Chapter 2: An Omega Among Royals

Elodie

The bracelet on my wrist buzzed softly, waking me up from my sleep. My eyes widened as I saw a message blink across the screen.

“New student orientation. Arena hall. 7:00AM.”

Fuck! I just have ten minutes left to get ready. I can't believe I'm going to be late on my very first day of school

Without hesitation, I got up, rush to take my bath which took seven minutes.

I changed into the school uniform they left on the desk, tied my hair back and went to look at myself in the mirror.

The mirror didn't lie, it showed my appearance and mood. Which seems tired and small. Panicked and frightened. To be candid, I don't know how the class will go.

Whether the students would accept me for who I am. I'm just scared and nervous. Would I be able to Face them?

these strangers, full of powerful, wealthy wolves. Sons and daughters of high ranking Alphas. I don't know if they'll accept me. An Omega without a rank, neither connection.

I just want to survive the day without drama and embarrassment

The arena hall was a wide, circular space made of steel and glass. The ceiling opened into the sky, and a cold morning air rushed in. Dozens of students were already gathered. Standing in rows. Most wore black uniforms with gold wolf symbols.

They were all looking royal and wealthy. Judging by their facial expressions, you can tell they're students from wealthy backgrounds, except for me. Who stands differently judging by the way my body was kinda shivering.

To be honest, I feel so small and intimidated in their midst. I ooze out some breath from my mouth, trying so hard not to make it so obvious.

I stayed at the edge, hoping no one would notice me. I could feel how different I looked compared to the rest. My breathing grew shallow and I kept wiping my palms on my skirt.

Suddenly, the crowd stirred up with screams, gasps and whispers.

“Ohh my gosh. It's Randy Wayne!”

“He's finally back.

Randy is back.”

Different voices rasped in, making my stomach drop. Randy Wayne?

The name rings a bell.

I rose a bit on my toes, trying to get a better view of him. Different girls were drooling over him, squealing and melting like ice-cream.

Who the hell was this randy guy?

The views became clearer and I finally saw him.

Holy moly! My jaw dropped in astonishment.

I didn't know when those words escaped my mouth, followed by a cold shiver that runs down my spine as I stare at him.

I suddenly get why girls crush and daydream about Him. He is a hell of a fine man. He is tall, strong, dressed in all black. His eyes were piercing gray, storms cloud and his jaw was sharp, like he never smiles.

He walked like he owned the world, like he had power in his blood. Two guys flanked him, both good looking, but nowhere near his level of handsomeness.

My views got distracted when a girl ran up to him and put him in a hug. That type of hug lovers do when they miss each other.

“I miss you so much ,baby,” I heard the girl, about my age, say and my stomach churned in revulsion.

I nearly rolled my eyes. Great. The famous boy comes with a girlfriend.

What a beautiful sight to behold. A very good way to start this morning.

Curious to know who he was, I turned to a girl standing close to me and whispered the words in her mouth. “Who is he?” Her eyes lit up, as she looked at me in disbelief.

“You don't know him?” She questioned, her tone disappointed and at the same time bewildered. Am I supposed to know him?

She looked like i just said i didn't know the moon existed.

“That's Randy Wayne. The future Alpha of the dark moon pack,” She said,

Now it Made sense.

The name did sounds familiar. I scratched my head, trying to remember everything I have had about him and then, it came crashing back.

My heart skipped when I remembered who he was. I have been hearing his name but never met him in person.

Don't blame me, I'm always some shadow hidden in the dark that hardly gets seen.

So how could someone like me probably meet with him? Impossible right? I know!

Now I get why the girl was stunned when I asked about him.

Of course everyone knows who he was. I believe everyone in the werewolf community must have heard of him, like I do. Randy Wayne wasn't an ordinary wolf like I, nor was he like the others.

Randy was the top student at Alpha academy. The son of the ruthless lycan king. The next ruler. The women's dream. Even in my pack, unmated she wolves talk about him a lot. How they wish the moon goddess could mate them with him.

So yes, that's how I get to find out about him even though I haven't seen him in person.

Honestly, he is worth every bit of hype.

Heat radiated through my body as I saw him coming closer to my direction.

His eyes were golden, not just any regular brown or hazel, but a deep, glowing gold that seemed to burn softly, and when his eyes landed on mine, just a second, I froze, my heart rising in apprehensions. His eyes pierced through mine like he could see through my body and soul.

And the thought made me shiver. Cold clawing its way through my skin.

For a second,I find it so hard to breathe which is so unusual to me. Even though I was an Omega, I never had trouble standing near ranked wolves before, but with him, it was different.

Why's my palm sweating? Why's my heart racing at him? And my eyes, it was still fixed on him, keenly, not wanting to let go, with so much interest and so was his, so I thought.

But unfortunately, within a few seconds, his expression completely changed to something drastic. His gaze turned cold, his eyes widened in panic, and within the blink of air, he stumbled back and walked away angrily. Leaving everyone, including me and his girlfriend stunned.

My brow furrowed with confusion,my mind spun with unanswered questions as he ran out of the hall, the two boys also followed him, but except his girlfriend whose almond eyes were shooting straight at mine.

Ohh moon goddess, What's happening? I'm definitely sure I'm not the reason why he suddenly gets angry and walked away

Was I?

*I didn't know it then, but that single glance would change my entire fate*
