Alpha's Hunt - Chapter 9

09. By hook or by crook
I can't sit still.
All those Lycans, here, tomorrow night! And one of
them can be my mate! And then I can put into action
my life plan of escaping this stinkin' pack!
I might find him tomorrow! My soulmate! My escape!
Is it a bit mean that I want freedom more than
unconditional love? Meh. People wish for what they
want the most, and I want freedom baby!
Finally, I leave my room to go to Luna Fay. On the
way, I take a turn around a corridor and come face to
chest with someone, barely stopping in time not to
collide with it.
Ethan raises an eyebrow at me, I mimic his expression
and then giggle like an idiot. Well, I don't know about
anyone else but if I keep running into the same
person, I'll find it funny. Which I do.
"Hello Elise," he smiles at me, I grin widely "you look
excited."
"Like hell I am," I nod with enthusiasm, he chuckles "I
might just find my mate tonight!"
Ethan only offers me a small smile, it doesn't reach his
eyes "I'm hoping to meet my mate too but it would be
a little... Awkward. I'll be leaving for the Hunt just after
that."
"Don't worry," I pat him on the shoulder "everything's
going to be amazing, I'm sure of it!"
"Thank you, I'll see you at the ceremony then." He says
"and I'm sure I'd recognize you."
I raise an eyebrow, Ethan speaks again;
"You know, it's a mask ball to make things more
interesting." He says "see you there."
He goes around me and walks away. Right, I have to
be somewhere' too. Only a couple of steps later, I have
to hide behind the wall. I peek ahead to see a familiar
blond, bothering an omega.
"No, no, no!" Darcie throws a dress at Flora "it's not
good enough either!"
"B-B-But it's the one you selected," Flora mumbles
"Well, I've changed my mind!" Darcie yells "go get a
better one!"
Avoiding both of them, I turn to the opposite hallway
and walk away as quick as possible.
Soon enough I find myself in front of a door. I take a
deep breath, here goes. I knock.
"Come in," a feminine voice says
I enter the room cautiously. It's even bigger than
Luke's room. There's a king sized bed against one wall,
a dresser near it, then a door which no doubt leads to
the walk in wardrobe. The windows are open, letting
natural light inside. The theme colours are creme and
white.
"Yes, Elise?" Luna Fay is sitting in an arm chair, a
magazine open on her lap
"Luna," I bow my head respectfully "I want to ask you
something, if that's alright."
She raises an eyebrow at my perfect behaviour and
then nods.
I go inside and close the door softly behind myself.
Then I take a moment to gather my words.
"Tonight is the Alpha's Hunt ceremony," I start
"Yes," Luna nods but I notice the tension in her
shoulders "All the participant Lycans from America will
get paired tonight."
I nod, keeping my face respectful. Even though she's
never been very nice to me, she's a mother and she's
worried about her son.
"I wanted to ask you," I say softly "if the omegas can
come to the ceremony too?"
"What?"
I stare at Luna's now stern face. She stands up, nostrils
flaring. My neck muscles start to itch, my eyes start to
burn but I grit my teeth and hold my ground.
"An omega's place is not in parties," her voice is softly
poisonous "an omega is not fit for this."
But you were an Omega once.
She hates acknowledging that fact. Word is, she was
treated very badly in her pack before she found Alpha
Jax. Hell, they say her pack won't even let her go after
she found her mate and she had to run away before
Alpha Jax could start a war with her pack.
And yet, she treats us no better. She's always
reminded of her bitter past and she takes it out on us.
"Why not?" I blurt out
"Because Omegas are not allowed," Luna Fay glares at
me "now go, I have other things to attend to."
Holding back a growl, I leave her room. This is not
over, not yet. I'm going to get the hell out of this pack,
by hook or by crook!
As I storm back to my room, I can't help but think how
long this will go on. How long will Omegas be treated
like this?
Yes we aren't as powerful as Alphas or Betas. Yes we
aren't as skilled as Warriors. Yes we aren't random
people of the pack. But we are part of the pack.
We are just as loyal, just as protective, just as
important. We don't want anyone to worship us. We
don't want to be special. We just want
acknowledgement. We want to be treated as
everyone else.
You can think of Omega rights later, Elise. I tell myself,
Right now you need to think of a plan.
After thinking for God knows how long, I groan into
my pillow. Think, Elise! You're running out of time!
My eyes swim to my wardrobe and an idea lights up
my head. My lips slowly curl into a smirk.
I'd like to see how anyone stops me from going, Luna.

Sneak peek:
"What are you doing here?" A deep voice hisses in
my ear
I look up at dark blue eyes boring into mine. I smile.
"Finding my mate."
