My Mate Is An Omega – Chapter 1

Caitlyn POV

The world went silent as I stood outside, staring through the window. I could see my reflection in the glass, and was once again reminded of the harsh reality – I was only an Omega. Even though I worked hard to look my best for the occasion, it wasn’t enough to hide the truth about my identity. My fair skin wasn’t tan like a warrior’s; my long chestnut hair with curly ends didn’t shine under the sunlight; my hazel eyes weren’t as vivid as emeralds or sapphires. Nothing about me was remotely special. I was just an average girl.

Yet, when Gamma Caleb Tremblay messaged me one hour ago, on the morning of my eighteenth birthday, I believed he had seen something special in me. He told me to meet him in the guestroom of the pack house. My wolf, Faye, whom I had met just a few hours ago, convinced me to accept his invitation. He had always been a close friend, but when he turned eighteen two years ago, he became distant. It all made sense for a second – when he got his wolf, he figured out that I was his mate and didn’t want to ruin the surprise for me. At least, that was what I foolishly thought.

ouldn’t bring myself to look away. I was completely frozen; even my wolf had gone quiet. I watched Caleb impale the former Beta’s daughter one last time, roaring as he reached his release. He removed himself from her, slapping her a*s before he stood up. Naked and covered in sweat, he walked towards me, opening the window.

But he started to change when he came of age…” He paused briefly, staring at me. “Why am I telling you that? You already know. You used to be friends, after all.”
