A New Friend

I'm running through the forest. But its weird I'm not running on two legs but on four. Suddenly I come to a stop by a crystal lake I take one look into it and I see my green eyes staring back at me. I'm beautiful the sun blazing against my white fur. I stare back at my reflection instead of the sad eyes that once were are now filled with pure bliss. My ears were pointed with hints of black. My nose was a beautiful rosie pink. I looked to be truly what's the word I think this is what its called being happy and free. For once in my life I truly feel like I can be myself like I belong.

A knock at my door had woken me up from my deep slumber. "mmmm, Y-yes who is it." I said as I stretched.

"It's me Roxie I am to be your guide for this evening. The alpha has commanded me to show you around the pack. Um may I come in?" Roxie hollered from the other side.

"Yes please come in."

In entered a woman she had blonde curly hair and sparkling blue eyes with a button nose.

"Shall we get you dressed and prepare for breakfast and a stroll through our pack."

I simply nodded"um Roxie what time is it exactly?"

Roxie replied "It is exactly 6 o'clock in the morning. We must hurry before all the breakfast is taking."

"wait!"

Roxie stopped what she was doing and glanced at me " Yes ma'am is everything alright?"

"Soo we all eat together everyone of every single rank?"

Roxie had a stunned look upon her face " of course the omegas are incharge of preparing the food but we eat as a pack. Alpha always said a pack is only as strong as our weakest link. The omegas are like the base of the pack they keep things going. They keep the pack houses clean and food on the table while the Alpha, Beta, and warriors go off to train to keep everyone safe."

"oh" It was so different here my father would never let a low rank eat at the table with the higher ranks therefore, I was not permitted to even step foot into the kitchen the same time as my father was or automatic beating. I once watched him beat a young boy to death just for grabbing a slice of bread. Then he strung him up on a lamp post as a warning, what the Alpha says goes there will be no mercy especially for me, a human.

Roxie laid out some blue ripped jeans and a gray t-shirt. Of course some panties and bra and socks. I simply grabbed the clothes and headed for the bathroom. After I got ready I put my long brunette hair into a messy bun and on my way out the bathroom door I went. To my surprise Roxie was there making my bed. "Oh um thank you Roxie you really didn't have to"

She replied "Oh please its my pleasure. Now are you Ready."

She quickly went out the door with me fast on her heels. When we finally made it down to the kitchen it was packed It seemed like everyone and their mama was here well they kinda were. Werewolves of all ages were here children, adults. and even the seniors were here each taking what they needed and not to be too greedy but to make sure everyone had their share.

Then Roxie spoke "Come on now we must grab some before its all gone." She quickly led me to where the food was at. The smell of eggs, bacon , and sausage filled my nose. Hey what can I say I was brought up with werewolves this was the ultimate breakfast.

"So um Roxie where is the Alpha?"

Roxie looked back to me "He's handling some pack business."

"What about?"

Roxie just shrugged "I don't know. I'm sure Jax will tell me once he gets back."

"You know Beta Jax?"

"Of course I should considering he's my mate and all."

I looked at her stunned "Beta Jax is your mate? So if you don't mind me asking why are you still an omega?"

Roxie gave me a slight smile " Believe it or not some people are happy just being omegas. I feel like I have a greater purpose being an omega than I would a higher rank. Any way lets eat." Roxie hurried to find a seat and I quickly followed behind her.

"I'm sorry Roxie I didn't mean to intrude. I guess I had my curiosity get the better of me."

"It's fine. I mean I can't really blame you for being curious. I mean if I was you I would want to know too. Its just my family for generation after generation were omegas their mates were also omegas. So for me to be the first to have a higher rank as a mate such as Jax. I am very nervous. Jax is everything a girl could hope for, he's tall, he has a nice smile, and he has these eyes that are just full of mystery. But sometimes I find myself wondering if I am enough. Don't get me wrong I am proud to be an omega because that's just who I am meant to be. But since I found out Jax is my mate I've been finding myself wondering if I am meant to be more." Roxie said this as she sighed with her hand under her chin.

I looked at Roxie and for the first time I related to someone for I too have wondered if I am meant to be more than what I am. Of course it always included me always running away but that was beside the point. Considering the way I was brought up and the pain I always indured from my father's beatings I found the only way to truly escape was in my dreams then I could truly be free.
