"How's it, Luna?" One of the omega maids asked as Evelyn tasted the soup.
"It's really good," Evelyn smiled. "Also, you can call me Evelyn. I'm not the Luna..." She looked down. It felt awkward to Evelyn that almost everyone was calling her something she isn't.
"That's okay, you're going to be the Luna soon." The maid chirped happily before going to take care of her awaiting chores.
Almost every omega in the Pack is excited about Evelyn becoming the next Luna because it's the first time an omega is taking over that position. It's natural for them to think that they finally have someone who understands them.
Evelyn sighed. She couldn't tell the omegas about how complicated her relationship is with the Alpha and it made her heart heavy because she was giving them hope about something that is most likely not going to happen.
"Luna! Good morning!" A high pitched voice made Evelyn turn around to see the smiling blonde omega.
"Good morning, Rain." She couldn't help but smile back at the boy. He really has an infectious smile.
"Can you come with me? I have something to show you." Rain said tugging on Evelyn's sleeve.
"What is it? " She questioned, curious why the omega was so excited about in the morning.
"It's a surprise, come on." Rain giggled as he dragged Evelyn with him.
Soon they were out of the packhouse and walking towards the back. The number of trees increased as they walked. After a few minutes, they reached the place that made her gasp.
The boy giggled at her awestruck expression. "Beautiful, isn't it? " He asked her.
"I don't know what to say...." The place was the most beautiful place Evelyn saw in her life. She stared at the gorgeous view in front of her.
There was a small pond which had Cristal clear water and beautiful small fishes were carelessly roaming in it. Around the pond were different types of plants that had eye-catching flowers on them, mostly yellow, light violet, and red-colored ones. Some flowers were floating around in the pond.
There was no piece of land visible in the area as the ground was covered with pink and white flower petals. There were big bloomed flower trees which made the place seem like heaven.
Evelyn frowned confused, "How? It's almost winter... How are there so many flowers?"
The boy smiled, "These are plants and trees that blossom in winter," He said, his voice brimming with excitement. "Look! This one is a cherry tree, it's my favorite." He said pointing to the tree with pink flowers. "And this is a magnolia, it's beautiful, isn't it? "
Evelyn couldn't help but smile looking at the boy who was happily talking about his garden. "This one right here is a snowdrift crabapple and the one next to it is a Loquat." He pointed to the two trees. "I like crabapple's flowers, white flowers calms my mind." He said going to stand under the tree. "Loquat has white flowers too but it blossomed early this time and now it's all fruits." He pointed to the tree which had plum-like bright yellow fruits hanging on it. "Loquat's flowers have a really sweet scent. I come here often when it blooms because of that." Evelyn looked at the tree again. There were small birds on it, some chirping and some eating the sweet-smelling fruit.
"Whoever made this garden is a thoughtful person. I always thought winter was boring because there won't be any flowers but this is amazing. Now I have something to look forward to in winter." Evelyn turned to the boy who smiled at her but there was a small hint of sadness in his eyes.
"It's my mother..." He looked at the flowers with a fond smile. "My mother loved flowers, she planted most of the trees and plants in our front garden. The wisteria was her favorite.... She always got sad when winter came because there weren't any flowers. My father wasn't happy with her being sad so he went and bought different kinds of plants and trees that blossom in winter." Rain chuckled. "The Loquat was specially imported from Japan. The cherry tree first bloomed when she was pregnant with me...... She was so happy..... " He sighed. "I don't remember much about them.... Most of the things I know about them are from the stories the former Luna and Amelia told me."
Evelyn didn't know what to say to the boy. She never had to comfort anyone before because she was alone in the forest for half of her life. "They would be so proud of you for taking care of their garden," Evelyn said in the hope to cheer up the boy.
Rain smiled, "Not a lot of people know about this little garden...... which helps me to come here when I'm feeling down. I'm showing you this so you could also come here when you want to relax."
"That's so thoughtful of you," Evelyn ruffled the blonde boy's hair. "I'll definitely come here often because this is the coolest place I've ever seen." She smiled.
"The front garden is also amazing, it's just there aren't any flowers because it's winter now. It's so beautiful when it's spring." It seemed like the omega likes the flowers just as much as his mother did.
"What would you do with the fishes when it's winter? Won't the water temperature become very low?" Evelyn asked looking down at the fishes swimming in the small pond.
"I move them to the indoor tank." He said as he shivered because of the wind that suddenly blew.
Evelyn hugged herself to protect herself from the cold. Both of the omegas forgot to wear a coat and now they were regretting it.
"Luna look!" Rain shouted looking around. The wind made the petals fall from the tree making it seem like it was snowing.
Rain giggled bouncing around to catch as much as petals he can in his palm. Laughing, Evelyn joined him and caught the flower petals as much as she can.
The boy tiptoed and sneakily dumped the petals he caught on Evelyn's head who gasped in surprise. Evelyn wanted revenge. She chased Rain with her handful of petals to dump them on the boy's head.
Both of the omegas were so lost in playing the petals that they didn't see the people watching them.
"Omega!"
A booming voice made the omegas stop on their tracks.
Evelyn stiffened. It was her mate's voice. The one that made her cower in submission.
Gulping, she slowly turned to face the fuming alpha staring at her.
"What are you doing here?" The Alpha asked, his jaws clenching as he eyed the omega. His Beta, Calvin, was right beside him—staring at the omegas uninterested."I-I... W-we were just—" Evelyn stuttered not knowing what to say. Rain quickly moved and found a safe spot behind the girl."Who gave you permission to go out?" The Alpha asked, taking long strides towards the omegas."N-No one, I-I didn't k-know I had to ask—I'm s-sorry." Evelyn nervously chewed on her lips. The flower petals falling from her hair as she lowered her head in submission."Don't repeat this next time when you step out of the Packhouse." The Alpha scolded as he glared at the omega.Evelyn just meekly nodded in reply, afraid to speak up. Keiran shifted his gaze to the boy behind her."You're hanging out with him?" He huffed staring at the omega hiding behind Evelyn. Rain looked down, not d
Evelyn heard the faint murmur of people talking inside as she walked towards the room. To say she was nervous would be an understatement. Evelyn was shaking as she took each step. The people inside that room are the ones who are going to decide her destiny."You can go in, Luna." The omega maid said as she opened the huge wooden door. Evelyn gulped as the voices were now clear and understandable but they seem to be talking about something that Evelyn couldn't quite understand.She thanked the maid before taking a deep breath and stepping into the room. The voices died down as soon as she entered the room.Evelyn looked to her left to see that everyone in the room was staring at her. The omega held her breath not knowing what to do as there was an awkward silence in the room.There were nine people in the room including her mate. They all sat on a big leather couch that was arr
"You'll be the Luna today, yay!" Rain shouted bouncing around."Stop bouncing on the bed, Rain. You'll feel dizzy." Evelyn sighed as she warned the hyper boy. He ate too much sugar today.Rain stopped and took out his fifth lollipop. He carefully unwrapped it and put it in his mouth before continuing to bounce on the bed.Evelyn shook her head as she folded all the new clothes Amelia bought her. It wasn't much, just a few more pairs of jeans and sweatshirts for her to wear."Who gave you all these lollipops?" Evelyn questioned the boy who kept jumping on the bed.He stopped and took the candy stick out of his mouth. "Amelia bought this for me! They're all mango flavored! Do you want one? I also got cupcakes and chocolate bars but they're in my room." Evelyn figured that the omega was sugar high from how excited he was talking."No, I don't want one and th
Amelia and Scarlet helped Evelyn to get ready as the omega didn't seem to know anything about makeup.Evelyn was beautiful even without makeup but a light touch of some blush, lip gloss, and eyeliner did magic to her face. She let her long hair down free as it was more beautiful that way.Evelyn's long golden hair is something that makes people stop and stare at her for a minute. It came down to her hips in shiny wavy curls."Here, wear these earrings," Amelia said as she gave the omega the jewelry. The earrings were beautiful with a long chain and with a simple stone hanging at the end of it."It looks like raindrops," Evelyn smiled as she looked at the jewelry amused." They're sapphire," Amelia said making Evelyn look at her."Huh? " The omega asked, her head tilted in confusion.
Keiran extended his hand for Evelyn to take as she reached the stage. The omega was surprised but didn't make it obvious.Sparks shot through Evelyn's body as soon she touched her mate. His hand was warm and Evelyn never wanted to let go of that warmth.The Alpha retreated his hand as soon as Evelyn got on the stage, leaving the omega disappointed.Evelyn stared at her mate who had an uninterested expression on his face. He looked exceptionally handsome and had a built body that makes women drool over him. The omega wondered why the moon goddess paired her with such a powerful man."Cutt off all the unnecessary bullsh*t and jump straight to the ritual," Keiran muttered to the priest who gulped at his threatening voice.Evelyn looked down. It hurts her to think that her mate really wasn't interested in such an important moment in their life.
Evelyn jumped in surprise when the alpha suddenly burst through the door. His angry eyes traveled around the room to find her standing on the balcony.The omega gulped, her fingernails digging into her delicate palm as she tried to make herself look small as possible. Keiran took a deep breath as he strode towards her. He reminded the omega of a predator that was ready to attack.The alpha gripped her hand, bringing her closer to him while Evelyn let out a helpless whimper. His gaze hovered over the girl like the shadow of a thunderstorm. Evelyn involuntarily shivered at the coldness of it. "Everything happened according to your wish, didn't it? " Keiran's voice was dangerously low. Evelyn could feel that the alpha was gritting his teeth when he said it. "You ruined everything. You. A pathetic creature like you made me put my Pack in danger." He seethed making the omega flinch.Eve
Evelyn squinted as she slowly opened her forest-green eyes. The pain of sleeping in an uncomfortable position last night made her whimper as she got up. The omega rubbed her eyes and let out a yawn before she looked around the room.Reality crashed onto her like an avalanche when she realized that she wasn't in her previous room but in the alpha's. Evelyn gulped and frantically looked around but there was no sign of the alpha. His scent was there but it wasn't as strong as it is when he's in the room.Evelyn slowly walked to the bathroom, standing in front of it hesitantly for a minute before mustering up the courage to knock.There was no answer.The omega heaved a sigh before opening the door and going in.She brushed her teeth and took a hot shower to ease the pain in her body because of her uncomfortable sleep last night. The omega opted
Scarlett took both the omegas to the weapon room. "Come in, " She said as she opened the door. "It's been a long time since I last came here. This is the first time I step in here after Keiran took charge as the Alpha, so that makes it almost two years, " She looked around.The omegas were both awestruck and amused as they saw the collection of knives, guns, and swords. Rain softly touched the shiny blades but quickly retreated because he was afraid of being hurt by them." There should be more, I think the pack warriors took it for training," Scarlett muttered as she walked towards the knife section.The room was pretty huge and the only thing in there were open shelves that had different knives and guns.'And Scarlett said there's more?'Evelyn gulped as she thought about it." Hey guys…
