Cathy's heart was beating fast and strong when they left and when her brothers and representatives were out of sight. She felt as if her heart had stopped beating because of the nervousness she was feeling, and she couldn't hear anything else but the pounding of his chest. Not only that, Cathy also couldn't look her brothers in the eyes because she knew she was the one to blame.
"Goodness, that's almost it," Cathy whispered softly.She also saw that Vin and Ole were also relieved, but the three of them knew that the verdict had not yet been reached. They will wait for the representatives to leave and make sure that her brothers will not miss it, especially her older brother, Jude. Her father and mother will continue the scolding."Um, Miss, I think we should go back," Ole said hesitantly.Vin nodded twice. "It's okay that Sir Jude and the others saw us instead of Duke. If Duke Dominic and Duchess Alice find out about it, we will definitely be punished more severely."Cathy knows why her two beta-aids are scared. Her parents really stick to the rules. If something is forbidden, it is forbidden; nothing more is said. Furthermore, they're the leader of this pack. That's why Ole and Vin are so afraid of the leader of the Northern Pack."All right."Without further ado, Cathy, Vin, and Ole left the village and returned to the mansion. The representatives stay in the west villa, which is just in front of the mansion, which is why it is not possible for Cathy to just leave her room.When they arrived and entered the room, Cathy immediately dropped her body on her bed. "If you're looking," she said softly.She didn't think that when she sneaked out of the mansion, what she feared would happen there would happen, and she never thought she would see her three brothers in the center of the village.Even if she hasn't entered the coming-of-age stage, it's still a risk for the omega to go out without a companion, especially if she doesn't have an alpha yet. That's why Cathy's family is so afraid of her going out on her own when she is fearless herself.If Cathy didn't have a strong inner wolf, they would definitely not allow her to enter W Academy."Hey." Cathy opened her eyes and turned to see where her aid named Ole was. "I wonder how Marc. I will find out the news about him."Ole immediately bowed and said nothing more; he just left.Cathy knows that the fatal attraction of the fated mate is really strong. If you stop it, your life will definitely be in more danger, and you will be fighting the alpha of that omega.Also, out of a hundred percent, only zero point zero zero one finds a fated mate. Because of the fatal attraction, even though they have no feelings for each other, they fall in love."Vin, fated mate is so scary, right?" Cathy whispered.Vin looked over. "I don't know, Miss Cathy. After all, I am a beta. We don't have a fated mate like you alphas and omegas, but we do have a mate. If I compare what happens to us, betas, to what happens to you alphas and omegas, it's true, it's scary."Cathy just stared and closed her eyes again. "But there are still some omegas who died because they were rejected by their alpha," Cathy added.Cathy remembered what happened to an omega that they had heard a story about before. There was an omega who died because his alpha rejected him. Those two are fated mates, but they end up ruining their lives. That was one of Cathy's fears."I hope that doesn't happen to Marc," Cathy prayed.Vin stopped, turned around, and looked at Cathy. "Miss, you know Marc; he is not the type of omega who is easily discouraged. After all, he grew up with you. You have the same mindset. Even if the Eastern Representative Vellum dislikes him, Sir Marc will not despair."Cathy sighed, not speaking. She agreed with the part that Marc is strong and not easily discouraged, but she disagreed with the part that Marc will not feel despair; that is impossible. After all, she's an omega.Omegas are very fragile when it comes to their mates. They could do everything for their alpha, but once their alpha abandoned them, they would surely die of suffocation and rejection.That's what some betas like Vin don't understand."Miss." Cathy turned and saw Ole. "Sir Marc's sudden heat subsided a lot. Duchess Alice said there are still some pheromones left to leak since he has faced his fated alpha, but this is enough to calm him down. The guard also told me that the day before the all representatives leaves, Vellum would talk to Marc and his family."Cathy immediately understood the meaning of Ole's report. It just means Vellum is acknowledging Marc as his fated mate.Cathy was relieved. At least she knows that he will accept him. Even so, she needed to talk to him."Once everything is settled, find a chance for me to talk to Vellum. It's okay even with Marc. I just want to warn him."Vin and Ole looked at each other. They know Cathy, and since they have been serving here for a long time, they already know her behavior.Cathy is the type of person who really appreciates being different. She doesn't want anything bad to happen to her friend, especially if they are really close. As far as Cathy was concerned, they knew that she would speak up to strengthen Marc's position in Vellum's pack.Their young miss is really courageous and admirable.The next morning, the second match in the Beta Warrior Selection started an hour earlier than the scheduled time. At that time, Vellum was among those sitting in the representative seat.The four dominant alpha outsiders sitting just below Duke Dominic's family were looked upon and truly admired.The battle lasted for several hours until the other beta won and Duke Dominic could choose the warroirs.Fifteen.Out of the fifty who took the Beta Warrior Selection, only fifteen got in, and Sean was included in that. Sean was very happy and proud to face Cathy.Cathy snorted. "Even if you're chosen, you still won't win over me."Sean grabbed his chest, pretending to be hurt. "That mouth of yours, Cathy, has no brakes. You're making me sick."Cathy rolled her eyes. "Is it my fault that you are weaker than me?"Sean clapped his hands. "Wow, I didn't think your head would be so high, Cathy."Cathy picked up something from her surroundings and threw it at Sean. "You really ruin the mood sometimes!"When the afternoon came, Cathy heard that Marc was going to join Vellum on his way to the Eastern Pack. Not only that, Cathy was surprised that Vellum was able to quickly agree with Marc's parents, as they care for Marc a lot."Miss, I told Sir Marc." Cathy violently turned to Ole. "I told him that you want him and Vellum to talk, and if possible, they should go here alone."Cathy stood up and gave a thumbs-up. "Very good!" She exclaimed and smiled widely. "Now, let's get ready."At first, Vin and Ole didn't understand this, but when Cathy took her cape, they immediately sighed and followed her.Cathy went to her receiving room and was sure Vellum and Marc would be waiting there.Meanwhile, on the other hand, his face was red as Marc held his scarp in one hand and his fated mate's hand on the other. He didn't think that this time he would meet his fated mate, he just thought that he would only have a normal relationship with the alpha and that's why when Vellum came, he didn't expect it."Are you sure it's okay for me to see Miss Cathy? We were forbidden to see her before," Vellum said softly, holding Marc's hand tightly.Because of this, Marc noticed that Vellum was nervous and restless.Marc laughed weakly. "Don't say you're nervous to see Cathy?"Vellum halted. "Yeah," he answered. "Who wouldn't? The Duke and his three sons give us a stern warning to stay away from her," he added.Marc laughed. "I already asked for the Duke Dominic and Duchess Alice's permission, and they granted me this one. They allowed me to introduce you to Cathy. Cathy is our leader in our little omega circle, so I can't bear not introduce you to her. Also, she will be angry if I don't introduce you to her."Vellum patted his chest with his other hand. "His brothers are scary; can't she be scary too?"Marc stopped for a moment, thinking about it. "She's scary? I don't think so. For us, Cathy is really nice. When it comes to outsiders, maybe." He shrugged his shoulders. Marc burst out laughing when he saw Vellum's reaction. "I'm just kidding. That's okay, Cathy won't hurt you."Vellum pouted his lips. "It's not a funny joke."The smile couldn't be removed from Marc's lips. He never thought that a dominant alpha like Vellum, who was one of the most admired in the Eastern Pack, would have this kind of attitude.When they arrived in front of the door of Cathy's receiving area, the beta male guarding it immediately bowed. After that, he knocked and then spoke, "Miss Cathy, Sir Marc and Sir Vellum are here.""Let them in."Vellum's face immediately showed surprise. Just from her voice alone, Vellum knew she had a beautiful and angelic face. Apart from that, if, for him, Marc is the most beautiful omega he has ever seen, he knows that in the eyes of others, Marc's leader is the most beautiful. He doesn't know why her family is hiding her though.When Marc and Vellum entered, they immediately saw Cathy facing the window with her back and turned around. Just by looking at her back, everyone aside from those who had a mate would fall in love in an instant.When it appeared, Vellum couldn't believe it. The beauty of the omegas in the Northern Pack was undeniably superior to the beauty of the omegas boasted in the Eastern Pack and Capital."Cathy, finally, you showed yourself." Marc approached her and hugged her. "Sorry, I made you worried."Cathy shook her head. "As long as you're okay, I'm fine with that." Cathy shifted her gaze and landed on Vellum. Vellum gulped when he saw how she stared at him. "And I suppose you're Vellum of the Eastern Pack, right?"Vellum immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Miss Cathy. I am Vellum, the second dominant alpha in the Eastern Pack."When Vellum stood up properly, Cathy immediately looked at him, sizing him. She won't let Marc just end up with someone who won't appreciate him."Vellum, was it?""Yes.""Are you sure you'll take care of Marc?"Vellum stopped but immediately answered, without hesitation. "Yes!""Can you be sure that you will be able to protect him, not let him be hurt, not let him be alone and underestimated just because he is someone from another pack?"Vellum's face darkened at Cathy's question, but Cathy knew it only meant one thing: she was ready to sacrifice everything."Yes!"Cathy walked closer. "You know the alpha's instinct and possessiveness, don't you?" Vellum nodded. "I'm telling you, omegas are possessive too. It's easy for omegas to get angry, especially if there are people trying to usurp their alpha, especially if the bond they have are a fated. Now, can you promise me that Marc will be the only omega in your life until you die?"Vellum placed his fist on his left chest. "I promise. I just want to tell you that we dominant alphas, once we meet our fated mate, they will be our mate for as long as we live."Vellum's chest was full of nervousness when he spoke. He couldn't believe that he would fight with Cathy with words. Not only is Cathy a beautiful omega, but Vellum also feels something strange about her. You think he's different from the omegas. That's probably the reason why Marc has so much respect for him, and Vellum can see it."Cathy," Marc called, holding her hand. "Thanks for worrying about me, but I promise I'll be happy."Cathy sighed because she knew there was nothing she could do. "Fine," she answered, and she patted his head. "Promise me that when something bad happens to you, you will tell me immediately. When those Eastern Pack bullied you, tell me. I will make them submit and beg for your forgiveness, understood?"It was a normal talk for Marc, but it sent shivers down Vellum's spine. He didn't think there was anything scarier than his father."You are still part of my circle, Marc. Now, go ahead. I guess you guys already settled everything." She looked at Vellum. "Do you intend to mark him tonight?""Cathy!"Cathy laughed out loud when she saw Marc's face turn red. He never thought Cathy would talk like that in front of an alpha.Vellum smiled, and not only his lips were smiling but also his eyes. "Yes," he answered honestly.Marc elbowed Vellum on the side of his stomach, which only made Cathy laugh so much. After that, they said goodbye.Finally, Cathy felt at ease. At least she knows that her friend will be in good hands and in good condition. At least Vellum isn't like other alphas. Cathy saw all the answers to her question in Vellum's determined eyes."That dominant alpha's eyes look so determined," Ole commented."I saw desperation and admiration too," Vin added.Cathy just smiled and then drank her wine. At least now she only has to worry about the three. She will make sure the three get married before her.After the celebration, everything went back to normal. Even so, the joy and smiles of the people of the Northern Pack still do not disappear. You think they just don't have the cold weather.Since their pack is in the north, they are used to the cold. They are also used to food, especially during the height of a strong blizzard. If other people dislike the north because of its violence and cold climate, the Northern Packs do not. Compared to the others, the Northern Pack has thicker and better fur."Cathy."Cathy flinched. He looked up when his father called him. He knew that he was here in his father's office because he sneaked out of the mansion and his brothers caught him."Yes?"Cathy did everything to look as innocent as possible. He knows that it will not be easy to survive his father, but he still has to try.Dominic held his breath when he saw his son's reaction. He knew that she was just pretending to be innocent, but every time he saw this expression on Cathy's face, he coul
As soon as Cathy steps into the lake's water, the surroundings immediately light up. The small waves made by her stepping on the water of the lake look like they have polish because every small wave that is formed when Cathy walks in the water sparkles. Little by little, Cathy's body is becoming more shiny, and there is also glittery dust trailing her. It was as if the goddess of the moon was watching over her. This kind of scenery during the coming of age is quite rare, and it was the first time this happened to the Northern Pack. Cathy's family, including her omega friends aside from Marc, who went to the Eastern Pack, was in awe. They couldn't describe the thing they're feeling right now. "Wow, I never thought I would witness something like this. Isn't this what they call in the legend? The one they talk about the goddess watching an omega?" Rudy asked, quite confused but at the same time thrilled. Meanwhile, on the other hand, his mouth covered Cathy's mother. He did not think
Things happened after Cathy and the others left; for some reason, the noble who went to the Northern Pack to see her and be friends with her and her brothers was dissatisfied. Why wouldn't they if the people, including those in the position, are clearly telling them that they aren't welcome. Dominic, the Duke, his wife, Alice, and their sons are all treating them like normal people. Aside from their general breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they couldn't approach them in private. Gina, who was the ultimate motive, was pissed off. She couldn't even find the right time to be alone in a place with one of Duke Dominic's sons. On the other hand, Cathy's face had no smile or emotion. That was because of his news. Not only one or two tried to get his brothers, and because of this, Vin and Ole, who were traveling with him, were also not in the mood. "Those bitches really know no shame at all. Just kidding, they really went to the North just to find someone to flirt with. They're really a diff
The next day, before sunrise, Cathy received another letter. She almost laughed because of what she read. He didn't think that the Northern Pack nobles would leave the capital empty-handed. They didn't even witness Cathy's coming-of-age ceremony, nor did they manage to make one of Duke Dominic's children friends or even boyfriends. This only meant one thing for the nobles who went to the Northern Pack: Duke Dominic did not appreciate them.For them, they are still higher than Duke Dominic, even though he is a Duke. It was because they live in the capital. For them, living in the capital is the most phosphorus-rich life one person could have. Those nobles think that even the poorest people in the capital are much better than the Duke and his pack. Unbeknownst to them, the strength Duke Dominic had was beyond what they knew. Because of that, they pronounced various curses.Serves you right! What do you think—you can easily spin us in the palms of your hands? No, freaking way!'Until the
Due to the initial restrictions, freshmen omegas have nowhere else to go but their dorm, classroom, and some facilities. Cathy didn't know whether to be upset because of this or happy because she knew that the academy was really taking care of them. However, he was still restless. She wanted to explore, and she didn't know if she would be able to stay in one place or not.She stayed in her pack for her life, and now that she is out of the north, her movements are still restricted. That was one of the reasons why Cathy was not in the mood."Are you okay?" Roxie asked worriedly.Cathy nodded. "Yeah, I'm just a little bored."During the interaction, Cathy found out that Roxie is a socialite. He didn't know if it was good for him or if Roxie had other motives for him because he felt like she knew him."It's just this week. Just bear with it."They both sat in their seats. It wasn't long before their teacher also entered. His face cou
Because of the shock, Cathy was unable to speak. He just stared at the man in front of him. This Alpha was the person he was always looking for.He was staring, seeing if Caisen could recognise him or not. "Omega, if you want me to remove your eyes, just say so."Eventually, Cathy looked away. He took a deep breath and then looked at Caisen again. His eyebrows are high, and his eyes are bold. "Mister Alpha, at least you should know how to respect, right? Also, the road is wide, you can turn at least a little. You don't even have to turn a few inches, and then you want me to avoid it? Is it yours? Cathy could hear the breathing of the students on the side. Cathy secretly looked around and immediately saw the different expressions on their faces. 'Some of them are pitying me; some are hating me. The majority doesn't care. What the fucking kind of place is this? Am I going to start regretting my decisions?'Cathy thinks that way. However, he st
"I heard you talk back to Caisen," Prince Lawrence started in between taking a sip of his tea.Cathy leaned on the backrest. Raised eyebrows. "Why shouldn't it? I mean, I know I'm an omega, but do I have to let him humiliate me? Lawrence, do you think the way my parents and brothers raised me will allow me to take that humiliation without retaliation?"Cathy just heard Prince Lawrence sigh. At first, Prince Lawrence didn't know why Cathy talked back to Caise, but now it seems like her pride won't allow it."Cousin, do you know him? Caisen, I mean."Cathy tilted her head. He didn't know what Prince Lawrence meant. "I know him. His name is Caisen," she said, a little confused.Prince Lawrence looked at Cathy in disbelief. "Huh? That ain't what I mean!""Then what?""That man..."Prince Lawrence didn't know whether he should say it or not. Seeing Cathy's reaction, he couldn't tell if she knew or not. If he lied, he'd definitely be scolded by this woman in front of him. Even if he's a pri
Cathy returned to her dorm. When he finished taking a shower and getting himself ready, someone immediately knocked.Cathy frowned because it was too early for someone to knock on her door. Also, he didn't expect anyone to visit him.Cathy did not speak; she approached the door and looked through the peep hole to see who knocked.When he saw Roxie, he immediately relaxed. He smiled and then opened the door."You scared the hell out of me." Cathy immediately opened the door to Roxie. "Good morning," she said.Roxie smiled back. "Good morning," he also greeted Cathy. "Sorry, am I too early?" he asked.Cathy shook her head. "No, not really." He opened the door to let Roxie in. "So, what's up?" Cathy asked as soon as she entered and closed her door.Roxie sighed. "I'm telling you, Cathy, be careful, okay? Don't leave without me."Cathy frowned. "Why? Is someone trying to bully me?""Someone told me that an alpha has a group of omegas who want to bully you because of what you did to Caisen
