Good Enough

Chapter 3

Caleb POV

Soon as Dean gave his command Josh quickly dropped me on my ass. "Ouch, I don't think he meant to drop me on the ground," I said staring angrily at Joshua. "What's wrong alpha?" Joshua asked while he was helping me off the ground.

Everyone is staring at Dean astonishingly. Dean has never given an alpha command publicly before, he just asks for tasks to be completed. Our pack isn't the biggest pack and everyone is close with each other, there isn't a need for the current alpha or the alpha to be to give alpha commands unless it's really important.

"Nothing wrong" Dean finally says Reassuringly. "He's an omega josh, you can't forget you have to be careful while handling him. He's not like other hunters in the pack, you can hurt him." Dean says while walking closer to me and Joshua.

He just told everyone I'm too weak to be second in command. I knew he was ashamed to be my mate, but I thought it was because of my looks. I mean I am smaller than the average wolf and my body isn't as muscular, I look like a 15-year-old instead of 19. This whole time he doesn't want to be my mate because I'm an omega?

I'm doing everything I can to stop my tears from falling. I thought that if he hated me for my looks then I could change for him. I could eat and work out more, then he'll accept me. I thought if I could just fix what was wrong with me we could finally be together, but I can't change my status, I can't wake up a dominant wolf.

The realization came over me that I can never get my mate to accept me no matter what I do. I felt my heart drop but sadly didn't consume me like it normally does when Dean breaks my heart. I don't feel anything. I don't feel sad or angry, I just feel numb.

"I know he's an omega," josh says angrily, snapping me from my thoughts. "we both were there when he was born, I know exactly how much he can take because I've been training him myself since he first shifted. He's stronger than a lot of other hunters, just because he's omega doesn't mean he's weak!" josh says through clenched teeth. "And since when have you ever doubted my teaching skills?" Josh asked.

Josh doesn't like when people question his abilities to be head hunter, and warrior because he's half ware and half witch. In other packs, they forbid mixing species, even if your mates. In our pack, we are more considerate, if your mate is a different species we allow the mated pair to stay together. That doesn't mean people in the pack like Joshua or Ivy, they just know that we have no control over whom our mates are.

"I didn't mean it like that josh, I know you are more than capable of training," Dean says trying to calm josh down. "Forgive me it's been a while since I've watched a training session, I would've never named you as my head hunter if I didn't believe you weren't the best hunter in the pack. let's just take a 30-minute break, and go get some water." Dean says dismissing the class.

Soon Dean says the class is over I ran as fast as I could home. I knew I shouldn't have agreed to leave my room, I could be sleeping or watching Kdramas right now. I seriously hate my brother for coming up with this stupid idea, so I'm not the person I was 2 years ago! What's the point of going to college or helping with the pack when you're just going to die?

Once I see my house in view I slowed down, If my brother was still home I didn't want him to see me upset. He'll just ask me a thousand times if I'm okay, doesn't everyone know the answer to that question is 'I'm fine'? who says 'no I'm not okay'?

I felt a hand grab my shoulder and my body froze. Tingles travel down my spine. Then my nose caught their delicious scent, Dean. He turns me around staring into my eyes, I didn't even notice I was crying until he wiped a tear from my cheek.

Without speaking he grabs my hand and drags me to follow him. I notice he's bringing me to my garage. I tried to get him to let me go but he's an alpha so he's ten times stronger than me, I just give up and let him drag me for Goddess knows why.
