"Something needs to be done urgently. I mean your expulsion from the university. This is, damn it, the end of everything," Louise gritted her teeth and began to pace from side to side.
For now, we were sitting in an empty coffee shop. It was still too early and, fortunately, no other customers had appeared yet.
"I still can't believe that bitch Kelly managed to get you expelled," Louise plopped down at the table opposite me and crossed her arms under her chest.
"And along with that, the dissolution of our sisterhood. Do you know what she's going to do with the house we were kicked out of because of her? She's throwing a party there tomorrow. God, how I want to strangle her."
"Don't worry. Kelly will pay for this," I looked out at the street as I stirred the sugar in my coffee. Despite the early hour, the sidewalk was already filled with people.
"What? She's our rich girl. Golden. And, damn it, untouchable. We're nothing against her," Louise reached for her cup and squeezed it hard in her palm.
"Even now she's banished us to a bug-infested place, and she's going to throw a party on campus. In the house that was previously allocated for us. Rumor has it that she's already been making fun of us in our rooms."
"She has one weak spot," I took a sip of coffee, looking up at my friend. "And I'll use it. We'll make fun of Kely, just like she did to us."
"And what is this weak spot?" Louise asked with a bit of sarcasm. She clearly didn't believe that Kely could have something like that. After all, we'd been fighting with her all our time at school and always outweighed that bitch's money. It turned out that it wasn't even that hard for her to get me expelled.
But Kely did have a weak spot - her boyfriend.
Of course, if you can even say that.
The alpha that Kely was dating was the local king at the university. The leader of the beast kingdom. The most unattainable guy and the heir to an entire conglomerate. And besides Kely, there were no other girls for him. She was already his fiancée.
Just like there were no other guys for Kely. She adored Carter. So if there was a crack in their relationship, it would not just break her. Rather, it would completely destroy her.
What a wonderful revenge!
So why shouldn't I go to Carter and try to arrange this crack? I have nothing to lose. I'm ready for anything.
"I'll tell you everything later," I stood up, put my hands in my shorts pockets, and headed for the exit. "I need to go somewhere now."
The only question is where to look for Carter and how to approach him.
Leaving the coffee shop, I walked along the sidewalk, occasionally stopping and letting passers-by pass. At the same time, I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed Carter's number.
The beeps were long. Even too long. In the end, the alpha never answered.
After taking a few more steps, I stopped next to the bakery window and ran my finger across the screen, deciding to dial his number again. And again, too long beeps, but at the moment when I thought that there would be no answer again, they broke off, and the speaker said:
"Yes, I'm listening."
Except it wasn't Carter's voice. Kelly answered.
I immediately took the phone away from my ear and pressed the red icon, ending the conversation. It was too late for Kelly to find out that I had called her boyfriend.
But why the hell did she answer his phone?
I looked at the time and pursed my lips. It was still too early. They had spent the night together, and Carter was either in the shower or still asleep. But, in principle, what was surprising?
They were already engaged. Moreover, Kelly was his universe. Naturally, they spent their free time together at university. Nights, especially.
Another reminder that it is not so easy to approach the guy Kely.
Now I did not dare to call him again and, crossing the road, headed to a deserted park. So far, my awakening as an omega has not begun, but still, fearing this moment, I tried to avoid people. Especially alphas.
It is unknown how they can react to omegas, of which there are so few in our world that you can consider that they do not exist at all. It was not for nothing that they were protected and guarded.
They did not allow just any alphas to approach the omegas. And if desired, no one at all. So, yes, I had a good reason to be afraid.
Before awakening, I was still considered a beta, and this period was the remainder of my calm, measured life. But still, I stopped and looked again at the coffee shop where Louise remained.
Naturally, I wanted to share this news at least with my sisters. That I turned out to be an omega. They would support me. After all, we are generally used to going through everything together.
But I understood more than clearly that for now, I cannot tell anyone about this. Moreover, this was critical. Therefore, exhaling loudly, I turned around and went on.
Once in the park, I found a bench in the shade and looked at the phone again.
What should I do? Call Carter again? No, better to do it later.
I sat silently for a while, my gaze sliding along the stone paths that ran through the park. Then I leaned back on the bench and closed my eyes. I had barely slept for the last few days. I had spent the previous night on the road. So, even though I tried not to pay attention to it, I was still tired.
Maybe it would be even better if I slept for at least half an hour.
It took me only a few seconds to fall into darkness.
