Tortured like an omega
RENEE'S POV
I watched the Beta in silence as he came into the room more often. The Alpha and Luna gave me a room but the beta kept on checking on me. I didn’t say anything because he seemed rather vicious in the woods and I'd rather not speak and anger him. I tensed as he came closer. He set the tray he was holding down and for a long while we had a staring contest. His eyes and face stoic as he observed me, but because I am weak I'm sure mine showed fear.
I was weak but I had the ability to kill the beta of the other pack.
Then he sighed and I swear from the break of silence I almost jumped. "I will not hurt you little one. I, along with the Alpha and Luna have seen what you've been through. I would never do so to a lady like you." I look at his eyes as he speaks and I can tell he is serious.
"No one will look for me.." I say so quietly if he wasn't a wolf he wouldn't have heard me.
He looks confused for a moment and then it seems he remembers what he said in the woods. "Why? Out of curiosity, would no one look for you. Do you have a mate?" He asked me, I know he meant no harm but pain seared through me like a knife.
I duck my head down, and my shoulders shake as I silently cry. I want to smack myself for showing even more weakness but once a mate was mentioned, even by me accepting his rejection I still felt the pain Siera still felt it to because I heard her small broken whimper.
I feel warmth surround me and I freeze, "shhhh," he coos softly, rubbing my hair. His embrace is so gently and just for a small moment I want to lean on someone. Just once, so I lean my face into his neck and cry. I cry for the lack of love from my family, from my pack and from my 'mate.' I cry for never having friends, for anything and everything the last 7 years.
"Can I ask.. do you have a mate?" He sounded so hesitant.
I shook my head and smiled sadly, "I am- simply an Omega. He was. Well I wasn't worthy of being his mate, he rejected me at first chance." I chock out.
I see something I believe is anger in his face but shrug it off. "He is blind. A mate is a rare and precious gift to us. He has lost his other half and now he will never feel complete." He says almost as if he experienced it himself.
Which by my wondering expression he must figure my thoughts. "My mate was killed. And I was unable to stop it even though it happened before my eyes." He said calmly, though from seeing his eyes I knew it still haunted him.
"Rouges?" I asked cautiously.
He nodded, and I pouted, "I'm sorry..." I don't know what to say to that. What can you say? Losing your other half is horrible and sometimes deadly or even able to cause you to go insane. I reach out slowly and pat his head, he looks at me amused. Then his face turns serious.
"Why do you have so many scars?" He asks carefully watching my expression.
I look at him utterly confused, "because.."
" why was he asking this? I was treated like an omega, wasn't that enough?
My confusion must have shown because he asked again, "who gave you the scars and beatings?"
I hesitated, "my pack of course.." I stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
He looked angry but confused, "why?"
I looked at him like he was dumb, "well I already said, I'm the Omega. In other words the pack slave. Its how Omegas are treated.." I lied about the omega issue but by time I finished he looked even more mad.
"I-Isnt that how all packs are?" I asked, timidly. I don't want to be hit again, and treated that way.
The next I know he's standing and looking down at me, with the amount of rage I felt off him I became frightened, and I backed away, falling off the bed.
"Please.." I whimpered, waiting for a kick, a punch, the pain.
He moved around the bed, and I had backed up as far as I could possibly go. But he stopped in front of me. I looked up, and some of the rage I had seen dimmed as he looked down at me. "We do not hurt our members, no matter their title. Only monsters do that to their members..." he spit. I looked at him wide eyed.
"S-so your not g-going to hit me?" I whispered.
He looked disgusted, "no. And no one here will hurt you, I see it will take time and healing for you to believe that."
I looked at him closer, he was nice or so he seemed and he was attractive; A bit more taller than Eli, but about the same in muscles.
"Jason.." I began slowly, "what will the Alpha and Luna do with me?"
He shook his head and patted my head, "I dont know. But I do know they wont hurt you." He raised his brow, "how old are you exactly?"
I debated whether to answer honestly, but decided it would be best. "I turned 18 a couple days ago.." I hung my head, that was supposed to be the best day.
"And when did you find your mate?" He asked.
"The day I turned 18." I said sadly.
I was again surrounded by his warmth, and yet again I leaned into it. Enjoying it, even though I knew it wouldn't last long. When he pulled away, I noticed I was tired. Jason also noticed, he picked me up slowly and put me back on the bed.
"Eat and then rest. I will speak to Alpha Gracan, and Luna Jamie." I nodded and he left, shutting the door with a soft click.
I ate as much as my stomach would allow without getting sick, then I laid down.
