Reclaiming My Rejected Omega

Aria POV

"How long would you take you to prepare a simple dinner, are you planning to starve us to death??"

Tessa voice resounded in the entire house, even from the kitchen, i could feel the rage radiating from her.

I put off the gas and proceeded to dish the meal, i lifted the tray professionally and headed to the living room, Dad sat acorss me with his hands folded and his eyes fixated at the TV, he spared me no glance, neither did Leo, only Tessa glared dangerously at me.

i ignored the chilling look from her and walked past her to the dining, i felt a sudden shadow over me and with experience i immediately dunk to the right, Leo pissed voice followed after.

"what do you know to do right? a common meal like this took you hours to make..."

"it's isn't even up to an hour i finished my chore and entered the kitchen." i retaliated with a low voice, Leo face held disbelief as he never believed i could push up the courage to cut through his sentence.

"How dare you freaking Omega..."

"Enough!!"

my father voice came at the right time, just before Leo hands almost reached my face, that is how it's always been, me being an overworked and unpaid house help/maid for my own family. i came to learn that my father really loved and adorned my mother, my siblings too, but My birth brought not only death to their beloved mother and wife, but disgrace as a Pack Beta birthing an Omega has never been heard of.

"what are you spacing out for? are you gonna dish out my meal or not?" Tessa rude tone brought me back from my subconsciousness, i rolled my eyes internally and ignored her, i didn't have the energy to bicker with her, not in front of our elder brother and Father who obviously and totally dislikes the very air i breathe.

I walked back with the tray in hand as and headed back to the kitchen to get ny dad's favorite coffee, he had this fetish with drinking coffee every morning with breakfast, i came to learn that Coffe was actually ny mom's favorite, it became a tradition in our household even before i was born to always take coffee, instead of juice with breakfast.

Minutes later, i came back into the living room with a coffee tray on my right hands and a glasses with wine on the other hand.

I walked past Tessa but she suddenly let out an excited squeak, making me lose balance and suddenly the hot coffee fall off my hands, my eyes widen instantly in fear shock.

The coffee fell straight on Tessa's dresss and the rest on the floor.

"you did that on purpose didn't you?" She screamed angrily, her hands clutched by her side as she gazed at me.

"Am sorry, you suddenly squeak and i lost balance, i didn't mean to do that."

"liar, you did it on purpose, you trash...were you planning on killing me with a single blow..."

i knew it was coming, i knew that particular words were coming, i told myself that am used to it, but repeatedly I've failed miserably.

"just as you killed mother..."

My chest tightened as  tried to control ny emotions, i couldn't lose my cool in front of them, i just wondered if they so hate me this much, why keep me too now? he could have given me away, right or probably kill me, why did he still keep me around.

"I said that's Enough!!" My dad said with a deep and cold voice, i knew he wasn't about to scold her but deep down, i just hoped effortlessly.

"I told you countless times, don't bring yourself down to her level."

Those words burnt through my very soul like a scalding fire, but i sucked in it all in, right from when i could remember, it's always been this way.

"Clean this up and know what your punishment is for messing up." Tessa commanded in a stern voice and i only nodded.

I wasn't gonna join them for breakfast, that's what the punishment was about, but i actually cared less.

"Dad, i heard from Nora that Alpha Reed is throwing a ball for his son's return?"

i paused in my steps when i heard this, it's been a whole two years since  he left, he never communicated in any way, but the the only thought of meeting him again was something that kept me going.

Yes, Ethan, the heir to the Crescent moon pack is my lover of three years, i met him on my Sixteenth birthday three years ago, i always celebrated my birthdays by the beach alone, but that day, he surprisingly approached me, i was skeptical at first but as time went on, i realized it was the best decisions of my entire love, till this day, he is the only one that kept me going, in fact it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he brought meaning into my meaningless life.

"Yeah, Get ready for that Aria, you are going to the ball tomorrow."

"What!!"

"why does that wench have to go?"

Both Leo and Tessa said simultaneously, both competing the level of hatred they have for me. I quickly  finished up cleaning the spilled coffee and headed back to my room.

My entire thoughts filled with him, i didn't bother to think on why my dad actually wants me to go, what matters is that i get to see him, i get to see his face once again.

The next morning, i took out a pair of old shoes used by Tessa, and a tight fitted gown, the only decent gown I've got for an occasion like this, it's nothing compared to the high end luxurious gown that would be worn by Tessa.

Standing in front of the mirror, i gazed at my reflection and smiled, i brought down my hair, put it on a light lip oil and touched up with some eye liner i found near the bin, must have belonged to Tessa, after i was done, i became stunned by my transformation, i might not be much but i indeed look quite decent.

I carefully walked out of the room and unto the hallway and my first encounter was Tessa, and as expected, her outfit is eye catching, a bright red luxurious gown adjourned with pearls and diamonds.

"How ridiculous, why did you want to come to the ball? you think you stand a chance with Prince Ethan with such ridiculous outfit?" Tessa scoffed.

I rolled my eyes internally, of course i stand more Chance than you with your heavy make-up and dress.

"what's with that face? feeling smug now?" 

"Let's go." Leo said, interrupting Tessa from saying more hurtful words.

The car took us directly to the exquisite and majestic Mansion of the Alpha, Dad stopped right at the entrance to exchange pleasantries.

"How have you been Aria? it's been long i set my eyes on you, come here!!"

The Kind voice of Ivy, the Luna of Cresent Moon pack made me twitch in excitement, she is the only person in the entire pack that looks out for me, aside Ethan of course. She's my late mother best friend while she was alive.

"She's really busy at the Diner, and doesn't come out often."

Before i could process a word out, father hurriedly answered on my behalf, all smiles, a sharp contrast to his usual cold demeanor at home.

"ohh..poor soul, why work so hard always?" Luna Ivy smiled as she patted my hair, i smiled back at her not saying a word.

Dad led us inisde, giving way for other families to exchange pleasantries with the royal family, my eyes scanned the entire hall but i couldn't locate him, what was i expecting, he wouldn't be in here at the moment.

We were led to our table at the centre of the hall, my dad stood up to greet the other high ranking families, Leo went off with the daughter of the Gamma, they just found out they were mate a week ago, only i and Tessa remained at the table but she was fixated on her phone, probably texting her Friend, Nora.

when a waiter passed by with a tray of champagne, i took a bottle even though i don't drink much, i just wanted something to hold onto.

Suddenly the entire hall turned quiet, Tessa and Nora who had just joined her moments ago gasped, even before i looked up, i already know the reason, he is the only one in the entire pack with such a presence.

A smile formed in my lips as i caught sight of him, but within seconds, those smiles disappeared as i felt a sharp pain on my chest.

A pair of silver heels, with diamonds laced gown, exquisite and memorizing, her entire demeanor screams elegance, she walked side by side w

ith Ethan, with hands entwined, exchanging glances and smiles here and there. I felt my breath hitched.
