The next day, I was surprised to find an exhausted looking Ellie wiping her forehead with a tissue. I looked around to see thousands of plates and trays laid out, it was enough to feed two packs for breakfast.

“Ellie, what’s going on? Who is all this food for? Did you make this all yourself? Have you even slept?” I asked worriedly.

“I wish, Alpha told me last night to get all this food ready for this morning because another pack will be staying with us for a while,” a tired Ellie replied.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I would have helped you,” I scolded the only friend I had before making her sit down on a stool to rest.

“I didn’t think to ask anyone for help, I was so worried I wouldn’t finish on time. I can’t stop, I have to serve the guests when they arrive,” Ellie protested and tried to get up but I stopped her.

“You aren’t doing anything, you aren’t able to do anything after that. I’ll serve the pack, you need to rest,”

“You can’t serve everyone by yourself,” Ellie disagreed and I knew she was right. Plus there was no one else who would help us. I’m the only omega and Ellie is the only cook in the pack. Other wolves aren’t expected to help nor would they offer to unless the Alpha ordered them to which didn’t seem likely.

“Fine you can help but knowing you, you haven’t eaten so you have to eat and rest until it’s time to hand out the food ok?” I relented.

“Ok,” Ellie agreed and grabbed some left over food from last night to eat, I made myself a plate too because I knew I would need to keep my energy up, I had a long day ahead of me. I would have to help Ellie with lunch and dinner and then again tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after that and so on until the other pack left. I wonder why they are staying over anyway. What’s wrong with their pack that they have to stay in our pack?

It wasn’t long before the new pack arrived and Ellie and I had to serve breakfast to everyone. It took us an hour to serve everyone. It was a good job Ellie only made cold dishes because most of it would be cold by now and there would be complaints leading to Ellie getting punished. Most likely I would have been punished too with being the omega. Although, Ellie and I haven’t been punished by Alpha Drew much. We rarely see him, he’s so busy being Alpha, he’s always in his office and rarely come out unless it’s to eat.

After all the food had been served, Ellie and I were exhausted, more Ellie than me. Alpha Drew told Ellie, she didn’t have to cook for the rest of the day and was told to go rest in her room. The same couldn’t be said for me, I had to assist the guests with their luggage if they asked but thankfully only a few families required my assistance after which I headed off to my room but not before checking on Ellie. She was fast asleep in her bed. I don’t blame her after the night and morning she has had.

I was ready for bed too but before I could get there, I was stopped by a couple from the other pack who had arrived late. They needed help with their luggage, I got their luggage up to their room and made my way to my bedroom but yet again I was stopped before I could get there with a soft hand grabbing my forearm from behind. I was pulled back into a wall and gasped when I felt sparks run up my arm from the touch. I assumed it was my mate who had come to ask me for forgiveness but boy was I wrong.

It was a girl, a very pretty girl with long straight black hair, and black eyes with a slim physique. She looks a little like the first mate I had but this girl is even better. I hope she doesn’t reject me too.

“Listen here mate,” the girl spat. “We can never be mates,”

“Why not,” I asked as I felt a pain in my heart. Why is she rejecting me too?

“Because you’re weak, I need a strong mate who can take care of me and protect me. You aren’t able to do that, you can’t even protect yourself. You’re probably a low rank which I could never accept,”

“But I am your mate,” I tried to argue as tears began to form in my eyes.

“Yes and you’re adorable but that isn’t what I need, I’m going to have to reject you,”

“No please don’t. I can change,” I pleaded. “I will train and get stronger, please don’t reject me. I will be worthy to be your mate, I promise,”

“I can’t, I reject you,” my mate decided before walking away and leaving my heart to break into a million pieces as I realised I was rejected again.
