I’ve been looking for a target for the last hour. This one is troublesome but the money is good, so I’ve got to finish this job, a girl’s got to eat. I got this mission two days ago but the target was quite smart, he didn’t leave any traces behind. I had to wait patiently for almost 72 hours for him to make a mistake. He finally made a mistake an hour ago and forgot about the CCTV around a dilapidated airport.
It was truly an old airstrip, small too. The CCTV around the airport was old too and nobody ever bothered with it. This was what gave me his location and I followed him for almost an hour. I watched him for around ten minutes and made sure he wasn’t moving before calling in.
“ The target is in Juba, South Sudan. According to the satellite images, there are five armed men in the compound. Two are rotating, two are guarding the doors and one is on the roof, he is a sniper.” I replied to the client and then logged out and closed my laptop. I have been doing these small missions to help me pay for college and, obviously, my food. I am good at decoding codes, so finding people or things is one of my specialties and it pays so damn well. People know me as Hades, the angel of death, because I will find you no matter where you are. I get out of my daydream and lock my closet. Yes, that’s where I put my babies

I have to go back to the pack house to finish my work. I can’t wait to leave this place and country. I mean Canada is a nice country, but I need a bigger playing field.
‘Bigger playing field, you mean Canada is not enough! I can’t even run one lap around this stupid pack and you want a bigger playing field!’ That, my people, is my lazy ass wolf, Zaya.
Maybe I will leave with my best friends when they go to college in California. I will have to talk to them and we plan where we can live unless they want to live in Dark moon pack with the cold Alpha King.
‘Answer me you dimwit.’ ‘Zaya shut up, you know very well my work requires me to travel and I finally want to start a gaming company.’
‘ Okay dumbdumb, I’m with you no matter what. You know if we don’t find our mate after two years you have to do that magic you do with your tiny fingers and find him’ She says that and blocks me out.
Zaya is too big for her lazy ass. I sometimes wonder if she is lazy because of her size or her sass. Hehe I don’t care so long as she can hunt and feed her big stomach. I don’t mind, I love her no matter what. We werewolves have mates and the pairing is done by our lovely goddess, some even get human mates. I really don't want a mate, I still want to add to my billions. I have to fulfill my dreams and help out omegas all over the world. I know we are the larger population and most of us are enslaved.
Anger bubbles in me and Zaya opens up her link. This is the only thing that angers us , the mistreatment of omegas. No, we are not weak, even though our wolves are smaller compared to other ranks, we are the most blessed rank. This is what Sally and Ally have been telling me since we became best friends. They have been my shoulders to lean on and have protected me from pack abuse since that day the alpha’s boy hurt me.
The stupid boy felt it necessary to teach me a lesson about something I didn’t do. He beat me to a pulp and marked my back with a silver knife with the words ‘Hades’. Though that is all I remember, I know there is something tragic that happened before, but I can't really place it in my memories.
From that day on, I loathed that man and I couldn’t bow to him as an alpha. He will be getting his title tomorrow and announcing his luna. The goddess made it so that an alpha would always find his luna in his own pack, so as to strengthen him and the pack’s future. This is an exception to the Alpha king.
The door was slammed open. Sally and Ally walk in with cheeky grins, “ guess what bff, we are going to Cali tomorrow after the ceremony and the best part is you are coming with us as our maid.” My eyes widen in surprise, “ How did you manage that!” “ Well we lied, to get the alpha’s permission. Since you are an omega and the pack’s 'illiterate whore', the alpha didn’t see it as a loss to send you with us. Oh, we will be staying just outside of the Dark Moon pack. Somewhere close for protection but out of their pack business,” Ally explains.
I jumped up and started laughing like a mad woman. I am the happiest. Even Zaya can’t break my choking laugh. I am tackled to the floor and the twins cover my big mouth, “ What do you think you are doing you fool! You will awaken the pack's ancestors with your laugh.” I nodded to show them I understood and they let go. They left me to pack my belongings as I danced around. If someone had seen me they could’ve called the doctor but I don’t care, nothing can break my happy dance.

Tomorrow I get the title and I am so happy and I also can’t wait to get my mate and Luna. I just pray she will be strong. I hope it’s Lilly. Though she has a big mouth, I love that she is from a strong line of gammas and she is one of the best warriors in the pack. ‘What if we get an omega?’ My wolf asks with a sneer, I know he is a strong wolf and one of the black wolves that are blessed. ‘We will reject the omega and take a chosen who will be worthy of our strength’ I tell him and he bobs his head up and down.
“ Hey alpha, ready for tomorrow?” Lilly says as she enters my room and closes the door behind her. I smile knowing what is to come, this whore wants some dick and I am going to give it to her. All night long we are at it and I admire her stamina. She will make a great luna if she can match my vigor.
In the morning, I woke up to a beautiful site. Lilly is really beautiful, though I now know that she is not my mate because I can’t smell her scent. I got off bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for my ceremony. When I came back, I found Lilly was gone and the pack whore was cleaning my room. Wait, she is my mate! My wolf growls at her and blocks our link, such a coward he left me to deal with the rejection alone.
“Look at me slut!” She turns around quickly and removes her earphones from her ears, now I know why she didn’t hear me. I watch as she starts to smell the air and I see realization dawn on her. I smugly smirk at her and start without regret, “ I Austin Marcus, alpha of the Blue Moon pack, reject you Ophellia Hades as my mate and luna. Accept the rejection whore!” Nothing prepared me for whatever she said next. “ I, Ophellia ‘Hades’, accept your rejection and break all bonds and ties to the Blue moon pack.” She bows dramatically like she was performing a really good show and sashays out of my room.
I am so confused by everything. Aren’t omegas supposed to be too weak to handle a rejection? Well, I will have to choose Lilly as my mate, she is the one for me and mark her in front of everybody. Let’s see if that omega will still live. I have a smug look at the thought.
I got ready and headed down for breakfast.

After the girls left me in my room, I packed my things neatly and got ready. I couldn’t sleep that night, so I did my chores all through the night and in the morning I finished in Austin’s room. I was so busy but I felt a presence behind me. I just ignored it and continued with my work, “Look at me slut!” Well, this day will be good. I removed my earphones even though I was listening to nothing. I turned around, and caught the scent and I knew Austin was my mate. I was going to reject him but he did it first, so I just accepted it and bowed dramatically and left swinging my hips like I just had fun.
‘ Dumbdum keep walking like that and maybe he will change his mind and take you back and maybe you will live here as his luna for all eternity and I will leave you to deal with him.’ A cold shiver ran down my back and I started imagining that scenario. I changed my stance immediately and acted weak with tears in my eyes.
‘ You can go cut onions so that you can cry better and louder. Make sure you look the part. We can even look for bees to sting our eyes so as to look swollen. What do you think, human?’ This stupid wolf will be the death of me one day, but the onions idea is cool. I walked to the kitchen and made myself busy. I prepared onions for the next three hours until I had the alpha through the link telling us to go to the open field for the alpha celebration. I know how I look with tear-stained cheeks, swollen eyes and a pink face. You’d think my mate had died. I want to laugh at that thought, but I don’t want people looking at me right now and thinking that I lost it.
So I walked and stood behind the omegas. I really don’t have status in this pack, since they can’t sense my wolf, they think I’m human. I just let them be, I zone out and the pain in my neck brings me out of my day dream. So he literally chose the pack slut to be his luna, huh who saw that coming! Though the pain is too much, I have to stand and wait for this ceremony to end.
A tear slipped down and I wiped it. I promised myself to never let the mate bond hurt this much. I know in my situation I will be granted a second chance mate which I don’t want at all. I walked out and headed toward the omegas' cabin. I pick up my bags and load them into the SUV in front of the pack house. After I was done, I stood leaning on the car to wait for the twins.
After thirty minutes, I saw them walking towards me with their parents. They were all smiles but you could see the sadness in their eyes. I went in after them and a warrior took the driver's side and we drove off. After we left the territory, I felt the pack’s link cut off for good. Now I’m a rogue.

Alpha Austin is busy showing off his chosen luna to his pack when he feels a connection breaking. He holds his chest and a wave of pain hits him, but he won’t show weakness to his pack, so he smiles and continues waving like the freak he is.
