Chapter 2: Noella

There are three Alphas’ that I know of but haven’t seen. The Alpha of BlueMoon Pack, the Alpha of RedMoon Pack, and the Alpha of BlackMoon—the one I have nemesis with is the Alpha of BlackMoon; he is the leading Alpha even within other packs. His strength, speed, and ego surpass those of everyone in other packs; he is highly respected and unapproachable. At the sound of his name, every wolf hides, but he's a huge model in the world of women. They greatly admired him from afar.

I was pushed by my relatives to join the Omegas. They really belittled me, and for some reason, my pride was hurt. Some of the Omegas that saw me in the queue were shocked and surprised; some gossiped and mocked me; shame was written all over my face.

"I know what I want. I have to push forward. This is another chance; though I don't know which Alpha's hand I will fall into, I won't give up now." I chin up after mustering up courage and listen to the Beta captain as he addresses us.

We all looked rejected and dirty, from our faces down to our feet. We were barefoot, dressed in dirty dresses, and our hair was unkempt. We looked awful; even the captain had to stand far from us the whole time he spoke.

"There are fifty of you Omegas. I'll be dividing you all into three groups, and each of you must dress up beautifully tonight to serve the Alpha Lord given to you," he halts.

"You're not allowed to complain, cry, or talk back at any of the Lord's people; otherwise, your life won't be your own to keep." His eyes rolled around the lines as if in search of something.

"Now start grouping yourself. Fifteen in each group," he commanded, and noise filled the atmosphere.

The ladies started struggling between themselves to join their desired group. I stood in their midst, swaying left and right at each push and shading. I'm yet to make a decision.

Soon the noise is subtle, and it seems everyone has settled in in their desired line. I proceed to the first group.

"NO!!" The ladies shouted at my face in anger with full vim.

I wondered why they detested me so much as I tried the next group, which did the same thing. The captain watched as I moved to each group and got rejected. I finally settled in the last group that had helpless ladies like me.

"Good!" The captain’s voice came up again after some minutes.

"I'll assign some Gammas to escort you to the Far East stream. Have a bath there and prepare to serve the Alpha," the captain said in a bold, loud tone.

"You haven't assigned them an Alpha yet," a Gamma reminded them courteously.

"Group one will serve the BlueMoon Alpha, Group two will serve the RedMoon Alpha, and Group three will serve our Alpha, the BlackMoon Lord," the captain meticulously informed.

Did I hear him clearly? I'll be serving our ruthless Alpha. This is good luck in disguise.

Happiness filled my heart after so many years; I was so happy that opportunity knocked at my door so fast. I'm so happy that my plans are slowly falling into places. I can't wait to serve the Alpha.

We walked the grassy path down the Far East stream, one of my favorite spots in this kingdom.

While walking to the stream with Gammas surrounded beside us, I started reminiscing on the past when my parents' were still alive. They took me to the city for the first time to stock our mansion; that was also the last time I saw the city. It was said that we were in the savannah of the city, the forest where humans never visit. That's where the Black Moon Pack resides.

"Get in," one of the ladies pushed me hardly into the cold water, and then I realized my current location; I zoned out on the way here.

The Gammas stood far away from us while we took up our dresses and started bathing. I stood clueless in the clear stream while other ladies swam and splashed water on each other; they were laughing and smiling happily. I dived into the water and brought my head back up.

Whoa!" I exhaled in relief. The cold water gave me calm chills and made me feel fresh and energetic.

After our beauty bath, the Gammas led us into a warehouse to change into a white, clean garment. Due to the fact that we would be serving the Alphas, we were treated with respect, but it won't last after we are used.

At the thought of this, I felt sad. I couldn't believe the true fact that my nemesis was going to be the one to take away my dignity—he would be my first everything. I shoved the thoughts away as I changed into a neat white garment.

"Let's move! Let's move!" The Gammas chanted in a loud tone, and other ladies started changing rashly.

"I can do this," I continued muttering in a low tone as we started dividing ourselves and taking different routes. I was among the fifteen ladies heading to the Black Moon Alpha's secluded resident.
