I felt the sadness in my heart. I had to be strong. The footsteps that were now approaching behind me clearly reminded me that I was not alone. I did not let anyone see how much pain I was feeling right now. Transforming back to my human form, I cashed at the excruciating pain I was going through as my bones grind against each other. Changing back from or as I was a larger wolf than everyone else.
''You will always think that the size of your wolf means that you are going to be a greater person. look at how life has played tricks on you. It has humbled you to the depths of the Earth, you are now an Omega.'' Miriam said. When she circled back and stood before me, I glanced at her naked form as she put on the white bodycon dress that she had carried with herself. When I finished pulling up my pants, I could not help but laugh at her comment. she was obviously trying to rile me up because she knew what would happen if an Omega ever fought a princess.
"Be careful how you use your words. I am not yet an Omega. That means that I can still fight you. you and I both know that my fighting skills are better than yours.'' I responded looking into her eyes showing her that I was more than ready to bring her down for the bitch she really was.
'' Look up, the moon has already risen. And by order of our first law in the constitution of all werewolves, you have been dropped of status and are now an omega.'' Miriam says, a sadistic smile plastered on her face. It is obvious that she is enjoying this. She enjoys bringing people down, especially those that have proven a threat to her. Ever since I joined the combat classes, I have always been the best in class. I have fought battles and I have one. We have killed rogues and I have led alongside Miriam in fighting one of the greatest battles against our parks.
It wasn't fair, it was not fair to strip me of all the success that I had and simply because I did not find my mate. I could not believe that I was going to lose everything just because I had not yet made a stupid person who the moon goddess and created for me. Was that even necessary? inside me, I did not see the need of finding a man. I did not want to submit because I was not going to stoop that low. I had worked for everything I had and there is nothing a stupid mate was going to add to my life.
'' Those words are not yours. You are not the one that gets to atter them, it's your father.'' I speak turning around and heading back towards the park. well if they were going to bring me down after all that I have done for them, then they had better do it faster.
''I hope you now realize how worthless and pathetic you're going to be. from a proud warrior tour made in the kitchen, or a palace gardener. You have no idea how I'm going to enjoy watching you, among the lowest ranks in this Park. You have always tried my patience and tempted me. When everyone else respected me for being the princess in this Park, you have gone ahead to show me that you can actually be hard headed and disrespect my authority.'' She says in confidence.
"See, that right there is the point. You are only a coward, one who hides behind that little tiara of yours. We are wolves not children. Stop acting so dumb and see past your silly ass.'' I said to her, irritation in my voice. She makes me so angry.
''How dare you, I am your princess. You will address me with respect.'' she says, fist clenched as she steps forward, looking me in the eye.
"If you want a challenge you will have it, but my respect, you will never get that Mirriam. Respect is earned, not given.'' I responded.
''You are nothing. You have no mate. I will be more than happy to watch you become an omega. Perhaps if you kneel before me and lick my shoes, I might be lenient enough to make you my personal maid. So that you don't end up in the stables, or worse, cleaning the toilets.'' she says, a smirk on her face. I feel like slapping it off her, tackling her to the ground and beating the shit out of her. What she says only riles me up more.
"In case you seem to forget because that seems to be one of your biggest talents, let me spell it out for you. I just turned 23 today. I'm one year older than you. You will be turning 23 and year from now, let's see when your status drops. I will be there to watch and I will be waiting for you at the bottom of the Cradle, when from there you are 30 and you become an Omega.'' this words definitely seemed to strike fear in her. Her expression changed and the manner to which she fixed her dress and smoothened the fabric showed the discontent. She was threatened. In an equal way, Mirriam Cassandra was scared of not finding a mate. Who wouldn't. Bein stripped of status is something horrible.
"This will end today. I'm going to stand beside my father and I will watch him strip you of your status, and once you become an Omega you will realize fully the extent of my wrath. ''
I clenched my fist, anger was boiling inside me. I could not stand here and be disrespected. how dare she. How dare she make a claim of making my life a living hell. I felt disgusted by the traditions of our people but there is nothing I could have ever done.
I followed her back towards the park, and we made our way towards all the members of the park that had gathered at The Square waiting for the ritual. It was not going to take long, there was not much that was going to be done. But everyone had gathered to see the fall of a great warrior.
When a beta became an omega.
would I really accept this?
