The Alpha Rejected and disgraced omega mate. 

Chapter one 

Callista Point of view.

The Alpha Rejected and disgraced omega mate. 

My mind breathed heavily as I couldn't fathom my fate as a weak omega born into a beta and a witch. I have lived all my life with my biological dad and step mom. Wishing for the day I would get to meet my mate and live a free life.

My life changed the day I lost my mom to a drastic illness which has no cure. I was still little 3 years old to be precise. My dad mourned my mom for three years before deciding to take another wife. I thought that would have been the best decision, as my stepmom was the nicest and kindest woman I had ever known. Watching your prayers become a reality is a beautiful thing. Contrary to what others said when you get to meet your step mom but she was the complete opposite as she treated me nicely, and made sure I was fed right. I had no reason to complain whatsoever. 

Everything changed when my step mom became pregnant with my younger sister Athena. She welcomed Athena and I was offered the benevolence of being her child for just a few days before her true color came into being. She reacted to every little mistake and called me the cursed child who killed her mom. I was shocked, I never expected her attitude to change towards me in such a manner.

At the age of Eleven, I get to do manual work above my age.. I only had the opportunity to get to know who my mom was for only a short period of time and what she looked like is still stuck in my head after three years. 

I was Eighteen and was supposed to change to my wolf like all my friends at the age of Eighteen but this did not happen as it was impossible for me. My wolf refused to reveal herself. I was scared and afraid if I would ever get to shift or rather meet my wolf. Everyday piles of plates are arranged for me to wash and clothes, and sweep and cook. At the end of the day I am always so exhausted I could barely eat the cold left over. My weight emaciated to a large degree and I lost weight for someone my age. 

I only have the privilege of imagining what a better life looks like. I fantasize about my mate and the day I would meet him. That was my sure escape out of this life of constant maltreatment from my step mom and her pampered child. 

My sleep was disturbed as I fantasized about meeting my true mate that has been my surviving hope and gaining freedom away from this untold hardship. I was brought to reality by the beauty princess of the house. Anthena, she is my step sister and the daughter of my step mother. Who has occasionally proven to be the true devil she is. Making me do all the hard chores against my wish. I mop, cook, sweep and wash every blessed day. I quickly folded my bed sheet to begin my morning routine. 

 I sigh as I watch the clock go round and time seems to be slow. 

It was still morning as I continued to devour myself in the daily chores or face the consequences of negligence. 

Athena came and stood still before throwing a dress at me. "Take this dress and wear it, the Alpha is having a feast, mom and dad have requested for you to come join in the festival". She said and stormed out, slamming the door behind her. I shut my ears as the sound was too loud. She has been accustomed to behaving in such a manner whenever an instruction has been given to her to pass to me. Not regarding me as her senior. She treats me with utmost disrespect.

My eyes widened in shock. I was stunned. It seems Athena heard wrongly. What does it mean? What's up with the dress? Am I allowed now to attend a party? All my time staying with my dad and step mom. I have been restricted from going out to party or to be seen with them. I was treated like a complete stranger. 

My step mom came in next to confirm my suspicions. " Make sure to finish all these chores before you even think of attending the party". She said, "I want you to be in attendance" .I bowed my head low and replied graciously. "Thank you mom". "How many times have I warned you never to call me your mother". She charged at me as she grabbed a fistful of my hair making me scream out in pain. She pressed my head against the wall. I couldn't resist the torture with the little strength left in me. I tried my best to get her off my head. But I couldn't resist it as she took the aluminum spoon and put it on the fire. "Please, have mercy on me". I pleaded but it fell on deaf ears. She pressed the hot coal and placed it against my skin, giving me a scar on my face. I screamed in agony. What have I truly done to deserve this cruel treatment? 

My heart was broken and shattered into tiny pieces. How was I going to attend the party with such scars on my face? Both my dad and my step mom have insisted I must attend despite the injury which hasn't even received proper first aid. 

I refused to go but my dad spoke this time."Consider yourself not part of this family if you refused your step mother wish". How could he be so blind to my pain?. 

Tears brimmed down my eyes. I looked in the mirror and saw my face was disfigured. 

My heart churned with anxiety. Will my mate accept me for who I am?

The only thing I know about the party is that a lot of people will be around, as Athena has been jubilating about it the whole week and even the Alpha of Crescent moon pack would be there to grace the occasion. I smiled as I felt a little bit of hope. What if I truly get to meet my mate at the party? 

The air filled with excitement. I danced around as the room was filled with joy like something great was about to happen. Indeed I might get to find my mate tonight. I cringed at the thought of it. How does it feel to meet your soulmate? My mind wandered to a thousand and one thought. 

I couldn't contain myself all night. It felt like shadows were dancing on the wall playing a trick on my mind as I roamed and turned in the bed waiting for day break. 

As soon as it was morning, the sun rays flashed through my tiny room. I slept in the basement after Athena was born. My step mother has insisted my room be for her daughter. I expected my dad to object but since he said nothing and didn't stand up for me. I was speechless and dumbfounded and had to take the only available space which is the basement. 

At night I could hear cry's of rats, cats and tiny creatures also finding food, shelter or warmth. They have become my companions and friends when I had no one to talk to. I quickly say a few prayers thanking the moon goddess that my freedom is coming sooner than expected. 

I heard all the stories about maiden meeting their mates and finally getting free from their bondage. I danced around the room without a single music holding the pair of beautiful dresses given to me by Athena . It was her least favorite dress as she had a thousand and one. But to me it was the most beautiful clothes I have ever seen. I hover around my r

oom and lay down thinking about the great event.
