Chapter 1

(Wendy)

Wendy Clayton stepped out of the Omega quarters. She was wearing a brown dress and black slippers. Her red hair shone and bounced as she rushed out to find her mate. She had just turned 18 years old the previous month, and now it was the night of the full moon.

The full moon was out and she scented that sweet coffee scent. Her tummy growled with excitement. Her heart thudding against her rib cage, she rushed out of the pack house, running in search of her mate.

Several werewolves were outside, running to find their mate. The air was thick with excitement, and Wendy believed she would find her mate. She was mute. She couldn't communicate with anyone except using sign language or through her wolf, Poppy.

Wendy shifted to Poppy, running in search of that sweet coffee scent that pulled her. Her large paws hit the ground as Poppy was a red wolf.

When Wendy reached the woods, she stopped. She heard the voices and the moans echoing deeply within the woods. The tall trees shielded her, and she shifted back to herself and hid so that people mating in the woods wouldn't see her.

Her heart burned with pain, and she coughed up blood. There, in the woods, was Alpha Dax Boston, a tall 23-year-old man, completely naked. He was mating with Emma Parker, the Beta's daughter. They were both naked under the full moon.

Wendy's eyes narrowed with betrayal. What was she thinking? Alpha Dax would accept a mute omega like her.

Wendy couldn't speak. She couldn't call them out. She saw Alpha Dax standing behind Emma. His hands on her waist. His cọck thrusting deeply into Emma's wet core.

"Yes, hit me, Alpha. Yes, yes!" Emma moaned, her eyes rolling backwards. Her head fell backwards with excitement. She was kneeling on all four limbs. Alpha Dax was right behind her back. His hands gripping her waist. His thrust pounding deeply into her wetness.

"Yes, right there! Harder, Alpha!" Emma moaned in pleasure.

Wendy's eyes narrowed with hatred. She knew Alpha Dax disliked her. She remembered he had warned her to stop gawking at him. She saw him raise his head and look at her in the woods. Her orange eyes met his light blue eyes. He didn't stop. He didn't withdraw his cọck. She saw him pump faster into Emma's behind until he reached his climax. He moaned in pleasure, and his lips curled up in a smirk at Wendy.

Wendy turned and dashed back to the pack house. Her heart burning with agony. She knew Alpha Dax would not accept her. How dare she think she was befitting to be Luna? She shifted to Poppy.

"I'm sorry, Wendy. I should have told you," Poppy said, her voice thick with pity. Her heart burning too, as they could both feel Alpha Dax's betrayal.

"It's not your fault. If only I could speak. If only I were befitting to be his Luna," Wendy cried, running back home.

When she reached the pack house, many who had found their goddess-gifted mates had gone home. There were few people standing outside. They looked at Wendy with disgust. Many of them didn't like her. She was mute. Like a stain in the pack.

Wendy walked to her parents' quarters. She found her mother, Juliet, and her father, Amos, standing at the front door. Her mother was fair-skinned like Wendy, with red hair too. She served as a servant for the Alpha's family. Her father was a warrior too, but of lower rank.

"Wendy! What happened? Did you find your mate?" Her mother rushed to hold her when she saw how Wendy looked. Her father stepped forward. His face filled with pity. Her mother spoke to her through the mindlink.

Wendy shook her head to indicate no. Her heart breaking. Tears poured out of her eyes. She couldn't tell her parents she was mated to the Alpha's son. Alpha Neo and his mate, Stella, didn't like Wendy's parents. Her body trembled under her mother's comforting hug.

"It's fine. You will find your goddess-gifted mate. You don't have to cry. You're still young, and there are many chances and full moons to come," her mother comforted her, her tone soft, her hands hugging Wendy.

"Let's go in," her mother said, before turning to take her inside.

Wendy met her father's gaze. He sighed and stepped forward. "Have faith in the Moon Goddess. She will bless you with a mate," he spoke to her through the mindlink, and Wendy nodded. She didn't want to tell her parents the truth. She feared what Alpha Neo and his mate, Stella, would do to her parents. She knew Luna Stella disliked her mother because of her beauty and natural red hair.

Wendy walked with her parents to their Omega quarters. She heard some of the omegas laughing at her.

"What did Wendy think? That she would find her goddess-gifted mate? Haha! Even mutes want fated mates!" It was Nadia Nicolas laughing at Wendy. Nadia was an omega too, but she was closer to the Beta's family because Emma Parker was her friend.

"A mute with hope? We, who can talk, haven't found our mate. Useless omega!" Rita spat, her eyes shooting daggers at Wendy.

"Don't pay attention to them, Wendy," her mother said. Her hands moved to cover Wendy's ears, and she led her to their suite. It was a mini house, built among other omega quarters in the large pack house. The house was a mini three-bedroom apartment. Wendy had her own personal room. Her older brother, Ruben, had one room, while her parents had one.

Ruben came home, knowing Wendy had gone to find her mate. He wore a brown top and black trousers with black boots. He was training to be a pack warrior. He had brown hair like their father. He walked to meet Wendy.

"Did you find your mate?" he asked her, his voice thick with concern.

Wendy shook her head and brushed her brother's hands off her shoulder. She dashed into her room, shut the door, and sank on the floor crying.

"Wendy, you will find your mate. Have hope!" Ruben said as he pounded on the door.

"Wendy, I came home to see you. If you didn't find your mate today, you can find him some other time, okay?"

Wendy mindlinked her brother. "Okay. I need to sleep. Goodnight."

She moved away from the floor and went to bed to sleep. Her heart burning from the pain of Alpha Dax's betrayal.

'How will she reject him?' She pondered.
