Yuri led me to her house.
The house was neat and tidy. Nothing seemed out of place at all.
Very item here exuded a homey feel.
It was a feeling I missed.
It reminded me of my mother.
Lately, many things have been reminding me of my mother.
“I don’t have a spare bed so we will share this one.” Yuri informed me as she pointed at the only bed in the room.
I nodded.
I sat on the bed.
Yuri began arranging her things so more space would be created.
“Yuri. Every omega warrior here has their own background story, right?” I asked.
I don’t know if I was being too curious but I wanted to know.
Although I don’t feel like I was entitled to be able to listen to the background stories of these female warriors, I still wanted to hear theirBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
stories.
I wanted to see the wonders the moon goddess created..
There was no men here at the omega warriors camp. There are only female omega warriors.
I feel like the omega warriors‘ camp just brings together omegas with sorry backgrounds.
Some might have good backgrounds too.
It all depends on the moon goddess.
wou
I wanted to hear their stories so I would be able to understand them. better.
I regarded the omega warriors as my family. It was why I was at ease with telling them my ugly history.
Yuri stopped what she was doing.
She sat down at the rightmost edge of the bed.
“I am not in the position to say other people’s stories but I can tell you mine.” Yuri started.
I focused all my attention on her.
Yuri was expressionless most of the time. It was rare to see her smile or laugh.
Although her smile was beautiful, she doesn’t show it often.
My deep curiosity peaked.
I wanted to know why she was here.
A look of nostalgia crossed her face.
“My father was an alpha and my mother was a beta. She was beautiful. In one of the pack wars, my father lost his life and when my mother was cloaked in her grief, she discovered she was pregnant with me.” Yuri said and I continued to listen intently.
Her words did not have a bad point but I knew the bad point would soon appear.
Sometimes, I feel like nothing good last long.
Bad things seemed to be prevalent.
Bad things are everywhere.
I could see now that everybody had a type of ugly experience.
I was not special in that regard.
Looking back now, my anger at the moon goddess was a huge joke.
She was a goddess. I can never really understand how she thinks.
What might seem reasonable to me might be a road that would lead to my destruction to her.
Our perspectives are different.
I was a mortal.
It would be hard to break free from my mortal coils.
I was not unique.
Everybody had their own traumatic experience.
Besides, it was like the moon goddess said.
My bad experience makes me more mature in the long run.
What did not kill me will make me stronger.
It was an age old fact.
My experiences–both the good and bad ones–would make me grow. It would be like gold.
Without going through refining, it would only remain in the original state it was in.
Nobody would carry gold in the original state it had been discovered,
Everybody needs to be tempered.
If I had not experienced what I did, my opinions and views on life would have remained in a stunted state.
I might have not been able to look at things as I am seeing them now.
I was just thankful that the moon goddess was watching out for me.
Although I don’t understand some of her decisions, I knew all she wants. is my well–being.
That alone is enough to keep my mind at rest.
I was not alone in this world.
My pups, the moon goddess, my best friend and the omega warriors. were there for me.
The man I would marry in the future was there too.
“After my mother gave birth to me, her emotions towards me was lukewarm. I was born an omega, I did not inherit either of my parents‘ genes.” A smile was on Yuri’s lips.
The smile was strange.
I did not know how to classify the smile.
It was not the usual smile she shows when she was pleased or happy.
“She did not hate me but she did not love me either. I was just like a keepsake that would remind her of her deceased mate.” Yuri continued, “The problem started when she got her second chance mate. Her second chance mate was an alpha too.”
Hearing Yuri speak of her mother, I felt strange.
I always believed that every mother would love her offsprings like her own like.
Now, I was learning otherwise.
Not all mother loved their children.
When my mother sacrificed herself to save me, it is obvious other mother’s might not make the same choice.
Some mothers would sacrifice their child to save themselves.
To them, it might even be a type of entitlement for their children to die in their place.
I shuddered.
My mother and others like her out there are gems that should be treasured.
I had forgotten that mothers were mortal too.
They can be prone to guilt, hate, love and other emotions mortals have.
“You have not heard anything yet. Why are you shivering?” Yuri said with a smile.
Her smile was different from the previous one.
This smile was brighter and sweet.
In comparison, the previous one looked odd.
I returned her smile.
I was shuddering because of my thoughts but those thoughts were invoked by her life’s story.
Her life history made me think.
Although I had a brief moment of glee when I heard her story, Istumped down the feeling to shreds.
Now, only sympathy remained.
“I looked like my mother. One time, the alpha came into my room and he tried to molest me.” Yuri stared at the roof of the house.
I knew she might be looking at something I could not see so I did not bother to look up.
I kept my gaze on her.
“I was a little naive back then. I did not know the way of the world. I reported him to my mother but her judgement astounded me. Do you know what she said to me?” Yuri questioned.
I shook my head.
“No.” Feeling like shaking my head was not enough. I vocalized my
confusion.
“She said I was acting coquettish towards my stepfather. She said I had no shame.” Yuri explained.
My mouth dropped open in shock.
A mother could say this?
Aside from her mother’s judgement, what baffled me was the action of her mother’s second chance mate.
His action reenforced my fear.
Sometimes, a mate bond can not stop a person’s innate beastliness.
How can he try to molest his mate’s daughter?
Some people don’t even put the mate bond in high esteem.
This kind of thing was part of the reason why I feared mate bonds. Mate bonds was a thing of security in the past but those times are gone
now.
Rejection is rampant and everything is in chaos.
I don’t have any level of trust in the mate bond at all.
“My mind woke up then. To my mother, I was dispensable. The alpha continued his molestation attempts and I knew I had to run. My fate was in my own hands. If I let my mother decide, I would be
destroyed before I realize anything. Yuri said.
I agreed with her thoughts of escape.
Such a mother was scary.
Giving her daughter as a concubine to her mate might not be beyond her.
I sighed.
Yuri had truly gone through a lot.
I knew the incident had to have left a traumatic mark on her psyche. “On my escape, the moon goddess appeared. You will not be able to believe how happy I was then when she invited me to join the omega warriors.” Yuri said and I could understand her happiness too.
To have a place to call home.
That feeling is indescribable.
It is an exhilarating feeling.
The omega warriors was united and there was no festering hate or negative emotions.
It was a very good place.
“I agreed and she brought me here. I was able to experience the love I was lacking.” Yuri finished before she stood up so she can go back to her work.
I watched her as she tidied everything up busily.
Sometimes, I was angry that the moon goddess let evil things happen, For a brief moment, I suspected that the moon goddess deliberately let bad things happen to the omega warriors so they can be loyal to her. However, I crushed that thought mercilessly.
She was our creator.
It is a must for us to be loyal to her.
Besides, she would not really get anything from harming us.
All experiences make us grow.
She can not let us only have good memories throughout our lives.
We would not become good warriors if she interfered too heavily in our lives.
Everything I have thought of or I am thinking of had already been. analyzed by the moon goddess.
I was not a goddess so I can not judge her decisions.
The moon goddess’s love for her creation was unparalleled. I could see it.
in her eyes when I met her previously.
She is not the type to harm her creations.
Besides, she is my personal savior.
Everything else does not matter.
All I know is that I will help her in all the ways I can.
It is the least that I should do.
