(Fawn)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The car stopped me in front of a huge house. Not as big as the palace but a good second.
"This is it. The New Dawn Pack. The beta is inside waiting for you." I tried to overcome my nerves with happy thoughts and I might have grinned a little too hard because instead of the driver smiling back he kinda cringed. I dug in my wallet pulling out 20$.
"Here thank you for your service." He looked almost surprised that I would hand him anything. " Um I'm sorry, is it not enough." I dug around my wallet once again this time pulling out 50$.
The man burst into laughter and I scowled. He laughed for about ten minutes and I had enough. No way in hell was I going to be made a mockery of. I started to take off my glasses not before a familiar voice caught my attention.
"Stop, Mars I can sense your anger. He doesn't know you're a royal and what you're accustomed to. You wanted a normal life so we gave you one. Don't screw this up" sighing I slipped my sunglasses back on. I don't need power. I'll be normal. I put the money back in my purse.
"Hahaha. Yeah, such a funny joke. I'm getting out now" I swung open the door and a grunt caught my attention. I quickly hopped out to see a very attractive man on the floor. His features very prominent. I stuck out my hand for him to grab but he shooed me away.
"Why are you people so rude" I hissed in a whisper tone.
"You're one to talk considering I was the one hit with the door and I have yet to hear an apology" he groaned. I blushed at the statement. I should have known he could hear me.
"I'm sorry. It was an accident." I said keeping my head down. " I didn't see you."
"Yeah yeah. You have been out here for a while so the beta made me come check on you"
"You're not the beta?" He stared at me for a second and walked away. I quickly followed him into the house. It was gorgeous. " ok ok so I realized my question was stupid considering you said you weren't the beta but if you aren't then what are you?"
"Omega." He looked wholesome when he said the title. Proud to be third in command. He leads me down a long hallway and with all the bags I had I couldn't keep up. I tripped over a strap causing me to tumble down with my stuff splattering across the hallway.
I groaned. "Can you please help me". He stopped in his tracks looking down at me. " I have things to do and babysitting you isn't one of them. So pick up your crap and let's get a move on."
Clenching my fist " you...you asshole! It's my first day here and it's like you expect me to know the whole damn shabang not to talk about your speed walking. " grabbing my stuff I shoved some things into his arms. "So please and thank you" I huffed. A small smirk crossed his face but was soon replaced with a serious one. He began walking again but at a slower pace. I lugged my stuff groaning at how heavy it was. But I did pack my whole room so I could assume it would get this heavy.
He opened the door that leads to a big room. I gasped at the lights flicked on. It was a lavender painted room with a bed full of all white sheets. The room had a big chest and drawers I could put my things in. I took a look at opening doors. I had a huge closet. A walk in to be exact. When I opened the bathroom I realized that it had another door attached to it. I went to knock but his voice startled me.
"I wouldn't if I was you" I jumped.
"I thought you were gone"
"I was going to but I had to drop this off. Be ready by 6. I'll be up to get you"
"What happened to me meeting the beta?" I questioned
"You took too long getting your shit together. He had other things to attend to" I rolled my eyes at that comment. He turned to leave the room but I called out one more time. " hey wait up!" I ran over to the door where he was leaning on the door frame crossing his arms causing me to have a full show of his muscles. This picture would drive any girl crazy.
"Did you just call me to check me out" he smirked
"Eww gross" I cursed as my voice cracked. " I just wanted to know your name"
"Wouldn't you like to know" he winked at me causing shivers to erupt down my spine. He left swiftly leaving me to my very inappropriate thoughts.
~~~
My alarm blasted causing me to have a mini panic attack. I sat up looking at my clock 5:30. As I turned off my alarm I slowly made a bee line back from my pillow but quickly shot up as I had to get ready for the things that Mr. No name refused to tell me.
I hopped in the shower letting the warm water put me back into a sleep induce trans. I flipped the warm to cold trying to wake myself. Yes, it worked. I jumped out the shower and went straight to lotioning, thank goodness I shaved yesterday.
I looked at my clock 5:57. I cursed as I threw my towel off trying to dive into my bag from my undergarments. Not to talk about my contacts. I found some hello kitty panties and a red lace bra. Today was not the day for mix match. I put on my glasses because the look for my contacts was apparently harder than I expected. I moved to the closet to see a note and a dress hanging.
Wear this. It's a traditional ceremony so no shoes.
I pulled the dress out from the wrapping and I was mesmerized. It was beautiful. I slipped on the dress and put on small makeup. Mascara, eyeliner, blush and a lip gloss.
I pulled out my phone and began dialing my brother's number. I could have just mind linked him but I'm being a normal wolf. Within the second ring, he picked up.
"My contacts! Where are they?"
"You said you packed them we made a checklist" he slightly laughed at my distraught tone
"Iannnn I neeeedd it! Ughh life sucks"
"Yeah yeah teenage girl problems. I'll have a box of contacts sent your way"
"Box?"
"One for each day. Duh" I scoffed at his tone. " thanks you're a life saver. But as of right now I'm totally screwed."
"Just put on sunglasses"
"Yeah cause sunglasses in the dark is sexiness 101"
"Either that or you just make up somethings" I groaned
"Ian we weren't finished" I heard a giggle in the background. I'm guessing it was his mate. "Well, Mars duty calls" then he hung up.
I gagged at the thought of what might be going on at the moment between them too. I slipped off the dress into some comfortable pjs. I was pacing back and forth on how I was going to explain my situation to the pack. I huddled into bed. Maybe I can say I have the stomach flu gone wrong. Really bad pms. Or I just don't feel comfortable till I meet the alpha. I came up with more excuses for the next ten minutes.
Shortly there was a knock on my door. I jumped down to the floor and hid under my bed. I know that's stupid. It felt like another movie of Gone Girl. I laughed at my abrupt stupidity. The door opened and I knew he was close.
"I know you're in here. You smell is still fresh, so save me the trouble and just come out" I patted around the floor looking for my sun glasses. I peered to my left and I saw them on the table next to my bed. Two hands grabbed my ankles causing me to scream like I was in a murder movie.
I put my hands over my eyes trying to protect my secret.
" you're not wearing the dress!" He hissed
"I know. I-i just don't feel good" I said cowering still with my hands over my eyes.
"Are you fucking kidding me. You're acting like a child. He grabbed my arms pulling me up from the ground, still not breaking the coverage of my eyes.
He stormed over to my dressers and I took the opportunity to hop on my bed and put my sunglasses on.
"Put it on." He threw the dress at me. "We are already late no thanks to you"
"On one condition"
"What" he hissed
"My sunglasses have to stay on. I can't tell you why. I'm just sick ok" He peered at me for a while before he sighed "whatever I don't care. Just hurry"
I ran into the bathroom slipping off my very nice pjs and back into the gorgeous dress. Thank goodness for my makeup still surviving. I braided my hair and put it into a cute up do and ran out the bathroom. I was trailing right behind him. I hadn't noticed how nice he looked until now. Freshly shaved. His dress shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows and his pants hugged him quite nicely.
"So are you going to tell me your name cause I might just have another mental breakdown" I teased
"Nate, and I wish you would." He smirked. "How do you expect me to explain this to the Alpha" he gestured to my face. Sunglasses to be exact.
"Say I have really bad allergies , pink eye. I don't care. I just can't take them off. "
"Why your eyes lead to your soul"
"No my eyes can turn you to stone" I grinned.
"Really sexy, men love women who can make them hard. " I burst into laughter. "No really you're making him rock hard" he joined in on my laughing fit.
"Trust me, I'm no expert at that, but who knows if you get to know me, I'll let you know my little secret"
"Don't tempt me" he whispered. I pushed past him and went outside. There was a trail of light leading to the ceremony. "The alpha and I will see you up there," Nate said before leading me to a bunch of other members who I guess we're joining the pack today as well.
We were lined up from youngest to oldest and since I was 17 I was in the middle. I twiddled my thumbs. I'm so nervous. I had never seen what a traditional pack joining ceremony looked like. I'm sure my mom and dad had witnessed their fair share. Maybe even Ian.
"Amara?" Nate called. I looked around and everyone was staring at me. I looked in front of me and no one was there. Shit, it's my turn. I scurried to the front to see the Alpha holding a knife. In all honesty, I wasn't scared of knives or blood and I knew my skin will heal. Faster than most but the thought of this made my tummy turn.
"Remove the glasses" the Alpha stated calmly. I looked around to Nate to see what he would do. He did absolutely nothing.
"I-I can't, please..."
"Take. It. Off" I slowly took off my glasses. But I shut my eyes and quickly. The Alpha cut my hand binding his blood with mine.
"Can I have them back now" I hissed at Nate.
"Not until you tell me your dirty little secret" I huffed and began walking with my hands held out to prevent me from falling. That didn't go well considering I tripped over a branch and the sharp edge of bark cut into my skin. I whimpered opening my eyes to see the cut.
Nate was coming over but I quickly got up and ran back to the house. Why me. Why couldn't my stupid contacts just appear?
