The rejected Omega

*MAGGI*

Running from the stroke of rain with my bag raised over my head, the forecast was of a clear and sunny cloud, the street was crowded with young and old running across different directions.

I managed to get to the nearest bus stop, I took out my cell phone and scrolled through my contact list, d*mn it! why does it have to rain today of all days. I was in Broomfield and still headed to castle rock.

My nosy head of department had called me a night before saying I report in Broomfield to cover for a colleague who was on maternity leave without little option to object. there I was about to be stranded in the streets of Bloomfield. ”I got ya ” I was about to dial the number when I remembered he had stubbornly travelled to Oklahoma, dear goddess please keep him safe.

Scott had been obsessed with finding a pack ever since his wolf has fully grown, well it wasn entirely his fault. After I fled Oklahoma to Colorado, I had been a lone wolf. He was the opposite of the life I was forced to live. His wolf was too active and energetic.

He had threatened to go to the human realm if I held him back. I recalled how adamant he was.

”The human realm is total a no way Scott! ” I told him blatantly

”mother you have to choose! The human realm or a visit to Oklahoma! ” he yelled.

I could sense his animal instinct peaking, his wolf was charged and ready to pounce.

”Okay Scott, let it rest, calm it son, ”Im your mother okay?, Oklahoma It is.

I left him and went to my room. It wasn his fault, he has his life to live, his wolf was too active to be tamed still I desperately wished he would change his mind .Oklahoma was a scary place to be ,especially for my son, the son of Maggi a friend of traitor and a threat to the werewolf realm. No I was in my head, I should at least be honest with myself.

I WAS THE TRAITOR MYSELF! I monologue in my head.

The honking of the bus tweaked me out of my thought, the entrance was already flooded with hustlers, trying to hustle their way in. I wittingly navigated my way through the people and got myself a sit beside a window.

I took out my phone and scrolled through my picture folder, clicked on Scotts photo, I stared at it passionately.

”he looks so much like his father. ”

Flashes of war started to pop in my head, like my past is here to hunt me,

”I shouldn have let him go, dear goddess please protect my boy ” I silently prayed.

Truly my past was here to hunt and I knew not. After a while the bus stopped and I highlighted.

I took the pedestrian lane and headed to my apartment. Oh maan, I muttered, I am f**king tired. I arrived at my apartment few minutes after the long walk, I rummaged through my bag for the keys.

At long last I was in, I tossed my bag off, followed by my wet jacket.

”I wouldn trade my warm bath for anything ”

I opened a bottle of whiskey, poured a myself a glass and downed it at once, then I lead myself to the bathroom, relaxed in and let the water work it all out. It was a long bath but it was definitely suiting for a lady in distress, I got out and headed for the bedroom.

I settled into the warm hands of my mattress and pillows and soon began to drift until I heard the beep of my phone. It was Scott.

”hey son, how is it going there ”

”ma Im cool, I should be back tomorrow or next ” he responded.

”oh thank goodness ” I hung the call and went back to bed only to disturbed by another phone call.

”Common Scott what is it again? ” I said as I stood up to go get the phone.

It isn Scott? Who could it be? I clicked the green button and placed the phone on my ear.

”Hello Maggi ” the caller said.

The voice! It sounded very familiar, I froze like a kid caught stealing, with my shaky voice I responded

”who is on the line? ” I inquired.

”Its Derick Maggi ” Derick? Derick Maxwell?

The Physician from Oklahoma? Promptly anxiety sets in, I was covered in sweat and could feel hot burns within me.

”Why did he call, did they capture my son, oh goddess, please keep him safe.

I summoned courage to reply him.

”Oh Derick its been a while, how are you, hope all is well? but he was silent for a while.

Then i went to sit on couch in the living room, holding my robe together with a hand, I later let my robe fall apart as raised my left hand to cover my mouth, trying to block tiny escape of sobs as I drown in suspense.

”hum..Maggi, I will send someone to you from Oklahoma, it is someone you know, but in case you cannot link the face, there will be a sign to help joggle your memory ” he said and immediately dropped the call.

But who was the person? Do he know my address? When should I be expecting him?. These were the questions I needed to ask but couldnt .

I went back to my mini bar, poured myself a glass of cock tail, one glass wasn enough so I poured myself several glasses till I was inebriated, and crashed into the couch.

*Stephanie*

I heard the door, opened behind me, it was Derick ”he must have come to see if I am still down with self-pity ”,

”how could he abandon me. He made a grave mistake, yes he did! I will prove to him that Im not weak! Mothers memories is all I need to push without noticing Derick was already beside me.

”Steph you don have to go today, you can go tomorrow, you have had enough today, just relax.

I stood up ”it has to be today Derick ” then I noticed the change in his eyes like he was begging me to stay at least for a day more.

”Alright tee till tomorrow ”

I went closer to him and gave him a hug.

I went outside reluctantly carry the dirt I had wanted to dispose to a nearby incinerator wishing hours will increase its speed.

The day was finally over and we welcomed a new dawn, before the day breaks I had completed my packing, I had thought of a way to make things easier for Derick over the night. I took out a pen and a sheet of paper to write him a letter, appreciating him for all he did and announcing my leave.

It was the best thing to do, I had noticed he was finding it difficult to let go. I dropped the letter on the table and left without a second thought. The journey took a while, and all through it I kept hoping I had made the right decision, I missed Derick and wished hed be fine when he learn I have gone.

Colorado welcomed me her beauty and gigantic building, I took the paper Derick gave me, I spread it out and went through the address, I spoke to beside me ”please where to I grab a bus to castle rock ”

”you
e new here? ” he questioned.

”Hmm.. something of sort ” I said while tilting my head

She pointed in a direction and I followed. I had only walked a bit, when I saw, people trooping out of their houses and shop, I could hear the howl of a wolf, calling for help. I increased my pace to see what had happened. Holy shit! A wolf needs help, without thinking I hopped in and I started running toward her, I was fast, really fast, I didn have such speed but I was too engrossed to save her than notice my wolfs instincts, all I wanted was to save her.

She had a seizure in the middle of a high way, I took her out and calmed her. I looked at her with confusion and she read me like an open book.

”wondering why no one came to help ? ” she asked ”

hum not really, just a little bit confused and worried if I have come to the right place. I said with a sad look.

”You are where you should be dear. ” she said trying to console me.

She drew out a small white card and placed it in my palm.

”Reach me if you ever need anything ”

I was about to say something but she placed her finger on her lip telling me to keep it. She smiled and took her leave immediately. I watched her leaving till I lost view of her.

Few minutes after, I stood up, cleaned my dress, and glanced through the card she gave me. Damn it! She was going to castle rock or I could be wrong! I kept the card she gave me in my bag and followed the same route. After about fifteen minutes walk, I arrived at a bus terminal and boarded a bus.

I alighted immediately I saw the sign welcome to castle rock. Finding Maggis house was not difficult at all, Derick had done justice to the description. It was a fully detached duplex. WOW! Does a female own this?.

I hit the doorbell but no one responded,

”but it is a weekend ” I muttered.

I rang the doorbell again, this time an adult female wolf in her late fifties took the door.

”Good day mam ” I greeted.

I greeted her with a warm smile but the smile began to fade away when I noted her eyes were bulged and she had frozen.

Faintly I heard her whisper ”Olivia ”?
