Chapter 1 Bullied by the triplets

I stood in front of the school's main entrance.
My heart thumped heavily against my chest as I dreaded the fact that I had to face the school again. It was something I battled with every day. As an Omega, most— if not all— of my pack members hated me, especially the kids at my school and they never once missed a chance to bully me.
Tomorrow was going to be my eighteenth birthday and it also happened to be the next Mating Convention. All my hope and the only thing keeping me going every day, was the fact that I believed I would find my mate and he would take me very far away from Golden Ville Pack.
This way, I would never have to face the emotionally degrading actions that they all shot at me again. I would be free and I would finally know true happiness.
I turned my attention back to the door and exhaled sharply. I could not keep standing outside like this. Classes were going to start soon.
I mustered up the courage I needed and pushed the doors open. The moment I walked in, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to me. I stood in the center awkwardly and too frozen to make a move.
"Would you look at that? It's Olivia, the below-par wolf!" A girl broke the silence. Silent laughter erupted from the students and I tried not to let it get to me.
My insides began to churn on themselves but I remained strong.
"Oh, you mean that low-life thing— Oops! Sorry, I meant omega?" Another said deliberately.
I swallowed hard and decided to just ignore them. Reacting was only going to make things worse. So I wore a straight face and continued down the halls.
"I wonder why her name isn't Olivia Dwarf instead of Olivia Spencer? She's just so short!" Another exclaimed and a bellow of laughter followed me down the hall.
I wanted to cry my eyes out about how I was getting treated but I needed to stay strong. Crying before all these people was the last thing I wanted to do.
As if on cue, Josh, my childhood friend and an Omega like me appeared out of the blue. He had a bright smile on his face as he came to a stop beside my locker.
"Olivia, I was wondering when you would show up. How did you sleep? Excited about tomorrow?" He asked while still smiling at me.
I exhaled sharply. "I'm nervous but I know that I'll survive it," I answered before pushing my red hair behind my ear.
I was about to go on when excited screams erupted through the air. I froze in my tracks as I immediately knew who was waiting behind me. I found the courage I needed and I turned to be met face to face with the Lycan triplets.
They towered above me with heights that got me questioning where I stood every time. The first brother— Lucas Damon, had eyes as gray as ash and hair as dark as the night itself. It blended perfectly with his olive skin.
The second brother was Lucien Damon, he had blue eyes and he had altered his hair color into a dark blue while the last brother was Logan Damon, like Lucien, he also had blue eyes but he left his curls dark and standing above his head.
They were the children of the current Alpha and the men derived fun in bullying me. Lucien smirked when he saw me and all three brothers approached me. This left me standing at a height around their stomach level. They were extremely tall. Perhaps eight or seven and a half feet while I was five feet and eight inches.
"One would think that after all this, you would one day disappear and never come back to school here. . .but you never learn, Olivia. You're so persistent," Lucien began in a mocking tone.
Josh could only stare. It was not like there was anything that he could do. He had no chances against the Lycan devils. They would subdue him within seconds.
His brothers chuckled. "She's probably hoping for the day she gets her happily ever after. I'm sure Olivia believes in those fairy tales," Lucas joined in.
I gritted my teeth as I listened to them. If I had a living wolf within me, then it would be boiling with anger and there would have been no stopping me.
"She's a dwarf, remember? A dwarf wolf, that's why she's so persistent and keeps coming back. I doubt if she has any respect for herself," Logan added to their words.
His brothers broke into laughter. "Oh, that was a good one, Logan. Perhaps we need a pesticide to purge this place free of pests like her," Lucas suggested amidst laughter.
"Or, a dwarf repellent! So she can never show her ugly face here again," Lucien added.
I felt a harsh slice through my heart at their hurtful words. I would have stayed quiet but I could not tolerate being bullied like this again.
"Enough!" I roared.
The hall fell silent immediately and everyone looked taken aback by my outburst. I wanted to chicken out, Josh even grabbed my wrist and sent me a questioning stare but I refused to meet his gaze. I was sick and tired of the bullying and I could not stay quiet about it anymore.
"What did I ever do you?" I lashed out.
The Lycans furrowed their brows before corking them at me. Logan folded his arms while the rest of the brothers just glared.
"I don't remember ever hurting or insulting you! I don't remember ever getting in your way! Yet you derive fun in bullying someone that is below your size! How satisfied does it make you picking on me? If you are so tough, why don't you go pick on the men in the enemy pack?" I demanded.
The Lycans looked as if they had been slapped across the face as they glared speechlessly at me.
"There's something else I hear. That bullies are people who hate their own existence so they find fun in picking on others just to make themselves feel good!" I spat.
Their eyes went wide with shock and their mouths came open. Logan tried to form words but nothing came out.
I smirked. "This just proves how miserable your lives really are!" I added firmly and I was sure that those words felt like knife stabs to their hearts.
Suddenly, one of the girls who had been making snarky comments about me earlier stepped out of the crowd with a bucket in hand.
"Oh dearest Olivia, here's a gift from the school to you for your eighteenth birthday which is coming up tomorrow. Consider it an early gift," she concluded.
I furrowed my brows at her as I tried to understand what she was up to when she suddenly emptied the content of the bucket on my body.
I gasped in shock as I glared at the black and sticky liquid that was now running down my body. The crowd gasped too before an uproar of laughter broke out.
"Have no worries, it's just paint, melted cheese and honey. Try to avoid the bees though," she said and broke into laughter.
My chest began to rise and fall as I looked from the girl to the crowd who had now brought out their phones and were taking pictures. I looked up at the Lycans and amusement was now plastered on their faces. I turned to Josh and he had a worried expression.
Slowly, the tears I had been trying so hard to keep bottled down began to flow out of my eyes. I soon broke into a run and raced out of the building.
I cried as I ran. I had no idea where I was going. I just knew that I needed to get away from the Lycans, the bullies, the school, all of it.
My heart ached as I cried and I found myself running into the woods that was close to the school. I only stopped when I reached the lake in the woods. I sank to my knees and took in my sorry state. I could see my reflection in the water.
"What did I ever do to deserve this?" I demanded but there was no one to give me an answer.
"I've been nice to everyone even if all they've ever wanted to do was bully me. I've tried to get accepted by my pack. I've done everything to make myself look good in their eyes but none of it worked!" I roared.
My body trembled as I cried. My heart could not stop aching. I tried to rinse the black liquid away from my face. They were probably going to make a poster of me and paste it all over the school. There was no one to stand up for me. I was on my own, alone to face the bullying.
"Is it a crime to have a dormant wolf? Is it my fault that I'm an Omega? Is it my fault that I am this way?" I went on screaming as if there was someone listening to my alone conversation.
"I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be accepted. Is that too much to ask for? I want to be wanted. I want to be loved. Is it too much?" I cried as my body temperature kept dropping due to my tears.
It was sad that this was what I had to face every day and I would keep facing it if I remained in Golden Ville pack. I wanted out. I was tired of all the bullying. My only wish and comfort was in the fact that I would at least get a mate who cared about me tomorrow.
I exhaled sharply and felt myself begin to calm. Then I started washing off some of the paint on my body. It was a futile attempt though because I needed a full bath.
Yet I knew that a bath was not going to solve my problem. A mate was but what if, whoever turned out to be my mate also rejected me? What would I do then?
