, interrupting her. Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go.

Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.

Thank you, Mira, Lily said.

Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.

Lily, what's going on? What happened? Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.

They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony, Lily managed to say.

What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse, Tiffany exclaimed.

They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega, Lily stated.

That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together, Tiffany stated.

They don't see it that way. They… Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.

Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks? Tiffany asked.

Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.

Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, I'm okay now.

You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,

Elope?

CHAPTER 3 The Fated Mate's Betray

Are you sure you don't want me to come with you? Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.

No, I need to do this alone, Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.

Well, you know where my spare key is, Tiffany said.

Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine, Lily said.

Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.

Tiffany hugged her again and said, Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack.

Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, 10 Armstead Place. The cab driver nodded and drove off.

The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.

Ma'am, are you okay? the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.

Yes, I am fine. Thank you, Lily answered. Just having a little panic attack, I think.

'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'

Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.

'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.

The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.
