Chapter Two
Ryker POV
My bare back was exposed, red and sore but Kael only looked away as the guards dragged me out, my eyes turned to him pleading.
"Please my Lord, help me." I pleaded as I tried to fight against the grip of these fierce men, they were the pack warriors, the guards of the Alpha, I knew where it was gonna end.
"Halt!" Kael said and the guards stopped and moved back wards before Kael who was already dressed walked up to me.
He used his right hand to raise my chin, his dark eyes stared back into mine, no emotions were in his eyes as he stared at me.
"Who ordered you in here?"
"The Alpha, my Lord." One of the guards said with his head bowed but his words not truly respectful.
It wasn't news that Prince Kael was despised by the Luna of the pack, even more by his very own father, the Alpha, even at that, his influence in the Pack is formidable.
Kael clapped twice and the door was pushed open, Prince Kael guards stood there with grim expression.
"Tie them up and send them to the dungeon." Kael ordered coldly but his words made me relax, they aren't gonna take me away now so am basically safe.
"Yes my Lord." The guards tied the pack warriors up without any words of protest from them. The very next words from Kael scattered me into pieces.
"Take him to my Father and have him know that his men won't be released any time soon until they learn the basic etiquette."
I remained silent as the guards dragged me out, they took me out of the pack house and threw me into an SUV, the comfortable seat on the car felt like pins when I sat on it, the silver chains tore through my body in pains but I endured it, tears welled up in my eyes but I refused to let it fall, else my punishment would even be more painful.
The car stopped in front of a tall building, the men literally dragged my small self out and walked into the building, if am not mistaken, this is office of the Alpha, my heart's thumped loudly against my chest, this isn't the first time am meeting the broad and majestic Alpha, his very presence made many shuddered.
My somewhat distort appearance gained the attention of many, but they all looked away unborthered when they notice it's an Omega.
Omegas are considered lowly thus what they do with us didn't really affect them, plus the fact that I didn't even have a family, my family was killed by the war when I was only four, I had been raised in the pack house ever since, as a servant of course, subject to all forms of ridicule by the pack members.
The guards dragged me by the chain, sending pains down my entire body, plus my itchy throat and back after the entire ordeal by Prince Kael.
I was led to this huge office at the top floor, Elder Virelson stood with his back facing me, he turned around with his usual sharp gaze when he heard the guards spoke.
"Alpha, Elder Virelson." The guards bowed in respect when facing them both, my head was already down but I didn't utter a word.
"Is he the one you speak of Virelson?" The Alpha magnifying voice rang out.
"Raise your head."
I lifted my face up to so my entire body was facing them and Elder nodded.
"He needs to be beheaded right away Alpha, the more time wasted, the more gruesome the result might be " Elder Virelson said with a grim expression, as if he wasn't just talking about my death casually.
"Now let's not be too harsh Virelson, he is just a lowly Omega, his death would make no impact."
"He saw what his eyes shouldn't have seen My Lord." Virelson insisted, his voice crooked and old yet his eyes held so much youthfulness.
Alpha Jaxon glanced at me with furrowed brows, the kind that made me wanna wet my pants, I knew he couldn't kill me, for some reason, he had always hated me and treated me to all sorts of malicious punishment but he always made sure none of them are life threatening, I've always wondered why, even when he beheaded a few Omega's when trying to escape the pack, he left me alive, even though I was among them.
"You know he should be let alive Virelson." Alpha Jaxon scolded respectfully but Virelson only snorted.
"It's been more than seventeen years my Lord, his wolf isn't awoken yet, he is just a useless Omega."
Seeing them casually talking about my death in front of me, I clutched at my hands, trying to avoid the itch of the silver chain but it only made it more worse.
"Why is he like that." The Alpha suddenly asked, jolting me back to reality.
"Prince Kael had some business with him Alpha." One of the fierce guards muttered and Alpha Jaxon eyes darkened.
"Take him back to the Pack house house and lock him up in his room, inform Kael to see me in my office right now."
"Yes my Lord."
The guards dragged me out without warning and threw me into the car, a sharp pain weaved through my entire body making me shake violently.
"Please... unbound the chains from me, it's too much." I managed to voice out, my voice low and pitiful, a guard glanced at me and sighed, using a key sets in his pockets, he unlocked the chains and removed everything from me.
The instant relief didn't come as I expected, instead a sharp pain bore through my pain narrow, I screamed so loud that even the passerbys had to turn around to see what's happening.
"Shut the Fuck up Dickhead." The fierce looking guard snapped and smashed my head against the backseat, I bit my lips to avoid screaming in pain, when I lifted my head back back, red blood flowed down my face.
"He's bleeding, you were too harsh on him." One of the guards among the three who appeared less scary voiced out.
"He's going to be fine dude, it's not like he has a wolf that is weak to silver." He said as he jumped in to the car.
His words hit me like a volcano, being a werewolf Omega made my life a living hell as an outcast, I had no use in the pack except cleaning, I am too weak to other outdoor works.
Even through the pains, sleep crept in, before we arrived at the pack house, I was feeling drowsy, the guards didn't even bother waking me up, as usual they yanked me out of the car and dragged me inside, to the servants quarters.
They locked me up in my tiny room, where an iron bed stand with a small foam stood in the middle plus my bag I put my clothes in, plus a tiny table at the corners.
The room was so small that even though this were the only things on the room, there still wasn't space in here, I walked slowly towards the bed, my back still itching, picking up a robe from my bag, I tied it across my wounded back and climbed into the bed, I folded my hands across my knee when the door was yanked opened without warning and two Omega maids walked in, one carrying a tray of food that made my mouth water, I couldn't remember if I had taken anything today.
"Ohh poor thing, look how badly wounded he is, just looking at his injuries make me want to puke." Angela, the cocky looking Omega spat out.
I didn't bother replying them as usual, I know it would only lead to more insults, why bother with them, I carefully stood up from the bed and walked to the table where the food was placed, I sighed with resignation when I saw the dish, as usual it was a leftover meals by the servants, plus a mini sized porridge with too much water in it, my appetite suddenly vanished and I walked back to the bed.
"Did you hear? The Alpha of Crescent Moon pack would be visiting our Pack."
"What? The handsome young and powerful Alpha? Why would he come here?" Angela asked with a blush.
The Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack is the youngest Alpha to ever ascend the throne, yet so powerful, he is largely feared and known for his ruthlessness.
"It should be because of the new treaty between our pack and Crescent Moon pack."
"What treaty? Where do you even get your news from, I've..."
As their voices trailed down the hallway, I stood up suddenly with a thought, for a long while since I turned eighteen, I've been plotting my escape, what better chance is there than now that the Alpha is visiting, the entire pack would be too focused on preparing for his presence that their attention wouldn't be on me at all, it has always been this way.
With this thought in mind, I scram to the table and began eating the leftovers, if I plan to escape, I need all the strengths I could gather.
The next day, the guards came to unlock my room and commanded me to return to my duties, but this time my work area was cleaning the grand hall for the visiting Alpha presence, this was my chance to escape, the Alpha would be arriving today so I'd use this opportunity to leave unnoticed out of this hell hole.
