“When did you arrive in Hertfordshire?” Jack asked politely. His eyes shine with excitement. An Alpha’s presence means that it’s really happening. The trials.
I shift uncomfortably in my seat. Alpha Reed is burning a hole in my cheek but I ignore him and take a sip of water. My eyes are trained on a blemish on the table cloth.
“I arrived yesterday. I must say, I wasn’t expecting to see any students before the beginning of the semester.” Alpha Reed leans forward and takes a piece of bread from the basket. He breaks off a piece and slowly pops it into his mouth. He has all the confidence in the world. I guess that it’s natural when you lead a pack his size.
“Oh, well, Wren stayed at the Academy over the summer.” Jack says flippantly and I want to kick him under the table.
“What’s your Family name, Wren?” the Alpha asks delicately. “Why didn’t you spend the summer with your pack?”
I don’t know why, but I’ve had enough.
I stand up and pick up my handbag. I can’t take it anymore.
I’m not good enough to be anyone’s mate. I’m just an Omega to Jack and I hate it. Jack said I was special but Jack was a liar.
Just like everyone else.
