The Rejected Omega: On Your Knees, Alpha

"How dare you insult my sister? You have a death wish? You child of a bitch!"

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Three loud slaps hit a smallish, skinny, tanned, blackhaired girl. She fell to the floor from the impact and quickly knelt, despite the stinging pain she felt.

"I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. Please forgive me. I'll never do that again." she begged with her face to the ground.

Her clothes were ragged and faded. Her hair was tangled with dirt in it and covered her face.

Her whole body was covered in cuts and bruises. Some scars that had barely healed from last night's beatings had been reopened.

How painful were they?

She hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon and now it was almost evening. She was already super weak before taking this beating.

"Please have mercy on me. I was stupid. Please, have mercy!" she cried in a hoarse voice.

The person who beat her was the gamma's son, William Woods.

He was just one of the many pack members that beat her up either for fun or to relieve stress. She is a punching bag to them. Some just used lame excuses to hit her.

She could not resist. She had nowhere to go and wouldn't survive outside the pack, as she'd become a rogue.

She has been here for as long as she can remember. She isn't a member of this pack. How did she get here then?

Let me tell you a little history.

"Lavana, hun! Come.get your food." a brownhaired woman called out from.the kitchen.

"Yes, mama!" a little girl of around 4 with black hair ties into two small ponytails, as her hair was short, ran into the kitchen and hugged her mum's left leg.

"I can't wait to eat your food. It smells so good." the little one said.

"Hmmn! I'm not sure you like it. My princess must be pretending." teased the mother.

"No, no, no! I'm dead serious, mama. Let me show you my sincerity." the little one stopped hugging her thigh and retreated 7 ft away from the mom.

"Watch this lady!" she said and started dancing.

"Whoa! Mama sees your sincerity. Come, let me hug the princess." the mum squatted and spread her arms.

Lavana ran straight into her arms and placed her small hands around her mom's neck.

"I love you, mummy!" she giggled.

"Yeah, my Lavana loves me best."

Suddenly, there were sounds of shooting along with howls.

A yell was heard.

"Warriors, the pack is under attack."

The mom trembled in her heart but tried not to let the girl see her worried.

"Mommy, is there trouble?" Lavana asked.

"Not a big one. Just some flies. Don't worry, daddy and the other strong warriors will drive them away from here. It will be a piece of cake. Now why don't you hide in the secret room while mommy goes to watch the battle. I promise you, I'll gist you all the interesting parts." the mom said.

"Ok, mummy." the girl broke the hug and her mum gave her the food.

"You'll have to eat it in there and here... you can play games on my phone to kill time. What do you think?"

"Mum, I'll play Candy Crush and then Princess dress up."

"Alright! Anything you wanna play, you can."

"Can I dance too?"

"Yup. But make sure the music isn't loud." her mum cautioned.

"Okay mummy." the little one nodded and her mum pecked her forehead.

"Let's go!"

>>>>>>

After hiding the little one in the secret room underground, the mom braced herself to go out of the home.

"Brandon, my love, I'm sorry, but I can't leave you out there all alone. I'll have to disobey you this time." she said as her eyes turned grey.

She transformed into a black wolf and ran outside.

She saw that their side was on the losing side. Her husband had been killed along with the others. Only a few were still fighting but they were injured badly.

She shed a tear and her eyes turned red.

"I might as well take you down with me." she rushed at the intruders and started killing many of them. But one of them was able to bite her neck.

She fell to the ground and transformed back to human. Her hair covered her face.

She looked at the intruders who had also returned to their human form.

"You won't get away with this, Alpha Blake. The retribution wil come to you. I swear." she yelled.

"Shut her mouth. The air isn't fresh anymore." said a bulky man with red hair and green eyes.

"Yes Alpha!" one of the surviving intruders, the winning Alpha's subordinate, replied.

He walked towards the lady who started retreating.

"You are one pathetic, weak pack. We asked you to give us some of your land and you'll get money in return. But you claim it's your ancestral land. Can't be given up, right? Now look at you. Only 7 of you are left. And even so, none of you will live to see tomorrow. This could have been avoided. It's quite a shame that many morons abound on earth." the Alpha said with fake pity in his eyes.

"You won't get away with this. You won't!" she screamed and tried to transform, to no avail. The bite wound on her neck hadn't healed yet.

"Stop struggling, woman." the intruder Alpha's subordinate said and held her by the throat. She was struggling but eventually gave up when she couldn't take it anymore.

The Alpha's subordinate also killed the other 6 warriors who could barely stand.

"Congratulations, this land is now yours." the subordinate knelt and bowed along with the other 50 warriors.

"Congratulations, Alpha!" they chorused.

"Alpha Blake smiled and told them to rise.

"Clean this place up. Next weel, we are moving some pups here."

"Aye, Alpha!" the subordinates chorused again.

"Alpha, there is this one who had been hiding." a new voice was heard.

It was Alpha Blake's Beta, Lucas Syner who had blonde hair.

He was dragging a girl who was crying and struggling to get away from him to no avail.

"Let me go! Let me go, you bad man." she cried.

"Bring her to me." Alpha Blake commented.

The Beta tossed Lavana to the Alpha's feet.

He then scanned her with his eyes that had turned red.

"She is an omega!" he announced. "Let's keep her as our trophy. She will be a slave and punching bag to our pack. This is a tiny compensation for losing our beloved warriors." he said and kicked the child in the stomach.

She flew from the impact and fell among the corpses of her pack members.

She started crying bitterly.

"Mummy... where are you? Come, save me... mommy!" she cried as she spat out blood.

She looked at the dead bodies and found her dad and her mom dead and separated from each other.

"No!" she cried.

At that moment, the Beta was coming towards her and she starting retreating.

She saw her playmate, Austin Cararner, the Gamma's son who had promised to marry her jokingly yesterday. He was dead too. Just like the others. She's the only one alive. No, she didn't want to die in their hands. She wanted to live so she can take revenge.

"Hun, if you keep retreating, I'll have no choice but to end you." Lucas said.

"Get away from me. You are evil. You killed my parents. You killed Austin. I hate you. I hate you all." she yelled and managed to stand up.

"One day, I'll avenge my pack." she swore to herself and started running with all her might.

Lucas easily caught her back to the Alpha who gave her a tight slap, causing her to spit out blood and 3 teeth.

"Let me go..." the Alpha slapped her again.

"This is the kind of life you will live until you expire, kiddo. Tie her up and take her back to the pack. The rest of you, clean up this mess!" he ordered, and they bowed.

"Yes, Alpha!" they chorused, and Alpha Blake left the scene.

Lavana watched him leave and cried.

She looked back at her dead pack members. Her mum and her dad couldn't even touch each other in their death. Austin and his mum died too. She was the only one left...

She will be beaten in the new pack she will be taken to. She will be a slave... how did life turn out like this.

Some minutes ago, she was playing games and then danced to music from her mom's earphones. She was having a blast with the food made by her mum too. Who knew that would be the last time she knew happiness?

>>>>>>>>>>

Raltonpack.

This is Alpha Blake's pack. The second strongest pack on the list of elite packs kept by the wolf council.

Lavana was introduced to the pack as the trophy and punching bag. No one was to show mercy to her.

From then on, anyone who felt like beating her up would come to her.

At first, she tried to resist but now, she has given up. Resisting means more beatings which will take a longer time to heal.

As an omega who hadn't shifted yet, her healing was the slowest!

After the Gamma's son was satisfied with beating her, he left and she collapsed to the floor in pain and exhaustion.

She had no more tears to shed. Her whole body trembled.

She struggled to crawl to the corner of the super tiny room she was given to stay in from the day she was taken to this damn pack.

It had no windows or a door to protect her from mosquitoes and other creeping animals.

She used a cloth thrown away by one of the omegas as a curtain and that was all.

She opened a nylon bag and took out some dried herbs that helped her to heal a little faster. She found these 4 years ago and started to dry them so that she can chew on them every day. It was very bitter but effective.

3 days later, it was the day the Alpha's son would turn 16 and also the day he would first shift into a werewolf and train himself further for the position of an Alpha, which would become his in two years time.

The Alpha threw a party which would last till 2 am the next day.

The Alpha's sole son named Chase, would show his wolf to them after being assisted by the Beta. This was the tradition.

The party started at 8 pm and everyone was invited. Except a certain somebody!

She was thankful no one was in the mood to beat her up today. Maybe Mother Luck decided to shine on her for a time. But she could expect more beatings tomorrow.

For now, she was thankful. Today was even her period! She didn't have the luxury of getting disposable pads every time. She often settles for some rags thrown in trash.

She'd wash and use them. It was better than nothing. Although many had seen her leak out sometimes coz she couldn't change out of her rags in time as she was busy receiving hits. She had to bear the mockery especially from the boys in the pack.

She lay on the cold floor in her tiny room and closed her eyes.

She clutched her belly and a tear escaped her eyelids.

She's so hungry right now and can't even rest coz of the pains she's eating. She was banned to even leave the room till tomorrow.

Would she even survive till then?

While she was lost in thoughts, a soothing voice was heard.

"Calm down, hun! We were asleep before. Now we are here. When we find our mate, we can leave this pack. The Alpha has no rule over the mate bond."

"Who are you? And where are you?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

"We are you. Give us two more years and we shall come out." the voice saida and faded.

"Please tell me. I want to know!" Lavana begged but got no reply.

She then sighed.

"What was that voice in my head? It is so calming, my pains have reduced too. I think I can survive till tomorrow now." she thought.

She wiped off her tears and managed to sit up.

"Could that voice be my wolf? She wants me to give her two years then I can shift? Will I be able to hold on till then? What am I saying? I've eaten all these for over a decade; what is two mere years? I can't wait to see her arrival. She said our mate would free us from this bondage... Is he an Alpha or... Oh I am so excited." a smile appeared on her parched lips.

Her dim eyes sparkled. Yes, she wasn't entirely hopeless. She had a mate, a powerful one who would rescue her from here. Then she'll take revenge and spare no newborn from this pack. All of them are scums like Alpha Blake they deserve to die a million times!

A fire was burning in her heart again. Yes, she must live... she had to live for her parents, for Austin, for her wronged pack members and for her wolf!

"Ralton pack, smile a little longer." she muttered and arranged her hair.

The pain had greatly reduced. She swore she could even do dance moves with itbut she had two left feet🤭

"Thank you, I can't wait for you to come out." Lavana whispered.

"Hehe, it's nothing." the voice replied again and faded

Excited, Lavana tried to initiate a conversation in her mind but there was no reply. But it confirmed it. Her wolf is just sleeping!

When it was 11 pm, she heard the Alpha son screaming.

A future Alpha's shift is very painful but once he can get through it will be easier to shift from then on. He won't feel much pain to transform. But for omegas... every shift is painful so they only shift during the full moon or when it is demanded.

One fact too is all werewolf have this blur in their eyes. When they shift to human, they will be naked. So the moon goddess blurred the private places so only their mate can see how they really look. But for someone who hasn't shifted like her, everything will be seenno blur.

"I'm so sleepy..." she yawned and lay back down.

The Alpha's son's first shift and the stupid celebration party had nothing to do with her.

Soon sleep too her to lala land. She hadn't slept so well in decades!

Meanwhile at the celebration party, everyone had been having a good time but became worried when the held bones snapping.

The Alpha's son was transforming. The Beta quickly carried him out to a room prepared for this purpose.

"Don't worry, Chase. You'll be alright." he consoled.

"I know that. Let's just get this over with. Come out faster you damn wolf." Chase barked.

His bones started snapping and cracking at a fast rate. This pain was eating him alive but he had no energy to scream. His heartbeat had increased and his eyes changed from green to red.

"Turn around!" Chase's wolf had taken over.

The Beta obeyed. It's not like he's the one shifting. Hmph.

1 hour later.

The Beta turned around to see a black wolf with three golden stripes on his back.

He immediately went on his knees.

"May I know the future Alpha's wolf." he asked.

"Call me, Ivan." was the wolf's reply in mind link.

"Can we see the pack now?" the Beta asked again.

"Yup!"

Getting this permission, the Beta led the way to the party.

The pack members cheered and danced in seeing the large, fearsome wolf. This was their future Alpha.

"Ah, he's so robust!"

"Look at that shiny black fur!"

"It's the stripes for me. His legs are sturdy too."

the girls said excitedly.

Some hadn't shifted. The ones who had shifted didn't hear their wolf cry "MATE!" so they knew he wasn't theirs. But maybe someone else was, but who was the person?

Alpha Blake walked to his son's wolf and patted him on the head.

"Good job!" he said with red eyes.

"Alpha, his name is Ivan." the Beta said.

"Woah... such a manly name!"

"Ah, Cupid's arrow!"

Some girls said dramatically.

Others shook their head at the lovestruck ladies.

"Shift!" Alpha Blake commanded and the black wolf transformed back to Chase in three minutes.

He stood without clothes and faced the pack. His eyes changed from red to green.

The pack could see a blur in his private places. They couldn't see his nipples, navel and abdomen down to his thighs clearly.

"This is your future Alpha." the Alpha raised his son's left hand up, and the audience cheered.

His mom, Luna Anita, went to hug him.

"My dear son." she whispered.

"Have you found your mate?" she asked.

"My mate isn't here, mum. She must be from another pack." Chase said to the hearing of all.

"Maybe she is among these unshifted hotties." the Luna said and Chase nodded.

"Mum, I'm a bit embarrassed." he mind linked his mom.

"But no one can see you bare darling. There's a blur." she replied back in mind link.

"That doesn't apply to parents and doctors." he mumbled.

"Hahaha. So, my son is this shy?"

"I'm not. Only my mate should see my body without the blur."

"Okay, my boy! Let's get you clothed. " she broke the hug and suddenly carried him on her shoulder.

"Hey mum. Put me down. This is embarrassing!" he complained.

"Son, it's tradition." she said with a smile.

"What nonsense tradition? You just want to treat me like a child."

"But you are a child. You'll be a man only when you are Alpha and get your mate."

Chase felt defeated. This mum of his...

"Alright, let's have a blast people!" the Beta yelled after the Alpha had returned to his designated seat.

3 years later.

Lavana chewed the special herbs to heal faster. She had just been beaten by two 15yearold unshifted girls.

"I'm already 19 and still haven't shifted. What the hell is going on?" she thought in worry.

Since last year, the voice in her head did not talk to her at all. Now it's already 5 months into this year and she still didn't shift.

"Sorry, dear! We might have overslept, but we are ready now. Get into position. We are coming." said the familiar gentle voice.

Lavana's eyes lit up.

"So I'm ready to shift? I can't wait to find our mate." she said with excitement.

Soon, she'll be out of this shit hole of a pack for good.

But then, a question came to her mind.

"Hey, why do you always say 'we' instead of 'I' or do are you referring to us both?" Lavana asked.

"Find a secluded place within ten minutes. You will get the answer you seek, hun."

"Alright." Lavana rose. She arranged her clothes and hair before taking one last look at the bag at the extreme. She smiled and then ran out of her room.

Those who saw her hissed. They assumed she must be looking for a place to pee or poop.

>>>>>>>

She ran to the woodshed and stopped to catch her breath.

Well, she normally has to split wood for the pack for years. No one bothers to come here unless it's almost winter.

She quickly locked the door of the woodshed and hid behind the pile of firewood.

"Alright, can I get the answer now?" Lavana asked.

"Yes, dear!" replied the voice.

"Crawl position." the voice ordered, and she obeyed.

"Remember this; You must never scream throughout the transformations." the voice warned.

"Transformations? I don't get you." she frowned.

"Speak no more. Save your strength instead for what is ahead." the voice said and suddenly, she felt her backbone crack. That really hurt. She'd prefer to be beaten rather.

This damn wolf of hers told her not to scream. But how would she be able to do that? The pain is indescribable. She felt like she was thrown into a furnace to die.

"Can't you just seal my voice?" she asked.

"As you wish!"

More of her bones snapped, cracked and lengthened. Her teeth all fell out as her ears lengthened.

Bloody tears flowed from her eyes as she tried to scream, but no sounds came out. Her wolf had sealed her voice; just as she had ordered.

"Don't resist the pain. Let it crush you, allow it to swallow you whole, hun. Save your strength for the other two transformations."

"Eh? 2 more? Into what she asked in her head.

"Shush! You will know soon."

Lavana felt defeated.

So she'll transform three times. Into what? Three different wolves or something else? What was she even changing to now?

She felt terrified already.

"Calm your thoughts or the pain of the other two transformations will be tripled." the voice cautioned.

"But..."

"This is your last warning, Lavana." the voice sounded harsh this time and she stopped asking. Better focus on getting through the two transformations.

Her clothes ripped and fell to the ground. She grabbed the sand along with the few grass growing on it.

Her mouth kept opening and closing.

This is just the first transformation and she felt like dying already and there's are still two moe waiting for her? How would she survive it?

"Don't think too much. Just focus, hun. Once you're done, you'll be dancing." said the voice soothingly.

>>>>>>>

30 minutes later, she stood on all fours. Instead of her usual skinny hands, what she saw were large paws.

She looked at her paws. They were white. She must have transformed into an Omega.

"All that pain for an Omega wolf. Others transformation isn't even up to this." she complained.

"Lavana, now you've transformed into me. You and I are one now. Call me, Pamela." said the voice.

"Well, Pamela. I need answers. Stop evading my questions, alright!"

"Well, you'll get it after you go through the third transformation, Lavana." another voice spoke, startling her.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Oceana. Right now, I'll need you to go to the stream in the pack. Don't worry, no one will see you. You are currently invisible until the third changing."

"Fine!" she transformed back to human in 5 minutes and opened the door of the woodshed.

"Shift!" Pamela ordered.

"Again?" Lavana raised an eyebrow.

"Stop being annoying, kiddo." said Oceana unhappily.

"Kiddo? How old are you guys?" she asked.

"Pamela is the youngest. She is two centuries old." replied Oceana. "I'm 4 centuries old. The third sister is a thousand year old."

"Eh?" Lavana was rendered speechless and defeated. So they were old monsters? Sigh!

She immediately transformed and headed towards the stream speedily.

On reaching there, she returned to human on Pamela's order.

"Get in the water. You must reach the streambed." ordered Oceana.

"But I can't swim!" she complained.

"Chap, don't test my patience."

"Okay, Okay. Calm down, Oceana. Anger is bad for your health." she said as she stepped into the water.

"Those words are for weaklings. Anger brings out the fighter in you, chap." Oceana said unhappily.

"Don't call me chap."

"Fine, I'll call you toddler then."

"Just call me chap instead." Lavana said in defeat. This second voice was eccentric. How would the last one be like? She didn't wanna know!

She entered the water and began to swim to the stream bed. She could surprisingly see well underneath water. When she finally reached the stream bed, Oceana told her to sit beside a large rock and hug it.

When she obeyed, Oceana told her to repeat the words she would say next after her.

"But I can't speak under water." Lavana said in her head.

"Say hello with your mouth."

Lavana skeptically agreed and said a "Hello!" water entered her mouth and she tried to close it.

"Keep it open, silly girl." Pamela ordered.

She couldn't resist and opened her mouth. She swallowed water and started to cough and struggle.

"Are you guys trying to kill me?" she asked in her head.

"No, you just need to embrace your next self. Now call my name wth your mouth." Oceana said.

Lavana did as was told and to her surprise, the water entering her mouth didn't hurt her anymore. It's like she's on land talking. She wasn;t choking anymore.

"Wow!" she said and it produced bubbles.

Her eyes lit.

"Am I... Is my second transformation gonna be a mermaid?" she asked excitedly.

"No, it will be a blue wolf." Pamela replied sarcastically. "Of course, you're gonna be a mermaid."

"Are you ready?" asked Oceana.

"More than ever!" Lavana replied.

She was so special. She's going to be a mermaid soon. How cool was that?

"Now I need you to repeat after me."

"Alright!"

"The stars smile, the clouds dance. The waters are peaceful, my folk are hopeful, the life force of my home is ever vibrant. My body is waiting. Oh sea goddess, where is my long awaited gift? Where is the beauty that make pearls dance around me you promised? Where is the sensational feeling?" Oceana said and Lavana repeated after her.

"Are my hopes gonna be dashed at the last minute? I wanna be the carp that leapt through the dragon gate!" Oceana said and Lavana repeated in a higher tone.

Immediately, she felt pain in her legs.

She felt her leg's bones break and her reform. Her legs became longer and fused together then continued to lengthen.

Scales started to appear starting from her waist . A large pink tail fin appeared along with fins on her thighs.

She felt like a thousand ants were eating her skin.

"This freaking hurts!" she cried.

"Save your strength. You will be developing gills soon." said Oceana.

"Will it affect my heart?" she asked in her head.

"Yup. It will." Pamela replied.

Lavana nearly fainted.

"Can I push the full transformation date?" she asked.

"Yup, but you can't push the third transformation. Might as well just do everything today." Oceana said heartlessly.

"Ah, I'm toast!"

"No, you can't be toasted. We're underwater. You can't be frozen either. It's not yet winter." said Pamela.

"You two are ganging up on me." she complained.

"Chap, you haven't met the third sis. It's better you reserve all your complaints for her." said Oceana. "Focus!" she added.

Lavana looked at her tail that was done transforming. It was purple with silver spiral designs and pink fins.

There were a few scales scattered on her belly and arms. Her ears were pointed like an elf.

Her eyes had become orange and her lips were pale blue. Her hair had reached her waist and was moving about in the water.

A pink sapphire gemstone was in the middle of her forehead.

She looked entirely different from the skinny Lavana everyone knew. Then the dreaded chest pain came.

"Don't remove your hands, chap. Keep hugging the rock." Oceana warned.

"This... is.. un... bearable!" she struggled to speak.

"Save your strength, chap. This is your last warning!" Oceana was pissed.

She felt something forming on the right side of her chest. Her chest heaved up and down as fast as her breath had become. But she dared not stop hugging the rock. Her survival depends on it.

30 minutes later.

She lay exhausted on the stream bed, exhaling slowly with her hand on her stomach. There was a blue tattoo of a scallop shell on her right shoulder.

"Congrats, hun. You and Oceana are one." said Pamela whose true form appeared in Lavana's head.

"Sigh! Should I be happy or anxious. My third shifting could be minutes away." she mumbled.

"Chap, you have to brace yourself. I won't be able to help you. Third sis has woken up." said Oceana.

"Eh? What is third sis?"

"Hun, you'll know when you're done with the last transformation. Goodluck!" Pamela said and vanished with Oceana, whose true form was identical to Lavana's current look except for the brown eyes and tanned skin in her merform.

"So after all I've gone through, you'd just ditch me at the last minute?" she thought.

"Girl, I'm awake. I need you to prepare. I don't have much time to waste with you."

Lavana heard a babyish voice.

The third spirit she'll join with is a baby? So this is the thousandyearold sis the other two were talking about?

The owner of the babyish voice came out, and she wasn't surprised to see that the spirit was short but was awed by the fact that it was a black dragon with a long purple horn.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up, girl." the dragon spoke in annoyance.

"Err... okay." she transformed back to human with a little difficulty and went into crawl position.

"There's nothing for you to recite like Oceana. I'll need you to dance."

"Eh? Dance?" she asked in disbelief. She never thought this was the requirement.

"You can't dance, plus your body is stiff, which is terrible to begin with. This dance is pretty hard but I have to teach you within an hour coz that's when the shifting starts." said the dragon. "By the way, call me Thora."

"Okay. So, how do I start the dance?" Lavana asked. She wanted to get it done quickly.

"I'm gonna teach you three dances. You must commit them to memory." Thora changed to her human form, which was a little girl wearing a purple lace gown. She looked really pretty and Lavana wondered how she would look after transforming. Would she look like Thora?

"Girl, I'll advise you to ditch those useless thoughts of yours. No time to waste. Get into horse stance position."

She quickly rose and obeyed Thora's order.

"You aren't doing it right. It would have been better if you were a gymnast." Thora complained nonstop and Lavana wondered if she was trying to teach or berate her.

Lavana rolled her eyes when she stared at the little girl's melons.

"What are you looking at? Harassment!" Thora cried with her hands covering her chest, causing Lavana to sigh.

"Now I see why those two escaped. Disloyal scums." she thought.

"Is the plant weighing 800kg. What's holding you back? Come on, eat it up! I don't have all day. We have 35 minutes left. Gosh!" Thora started pacing up and down.

Lavana felt drained.

This dragon was very annoying!

She ate the plant quickly, not even sparing the stems.

Once she was done, she saw Thora seated on the floor crosslegged.

"Hey Thora, I'm done. What's next?" she asked with impatience.

"Don't disturb me, girl. I'm thinking." replied Thora, in an annoyed tone.

Lavana widened her eyes in bewilderment.

"Seriously. You know we have less than 25 minutes and you wanna just waste it on thinking? Thinking about what?" she complained.

"Shush, I need a plant that could help make your butt look nicer after changing to a dragon. Don't disturb me." Thora warned.

Lavana felt defeated. This annoying Thora... Can she have more awareness of time? She's really gonna waste it on meaningless things like improving her butt size?

5 minutes later.

"Perfect!" Thora suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed in delight.

Lavana frowned.

"What now?" she asked in annoyance. Can they just get this done with?

"I found the perfect fruit for you. I can't believe it. It's been with us all along." Thora said happily and rose.

"So what damn fruit is it and how far is it from here?" Lavana asked without a care. She just accepted the fact that this little dragon was just here to waste time and watch her suffer.

"It's the one you just ate. I never knew it worked on butts too. Now our boobs and butt prob has been solved. Let's now progress to your face and your body skin. You are like some starved ghost's incarnation. I'll need you to eat plenty of..."

"Hey!" Lavana had to interrupt her.

"Enough of your suggestions. Teach me the damned dances and let's get on with the shifting. I'm exhausted already."

Thora gave her a menacing look, but Lavana refused to back down. She gave her a baleful look in return.

"Little dragon, I don't have time to waste with you. Hurry up!" she fired.

"Are you repeating my words? And how dare you call me little? I'm way older than your ugly ancestors." Thora spat.

"So what? It just means you are a monster then. Or should I say, old hag wearing baby skin?" Lavana taunted.

"Oh girl, I am gonna make you regret ever insulting me." Thora started performing a dance.

The movements seemed so easy and fluid, but to Lavana, it was like asking a pig to fly.

Thora suddenly stopped dancing. "There are 5 minutes left. No time to coach you. I already showed you the first dance. Here's the second one, Lavana."

"You finally call me by my name."

"You are stupid." Thora cussed and started performing another set of dance moves. These were harder and Lavana already had a headache.

"2 minutes left, but it's more than enough to show you the last dance. Watch intently, dummy."

Thora said and performed a dance that was fast, mesmerizing, and seductive. Lavana could swear her heart fluttered. This little dragon was born to dance. But then, the main issue had finally reared its head.

How was she even gonna perform the first dance?

Thora finished the dance doing obeisance, her hair covering a part of her face, the visible part was showing a sly smirk.

Lavana weakly applauded with many thoughts racing through her mind.

"Alright, I'm done. Hope you got the hang of it. I don't teach things twice. Now, pat your tummy."

"Eh?"

"Are you dumb? Pat your tummy!"

"You repeated your instruction just now."

"You..." Thora was left speechless.

Lavana patted her tummy." What's next?"

"You are about to transform. Pat your hips and thighs."

Lavana sighed and obeyed.

"What's with that attitude? You think I'm having fun here? Hug yourself!" Thora thundered.

"Good, now blink your eyes thrice... no... seven times."

"Why do I feel all these aren't even related to the transformation?" Lavana asked unhappily.

"Do as I tell you; I hate being questioned by weaklings."

"If you are so great, then why are you bound to me with the other two sisters?"

"Shut up, girl. Shake your butt. This is terrible. I knew your butt was lacking flesh, but I didn't know it was this shocking. Even a chalkboard has more meat. What kind of human are you?"

"Point of correction. I'm not a human." Lavana corrected as she tried to shake her hips.

Thora facepalmed. "I'm so unlucky!" she muttered. "Are you having fun. Shake those hips, dummy." she barked.

"Can't you see my effort?" Lavana fired back.

"Oh, effort! Where is it? Why don't I see it? Is it invisible? Look at me; I may be small but my hips don't lie." Thora started twerking and then stopped. "See that? You can't even shake your hips and make men drool. You are worse than pitiful."

"I quit. I don't want to be a dragon anymore. The other two are already a handful." Lavana stopped listening to Thora and instead sat crosslegged.

"You..." Thora pointed at Lavana, unable to say anything.

"I'll leave you to your fate then." she sat crosslegged and closed her eyes. She'd started meditating for real.

At that moment, Lavana's spine shot out. The backbone could be seen as the skin on her back was ripped open. Blood flowed out and mixed with the water.

She wanted to scream out her pain but couldn't as she felt her chest tightening along with her throat. Her teeth all fell out and her face started changing shape as her facial bones cracked and rearranged themselves. She clutched her neck that had begun to elongate.

Her whole body felt like she was being electrocuted. Her legs' bones snapped, cracked and started forming a bent backward C shape. Her feet then enlarged with long, sharp, silver toe nails. The same happened to her hands, only they were a little smaller.

She managed to crouch, and the transformation sped up. Sharp canine teeth grew out of her gums and her eyes reformed; causing bloody tears to escape and mix with the water.

Her rib cage broke as spikes came out of her hands and backbone. She felt something growing out of her butt crack along with spikes. It must be her tail!

"Damn you, Thora!" she cussed when she could finally talk. Scales started appearing on her feet, progressing fast to her face. She felt like 1000 ants were tickling and biting her at the same time.

Her eyes lit up as they had changed to gold.

Blood tickled down her nose and mixed with the water. She felt the pain subside and crashed to the streambed, causing some sand to move about before settling again.

Above her was her floating skin and blood.

They started gathering and soon formed a purple crystal, which forced its way into her mouth. She weakly swallowed it, but shockingly, it didn't go past her throat it seemed stuck.

She had a bad feeling about this.

She was proved right when the bones on her shoulder broke together with her legs.

"What is happening?" she thought in fear. Why were her bones reforming again?

The spikes on her body broke and fell off her body, including the scales. Her body grew bigger, along with her draconic tail.

Her face began to extend and her ears became pointed like an elf but it got covered with black scales.Her hair fell off and several rows of scale appeared on her scalp.

"ARGHH!" she hit the sand with her hands as her back bone elongated again.

"Thora, are you gonna watch me like this?" she asked in her heart as she rib cage started rearranging. Her teeth fell out and new ones grew out, sharp and pointy.

Scales started forming over her body in three rows. Two huge wings with spikes at the edges grew from her back.

The purple crystal that was stuck in her throat broke and she swallowed it.

Her eyes changed to purple and two horns came out of her head. She roared in anger and frustration and lightning came out of her mouth. Her horns lit up with a purple light and she increased in size again. New scales that were larger and sturdier than the earlier ones covered her from heck to tail. Her underpart was golden with red horizontal lines.

She stamped her leg on the stream bed causing a great amount of dust to scatter. They took a long time to settle.

At this moment, Thora opened her eyes and rose.

"Congratulations on shifting into a first phase dragon."

"First phase?" Lavana asked weakly.

"Well, we dragons must go through 3 phases. This is the first phase. Still, you made it. So congrats, girl."

"I don't wanna listen to you anymore. Go meditate." Lavana spoke with grievance.

"Whatever!" Thora vanished.

It was then that Pamela and Oceana returned with big smiles plastered on their faces.

"Congrats, chap!"

"Felicitations, kiddo!"

They said in unison.

"Hmph. I don't wanna talk to disloyal spirits." Lavana said unhappily.

"Oh, come on. You saw for yourself how she is. We can't handle her. Do you know how much we admire you for being able to stand against her?" asked Pamela.

"Resist my foot! I was literally beaten up emotionally and mentally. How was she even bound to me? Why are there even three of you? What is the mystery?" she bombarded them with questions.

Both looked at each other and laughed nervously.

"Eh, we'll answer that when we wake up again. We are very tired, so..." the pissed lady interrupted Oceana.

"So you wanna go sleep again? All three of you love to sleep so much!" Lavana stated.

"Yup. Especially since you haven't found your mate. We don't have enough energy to keep awake. Plus you will experience the final merging of all three form soon. We need to conserve energy for that. So we really need to rest. Don't worry, you are still invisible for 30 minutes. After that, the spell will fade." explained Pamela, with Oceana nodding.

"So when will I experience the second phase of dragon shifting?" Lavana asked.

"Eh... after you find your mate."

"So I must find this mate of mine first/ Okay, you guys can go enjoy your beauty sleep." Lavana blocked them from being able to communicate with her.

She looked towards the surface and immediately her wings flapped fast, enabling her to get out of the stream in a second.

Landing on the shore, she looked at her reflection on the water.

Her current dragon form was quite majestic and she could spit out lightning, but she still had 2 more phases to go through.

"My beloved mate, wherever you are, please come find me soonest and take me out of this damn pack." she suddenly remembered the last time she danced the day her entire pack was destroyed.

Her eyes shone bright, and she transformed back to human form in pain, but it wasn't that severe. She was in crawling position; completely bare.

Then she got up and turned around. She is returning, not as some eternal punching bag.

2 days later.

Chase's room.

The Alpha's son was due to take over duties last year from his dad, but because he hadn't found his mate, his father still held the authority.

He had gone to many packs to search for his beloved mate that his wolf was always excited about. He imagined how she would look slim, two heads shorter than him, ample boobs, mindboggling backside, tiny waist, beautiful skin, waistlength curly hair, beautiful face bare of any makeup and she would smell like peaches!

He wished to find her every day. Today, there was a party for the pack to attend. He had to be present. He chose a nice outfit from the new clothes he'd bought when he went out shopping a week ago.

His mates were already acknowledged Alphas as they'd found their mates. Why was he different?

"Chase, our mate... our mate is gonna be in this party. I'm sure of it." his wolf said excitedly.

"Stop giving me hope. She isn't in this pack."

"No, this is different. Hurry up. We need to arrive at the party..."

"Okay fine. I'm gonna get us there in seconds. Stop nagging, okay?"

Lavana had just woken up. She was beaten badly two hours ago, so she crawled to her room to heal. Now she looked good as new except for the bloodstain on her ragged clothes and skin.

She sighed.

"Pamela said only my mate can get me outta here. I really wish he'd appear soon. I can't wait to meet him." she thought.

Suddenly, a bad feeling crept up into her mind.

"The Alpha's son still hasn't found his mate since he shifted 3 years ago. It couldn't be that he's my mate, right?" she shuddered at that thought.

That couldn't be right? Though there was indeed a possibility...

"No, it can't be. Pamela said my mate would take me out of here so he must be from another pack and probably an Alpha or Beta. Well, even if it's Omega like me, as long as he's my mate, I can still leave." she reassured herself and got up.

Her stomach rumbled.

She hadn't eaten since morning, plus the beating she received... she was famished.

She needed to find something to eat. After shifting 2 days ago, those special leaves she usually dried and stored up no longer satiated her. Werewolves loved meat more than anything.

The last time she ate meat was when she was still with her parents in her pack.

It was already dark, and she figured that many were already enjoying themselves in the party hall. She entered the kitchen, hoping to find some leftovers. It seems luck was on her side. There was indeed some leftover rice and a piece of meat on the fry pan. It wasn't well fried and had a lot of oil on it. Still, this was better than nothing.

She took a plate and served the rice along with the meat. She used her hand to eat the rice. She hadn't eaten this much in long time. It was warm too. What luck she had.

After consuming the food, she started doing the dishes. Suddenly, she felt pain in her belly and bent over.

"Ouch... ow! It hurts..." her face paled as she fell to her knees.

A tear slid down her left eye.

The food was poisoned!

Who would do this? She had many tormentors in this pack so anyone of them could have done it. So the culprit was finally tired of her existence and just decided to finish her off.

The pain in her belly was intense and became much more as each second pass by. Her head and legs began to ache too and her neck felt itchy.

"So, this is how I'm gonna die, huh? I haven't taken revenge yet and those three are still asleep... "

She cried bitterly, lacking any strength to move a muscle.

>>>>>>>>>

Chase was smiling back at a pack female when he suddenly felt pain in his chest. His face paled, and he quickly excused himself from the party, claiming he was feeling unwell.

When he got outside, his wolf was shouting: "Chase, hurry! Our mate... is in danger. Go, go!"

Chase smelt gun powder. Is that how a mate's scent should be? Why was it gun powder? That aside, what put her in danger? In any case, he had to follow the direction of the smell.

It led to the kitchen.

When he entered, he was stunned. He froze in his steps. The mate he had being looking for all these years was right in his pack. She must have shifted recently. She was the thing everyone vented their stress on.

"Why is it you?" he asked in anger after determining who she was.

Lavana, who was about to faint heard footsteps and gained hope. The smell of this incoming person made her temporarily forget her pain. Pamela even woke up and was shouting.

"Lavana, our mate... he's here."

So she was excited and had thought of how she'd be leaving this damn pack tonight in her mate's arms.

But now, as she confirmed his identity, she stopped smiling.

It was just as she feared. Her mate was the Alpha's son?

At that moment, her world came crashing down.

This bastard would not take her out of here.

"Pamela, what's the meaning of this? Were you lying to me earlier? You just wanted to give me hope? How can my mate be the evil Alpa's son whom I hate to the bone?"

"You bitch, I can't accept you as my mate. You are an Omega." Chase barked.

"Me... I'm an Omega. What's wrong with being an Omega? Am I cursed or something? You think I wished for you to be my mate? If I could go back I'd rather you not be my mate. This is a joke!" she cried bitterly.

"I, Chase Alan Remington of Ralton pack is dissatisfied with the moon goddess' arrangements and I hereby reject you as my mate. I can't see myself spending my life with a disappointment and become a laughingstock." he said with his right hand on the left side of his chest.

"May moon goddess agree to this." he said looking at the starry sky.

Immediately, both felt immense pain. He was rendered to his knees and sweated bullets. He felt like someone had forcefully ripped out his heart.

He crouched and spat out blood, his fingers clenched.

Lavana felt great pain and fainted. She couldn't take it.

Chase managed to get on his feet and, using the walls as support, he left.

Whenever someone rejects their mate, both would feel immense pain. If both rejected each other, the pain would be tripled.

Chase didn't care whether about the pain. To him, this pain was nothing compared to the consequences of accepting this rubbish who was barely alive as a mate.

30 minutes later, Lavana woke up in great pain. It was like someone hit her fragile with a hammer repeatedly.

"Chase Alan Remington, you don't worry. I accept your rejection. But I won't reject you. I will do so when I've become stronger. When I become a being that you won't be able to look up in the eye." she swore and punched the floor with great force.

Her knuckles cracked and rearranged themselves, but the wound was healing slowly. Maybe it was because of the poison still in her body.

She had to leave the kitchen quickly. Coz if anyone finds her here like this, a few kicks to her already hurting belly wouldn;t suffice.

She tore off a part of her ragged skirt and used it to clean off the blood on the ground. Then she crawled out of the kitchen heading towards her home her only refuge in this cruel place.

>>>>>>>

"How could you do such a thing? Why did you reject her?"

Chase's wolf reprimanded him for the nth time.

"Would you just shut it? Just be quiet. You well know the consequences of accepting her. I can't take such a risk." he spat as he sat in the bathtub containing hot water.

Right now, his whole body was shivering, so he badly needed this water.

"I hope you don't regret this, kiddo." said his wolf.

"Stop being annoying. I won't regret my decision." he barked and his wolf decided to go into slumber.

Only during the full moon will he awaken.

Chase wondered what was wrong with his wolf. That rubbish was an Omega. An Omega, for heaven's sake! What business has he got with her?

He hissed and sank himself into the bath water.
