At least I'm thankful that they gave me this tent. It's really small and smelly but I can't complain.

This is probably the kindest thing they could do for someone that they hate.

Inside my humble tent, I have a flat wood board which I used as my bed. A single pillow and a thick cloth which barely protects me from the cold nights. A lamp, a jar, a few rugged clothes and sandals I've been using since I was 13.

All this stuff I got from the trash.

They were my only belongings and I could never be more thankful for all of this.

I whined in pain as I sat inside my tent before slowly removing my sandals. I reached for a tiny cloth and soaked it with the use of the water in my jar.

"Aww..." I trembled as I cleansed my wounded right foot. After I made sure it's clean enough; I shifted to my snow white wolf to heal it up.

After a minute, my swollen foot finally healed and the colour went back to normal.

I smiled proudly.

Nobody knows, but I could heal faster than everyone else. With a single bruise it will take them a day to heal it, burns take 3 days and open wounds takes a week to heal, but I could mend it within a day.

Awesome, right? But let's keep it a secret or they'll think I'm some kind of a witch.

We are far from civilization and this pack is totally outdated. We're living in tents and cabins in the middle of the woods. Some packs visited us to share knowledge, but the Alpha intends to stay with our antiquated ways of living.

As if we'll survive without changes.

Sigh...

I wonder if the other packs treat omegas better than this... or I was hoping.

Our pack's musicians started to play with their flutes, drums and guitars. My ears perked up in delight. They probably started the bonfire as well. I smiled sadly as I smelled the yummy scent of roasted deer and lamb.

I wanted to be a part of it. My mate's birthday.

I don't remember the day when I realised we're mates. I don't even know my own birthday...

Today my mate will know that it's me and I should prepare myself.

They'll either kill me or throw me out...

Killing me would be better than living outside the woods. You don't know what's out there. Maybe it's worse than being here.

But I should prepare my stuff just in case.

I shifted back to my human form before pulling the cover and wrapping it around my naked body. I soon opened my box and put some of my clothes inside my old rugged cloth I'll use to store my things.

I must hurry... I told myself as I tied the end of the cloth tightly but before I could finish someone entered my tent without permission.

My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at the firstborn son who was looking at me in disbelief. His eyes were wide and lips parted.

I tighten my grip on the cloth around me nervously when his eyes land on my exposed tights before glancing towards my packed stuff.

"You're leaving?" He glared at me and I stiffened in fear.

"I-I was just..."

"You know we're mates!" I shook my head immediately and he growled. "Liar."

I kept my head down in fear.

What should I do? I was ready to die b-but when he came I-I got so scared....

"P-please spare me! I didn't mean to lie, I-I'm sorry!" I bowed my head down on the ground.

What should I do?! He'll kill me!

"Look at me." I slowly looked up at him. "Name."

My heart clenched.

He doesn't even know my name.

"Cole..."

"Cole." He repeated while nodding to himself. "Then Cole, what's my name?" I looked up at him confused and he raised a brow at me.

"T-the Alpha's first b-born-"

"Name. My name." He cut me off once again and I stared at him in discomfort.

"I-I cannot address you that way-"

"My name?" He asked once again and I swallowed hard. He seems persistent for some reason.

I bit my lower lip before opening my mouth a bit.

"Austin..."

And just by that a smile spread to his lips and my heart skipped a beat when he knelt down in front of me. I pushed myself up to give him more space.

He suddenly cupped my face between his warm hands and my eyes watered up from the gentleness he's giving me.

What's this? I almost sobbed as he pressed his forehead against mine.

"Mate." He stared at me full of love and right there I already knew that I was accepted by my mate.

"Mate." I smiled widely. My chest tightening from excitement as I put my hands on top of his.

I'm so happy. He accepted me but everything is just starting...

I smiled.

My hellish life I mean.
