AMANDA MOVES ON

AMANDA'S POV

Over a year ago

I can't believe that an Omega has managed to beat me and several other strong girls in that battle.

I mean, she's just a weakling who has no training at all yet I'm the strongest female fighter ever in Silver Winds and the other surrounding Packs. How comes she was so strong such that she managed to beat us all? What tactic was she using? Is she a witch?

And the command in her tone, commanding me to surrender claiming that she's the Luna....she's Wendy! What on earth does that even mean?

I'm walking aimlessly around the Pack, trying to get answers to my questions but nothing seems to be working. How dare she be stronger than me?

Now she has Maurice....my Maurice whom I had great future plans with. We've been close for a long time such that I ended up thinking he was my destined mate. Shock on me!

Everything was going on fine until that weakling came into his life then boom, he went running into her arms. Aggggr! She must be a witch or maybe she's using something strong on him. I don't think Maurice can be a mate to such a lowlife Omega!

“Watch where you're going Delta!” Someone says right in front of me making me to stop at my tracks. I was so much engrossed into thoughts such that I forgot to watch wherever I was going.

“What are you doing in this field all alone?” I ask Joyce who's seated on the grass and she seems deep in thoughts as well.

Joyce is the girl who was banished by Luna Stacy but the elder defended her. She's lucky that she didn't end up being thrown out of this Pack, else she'd definitely become a rogue!

“Thinking about my future!”

Wow!

“You mean after throwing yourself cheaply at Maurice and now that he's mated to someone else, you're thinking on who to throw yourself at next?”

“Watch your tongue Delta. You're not better than I am!” She scoffs at me.

Of course, we all know that she's quite obsessed with Maurice. Dwayne told me how she slept with Maurice while I was away on a trip with the Gamma and some elders under Stacy's nose.

“Well, at least I never gave myself to him. I was just waiting for the right time, but thank God I didn't end up disgraced like you. I still have my dignity with me!”

“Alright, you can leave now. I have a lot of thinking to do!” She excuses me just like that. I mean, who does she think she is? Am I not Delta Amanda, the Delta of this Pack, the strongest and most dreaded female fighter? How dare she forget that?

“If not for the fact that we were fighting for the same position of Luna, I'd have beaten the living daylights out of you!” I warn her. How dare she speak to me like that?

“I didn't mean to be rude towards you Amanda but a lot has been going on in my mind since I lost to that Omega!”

“Shhh!” I stop her from uttering any more shit about that girl because Maurice warned us about calling her an Omega or a weakling ever again. “Don't let the Alpha hear you Joyce, else you'll be in trouble. Remember you were almost banished?”

“That weakling's guts!” She scoffs. She can't stop calling Stacy all sort of bad names. Well, I don't like her either, especially how she beat me up senselessly. “Who knows, maybe I'd be a rogue by now!”

“Or even one of the strays!” I say absent mindedly. “Anyway, let me go back to my parents place since tomorrow we're supposed to welcome our former Luna back home.” I say as I make as if to leave.

“Wait Amanda,” She says as she stands up. “Don't you have any plans of ever avenging what that Omega did to you?” She asks and I look around to ensure that no one is listening to us.

“If you want to get yourself into trouble, just go ahead with your revenge mission but as for me, I'll peacefully stay in this Pack and wait for my mate to locate me. That way, I'll make my own home just as the Luna.” I say, a bitter lump blocking my throat. I wish those words were so easy to utter..... Uttering them seems to be a hard pill to swallow. I wish the situation was different and I'd have ganged up with her to destroy that damned Stacy! I just wish....

All these thoughts bring the memories of a day ago flowing back into my mind. It was two days after Stacy shamelessly beat us up and she ended up unconscious after fighting to her last drop of blood...almost.... I was too proud to admit defeat therefore I found myself in Maurice office, glaring at him and spitting venom, demanding to know why he allowed all that. We had to be thrown to the birds just like that, unbelievable.

I mean, I'm a wealthy girl from a good family, and I'm not among the lowest of ranks. My father is a powerful business man in the Dark Woods Pack and he contributes a whole lot in this Pack's economy. Why would he disgrace me just like that?

He would just have rejected that girl and instead take me as his mate but look what he did? Why am I this unlucky?

Well, I know all about the mate attraction and bond having being taught about that all my life but this is not fair at all!

Well, back to that day when I went to confront Maurice in his office, I found him busy with his Dwayne and Oswald and after acknowledging them, I requested them to leave us alone. At first they hesitated but after Maurice nodded, assuring them that it was okay to give us some space, my heart skipped a beat thinking he wanted to apologize.

Therefore, I made myself comfortable on the couch and immediately the two guys left the office, Maurice looked up from his laptop and cast me a grim stare.

“Why are you here Amanda?” He asked me and I sat up straight ready to confront him.

“How dare you Maurice? After all that we shared and our discussions for the future, how dare you accept another girl to be your Luna and to make matters worse, that Ome.....”

“Hold it right there young lady!” He stopped me while standing up, shooting daggers at me. “Never again in your life ever address my Luna as an Omega!” He warned me. “And from now onwards, you'll address me as Alpha but not Maurice or anything else as you are used to!”

“But we've been frie...”

“No buts Amanda. The moon goddess has given me my mate and there's no way I'll look at you twice. So I'd advice you to go out there and look for your mate because I believe he's somewhere looking for you as well!”

He was serious about this whole thing.

“You're still this Pack's delta but if you try anything funny concerning my Luna and mate, I won't hesitate to strip you off that title and rip your throat off and then have your little head for dinner!”

What?

My eyes grew wide open in horror as I stared at him, hoping he'd approach me, hug me and assure me that he was just kidding me. However, that never happened as he sat back on his chair and showed me the way out but not before warning me thoroughly.

“Leave my presence now Amanda and if you dare make any move on Stacy or incite anyone against her or call her a weak Omega, I'll make my threat come true, so be warned!” He barked in his Alpha tone, almost sending me out of my skin. Well I knew better than defying him.

Dejectedly, I stooped down and found myself bowing in his presence after noticing that his wolf had begun to show itself. I knew better that making him more pissed off. Still in a bowing state, I walked out of his office and ran straight to my parents' house where I cried a river. It was a strict warning and I had to adhere to it to the latter. I didn't want to die a premature death!

Upon recalling all those warnings, I take a step forward and walk away from Joyce before she infects me with her nonsense.

“Coward!” She scoffs but I decide to ignore her. She's not worth my time and anger. To me, she's just a drop of water in the ocean!

As I walk away, I can't help but think hard about my life especially now that I'm already nineteen. I need to find and meet my mate and I need that now!
