Rejected runt

Chapter 1

Hades POV:
My birthday morning started with me making breakfast for the entire pack my name is Hades and I'm a werewolf. I'm in charge of all the house chores cause I'm the only omega in my pack if anything goes wrong it's always my fault. I'm turning 18 today and I have red eyes, black hair, and like all omegas a girly figure. However instead of celebrating I'm doing my usual chores and preparing all the food and decorations for the soon to be Alphas birthday celebration that starts tomorrow morning 6am sharp.

"Hey omega the breakfast ready yet?!" Gets shot at me by the soon to be alpha as he and his friends return from their run.

"Yes Alpha." I reply respectfully as I set the mountains of eggs, bacon, pancakes, sausages, toast, and French toast on the buffet table and I set syrup, sugar, cinnamon sugar, salt and pepper at each table. Then I grabbed the butter out of the fridge and set it next to the buffet table along with plates and cutlery.

As I finished up the rest of the pack started to file in grabbing their food and sitting down with their friends to eat and chat. I sat in my room which was the basement on my bed which was just an old tattered blanket with a pillow.

I waited for 2 hours before making my way back to the dinning room knowing everyone would be done eating. I cleared all the plates noticing I would be going without breakfast due to there being no leftovers. I started on the dishes and when I was done with the washing, drying and packing away I went back to making the food for tomorrow.

I was looking forward to night time that's when a wolf would find its mate and shift for the first time. The night of their 18th birthday a wolf will shift and go off to find its mate if they are of age. Most wolves when coming of age shift under the moon with the entire pack present to celebrate the new wolf. I'll probably end up celebrating by myself in my room because the pack never celebrates an omegas shift they don't even know it's my birthday. I finish the food for tomorrow mornings celebration and pack it in the fridge. I head down to my room. It's 10 pm I wait for the time I was actually born which was 11:28 pm that's the time I will start my first shift. I wait reading a book and when the clock hits 11:28 a massive pain shoots throughout my body. I lay on the floor in pain muffling my screams in my pillow as I feel my bones break one by one and shift around to form a new body shape. I feel my teeth become sharp, my hearing gets 10 times better, my nails turn to claws and I can smell everything like it's amplified. When the clock reaches 11:44 my shift stopped. I went to a mirror that was left down here and froze the reflection staring back at me wasn't a wolf but a small red fox with large red feathered wings sprouting from its back and red eyes that seemed to glow. The end of its tail and the ends of the feathers of the wings were a light orange making it look as if the tail and wings were made of fire rather than fur or feathers. What's more even in fox standards I was tiny for my age meaning I'm obviously a runt. I whimper and shift back realising my eyes stayed glowing, my fingers now had long claw like nails, I had slightly sharper canines, and my hair had turned red. Knowing I can't let anyone see my other form I crawled over to my bed.

I then drifted to sleep exhausted from shifting. I wake up to my alarm blaring at 5:00 am I got dressed and made my way upstairs to set up the soon to be Alphas party. I set up long tables outside on the grass with enough chairs for the whole pack except for me since I'm not welcome. I also set out all the food and drinks for the party. There are 67 people in the pack not including me we are the second largest pack in Alaska and we live in the coldest place where it snows year round. Our pack is made up of red wolves and therefore is called the crimson moon pack. We are bordered by two other packs to our right is the clouded sky pack which is made up of grey wolves and to our left is the snowy river pack made up of mostly arctic wolves. The snowy river pack is the largest having about 123 members in total. The reason why they are so large is because the Alpha of the pack excepts all creatures that seek a home most of them are arctic wolves but there are other creatures there too. I finish setting up at 5:55 and go back to my room before the party starts. I hear the pack come down from their rooms and talking excitedly with their friends as they make their way outside and start the celebration. I bring out a roll I was able to get from the kitchen while no one was watching and ate it as I listened to the noise. I suddenly heard a thud and realised it is now 6:34 the time the soon to be Alpha was born. I hear the excited members of the pack shouting. After about 15 min I hear a loud howl and hear the rest of the pack that could shift howl in return to the new Alphas call. Then I hear the wolves howl in farewell as their new Alpha starts on his journey to find his mate meaning probably no one around him was his mate. The only way you can tell who is your mate is by making eye contact. As soon as your eyes meet your mates your wolf will tell you. On the very rare chance your mate rejects you two things can happen you either die from heart break or get a second chance. A second chance mate is rare and that's why most rejected wolves and shifters die from heart break when rejected. I actually remember I have a mate out there now waiting for me. Realising this I decide that I will go out and find them.
