“DO YOU REALLY think you’re going to find your mate in the mating ceremony?” My half-sister Georgia asked as she was busy scrolling through her phone. She looked up at me with her brow arched high and then she scanned me from head to toe with full confidence of whatever she was saying. “Look at you, my little half-sister. You look like trash. If you ever find your mate in the ceremony, I believe he will reject you right away!”
Before I left my room, I made sure that everything was perfect. From my makeup, to my hair and dress. I was confident that I would enter the mating ceremony with confidence but all of the confidence I gathered before I left my room was drained when Georgia commented on how I looked tonight. She insulted me so badly.
“Georgia, can we stop arguing just for tonight? This is an important night for me… I mean, for us,” I mumbled as I chewed my lower lip, trying to avoid her eyes.
“Oh, Iris!” She rolled her eyes, slipped the phone inside of her red handbag before she focused on me. “Even if I stop tonight, believe me, no man would want to be with someone like you, a lowly omega she-wolf,” she smirked.
I gasped as I felt like a sharp knife stabbed my chest. I have been waiting for this night to come. When I finally meet my mate, he will rescue me from this cruel life. I was the youngest in my family… the youngest and my mother’s sin. At first, I didn’t know why my father, together with one of my sisters Georgia, didn't like me. They always bully me for some reason that even if I tried to ask over and over, they won’t tell me the reason. Until mom died when I turned ten.
Father finally told me that I wasn’t his biological daughter, that mom had an affair with someone else who he didn’t know and he would not dare to find the man who ruined their perfect family. My half sisters made me believe that I am a cursed child, that every bad thing that’s happening in their life was all because of me. And as I grew up I started to believe that it was true because I never had luck in my life and if I interfered with my sisters’ businesses, they always failed.
When I first released my wolf, Sunshine, I finally had someone to rely on. She told me that finding my mate will surely be the end of my curse… or so we thought.
As I entered the mating ceremony’s venue, everyone was having fun. I realized that Georgia was right, that I looked like trash with my white simple dress, with a pair of white sandals that I got from my mother’s closet. I don’t have new clothes, I can’t because I don’t have enough money to buy them. father gave me enough money, which was the money my mother left for me. He said that the money that mom left will run out soon and I have to work part-time if I want to continue my studies. Which is what I am working on lately. My older sister Georgia bought a new dress yesterday with father but they didn’t even bother to buy me even a cheap one. Well, because I am not father’s daughter and he said that I am not his responsibility. That hurts, but that’s true.
Looking around the venue, I feel out of place. I don’t have any friends, because everyone sees me as the lowly omega who was born out of wedlock.
So I stepped back.
“Where are you going, Iris?” My wolf Sunshine asked.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I belong here.”
“Our mate is near, don’t leave yet.”
When I finally convinced myself that I should just go, Sunshine told me to stay. I inhaled and exhaled before I looked around to find a seat that’s not far from the door, so if ever I decide to leave, it will be easier.
I don’t have any plans on looking around the place. Because each time I do, I pity myself for not having the same clothes as them. I feel so insecure…
While waiting to find my mate here just like what Sunshine said, I finally smelled something sweet. A delicious scent I have never smelled before. I couldn’t explain what I’m smelling, but it’s not just an ordinary scent that I can just smell anywhere.
“Our mate!” Sunshine exclaimed with excitement. Her tails are wagging, she was more excited than me.
