JB POV
My name is Jack Blue, and I am an Omega. Yes, that means I am at the very bottom, the lowest rank in all of werewolf history. We are always considered the weakest ones, the most insignificant people in any room. Every single day of my life is a constant, nagging reminder of exactly who and what we are to the rest of the pack.
But honestly, I don't care about being the weakest. I don't care about the ranks or the politics. All I really care about is my darling Alpha. She is my other half, the one person in this world who was truly meant for me.
Tally Whyte. She is the future Alpha of Moonstone. She hasn't officially taken the title from her father yet, but everyone on this campus already calls her Alpha Tally. She carries herself with that natural authority that makes people move out of her way without her even saying a word.
She is everything I want. She has those sexy, river blue eyes that look like they could hold a thousand secrets, her dark hair is always perfect, and she has that captivating smile that can melt away even my worst day just by catching a glimpse of it.
"Oh, Tally Whyte… make me yours," I whispered under my breath.
"You know, if you keep staring at her like that, the whole class is going to think you're possessed by some kind of white goddess spirit," a voice said, sharp and dry.
That voice snapped me right out of my beautiful daydream. I blinked, coming back to reality. It was Zoey Hale. She's a Zeta, which is the second lowest rank right after Omegas, and she's also my best friend. She's the only one who really puts up with me.
We were in class, just sitting through another normal, boring lecture. As usual, we were tucked away in the last row at the very back of the room where we could stay invisible. Meanwhile, my Princess Charming was sitting right in the front row, her back straight and her focus entirely on the professor.
"I don't care if they think I'm possessed," I said, my voice still sounding dreamily disconnected. "All I care about right now is staring at my one true love. She's the girl of my dreams, Zoey. She's the woman I'm going to bear pups for one day."
"Girl, I don't want to be the one to burst your bubble, but do you have any idea how high up she is?" Zoey said, gesturing with her hand high above her head. "This is where she is, and you are all the way down here. Down, down, down. So just forget about Alpha Tally and focus on your studies for once. If your grades drop any lower this semester, you'll be stuck in those depressing night classes trying to make up for it. So please, stop being so delusional over someone who is never going to notice you."
I knew Zoey was right. I've been falling behind in almost all my studies lately. My notebooks are filled with sketches of Tally's profile instead of actual notes. I know if I don't improve my scores soon, night classes are going to be my new reality.
I really should focus. I tried to look at the board.
But I just can't do it.
Because my Alpha is right here in the same room as me.
All I ever do is stare at her beautiful face. I do it in the classroom, in the noisy cafeteria, and even when we pass each other in the crowded hallways. Everywhere I go, I'm looking for her. Every time I see her, I can't help myself. She lives in my head, occupying every single thought. If she were an actual school subject, I'd be at the very top of the class, because I know everything there is to know about her.
But Alpha Tally Whyte knows absolutely nothing about me.
In fact, I don't even think she knows that I exist.
We go to the same college and we sit in the same classes day after day, yet she has never once looked at me. Not intentionally, not even by a lucky accident. Even back in high school, when we were younger, she never noticed me in the halls.
It's like I'm completely invisible to her.
And maybe I am.
Omegas like us are never really seen by the higher ranks. No one ever notices us. We're just part of the background noise. We're nothing.
But that's all going to change. I've decided it.
Before the end of this freshman year, I am going to be the only girl Tally Whyte sees when she walks into a room. I'll be the only one she wants to talk to.
I'm going to make Tally Whyte mine.
I don't care if I'm the lowest rank or the weakest girl in the pack. Tally Whyte is the perfect Alpha, and she's meant for me, the perfect Omega. We are two sides of the same coin.
My mission for this year is simple: by the time next year rolls around, it will be just me and Tally Whyte. Together.
And I know it's going to happen. I feel it in my gut.
A fortune cookie I got last week told me that this is my last year as a single virgin. It said that next year, I'll be holding hands with an Alpha. Not a Beta, not a Delta, and definitely not a Gamma. It said the highest of them all.
And I know, without a single doubt in my mind, that Alpha is Tally Whyte.
My Alpha.
After class finally ended, it was the last one of the day and it felt like it took a century, I headed straight back to my dorm to get ready. There's a huge party tonight just outside the campus grounds, and I know everyone is going to be there.
Not just anyone, though.
Tally Whyte is going to be there.
And tonight…
I'm going to finally make her notice me.
