the large alpha awoke with a start to hear banging on his door, his steely gray eyes instantly narrowed, a low warning growl rumbling deep in his chest caused the knocking to cease before a familiar voice broke out. "roman we don't have time for your grumpiness.we have to leave for the trip in twenty minutes!" his beta, matthew called out. glancing to the time, he slid out of bed, opening the door and staring down at matthew. "go prepare the others." he ordered simply, before shutting the door in his face and walking to the shower. his alarm hadn't gone off, just perfect. roman wasn't the most cheerful morning person. well, roman wasn't the most cheerful person in general. quite the opposite. he almost always seemed to be grumpy, or in a bad mood. he was always strict with everyone,and nobody liked to be near him when he was mad. after his shower, he pushed his black hair off of his forehead and got dressed before grabbing his belongings and heading downstairs and outside. loading them into his car, he shut the trunk and leaned against it, observing his pack rushing about to prepare for the leave. it was himself, the beta, and a few warriors going with them on the trip to the packs. the delta would stay and be in charge. roman had no doubt that the delta would do his job well, he didn't select the individuals because they were bad at their jobs. though he wasn't "close" to his beta, he trusted him. and that's all that mattered.

Shay, on the otherhand, had woken up much earlier. she wasnt sure who exactly was visiting. all she knew was that an important alpha was coming. while visitors werent all that unusual, the pack seemed on edge. so she didnt say a word as she began preparing for the alpha's arrival. it was a fairly simple routine. cook breakfast for the pack, lunch for the visiting pack and for her pack, dinner for both, and clean up the main pack house before the visitors arrived. so after finishing these "chores", she would be able to retire for the night. however, the beta seemed a bit a bit snappier than usual, so she would probably be working for an hour or two after dinner was made. she stopped for a moment in the long corridor that led to the entertainment space of the main pack house. she thought for a moment, making sure the first two items on her mental checklist had been checked off. breakfast and cleaning. done.
did her pack hate her? maybe. but the reason why was absurd, so she didnt mind. although it wasnt pleasant, that was for sure. a life of torture and neglect all because she hadnt shifted yet. however, for most werewolves, this was important. being unable to shift, she had never gone on a pack hunt, or a pack run, or played with cubs when she was a child. she grew up doing exactly what she was doing now. so perhaps it wasnt that her pack hated her, they were just disgusted by her being in the pack. they considered her a human at that point. and even Shay was beginning to doubt that she'd shift.
(oof. super late)

once everyone was ready, roman entered his truck, his beta sliding in the passenger seat. a few warriors were in the truck ahead of them, and a few in the one behind them as they set off to drive the few hours it would take to get there. the whole ride with roman and his beta was absolutely silent, except for the attempts at conversation matthew tried to spike up. however,he always received the same look from roman which shut him up. soon enough, they were driving through the forest, coming across the other pack. the warriors parked first, getting out and surveying the scene before motioning for the others to come through. roman parked the truck, stepping out of it, his steel gray eyes roaming the new environment before he turned to his beta who was exiting the vehicle as well. the two walked over to the warriors, roman's eyes roaming to find the alpha of these lands.

the rest of the pack, just finishing up breakfast, rushed to their places, wanting to seem calm. however, their heartbeats were fast. as Shay went to clean up, hoping to do so as fast as possible, she heard a name murmured throughout the pack. roman. she paled immediately. roman was the alpha of a very strong and ruthless pack. what was he doing at a pack like hers? they were strong, but fairly small in numbers. an alliance maybe? they could only hope. she rushed to finish cleaning up, wanting to get out of the way as soon as possible. however, just before she had finished, her alpha called her forward.
" omega! " he called impatiently. she quickly rushed over and he grabbed her by the arm, practically dragging her over to their visitors. her breath hitched and she kept her gaze to the ground as they approached.
" greetings alpha roman. my name is Dimitri and I welcome you to my land, " the alpha said, dipping his head ever so slightly. the warriors of his pack, on the other hand, bowed their heads in respect and slight submission. they were scared. shayla could hear their heartbeats from where she was standing.
" this here is the omega of our pack, shayla. she will be cleaning your rooms, and getting anything you need. blankets, food, you ask for it. she'll get it. " shayla could feel his burning glare, and tilted her head away from him slightly. however, this obviously made him mad. he didnt say anything else to her, but his grip tightened on her arm.

roman's gaze remained impassive as ever as everyone came over to greet him, his eyes landing on the alpha who was dragging a girl over. however, as he inhaled, a delicious scent filled his nose, and his wolf stirred immediately. his mate. his eyes scanned the crowd,making sure to lock eyes with each and every member. he ignored the words and strode forward to the one girl with her head down, which just so happened to be the girl the alpha had a grip on. her scent infiltrated his nose and his eyes grew darker as his hand reached out, slowly pushing her chin upwards to meet his gaze, confirming she was his mate. his little mate. the beta seemed to know as a wide grin spread across his lips, turning to the alpha and nodding. "thank you for allowing us on yo-" he began, but a growl from roman cut him off and he sighed. roman stepped away from his mate, looking to the alpha. "release the girl." he stated calmly, before returning to his space. "and find someone else to clean the rooms. she is not going to be tending to us." roman spoke, his eyes daring the alpha to go against his words. "thank you for allowing us on your land." he added after matthew lightly elbowed him, probably the only person that was allowed to do that without getting a part of their body broken.

[Morta]

the alpha, obviously confused, released his grip on shayla. however, he didnt question them. he wouldnt dare. not at first anyways. but when roman practically commanded him to find someone else, his irritation took over all rational thinking. it seemed he hadnt caught on to them being mates quite yet. " with all due respect alpha roman, im afraid thats not possible. she is the omega of this pack and its her responsibility. its her job to tend to the rooms and make the rest of today's meals. " He crossed his arms over his chest and he heard a few members of his pack gasp. he wasnt being brave, he was being stupid.
however, shayla hadnt heard a word he said. her heart was beating too loud for her to hear anything. she was terrified. as he lifted her head up, she only looked him in the eyes for a single moment before averting her gaze. the second she looked him in the eyes,
her bones began to ache. little did she know, she had a long, hard day ahead of her. meeting her mate had triggered her first change.
however, most changes wouldve immediately started. she wouldve been halfway to being a wolf by then. but instead, she simply felt a dull ache. still terrified, she attempted to edge away when roman was a little distracted. she still didnt say anything, but she sure wanted to. ' why me?! ' she thought, tilting her head forward so her long red hair would cover her eyes as she attempted her meek escape.

roman was about to begin walking when the alpha spoke up, closing his eyes in annoyance before opening them again. "im sure one of your other members will not mind." he stated in the same monotone voice as ever before beginning to walk once more, matthew shooting the alpha an apologetic look, one that he had practically mastered by now, before rushing off after roman, the rest of his pack following with soft murmurs, all curiously looking to the girl their alpha seemed so entranced with. a bit excited, as she may be his mate, which means they may have a luna. roman tilted his head as he saw the girl trying to creep away, simply watching her.he would leave her alone. for now. but something told him the alpha was taking advantage over her omega title. roman didn't even care that his mate was an omega, it was meant to be for some reason, and that's all he needed to know.

[Morta]

shayla, grateful, lifted her head and mouthed a shy ' thank you ' to the alpha before rushing away. as she did so, the ache in her bones seemed to get worse. it was then she realized that it may have been her first change. During a werewolves first change, they tend to stay around their mate. it generally just calms them and their wolf down, making the process less painful. also, newly changed wolves may be a bit out of control. so if their mate is there, it helps calm them down and sort of get back to reality. she went back inside, flopping on to her bed with a sigh.
" I dont get it. why me? " she asked aloud. it wasnt because she hated him. it was because she was an omega and he was an alpha. it wasnt right. she sat up, feeling a sharp pain in her back. she gasped softly,clenching her bedding in her fists. now she knew for sure. she looked out of her window, glancing into the woods outside. She needed to make it without being seen.
A younger warrior approached them. " Ill take you to your rooms. " she said softly, obviously scared. their rooms were placed in a single hallway, that way they could stick together.

roman watched his little mate, catching on to what she mouthed him, he dipped his head in response before turning to give his attention to a warrior, nodding. "lead the way." he stated calmly, following after the female. as they arrived at the rooms, matthew thanked her before taking his stuff to his room, roman walking into his room as well, peering out the large window to see a perfect view of the forest. placing his belongings down, he pulled out his phone to see if anything went wrong with the pack yet. he only received one text, and it was from the delta confirming that everything was okay and he would do hourly updates. with that settled,roman removed his shirt and laid on the bed after removing his shoes as well, turning on his side and staring at the window,his mind wandering off to his mate. he had never expected to find a mate, though he wasn't upset that he had. if anything, it would help his wolf grow stronger. the one part he didn't like was the intimacy he would have to share with the female. it took him a long time to open up, but with a mate, the pull was much stronger than with any other.
